“All Hell's Breakin Loose” by Kiss

"All Hell's Breakin' Loose" comes from Lick It Up, Kiss's 11th studio album, from 1983, and it's one of only four songs in the band's history that carry the names of all four members at the time: Eric Carr, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Vinnie Vincent. Carr was the engine, coming up with the music and arrangement. He wanted it to wear his Led Zeppelin influence and was at first annoyed when Stanley, who sings lead, rapped the verse instead, an early collision of hard rock and rap. Carr later came around, crediting Stanley's input with getting it onto the album and out as a single.

It followed the title track as the album's second and last single in 1984, missing the US charts but reaching 71 in West Germany. Wrestling fans may remember it as the entrance music of the Stud Stable in Continental Championship Wrestling.
