== Ingurukoa ==
'''Gene Simmons''': "Goin' Blind" dates back to 1970. At that point I was listening a lot to Cream and Mountain. "Goin' Blind" happens to be one of my favorite songs. Even something about the recording of it seemed to work for me, the compression on the drums.This surprisingly moody slab of heavy rock provided Hotter Than Hell with one of its most enduring high points. "Goin' Blind" is a reworked version of a pre-Kiss song originally entitled "Little Lady" whose lyrics deal with the doomed relationship between an old man and a very young girl: "And I know how it should be/There is nothing more for you and I/Some are young and some are free/But I think I'm goin' blind." Although these lyrics later work in a goofy punch line of "I'm 93, you're 16," the overall feel is one of doomed romanticism. The music matches the emotional heaviness of the lyrics with an intense melody built on yearning, minor-key verses and a cathartic chorus whose ornate twists give it an almost Japanese feel. Kiss' recording of "Goin' Blind" is mournful yet heavy: Gene Simmons unleashes the lyrics with an anguished howl over a sludgy backing driven by guitar riffs heavy enough for a Black Sabbath record and half-speed drumming. Ace Frehley tops the song off with one of his finest guitar solos, a searing blast of quicksilver riffing that perfectly capture the song's pained mood in instrumental form. "Goin' Blind" was never issued as a single but quickly became a favorite with Kiss fans and has been faithfully covered by such bands as Dramarama and Dinosaur Jr.▼
