With Dave 'The Snake' Sabo of Skid Row, Stanley wrote 'Do Ya Wanna Touch Me Now', which ultimately failed to make the tracklist.

As far as I was concerned, he was persona non grata forever.' He reneged on a signed deal we had made and decided that he wanted to renegotiate. But before the album was released, Vinnie was up to his old tricks again. I called Paul and told him that Vinnie had apparently changed.

He wanted to patch things up and wondered if I would consider writing some songs with him. According to Simmons, 'Vinnie Vincent came up to me and apologized for causing the band all the grief while he was a member.

In a surprising move, they sought help from former guitarist Vinnie Vincent. In December 1991, Kiss and Ezrin returned to the studio to work on a new album. Kiss officially hired Singer to replace Carr. Kiss's plan was for Singer to play with the band until Carr was healthy enough to return, but Carr's health continued to decline and he died in November 1991. After the shoot, Stanley and Simmons persuaded Carr to take care of his health and not worry about the band. According to Simmons, Carr had lost all his hair due to chemotherapy and had to wear a wig for the shoot. Shortly after the surgery, he joined the band to perform in the ' God Gave Rock 'n' Roll' music video. Emboldened, the band continue with Ezrin on a follow-up to Hot in the Shade.Ĭarr was diagnosed with heart cancer and underwent open-heart surgery in April 1991 to remove tumors. The song was featured in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey with a 40-second Steve Vai solo instead of the Kiss intro found on the album and was a major success, hitting the Top 30 in seven countries, including the Mainstream Rock Tracks in the United States. But Simmons, Ezrin and Paul Stanley rewrote the song, which they recorded at Ocean Way Recording, The Enterprise and A&M Studios in California, with both Eric Carr and Eric Singer: Singer played the drums while Carr, who was unable to play for his health problems, sang the a cappella line '.to everyone, He gave His song to be sung.' Gene Simmons was not sure it was the right move, 'especially after the bad experience of The Elder'. The band agreed and reunited with producer Bob Ezrin, ten years after the debacle of Music From 'The Elder'. In February 1991, Kiss was asked by the producers of the film Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey to record 'God Gave Rock 'n Roll to You II' (a remake of the song ' God Gave Rock and Roll to You' by the English rock band Argent). The main riff of the song was used as the basis for Frehley's Comet song 'Breakout', from the 1987 album Frehley's Comet. One modification to the song was the dubbing of Bruce Kulick's guitar over Ace Frehley's original work.

The album was dedicated to Carr, and the closing track, 'Carr Jam 1981,' is a demo the drummer had recorded soon after joining the group in 1980. Marking a stylistic departure from the pop-influenced glam metal which characterized much of the band's 1980s output for a heavier sound, the album reached the Top 20 in several countries, though it failed to reestablish the group back in the mainstream and its sales were equal-to or less than its predecessors, ultimately only being certified gold by the RIAA on July 20, 1992. It is the band's first album to feature current drummer Eric Singer, following the death of former drummer Eric Carr in November 1991 and is the group's last album to feature musical contributions from the latter. Revenge is the sixteenth studio album by American rock band Kiss, released on May 19, 1992.
