Gene Simmons has revealed that he hates performing KISS' classic song "I Was Made For Lovin' You."
During an interview with OK! Magazine, Simmons was asked to "Name a KISS song that you weren't crazy about but ended up becoming a hit." The co-founding bassist/singer of the band said it is "I Was Made For Lovin' You."
"Well, Paul Stanley comes in and he says, 'Did you write any songs?' I go, 'Oh, yeah. I've got one called 'Almost Human.' 'Yeah? How does it go?' 'I'm almost human. I can't help feelin' strange,'" Simmons answers.
"'Yeah, that's cool. That's a Gene song.' 'How about you, Paul?' He goes, 'I've got one. [Stanley sings] 'Tonight.'' "Ooooh. That's cool. What's the next line?' 'I'm gonna give it all to you.' 'Oh, yeah. I know what 'it' means - I know exactly what you mean.' 'In the darkness.' 'Love that!' 'There something I wanna do.' 'Yeah, I know what that 'something' is. Wow! That's a cool song. Okay, what's my part?' [sings] 'Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.' 'You're killing me. Really? I'm gonna sing like my grandmother?'"
"I hate playing that song to [this] day. Stadiums full of people jump up and down like biblical locusts - they go nuts - with tattoos and grilles on...'Ahhhh!' They're all jumping up and down, and I'm going, 'Do, do, do, do, do, do… Kill me now.' Still - still to this day I hate that song."
"I Was Made For Lovin' You" appeared on Kiss' 1979 album Dynasty. It was the band's second gold single, selling over 1 million copies. The single reached No. 11 on the U.S. Billboard singles chart.
