Hello hello,
Here's another look at Gene Simmons's solo CD, from Dan MacIntosh at Audio
Video Revolution. Here's how it starts...
"Gene Simmonsı solo CDs do not just present the KISS man sans the makeup,
but with this poorly titled ***HOLE disc in particular (the asterisks stand
in for the ³A² word used to describe oneıs posterior, by the way), we also
get a glimpse of the rock starıs rarely revealed soft white underbelly.
This uncommon view of Simmons is best exemplified by ³Waiting for the
Morning Light,² which the performer co-wrote with Bob Dylan, of all people!
It finds Simmons singing in a scratchy Don Henley-like voice. Instead of
layered, raging guitars, Simmons croons it over piano to the beat of a lazy
rhythm. Certainly these are not the kinds of elements you would normally
associate with Simmonsı popular rock persona. In fact, this song sounds
closer to a George Harrison ballad than to anything in the rest of his KISS
army repertoire. Might there truly be a real person underneath all of that
showbiz apparel after all? "
