#GOD GAVE ROCK AND ROLL TO YOU MOVIE MOVIE#

I love collecting the singles when I can find them and to get a picture disc is quite Righteous…wait, I think that is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not Bill & Ted. The band still plays it today, but usually at the end of the show as the crowd is leaving…so not a live performance, but still at least they play it even if it is the recorded version some times.Īnd that is the 12″ Picture Disc. There is a point where Paul speaks and preaches his rock & roll faith. It has more of nostalgic feel to it thus the Kiss version of the video has old clips of the band to give a shout out to the band’s history. It isn’t as heavy and bombastic as “Shout it Out Loud” or “Rock And Roll All Nite”, but it has it heavier moments. That is 10 years and way too long of a gap. The song “God Gave Rock And Roll To You II” is the first time since the song “I” from Music From the Elder that both Gene and Paul actually shared lead vocals.

It is just as stupid as the movie and yet most excellent dudes!! Basically it tells you what each of the stupid Bill & Ted quotes in the movie mean. What is also cool is the insert has “A Non-Bogus Guide To A Whole New Language”. That alone is worth getting this release. If anything positive came from Eric Carrs. I do love the picture of Bill & Ted with Death on the A-Side. It started with God Gave Rock & Roll to You II, a re-imagining of an old Argent song for the Bill & Ted movie. The picture disc of this release is really awesome. He later died on Novemwhich was sadly, the same day Freddie Mercury of Queen had died and that overshadowed his death. Shortly thereafter, Carr suffered an aneurysm then a brain hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. Eric Carr made his last public appearance with the band shortly after the video at the MTV Musis Awards in September 1991. He had become so ill, he was no longer able to play, so the drum work on the song was handled by Eric Singer, who also did the drum work on the band’s next album, ‘Revenge’. Eric was extremely ill as he had been diagnosed with heart cancer. And luckily he was healthy enough to be in the video. Eric wasn’t healthy enough to do the drums at the time, but he is featured in the background vocals. What was special about this song and release is that is the last Kiss single to feature Eric Carr.
