One of the best of teh studio tracks from ALIVE II!. Bob Kulick plays lead
guitar on this one. They do try to make him play ACE-type licks, but if you
know ACE's playing, you KNOW it's not him. Regardless Bob does some good
work on this one. Using Trills (with a whammy bar and without), Bends, and
some copped Ace licks to get this done... Well done. As for Paul, his
rhythm work is superb, throwing in some overdubbed fills to make this song
move.. Enjoy!

Mama told me, "Your lady's lookin' for another man"

I got my reasons, the things I do are better left unsaid
I'm into pleasin', I do my talkin' with my hands instead
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/Rhythm Fig. 2a]
'Cause I can make some time
You got your ticket and you're lookin' fine
You're starin' at the band, you want to land

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official KISS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
