Paul's Balls-in-the-Zipper Voice Pt. 3 of 10

Even if Heaven's on Fire's yodel intro was, as we know, only a small vocal exercise before the actual recordings, it does a wonderful job of getting you in the mood for what's to come.

I am of course talking about Paul's squeaky loudmouth voice, which in his defense could be considered essential in the hard rock and metal scene in the 80s, and therefore not fundamentally bad, but just the norm of the time. And with Paul Stanley, Kiss did much better, sonically speaking, to have him in the band than, for example, Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil, whose peak performance consists more or less of creating the timbre of a laughing bag caught in the constant spin cycle of a broken washing machine. Just to establish a relation.

In fact, I see Animalize as an important stage, or even a milestone, in Paul's ongoing climb to establish the retread of his own vocal identity. And we mustn't forget that he was working on several fronts at that time.

Heaven's on Fire represents a kind of middle ground in this case, and keeps the high-pitched revelations of the new Paul relatively in check, but when it does, it does so all the more, while at the same time keeping his old, classic 70's voice under control better than ever. But the pressure with which Paul virtually squeezes out the bridges, no matter how uncomplex the musical material, is unparalleled, and despite all my mockery, he must be given credit to a not too small extent. This key naturally continues unperturbed in the refrain, where it is supported by a multitude of other vocal registers to form a simple and dynamically harmonious sound of a perfectly saturated rainbow. It's simply everything you could wish for and borders on perfection. Possibly Kiss' best chorus, or probably their best produced chorus of the 80s. Live they never even came close to the studio version.

But you Can’t Always Get What You Want (1)

Side Note:

(1) That fits perfectly, because the upcoming episode of Paul's Balls-in-the-Zipper Voice will be all about Get All You Can Take.

Ear Worm of the Day

//Once again, stealing this idea from @theviktornikiforov-rp because some songs won’t leave me alone.

Today, I have Heaven’s on Fire by Kiss. So infectious. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it all week.//

Roach got a new gun.

It was originally a rivet gun meant for the outer-hull of space-stations.

We went to a fancy dress party.

Heaven’s On Fire is the Lancer / ICON guy right? Is the game a barebones hack or is it doing some interesting cyberpunk stuff with the engine.

He's mostly the KSBD guy in my head, but yes I believe so.

It's not a barebones hack, there's a lot of bespoke stuff done there and even the playbooks that are clear 1:1 mirrors of a Blades archetype have some fun work done on them. But like, it's still fundamentally 'blades but in an cyberpunk orbital habitat megacity'
