I Love It Loud DID get played on MTV. I used to hang out at this local rock club that played MTV on a big screen, and that video was played several times a night for a while.
Beethoven's 2nd Symphony in D Major is amazing, and yes, he had realized he was going deaf. The letters to his brother expressed how he was losing his will to live, but we got seven more symphonies before his death.
The problem with Creatures is that nobody knew it was out!!! I stumbled on it in a record store. no Promotion! we weren't listening with our eyes, a**hole! I didn't even know Vinnie was in the band until Lick it Up was released. I actually thought Vinnie was Ace when i saw him on the cover.
👍You're right. However, my music friends and myself were getting into some new music in school i.e Punk and NWOFBHM plus any heavier American music. That said I did witness the Creatures show, which still ranks as one of the best, loudest, well performed shows I've seen of all time.
Nonsense. We all knew Ace unlike Peter unceremoniously had left the band for this leg of the 10th anniversary / Creatures tour. It had been rumored for months. When they pulled up to an in store record signing at warehouse Records & Tapes in the metro New Orleans area people initially thought Vinny was a girl when he stepped out of the limo. He was more slinky and wiry than Ace who we all knew would not be there. He fit in well enough. too bad he was such a head case. You couldn't help but love Eric he was so sweet and gracious
I was aware of everything- even that Vinnie would be playing in Ace's place on the Creatures tour. I would go to the local drug store every week and go through every rock magazine they had. That's how I stayed informed
For those of you that weren't there, they did it out of desperation, they were almost forgotten, and this is coming from a diehard fan! What today fans also dont realize is that in the 80s you could've find ANY video footage from the makeup days until 85s Exposed video!! They just wanted to move on. So, in the 80s, we didn’t realize at the time but we were witnessing a very unique time in kisstory
Same here! But there needs to be touch ups on the unmasked avatars! You make then look much more handsome than they really were! Especially Gene, Ace, and Vinny! Vinny was like a 12 year old Shemale!
haha - min 22:45 Munich, Löwenbräukeller - I was at that show. A much to small venue for KISS who three years earlier played the mighty Munich Olympic Hall. Anyway - it was cool seeing KISS without makeup for the very first time.
Creatures was a great album but its lack of sales had little to do with makeup and more to do with the disappointments and departures that were Dynasty, Unmasked, and especially The Elder. Taking the make up off let people know this was not the same band and THAT was the rebirth of KISS, which also happened to coincide with the most profitable and popular decade of music that has ever been and likely will ever be. Also, Vinnie Vincent was and is a nutcase but without his genius, KISS would have never had that rebirth. Vincent was largely involved with Creatures, Lick It Up, and Revenge, three albums widely considered among the top 5 of the KISS catalog.
I thought Vinnie Vincent was long gone before the Revenge album what did he have to do with that album I didn't even know he was involved with them by that time ?
@@jamiesonmathias7859 He served as a songwriter for Revenge, officially on Unholy, Heart of Chrome, I Just Wanna. I imagine there were other contributions that went uncredited. At any rate, KISS decided to give him another chance because the dude is talented. He raised yet another contract dispute with KISS and was then considered forever persona non grata.
@@dr.roberts4508 What is different with this Master version of lick it up ? And does anybody know how I can get a version of the Crazy Nights Album without keyboards ? And what other albums in the 80s early 90s had Keyboards on them ?
The hard truth was you lost the two best pounding and electrifying original members because they didnt get to do as many songs as you 2 did and were against that stupid movie of the week and going disco.Thanks for this great job.😂
Eric completely annihilated Peter! Creatures and Lick it Up were their two heaviest albums. And one song with Disco elements doesn't mean the band went completely Disco! Sheesh!. Oh wait- 2 songs- the other was Dirty Livin' by Peter! That song was crap!
Vinny Vincent was an oddball choice as a replacement for Ace Spaceman Freyley. Vinny was short.. like 5’6”… And one strange looking dude. Turned out Vinny was a malcontent and would never sign his contract. Gene and Paul finally gave Vinny the Axe. Vinny slapped lawsuits on the Kiss Organization constantly. Vinny was unseen for twenty years and people were shocked when he recently made an appearance with Gene Simmons s Gene had a Vault deal $5,000 a pop. Vinny showed up wearing a ladies Pant suit and looked Fem as ever. Frumpy with his silly wig, Gene just wanted to get through the meeting lol. They played and sang a few songs and Vinny was hoping Gene would want to collaborate with him on some Venues. Vinny is broke as a joke as he drove up in a clunker, car looked like he got it at Goodwill. A promoter set up a few show’s to help Vinny but he canceled every time. Stranger than strange.
Vinny was a great guitar player, but always came off as a creepy person! The MTV unveiling, they show Vinny’s face, and silence except for a few scattered laughs!
LOVE this video series! Here's a small tip - when you feature telephone interviews, you should feature the respective avatar with a phone up to its face 😁
What is the order...in how all of these videos were put out? I want to see them all, in order. Somebody help me with that? I'm trying to go buy the dates but....
Gene's "talking" photo is from Creatures '85 cover. and Paul's - somewhere from Crazy Nights era.. Right? BTW will there be videos like this one aboiut the next albums?
15:39 Also Gene “I don’t normally say this to girls your age but that day I saw you coming out of school, that day I knew, I got to have you, I GOT TO HAVE YOU!”
vinnie calling Gene Paul & Eric knuckleheads at a time when image & reputation were even more crucial than ever was a bold, or dumb statement from Vinnie.
This is so awesome lol. Paul was wrong with the I love it loud video on MTV. Thats where I saw it many times but it was late at night. It did disappear then once Lick it up was released
That was not entirely accurate. I was at the Long Beach show when Vinnie actually played for about 20 minutes ,or so it seemed! It's on TH-cam, you can watch it yourself. I thought it was the best part of the show. KISS was like watching twisted Bon sister Jovi, or something. I stopped going to see them at the Asylum show ,walked out on the third song! Anyway, this was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! Do more!
I grew up in the 90s, the youngest of three boys, and KISS was the epitome of what was wrong with wrong rock in the 1980s and what grunge was, implicitly, created to destroy. I never gave the band a chance until now; they have legit good songs, they are real musicians etc but I find their drama/history and their personalities just fascinating, especially at their diversity. I give Gene and Paul a ton of credit for their business acumen and legit musical abilities, consistency and longevity are traits to admire and strive for. Don't get me wrong though, Ace is my favorite overall.
Kiss complaining that they had became like the circus appealing to little kids & moms etc .... as of "complaining kinda" ..... Then lick it up, they sound like theyre complaining because the young girls were there & complianing they became a hair band. All of which resulted in Lots of money. - Why are they even telling any of this stuff, we KISS fans Know all this stuff. Nothing new.
Eric Carr was an exceptional drummer. Also a multi instrumentalists. So sad what happened to him. Vinnie Vincent wrote alot of songs with Gene, but was a terrible lead guitarists. Paul hated Vinnie to this day. Vinnie was as equal to Paul in the queen drama department. If Vinnie wasn't such a crazed drama queen, he's song writing would of propelled kiss in record sales, but you knew that Paul had to be the queen 👸 of the band.
I agreed with all of what u said EXCEPT that Vinnie was terrible guitarist. The guy is phenomenal- and had his own, unique style. U can't ever say that about most guitarists. Kulick sounded just like everyone else- boring. They fk'd up firing Vinnie
I 'm still amazed that Creature of the night failed, for me it is really kiss resurection after the weak Elder Era and Killer which was a weak Platinium copy. I liked Dynasty and Unmasked dispite all the critics and creature of the night should have followed these two albums.Maybe the band should have stopped for several years and look back what was really great with Destroyer and Love Gun etc....
If Paul had punched out Vinnie like he said that he was seriously contemplating,...I wonder if he would have stuck his finger up Vinnie's butt when Vinnie was knocked out on the stage...? That truly would have been monumental 'coming out' moment for Paul. If that had happened and happened in today's twisted society, the headlines would probably read something like, 'Rockstar comes out of the closet in an act of bravery and courage'.
@@kissdiariesOh yeah, for sure. I don't know if they did 'many' times, but I've heard them do so here and there. I just meant in this specific video. (I'm going on memory as I don't want to rewatch). Keep on rockin'!
Paul and the fans can say now that Creatures was the better album but giving it an objective listen, it sounds dated for something that came out in 1982 so can see why it bombed. Not only did you have the hair bands, you had New Wave, the NWOBHM, Hardcore Punk, Post-Punk, Indie and all these over things where 70's hard rock sounded dull by then. Had it been the follow up to Love Gun instead of making a disco album, a pop album and then a concept album trying to get critical acclaim and mainstream popularity then it likely would have been better received. There is a nostalgia feel to that sound now and it's retro cool but for 1982 that's kinda bad. It's like when they tried to copy a particular sound that was short lived on Crazy Nights and Carnival of Souls to appeal to quickly sell records, it ages fast and always feels dated like the time Alice Cooper tried to be cool by copying the industrial metal that had been popular in the 90's right at the point it was going out of fashion. KISS were always chasing through the 80's jumping from trying to emulate Van Halen to Bon Jovi and always being behind the curve.
13:26 I would just like to Point out, KISS put out MORE Merch. with the Makeup Faces they ever did with their REAL Face on it, and continued to do so Way after the Makeup was dismissed. Yet Paul says, '' I Hated what it had become...'' Bitch Please, People would have FORGOTTEN Who You even were if You didn't continue Putting the Makeup on EVERYTHING. 🤨🙄🤣
Eric Carr shoulda been the last person to critique Vinnies over the top playing. He played ahead of them live and sped songs up so much it took away any soul they had. Carrs drumfills were very cliche and always sounded fake.

The reactions during the unmasking on MTV had me rolling!!!! Especially Vinnie.🤣🤣
Okay there Ace Zappa!!
I Love It Loud DID get played on MTV. I used to hang out at this local rock club that played MTV on a big screen, and that video was played several times a night for a while.
Ace is still the best part about this - just hilarious😂
Yeah lol Ace's input is so hilarious when he was gone at this point besides the promotion vids
At one point in his career with KISS he even called himself a shitty guitarist, he's always been kinda snarky and I love him for that
Just like in real life, Ace provides the most entertainment and draws the most attention.
Lick it up is one of my favorite kiss albums..
Beethoven's 2nd Symphony in D Major is amazing, and yes, he had realized he was going deaf.
The letters to his brother expressed how he was losing his will to live, but we got seven more symphonies before his death.
I prefer Handel myself 😅
7:50 -- I love this shot - with EVERY SINGLE band member's name wrong. Newspaper people - pffh!
This is great! The editing it top notch!! So much good KISStory out there, I’d love to see more

He fit in well enough. too bad he was such a head case.

This is REAL , V Real.
Creatures was one of their best albums
The Egos of Paul & Gene are hilarious 😂
Ace is gone and yet the only thing that makes Paul or Gene's commentary palatable are Ace's jokes peppered through this. 😂
For those of you that weren't there, they did it out of desperation, they were almost forgotten, and this is coming from a diehard fan!

"i wasnt sick of the makeup but what we had to give up for it ..the band"
This is perfect lmao. I need more of these.
Love Vinnie’s eye rolls. Lol.
Superb as usual, really love the editing
They went from theatrical makeup to covergirl type of makeup..
So they essentially still wore makeup.
😅
😂😂😂 I dug out a old Hit Parader from the "cover girl" era, paul was a transvestite 😂😂😂
My gawd, this is a example of a masterpiece 👏 in editing. My gawd u rule!
Thank you
3:09 Spat my sleepy time tea out 😂
I absolutely love these!!! Was wondering if you would do another. Gotta keep 'em comin'!

Best Kiss album..
@7:45 I remember that article and thinking they have the names wrong in the photo. They sure did, lol.
These guys are soooo dramatic. Loved them as a kid though and wouldn’t trade the experience for the world.
The reactions to the MTV makeup unveilings are priceless. These videos are the best.
This guy is genius, master of edits and humor

Gene and paul were jealous of Vinnie.

Please guys, I love it! Do Animalize and another! Please!
Hi! thanks I am very happy to hear, but it is gonna end here for me, sorry to say ;)
I don't know why Paul got disgusted by Vinnie when he poured the soup back into the kettle. Vinnie just wanted them to have as much as possible.
Supreme. Es ist der hammer!
Freut mich sehr zu hören!
eric carr was my favorite ,creature is my fvorite album by kiss out of all
c'mon... Vinnie's character is called Warrior not Whiz. Is a Egyptian Character. There wasn't whiz in old egypt
He said wizard didn't he?
Vinnie was in fact Introduced as Vinnie WHIZ Vincent the Day He was Officially a Member of Kiss.

Then put his avatar on a computer screen.
Pretty sure you understand the inference, here.
What is the order...in how all of these videos were put out? I want to see them all, in order. Somebody help me with that? I'm trying to go buy the dates but....
25:53 I wonder if Paul still has that jacket. That’s one cool KISS jacket.
The Kiss animation is cool. can you do it again
Gene's "talking" photo is from Creatures '85 cover. and Paul's - somewhere from Crazy Nights era.. Right?
BTW will there be videos like this one aboiut the next albums?
A.I. Vinnie looke like Aubrey Plaza 😂
Vinnie's Puerto Rican now. 😂😂😂.
One thing that Paul said that was wrong: "The makeup doesn't make you sweat".
Paul Stanley was a buck fifty up here trying to flex
Gene says he wasn't getting up with Liza, but that's because she wouldnt stoop that low
This show is wicked and hilarious!
🤘🤘🤘
Glickman & Marks!
I love lick it up the elder and creatures of the night, hated unmasked, most of dynasty ( not bad pop cheesy like unmasked but had a few good songs)
U loved Elder, true kizz army
Eric's still my favorite
btw, GREAT WORK.. Your videos are awesome. TY!
Thanks, very glad to hear ;)
Vinnie a master
15:39 Also Gene “I don’t normally say this to girls your age but that day I saw you coming out of school, that day I knew, I got to have you, I GOT TO HAVE YOU!”
It's not like back then people didnt already have a good idea of what they looked like anyway.
"Lick It Up" was a much more even album than "Creatures", but the heaviness of "Creatures" was a big surprise after "The Elder".
Lick it Up was a great album
Lick It Up is better than Creatures in every way. Songwriting, musically, vocally, and production. It's also much heavier.
vinnie calling Gene Paul & Eric knuckleheads at a time when image & reputation were even more crucial than ever was a bold, or dumb statement from Vinnie.
This is so awesome lol. Paul was wrong with the I love it loud video on MTV. Thats where I saw it many times but it was late at night. It did disappear then once Lick it up was released
"All I remembered were his horrible love solos" hard disagree after listening to some of the creatures tour, Eric
Come on Paul, admit it.
Lick it Up is a better album than Creatures of the Night, and A Million to One is actually about Ace Frehley.
All the credit to what your doing
Thanks ;)
Creatures and Revenge are there heaviest albums
Have you not heard Carnival Of Souls?
Ironic they had to put the makeup back on to keep from going bankrupt because apparently people prefer to watch people in makeup sing and play
That was not entirely accurate. I was at the Long Beach show when Vinnie actually played for about 20 minutes ,or so it seemed! It's on TH-cam, you can watch it yourself. I thought it was the best part of the show. KISS was like watching twisted Bon sister Jovi, or something. I stopped going to see them at the Asylum show ,walked out on the third song!

Ur a fraud that lies about randy rhoads
@@kissdiariesdont listen to the guy...hes a liar and thinks these guys are his peers lol
Is the theme music from Pittsburgh Dad or All in the Family??

Lick it up IS as good as Creatures imo. Its like Creatures part 2 .imo
What is different with this version ?
Part 1-3
