The song has also been featured on many of Kiss ' live albums , including an up - tempo version on Alive II . Many various sound effects were used to make the song including explosions , clapping , zippers , overdubbed audience chatter and screaming children . Even though the song was written by Paul Stanley , who had every intention of singing it for Destroyer , producer Bob Ezrin suggested slowing down the tempo and handing the lead vocals over to Gene Simmons . The song was and is Simmons ' `` theme song '' for the band . It is often performed live with blood - spitting , a bass solo , and a portion of the song being performed by Simmons on a high - rise above the audience . The song was dropped from the setlist and replaced by `` I Love It Loud '' in 2008 . Kiss did play it at a show in Athens , Greece , during the Kiss Alive / 35 World Tour . The song was eventually returned to the setlist on the second leg of The Hottest Show on Earth Tour starting in Everett , WA , and has remained part of the list again since 2012 . `` God of Thunder '' was originally a frenetic up - tempo rocker , but it underwent a change when Ezrin decided it would be a perfect vehicle for Simmons and his `` Demon '' stage persona . Indeed , the lyrics to `` God of Thunder '' seem tailor - made for this image as they lay out the first - person tale of a figure with godlike powers tied to rock & roll : `` I gather darkness to please me / And I command you to kneel , before the / God of thunder and rock & roll / The spell you ' re under will slowly rob you of your virgin soul . '' Stanley ' s initial pop - tinged melody was darkened and slowed down to a mid - tempo throb that contrasted ominous verses built on slowly ascending phrases with a stomping , neo - operatic chorus full of sturm und drang . The result was a perfect vehicle for an ambitious , cinematic production , and this is exactly what Ezrin gave it on Destroyer : the song is built on a cavernous , echo - drenched soundscape anchored by Peter Criss ' militaristic drum work and fleshed out by squalling electric guitar riffs and a throbbing bass line . Simmons bellows out the lyrics in a gravelly roar that cuts through the heavy arrangement , and Ezrin dresses up the song with artfully placed bits of feedback and creepy , babbling child voices that were created by Ezrin recording his son David chattering on a walkie - talkie while listening to the song . All these touches gave Kiss ' recording of `` God of Thunder '' a sense of gothic rock bombast that fully lived up to the larger - than - life lyrics . It was a bit too heavy to be a single but became a natural live showpiece for Simmons in an exciting , faster arrangement that became a highlight of the band ' s post - Destroyer shows ( a live rendition of this version can be found on Alive II ) . Since then , it has been covered by Entombed . In 1999 , Kiss lip - synced the song on WCW Monday Nitro . According to Dean Malenko on the WCW DVD , it was the lowest rated Nitro ever .
