Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she wont be a slave, we say that she dont love us
If shes real, we say shes trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that shes above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that shes too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!

We insult her every day on tv
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When shes young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

I must say that as an aspiring self-taught musician, I cannot personally choose between two majorly contrasting acts.

I have heard far more of the beatles works, so therefore I would be biased to choose them over KISS in the outset, but I then need to listen to more KISS music to pass any sort of judgement.

I may like their stuff, I may not, but until I have listened I will reserve my overall comment on this one.

Plus I can understand there are so many manipulations that can be done even with the same chord pattern and structure, which is why a number of covers are successful (or even songs borrowing part of another song)

Tinchy Stryder's latest song that I've heard -> has taken something from Olive's You're Not Alone

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby - took a simple bassline from Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure

Then Covers - say it all. Different styled artists trying to reproduce a previous work of musical art is a let down to current mainstream pop/rock works, in as much as originality is slowly dwindling away. Come on people, creation!

Which band do you prefer? I would have to say The Beatles. They made more of a musical, cultural and social impact than KISS. By the same token,KISS gave us that sily amusement park movie,a real rock & roll cinema classic.rofl be seeing you


Let's see -- on one hand, we have a nice, soft, fluffy pillow -- on the other hand we have a poison dart in the butt.

Beatles.

Kiss... more like a costume party... I guess they may have been entertaining when they had their makeup and get up on... for some... but once the makeup came off... Ummmm...can you put that stuff back on please? Very theatrical... not much musical talent...but hey... I guess people will do anything to sell some albums... IMO

Kiss has and will continue to do anything to market the brand. They are shameless hucksters and self-promoters. They've done more with less than any other act in musical history. I'd rather listen to my dad farting all day long than Kiss.

Cheap Trick is actually a good band so it does not offend the senses the way Kiss might...

IMO anything the beetles did before 1967 sucked, everything Paul Stanley sings....sucks! And I think it sucks that KISS has two impostors dressed like Ace and Peter.
