GOD GAVE ROCK ’N’ ROLL TO YOU II
“God Gave Rock ’N’ Roll to You II” is a song by the American hard rock band KISS. KISS first released it as a single in 1991, featured on the soundtrack to the movie Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, and was later included on KISS’ 1992 album Revenge. Though the song covered the Argent 1973 song “God Gave Rock and Roll to You”, it had substantially modified lyrics in the verses, thus the reason behind the slight change in the name of the song. It is one of the few songs from KISS’s non-makeup era to be played live since the band returned to makeup. (More from Wikipedia)
In 1991, KISS remade “God Gave Rock ’n’ Roll to You” under the name “God Gave Rock ’n’ Roll to You II” for the soundtrack for the film, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. KISS has never done anything Satanic as far as I know, although there was a rumor that their initials stand for “Knights in Satan’s Service”. Also the S’s in the band’s logo are in the style of the Nazi SS; since they have been forbidden to be displayed in Germany since 1979, KISS’s promotional material and albums in that country have been adjusted appropriately.
