From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Out of Control is the second solo album (his first being his 1978 self-titled) released by former KISS drummer Peter Criss. Recording for the album began in March 1980, when Criss was still officially a member of KISS. The album sold very poorly, and was not re-released on CD until 1997, as the KISS reunion tour was underway.
The lone single from the album, "I Found Love," failed to chart. The album also featues a hidden bonus track of a cover of "As Time Goes By." Criss sang the first two lines, "you must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss."
