Did BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Take Inspiration From KISS' 'I Was Made For Lovin' You'?

February 4, 2009

According to Ickmusic, a new controversy brewing on the interwebs is the similarity between BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's new album opener "Outlaw Pete", and KISS' 1979 foray into disco, "I Was Made For Lovin' You". Similar, yes. But does it tread into COLDPLAY/JOE SATRIANI territory? Listen to the two tracks below and judge for yourself.

"I Was Made for Lovin' You" originally appeared on KISS' 1979 album "Dynasty". It was released as the A-side of their first single from the album. It was the band's second gold single, selling over 1 million copies. The single reached No. 11 on the U.S. Billboard singles chart. The song also became a Top 10 hit in Australia reaching No. 6 on the ARIA charts in 1979. The song fared the best in Western Europe (Where it became a Top 20 hit in Sweden, a Top 10 hit in Norway, made it to the No. 2 position in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, and in Holland it became a No. 1 smash).
