Move on people the Throne died there is no other!!

How much better wouldnt it be if he didnt ruin his Kiss career with alcohol? ...Or his new career after he left the group, he would have had a great run of his own

You missed the lineup of Gene, Paul, Tommy, and Peter

What throne? And what did he have to work for? Not saying he’s not good but there’s a lot of good and even great guitar players that had to work a whole lot harder than he did and got a whole lot less recognition. You can dispute a lot of things, but you can’t dispute the truth.

I'm Argentine, a Kiss follower since '78. I'm really sorry about Mark St John's short stint and fate; apparently his West Coast personality didn't fit well with the rest, all of them New Yorkers. He also was a bit arrogant apparently, and maybe the recent memories of Vinnie's similar attitude had something to do with the little patience Gene and Paul had toward him. Mark himself expressed once that the reactive arthritis thing (a condition that recedes) was an excuse for his replacement. Animalize is in my opinion the best album they put out between Creatures and Revenge. Good content, thanks.

Ronnie James Dio. ‘Nuff said.

Most guitar players will say Fair Warning and me too! There’s a song on that album that’s been sort of forgotten in favor of Unchained or Mean Streets and rightly so. But the song I’m referring to is When Push Comes To Shove. I didn’t like it at first but boy has that song grown on me. It’s packed with all kinds of good stuff including at the start of the song, a cool little rant from Dave complaining that it’s cold in the room, asking if a bottle has anything left in it and asks for a cigarette. Ed does some nice volume swells with controlled feedback. The lyrics are cool but the best thing about this song is the solo by Ed. I think it’s one of his best ever. It sounds angry and rude. Ed says it was a first take solo. I’ve tried to play this solo for years but it’s too tough. Dweezil Zappa has also said it’s one of Ed’s best solos ever. It’s a moody song and Dave does a great job creating that moody atmosphere.

9:16 What’s with Dave wearing those goofy farmer suspenders? He’s worn suspenders pretty often in other videos. Someone needs to tell Dave suspenders aren’t cool or they just don’t look right on you.

I love motley back in the day, Nikki Sixx is a piece of tihs, he's so full of himself, I'll NEVER see them live again!

the org was best then with vinnie and last singer and bruce..the worst was the last lineup

Great to see Rob Halford in the list. 70s Aerosmith are great but I don´t like everything they did after the "Done With Mirrors" album. I wouldn´t say you missed one because it´s your list but in my list Ian Gillan and David Byron would appear.

Motley Crue's name should have been Mick Mars and crew

Mick Mars is motley crue. Dogs of war is the proof

When Wolfie was in VanHalen. It was more VanHalen than before. Because there were 3 VanHalen’s in VanHalen. And he did an incredible job. I saw them play.

Absolutely agree with you 100%. Spot on!

No way is VH 2 better than fair warning

Happened to see ACE & Frehley's Comet in '87 open for Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of A Seventh Son in Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth,Tx. I can't remember the title of his second effort, but he was clean & sober and real good.

I paused the video at 6:02,anyone notice the flag in the upper left of the shot? I know it has the initials for Wicked Lester. But it also has the uncanny similarity to Van Halen's logo. Wonder if Gene just gave it away, l know that his name is printed on the back of their debut album among other people. Hopefully Ace is the guy who came up with the design, cutting out Gene & Paul on any kind of monetary reward. Same with the KISS logo! I'm not a greedy person, nor do l believe ACE is either. But l hope that he was wise to Gene and Paul early after meeting them. I have no respect for them, like l do for Peter Criss or ACE.

Diamond Dave is the best period. I’ve seen Sammy Haggle in concert and was far from impressed. Van Halen without Roth sucks 👍💯

Dave has issues with Eddy, Alex, Michael, and Sammy. That tells me that Dave is the problem

Sorry, but totally wrong with rank 6. I would give Vinnie with Eric Carr on rank 2.The only time where Kiss played real Heavy Metal.

The Paul Stanley/Michael Jackson bit feels like a South Park skit.

Completely agree on the order. I always thought the Ace, Eric, Gene, Paul lineup would've awesome if it wasn't for Ace being all but checked out at that point.

Making fun of the genre? they ARE the genre! I can listen to 90% of all Steel Panther albums without skipping songs, but literally can't do that with ANY other band

Nice job...actually agree 100%. You should do an "Ozzy Lineups WORST to BEST" video.

I clicked on this expecting an interview with wolfie ( cuz he is such a fun, interesting guy) but was pleasantly surprised to hear your take in summarizing Wolfie. There are so many clickbait robovoice vids about him that are awful. You actually took the time to give a great summary of who is he. He deserves the best. He is his own person as Eddie wanted him to be. Eddie was said that Wolfie was the future. Such a loving proud father. Anyway, great video by you and i definitely be relistening to this many more times ( and also subscribing).

Wolf doesnt need to take his dads throne. Wolfie is here to build his own legacy and his won welldeserved throne. Yes, he is 100% Eddies and Vals son but he was taught to be his own person. And that he is. He is so multitalented. Eddie immersed him in musi but never pushed him. He wanted to see what musical magic wolfie had with, not have wolfie be a carbon copy of him. Wolfiie is phenominal! as someone who loved eddie from the beginning, it it so sweet to have Wolfie who has that joy in music that eddie had and so at my old age ( late 50s), i am now love wolfie as I was eddie ( in a musical way, not a stalker, lol. Wolfie has such a gorgeous sweet wife!) He has such a great, sweet personality. They seem so happy and in love.

Wow, great summary and assessment of Wolfie. I was once a teen, such a VH fan and loving Eddie for all that he was. I also loved Valerie so them getting together was amazing to think the child they would have. I have always loved Wolfie just because i know how much his parents wanted and loved him. Their miracle baby! But wolfie, now grown, just as his own person is phenomenal! His talent is boundless. He can do it all and does it with that same joy that Eddie had. And he is so damn nice and so supportive of talking good about about other musicians. I am an old woman now , approaching 60 and i am such a fan of his. It amuses me to think that Wolfie has a solid fan base up here in the geriatric population. We love Wolfie!!

Paul,Gene,Ace and Anton is in my top 4

Excellent video. I enjoyed it. May I ask what software you use to edit your video?

So this is what it’s come to? Homemade fan- gossip “podcasts” masquerading as some unofficial commentary on a supposed “reality” that exists wherein this guy is the mediator in some world inhabited by DLR, JasonBonham etc? It’s not Van Halen circa 1985, that’s the era anyone cares about, it’s ancient history anyway, so: who cares? You want to sort out the reality of some cobbled together Version of Van Halen and the inner band intrigue surrounding not hot 21 year old groupies but rather the milfish 42 year old accountant with a Gucci Handbag, whether or not Jason Bonham- son to the REAL legend - “thinks” this is Dave’s Girlfriend, she has the crews checks…?!!!?#%#! I have a better idea: go listen to Running with the Devil-Eruption- You Really Got Me.

The Frehley/Singer Line Up ans Criss/Thayer lineup... Where Do you rank them?

Interesting about Ace Frehley is that he didn't have much of a formal training in guitar like he didn't really know how to read chords, scales, notes, etc. most of his early years are pretty much him doing what sounded right for him. Dude is pure personal craft. He doesn't follow any scales most were made his own pattern which is pretty cool! Love Ace and Kiss!

1:03 already there is a mistake… Mark Toured with KISS…together with Bruce, there were Shows when KISS had both of them in the same stage the same show…with both of them playing 50% of the show each… Also I miss the Paul/Gene/EricS/Ace Lineup, I Miss the Paul/Gene/Peter/Tommy Lineup here too… And if we are getting picky, there also would be the 3 different 3 Person lineups, that sometime happened… and also there was the Paul/Gene/Eddie/Ace show

THE BEST LINE UP: ERIC CARR, BRUCE KULLICK, PAUL STANLEY, GENE SIMMONS. Hands down

Vinnie Vincent era #1

Gene,Paul, Ace,Peter were the best!

Paul/Peter/Ace/Gene... it's what I grew up with... I can't understand how any other line up would be someone's favorite... well i guess if you were ten years younger than me and your first experience was with Eric Carr and Bruce or whoever.. i guess they'd be your favorites...so there ya go

Enjoyed the video. Imo, Fair Warning is the best VH album. Every musician is at the top of their game and the songs rock. My only beef is the strange mix on So This is Love. After that is 1984 and WACF. I think 1984 might be their most solid album start to finish.

Worst is Tommy and Eric singer those 2 albums sucks just my 2cents. Live who cares because kiss rode coetails of early kiss from 80s to end of road same set.

Vinnie live was horrible. Those creatures soundboards paint a picture of a man who operated in his own world...painting way outside the lines.

Please remove the desegregated American flag.

My favorite kiss lineup will always be the original with Paul,gene,peter & ace!

Geez! He looks like Captain Insano looming over Mike! 😂

V good documentary. Mats always struck me as the most authentic looking of those four posers.

The best lineup is Gene, Paul, Bruce, and Eric! They were the best musically, and vocally, plus they weren't like Ace and Peter always walked out on drugs and alcohol. Ace would often be late for practice and shows, and not work on his solos. Ace always thought he was getting screwed with money, and was so paranoid about it. Peter was too much of a drama queen, and Gene and Paul would have to have someone come in, write, and play Peter's parts, then teach him how to play it. The original band was a very dysfunctional band.

I feel like the original lineup in the 70s and the original lineup in the Reunion should be 2 different tiers, cause one is significantly worse than the other lol

That interaction was a little queer. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😂

Ace, Carr, Simmons, Stanley then the original 4. Other lineups Kiss still kicked their competitions ass.

Obviously motley crue is not motley crue without the 4 original members. They tried to replace people before and they flopped. Its nothing against the other musicians they Obviously are extremely talented, but mick is the building block that made them into MOTLEY CRUE!! Nikki sixx is the only one who could be replaced and the sound that is Motley Crue wouldn't change a bit. Granted he is the main song writer but nobody can replicate mick playing
