"Flaming Youth" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. The song is featured on their 1976 album "Destroyer", and was the first Kiss single to feature a picture sleeve. [ [http://www.kissfaq.com/singles/usa/singles_usa.html KISS singles Information] ]

The song was written by Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Bob Ezrin. Ezrin actually took samples of music written by the other three and organized them into one song. For example, one of the main riffs on "Flaming Youth" was from a song that Simmons wrote called "Mad Dog", which appeared on Kiss' 2001 release, "The Box Set".

Session guitarist Dick Wagner and member of Alice Cooper's solo band, played the guitar solo on the track, as well as on "Sweet Pain", the next song on the record. This was much to the surprise to Frehley, who did not find out that his own part was recorded over until he heard the final mix of the album.Leaf, David and Ken Sharp.

There is some highly unusual instrumentation in this song, especially for a metal band, an organ or possibly a barrel organ.
