#kiss #rush
Please do whole "Creatures of the Night" album. One of their best! Third in terms of heaviness , I think 😀
Like kiss or not, kiss remains one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time
No doubt.
Danger has one of my absolute favorite Kiss solos!
KISS with the right Producer can sound GREAT! Danger is from Creatures, probably one of their best sounding records sonically. Eric Carr's drum sound is AWESOME!
Dynasty, not so much haha..that's when they were going down in flames. First 4 studio records are all great, although not the best Production, did not capture their live sound. This is why they did the first KISS alive record, STILL their best album of all time. So heavy, incredible sound very nicely engineered by Eddie Kramer who did Zeppelin and Jimi!!
Ahh Narvik broke the seal with Kiss first! I have a pretty kick-ass Kiss marathon lined up for later myself! They have great stuff and they have mediocre stuff. Glad your mind is opened brother! Very sweet marathon Narvik, I highly enjoyed my friend. Hey Nick, I bought that T-shirt back in 1981😂!
the problem with KISS is that they have very good songs
and terrible songs.....but I'm a fan
Veery interesting Eric, I didn't expect you in the Kiss-camp 😆 but as the good "boy" that I am, I will surely watch also this marathon .... I survived OPUS life is life, so I will survive Kiss 🤣
Test for Echo! Amazing tune
And underappreciated imo
Thank God for Kiss, they took Rush under their wings. They tour together in the mid 70's. Thanks Nick. Great channel👍. Play more Rush.
Destroyer’s a hell of an album imo may wanna revisit tracks like I stole your love, Love gun, Shout it out loud etc but you’ll prob love the 80’s era the Elder-Asylum / Revenge
Glad some Rush fans are getting a chance to listen to this .. 😏
Yeah the Vinnie Vincent era was approximately 2 years. It was KISS heaviest time. He played on Creatures and Lick it up. Another Heavy Metal Album, Animalize came after Lick it up. The 70‘s were more a kind of Rock n‘ Roll. The 79-80 was a Soft Rock time.
On 1985 started the Hair Metal and Hard Rock era of KISS with Bruce Kulick. So KISS changed their sound, when the Leadguitar player and the Drummer changed.
You might like the 80’a era better checkout King of the Mtn, Legend tonight, Nowhere to run, While the city sleeps, Ive had enough, Not for the innocent, Young n wasted, Ive had enough, The Oath, Only you and so on glad your giving em a 2nd chance
Rush was prog in their entire existence
Back in high school, a girl who was interested in me took me to a KISS concert. She paid for the tickets, and we took her car, a jacked up 67' Chevy SS. Sorry, but after that concert, I lost interest, even with that car. 😅 The members of KISS are by no stretch of the imagination master musicians. Hell, their guitar and bass solos consist of just a few notes, and the crowd even went crazy while Gene or Paul just pounded on a note or two for ten minutes. Laughable. Their songs are nothing much either. Sure, they have their hits, but the lyrics and melodies are abysmal. One high school summer, I was painting my aunt's house for some summer work. My cousin had some KISS albums, so I listened to their solo stuff, basically, each member cut an album. Atrocious. The lyrics were sophomoric at best, and the music was just two or three chord claptrap. Just imagine if they never wore that makeup. They would have faded away a long time ago.
I couldn't agree more. Me and my friends grew up listening to Zep, ELP, Yes, Genesis, Rush, Deep Purple. To us, KISS was a rude joke. The worst.
But they laughed all the way to the bank. Gene and Paul are very very wealthy.
What is popular isn't necessarily good and what is good isn't necessarily popular. A real conundrum!
True. I’ve never heard the term ‘amazing’ applied to their music.
you wrote lots of things, I would immediatley subscribe ... I even once said, Kiss is "rock music for children", because they like the masques and the music doesn't matter 😂😂
Pariah with Michael Jackson on vocals. I kid you not. Not the same guy, obviously. Saw them supporting at a Venom secret gig at the Marquee club in '89. Venom played as Sons of Satan, and only about a dozen people turned up. It was just me and another guy down the front for Pariah. They were great. Steve Ramsey & Graeme English went off and formed Skyclad with Martin Walkyier (Sabbat) on vocals.
There is a "joke" with Nick's "Nickisms" where he pronounces _Jetro_ Tull, and then Lexi (and a listener) saying "Deathrow Tull'! It could be a Death Metal version of Tull", and I replied . . .
"Well, there is a Thrash version of that, a Folk-Metal band called 'Skyclad' who practically invented the genre".
Don't even get me started about Martin's astounding lyrics and his 2 albums with *Sabbat* and I'm a HUGE Skyclad fan (with Walkyier) too. I got to meet Sabbat in LA when they reformed and went on a limited World Tour.
@@mvunit3 Aye, Skyclad was a great band. Probably still are, but I haven't listened to anything after Walkyier left. Saw Sabbat about a dozen times back in the day, and the Return to the Sabbat reformation. They supported Candlemass in London (July 2002).
Nice shirt Nick👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
The best KISS album is the one that broke them to the USA--KISS Alive! There's nothing soft about that album. It features the best songs from their first three studio releases, and it was the album where most fans came onboard. The song Black Diamond would be a good place to start with that double LP live recording.
I saw them live 3 times twice without makeup and one with makeup with the original members Rush of course 🔥🔥
Keep on Reacting! Driven from Test for Echo album is also seriously rocking. If you havent hit "Leave that Thing Alone" from Counterparts it is a good instrumental.
I don't know how I missed this
These are two albums with Vinnie Vincent playing guitar. He replaced Ace Frehley. Creatures of The Night was their heaviest album. The drummer is Eric Carr, not Peter Criss.
Pariah started out as Satan. Then changed to Blibd Fury. The Pariah and back to Satan. Check out Satan - Alone In The Dock. Their debut album Courtt In The Act are phenomenal.
There are a few bands named pariah, the one that’s like guns and roses isn’t the band you heard, you heard the metal band pariah , they changed the name from Satan to pariah for a few albums so don’t get confused with the glam band and the metal band, found a few other bands called pariah 😮
The three albums you would like by KISS are CREATURES OF THE NIGHT, LICK IT UP, ANIMALIZE, and to add one more you might like, ASYLUM.
Good pick; I don't listen to that one enough. Now, for primo 90's Rush... their previous album, Counterparts (1993), was their distinct return to more guitar oriented Rush and it's an album with many treasures. I can't recommend strongly enough the 3rd cut on that one: "Cut to the Chase"!!!
Hey, 50.5k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should hear War Machine...unbelievable.
Vinnie was on both of those albums. Maestro of guitar
I'll admit I never could get all that into much Rush, and this song is no exception. But they've got a few I like.
Best Kiss Albums for me, all without masks. Creatures of the Night, Lick It Up and Revenge.
They still wore makeup for Creatures
The whole Creatures of the Night album is great! War Machine is another great one from that album!
Robbin Ford plays the solo on "Danger".
Rick Derringer plays the solo on
"Exciter".
Vinnie Vincent does not play on either track.
Maybe not the solos, but yes, Vinnie is on there.
The great surprise for me is Pariah. Will check more of them. Thanx Narvik and Nick🎸
Pariah are a british band. formerly called Satan and the guitar players went on to form Skyclad who were the godfathers of folk metal
Creatures of The Night is very goid from beginning to the end. The Vinnie Vincent era is my favorite. Lick It Up starts well, but I don't recommend the entire album. Animalized and Asylum have their heavy moments, too.
Hi again .. forgot .. The Kiss track you were thinking of was, "Detroit Rock City", which was the very 1st track on the album "Destroyer" . Byee Jim X
For more 90s Rush I recommend Driven from Test For Echo, Dreamline & Bravado from Roll The Bones and Animate from Counterparts
Sure know something is pretty cool reminds me of Glamour Profession by Steely Dan the basslines are iconic
Hi Nick I watched a lot of 80's rock on late evening tv shows and enjoyed the videos & live sections when many groups were with long hair & long permed hair. Kiss with their make up, put on some great live music and were an act as much as a rock group with spitting fire or blood from Gene Simmons. Their live album "Kiss Alive" [ volume 1 ] is still a favourite of mine, before they went commercial. I have Rush, "Test For Echo" album, but I have to be honest ... It's not an album I play very much. Never heard Pariah. Quite good. Interesting choice of tracks and I did enjoy the overall marathon. Thankyou. Byee Jim X
Following Rush through their careers , when a new album came out you were never completely sure what sound/style you would hear. Many times I would come away a little disappointed because it wasn't want what I was expecting or hoping for. But their albums always warranted repeated plays and then the one I thought I didn't like some became a favourite. Signals being a prime example , didn't listen for years then when I did it became one of my top Rush albums.
This was fun @NARVIK !!!!
Kiss can be hit or miss with me. Some songs I enjoy and others, well.... They did an unplugged performance that I thought was pretty good all without their make up that I enjoyed quite a bit.
I was really surprised when they did a cover of a DC5 song on one of their live albums.
Kiss is always a miss for me, lol. They remind me of Bachman Turner with make up.
@@hatsbo1 No no, BTO is much better, think of heavier songs like Not fragile or Four wheel drive, and all the hits, I'm not gonna name ...
Only you kinda reminds me of a Rush song linear proggy still groovy but the chords remind me of Alex Lifeson
Didn't buy the wrong album.. just out of order. Old kiss best kiss. Although this is a island album. 🤘
Reaction plis!!! Kiss live 1 100000 years and Black diamond
Hi Nick, Man is serius , you need hear songs metal Kiss , like : Creatues of the nught , under the gun , not for inocent , i am Alive ,. Loves's a deadly weapon , Wars machine,. Jeep me coming , i' ve Had Enough ( into the fire ) , Unholy , paralyzed , 🤘🇧🇷🤘🍺
Keep me coming 🤘
Love the Rush! Not so much the other stuff…
Please do a Clockwork Angels listen party. You will not be disappointed!
Neil is a monster.
I suggest a revisit to said album. Maturity does wonders .
Still pretty early right 81ish?
Kinda reminds me of the Oath another Maideny # you might like
The Oath sounds like Manowar and Mercyful Fate in one song before both band put their records
It's Easier not necessarily "proper" hearing Rush the 1st time w rough Chronology. 70s-84. 85-91, 93 up to 2012. More to sense the development of tastes & time frames. TfE is a favorite song, esp imfrom 93 - range
Lots of heavy kiss to enjoy, they wimped out in the late 80’s but made a killer comeback with revenge in the 90’s
Was that the no-makeup years? 🤣
Nick, I think the intersection of your and my taste is somewhere between 80 and 90 %, but in the case of Kiss I have to disagree with you. They never did anything to or for me and although I maybe only know 10 % of their music, there is no desire to hear more.
Rush's Test for Echo has my pro and contra : it's a great rock song, I like the riffs and everything, but as the other songs after 1990 it's moving away from the Rush I loved most.
Pariah is an interesting discovery, I will have to listen to more of their music
I’d love to hear you guys react to Andy Timmons…
Please listen too more seventies kiss from top to bottom they have a lot of seventies british sound hard rock listen to every album before assuming listing to one song is a bad idea on your behalf dynasty has a couple heavy songs dont be blind.
This Rush sounded more like Tool.
I saw a no makeup version of Kiss on a bill opening up for Whitesnake when Steve Vai was touring with them in 1990. Bruce Kulick, Kiss' guitarist at the time, was OK. Vai had a solo spot which he opened by doing a Hendrix inspired version of the Canadian anthem, and he played his heart-shaped guitar among others.
Kiss never opened for Whitesnake !😂
In my opinion KISS just uses bad boy symbolism to market corny music. In my opinion Cheap Trick is a better classic band who dabbled in hard rock etc. Way better in fact. Although some of their later songs suck. But not as many as KISS. just my 2 cents. Peace from NM.
Kiss always had something very cartoonish about them. So going disco was not too bad a move, their "disco" tracks sound better than what they sold as "rock" tracks - but each to their own ✌
It's not that i totally dislike Kiss, but one can't really take anything serious they put out and in that kind of vein I definitely rather listen to The Darkness.
Oh dude!! Dynasty was their worst album ever!!! They went pop/disco on that album!!! Awful!!
I'm shocked you like KISS. I suggest you read the comment by Frankincensed. Pretty much says it all.
Why can soneone not like KISS?
@@narvik9035 Where did I say that someone can't like KISS?
I love Gentle Giant Magma Zappa Steely Dan Allan Holdsworth Pierre Boulez Xenakis Miles Davis all the good stuff
BUT I'm also a huge Kiss fan
Their albums from 73 to 82 are masterpieces
@@guillaumechabason3165 cool. What piece do you recommend I listen to on yt?
@@Lightmane th-cam.com/video/LIi02Yx-3A8/w-d-xo.html
No you were not wrong about Kiss. They suck!!! The reason they wore ridiculous costumes is to distract from their horrible music. My 2cents but carry on.
