Beth (1976) - KISS


Beth (1976) Written by Peter Criss, Stan Penridge, Ezrin; Performed by KISS



Raucous, along with fighting personality issues, also has to fight their label on a regular basis. Axis wants them to retain their boy-next-door look and sound while Duncan spearheads the fight to move into the mid-Seventies with a harsher, more adult sound. With the money controlling the albums, they're forced into doing a lot of cover songs they feel are holding them back.

Susie joins the fight to let them move forward, mentioning other bands doing well with harder, more adult looks. One of the bands she mentions is KISS: "That's scary, really." Scary or not, she does become a KISS fan.

Beth is about a musician too busy with his career to spend much time with his girl and he's apologizing for it, but he knows it's not going to change. At one point, Stu sings part of it to his girlfriend, with unintended results.

Much of Rehearsal deals with the life of rock stars: the long, late hours, the traveling, the fans, girls throwing themselves at them, never knowing which are interested in them for them rather than only for the image ... and how those who try to be close to them deal with it, or don't.
