Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names)

Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names)

Composer Bobby Prince Released 1993-12-10 Title Origin Official

Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names) is obviously a censored form of the phrase "kicking ass and taking names". Listeners compare the track to Pantera's Rise due to its droning guitars and various drum interludes. The song also sounds a little similar to the song Mach 5 by the band The Presidents of the United States of America.

This track appears on the Doom Music album. Bobby Prince composed the song using Sequencer Plus Gold.
