If Pearl Jam was to cover KISS.

Been down a KISS rabbit hole lately. First time I really tried to listen to them. Turned into a great fan of Ace Frehley as a person and the soap opera that has been Kiss since the 70s. 

Also, I've realised that Pearl Jams Black Diamond cover doesn't top the original with Peter Criss singing. And with few exceptions I usually favour Pearl jams covers over the originals.

Anyways, if Pearl Jam would do a Kiss cover and it's not Black Diamond - which song should they do?

I'm thinking Ace Frehleys Into the Void:

  • I'd run to the bathroom.
  • "Lick it up"? "Put the X in Sex"?

    I'd go with "Detroit Rock City", but I like the Bosstone version.
    "Beth" would be too easy
    "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night" seems too easy too.

    How's about "Love Gun"?
    Nah..."Detroit Rock City"

    Beth must be the most boring song ever written.

    Pearl jam should cover KISS ---- with concrete,can't stand them
  • I was made for lovin you.

    Also EV should dye his hair really black on the nights he sings it.  

    On the other hand how about no, no covers of KISS, it is not them.
