	The KISS FAQ - The KISS Album Focus: Out Of The “Asylum” © Julian Gill
		By mid-1985 the album was nowhere near “Gold” certification, in terms of sales in the United States, and was only slightly ahead of the “Elder.” The reissue artwork would mean that of the three issues of the album (1982, 1985, and 1998) the real guitarist on the album is never featured on the cover.
		This is probably one of the high points of the album in the presentation of power and ferocity which came closest to recapturing the “Creatures” sound while maintaining a balance with the rest of the music.
		Interestingly, also featured on the Wendy’s “Kommander of Kaos” album is a live recording of “Ain’t None Of Your Business,” the song that had been written by Eric Carr, Vinnie, and Gene for her first album.
