Its simplicity is its strength; the driving 4/4 beat and the shout-along chorus were specifically designed to be a "battle cry for the masses" in a stadium setting. Composition and Identity The song features the classic KISS lineup: : Lead vocals and bass guitar. Paul Stanley : Rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Ace Frehley : Lead guitar. Peter Criss : Drums.
