Oh my, you can tell by the glares Gene and Paul give Ace during that Tom Snyder interview that they found his demeanor utterly unprofessional. I can just see Gene (who stops participating in the interview in bad mood after a while) taking poor Ace to task in the studio aisles along the line of an intimidating "You play guitar in this band and nothing else, don't ever interrupt Paul or me again ...". It speaks loads about the band chemistry at the time. Not a happy family.
And since everyone seems to have something derogatory to say about "I was made for lovin' you", may I state: I think it's a great catchy, danceable and uplifting tune. Compared to the musical accidents scattered on earlier Kiss records, "I was ..." is sheer Mozart from a songwriting perspective. No Kiss album will ever oust Destroyer from its rightful throne, but Dynasty is another favorite of mine, brilliant for "Sure know something ..." and "I was ..." alone. Play those two on an acoustic guitar followed by Firhouse or Deuce and then tell me what the better songwriting is. The earlier stuff is bad enough to have been turned down by early Grand Funk Railroad as B-sides and that is saying something as Grand Funk took a while to learn how to write a song too.
