The song BETH was placed on the B side because it was a balad and Gene thought it belonged on the B side various people had the album at home and after listening to it contacted a local radio station and asked the station to play it the disc jockeys were surprised and they contacted other local radio stations informing them about the song

The band Kiss was started in 1973 and this song BETH was on there 4th album Destroyer and it was written by Peter and Stan Penridge who were in a band before Kiss and originally it was call Beck but Gene Simmons of Kiss you might want to change that to Beth cause they might they will think this song is about Jeff Beck. The Album Destroyer came out in 1976 .

This song was the b side to "Detroit Rock City" and disc jockeys turned the record over and played this and it became a mega hit. Ladies, "Detroit Rock City" is rock.

Kiss broke big in 1975 w/ their double live album 'Alive!' and became famous for anthemic hard rock songs like 'Rock and roll all nite' ... It came as a huge surprise when 'Beth' became a huge hit single (#7 in the US charts) in 1976 from their 4th album 'Destroyer'... Kiss wanted to show that they could also make pop songs... Peter Criss (drums) had written a ballad song for his 1st wife Rebecca titled 'Beck' (before he had joined Kiss) when he was a struggling musician in NYC. The producer Bob Ezrin loved the song and asked Peter to rename it 'Beth' (Ezrin felt the name was more feminine) and hired the NY Philharmonic Orchestra to play it w/ Peter Criss singing lead. 'Beth' was not originally a single... but radio DJ's were given a copy of the single 'Detroit rock city' by Kiss, which had 'Beth' on the flip side. The DJ's played 'Beth' instead and it took off as a commercial single and made the 'Destroyer' album a platinum selling success. For Kiss concerts, the band would start an encore w/ Peter Criss coming to the front of the stage and singing 'Beth' to the ladies in the audience while the music played on tape... Later tours, Peter would hand out roses to the women in the front row while singing 'Beth'.

As for myself, the songs I like the most? God of thunder. Shout it out loud. Rock n roll all night. I just wanna. Love gun. Take it off. I was made for loving you.

I was made for loving you was the disco song they wrote back in 1979 during the disco era. Paul Stanley said in an interview, that Disco songs were easy to write. Beth was a surprise hit to them. They thought it was going to be a dud, but it appealed to a different audience, and became a big hit. During a live Kiss concert, they play Beth just before their last song to settle the audience down. Then their last song of every concert is always Rock and Roll all night and party every day! Right after that, Paul Stanley then smashes his guitar, in two and throws both pieces out to the audience as a souvenir and says, "We love you, Goodnight".

Song was originally wrote as Beck for Peter's girlfriend Becky.
