November 15, 2023, a year ago
"November 15th, is the 35th Anniversary of the KISS LP release, Smashes, Thrashes & Hits," states former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.
"It featured two new songs, 'Let's Put The X In Sex' as well as '(You Make Me) Rock Hard'. Eric Carr also sang lead vocals on the KISS hit 'Beth'. The rest of the album was older songs, and many of them remixed quite heavily. Two videos were created for the new songs, and in this celebration video, I discuss some of my recollections of this 1988 KISS product. Turn it up!"
