GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal Reveals His Five Favourite KISS Songs
July 20, 2013, 10 years ago
GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal recently spoke with Music radar and revealed his five favourite KISS songs: 'Ladies In Waiting', 'Lert me Know', '100,000 Years', 'I Want You' and 'Detroit Rock City'. An excerpt from Bumblefoot's breakdown of the songs is available below:
'Detroit Rock City' - "There are many reasons to pick this song, but the biggest one is the solo. It's THE solo – one of the best guitar solos to ever appear in a rock song, ever. I have the demo of 'Detroit...', and it was such a different song originally. Thank God it evolved into what it did. It’s so dramatic, especially the opening. That’s a long intro, but it works – it takes you somewhere.
But again, it’s all about the guitar solo. I learned how to play it as a kid, and I’ll never forget it. That’s the thing about KISS songs: the guitar solos are oftentimes the most memorable parts. You can sing every one of them. They’re songs within songs.”
