This is a KISS show I would love to see.. playing songs that are not the norm with just the hits.. let's hear all the other songs that aren't as mainstream.. and only ones you would know if you listened to the entire album.
This is such an underrated song, sounds even better drop-tuned live here! Unmasked is a solid album, a couple of poor tracks but some excellent ones too! \m/
@ELTEL1100 Yeah, it's hard when you're younger to enjoy what you want when so many kids like other things and can make fun of you for it! I copped a lot of stick in school for loving KISS, just rock music in general, since everyone is into shitty rap and drill these days. Always stick to what you love and have a good time, no matter what people say, is the moral of the story!
unmasked, the first kiss album i listened to. Many dislike it, i love it, 2nd fav album by KISS, and Is that you is my 2nd favorite song by them. Great to see this video.
I like how they tuned it down for Paul’s voice. No shame in that IMO; we all get older (if we’re lucky). Voices change; not much you can do about that.
On TH-cam there is a much better, more exciting, upbeat, rockin’ version of this song from the Unmasked tour from Sydney, Australia, 1980. Listen for the long note Paul holds at the very end of the song.
metal guitarplayer comments: The 1st song from Unmasked. I was recently wondering if I would ever see Kiss or sort of Kiss play Is That You live. How about Naked City?
@@jondunmore4268 Not hate.Kiss has been basically playing the same song live the last 20 years,With a few changes here and there. That's called paint by numbers in my book. They have a lot of good songs that they don't play.
@@johnnyguitar6639 -- You forget about the KISS Kruises, where they played tons of deep cuts all the time, during their afternoon shows on deck in jeans, and also during their night shows on the makeup stage. Yes, it's unfortunate that for the tours, they stick to pretty much the same songs.
I must say Tommy does always do a descent joy on all the solo's. He plays them like the were originally on the record. Not like Vinnie who ruined every solo by putting his own interpretation.
I love all the arm chair musician comments about drop d and the Paul’s voice why can’t you just enjoy it no band play s in the right tuning live that’s Beauty of live music 🤷🏻♂️
I played in bands from 16 till 61..Boy Kiss fans are So prickly if you dare mention about Paul's voice being completely shot! It's nobody's fault! But miming to backing tracks got Milli Vanilli cancelled! BTW I've been a Kiss fan since Destroyer 1976!
This is a song is one where the tuned down version of it almost makes it unrecognizable. I like the attempt...but to me it needs to stay tuned where it normally is. It’s just too low.
People put a lot of shit on kizz and some of their albums I think they should realise when you have been around as long as these guys the batting average isn't to shabby cheers
A lot of these songs sound so much better live .....Unmasked was such a good album but was produced like crap with that pop sound. I would love for them to take the vocal tracks and add them to a heavy metal type mix.
I loved his alive III style. He kicked ass, making the live feel more modern and flashy but seriously grooving still. I wonder if he was told to go more basic Peter style later on or if he made that move himself. I think he’s my favorite Kiss drummer but, yeah, he changed later on. I just watched live Badlands clips and damn was he on fire.
Eric Singer looks so uninterested in playing the drums everytime I see him in any KISS video anymore. Maybe they just catch him at the worst times... Dont know.
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no I've heard his version a few years ago. it's not bad. what Kiss did is polished it up and add a bit a new coat of paint over it. Unmasked took a ton of flack after the Dynasty album was overshadowed by one song that angers fans. the Elder I believe was a bit of a misfire. Creatures is what Kiss should have done after Unmasked. Kiss spent almost five years experimenting. the silly made for tv movie, the over ambitious solo albums. dabbling in disco, power pop, and a concept album really alienated fans
"Only who doesn't work makes no mistakes". The Elder can never be a misfire, it's a very beautiful album. And the one song that angers the fans? Why, such a beautiful song. And when KISS "buy" a song (Is That You?) and Paul is singing it with his Rockvoice than IT IS A REAL KISS SONG This is my way of thinking. But thank you anyway. 😊
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no the elders had a lot of problems. the produce was on drugs at the time, Ace wasn't exactly thrilled about the project. Eric had no say on the whole thing since he was not an original member. heck I wish they went ahead of did a an album with the four tracks they included in the Killers compilation album. don't get me wrong. Elders was a good album but fans hated it back then. Paul had admitted some regrets about the album in his book. I didn't mind taking risk but after a few blunders fans were moving on. the non make up era kind of save their asses. I was made for loving you off of Dynasty turned alot of die hard fans off. the reason why I believe elders was a misfire was it was a mess of a project behind the scene wise. fans didn't like it until like a decade or so later when the fans began to give another second or third shot at it. same with Unmasked.
I think Eric Singer is great, but he messes this one up completely. The original drum track by Anton Fig is so much stronger. Eric keeps the pace/rythm here, but that's about it.
I don't care what people say...."Unmasked" rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not rules but way better than dynasty.
It absolutely rules! Most relistenable KISS album, IMHO
Oh boy Paul that body gets my heart rate right up ❤️💋🔥🔥
YES! Unmasked was my first KISS album.
Great album. Great production. Naked City is a fantastic gene tune!
One of my favorite KISS songs!! So cool to see it being played again!
Love the song, but I believe it is a cover song
@@kmgntv No, this one's theirs.
@@salbro5985 no.. it's a cover song.
@@eduklipps Technically, yes it is, from a demo song.
@@salbro5985 kiss did not write this song.
Good to hear deep cuts instead of the same material for the last 30 years
Fun to hear this track live outside of the legendary version from the 1980 Australia tour !
I was at the Sydney show my first ever concert I was 14 years old
This is a KISS show I would love to see.. playing songs that are not the norm with just the hits.. let's hear all the other songs that aren't as mainstream.. and only ones you would know if you listened to the entire album.
Was the whole point of the cruises lol.
This is such an underrated song, sounds even better drop-tuned live here! Unmasked is a solid album, a couple of poor tracks but some excellent ones too! \m/
That album is a guilty pleasure.
Naked City is the best imo.
@@jondunmore4268
I agree now!... But as a 19 year old rocker I cringed as my mates laughed at 'those clown pop stars!'
@ELTEL1100 Yeah, it's hard when you're younger to enjoy what you want when so many kids like other things and can make fun of you for it!

On Unmasked Is That You
is tuneddown 1 halfstep
to Eb
Didn’t really care for this song originally, but it has grown on me over the decades.
I love this song and it's one that I never saw KISS play live.
Always loved this song. Never saw it performed live so greatly enjoyed this video.
One of my favorite albums and one of the best songs of said album!
unmasked, the first kiss album i listened to. Many dislike it, i love it, 2nd fav album by KISS, and Is that you is my 2nd favorite song by them. Great to see this video.
I love 'Unmasked'. What a great album!
One of my favorite covers that they've done
Unmasked is a fantastic KISS CD. Dynasty and Unmasked both go hand in hand.❤ Awesome back to back releases.
Always loved the attitude of this song
I like how they tuned it down for Paul’s voice. No shame in that IMO; we all get older (if we’re lucky). Voices change; not much you can do about that.
A lot of bands are doing that.Have been for years.I don't know if AC/DC did when Axl sang for them.🤷♂️
Uno de mis tenas favoritos de kiss....!!!
i love this song i love unmaked album
Con la de temas que tienen tan buenos,esto es una muestra,deberían de tocar más temas que tienen en la cajonera
I need this song and Uh! All Night in the official live setlist!! Are two son subvalored song
Paul sounds pretty decent!
Agreed! Was much better rested on the Kruises
This was amazing!
This was my favorite song off "Unmasked"
Songs of these earlier albums like unmasked and dressed kill should be played in their farewell tour , it would be full circle .
This Christmas...Chia Kiss...you know you like it Gene! 🙂
I always liked this tune
This is another one they didn’t play live on their set so many good songs.
I wanna go on Kiss Kruise so bad but it's so expensive
Kiss Rules!!
Sounds better than the studio version!
On TH-cam there is a much better, more exciting, upbeat, rockin’ version of this song from the Unmasked tour from Sydney, Australia, 1980. Listen for the long note Paul holds at the very end of the song.

I love this movie.
One of the most powerful song they have ever performed❤
awesome
If you like this one, there's more footage on my channel.
Why doesn’t a song like

I must say Tommy does always do a descent joy on all the solo's. He plays them like the were originally on the record. Not like Vinnie who ruined every solo by putting his own interpretation.
So I guess you have to spend five grand or so for the Kiss cruise to hear a great set list.
Close but more like they charge 5 grand and play these after the fact - not like they advertise these obscure setlists to sell the tickets.
I just realized that the chorus with the answering vocals is somewhat similar to Help! by the Beatles.
Nothing like it.
Good Performance.
Gene wearing wrong boots. Love gun boots go with the 82 costume.
Codpiece is totally wrong too. And of course the main part is hiding his belly. The whole thing is totally off.
I love all the arm chair musician comments about drop d and the Paul’s voice why can’t you just enjoy it no band play s in the right tuning live that’s Beauty of live music 🤷🏻♂️

YES BUT MR ERIC SINGER IS BEST !! THANKS!!! THE BEST DRUM MASTER !!!
As the biggest KISS Fan ever I think it would have been better if Gene sang the lead vocals.....😮
Y no la cantan desde 1980
KISS’ final tour set list should be 50 songs long.
Ya with Paul silent screaming on the floor
@@dr.darkroom😂
Lick it up lick it up..sorry..same song three years later.
A "heavier" version than on the album. But Eric is so cool, too cool maybe?
Is he absent?-
👏👏🙌🙏❤️😎🥰🤟🙏💗
We need to chat
so fast! oh, I had the speed up XD never mind. hey, at 1.25 speed it's not bad, ramonesy.
A lot of these songs sound so much better live .....Unmasked was such a good album but was produced like crap with that pop sound. I would love for them to take the vocal tracks and add them to a heavy metal type mix.
Now that KISS is over
Gene should get a band
With Eric Bruce And a good high pitch singer...better than Tod
The verses are rocking... then the brigde is kinda hokey ...but the chorus and lead bring it back ...
🩵🤍🩵🇦🇷
3:26
Shouldn’t Eric be wearing the Fox makeup?😜
😂
Even though this was the beginning of Paul's voice going . . . he still could have sung this song in E. It just sounds weird to me in D.
Yes but the other songs are harder so if they were still in Eb tuning other songs would be hard to sing.
KISS Kruise VI was the real start, for me.
His voice was going way before this. Hints of it can be heard 2007ish
@@paullukasik8698I agree! You can hear it starting on his Live to Win solo album.
"Ace" looks more like Zal Cleminson from "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" than Tommy Thayer
Eric just always seems so bored. I just dont feel a groove in his playing anymore
I loved his alive III style. He kicked ass, making the live feel more modern and flashy but seriously grooving still.

almost unrecognizable
Isn't sounds without Eric Carr on drums
Carr only played this live. On album, this was all Anton Fig.
ISNT SOUNDS WITH MR FIG
Maybe the guys talking about the live version?
Eric Singer looks so uninterested in playing the drums everytime I see him in any KISS video anymore. Maybe they just catch him at the worst times... Dont know.
You mean to say he's...loookin' haaalfwaaay deeeead 3:20 😂
for those don't know, this isn't really a real kiss song since it was not written by any member of kiss.
LOL😂 WELL IT IS TONITE !!!! ITS WORLD FAMOUS KISS!!!!!
KISS made the songwriter world famous. Gerard McMahon, he said he will be eternally grateful.
That they made his song a KISS-SONG..

Does it really take a double bass drumset and 20 bodies to play this song?
20 bodies?
@@MarceloRomero360SHE IS SOOOOOO JEALOUS 😂
Who are the 20 bodies?
is that you? sounding half way hoarse?
is that you? sounding like you don't know the tempo of the song?
is that you? ace and peter? or imposters?
is that you? sounding like you're tuned a full step down
THEHEARTBREAKKID71 Is that you in half of a band?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 totally right.
God their tuning is so low it doesn't even sound anything like the song at all.
I think Eric Singer is great, but he messes this one up completely. The original drum track by Anton Fig is so much stronger. Eric keeps the pace/rythm here, but that's about it.
Is this the death metal version? Sounds totally wrong.
It is. I killed myself watching this
Its nice to hear songs from this album. But the album itself sucks. Fortunately they outdid themselves with The Elder. That one was worse.
Rock died the second Paul started wearing the wig lol
Paul never wore a wig, only that he sponges a lot of hair to make it look like he has a lot of hair
@@feliperodriguez5034 = clueless!

Paul wears a lace front wig. Look at pictures and see for yourself if you're savvy enough. Peter puffers

Totally played in the wrong key and half assed
It’s called tuning down🤦🏻
Sounds more like tuning out.

GENE PLAYS IN KISS NOT YOUR TRIBUTE GROUP LOL😂 AHHHH DUMB COMMENT
It looks like lip sync to me. Paul's mouth doesn't match the song at the beginning.
puke🤮
Act your age,get off the stage,Paul.
Sounds crap without Peter and Ace.
Johnny Marlin Yeah, Peter is a WAY better drummer than Eric Singer. Damn it was hard typing that with a straight face!
Peter and Ace didn't even play on this off Unmasked. Anton Fig drums, Paul guitars including solo.
made my day!
learn your kisstory
Johnny Marlin Hilarious that you made that post without knowing neither of them played on this song. Idiot.
