That was never part of the way I came up. The...

In hindsight, it’s easy to see why the LP was a success.

After signing their record deal, the band wanted to self-produce their debut album. However, the label wasn’t comfortable giving a new act such power....

Eddie Kramer, who helped secure Kiss’ future with his production work on their 1975 album Alive!, recalled how nervous Ace Frehley could be in the studio. In a recent interview with Guitar World, he said he’d resorted to special measures in order to get the best out of the guitarist for his 1978 self-titled solo debut. “Ace is interesting because many interesting things go on in his brain – but you must get him in the right mood to get that cool stuff out,” Kramer said. “I had to have him lie on the floor with a pillow behind his head and a bottle of Heineken because he was too nervous to stan...
