But by then, The Zombies had gone their separate ways, although they were to re-form many decades later. The song, which also appeared on the legendary sampler, The Rock Machine Turns You On, sold over two million copies and re-ignited their reputation. Despite playing to ecstatic US audiences, subsequent singles fared less well and their album, Odyssey & Oracle, though hailed now as a classic of the hippy era, failed to make much impact, although Blood Sweat And Tears organist Al Kooper was so impressed he pushed for the release of the track Time Of The Season as a single. It is sometimes forgotten now, but 46 years ago The Zombies and their debut smash, She’s Not There, were right up there with The Beatles and The Stones as part of the British Invasion which took the USA by storm. But some truly fabulous sounds have emerged from the town in the shape of The Zombies and Argent, who were both led by keyboard virtuoso Rod Argent. Albans in Hertfordshire, just 20 miles north of London, may be one of Great Britain’s most renowned Roman towns, but it does not exactly register on the rock’n’roll Richter scale.
Phil from Niagara Falls, Canadahmm, this song dissapointed me because i didnt find it to be KISS' style.St. Adam from Manchester, Englandthis is a total kick-ass song by a kick-ass group!!. Tj from Woodbridge, Vai think this song is about how people should "ROCK AND ROLL" and how classic rock will NEVER die. Linus from Hamilton, On, CanadaArgent version is better. Luke from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Englandgreatest song ever. Luke from Manchester, EnglandThis intro sounds like the intro to Red Dwarf. Bill and Ted's band play it to win the battle of the bands. Sigmoid from Vancouver, CanadaThis song was featured at the end of the film "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" from 1991. Dave from Washington, DcThis song was also redone by Petra in 1977 as the first track on their 2nd recording. Connor from Buckie, Mathis is an ace song from a great band which i agree with tj that u should rock n roll all night and pary all day. This was before the reunion and old Kiss footage wasn't easily accessable. Jeff from Austin, TxI never liked this song much at all, but we would always freak out when the video was on because it showed old school Kiss footage. this is a testament to a great musician and former member of KISS. Luke from Manchester, EnglandKISS > Argent.Īrgent are too happy clappy religious, lyrically. To Phil form Niagara, WTF IS KISS's 'style'? They have consistently proven them selves over the decades, to be, at times, as ECLECTIC as other bands sometimes are! KISS did it and made it THEIR own! They still do it live & it goes OFF! Kudos to Bob Ezrin for his interpretation on this Argent classic. Axeman from Melbourne, AustraliaIt just SHOWS to all, WHAT KISS, as musicians are REALLY capable of when they put their minds to it!. Gene from New York City, NyThat's wrong! Gene and Paul shared lead vocals on "I" off Music from The Elder in 1980. Gene from New York City, Nywrong, gene and Paul shared lead vocals on "I" off Music from the elder in 1980 as well. Talented keyboardist/composer and Argent mastermind Rod Argent was a former member of The Zombies. Gregg from Raceland, KyAccording to magazine interviews, Paul says that KISS met the band Argent in 1974 when they began opening for them. They recorded it twice, first in 1977, then again in 1984. Don from Sevierville, TnThe Christian rock group, Petra, also covered this song, but with different words. He was too weak from chemo to play, so Eric Singer filled in. Jh from TorontoJust to clarify, Eric Carr appeared on the recording, but as a back-up vocalist, not a drummer. Eric Carr did appear on the drums and did the drumming for the video and the recording. 
Danny Painter from Elkland, PaThis is for JH from Tronto.
Both "I" and, to a lesser extent, "Only You," on "Music From The Elder" in 1981, features both singing lead parts.Įric Carr was hired right around his birthday in July of 1980, before the Unmasked tour started, not 1982. Keith from MassachusettsA few notes on the above article, some of which people have already touched on.Įric Carr did play in the video for the song and sang backup vocals, but the actual audio recording of the drums was indeed done by Eric Singer.Īs mentioned, this is NOT the first song since "Shout It Out Loud" with Paul and Gene sharing lead vocals.
