Killer (Kiss song)
"Killer" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. Featured on their 1982 album, Creatures of the Night, the song was released as an A-side single in the United Kingdom. Although "I Love It Loud" was an A-side single in the United States, it would be relegated to the B-side in the UK.[1] It was the first song Vinnie Vincent and Gene Simmons wrote together after the two had met.[2] In addition to not being able to chart at all, Kiss has never performed the song live and it has only been released as a single and on all issues of the Creatures of the Night album (the song was switched places with "Saint and Sinner" on the 1985 reissue).

gollark: Personally I would say yes.
gollark: The question is just whether dying is worse than getting 1 million € is good.
