I think I just wrote an 80s KISS song about falling in love with a stripper!

[@michaelperez4001]

This is the best thing I’ve heard in years. Great job

[@Kameron081789]

Uh…..could we get a full album of songs in the style of KISS? This is too good to stop at just one!!

[@daviddarroch6057]

Please do a vid explaining how you did this, especially the vocals. This is SO good. Brilliant work bud.

[@drcrutch]

Seriously? YOU wrote this? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

[@HannahCope88]

I love this, sounds just like KISS! Wouldn't sound out of place on any 80s KISS album! I need this on my ipod now! Awesome songwriting Mike. I LOVE the lyrics! You sound just like Paul hehe, can't wait to hear how you did it🤘🏻🔥🙂

[@DMSProduktions]

He might have AIed his voice!

[@cancelbubble6535]

Next up, "I think I just wrote an 80s Anthrax song about divorcing a stripper" Really good vocal production, very Paul'ish. You should do a follow-up video about how you engineered all that, the vocals were the most interesting thing, IMO.

[@prhmusic]

2:43 - this is perfect for the KISS era you are capturing, with the snare drum not playing the 2 and 4!

[@SHOUTband]

Awesome! really nailed paul's voice!

[@scampydog2318]

Great 👍😃 The very first bit gave me T. Rex 20th century boy vibes

[@theorangegoodness]

Yeah man even got the Gene Sunn amp tone! Nice singing too! Makes me want to buy cigs and I don’t even smoke!

[@derekmardis3271]

Love this! 80s KISS is my favorite era this really captures the vibe

[@sinakaedwards2009]

This is straight out tha 80s. Pretty good, reminds me of the begging of an 80s action flick.

[@zisisamp]

Love that riff sounds like a mix of war machine and tonight you belong to me

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Good call! I agree.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Also Sure Know Something which is one of my favorite kISS tunes.

[@michaelbeem1737]

Literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor.... dude, you nailed this dead on... I can't quit listening to it ‼️

[@izzikixx]

I think you nailed it man. If I heard it in the wild I'd swear it was a KISS or Paul solo song that I'd missed somehow. So much good stuff in there- and I love the interlude that starts around 2:55 - niiice!

[@mmiller6873]

I totally dig it. 80's was the best and you nailed that vibe perfectly. Well done bro.

[@jerrygriffin6388]

Love this, it IS so late ‘80’s KISS! Very well done!

[@kth90001]

As a huge Kiss fan I had to listen to this a couple of times. It's a great faxsimile of them from the 80's! Can't wait to see the video on how you captured the essence of the band and especially Paul's vocals.

[@oliverhayirli1709]

Do one in the style of Ratt! That would be awesome 😁🤘🏻

[@HOSTGANGENT]

Honestly for your own home recording, this is pretty high fidelity and a well balanced mix. Good stuff.

[@109acepilot]

Great job Mike!

[@shanebarber9330]

Dude!! This song kicks serious ass!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@jfbluey]

Brilliant 👏

[@davidscottking]

Nice! It does kinda sound like Paul from the late 80's (post Crazy Nights), and the lead work definitely sounds like Bruce Kulick.

[@stevenhossack83]

This is so fucking good man!

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Thanks Steven. It was so fun to make. Lyrics were pure hell to write though. hehe

Total Banger!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Who hasn't fell in love with a stripper? Great representation of 80's KISS. Nice job. How much did you have to pay Paul to do the vocals?

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I had to borrow from Peter to pay Paul. hehe

[@JoaoGabrielJF724]

I didn't fall in love with a str*****, but I fell in love with a Ukrainian streamer 🙁😭

[@DMSProduktions]

Not me!

[@Tekzel]

I never have. Sadly, at 52 I've never been to a strip club. Maybe I should go and see if I can fall in love with one. My wife might object though.

I sent it to Bruce Kulick. I hope he agrees. :)

[@Pungzor]

@@TheArtofGuitar must be a surreal feeling to have a fan send a fan song but with "Pauls" voice on it. Awesome song tho' Mike! Sounds like a blend of 80's KISS and Pauls solo album from '06.

[@MNskins11]

My thoughts exactly

[@MKRISING75]

🤯This totally awesome Mike phenomenon song color me impressed 🤟🏻

Holy sh*t man, you've pulled this off excellently. Well done!

[@danwilhite]

Well done! 🔥🔥🔥

[@adriaticvenetians]

are these your vocals? you sound great

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I sang all the vocals but treated the main vocals so they sound more like Paul. I'm gonna explain it in an upcoming video. Thank you. :)

[@damefortune]

@@TheArtofGuitarplease do! You really captured the spirit of Paul Stanley in the mid to late 80’s!

[@Thefrawkster]

Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kissarmythings]

Very fun hearing this!! The opening riff reminds me of War Machine from Creatures, and while the rest does have a Crazy Nights era sound to it... there's still a very clear klassik 70s KISS feel as well 🤘 This must've been fun to make, thanks for sharing it with us all!!

[@mikmullen8421]

Yea Mike this is awesome

[@meljohnson5579]

Oh yeah...I'm seeing my old posters on the wall😊

Break out the black lights. haha

[@hotdiggityd]

Bro this is a banger

[@wildside1951]

That melody reminds me of a band from NJ, Enemy's song Do What You Want

[@ThomasRaymond47]

Great job.

[@OD138]

Did you use a Paul Stanley voice app?

[@Jaymze13]

Uhhhmmmm..........autobiographical? Personal experience? 😉 😉 Joking aside, great from start finish. Even the little "Christine Sixteen" type riff on the piano in the background. At least I think it's a piano. I echo what a couple of others have said; full album? If not, maybe an EP? Brilliant work. Brilliant.

[@xyz8655]

Is that you singing? I always thought of you as an Ace. Excellent Job

[@4LowRocks]

Nice work! More the style of the post Ace Freely and Peter Criss version of the band vs. the earlier songs.

[@imcmah]

How does this only have 5 thousand views when you have almost a million subscribers and it's so well done?!

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I know, it kinda sucks but 1: only so many people like original songs, 2: only so many people like KISS, and 3: if KZbin doesn't think a video is doing well it won't show it to all my subscribers. I've studied and accepted this. But thank you for your comment, I'm very happy you like it along with many others who have heard it. :)

[@DanielHuman1996]

Oh yeah, you really captured 80's Kiss. Gene and Paul have passed the tiger print spandex. From this day forward, you will be followed by every kitten in the neighborhood😮

Now pay kiss to actually do this cuz this is phenomenal

[@dmarlan]

Sounds like stanley alright. I'd buy it

[@jeremybradley559]

Is this you singing Mike ? It sounds spot on.

[@MegaLoucon]

Sounds like it would blend nicely in the kiss box set next to time traveller.

[@wamp9175]

Wow. That's awesome! Sounds just like 80s KISS, but for shits and giggles, you should try remixing almost dry, with the lead and rhythm guitars panned more left and right, and see if it sounds like it would work on the first album!! 😁😆😅🤣😂

[@rolandcook2556]

Reminds me of Unmasked era KISS

[@tonygrimsley]

Definitely sounds like Paul solo album or maybe Unmasked

[@stoneagedjp]

This rocks! Great hard rock production. Much better than KISS.

Mike! Have you ever heard of “Klassik 78’?” If not, PLEASE take 5 minutes to check them out! This sounds like it could be on an album “Klassik 87’!”

[@finaljesus]

this is an awesome song like everyone says you nailed it with the kiss style and yet no solo which is cool I mean no main solo this is better then the crap that’s out there today

[@joekingsley7642]

Hey Mike, tell us your thought process/creative process, how you think about putting something together and building it up. All the best and cheers for the content :)

unreleased song from Paul's 78 solo album

[@saschaploner5636]

[@Zeptyche]

It sounds kinda 90’s Kiss to me, the drums have Revenge written all over them

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I agree. It’s hard to get that 80’s KISS drum sound with my current setup but that’s a huge compliment to me because I loved revenge.

[@JJvienneau]

Falling in love with a stripper is a great topic!! I fell in love with the first stripper I saw on my 16th birthday. 18 was the age ( yeah Quebec Canada) but I had a fake I.D. actually my friend's older brothers friend's ID. No photo. It was the 90s Just had to remember all his personal info and social insurance # and not shave that little mustache. She danced to Paradise City and the Rooster.🤘

Tip to make it more KISS like, add some bass slides. Gene is known for his slides and ability to not be in the studio while bass tracks were recorded. If you listen though, Gene does slide an awful lot.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Good call. Thank you. I'll get sliding on the next one for sure.
