An excellent Tribute Album! Starts off w/ a great rendition of Deuce by none other than Lenny Kravitz/Stevie Wonder. Stevie does excellent job on the harmonica and fits well surprisingly. Long time KISS fan Garth Brooks does an awesome version of Hard Luck Woman w/a close likeness to Peter Criss's original version. Anthrax of course shreads on She great guitar work by Scott Ian. The Gin Blossoms do an great version of Christine Sixteen and that wraps up Side:1. Side:2 is just as effective starting out w/Dinosaur Jr's version of Goin' Blind,then a great bluesy version of Strutter by Extreme, followed by The Lemonheads version of Plaster Caster and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones version of Detroit Rock City is one of the best complete w/dual saxaphones doing the "guitar solo". But to me the best tribute is Yoshiki's classical arrangement of Black Diamond, he adds depth to a great song and does the song absolute justice without diluting it. One of the BEST TRIBUTE ALBUMS EVER!

Not the biggest fan of Kiss here, but really like most of their music, just not heavy rotation on player. But when I saw the band on it, Dinosaur Jr. I had to find it, and I found it on Amazon, a great source of finding out of print things. I like country music, too, so it is a pleasure to say Garth Brooks version of "Hard Luck Woman" steals the focus off many of them. Very nice. This is one of my favorite Kiss songs, I think Peter Criss sang it, but not totally sure.

The album has it's delightfully strange moments, as well. If you like Kiss, there is NO chance you could dismiss this tribute as a folly.
