Kiss: 10 Awesome '90's Songs You've Never Heard

7. "Goin' Blind" - Unplugged, 1996

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD6e0TYA35M Long time readers may recall the first installment in this series of articles, "Kiss: 10 Awesome '70's Tracks You've Never Heard". The leading song at number 10 in that list was "Goin' Bind", a tune that is one of the most underrated and underappreciated in the entire Kiss catalogue. Its inclusion here on Unplugged attests to this. While many of the tunes on Unplugged lost their edge due to, well, unplugging, this one could actually be considered to be an improvement on the original. The memorable bass line carries the song throughout with the acoustic guitars filling things out nicely with a classic descending riff in its chorus. Simmons does an admirable job vocally, a tough go in this stripped down setting.
