Kiss Gene Simmons (1978).

[vía Wikipedia]


Por si todo lo que habían hecho hasta el momento fuese poco, el contrato con Casablanca obligaba a grabar discos en solitario. Así que Kiss y su mánager se plantearon un plan que les llevaría al límite en popularidad. Por un lado una película (ya hablaré sobre ella) y por otro, sacar en un sólo día (dieciocho de septiembre de 1978) cuatro discos, uno con cada músico.


Hicieron los cuatro discos siguiendo los gustos de cada músico y ninguno contó con los demás miembros de la banda para grabar las canciones.

Empiezo por el de Gene Simmons, no por nada, simplemente porque en la Wikipedia sale el primero, y prefiero no perderme.

Es un disco muy variado, con más canciones cercanas al pop-rock que al rock duro, incluyendo una versión de When You Wish Upon a Star. Por cierto, Gene contó con muchos colaboradores (os recomiendo la lista completa en la entrada de la wikipedia) pero me resulta curioso que aparcara el bajo para tocar la guitarra. Casi me cuesta imaginármelo con otro instrumento.

As if all they had done so far were not enough, the contract with Casablanca included recording solo albumsSo Kiss and her manager had a plan that would lead them to the top in popularity.First, a movie (I'll talk about it) and secondly, release in one day (September 18, 1978) four LPs, one of each musician.



The four albums were  shaped in the tastes of each musician and didn't featured other members of the band to record songs.




I begin with Gene Simmons' solo efford, simply because this one comes up first at Wikipedia.




It's very diverse, with more songs closer to pop-rock than to heavy rock, including a cover version of When You Wish Upon a Star, Gene had many collaborators (check the complete list in this wikipedia entry ) but I find peculiar that he didn't played the bass and played the guitar. I can hardly imagine him playing another instrument.
