This version of 'God of Thunder' is so badass because the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra adds more firepower to the song.

There are many cultures, many religions, many ways to perceive and express divinity. This one is about an entity, which is ancient, impatient, authoritative, proud and insatiably lustful. Last but not least, a playful rascal. The lyrics are clear enough, to leave no room for misunderstanding. Rock and roll would be his kind of taste, maybe...

Gene was all about theatrics when it came to his "solo" He never wanted to be someone to play a million notes and shred he just wanted to entertain the crowd and you have to respect that because entertain he does !

I remember, I was about ten years old, and I picked up a video game called Tony Hawk's Underground, which had a clip of this video in it. I remember being slightly freaked out by Gene at first, but then I began to watch the clip relentlessly, eventually begging my parents for guitar lessons. That was eleven years ago, and today I'm still learning to play(though my taste in music has somewhat broadened), but I owe it all to these guys and this song.

Se existe um membro original do Kiss que mais gostou de retornarem com a maquiagem, com certeza foi o Gene . Antes ele era mais um baixista/vocalista, mas como o Demon ele é um personagem diferenciado na história do rock.

This is what made me a Kiss fan! Origin story (if you have time): the year is 2003 and I am 8 years old. My best friend at the time Sam came over to my house and we were playing Tony Hawk's Underground on PlayStation 2. We beat the game and it had this bonus level that I had never seen called Hotter Than Hell, so I asked Sam can we co-op on that level? So he clicks it, and a loading screen pops up. On the loading screen was the animated version of the members of Kiss. So I asked Sam yo who are these guys? And Sam says "Oh, that is Kiss, they are a rock band, so you probably wouldn't like them." Because hip hop and rap is the only genre of music I listened to at 8 years old. So the level loads, and we end up collecting the letters K-I-S-S that were scattered across the level. After we got the last letter, a 30-second video played which was a visual compilation of this concert, with the audio of this version of God of Thunder playing! And I was blown away and immediately enraptured by what I saw! Kind of in shock as well, because I'd never seen anything like it! There's fire, blood, an orchestra, a guitar shaped like an Axe and 4 grown men in leather, platform boots and Kabuki makeup! I was immediately hooked. Well if you collect the letters again the animated versions of them will pop up on the stage and play a song from the Symphony Concert: Alive! IV! I quickly listened to the other two songs on the game, and I was hooked. From that moment on I needed to know everything about Kiss! So after Sam leaves, I'm talking to my mom and I asked her has she ever heard of a band called Kiss? She tells me that they were one of her first concerts that she went to in 1977! Shortly thereafter, a friend of mine gave me her bass guitar, and I never looked back. The rest, is Kisstory! Thanks for reading if you did! I didn't mean to make it this long!

Yes it is Peter, he played through the following tour 0f '03 and coincidentally performed his last kiss show on his birthday. After the tour had ended, the other members decided to let him go cause he didn't have the energy anymore. He left in in '01 midway through the farewell tour because of contractual issues and was replaced by Eric Singer and then came back to do the the '03 tour. Then (if you are not confused) was once again replaced by Eric and has been with the group since then.
