A couple weeks ago I got this gem.. Never heard it before, not on the box set.. NOWHERE.. It is the demo version of Detroit Rock City by KISS.. Or more to the point, it's the demo version that Paul Stanley put together for the Destroyer album, where he did the vocals on all the songs on that demo which included God of Thunder.. This really shows how much Bob Ezrin's influence on the album was fairly strong, both this and God of Thunder which changed tempo and feel when Gene was tabbed to be the lead vocalist.. The demo that this came from is the first picture of the band, the name of it.. Of course it is yet another fan set, built by the fans for fans.. .. The pictures I put together for this was more of the early pictures of the band before they broke big, the struggle seems to show in those pictures.. More my favorite time with KISS was just before they concurred the world with Alive! and the next three studio albums where they could do no wrong.. And then... The wheels fell off.. But for a five year period, they were a band of heroes..
