Not unlike an ancient nation’s Voodoo Priests, immersed in rituals, bootleg beer and fetish markets selling monkey heads… Welcome to the Voodoo Kingdom ! Snake-filled temples, anyone?

A happy birthday to :
Paul Stanley, guitar, vocals, Kiss, who had 1976 US #11 album 'Rock and Roll Over' which spent 26 weeks on the chart. Plus the 1987 UK #4 single 'Crazy Crazy Nights'. Kiss have been awarded 24 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band - selling more than 40 million albums.
KISS - God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You II
From the album : Revenge (1991)
"God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. Kiss first released it as a single in 1991, lifted off the soundtrack to the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and was later included on Kiss' 1992 album Revenge. The song was a reworking of the Argent 1973 song "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" and is credited as being written by Russ Ballard, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Bob Ezrin. The Christian rock band Petra first released a cover version of the song in their 1977 album Come and Join Us and re-released a somewhat updated version in their 1984 album Beat the System which sounds much more like the version from the film.
It was the last Kiss song to feature longtime drummer Eric Carr before his death in 1991. Although he was too ill to play drums on the track, he is featured on backing vocals during the a cappella break, singing the repeated line "...to everyone, he gave his song to be sung", as well as performing drums during the video for the song.
The single was also the first to feature Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley sharing lead vocals since "I" from 1981's Music from "The Elder".
The video was filmed in Los Angeles, California in July 1991 and was directed by Mark Rezyka. It features the band playing in a room with flashbacks of Simmons and Stanley during the make-up era of Kiss's heyday. There were no prominent clips of Carr during the make-up years featured in the video, even though he was a part of that era for three-and-a-half-years. During the Kissology Volume Two: 1978-1991 special aired on VH1 classic, Gene Simmons has stated that,"It's not just a cover song for a soundtrack, but a testament to Eric Carr, and I think a lot of people don't realize that."
