Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The last album with the original line-up (unless you count the 1998 reunion Psycho Circus), Love Gun contains a few missteps (such as the reworking of the classic "Then He Kissed Me") but is mostly packed to the gills with the good, fun, trashy rock & roll that made Kiss legendary. One frequently overlooked high point is the song "Almost Human", which strikes a positively creepy note. Then there's Ace Frehley's first stint on lead vocals with "Shock Me", the un-PC but affectionate "Plaster Caster", and the well-known title track. True, there's no equivalent to "Rock & Roll All Night" (the obvious attempt falls flat), but that doesn't stop this from being not only classic Kiss, but classic 1970s rock. --Genevieve Williams
Chronique amazon.fr
Love Gun est le dernier album (à moins qu'on inclue la réunion Psycho Circus de 1998) enregistré avec la formation originale de Kiss. Si l'on oublie la reprise de "Then He Kissed Me", Love Gun regorge du rock & roll fun et canaille qui a fait la légende du groupe. "Almost Human", pas très connu, est pourtant un des titres les plus sombres qui aient jamais été écrits. "Shock Me" est la première chanson d'Ace Frehley en tant que lead vocals. On retrouvera ensuite le tendre "Plaster Caster" avant le célèbre titre éponyme de l'album. C'est vrai que rien ne vaut "Rock & Roll All Night" mais Love Gun reste un classique, à la fois du groupe et du rock des années 70. --Genevieve Williams

The final album of KISS' classic era,
By
This review is from: Love Gun (Audio CD)
KISS' sixth album Love Gun was released in June of 1977. Love Gun was the band's sixth studio album in a 3-year period, an amazingly prolific output considering how many bands today release only one album during the same period. Love Gun's not only when the band was at the height of their success but also when tensions were started to show in their armor. This album was once again a Platinum seller which hit #4 on the album charts and saw the band co-producing with Eddie Kramer. Love Gun was the first KISS album to have all four members have a lead vocal. Rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley sang the killer opening I Stole Your Love, the anthemic Tomorrow and Tonight, the rocking title cut and the closing cover of The Crystals' Then He Kissed Me retitled as Then She Kissed Me and KISS' version was much better than the original turning a sappy song into a great rocker with great solos from lead guitarist Ace Frehley whom made his vocal debut on the killer Shock Me. Bassist Gene Simmons sang the hit Christine Sixteen, the rocking Got Love For Sale, the heavy Almost Human and the rocker Plaster Caster. Drummer Peter Criss sang his best rocker with Hooligan on this album. I first got this album on cassette in December of 1988 and upgraded to CD in July of 1993 but the sound was eh. The 1997 remaster with the original artwork is the definitive version of Love Gun. This album is highly recommended!

LOVE GUN-GREAT FOLLOW UP TO ROCK `N' ROLL OVER,
By Vinnie Jackson "Eddie" (gothenburg, vg sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Gun (Audio CD)
GREAT ALBUM, BUT SOME VOIDS'S IN SOME SONGS. THE STYLE OF TOMMOROW AND TONIGHT DONT FIT IN AT ALL, BUT THE SONG'S GOOD. HOOLIGAN, HMM NOT BAD, BUT TO BLUESY. PLASTER CASTER IS A SONG, THAT I'VE NEVER LIKED TOO MUCH. AND WHY THEN SHE KISSED ME? IT'S THE ONLY SONGS THAT SUCKS. THE OTHER SONGS ARE 5 STARS SONGS. NOT AS GOOD AS ROCK `N' ROLL OVER- DESTROYER

WEAK - VERY WEAK,
By
This review is from: Love Gun (Audio CD)
This is where Kiss started to get silly and the money making machine that previously was a slightly dangerous rock 'n roll band was in full force.Back in the mid-seventies I was a full blown Kiss maniac. I loved Alive (still do), Destroyer and Rock 'n Roll Over. But this is the last album that stopped me from listening to Kiss. Except for the title song which is just above average, this album is sub-par. All of the songs are weak. Christine Sixteen which was the first single off the album is positively dreadful. This song is pop not rock 'n roll and not even good pop!! The album also suffers from overblown production. The vocals are mixed to death and must have been overdubbed upteen times. Before this album Ace lead guitar was solid and sometimes great. On this album the lead guitar solos just kind of lay there, which is partly because of the overblown production. I know this sounds negative, but I am just venting because I still remember being very dissapointed with this album, whereas before I was a Kiss maniac. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
