KISS' version appears in a 2022 TV commercial for Applebee's. Reception Ĭash Box said that "the undulating beat and anthem-like quality of the chorus add up to a satanic hit" and that it opens with "pounding drums and a ferocious guitar roar." Some of the road crew used their jacket zippers to create sound. For the choruses, the band and Bogart brought in a large group of outside contributors to sing and clap, including members of the Kiss road crew, studio musicians, and Peter Criss's wife Lydia. The song was one of two the group recorded toward the end of the Hotter than Hell Tour prior to returning to Electric Lady Studios for the proper Dressed to Kill recording sessions. They wrote the pre-chorus, Stanley wrote the chorus, and Simmons wrote the verses, borrowing parts of a song he had previously written, entitled "Drive Me Wild". The song itself was inspired by the Slade song " Cum On Feel the Noize".

One of Bogart's instructions to the band was to compose an anthem, something he felt the band needed. The tour ended early (February 1975), when Casablanca Records founder and president Neil Bogart ordered Kiss to return to the studio to record a follow up to Hotter Than Hell, which had stalled on the charts and failed to meet Casablanca's sales expectations. However, during the group's concert at Cobo Hall in Detroit on January 26, 1976, Stanley introduced it as a song that was written in and for Detroit.

"Rock and Roll All Nite" was written by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons while Kiss was still in Los Angeles, as part of their Hotter than Hell Tour. In 2008, it was named the 16th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. "Rock and Roll All Nite" became Kiss's signature song and has served as the group's closing concert number in almost every concert since 1976. 12 in early 1976, the first of six Top 20 songs for Kiss in the 1970s. A subsequent live version, released as a single in October 1975, eventually reached No. 69 on the Billboard singles chart, besting the band's previous charting single, "Kissin' Time" (#89). The studio version of the song peaked at No. It was released as the A-side of their fifth single, with the album track "Getaway". " Rock and Roll All Nite" is a song by American rock band Kiss, originally released on their 1975 album Dressed to Kill.
