Love to Hate You

Kiss: The popular song that Gene Simmons hates. It is completely normal for an artist to get tired of playing or even hate some of the songs in their repertoire. The repeated live performances over the years, especially if the song becomes a commercial success, make it so that several musicians cannot even hear some of their own compositions. This same thing happened to Gene Simmons with "I Was Made for Lovin' You".

This was stated by the Kiss bassist in a recent interview he had with Howard Stern, where he clarified that he hates his part in the song since he limits himself to doing choirs. Of the first time he heard it after Paul Stanley showed it to him, he recalled: "Paul came up and said he had a song. I asked him what it was called and he said, 'I Was Made for Lovin You.' I thought it sounded great. ".

Simmons went on to humorously recount the anecdote of his first exposure to the song: "Then I asked him what the first line of the song was, to which Paul said 'Tonight...' and I thought that was fine, so I I asked for the second line. 'I want to give you everything, in the dark,' he told me and I thought it couldn't be better."

The reason for his hate: What seemed to be going smoothly, fell off the cliff once Gene consulted on his part. The bassist remembered asking Stanley what his role was in the composition and the guitarist replied that he would sing what would be the iconic "Do, do, do", which opens the song and is repeated along the tune.

Beyond that, the rock star also said that the song is very important in their career and in their live concerts, which is why he would never stop playing it: "To this day people jump like biblical locusts... and that's why he follows the game", Simmons concluded.
