It seems like this album is flawless when you listen to it's perfectly crafted songs. King Of The Night Time World is one of those songs that has a simple hook that just eats into your brain. Paul Stanley plays rather simply here, not much going on rhythm wise except for standard power chords and a bit of a shuffle. Ace's solo is very well crafted, not as intense as his earlier work, but this type of solo is the "Norm" on "DESTROYER". It has an octave line going along with the solo and on the end when the solo repeats it self (ala Detroit Rock City & Shout It Out Loud). Nice harmony lines make this solo work. The feedback note at the beginning can be achieved by facing your amp and bending the note, your amp is gonna have to be loud to do this one ;) enjoy!
