Kiss Kiss Kiss una delle parole che più preferisco nella storia del rock, la parola si riferisce allo storico gruppo musicale USA che ottenne molto successo in tutto il mondo sia per la loro musica che per il loro Look e a quei tempi non era di certo poco. Loro si differenziavano a parte per lo stile ma anche per quella corrente definita all'epoca Glam Rock assieme ad altri capisaldi del genere come Alice Cooper e altri... ma tornando a loro negli anni '70 sprigionarono diversi capolavori che ancora oggi sono apprezzati in tutto il mondo e gli ha fatto guadagnare un sacco di soldi e anche questo non è poco. La loro storia si divide in tappe per quanto riguarda generi musicali e cambi di Line-Up ma questo non immediatamente, infatti per tutti gli anni '70 la loro formazione rimane sempre quella ovvero quella storica mentre negli anni '80 gia i primi cambiamenti e poi sempre cosi tranne i due Leader Paul Stanley e Gene Simmons che hanno sempre lavorato per portare al successo la band. I Kiss nella loro carriera hanno spaziato in molti generi dall'Hard Rock al Glam Rock, Heavy Metal, Hair metal negli anni '80 fino ad arrivare a fine anni '70 ad intraprendere per un album la via della Disco Music che tanto odiata ma anche tanto amata da una certa schiera di fans, ma Loro sia nel bene che nel male rimangono i Grandi Kiss bravi e zozzi come sempre soprattutto Gene.
Ma passiamo alla descrizione dell'album "Lick It Up", una pietra miliare della loro discografia e della storia dell'Hard Rock con i suoi grandi pezzi dal primo all'ultimo partendo dal primo pezzo intitolato Exciter bello e dannatamente rock con un briciolo di sensualità nel ritornello poi è il momento di Not For The Innocent cantata da Gene carina anche questa poi arriva il momento della Title Track Lick It Up bella sempre molto allegra e molto Glam per i tempi, arrivando poi alla quarta gemma dell'album ovvero Young And Wasted cantata ancora da Gene una grande canzone potentissima e velocissima e molto sporca nel cantato come ci si poteva aspettare eeeeeeee alla quinta marcia incontriamo Gimme More vocalist Paul e un'altro pezzo molto travolgente con un bel ritornello orecchiabile e prepotentemente Heavy.
La seconda parte un pochino meno entusiasmante della prima ma comunque Ok inizia con All Hell's Breakin' Loose molto Stradaiola e accattivante il tutto condito dalla voce di Paul sempre in forma strepitosa per passare poi ad un brano tutto sommato carino ma non a livello degli altri ma gradevole intitolato A Million To One. La festa ovviamente non è finita perchè si continua ancora con Gene davvero ispirato che mette sul piatto una certa Fits Like A Glove dannatamente bastarda e spara sesso da tutti i pori ma nel contesto musicale ben strutturata chiudendo poi con le ultime due Track Dance All Over Your Face e And On The 8th Day molto più trascinante la prima della seconda ma nel complesso belle tutte e due. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Il disco è assolutamente da avere per gli amanti del genere Hair Metal sicuramente non vi deluderà, un po' meno per altri ma basta ascoltatelo eeeh! l'anno è il 1983 le maschere non esistono più ma esiste un trucco tipico stile Glam Metal del periodo e una grande musica che quella non cambia mai da sempre ha caratterizzato il grande stile Kiss che non morira mai, una band che o si ama o si odia io la Amo da sempre e per chi ama i Kiss non puo' che essere dello stesso parere quindi buon ascolto e godetevi questo capolavoro che non vi stancherete mai di sentire.
Good Evening e ROCK FOREVER!!!!!!

04 Young and Wasted (04:05)
Like a fly to a spider, you're under the spell
It's the game and the liar, for those who toll the bell
You're more than just a name, you fight for the right
Like a moth to a flame, you see the bait you bite
You're restless and wild and walkin' the line
You're not just another pretty face
Need an answer fast and you're runnin' out of time
And the night goes on for days
Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah - young and wasted
You been branded by the iron, you been cut by the knife
There's a monkey on your back runnin' up and down your spine
Up and down your spine
You hunger for the fire and run with the pack
But you know damn well there ain't no turnin' back
Ain't no turnin' back, no no
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so you cross the gates of hate
Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it
Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so let the heaven say
Young and wasted, young and wasted
Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
05 Gimme More (03:44)
Live wire on the loose, white fire gotta move
Hot blood, need your love, hard as rock, can't get enough
Wanna feel you deep inside, pumpin' through my veins, fill you to the core
Let me take you thru the night, heaven knows no pain, open up the door
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh
Like a dog to a bone, make you sweat, make you moan
Love is sweet, so insane, come on lick my candy cane
Passion in the third degree, burning in my brain, slave to love's desire
Livin', lovin', feel the heat, never to be tamed, born to play with fire
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, yeah yeah
Ah, listen - touch my body, take it slow, c'mon make my juices flow
Feelin' good, any price, ooh nothin' I won't sacrifice
Got a thirst for playin' rough, I can't get my fill, never keepin' score
C'mon baby, let me in, gonna break your will, open up the door
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, I want you
C'mon and gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme, ooh
08 Fits Like a Glove (04:04)
Ain't a cardinal sin, baby lemme in, girl I'm gonna treat you right
Well goodness sakes, my snake's alive and it's ready to bite
Hornet's nest, lay me down to rest, ooh I wanna shed my skin
I got the urge to merge, you're cold as ice, baby won't you lemme in
Night scenes, wet dreams, enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel
Don't like to dress, talk too good, but I found my queen
Not too clean, know what I like, if you know what I mean
Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines
This must be love, fits like a glove
Well it must be love, it must be love - fits like a glove - fits like a glove
Feel the heat, driver's seat, my blessing is my curse
Think I'm gonna burst, a gonna burst, a gonna burst
Night scenes, wet dreams, enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel
Ooh baby, babe - fits like a glove
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah - fits like a glove - fits like a glove
Cause when I go through her, it's just like a hot knife through butter, ooh yeah
Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines
Fits like a glove - well it must be love, it must be love - fits like a glove
Fits like a glove - well it must be love, it must be love
Fits like a glove
09 Dance All Over Your Face (04:16)
Baby, I know it's a jungle out there
Well if you can play it cool, I can play it debonair
You were warm, but there was an inner ice
And baby, it was like a rollin' dice
Well I told you once, I told you twice
Hey listen babe, there's trouble in paradise
Well I found a lipstick stain of your kiss
Well you can sink your teeth into this, bitch, so
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
Hey baby, can you pass this quiz
Well, just put your money where your mouth is
You're as sharp as a slap from a lover's hand
Hey baby, baby, baby, this is all I can stand
You played your hand, and now you lose, well listen bitch, I've got news
Yes, I saw you with another man and you put me in disgrace, so
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all
Dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
No cheap perfume can change my mind, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance all over your face
No thigh high boots, forbidden fruits, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance

Di il giustiziere
I Kiss erano sotto pressione come la tazza del cesso di Galeazzi.
'Fits like a glove', oscena letteralmente e musicalmente (l'ho skippata in 1 secondo e 1/2, credo sia un record).
Di ELECTRIC EYE
Il lavoro in questione è "Lick It Up" dei KISS, una delle band che ha segnato la storia del rock.
Un album da non perdere per i fan di questa grandissima band che ha sempre fatto divertire molta gente.
