"Cold Gin" is a song by American rock band Kiss, written by the band's lead guitarist Ace Frehley and released in 1974 on their eponymous debut album. The song has appeared on many Kiss live and compilation albums. Live versions of the song were often extended for about two minutes due to Frehley's soloing.

Guitar World listed "Cold Gin" as No. 7 on their list of greatest drinking songs.[2] The track is No. 14 on Liquor.com's list of top 15 drinking songs[3] and ranked No. 32 of the 50 best drinking songs on TimeOut.com.[4]

Background

[edit]

"Cold Gin" is about a person suffering from poverty, loneliness, and alcoholism. However, the song's meaning is widely misinterpreted to be about a struggling couple who uses alcohol to cope with a toxic relationship or about how cold gin affects the male sex drive, but thorough lyrical analysis shows this is not the case.[5] Ace Frehley confirms what the song is about in his 2011 book No Regrets.[6]

Frehley said he wrote the song while he was on the subway.[7] According to Frehley, the riff for the song was inspired by the song "Fire and Water" by English rock group Free.[8] Gene Simmons actually wrote the bridge, according to Frehley, though Simmons turned down a writing credit: "Back then, it was definitely more of a brotherhood. It didn't matter who got credit, the only thing that mattered was if the song was good".[9] 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.[10][11]

As Frehley was insecure about his singing ability, Simmons, despite being a teetotaler, sang the song on the original studio version and in most live versions, although Frehley sang parts of the song during the Alive/Worldwide Tour;[12] Frehley also sang the lead when performing "Cold Gin" with his solo band.

Live performances

[edit]

"Cold Gin" soon became a fan favorite, with the band performing it on subsequent tours (the song was also featured on Kiss's breakthrough album Alive!) but it would be dropped for the Love Gun Tour and the band did not play the song for three years, until the Unmasked Tour. The band once again dropped the song from the setlist for the Aerosmith/Kiss co-headlined Rocksimus Maximus Tour/World Domination Tour but returned it for the Kiss Alive/35 World Tour.

Frehley performed "Cold Gin" during his solo tours, along with other Kiss songs.
