I'm 54, and been a KISS fan since 9 yrs old, and I gotta say, if Brian were to sing all of Gene's songs, I'd pay to attend that concert just as quickly! Good job Brian, you are an inspiration and true hero!! God bless!
YES I was there at the Lynne Auditorium in Massachusetts! I won tickets online, caught a flight and went to see Gene Simmons on his solo band / VAULT tour. This kid got on stage and KILLED it. Everyone in the audience was screaming for him to do more. He got the most applause of the night. He was SAVAGE! A blind guy going: "I wanna see your hands in the air"! He owned the night just like he owned Gene Simmons. This kid has talent!
This just freakin Rocks!! People put Gene down and say he's an ass well watch this!! At the end Gene has to wipe the tears from his eyes! I say he is a good dude and will always be one of my very first Rock Hero's and inspirations!!!!!
I think that in a lot of ways Gene is a horses' ass. It is touching to see that his heart isn't entirely gone. I must give him props for giving this young man his time to shine.
That is one reason why I love KISS and Gene & co, they are so familiar with their fans, even they are really rockstars, I met them through the years several times! KISS Army! "It doesn't matter where you are born or come from, it matters where your head is at!", P. Stanley
this kind've dispels the notion that kiss is just a gimmick band that is nothing without the makeup and bombs.. listen to the first three albums and compare it to other New York bands in the same scene at the same time i.e. the dolls; there was nobody else in the glam scene who looked or SOUNDED like them.. they may not have been the best players but they were way better than people give them credit for; Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley recorded some of the best bass lines and guitar solos in the history of rock.. this video proves that at the end of the day it's about the music. KISS is far more than a band and brand, for some it is a way of life.. far beyond being just a visual band to the point that a blind dude feels it.. Gene loved soul music and when this guy sings it you kinda get a glimpse of what Gene might have been hearing in his head or blasting on his stereo at the time.. killer voice from Brian and so much fun to see Gene actually having fun while playing music. Listen to the Catalog from 73 to 82 and it is obvious that Gene Simmons is one of the most under rated bass players in rock music.
God bless that boy - what an inspiration - today I was feeling sorry for myself because I lost my job last week - after seeing and hearing this kid's attitude towards life combined with his inability to see, I feel ashamed and embarrassed about myself - this is the REAL Doctor Love
Impressive ! This gave me tears in my eyes, so much passion.... that is what music is all about ! Music unite everyone, colour, gender, relgion, healthy or sick....it doesn´t matter ! we are all together and enjoy all the same. M U S I C
Brian you did an excellent job I'm so proud of you man awesome you sang so perfectly you're a natural. When I saw your video singing with Gene Simmons it move me it was so emotional I'm glad you let nothing stand in your way Brian go get what you want and don't care about what anybody else thinks you are the man Brian God bless you and family always
If you guys knew Brian, You'd know that he calls that just another Thursday night. He is incredible inspiring for everyone who knows him! Keep rocking B-Mac!
I was there! The entire concert was AWESOME but if you told me that the #1 highlight would be a blind fan singing Calling Dr. Love, I would've said you were crazy. This guy was amazing!
What very very awesome is this guy. And so great that "The" Gene Simmons does this!! Brian is an example!! And hilarious as he shouts as a blind fella "Let me see those hands!" 😂. Beautiful and very well executed!!
THANK YOU for sharing this! It's impossible not to smile through the whole performance. What a dude! And the face on Gene and the guitarist when he starts smashing the first verse...priceless! 😄❤️
This is inspiring and amazing beyond comprehension. Brian is a rock god. Get on stage and kill Dr Love with Gene Simmons? Yeah only rock gods can do that. Rock on Brian!
Brian,superb job. YOU ROCK!!!!!!....all the best from N.Ireland 😀 Fair play to Gene for letting the fans have a go on stage,say what you want about him but not many would do that...he seems to be genuinely enjoying himself.
Such a great video you know what they always follow your dreams awsome performance Brian out standing and who ever gave this a thumbs down shame on you
Kiss was the first band, I ever saw in 1978 and many many times since they put on one hell of a show always but, I have to say this kid did one hell of a job just blew me away… Would it go..🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Well I was a realy big Fan of Kiss since 76 and Kiss was like my "Familie" but after the Psychotour , something died inside me. THIS VIDEO brings back ALL if been searching for since then. Gene , i still love You! @Brian:You kicked Ass!!!
Oh my God, Brian you are fantastic! Such an entertaining and inspirational video. Thank you for this, many greetings from Czech Republic, keep on rocking. Dave

This is straight up Alive II voice right here.
That was what I was thinking, combined with the Smashes, Thrashes, & Hits re-recording
Besides getting to meet Gene, this was the highlight of the night. He did an amazing job
👍 yep 👍
how can we blow this up and make it go viral? Come on KISS fans let's show Brian how much we love him! Any ideas?
raaawkstar sharing on social media, sending to talk show people like Jimmy Fallon, Ellen, etc.
This just freakin Rocks!! People put Gene down and say he's an ass well watch this!! At the end Gene has to wipe the tears from his eyes! I say he is a good dude and will always be one of my very first Rock Hero's and inspirations!!!!!

genes in on the joke yes he is arrogant but is actually good guy
Man, that first verse he sings blew me away.
look at Gene's face when he started singing
I've never seen Gene so happy! Totally awesome!!

exactly
Wow, he sounds just like him! What a cool moment; can only imagine what that felt like. Gene was loving it.
NightWarriorAlive see gene in the background smiling, the look on Gene's face when he sang the first note is priceless,
I was at the show and have to say Brian did an amazing job!! He was a great inspiration! AWESOME!!
This is the best time I have ever seen or heard a fan onstage with a band.
Best part is the look of sheer enjoyment on Gene's face, his smile, throughout the entire song! Oh and Brian's "...Oooooooooooh" @3:26. Awesome!
When I need a feel good smile I come back to this. Outstanding
