Hear Kiss’ ‘Turn On the Night’ Without the Bon Jovi Keyboards

Ever
wondered
how

Kiss‘
1987
album


Crazy
Nights
would
sound
without
all
those
hair
metal
keyboards?

The

FranKENstein
Creations
YouTube
page
helps
answer
that
question
with
a
keyboard-free
fan
remix
of
the
band’s
1988
single “Turn
on
the
Night.”

You
can
hear
the
results
below.

FranKENstein,
who
delivered
a
full-album
remix
of
the
band’s
1974
album


Hotter
Than
Hell
last
month,
opted
for
a
less
conventional
project
this
time
out. “I
decided
to
have
a
little
fun
and
rather
than
do
a
straight
remix,
play
around
with
the
arrangement
a
bit,”
the
post
explains
before
running
through
a
laundry
list
of
tweaks,
re-arrangements
and
samples
used
on
the
remix.

Became
a
Forgotten
Feel-Good
Anthem

“I
also
left
keyboards
out
completely,”
the
notes
conclude. “I
didn’t
feel
like
they
were
really
necessary
and
only
made
the
main
riff
sound
even
more
like
[Bon
Jovi‘s
1984
single] ‘She
Don’t
Know
Me’
than
it
already
does.”

Longtime
Kiss
guitarist

Bruce
Kulick,
who
played
on
the

Crazy
Nights
album,
shared
the
video

on
his
social
media
accounts,
noting
that “today’s
technology
in
audio
mixing
can
be
very
creative.”

It
sounds
like
Kiss
frontman

Paul
Stanley
wouldn’t
mind
having
a
second
shot
at
mixing
the

Crazy
Nights
album
himself. “I
think
it’s
a
better
album
than
it
wound
up
sounding,”
he
explained
in
the
2003
book

Kiss:
Behind
the
Mask. “I
think
it’s
a
bit
plastic-sounding.
The
material,
and
what
it
could
have
been,
was
better
than
what
it
turned
out
to
be.”
