    For me, this is the BEST KISS album ever made! The opening track "I Stole Your Love" is pure Rock n roll. Christine Sixtine is the most catchy song I've ever heard, and of course, "Love Gun" the song is a classic! I would recommend this album to every hard rock fan.

About

Love Gun is the sixth studio album by American hard rock band Kiss. Love Gun is notable for being the first Kiss album to feature a lead vocal performance from Ace Frehley. This marks the first album for the group to feature lead vocal performances from all four band members. It was also the last studio album to feature the entire original lineup of Kiss on every track, as drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session drummer Anton Fig for most of 1979's Dynasty. A cardboard "Love Gun" (assembly required) was included inside the album, along with a Kiss merchandise order form. Before Love Gun was completed, a Gallup poll indicated that Kiss was the most popular band in the US, beating Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. On August 25–26, 1977, Kiss recorded two shows at the LA Forum to be used as live material for their next release Alive II. The album cover was painted by fantasy artist Ken Kelly, who previously did the cover for 1976's Destroyer.
