Kiss was the band that turned a generation of kids — including me — into rock & roll obsessives. Love ’em or hate ’em, Kiss became huge stars after the release of the “Destroyer” album in 1976. This is one of my favorite songs on the album, and features some off-the-wall moments like circus instruments, odd time signatures and a mysterious guitar solo. Your uniform is leather, your power is your age– set the world on fire, baby!

Destroyer has been a favorite album of mine since I was a kid. I loved listening to it in it's entirety.
Destroyer had an atmosphere to it that I really loved.
Great job Brad!
