Bill

Happy 25th anniversary to the KISS song God Gave Rock n' Roll To You II which is one of the classic KISS songs. Originally a remake of a Russ Ballard song, it was co-written by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Bob Ezrin with Ballard getting a co-writing credit. It originally appeared as a single and the end credits for the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and later on KISS' Revenge album. The song would be the first song recorded by current drummer Eric Singer and the final song to feature second drummer Eric Carr as he sang back up vocals before passing away in November 1991 due to cancer. There's technically two versions of the song with the movie version featuring a bad ass guitar intro from Steve Vai.
