LOVE (from the KISS CD "ROCK AND ROLL OVER") -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: Kind of a cluttered track this. The song is good but did they have to use all those guitars? The main riff, Rhy. Fig 1, is played by two guitars, one left and one right. Then Rhy. Fig 2 comes in with a centered guitar far back in the mix. Just in time for the climax of the second verse, the fourth guitar makes its appearance. And that¥s not counting fills (Ace does some seriously sick bends on this track, he even uses the tuning peg at one point). The solo is good but sits atop some serious overkill. Three guitars are playing rhytym here which makes the solo a little bit hard to make out at times. And, as I¥ve said before, this album is Ace¥s highpoint and he rips a good one here. Not as fast as MAKIN¥ LOVE and a little rough around the edges, this is still something to aspire to.
