15 Things Only KISS Fans Will Understand

6. ...And It Still Features The Best Version Of Rock And Roll All Nite

One of the best moments on Alive! is Rock And Roll All Nite. OK, some KISS fans think it's overplayed and probably prefer some of the lesser-known songs on the album (100,000 Years, Parasite and Cold Gin absolutely rock on this record), but RARAN is the band's most iconic tune - and it has never sounded better than on here. Next time you chat to a casual fan of the band and they tell you that the studio version of RARAN is their favourite KISS song, send them to listen to Alive! and it'll blow their opinion out of the water. The arrangement, the post-production, the performances and THAT guitar solo are out of this world. It's Alive!'s, and arguably the band's, crowning moment.
