Bob EzrinInspelningsplats/Recording:
Record plant studios, new york city.Kommentar/Comments:
Konceptet för "destroyer" omslaget var på tapeten redan vid tiden för "dressed to kill". Bob Ezrin gillade inte Ace solo i "sweet pain", och lät Dick Wagner spela det i stället. Wagner är således den första kända spökgitarristen på ett kiss album. Nyhetsuppläsaren i början av "detroit rock city" är ingen annan än Gene Simmons. Innan Paul skrev om "god of thunder" till att passa Gene innehöll den textrader i stil med "we make love 'til we bleed". "Beth" kallades från början "Beck". Originalversionen av "great expectations" innehöll alla fyra medlemmarnas namn. Barnen man hör i början av "god of thunder" är ingen mindre än Bob Ezrins son och hans kompis. Enligt Paul Stanley så är "detroit rock city" nästan ett plagiat av en gammal låt från gitarristen Paul Butterfield.
In first 3 pressings, inner sleev is in thin cardboard, black, with the kiss army logo on one side and the words detroit rock city on the other. The 1st pressing inner sleev opens at the side, and later pressing inner sleevs open at the top. The 4th pressing had a plain white sleeve. Also, the printing on the promotional label is different from the printing on the regular, non promo, 1st pressing label. Also, on the first 2 pressing of the LP, after do you love me, there is a short, distorted recording og Paul (from alive) saying, we´re gonna have ourselves........a rock and roll party. It repeats several times, echoing and fading. Interestingly enough, although polygram did not put this on their later pressings of the LP, they did put it on the CD version of destroyer.
