Love Is On The Way


"Love Is On The Way" is a power ballad by American rock band Saigon Kick, released on their 1992 second studio album, The Lizard. Unlike the heavier tracks on the record, it is a straightforward acoustic ballad, making it an accessible and rewarding piece for guitarists exploring softer rock styles. Written and produced by lead guitarist Jason Bieler, the song reached number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and earned RIAA gold certification, highlighting how a simple, clean guitar-driven arrangement can achieve mainstream success.

  • The song was written and produced entirely by Saigon Kick's lead guitarist Jason Bieler, making it a guitarist-led creative effort.
  • Unlike most tracks on The Lizard (1992), this song relies on acoustic guitar rather than the band's usual heavier electric sound.
  • It is Saigon Kick's only US Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at number 12 and earning RIAA gold certification in March 1993.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Jason Bieler's go-to for Saigon Kick's heavier sections, the Les Paul Standard delivers the mahogany warmth and dual humbucker bite needed for tight, saturated rhythm tones. Its set neck construction provides the sustain and response that defines the band's signature crunch without sacrificing dynamic clarity.

The Les Paul Custom's thicker body and premium construction give Bieler even more midrange presence and sustain for Saigon Kick's most expressive lead passages. This instrument handles both the band's heavy riff work and smoother melodic solos with equal conviction.
