ISS ALIVE III ALBUM RELEASED

KISS' Gold ALIVE III album was released May 18th, 1993. Their third live album featured a tougher sounding KISS, as Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer tore through sixteen KISS Classics, that focused mainly on material from the 80’s and 90’s . ALIVE III opens with a bang (literally) to the crunching “Creatures Of The Night” and slows down only briefly along the way for a beautiful version of “Forever”. Performances on songs like “Duece”, “Unholy”, “Detroit Rock City” and “God Gave Rock And Roll To You”, show just how tight and flexible this lineup was both vocally and musically! The album ends with a stellar version of the “Star Spangled Banner”, featuring some tasty guitar work by Mr. Kulick, which should make any American KISS Fan proud!

Alive III was produced by Eddie Kramer and KISS and was recorded in November 1992 during KISS’ REVENGE tour at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan, Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland, Ohio and Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana.
