Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
September 18, 1983 is a day that will go down in Kisstory. It was then that Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and replacement members Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr took off their signature makeup and revealed themselves on MTV. LICK IT UP was released, and a new chapter unfolded.
Using the same production team as CREATURES OF THE NIGHT, Michael James Jackson, Simmons and Stanley came up with the same bone crunching sound as CREATURES, but with a slightly more polished feel. "Exciter" kicks off the album with a machine gun riff, which leads into Gene Simmons proclaiming he's "Not For The Innocent". The title track was a modest hit in the U.S., faired better in the U.K. and made for quite an entertaining video. "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" is a gritty streetwise track where Paul Stanley actually raps! "And On The 8th Day" is a powerful anthem that closes an exciting album.
With Vinnie Vincent's expert guitar playing and songwriting abilities (he co-wrote 8 out of the 10 tracks) and Eric Carr's powerful backbeat, LICK IT UP proves that behind all the explosions and firebreathing, the band can deliver the goods musically.
Recorded at Right Track Studio and The Record Plant, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte.
Producers: Gene Simmons, Michael James Jackson, Paul Stanley.
Kiss: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Carr, Vinnie Vincent.
Engineers: Frank Filipetti, Rob Freeman.
Lick It Up Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews great because of vinnie
when kiss was struggling to get back on top they needed help. vinnie wrote 90% of this album and when it sold millions he asked for more money and they dropped him, he deserved it. gene and paul are just greedy. they haven't done anything nearly as good as this since, oh ya a couple good tunes on revenge. who helped them out with this, vinnie. his best quality is that he can write good music, sure he is a good guitar player but it doesn't compare to his songwriting capabilities. shame on you gene and paul.

One of the best KISS CD's of the '80s period
Any true KISS fan should own this. The best songs on the CD include exciter, lick it up, young and wasted, all hell's breakin' loose, and a million to one.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No BEST KISS NON-MAKEUP ALBUM
This is easily the best album Kiss made after they took off the makeup. Not one bad song- Gene's songs are particularly strong (Not For The Innocent, Young and Wasted, etc). This along with Creatures of the Night and Revenge is their heaviest album, but with better songs. The performances are strong throughout. "A Million to One" is one of Paul's stronger ballads. It's too bad things didn't work out with Vinnie Vincent, because they never made an album this good after his departure.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No vinnie vincent album
this album just rocks. not for the innocent is one of the best kiss songs. vinnie was way too talented for this band, he wrote 90% of the album. it sold millions and he asked for some cash and gene and paul those greedy jews said se ya. if it wasn't for that than we wouldn't maybe have hear vinnie on his own, that would have been a bummer. good job vinnie

Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
Reaching a pop apex not seen since 1980's UNMASKED, Kiss enlisted the production and engineering talents of Ron Nevison (Ozzy Osbourne, Heart) to help the band compete with the light metal faire that existed in 1987. The results are impressive, as the melodic crunch of CRAZY NIGHTS holds up to the band's previous classics.
"Crazy Crazy Nights" is an anthemic single that reached U.K. #4 and was their biggest single there. "Reason To Live" is one of Kiss' ...

Taking a dip in sales with their previous effort UNMASKED, Kiss decided to deliver a more hard-driving rock album and enlisted the aid of Bob Ezrin, the man who produced DESTROYER (their most successful studio album). Upon his hiring, Ezrin discarded the heavy rock demos Kiss had recorded and suggested the band experiment with a concept album, a Kissified version of THE WALL.
Disgruntled at the band's new direction, Ace Frehley only contributed one track, "Dark Light" (featuring a blistering solo), and aside from basic tracks, the rest of the record ...

STEPPIN' OUT was singer Diana Krall's first released session, recorded in 1992. Jazz singing aside, what most attracts listeners at first are Krall's prodigious piano chops. A former student of legendary pianist Jimmy Rowles, Krall is eager to show her stuff here, making this release as much an instrumentalist's debut as a vocalist's. Unlike just about every other new pianist, Krall doesn't go in for the murky chromatic maelstroms that currently pass for improvisation. She's ...
