當KISS第一次走進我的錄音室時，我感到震驚。成年人打扮成這樣在做什麼？我很快就發現了。他們幾乎有一種不可思議的能力，能夠互動和即興發揮，而不會靈感枯竭。
這讓我想起了歌舞伎劇場，所以我決定以日本主題來藝術指導他們的《Hotter than Hell》專輯。
這對他們在日本的人氣起了開創性的作用。-- Norman Seeff
The intro about Seeff being baffled by grown men in makeup really sets the stage, and the photos that follow capture that raw improvisational energy between the band members perfectly. I've flipped through it twice already and keep noticing new details in their interactions.
The way Seeff captures the band mid-improv really comes through in the prints—you can almost hear them riffing off each other. It’s fascinating to see how their theatricality translates into these raw, unposed moments.
Those behind-the-scenes stories Seeff tells in the captions are half the fun, and the way he captures them mid-improv is wild. The book’s layout lets the raw energy of the shoot come through page after page, and you can almost hear the chaos. It’s a fantastic piece of music history.
