I have to be brutally honest by stating that very few tribute albums have been worth a damn to say the utter least. Most of these feeble attempts either ended up making a mockery of the little creditability the featured acts on these albums had or they never even got out of the starting gate due to a record companies lack of promotion in this area of endeavors. With Spin The Bottle it is quit the contrary, this super star tribute to the hottest band in the world has some how managed to work better then ever anticipated. Gathering such incredible rock musicians together could not have been such an easy task in it's own but getting together the likes of Lemmy, Tommy Shaw, Dee Snider, and a slew of others to play Kiss covers seems almost impossible. Who could of ever imagined artists like Page Hamilton (Helmet) or Buzz Osborne (Melvins) pounding out such classics as "Calling Dr. Love" and the ominous "God Of Thunder" on the same album as Kip Winger (Winger) and Mark Slaughter (Slaughter). Spin The Bottle plays at times like a who's who of past chart toping rockers giving it a some-what old school rock appeal. At the same time, artists like Lemmy (Motorhead) and Doug Pinnick (Kings X) still keep the stronger side of rock intact with incredible versions of such Kiss classics as "Shout It Out Loud" and "Parasite". Easily the weakest links on Spin The Bottle are the sub-par renditions of "I Want You" by Kip Winger and the incredibly glossy cover of "Love Gun" by Tommy Shaw. Like most tribute albums there are always a couple of throw away cuts that bog down the vibe of the album and thankfully Spin The Bottle has taken the standard format and switched it up a bit with a mixed barrage of artists keeping the listener easily entertained. If you at all have an open mind toward all kinds of rock music Spin The Bottle is for you.
