When Ace is just resting during the verse and Paul plays simple octavs and some scratches, Gene keeps the momentum up with the pentatonic main riff. A very muscular performance. The good thing about this bass-line is that you hardly leave the 3rd position (slight forays down into 1st position is all). Although he stays away from the slides this time around, gene manages a few slight variations in the chorus. I should raise a finger of warning about the odd bars of 9/8 that shows up in Rhy. Fig 6a. If you're a KISS fan you might not notice it anymore but it is kind of odd when you think about it.
