This was more a play on a 60s horror movie called Children of the Damned. I believe that is the inspiration and KISS put their spin on it as Creatures of the Night
It figures a man would say something like that 😂😂! Gene, Paul, Peter, Ace the originals where married so wasn't Eric, Vinny, and Tommy. So it doesn't matter if Jamal is married he still officially can be in the Kiss Army 🥰!!!
Kiss Army fans feel those lyrics. If you liked KISS back in the day, you were an outcast. Gene is just saying it's okay to be an outcast. We are just as important as everyone else. Loved that message. This show was awesome. There was a huge tank and the drums were the gun turret. It was a really wicked show.
I saw Kiss live in 1977, I was 16 years old. One of the best concerts ever. Fire breathing, blood spitting, pyrotechnics and levitating drummer/drums! I was front stage and center. I had fake blood all over my shirt and I felt as if my face was sun burnt with no eyebrows!!! Best friggin experience of my rock and roll 16 year old life. Good times!
I wish I could have seen them back then. The first time I ever saw them was on their Crazy Nights tour. Saw them seven more times after that. The best one being in 96 when Peter and Ace came back. I had shitty seats but I didn’t care I was seeing my original music idols.
Damn, I saw Eric and starting crying. Another great one that passed FAR too young. I've been a KISS fan since 1974 and have never stopped. I'm happy to see you listening to them ! R.I.P. Eric Carr !
I took some of my friends that were guitar players and into thrash, nu-metal and such to a KISS concert. They used to bag on the band about being "old" and "3 chord party songs". The concert blew them away and total converts to KISS fans. I also reminded them that without KISS, there wouldn't be a lot of the bands they liked.
I actually saw kiss before the rock and roll over album actually the Destroyer was not out but they was doing some songs off of a Tahoe come on now was that a show hey I was thirteen alright get in there hey but how about baby driver off rock and roll over but I ate all that old kiss that don't care if it's all all every piece
Took my daughters to see Kiss for their first concert. They were 7 and 8 at the time. They loved them. Paul gave my brats a little wave from his platform in the crowd.
A Kiss greatest hits album could easily be 100 songs. I went to my first Kiss concert in 77, I was 8 years old in full Gene Simmons makeup. I saw Kiss 7 times live. LOUD concert and awesome everytime.
RUSH toured a lot with KISS in the beginning as KISS's opening act. When later in life Geddy was asked what they learned from KISS, Geddy gives them credit with teaching RUSH about the importance of giving a great show and leaving it all on the stage for the fans no matter what. But KISS in the 70's had 2 camps. Those that loved them and those that hated them because they were too commercial. Back then Kiss stuff was on everything from Lunch boxes to kids underwear. Even had a Saturday Morning cartoon for a little while, lol. It was AWFUL, lol. But, Gene Simmons was a marketing genius.
KISS had Rush as their opening act so much because, as Gene said, "After the show Rush all went backstage and read books. They left all the girls for us."
@@RDreamer I saw a documentary on Rush where Gene had joked about Rush being non-party animals after the show. not your typical rock star lifestyle band.
My 10 year old grandson loves KISS. My fiance and I took him to see KISS in our area 5 years ago. His very first concert! He absolutely loved it and was totally enamored with Gene Simmons! What a great night that was. One of the best concerts I've ever been to I must say.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing KISS in concert 5 times. Hearing their music live is on a whole different level. 3 of the 5 times I was next to the stage. Got to witness Eric Carr’s drumming skills twice. How great it was to grow up during the 80’s.There are so many great KISS songs but this one, Black Diamond and Hard Luck Woman are my favorites.
Everyone needs to see KISS live! Greatest rock band live ever! I have seen them at least a dozen times. I was in the KISS Army when I was in 5th grade. lol
"Creatures of the Night" is their hardest album, and the production on the sound is just OMFG! THOSE DRUMS!!! Definitely an album for headphones. It won a lot of "heaviest album" awards and designations from rock magazines all over the world that year. Give a listen to "Rock and Roll Hell" and "War Machine".
I was at " Rock am Ring " in the nineties. All popular acts where there: Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, the Cult etc. The last gig was Kiss and they showed all the others how to do a show!! Greetings from Germany.
YHe died of heart cancer. Only the 89th person in the world to get it at the time, most likely, from the nightclub fire at Gullivers, in 1974. He did not die in surgery. He had the tumor removed in 2/91, (showed off his scar on mtv and all the metal mags and had the best sense of humor... saying he could finally out do Tommy Lee for solos, if his heart explodes during a show) then did chemo at Sloan Kettering, the video for god gave rock n roll to you, etc. his last public appearance was the mtv music awards in 10/91, with Bruce, in LA. He went back home to NY, the next day and suffered a massive aneurysm from the heart cancer. He was in a coma till his death 11/29/91, another massive aneurysm is what killed him. His cause of death, was heart cancer.
Seen them about 7 times. Was a huge fan since I was a little kid. Collected so much KISS merch, I had a separate wing of my house dedicated to it because I acquired so much. Then I realized it was time to grow up around 35, and sold it all. They've become a parody of themselves in their later years, but being the biggest band in the world at one point in time, allows you to do whatever the f*** you want! KISS in their heyday was no joke.
I was a little kid and a huge KISS fan, and my dad took me and a friend to see them back in 76...the Destroyer Tour.....stayed a huge fan until Ace left. Then when they reunited in make-up I saw them again..think it was 94 or 96.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley during the 70's. Kiss? Hell yeah!!!!!! Saw them at Magic Mountain In Valencia when the were filming "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park". My girlfriend at the time and I are in the concert footage in the movie, right up by the stage. They caught us in mid embrace! lol Good times from a far simpler time. PEACE!!!!!
Saw KISS live after Crazy Nights. They were great live, Gene Simmons breathing fire, Paul Stanley jumping around like an acrobat, smoke, lasers and that 40 foot KISS sign. That was in the no-makeup stage, but it was still one of a kind.
Thank you for doing some KISS reactions. I've been waiting for these....they are amazing in concert. Saw them five times and each show was more amazing than the other. Glad you're enjoying them and look forward to your other KISS reactions.
@@ponyboy082719661 I think more folks would like KISS strictly on the musical level if they dug into some of their deep cuts from the 70s. Nothin To Lose, Deuce, 100,000 years..so many good ones.
Saw them 3 or 4 years ago. It was a great show! Lots of pyro, "flying" band members that were transported mid air to perform for the back of the crowd, then they did the national anthem and honored the veterans in their crew (along with having vets in the audience stand) at the end. I later got to see ex Kiss member Ace Frehley in a tiny venue in Dallas and that was a lot of fun as well.
Seen them five times in concert, with and without the make-up! Each concert was totally KICK *ss!!!! Had the chance to meet them back in the 90s. They couldn't have been nicer. So happy you have discovered KISS! :-)
Apparently KISS is going to resume their End Of The Road World Tour in 2022... so you will have the opportunity to see them live. And KISS is a band that even though their lineup has changed, they haven't lost it though. They still put on a PHENOMENAL show. You don't get all the front rolls from Paul that you used to get, but they sound just as great as ever ! And that's pretty unbelievable from a band that's been going for almost 50 years !
Great reactions on the Kiss videos, Jamel! I've had the pleasure of seeing them live three times. While they aren't in my top ten or even top twenty bands I do own all of their records and out of the hundreds of concerts I've been to, they had the absolute best party atmosphere hands down.
I've been listening to KISS for a loooong tine and they continue to be one of my all time favorite bands. My prayers have been with Gene and Paul as they recover from Covid. Get well soon guys, you are loved!!!
I got to see the original lineup. Fantastic show. A little known female artist opened for them, and I became a fan of hers. It was Debbie Harry and Blondie.
@@Almost_Famous_Ryan , I looked years ago and it said Nantucket. I have never seen Nantucket. This was at the old Charlotte Coliseum in North Carolina. I was young enough that it was my first rich concert and my parents took me. My mother fell down the steps, and Paul stopped the show for a minute and asked if she was alright. One of my best friends also went to the shoe with his parents and we met up at the show. Blondie opened. I know that because one of the songs she played was 11:59, she was promoting the Parallel Lines LP, and I loved it so much, I went to the record store, Square Records in Lancaster SC and bought the 45 with 11:59 on it , and I still have that record. I know what the data shows, but I know what I saw, I know what I bought because of the show, the very next day, and I still have that 45 in my room. I have asked my friend who it was that opened, and he said Blondie. We were both semi fans of Nantucket , we had older sisters in the same grade that were friends, and they were bigger fans. Neither of us have seen Nantucket live, but I have opened for them anf Marshall Tucker Band while playing synths for a band I was in years later. And finally, that was the only concert that I went to to see KISS, and that was the only concert I went to until I was old enough to drive to them myself, several years later, without my parents, which would have been 1982 when I got my license. It was Blondie.
@@wolf762x51 It's possible. Very strange that it isn't mentioned anywhere. I have 4 books with Kiss gigographies and none mention Blondie. I have a table book with the concert posters, none mention Blondie either. One the flipside, I have definitely seen gigs in my town that aren't listed on a band's gigography.
I've seen Kiss live 4 times in My life.. I saw them on their final tour a couple of years ago in Indianapolis and they were just as great as they were in the 70's .. concerts I will not soon forget '
Always my Fav Kiss song!! I took my daughter to see kiss in Detroit on her 10th B-day. Painted her face and took a vid of her singing this song word for word at the show!! Greatest Show Ever!!👍
I saw KISS LIVE in HOUSTON . THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD GAVE THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD. We were on the 2nd row and my ears rang for 2 day after. WAS WELL WORTH IT. 35 YEARS IN THE KISS ARMY AND COUNTING .
I was a huge KISS fan when I was a kid, but the parents would not let me go to their concerts. But years later, when the original four got back together and did their reunion tour, I was there. First show in Indianapolis, the old Market Square arena, and it was fucking incredible. the concert videos didn't do them justice. I saw them again a few years later for their Psycho Circus tour, the last tour where the original four played together. Great memories. They were known for their looks and their pyrotechnics, but they seriously wrote some great rock songs too. The Destroyer album is just a classic rock album, period.
Lifelong KISS fan! Best concerts I have ever been to, inside the songs rattle you & the pyrotechnics are very hot! Seen them with alot of great bands, but no one puts on a show like them! This last farewell tour I was leaning over the wall of our balcony suite & Gene was on a floating pedestal & came so close I could have touched him & he winked at me & passed on by!! Sad that was the actual last KISS concert bc I have seen a few in my time even through a thunderstorm! Forever was my first dance wedding song. Great memories from every show!!! The last show I did miss the huge KISS lights with bulbs.
Oh and I’ve seen Kiss four times live, every time was fantastic. What’s cool, is not only did I get to see them, my kids have seen them twice with me, and my grandchildren once with me. They were blown away. My grandson brought a friend with him, and the friend only listened to rap. The friend told me he’s going to broaden his horizons into old rock. Awesome.
I immediately tuned to see what your reaction would be when that bass drum first hit. It was the exact same reaction I had when I first heard it in 1982!
Seen Kiss multiple times. Even traveled to Detroit to see the reunion tour. Which didn't include this song. But when I seen them without makeup 💄 this was a mainstay song. Totally rocked live. Especially with Eric Car on drums. R.I.P.
I seen KISS 10 times, from 1979 up until a few years ago....in 1996, I was at Tiger Stadium, Detroit ....for the 1st concert of the reunion of the original dudes, Ace, Peter, Gene and Paul....iconic !!!
It took 42 years but I finally get to see them. The first time the band I was in had a gig the same night so we got to deal with the overflow of folks that couldn't make the show. The second time recently before the world ended, my "friend" and I got turned around going over the mountain pass in February. Sept 24 I finally get to see them. The band got flack for selling out during the disco era with this song.
My very first concert was KISS in 1978!!! In MSG!!!!! WAY before they made this song. This was one of these guys greatest songs!!! They are not Rush....but this was my entry into this music!!!
Thank you very much for reacting to KISS. They were my late husband's favorite band. He was definitely part of the KISS Army. Cold Gin is another good one.
I've got to see them in concert on several occasions. One time I went to see them in concert in the 80's with Motley Crue opening for them. My hair caught fire at the concert... True story!!!!!!! 🤘😎😎🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎉🎉
I agree with Zzzzzz below, you have experienced enough to be official member of the KISS ARMY...Been in KISS ARMY since late 70's, Welcome Jamel...Love it...Thanks, Peace
I finally got to see KISS live durng their “Farewell Tour Pt.7” (almost evry band does at least 3 or 4 “Farewell Tours”..up here in BFLO NY, in 2019..right B4 the covid pandemic..For being in their mid 60s (Gene & Paul are anywy)..They put on an awsom show..Ovr 2 hrs long..It had a great pyro & laser light show..great music..& was a great time...David Lee Roth (X lead singr for Van Halen was the opening act..He was vry good too, for his age)..
Fun thing, Kiss' legendary live album series are named "Alive!". The first two of them are "kult klassiks"! They really set a new standard for live albums, with the first one released as early as 1975!
They never put on a bad show. They are incredible live. I saw them in Virginia Beach a few years ago and even in their 60’s they are awesome. Kiss fans are so friendly and fun to hang with.
I saw KISS live, in the 70's. 80's. 90's, and 2000's. I've seen many famous bands, and KISS had the best live show, of them all. Hands down. Great job Jamel.
The song was built to be played live. Gene has one of most commanding voices in rock history. I've seen KISS play 6 or 7 times. Everyone sings along to this one.
I have seen KISS live 14 times...last time was September of 2019. They have NEVER failed to put on an indescribable show!! No words could come close to what a live KISS concert does to your soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've seen KISS 7 times over the years..........first time in 1979, most recent time in 2019. They may not put out the best overall albums, but they DO put on the best damn concert of any band.
You should see them live, they still put on a good show. My mom used to drive us as teens back in the day 70s to the closest show (2 hours each way). I repaid the favor by taking her to the last show here in Atlanta. She loved it and posed with a good Gene cosplayer in the crowd. She's 82 and still a rocker.

Now you need to go to the complete opposite and listen to their song 'Beth'
@@exeter1985 Great point!!!
Kia baby driver hits from the rock and roll over album It's a smash all right a Monster smash Monster Mash mash all right all right
This was a mix tape staple back in the day....
"I was made for loving you"..... Disco Kiss.
The kids at the end were "Creatures of the Night" (the album name) That drum beat is iconic, RIP Eric Carr.
Came down here to say exactly that. Not "Children of the Corn," "Creatures of the Night!"
Agreed and adding war machine to this list. Erics double bass was everything. Loved when he did it live.
Definitely, I loved Peter but Eric was the best drummer they ever had and Bruce was the best guitarist.
This was more a play on a 60s horror movie called Children of the Damned. I believe that is the inspiration and KISS put their spin on it as Creatures of the Night
Definitely Rip Mr Eric Carr.special man and only he could replace Peter Kiss.let me go
Jamal you are an official member of the KISS army. Welcome.
Nope he’s married!!! He better get divorced if he’s going to be with Kiss😂😂😂😂
@@matthewfortune1746 lmfao!
It figures a man would say something like that 😂😂! Gene, Paul, Peter, Ace the originals where married so wasn't Eric, Vinny, and Tommy. So it doesn't matter if Jamal is married he still officially can be in the Kiss Army 🥰!!!
KISS Army forever 🤘🖤
@@terryjbrown6953 sorry dude, I'm a gal and been a KISS fan for 40 years. Have a great day!!!
The good ole days when parents thought KISS stood for Knights in Satan's Service... Such a simpler time..
I don't think KISS ever once made a song about Satan.
@@meanmrmusician9469 Thats the trick.
Folks sure used to say that and were adamant it was true.
Gawrd 🙄 it was laughable even then.

Heaven knows, I was a TOTAL outcast. We were the "goth" before it had a name!!!
Gene Simmons calls "Creatures of the Night" KISSES drum album. RIP Eric Carr

Hell yeah Donna!!!! 🤘🏼

That’s about right! Saw them twice in the 70’s. Fabulous Form & Anaheim Stadium!! 🤘🤘🤘
Damn, I saw Eric and starting crying. Another great one that passed FAR too young. I've been a KISS fan since 1974 and have never stopped. I'm happy to see you listening to them ! R.I.P. Eric Carr !
Was not a big KISS fan until I went to one of their concerts back around 97. They put on an incredible show ended up seeing them two more times
Me too my local radio station only played like 3 of their songs and I was burnt out
I saw them in 1975
Same! I saw them in 2012, I was so mesmerized! Never left my seat!
Same!! I wasn't thrilled about going to my 1st one but definitely was the second one😁
I took some of my friends that were guitar players and into thrash, nu-metal and such to a KISS concert. They used to bag on the band about being "old" and "3 chord party songs". The concert blew them away and total converts to KISS fans. I also reminded them that without KISS, there wouldn't be a lot of the bands they liked.
Do "Beth" or "Hard luck Woman" next if you want more contrast in styles. Then something like "Deuce" "Love Gun" "Strutter" or "Detroit Rock City"
Haven't heard Strutter forever lol
@@christopherharris3229 Strutter and Love Gun arw my jams.
Watching You.
I actually saw kiss before the rock and roll over album actually the Destroyer was not out but they was doing some songs off of a Tahoe come on now was that a show hey I was thirteen alright get in there hey but how about baby driver off rock and roll over but I ate all that old kiss that don't care if it's all all every piece
Peter Criss on a hundred thousand years I like that I like
Gene doesn’t always sing! But he’s the deeper more gravely voice.
My favorite with him on lead vocals is God Of Thunder.
Love God Of Thunder .... Rob Zombie sang it at the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame induction of KISS.
Took my daughters to see Kiss for their first concert. They were 7 and 8 at the time. They loved them. Paul gave my brats a little wave from his platform in the crowd.

@@RDreamer I saw a documentary on Rush where Gene had joked about Rush being non-party animals after the show. not your typical rock star lifestyle band.
Seen them 6 times back in the day. Words cannot describe the live experience
Kiss - Hide your heart / Domino / Heavens on fire
Good songs!
Heavens on Fire🔥 one of my favs
Domino from unplugged 🔥🔥🔥
I've always loved the drum sound in this song. It's like the sound engineer slipped and slid the drum levels up to 10 in the mix! LOL
"Heavens On Fire" by KISS is a good one.
I also enjoy Tears Are Falling.

My mother fell down the steps, and Paul stopped the show for a minute and asked if she was alright. One of my best friends also went to the shoe with his parents and we met up at the show.
Blondie opened. I know that because one of the songs she played was 11:59, she was promoting the Parallel Lines LP, and I loved it so much, I went to the record store, Square Records in Lancaster SC and bought the 45 with 11:59 on it , and I still have that record.
I know what the data shows, but I know what I saw, I know what I bought because of the show, the very next day, and I still have that 45 in my room.
I have asked my friend who it was that opened, and he said Blondie. We were both semi fans of Nantucket , we had older sisters in the same grade that were friends, and they were bigger fans. Neither of us have seen Nantucket live, but I have opened for them anf Marshall Tucker Band while playing synths for a band I was in years later.
And finally, that was the only concert that I went to to see KISS, and that was the only concert I went to until I was old enough to drive to them myself, several years later, without my parents, which would have been 1982 when I got my license.
It was Blondie.
@@wolf762x51 It's possible. Very strange that it isn't mentioned anywhere. I have 4 books with Kiss gigographies and none mention Blondie. I have a table book with the concert posters, none mention Blondie either. One the flipside, I have definitely seen gigs in my town that aren't listed on a band's gigography.
They are fantastic in concert. They've never let me down. Larger than life.
I've seen Kiss live 4 times in My life.. I saw them on their final tour a couple of years ago in Indianapolis and they were just as great as they were in the 70's .. concerts I will not soon forget '
Always my Fav Kiss song!! I took my daughter to see kiss in Detroit on her 10th B-day. Painted her face and took a vid of her singing this song word for word at the show!! Greatest Show Ever!!👍
3 more KISS songs that are a must: "Heaven's on Fire", "Lick it Up" and "Domino" (their later stuff)
My first concert ever was Kiss!! Talk about ruining almost all future concerts. What a show they put on.✌✌✌
I saw KISS LIVE in HOUSTON . THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD GAVE THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD. We were on the 2nd row and my ears rang for 2 day after. WAS WELL WORTH IT. 35 YEARS IN THE KISS ARMY AND COUNTING .
Welcome to the KISS ARMY 😎
If you get a chance to see them, don't miss it. You'll leave with a smile on your face, I promise!
I always loved this KISS song. Its one of the hardest. I mean "hardest" as in it has a hard edge. Right between the eyes.
I was a huge KISS fan when I was a kid, but the parents would not let me go to their concerts. But years later, when the original four got back together and did their reunion tour, I was there. First show in Indianapolis, the old Market Square arena, and it was fucking incredible. the concert videos didn't do them justice. I saw them again a few years later for their Psycho Circus tour, the last tour where the original four played together. Great memories. They were known for their looks and their pyrotechnics, but they seriously wrote some great rock songs too. The Destroyer album is just a classic rock album, period.
Lifelong KISS fan! Best concerts I have ever been to, inside the songs rattle you & the pyrotechnics are very hot! Seen them with alot of great bands, but no one puts on a show like them! This last farewell tour I was leaning over the wall of our balcony suite & Gene was on a floating pedestal & came so close I could have touched him & he winked at me & passed on by!! Sad that was the actual last KISS concert bc I have seen a few in my time even through a thunderstorm! Forever was my first dance wedding song. Great memories from every show!!! The last show I did miss the huge KISS lights with bulbs.
I LOVE IT LOUD! And I LOVE your reaction videos, dude!
Oh and I’ve seen Kiss four times live, every time was fantastic. What’s cool, is not only did I get to see them, my kids have seen them twice with me, and my grandchildren once with me. They were blown away. My grandson brought a friend with him, and the friend only listened to rap. The friend told me he’s going to broaden his horizons into old rock. Awesome.
I immediately tuned to see what your reaction would be when that bass drum first hit. It was the exact same reaction I had when I first heard it in 1982!
Seen Kiss multiple times. Even traveled to Detroit to see the reunion tour. Which didn't include this song. But when I seen them without makeup 💄 this was a mainstay song. Totally rocked live. Especially with Eric Car on drums. R.I.P.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but you and your vids have been a boon for me through the whole pandemic. Thanks for you being real.
Yes, been waiting for this!
Saw KISS live '84..literally THE loudest band I ever heard 🤘😎❤️🌎
I seen KISS 10 times, from 1979 up until a few years ago....in 1996, I was at Tiger Stadium, Detroit ....for the 1st concert of the reunion of the original dudes, Ace, Peter, Gene and Paul....iconic !!!
It took 42 years but I finally get to see them. The first time the band I was in had a gig the same night so we
got to deal with the overflow of folks that couldn't make the show. The second time recently before the world
ended, my "friend" and I got turned around going over the mountain pass in February.
Sept 24 I finally get to see them.
The band got flack for selling out during the disco era with this song.
Was able to see them a few times when they got back together. Awesome shows! So much energy from them and the crowd
I've seen them 3 times and they were my daughters first concert!
My very first concert was KISS in 1978!!! In MSG!!!!! WAY before they made this song. This was one of these guys greatest songs!!! They are not Rush....but this was my entry into this music!!!
Welcome to the KISS Army!!! You called it, those drums are bombastic ... love it LOUD!
seen them 4 times hands down best concerts ive ever been to and ive been to dozens of concerts
Thank you very much for reacting to KISS. They were my late husband's favorite band. He was definitely part of the KISS Army. Cold Gin is another good one.
That drum sound is incredible.
My man called em children of the corn . Hilarious.
This one live is cool, everybody chants every word even if they didn't know the words beforehand! You'll catch yourself singing it later.
Seen them live several times. Best live concert I've ever seen
I've got to see them in concert on several occasions. One time I went to see them in concert in the 80's with Motley Crue opening for them. My hair caught fire at the concert... True story!!!!!!! 🤘😎😎🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎉🎉
I agree with Zzzzzz below, you have experienced enough to be official member of the KISS ARMY...Been in KISS ARMY since late 70's, Welcome Jamel...Love it...Thanks, Peace
Rock and roll, baby ! Saw them live in 1977, Roanoke, Va they lit the place UP !!
I finally got to see KISS live durng their “Farewell Tour Pt.7” (almost evry band does at least 3 or 4 “Farewell Tours”..up here in BFLO NY, in 2019..right B4 the covid pandemic..For being in their mid 60s (Gene & Paul are anywy)..They put on an awsom show..Ovr 2 hrs long..It had a great pyro & laser light show..great music..& was a great time...David Lee Roth (X lead singr for Van Halen was the opening act..He was vry good too, for his age)..
I've seen them live only once, all 4 original members with makeup and it was one of the most incredible concerts I've attended
I saw kiss on their "farewell tour" which was back about 20 years now and I laugh so hard when I think about that because they're still going!
I saw them live once and it was everything you'd expect. Loud, fire, blood, makeup and tons of fun.
This was fun, Thanks! I first saw that KISS video when I was 12, was hooked!!
Fun thing, Kiss' legendary live album series are named "Alive!". The first two of them are "kult klassiks"!
They really set a new standard for live albums, with the first one released as early as 1975!
Still have the vinyl of KISS ALIVE
Man, I'm picturing those long sleeve jersey's with the words 'IF ITS TOO LOUD...YOUR TOO OLD' printed on the back!
They never put on a bad show. They are incredible live. I saw them in Virginia Beach a few years ago and even in their 60’s they are awesome. Kiss fans are so friendly and fun to hang with.
I DID see them on this tour and yes when they played this song it was thunderous
I saw KISS live, in the 70's. 80's. 90's, and 2000's. I've seen many famous bands, and KISS had the best live show, of them all. Hands down. Great job Jamel.
My first concert was Kiss in 1976. Destroyer tour. They opened with Detriot Rock City. It was amazing!!!
The song was built to be played live. Gene has one of most commanding voices in rock history. I've seen KISS play 6 or 7 times. Everyone sings along to this one.
They were my first concert, the Dynasty Tour, 1979. I was 9 years old, I've seen them live 4 times and they never disappoint.
I have seen KISS live 14 times...last time was September of 2019. They have NEVER failed to put on an indescribable show!! No words could come close to what a live KISS concert does to your soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
KISS is the best live show I've ever seen. If you get a chance to see them live don't miss it.
I've seen KISS 7 times over the years..........first time in 1979, most recent time in 2019. They may not put out the best overall albums, but they DO put on the best damn concert of any band.
Saw them on this tour in 83, front row! Felt the heat of the flames and the cold from the dry ice fog and the loudness of the sound system!
I’ve seen Kiss 5 times over my lifetime. I took my kids to see them as their first concert..
You should see them live, they still put on a good show. My mom used to drive us as teens back in the day 70s to the closest show (2 hours each way). I repaid the favor by taking her to the last show here in Atlanta. She loved it and posed with a good Gene cosplayer in the crowd. She's 82 and still a rocker.
Just saw KISS live last week, they're still putting on an incredible show
