Episode 400- Kiss-Crazy Nights with Guest Jeff Beers

This Week on America's Podcast, Free Form Rock Nation!! Jeff Beers Joins Us for controversial album among Kiss Fans.. 
Kiss' Crazy Nights is an album that has divided the band's fanbase since it was released in 1987. With its heavy use of synthesizers, pop-influenced hooks, and glossy production, some fans considered it a departure from the band's trademark hard rock sound. Others, however, were drawn to the album's upbeat energy and catchy melodies.
 
The album's opening track, "Crazy Crazy Nights," is a prime example of the pop-rock sound that dominates the album. Its infectious chorus and driving beat make it a fan favorite and a frequent concert staple. Other tracks, like "I'll Fight Hell to Hold You" and "Bang Bang You," follow a similar formula, relying on catchy choruses and shiny production to propel them forward.
 
For fans who prefer Kiss' heavier sound, Crazy Nights may feel like a betrayal. Some of the album's tracks, like "No, No, No" and "Hell or Hallelujah," offer glimpses of the band's classic style, but they are few and far between. Instead, the album leans heavily on keyboards and synth-driven arrangements, creating a sound that feels more at home on the pop charts than in the metal underground.
 
Despite these criticisms, however, Crazy Nights has its moments of charm. Songs like the ballad "Reason to Live" showcase a softer, more emotional side of the band, while the album's closing track, "Good Girl Gone Bad," features a bluesy guitar solo that harks back to Kiss' roots.
 
In the end, Crazy Nights is a polarizing album that will likely leave some fans divided. Those who embrace it for its pop textures and upbeat energy will find much to enjoy, while those who prefer Kiss' harder sound may feel left out in the cold. However, as with all things Kiss, there is no denying its enduring legacy and enduring appeal to both die-hard fans and casual listeners alike. Tracks of the Week Jeff, "Tom Sawyer' by Sabastian Bach. Charles, "Working Man" by Rush. Jerry, Comin 'Under Fire' by Def Leppard then we end with "Breakout" by Bon Jovi.. Until Next Week don't forget the mass amounts of Hairspray make sure and check if the bong is loaded!! Oh don't forget to leave us a 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts, Podchasser or follow us on Podbean!!
