Tiffani Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 How different would AFD have been if Paul Stanley had produced it? Sometimes I wonder what the album would have sounded like if Stanley had been at the wheel in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It would be an album we could do a mincing dance to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't thinking along those lines but perhaps he may have tried to steer it towards a more pop, radio friendly direction...being Paul Stanley and all.

Gackt Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hot in the Shade had fantastic production, can't imagine there'd be any major differences between Stanley and Clink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'm a huge KISS fan but that would have been terrible. As mentioned, he wanted to rewrite Jungle to make it have an anthemic, sing-a-long chorus (like a KISS song). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchy choruses and hooks, one of the highest charttopping albums of its day, any poppier would just mean like, i dunno, making em play like a New Wave band or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofnazareth Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If Paul Stanley produced it, we would have some inane chatter as intros to songs. I was talking to somebody backstage before, and he said there's a lot of you people that like to drink vodka and orange juice. 'I know it's hot. I know everybody's got ROCK AND ROLL PNEUMONIA!!!' Now, CA-MOUN . . . I KNOW you can do better'nat . . . so we gonna try it again .. and I want y'all to catch your breath . . . 'cause here it COMES . . . I SAID ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word greatest is always going to be an opinion piece. He may think Appetite is and you may feel Are You Experienced is. There is no right answer. Now, if we're talking influential, you would definitely have a solid, inarguable point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Webb wilder sells a hundred records versus the Rolling Stones selling millions, idk that might be telling as to which band would be a bigger draw and what a majority feel are better quality.
