Songfacts®:

  • Known more for their theatrics than their lyrics, Kiss has many songs that imply sex, and this in one of them. It worked well for them in concert: When Kiss performed this live, Ace Frehley would have a smoke bomb in his guitar that would go off during his solo. >>

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganApparently, Mike McCready is fan of Ace's, as the solo in Pearl Jam's "Alive" uses a bunch of licks from the "She" solo.
  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganJim from Indio, CA: You're so right, bro! I knew it sounded familiar!
  • Jason from Denver, CoI wonder if Paul Stanley's REAL initials were any influence to this song...Stanley Harvey Eisen.
  • Randy from Colerain Twp., OhOn the "Double Platinum" album, the intro to "Rock Bottom" is played prior to the opening of this song.
  • Axeman from Melbourne, AustraliaWHO was the idiot that put Bruce Springteen clip on here for She.
    Ok it seems he's parodying KISS version of Then She Kissed Me, but this ISN'T KISS!

    And Henrik, she was actually written by Gene and Steve Coronel back when they were like 15 when they were in the LONG Island Sounds! MUCH further back than Wicked Lester. Same for Goin' Blind also!
  • Jason from Denver, Colo., CoThe wicked Lester version of "SHE" sounds as if KISS and JETHRO TULL had a baby
  • Daniel from Leighton, AlKiss is an awesome band that has stood the test of time
  • Jim from Indio, CaAce copied Robbie Krieger's solo on "Five to One" by the Doors
  • Henrik from San Marcos, Ca"She" and "Love Her All I Can" were first written for and recorded on demo for Wicked Lester, Paul and Gene's band right before KISS. Both songs had a much lighter arrangement; "She" included a flute solo.
