  LOVE'S A SLAP IN THE FACE (from the KISS CD "HOT IN THE SHADE")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: Gene probably has the record of having the most long song titles
  on a single KISS album. But then again, he balanced that with two one-word
  titles so... This bass part is serious. Gene felt the need to bring out
  some old moves and add plenty of little high register fills. Kind of a
  text-book of playing over changes in rock, this is pentatonic for days.
