Love Gun is Released

Love Gun is the sixth studio album by KIϟϟ. Casablanca Records and FilmWorks shipped one million copies of the album on this date. It was certified platinum and became the band's first top 5 album on the Billboard 200.

It is the first KIϟϟ album to feature a lead vocal performance from Ace on "Shock Me" a song was inspired by an event that took place during the Rock and Roll Over tour when he suffered an electric shock. This was the first lead vocal that he recorded. In his autobiography, he states that he originally intended for Gene Simmons to sing the song, but the bassist encouraged him to try it himself. He recorded his lead vocal part while lying on the floor of the studio because he liked the added pressure on his chest. Making Love Gun the first album to feature lead vocal performances from all four band members (It was also the last studio album to feature Peter on every song).

The album cover was painted by fantasy artist Ken Kelly, who previously contributed the cover for 1976's Destroyer. A cardboard "Love Gun" (assembly required) was included inside the album, along with a KIϟϟ merchandise order form
