"Cold Gin" is a song by the American hard rock group Kiss. The song was written by the band's lead guitarist Ace Frehley and was released in 1974 on the band's eponymous debut album. The song has attained classic Kiss song status, and is featured on many compilations released by the band. Live versions of the song were often extended for about two minutes due to Frehley's soloing. The song is considered one of the greatest drinking songs of all-time. It was listed at No. 10 on the ''AskMen.com'' list of Top 10 drinking songs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.askmen.com/top_10/entertainment_250/254_top_10_list.html )〕 ''Guitar World'' listed "Cold Gin" as the seventh greatest drinking song of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guitarworld.com/top-10-drinking-songs-all-time )〕 Listeners voted "Cold Gin" as No. 2 on the ''Love to Know'' list of "Best Bar Songs".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://best.lovetoknow.com/Best_Bar_Songs )〕 ==Background== The song discusses how cold gin affects the male sex drive. Frehley said he wrote the song while he was in the subway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kissfaq.com/KissFAQ-wiki/index.php?title=Kiss_1973_Demo_-_Cold_Gin )〕 The song was recorded in 1973 and was one of two songs from the band's debut album written by Frehley, the other being the album's instrumental, "Love Theme from KISS", which was written by the whole band. Although "Cold Gin" was never released as a single, it has remained a concert staple during the years. The studio version differs significantly from the demo version. In the demo, after the solo, Paul Stanley shouts "Whoa! Alright! C'mon!", but in the studio version, he shouts "Whoa yeah!". The second guitar solo was also cut and the outro was shortened.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfHuwx76zW0 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kissfaq.com/KissFAQ-wiki/index.php?title=Kiss_Album_-_Cold_Gin )〕 As Frehley was insecure about his singing ability, Gene Simmons sang the song on the original studio version and in most live versions (despite the fact that Simmons is a teetotaler), although during the Alive/Worldwide Tour, Frehley would sing parts of the song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FiUvNvpzYY )〕 Frehley would provide the lead vocals when touring with his solo band. Los Angeles-based Kiss tribute band Cold Gin was named after the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cold Gin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
