In a recent interview with Rock Candy magazine, singer and guitarist Paul Stanley talked about Kiss’s album ”Destroyer”, where he mentioned that he was devastated when bassist Gene Simmons sang the classic song ”God Of Thunder”.
He said:
“Let’s put it mildly. It was crushing and devastating. We’d understood and agreed that the role of the producer on ‘Destroyer’ was to have the final say and make decisions.
”When I played ‘God Of Thunder’, Bob immediately said, ‘Oh, that’s great. That’s for Gene.’ I was just devastated. The idea of a song so quickly being passed off from me to someone else… It was difficult, and it remained a sore point, even when I heard it finished.”
