Another classic track from "DESTROYER". 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 son
gs 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 t
he "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 m
ake 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!

KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD
Kim Fowley, Mark Anthony, Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin

[Riff. 1] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
It's so sad, livin' at home
Far from the city and the midnight fun
It's so bad, goin' to school
So far from me and the dirty things that we do

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
It's so fine, lovin' with ease
Far from the house and the family fights
It's so fine, bein' with you
Bein' with me makes everything alright

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream, alright

[Solo I] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 4]
[Solo II w/ end.1] & [Solo III] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 3]

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
It's so sad, you're not content
Far from the music and the neon glow
Ain't you glad we got the time
Far from our folks, they'll never ever know

[Rhythm Fig. 3a] w/ [Riff. 2]
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Solo II]
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Solo II] w/[Solo III] (Until Fade)
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
