The Elder was more of Bob Ezrin and Gene's idea. I don't think Paul ever really liked it, but it did lend it's self to Gene's love of fantasy and horror. In my opinion, that album was the best mistake they ever made, one of my favourite KISS albums.

I was relieved when they finally re-released it on CD, and it was awesome!!!
