My Faves on this one are. Good Times and Blue Moon Over Brooklyn..

I have always thought this album along with the band CRISS was all done to show Gene and Paul that Pete was still around, a kind of back door way to get back in KISS. I did see Criss live in 1992 though and I have to tell you it was great, Peter Criss from the front row (right up against the little stage) in a mid sized bar.. It kicked ass!!


I have also seen Dio, King's X, and WASP in this same bar.. For a small place it is a great place for shows!! In Fort Wayne Indiana

It's ok if you don't like it. That just means you are not a blind fan.

Hi GaCatmandu, you have been on a Criss Show in '92???

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have two video tapes of that era, the 92 New York Ritz-Show, "I got this fucking acoustic guitars"...
And I think Vegas or something in 93, off course not the best quality, but anyway great!!!

For me is Cat 1 the most less favourite album, Best Song Good Times, written about the divorce and separating from Debbie.
Down with the Sun is a good one too, Blue Moon got a good start & some good moments too,
until Ace ruined that with his awfull solo, just my opinion you know, I know you will see that different.

But I have to say that I like "The Cat" from the 93 EP very much, especially the end of this song, ha,ha.....

It's a shame that he didn't took it for the Cat 1 CD too, I guess that maybe he lost his courage a little bit ( against G & P).

Bad Attitude and Walk the Line are not bad, but a little to slow,
im sure they will rock and funk more with a faster tempo...

And We Want You is for me the worst Song on a Peter Criss Record ever, but fortunatly he didn't sang it, ha, ha.

You guys know that his Co-Lead Singer back then, Mike Stone, is playing with Queensryche since a couple of years?
As a guitar player.

LONG LIVE GEORGE CRISCUOLA !!!

[forpetessake]

I like Down With The Sun.

[Nately120]

+ ACE!!!
+ Ballads about loss in Good Times and Blue Moon Over Brooklyn
+ Ticket To Ride reference at end of BMOB
+ Down With The Sun harmony vocals
+ Acoustic Guitars on Beth

- MIKE STONE........ARGH!!! I HAAAAAAATE this guy's vocals. He barfs out vocals and gives this album the generic grunge wannabe vibe this album has.
- Peter's entrance on Beth is a bit off, isn't it?

That's all I can think of right now. My least favorite Peter solo album, but I like it mostly.

Nice post!

"Good Times" is a great tune! I like the songs on it that Pete sings best. The production on this LP is what makes it great. Overall song-for-song I think Peter's two solo albums after leaving KISS are better. Both of those are great but are too slickly produced and could've been ever better if they had a rougher-edged production. JMO.

[babydriver]

I agree with you Nately 120 - except the Ace-Guitar,
for me he ruined the Blue moon over brooklyn Song,
yes Beth it's not his best version and the singing of Stone...
I start to think about your lines, wannabe grunge... yes I think I know what you mean...

It's a pitty, that Tracks like Bad Attitude and Walk the Line are a little to slow,
they could be more rocky-funky, allways think about Kravitz, how he would perform this two tracks,
remember Deuce of Lenny?

And... it's crazy, but I like the production of Peter himself on One For All much more than the well-known Dito Godwin and his production with Cat 1, could be better, especially the Best Song, Good Times,
less Guitar- less drums - and much more and louder the great piano for example,
and Peters and the guys backings at the end too, could be really smoother and better!

Good points, Babydriver!!!
