Garth Brooks names Kiss as one of the biggest influences in his early musical life and is a huge fan of their theatrical stage shows. In 1994, Brooks appeared on the collaborative album Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved, a compilation of Kiss covers by various artists. Brooks was the only country singer on the album and his was the only track that members of the band played on. Brooks and Kiss later teamed up to perform “Hard Luck Woman” live on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
