Paul Stanley, the singer of this song, said that writing a hit Disco song was easy. So someone bet him he couldn't do it. 1 hrs later he had written this song, they recorded it and it went to #1 on the Disco Charts in 3 countries and in the top 10 in 14 other countries.
@@tonyapoindexter2781 By saying "They were smart enough to let their music evolve with the crowds," I suppose you mean Kiss understood that to be a success in the music business, you must play the kinds of music people will actually want to listen to, dance to, & buy. As a musical artist begins widening out into other styles of music, I think the things which should never change are the ingredients which make music _authentic:_ creative originality, love, passion, & sincerity. _Authenticity_ is the key, because that is what the Public responds to Ive been playing electric bass & acoustic guitar for 23 years. 7 piece drums for half as long. So I speak not as a Kiss devotee, but as a 70s child who witnessed the rise of Kiss, Gerry Rafferty, Rita Coolidge, A Taste of Honey, George Benson, KC & the Sunshine Band, the Eagles, Michael Martin Murphey, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Diamond & many others. From the Jazz/ Orchestral world there are also Barry Manilow, Andy Williams, Tony Bennett, The Living Strings, Paul Mauriat, Syd Lawrence, Ronnie Verrell, Gene Krupa, & Floyd Cramer. It was the Easy Listening age, & the age of Soft Rock, too. Not just an age of meteoric pop bands
@@magnificentmuttley154I agree, as I too was brought up in a family of musicians, I woke up, slept with the sound of live music being played, practiced and echoing throughout the house. I was aware of the music in it's time, I remember watching the Elvis comeback special as it was being aired on TV. I remember my Uncle stopping by to see if my older brothers were going to this thing called Woodstock 😂. My earliest memories revolve around music, that is why it is key that people expose their children to some type of music early. It is associated to memory recall. A variety aids in personal growth, just as it is important for musicians to learn every genre. It allows the artist to develop a more broad range of style they can form to create and stay fresh. If you only do one thing, one style then that's where you stay, and that is where you will be, on time you will be left behind, you grow stagnant. I think we are in agreement.😊
@@magnificentmuttley154 but this is not always the case.the 2 founding members of X Japan saw Kiss in concert and that inspired them to form a band. When they started they had the punk/Glam Rock style, and were rejected in Japan, but they stayed with it and became the biggest rock band in Japanese history. They didn't change to suit the audience, the audience came around to them.
*@Gerard Cote* 🎯 Excellent point! Sometimes you just gotta grow on people- - - just like mold. Lol! Im not even a Kiss fan. I never liked them. They gave me the creeps when I was a kid, & 44 years later they _STILL_ give me the creeps! Nevertheless, as a musician I respect their ability to change their musical style, to reach a different audience If I understand their history correctly, "Beth" was their first hit (1976-77). Unlike a more dominant hard rock style that would become apparent later, Beth was a number meant to break them into soft rock radio & mix stations. Evidently Gene & Paul thought it more practical to have their first breakthrough hit that way, than to go up against far tougher competition. Everyone from Boston, to Kansas, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Steve Miller, Journey, The Cars, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Foreigner, Gerry Rafferty, Billy Joel, etc They could produce a hit later on to break into what they wanted to be their dominant musical catagory. The important thing was to get started with that first hit. And their plan worked. I dont know the chart rankings, but I was there to witness that Beth was played on both soft rock & on mixed music radio. True to the practice of easy listening radio, once Beth had become a familiar song that first year, we would hear the Living Strings' contemporary orchestra version of Beth. I have that album *EDIT:* Upon further investigation actually "Beth" is Kiss' third career hit, following behind "Nothing to Lose" & "Rock 'n Roll All Nite." Thats 1976, 1974, & 1975, respectively. Furthermore Ive been told by a knowledgeable fan that a DJ played "Beth" by accident on the B side of a 45, & thats how it became a hit. So it wasnt by strategy or design that they found their song accepted into mix stations, soft rock, & eventually easy listening radio
Fellas Kiss (stylized as KIϟϟ) is an American rock band formed in New York City in 1973 by Paul Stanley (vocals, rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals, bass), Ace Frehley (lead guitar, vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, vocals). Known for their face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-1970s with shock rock-style live performances, which featured fire-breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics. The band has gone through several lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons remaining the only consistent members. The original and best-known lineup consisted of Stanley, Simmons, Frehley, and Criss. Here R the names of the costume makeup, Paul Stanley as Starchild; Gene Simmons as The Demon; Ace Frehley as Space Ace & Peter Criss as Catman. They also perform without their makeup.
Gene Simmons, the bass player for KISS, found a little bar band in L.A. with an amazing guitar player and crazy front man. He decided to help them create a demo tape. That band was called Van Halen. KISS had their fingers on the pulse of the music industry in this era.
Slash also auditioned to replace Ace, but Paul thought he was too young at 17. Paul also apparently introduced Desmond Child, who co-wrote this song with Paul, to Jon Bon Jovi, and they went on to co-write some of Bon Jovi’s biggest hits. They both have a great eye for talent.
Old line KISS fans hated this song...but in reality this song absolutely rocks live! When the pyros and flash pots go off at the end of this song live...it literally shakes the rafters on the arena! You can feel it in your chest!
I grew up in the 80's KISS, i love these MTV songs. Uh all Night is my favorite KISS song. And i do know the 70's KISS well too, nothing bad about that.
Bro my first ever concert was KISS, the firework guitar stunt set our rafters on fire and they had to lower it to put the fire out WHILE THEY KEPT ON PLAYING
I agree! By that point in time "pure" disco was really starting to suck - "Push Push In The Bush" anyone? KISS, Queen, Bad Company, Sweet, and other rock bands who dabbled in danceable music gave the genre a much-needed second wind.
i remember this song playing at my uncles funeral in 2019. kiss was his favourite band, i remember him standing up and dancing every time he heard this song. R.I.P Uncle Glenn
There's a clip of KISS performing live, and pyrotechnics behind Ace Frehley catch his hair on fire. Fire is shooting high, but he never stopped singing or playing, even when he gets blasted with a fire extinguisher! It's the most bad ass Rock N Roll moment you'll ever see!
I just LOVE you guys!! Please keep doing this. It gives me life seeing you guys discover songs that have been part of my life for as long as 45 years. I LOVE it!!!!
This is one of my favs from Kiss. Yes, Kiss is very professional. Gene, who runs the band, is very business savy. Knows his stuff and when certain members of the band got into drugs/alcohol, they were fired. He has built a business empire. I just heard a song I haven't heard in a while you might be interested in. The band is Steelheart and the song is Never Let You go. Some crazy vocals!
Kiss are real chameleons, they've done all kinds of rock subgenres. From pop-rock, disco-rock like this, old school 70's rock n roll, 80's hair metal, to really heavy stuff
@@metaphoria3 me too, much great stuff. Only wish Crazy Nights and Asylum had way better mixes/production. Basicly no bottom exists. Almost just treble and weak mids. I'm sure there are third party remasters circulating out there though. But really wish Kiss would do new mixes and remaster them again!
It was the 1970’s. This look was known as glam rock. Kiss was the only rock bank that wore makeup and wore outrageous over the top wardrobes and platform boots in music history. One one ever copied their look. They were the originals. ❤ Awesome track. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Don't forget Alice Cooper, and David Bowie rocked the make up as well at times. Guess you also forgot Twisted Sister. And to be completely honest Kiss stole the Face Painting from Arthur Brown, and his legendary "Corpse Paint" in the 60's. Sensational Alex Harvey Band guitarist Zal Cleminson did the Clown motif Face Paint in the 70's, and in the Punk scene same era was the Skull Face Paint of The Misfits. More in the 80's picked it up Now KISS were the most famous, and the only reason I know this is I am as old as dust, and did record reviews in the mid to 70's to 80's so got most of the new releases. LOL.
I happened upon this video on accident but y’all’s reactions are killin me!! I knew y’all were hooked at “RUN THAT BACK!!” and I’m glad y’all enjoy this song! One of my personal favorite KISS songs is Detroit Rock City but once again- I’m glad y’all enjoyed this one! Lol
The same occurred to me, i got here acccidentally. I liked their reaction. It was the same my then 5 or 6 yo son had when listening to this song. He is now 15 and still enjoys this kind of music.
Kiss was my first concert in ‘77. They were the last concert I saw right before the pandemic shut everything down, and the first one when everything opened back up. Rock and Roll All Night, Detroit Rock City are two to bangers and Beth is completely different, but worth the listen! There are so many more songs I could recommend.
Kiss was an iconic band, who had so many hits. They won numerous awards, and had a cult following. They are in the Rock and Roll hall.of fame. Y'all need to react to some Isley Brothers and some Earth Wind and Fire. Just start out listening to Earth Wind and Fire and The Isley Brothers. You can just pick any song by the two bands listed and it is guaranteed that y'all will enjoy it.
I had 3 of their albums back in the day. I was about your ages when this came out. I was in my late 20's when a lady where I worked was desperate to find anything from Kiss to give to her son for his Birthday. I wasn't listening to them much then so I gave them to her for her Son. I thought she was going to cry.
70s KISS all the way baby 70s Areosmith 70s Heart 70s ACDC 70s Queen, 70s Van Halen .70s Boston .70s Kansas 70s Cars 70s Police70s Eagles/ 70s ABBA 70s Pink Floyd .70s Rush 70s Deep Purple 70s Led Zeppelin
You guys should see them live. They have one of the best shows. I started going to their concerts in 1982. Saw them last in 2019. I even introduced my children and grandchildren to them. My daughter has been going to their concerts with me since 1998.
They also have "Rock & Roll All Night", "Detroit Rock City","Beth", and "Lick It Up" plus many more great songs(Rock&Roll All Night is 1 you might have all heard but dont know it). Thank you guys for reacting to KISS!!! You didnt get stuck on the makeup, thank you again for being so open minded, GREAT REACTION guys!!!
Their most catchy classics are: Love gun, Detroit Rock City, shout it out loud. Their anthem is "Rock n Roll all Nite". And if you want a ballad go with "Beth". Many people including myself really love their heavier stuff from the albums "Creatures of the Night" and "Lick it Up". My favs.
Watching all you rocking it out, head bopping & feeling the beat is amazing to see & funny as hell!! Seeing the shock on your faces of just how good old school tunes actually are made me giggle!! Now you get what true classic bangers really sound like!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Luv from England fellas 🏴 💜
KISS has been my favorite band since I was a kid , I've been in the KISS ARMY now for 30 years 🖤 Gene was my first crush his real name is Chaim Witz he was born in Israel and came to America once he was here he changed his name to Eugene Klein and after awhile just went by Gene Klein which was his mother's maiden name. In the 70s he changed it to Gene Simmons after the rockabilly star jumping Gene Simmons and it stuck 🖤
This was fun. 🥰 I actually love that song. A lot of kiss fans don’t. But you can’t help but keep singing it. You guys should check out Bob Seger I don’t see on any of your lists that you’ve reacted to him yet. Maybe it’s because you already know who he is? I recommend the song “turn the page”
A lot of Kiss fans are idiots who hopped the disco hate train and subscribe to rock and metal's worst elitist bullshit tendencies. Fuck 'em...And fuck Gene Simmons, but that's neither here nor there.
I can't believe you guys haven't heard this song before! I went and saw them live in September 2022 and had front row tickets. They sure know how to put on a good show. Love this band. ♥
First rock album I ever had Kiss Alive! And I am proud to be in the Kiss Army forever! By the way I am 62 this year! Rock lives forever 👊🏻 ! Best light show in concert and I’ve seen Pink Floyd and thought Kiss was better light show.
I love you guys. You crack me up. The brother on the far right, with the glasses, dude, you had me laughing so hard at the beginning. Keep the videos coming.
Great reaction. This was before they unmasked, they refused to be photographed without makeup until afterwards. Try early KISS at Cobo Hall Detroit 1976, "She", or "Black Diamond". Vintage performance. ✌
Domino and Lick It Up are 2 of their best songs IMO, that hardly ever get mentioned. Hope you eventually react to them. For a beautiful ballad try, Everytime I Look At You, from the unplugged concert.
I think this is the first reaction I’ve seen where y’all just let the song play without stopping to comment. This just shows how good this song and band are!
Absolutely enjoyed watching this 😂😂🙌🏻 Super cool Ross’ vibe and Brandon’s groovy “white nerdy guy at the office parties” dance moves.. you guys nailed it with your reactions 🙌🏻 Well done fellas 😂
I grew up during the time that Kiss was starting and there wasn’t anything like their music at the time. It was a very unique sound. I really like their songs. They never get old to me no matter how many times I hear them.
its great you guys are checking out this group, you should go down the rabbit whole and check out the rest of their earlier songs. so many bands tried to copy kiss but nobody will ever get close to them. for years nobody even knew what their real faces looked like and when they actually showed the world their face it was epic
You guys are my favourites for reactions 😂 😃 It never matters how many times I have heard a song, experiencing it with you all feels like I am in the room with you and I love it !!!! True story, the first time I heard this song on the radio I thought it was a black man singing, thought it was a funk/disco act from the mid 70s I had never heard of, had no idea it was KISS 😂😄 .....they painted their faces to make themselves annoymous, yet also stand out against everyone else.. there will only ever be one KISS ! Thanks for a great reaction video, I loved it as much as you all did 🥰😍
Its so unbelievable fuckin great watching you guys reacting … being open and enjoying any kind of music as long as you feeling it! The world would be so much better if we all be that open without any prejudices! Thanks so much for that!
Great band and they turned KISS into a rock and roll empire like no one else before them, but there are definitely some better songs of theirs you guys should react to. I Love it Loud, Love Gun, Deuce, Detroit Rock City to name a few. You will recognize Strutter from the early Guitar Hero games as well.
I'm SO glad you all did KISS!! And even more so that you enjoyed them! They're way more versatile than people think at first glance. A couple other great examples of their diversity are Detroit Rock City, Tears Are Falling, and Beth. Would love to see you all experience those!! Also, I about died laughing when y'all said 'they look like superheros' because they actually DID do a very cheesy film called KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, where they basically were superheros. It's awful, but kind of in an 'it's so bad, it's good' kinda way. At least to me. Now that would be a fun react lol!!
I saw KISS with my cousin a couple years ago. It’s his favorite band. He’s probably seen them 100 times. Lol 😂 They were AWESOME! Y’all need to react to “I Love It Loud”. That’s one of my favorites by them. Also, Heaven’s on Fire, Beth, and there’s just so many songs to react to. 🤩
I loved watching you guys grooving to this song. I remember this song coming out while I was in high school and I was just like you guys the first time I heard this
Loved your reaction,been watching your videos lately, for the guy who was talking about Gene Simmons, his thing wasn't drugs or alcohol,but sex! A lot of their songs have to do with sex,also Gene loved comic books and there was even a marvel Kiss comic ,they poured their own real blood into the red ink for the comic!
Hey fam, this is my first time joining you. I am totally floored by the conceptual nature of your content! It is honestly REFRESHING to see how y’all step outside of your cultural “wheel house” to give your opinions of various pop culture figures in America. It’s like a more intelligent and open minded Beavis and Butthead (I made sure I qualified that before I made the comparison!!!) and that’s definitely a GOOD thing! I sincerely look forward to watching more of your videos. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
When I was in junior high in the '70's this band came out.... you would see kids go to school with the painted faces, plattform shoes.... hahahaha memories
Kiss appeared on early episodes of The Oprah Show. Oprah asked Gene Simmons how long his tongue was. His reply "Long enough to make me your very closest friend." Oprah went beet red. It was an awesome moment.
KISS was my first concert when I was 16. It was right when they first BLEW up. Guys please do some more songs. This song was some kind of bet or something about them being able to make a Disco song. It was also right when disco blew up. This song was pop compared to most of their music. FYI Ted Nugent never drank or did any drugs
My very first concert I ever went to was KIZZ in Wichita, KS 1977, it was so exciting, packed to the fullest & so loud that afterwards our ears rang forever!
KISS has a ton of great songs and all the Haters just wish they had that KISS money instead of chump change in their pockets!😂 Strutter, Heavens on Fire, Unholy, Charisma, Lick it up, 2000 Man. There's so many great songs to list. I would say just start from the beginning and do Album reviews with them.
This is the point that KISS lost a lot of their fan base. In this song, they went full disco. It turned a lot of their fans off. You guys should check out their songs from 1974 to 1977 - they rocked out big time.
You really NEED to dig deep into KISS. Lots of great rock songs. Live performances are off the charts. Gene spits blood and spits fire. Ace's guitar smokes and shoots fireworks. Peter's drum kit rises. They wanted to be the band they never saw. Only Gene and Paul never drank or did drugs. Ace and Peter did so much that they were kicked out the band and replaced. There is so much to this band you don't even know. They are, by far, the best live band ever.
@@4rl0ng Deuce 1974 Black Diamond 1974 C'mon and Love Me 1975 Rock and Roll All Nite 1975 Detroit Rock City 1976 God of Thunder 1976 Beth 1976 Love Gun 1977 I Love it Loud 1982 Lick It Up 1983 Detroit Rock City, they always open with that song. Find a LIVE performance. Actually find a live performance of anything KISS.

This song is infinitely better than that overrated ass 'Rock & Roll All Night' that usually gets played. Facts.
I'm a KISS fan and actually always liked this song . I hate disco too!
Just said how much better this is live b4 i read the comments 🤘🤘

When this song came out Kiss fans were breaking their albums. Kiss went disco, but looking back now, this was a straight banger, for the disco era.
Imbeciles were breaking their albums. The band was already paid. Absolute clown idea of protest.
I agree! By that point in time "pure" disco was really starting to suck - "Push Push In The Bush" anyone? KISS, Queen, Bad Company, Sweet, and other rock bands who dabbled in danceable music gave the genre a much-needed second wind.

Kiss was my very 1st concert in the late 70's. They rock!!!! Always a great show
One of my favorite concerts. They weren't in make up
Me too 😊
Wicked az Mary!
Was my first concert in 2000's. Was in Michigan outside.
Mine too!
This is KISS 's infamous 'disco' song. We're happy it's not what most of their music sounds like but most of us still love it!
This song is much harder than "I want to rock and roll all night." This song rocks and it says to me, they are defiantly the Masters of Rock.
@@Bellawhite1 True
I think it just took some time for the old fans to come around with this one. It was different but a great song!
Even way better live even in their 70’s they rock!!!❤❤❤❤❤
There's a clip of KISS performing live, and pyrotechnics behind Ace Frehley catch his hair on fire. Fire is shooting high, but he never stopped singing or playing, even when he gets blasted with a fire extinguisher!
It's the most bad ass Rock N Roll moment you'll ever see!
Kiss Detroit rock city and rock and roll all nite are my favourites I highly recommend you give them a listen
I just LOVE you guys!! Please keep doing this. It gives me life seeing you guys discover songs that have been part of my life for as long as 45 years. I LOVE it!!!!
This is how good rock and roll was in the BEST DECADE ever 1970s
Kiss Army since I was 14 and I'm 56 now.
Beth and God of Thunder are my two favorite songs.
This is the song that converted me from country to rock. Never looked back. I'm 55. This album was a nuke back in the day.
Detroit Rock City is one of my fav tunes
Rock ON KISS Army
I've been a Kissfreak since I was 12 and I love all their music ✌️

Sensational Alex Harvey Band guitarist Zal Cleminson did the Clown motif Face Paint in the 70's, and in the Punk scene same era was the Skull Face Paint of The Misfits. More in the 80's picked it up
Now KISS were the most famous, and the only reason I know this is I am as old as dust, and did record reviews in the mid to 70's to 80's so got most of the new releases. LOL.
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars were before KISS.😅
Kiss did full makeup. No one knew who they were. Yes other band wore makeup but not full face
This song came out when I was 15 & I had been a KISS fan in the '70s but this is what we called KISS disco ✌❤🩹☮
KISSCO
The Most underrated band (musically) ever!
I happened upon this video on accident but y’all’s reactions are killin me!! I knew y’all were hooked at “RUN THAT BACK!!” and I’m glad y’all enjoy this song! One of my personal favorite KISS songs is Detroit Rock City but once again- I’m glad y’all enjoyed this one! Lol
The same occurred to me, i got here acccidentally. I liked their reaction. It was the same my then 5 or 6 yo son had when listening to this song. He is now 15 and still enjoys this kind of music.
Kiss was my first concert in ‘77. They were the last concert I saw right before the pandemic shut everything down, and the first one when everything opened back up. Rock and Roll All Night, Detroit Rock City are two to bangers and Beth is completely different, but worth the listen! There are so many more songs I could recommend.
There was a pandemic in 77?!
Long time between concerts.
Kiss was an iconic band, who had so many hits. They won numerous awards, and had a cult following. They are in the Rock and Roll hall.of fame. Y'all need to react to some Isley Brothers and some Earth Wind and Fire. Just start out listening to Earth Wind and Fire and The Isley Brothers. You can just pick any song by the two bands listed and it is guaranteed that y'all will enjoy it.
I had 3 of their albums back in the day. I was about your ages when this came out. I was in my late 20's when a lady where I worked was desperate to find anything from Kiss to give to her son for his Birthday. I wasn't listening to them much then so I gave them to her for her Son. I thought she was going to cry.
Love you guys! Kiss is my favorite group! The 80's and 90's Kiss songs rocked along with their older stuff.
70s KISS all the way baby 70s Areosmith 70s Heart 70s ACDC 70s Queen, 70s Van Halen .70s Boston .70s Kansas 70s Cars 70s Police70s Eagles/ 70s ABBA 70s Pink Floyd .70s Rush 70s Deep Purple 70s Led Zeppelin
You guys should see them live. They have one of the best shows. I started going to their concerts in 1982. Saw them last in 2019. I even introduced my children and grandchildren to them. My daughter has been going to their concerts with me since 1998.
They also have "Rock & Roll All Night", "Detroit Rock City","Beth", and "Lick It Up" plus many more great songs(Rock&Roll All Night is 1 you might have all heard but dont know it). Thank you guys for reacting to KISS!!! You didnt get stuck on the makeup, thank you again for being so open minded, GREAT REACTION guys!!!
Their most catchy classics are: Love gun, Detroit Rock City, shout it out loud.
Their anthem is "Rock n Roll all Nite".
And if you want a ballad go with "Beth".
Many people including myself really love their heavier stuff from the albums "Creatures of the Night" and "Lick it Up". My favs.
Watching all you rocking it out, head bopping & feeling the beat is amazing to see & funny as hell!! Seeing the shock on your faces of just how good old school tunes actually are made me giggle!! Now you get what true classic bangers really sound like!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Luv from England fellas 🏴 💜
KISS has been my favorite band since I was a kid , I've been in the KISS ARMY now for 30 years 🖤 Gene was my first crush his real name is Chaim Witz he was born in Israel and came to America once he was here he changed his name to Eugene Klein and after awhile just went by Gene Klein which was his mother's maiden name. In the 70s he changed it to Gene Simmons after the rockabilly star jumping Gene Simmons and it stuck 🖤
This was fun. 🥰 I actually love that song. A lot of kiss fans don’t. But you can’t help but keep singing it. You guys should check out Bob Seger I don’t see on any of your lists that you’ve reacted to him yet. Maybe it’s because you already know who he is? I recommend the song “turn the page”
Yes! I think they’ll LOVE Seger! Beautiful loser would be awesome for them.
A lot of Kiss fans are idiots who hopped the disco hate train and subscribe to rock and metal's worst elitist bullshit tendencies. Fuck 'em...And fuck Gene Simmons, but that's neither here nor there.
I can't believe you guys haven't heard this song before! I went and saw them live in September 2022 and had front row tickets. They sure know how to put on a good show. Love this band. ♥
First rock album I ever had Kiss Alive! And I am proud to be in the Kiss Army forever! By the way I am 62 this year! Rock lives forever 👊🏻 ! Best light show in concert and I’ve seen Pink Floyd and thought Kiss was better light show.
Their comic books were sick too 🤘🔥 glad you enjoyed them, KISS is the s**t!!
Comic books, lunch boxes, you name it.
Kiss is an amazing and very entertaining band!!! Loved how you guys enjoyed it😂❤👍
LOVE KISS!!! Always and forever.
I was 8 when I got the Dynasty album- it was my first "grown up" record. I've owned it on vinyl, cassette, CD, and MP3 and still love it.
I love you guys. You crack me up. The brother on the far right, with the glasses, dude, you had me laughing so hard at the beginning. Keep the videos coming.
Great reaction. This was before they unmasked, they refused to be photographed without makeup until afterwards.
Try early KISS at Cobo Hall Detroit 1976,
"She", or "Black Diamond". Vintage performance. ✌
I love how you guys each have your own unique personality. Love the fire extinguisher too!
Loving the love y'all given to Classic Rock Bands.. much respect
"Lick It Up" is another great song by KISS. Definitely worth a listen...
Domino and Lick It Up are 2 of their best songs IMO, that hardly ever get mentioned. Hope you eventually react to them. For a beautiful ballad try, Everytime I Look At You, from the unplugged concert.
When I saw the title I click it so fast- I been listing to kiss ever since I was that dang Scooby Doo movie thing with kiss in it
I loved that movie too and that’s why I clicked this video😂
So proud of ya'll! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Its so amazing to see people for the first time seeing how much range that Paul had in his voice.
I love the way you guys are just so INTO THIS!! KISS IS AWESOME 😘😘💋💋You guys are awesome
KISS is amazing! Check out Calling Dr. Love, Shout It Out Loud, Hotter Than Hell, and you might know this one from Guitar Hero...Strutter!! 🔥🔥
Love this song! Thanks for playing it! You just got to love Kiss
I saw Kiss back in the 80's. What a spectacle! I love the way you all have such open minds to all music! I love watching your responses!
I'm so happy you finally gave KISS a try...stick with older songs...but they are all good!
God gave rock and roll to you ,I love it loud
OMG...this was frickin awesome watching you all jam to this great song by an amazing band!!!! Just love your reaction!!
I catch so much heat for this and “Beth” being my fav Kiss songs
Awesome song this is one reason they are one of the top rock bands ever
You guys crack me up! I have been a KISS fan for 40 years. I love how you're enjoying this. I hope you're reaction is genuine.
I think this is the first reaction I’ve seen where y’all just let the song play without stopping to comment. This just shows how good this song and band are!
Great you guys are diving into KISS. I would recommend Detroit Rock City and God Of Thunder!
Absolutely enjoyed watching this 😂😂🙌🏻 Super cool Ross’ vibe and Brandon’s groovy “white nerdy guy at the office parties” dance moves.. you guys nailed it with your reactions 🙌🏻 Well done fellas 😂
I grew up during the time that Kiss was starting and there wasn’t anything like their music at the time. It was a very unique sound. I really like their songs. They never get old to me no matter how many times I hear them.
its great you guys are checking out this group, you should go down the rabbit whole and check out the rest of their earlier songs. so many bands tried to copy kiss but nobody will ever get close to them. for years nobody even knew what their real faces looked like and when they actually showed the world their face it was epic
You guys are my favourites for reactions 😂 😃 It never matters how many times I have heard a song, experiencing it with you all feels like I am in the room with you and I love it !!!!
True story, the first time I heard this song on the radio I thought it was a black man singing, thought it was a funk/disco act from the mid 70s I had never heard of, had no idea it was KISS 😂😄
.....they painted their faces to make themselves annoymous, yet also stand out against everyone else.. there will only ever be one KISS ! Thanks for a great reaction video, I loved it as much as you all did 🥰😍
Kiss Has Some Awesome Songs.. Funky... Dont let the Make Up Fool You.. they are icons and was even on Scooby Doo.. lol..
Y’all are ADORABLE!!!! Thank you for making my heart smile. Much love from Vacaville, California 😊
Its so unbelievable fuckin great watching you guys reacting … being open and enjoying any kind of music as long as you feeling it! The world would be so much better if we all be that open without any prejudices! Thanks so much for that!
Great band and they turned KISS into a rock and roll empire like no one else before them, but there are definitely some better songs of theirs you guys should react to. I Love it Loud, Love Gun, Deuce, Detroit Rock City to name a few. You will recognize Strutter from the early Guitar Hero games as well.
I'm SO glad you all did KISS!! And even more so that you enjoyed them! They're way more versatile than people think at first glance. A couple other great examples of their diversity are Detroit Rock City, Tears Are Falling, and Beth. Would love to see you all experience those!! Also, I about died laughing when y'all said 'they look like superheros' because they actually DID do a very cheesy film called KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, where they basically were superheros. It's awful, but kind of in an 'it's so bad, it's good' kinda way. At least to me. Now that would be a fun react lol!!
I saw KISS with my cousin a couple years ago. It’s his favorite band. He’s probably seen them 100 times. Lol 😂 They were AWESOME!
Y’all need to react to “I Love It Loud”. That’s one of my favorites by them. Also, Heaven’s on Fire, Beth, and there’s just so many songs to react to. 🤩
I loved watching you guys grooving to this song. I remember this song coming out while I was in high school and I was just like you guys the first time I heard this
Loved your reaction,been watching your videos lately, for the guy who was talking about Gene Simmons, his thing wasn't drugs or alcohol,but sex! A lot of their songs have to do with sex,also Gene loved comic books and there was even a marvel Kiss comic ,they poured their own real blood into the red ink for the comic!
Oh gosh… they need to watch one of the videos displaying Gene’s obnoxiously long tongue, which has become a rock legend in and of itself.
Paul Stanley was an underrated singer
It is so cool seeing you youg guys listen to songs this girl grew up on. Music unites and crosses all barriers. Keep doing you guys. Great job.
One of the absolute best live shows I have ever seen, at their prime in 1977-1978.
You guys blow me away with old school interest👍✌️🇺🇸
Hey fam, this is my first time joining you. I am totally floored by the conceptual nature of your content! It is honestly REFRESHING to see how y’all step outside of your cultural “wheel house” to give your opinions of various pop culture figures in America. It’s like a more intelligent and open minded Beavis and Butthead (I made sure I qualified that before I made the comparison!!!) and that’s definitely a GOOD thing! I sincerely look forward to watching more of your videos. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
When I was in junior high in the '70's this band came out.... you would see kids go to school with the painted faces, plattform shoes.... hahahaha memories
Haa! I love yalls reaction. Everyone of yall were bopping your heads. Its refreshing
Detroit Rock City (the album version) is my favorite KISS song!
Kiss appeared on early episodes of The Oprah Show. Oprah asked Gene Simmons how long his tongue was. His reply "Long enough to make me your very closest friend." Oprah went beet red. It was an awesome moment.
This was the 1st song I ever heard from Kiss after that I fell in love with the band ❤
Ace Frehley one of the greatest guitarist ever❤
KISS was my first concert when I was 16. It was right when they first BLEW up. Guys please do some more songs. This song was some kind of bet or something about them being able to make a Disco song. It was also right when disco blew up. This song was pop compared to most of their music. FYI Ted Nugent never drank or did any drugs
My 2nd fave rock band of all time, & the ULTIMATE glam rock band! Thanks for your reaction.
My very first concert I ever went to was KIZZ in Wichita, KS 1977, it was so exciting, packed to the fullest & so loud that afterwards our ears rang forever!
"Check out I Love it Loud by Kiss." Also "Rock and Roll All Night and Party Every Day"
KISS has a ton of great songs and all the Haters just wish they had that KISS money instead of chump change in their pockets!😂 Strutter, Heavens on Fire, Unholy, Charisma, Lick it up, 2000 Man. There's so many great songs to list. I would say just start from the beginning and do Album reviews with them.
Always loved this bass line!! 👍
I just subscribed but have watched you guys for so long. Thank you AI. You guys are so great. I love watching you all enjoy all the best music. Woot!
This is the point that KISS lost a lot of their fan base. In this song, they went full disco. It turned a lot of their fans off. You guys should check out their songs from 1974 to 1977 - they rocked out big time.
You need to also react to detroit rock city, love gun and rock n roll all nite by Kiss!
LMAO at y'all's shock! There's a reason they were the best! Everybody dancing is so great and lifts the spirits of all of us watching!
My favorite when I was in Jr. High school! Love them forever! Listen to Detroit Rock City!
Black Diamond Live on tv is the one
You really NEED to dig deep into KISS. Lots of great rock songs. Live performances are off the charts. Gene spits blood and spits fire. Ace's guitar smokes and shoots fireworks. Peter's drum kit rises. They wanted to be the band they never saw. Only Gene and Paul never drank or did drugs. Ace and Peter did so much that they were kicked out the band and replaced. There is so much to this band you don't even know. They are, by far, the best live band ever.
