I mean, I (we) like "I was made for loving you", but... This sound is what Kiss are. Pure Rock 'n Roll. Who's with me? Try "Rock and Roll All Nite" next. Keep rockin. Peace 🖤🤘
There is absolutely nothing wrong with I Was Made For Loving You... it's just not their typical sound. It was more of a one off to prove that anyone could write a disco song. Detroit Rock City is more KISS sounding. I was 6 years old in 1978 and went to my first KISS concert. Gene spit blood all over me and I've been in the KISS army ever since!!!
Dude, you need to check out the classic 70s Kiss line up, Alive 2 footage, thats the real shit. Paul Stanley's voice is on the way out here, in the 70s it was fire
2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5
Totally, 70 and 80s Kiss rules, all the rest you can discard
Growing up Gene Simmons loved 2 things about the United States. Comic books and rock and roll. So he combined the 2 and we got KISS! I have loved them since I was a kid in the 70s
Watch the 1996 live performance of Rock N Roll All Night performed under the Brooklyn bridge. It is not only a wild spectacle but you also get to full version of KISS, all the original members.
Hello from Detroit! I've lived all over the US and for the last 5+ years in Detroit... This town loves music like no place I've ever seen. Every show I attend, the audience is enthusiastic, loud, and knows their stuff. Tons of huge bands say that Detroit was the first city other than the band's own hometowns to embrace them. KISS immortalized it!
Destroyer was the first record I ever bought. September 1976 as an 8 year old. Detroit Rock City was the first KISS song I ever heard. Been a KISS fan ever since.
Me too! I was 5 years old though. My mom gave me a ten dollar bill I handed it to the guy and ran out with it to the car. Mom got the change and as soon as we got home I listened to it over and over again while looking at all the cool stuff that used to come with KISS records back in the day. I miss that so much. Digital music without all the tangible, visual things that came with records just makes me sad for new music fans today. Altogether it was amazing to be a music lover back then.
@@Birdfinger💯. Even just the record store was an experience. People miss out on so much life experience today. It's sad. It was great when they started putting lyrics in the cover too.
It was my first album too! I had been saving my allowance and had $13 ! I'm sure Mom would rather I wanted a Barbie doll or something but she let me buy it anyway ❤
Yeah this one’s a bit sloppy for sure. Studio version is a lot better listen IMO. I have never seen them live but all the recorded live stage performances I’ve seen suggest that they were able to rely on their stage theatrics to get away with some, shall we say looseness in their musical performance. 😊
99% of the time, KISS is far better in a live performance.... This is one song of theirs where the studio version stands well above the live performance from a musicality perspective... Most of the time, whatever they lose musically in a live setting can easily be offset by their theatrics, energy, and audience engagement... but, IMHO, not for this song.
I saw these guys in concert in 1977, 1st concert I ever went to. The Love Gun Tour and yes they did sing Detroit Rock City. I was only 17 years old. Great concert
The New York Dolls were one of the first Glam Rock bands, Kiss took a little from them and a little from Alice Cooper's Shock Rock and added their own flair to it.
I took my daughter to see the Dolls on my 50th birthday. This was before Johnny Rocket passed away. At the end of the show Johanssen threw out a bunch of roses into the crowd. I went onto the floor and grabbed some roses for my young daughter. Johnny let me have their playlist that was taped onto the stage floor. I got a signed poster from the band. I gave all that stuff to my daughter of which she still has today. It was a great bonding experience with my kid.
@@BuffaloBob-og That sounds awesome. Unfortunately, where I live, we did get to see a lot of big bands coming thru however Kiss did stop by once in the 80's before they put the makeup back on. I did catch a towel that Gene wiped the sweat off of his face with but when I got home, I noticed that there wasn't any Kiss insignia on it and since no one believed I caught Gene's sweat towel I just started using it as my sweat towel at the gym.
The cover of Kiss Alive II has a picture of each band member on the cover. Three of them look clean like at the start of a show, but Gene is covered in sweat with his mouth and chin covered in fake blood, a big, gooey drip hanging from the bottom, his eyes rolled back, making him look straight demonic. I bought it in 8th grade, and I think that's when mom realized she might have a bit of a wild teenager on her hands soon.
My first concert i ever went to was Kiss.. my brother took me back in the early 80s.. seen them a few more times, and they always bring a banger of a show!!
W.A.S.P.is playing near me this Saturday. St.Charles Illinois.Cant Wait saw them last year also with Armored Saint. the last time i had seen them both together was like 1984 or 5 opening for METALLICA!!!!
Im so glad you are doing this!!! About to age myself here. I saw them live the first time back in 1977. Yes the original 4!!!! It was the best concert ever. Then I had the blessing to be able to see them again back in 2005!!!! It was a great concert too. I can remember feeling the heat every single time the pyro went off. It was an incredible concert to see.
KISS was huge in the 70's. They were famous for their outrageous concerts. Gene Simmons would spit fire and blood, and the bandmembers were never seen in interviews without their makeup. There was even a rumor that KISS stood for Knights In Satan's Service. No one had seen anything like them back in the day.
I seen them live in 1996 in Detroit at Tigers Stadium at the beginning of their Reunion Tour. It's one of the best concerts I've ever been to. When they played this song, all you could hear was the crowd screaming at the beginning. It was like standing next to a 747 jet engine as it revved up for takeoff! It still gives me chills.
I was made for loving you is my favorite Kiss song. People need to chill and appreciate that Kiss fabulously adapted to the disco era and managed to stay relevant while making a groovy rock song. Kiss are masters at what they do.
Nobody said it is a horrible song, they were just saying that Made For Loving You is not their normal sound, it is a disco track that was made on a bet because writing disco is easy. People just wanted him to hear their normal stuff so he had a better idea of them instead of writing them off the The Bee Gee's lite.
30 years ago my wife, then girlfriend, surprised me with KISS concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. I giggled as we walked along and started to see all these people with KISS makeup. “I know where we’re going!” Haha
It's true that I was made for loving do a not represent the band's sound but it remains to this day one of their most popular songs if not the most popular. Now Detroit Rock City is MY personal favorite. Love the guitar solo
Love Kiss , you need to check out some live stuff from their hay day in the 70-80s. I remember being 7 years old and having Kiss on an 8 track Alive 2 I think. I’m 56 now.
KISS are a great band and huge from 70s & I believe are touring their last gigs now. My sis saw them live about 20 yrs ago & from the 7th row she said the pyrotechnics felt right next to her. Yeah, their music changed sometimes but I like all their incarnations. It's called growth, different band members & keeping up with the times.
First concert I ever saw. I was 15, it was the old Winnipeg Arena, and I was 5th row on the floor. Caught Paul Stanley's guitar pick and was deaf for 2 days. 😆I've seen a TON of concerts since then- seen KISS more than a handful of time- and no one puts on a better show than them.
Saw these guys live back in the mid to late 70's (Kiss Alive and Destroyer tours) and they just stood the industry on it's ear with a whole new 'Shock Rock' genre that until then was primarily owned by Alice Cooper. Gene Simmons was always known for his larger that life tongue but during performance would also breath fire and spit blood as part of his "Demon" persona. Their shows were always accompanied with pyrotechnics as well as many other effects to create this larger than life production. Great reaction!
I saw them live 1980, at 13yrs old in the front row mind tiny mind was blown. Today I’m 57yrs old and I’m still rocking out. Cheers from Perth West Australia 🇦🇺
I had front row seats when they were in my hometown The fireworks you could feel,, we got guitar pics,, a piece of the guitar they smashed,, good pics too,, best concert ever
Yes! My favorite band of all time. I was 12 when I 1st heard them and cried when I couldnt go to their concert 😅. Finally at 36 years old, the original band got back together, with full makeup, and had a concert in Milwaukee. I paid the price and got to see them. I had a great upper side seat that was not far from Gene Simmons. Let me tell you I was in heaven, and yes, I cried again! It was an amazing concert and worth every penny!
We listened to this the other day and my wife told me that this was her first concert. Not just Kiss, but the live album performance of this song. She's a Detroit native. Pretty Wild.
Kiss has gone through a lot of personnel changes. The two that remained was Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. I'm sure this was the 70's. Bc in the early 80's, is when kiss had their first lineup change. Also drastically changed their appearance. They got rid of their makeup, platform boots and clothes. Then in the mid-late 90's Peter and Ace returned and so did the makeup and clothes.
Nobody was bigger than Kiss back in the 70's and 80's. They are showman. I got to see them with their original lineup, their last tour together. I was grinning from ear to ear. Great show and my ears rang for months!!! If you like movies checkout the movie Detroit Rock city. It's a hilarious movie about some guys going to a Kiss concert. Absolutely hilarious. Makes want to dig it up and watch it!! lol
Was at the Sydney concert in 1980 when I was 18, and at the Gold Coast concert in 2022. Both great shows, Gene and Paul both in their 70s still smashing it......
Their concerts are INSANELY entertaining. My fiance, grandson, and I saw them about 8 years ago. My grandson was 5 at the time. He was obsessed with Gene Simmons. It was an amazing, amazing time!
Kiss was huge in the mid 70s. Intact, at that time, that band was billed as the greatest band in the world. The song "Detroit Rock City " had a special meaning for me since I was born, raised, and still live in the suburbs of Detroit. The 70s were such a great time to be a teenager in Detroit ! Detroit in the 70s really was Rock City back then. All the biggest bands did shows here because we had so many large concert halls, and all the shows were consistently sold out. I believe this show was actually filmed in Detroit.
The first time this song was played was at COBO ARENA in Detroit Michigan May 16 1975 it was recorded for their live Album the tour was called dressed to kill
Beth, God Gave Rock n Roll To You pt 2, Heaven's On Fire, and Rock and Roll All Nite are must listen to by these gents. Id recommend the studo versions.
Kiss live preformance is pure diamond. Lots of pyros and other crazy stuff. I saw them in Helsinki 2008 and I was amazed. Also little drunk but still amazed
KISS!! ❤ Still to this day, the BEST live show I have ever seen! Saw them twice in the same year. 1996. They headlined the last ever Donington Monsters of Rock, then at the Manchester Arena in November that year. Original line up reunion tour. Amazing show! ❤ Suggestions for further listening… Love Gun Strutter Cold Gin I Stole Your Love I Love It Loud Heaven’s On Fire Kiss did a long form video called “Exposed” around the time they released the album “Asylum”. Basically all their music videos up to that point plus some live footage and skits in between featuring Gene and Paul. Most of the skits are pretty funny and give you an idea of their personalities. Kiss were the original “mysterious” rock Superheroes! They even had their own Marvel comic which they allegedly donated drops of their blood to add to the ink. (Aside: Alice Cooper was once questioned about his comic and the interviewer asked “Kiss donated their own blood for the ink in their comic, would you consider doing that?” Alice’s answer was “Yeah, I’d use Kiss’ blood to make the ink for my comic!” 😂)
I was never a huge concert goer. Maybe went to 15 concerts in my life (54 years old now), but 6 of them were KISS. Edit: I do blame one of those shows for my hearing loss. Stood for 2 hours+ in front of a 30 foot tall speaker stack. Edit2: The outfits they wore in the '70s were pretty heavy, but they were young. They lost the dress as time went on, but due to better outfits with significantly less weight they were able to go back to them at an older age. Seen them both with the outfits and without. Great either way.
Actually my 1st live concert back in 1980, and the promoting band before them was an unknown band (at that time) called IRON MAIDEN ! What a concert...Greets from germany!
I saw KISS in 1978. It was my third or fourth concert, I was in the 8th grade, and one of my friends that I went with, Sammy Busby, was a really good artist and withdraw perfect drawings of kiss in his school notebooks. He and I and Tony Bolter had my dad drop us off, and at some point Sammy made it to the front row of the general admission and got his eyebrows hinged off from the pyrotechnics. One of the greatest nights of our lives. But to be honest, Paul Stanley's voice that wasn't that good live. But the performance was
Always start with the studio version. In addition if Live why not from the Kiss Alive tour.? Why would you suggest a clip that is not the original band ?? It's confusing , he has no idea the song is from 1976?
Detroit Rock City was written for a fan that died on his way to a KISS concert. This was a hit in the 70's.
Yeah, I was thinking, he didn't get to hear the crash at the end. Hope he listens to the studio version.
Really based on a real event? Never heard this fact (?) or any specifics about such an event in any Kiss Army circles.
"Love Gun", "Forever", "Strutter", "War Machine", "Shout it Out Loud", "Hotter Than Hell", "Black Diamond"... damn, there so many options 😆🔥
Shock Me 🎙❤
Calling Dr. Love, Ladies Room, Love Gun, Come On and Love Me, Christine Sixteen....
Oh thank God a REAL KISS song! Haha I’m a 60 year old grandpa, and this was my very first album at like ten years old!!!
Grandpa metal head! Granny metal head here, I think we all started with Destroyer 😂🤘🤘
Kiss Alive 2 was my first album ever.
1974 K⚡SS ALIVE was my first 🤘

KISS was an experience!!! The lights, lazers and fireworks were always awesome!
KISS - "Rock and Roll All Nite"
100% Another vote for Rock and Roll All Nite!
No way! That’s the absolute last KISS song he should check out, literally every other song they have is better
live brocklin
I mean, I (we) like "I was made for loving you", but... This sound is what Kiss are. Pure Rock 'n Roll. Who's with me?
Try "Rock and Roll All Nite" next.
Keep rockin. Peace 🖤🤘
Kiss Army member since 1977ish! YES! THIS is Kiss, not that disco shit phase they went through.
100,000 years ,what a drum solo.
there's rock and then there's noise
There is absolutely nothing wrong with I Was Made For Loving You... it's just not their typical sound. It was more of a one off to prove that anyone could write a disco song.

Yeah this version is awful and not the original lineup
Just choose the studio -- he'll be much happier
Yeah, I finally gave up and saw them one last time as fake Kiss, but no where near the quality of the original band.
WELCOME TO THE KISS ARMY
Since 1975 ish!
Member since '76. Got to see them 8 times.👍🔥
Story is that this song is about a fan going to a kiss concert and dying on the way to the show. Also for years no one saw them without their make up.
Growing up Gene Simmons loved 2 things about the United States. Comic books and rock and roll. So he combined the 2 and we got KISS! I have loved them since I was a kid in the 70s
You forgot girls
“Do Ya Love Me?”, “God of Thunder”, “Cold Gin” and “Beth” are all phenomenal Kiss classics. 👍🔥
I luv "Butttt do you luv me really luv me"
God of Thunder cannot be over stressed
I am sooo glad you watched the live video link I gave you!
Thank you for giving it to him.
Love em or hate em. KISS is pure rock n roll energy! One of the best live shows you will ever see.
Watch the 1996 live performance of Rock N Roll All Night performed under the Brooklyn bridge. It is not only a wild spectacle but you also get to full version of KISS, all the original members.

It was my first album too! I had been saving my allowance and had $13 ! I'm sure Mom would rather I wanted a Barbie doll or something but she let me buy it anyway ❤
‘Love Gun’, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Strutter’, so many great ones!
You got it! Alive 1 is the best.
Kiss puts on some of the best live performances!!!
So glad I got to see them in concert!! I can't remember why I went to the kitchen, but I remember that excellent concert 40 yrs ago!
PLZ PLZ MOLLY BOY, U GTTA DO I LUV IT LOUD, HEAVENS ON FIRE!!!
This isn't bad but the
Studio version is much better
Ace frehley and Peter kriss are the difference!
Or some 70's live renditions of it. Tempo/energy and mix in this "Rock the Nation" version is tired
Agree, this version is a bit sloppy but fun. The studio version is better listening
Yeah this one’s a bit sloppy for sure. Studio version is a lot better listen IMO.

At the end of the show Johanssen threw out a bunch of roses into the crowd.
I went onto the floor and grabbed some roses for my young daughter.
Johnny let me have their playlist that was taped onto the stage floor.
I got a signed poster from the band.
I gave all that stuff to my daughter of which she still has today.
It was a great bonding experience with my kid.

My 7th grade music teacher blasted KISS regularly 1976.. great classes, great intro. Thanks teach !
So fun!! Saw them in ‘76! Incredible show!🤘🔥
Saw them in concert in 1976 at 17 yrs old. Still ROCKIN at 65 😎 PEACE.
Gotta watch them live back in their heyday, the 1970's....

“You want the BEST, you got the BEST..” the most bombastic bastards in the game! KISS!!!
Saw them in 1977 in Baton Rouge, La. The energy was off the charts!!!
Sorry man but you’re a rocker at heart. Welcome in any metal pub. 😊
My first concert i ever went to was Kiss.. my brother took me back in the early 80s.. seen them a few more times, and they always bring a banger of a show!!
For a lot of the 70s, KISS would tour the USA with RUSH supporting them.
Yes, saw that tour!
This was the first song at my very first concert. Still gives me chills.
Hey man! Look at W.A.S.P. "i wanna be somebody"
My favourite band, they don't get the love and attention that they should.

I really like your reactions. So honest and it's a pleasure to watch you. Greetings from Germany. 🤘🏽
I was aknowledged to the band by watching the movie - Detroit rock city! 🤘🤘🤘
I was 13 when I saw them live. It was around 1976 and it was one of the greatest stage shows you could ever hope for as a rocker!
You have the mind and felling perfects to understand the linguage of guitars ! GREAT !!!
Outstanding Rock performance and song.
I had front row seats when they were in my hometown
The fireworks you could feel,, we got guitar pics,, a piece of the guitar they smashed,, good pics too,, best concert ever
Saw them a couple of years ago. Was front side of the arena and I could feel my make-up melting when all the flames went up during the show 😂🔥
First album I ever got was Love Gun at age 9. First concert at age 12 in 79 was KISS as well. Good times! KISS Army rocks!

Was at the Sydney concert in 1980 when I was 18, and at the Gold Coast concert in 2022. Both great shows, Gene and Paul both in their 70s still smashing it......
Their concerts are INSANELY entertaining. My fiance, grandson, and I saw them about 8 years ago. My grandson was 5 at the time. He was obsessed with Gene Simmons. It was an amazing, amazing time!
Kiss was huge in the mid 70s. Intact, at that time, that band was billed as the greatest band in the world. The song "Detroit Rock City " had a special meaning for me since I was born, raised, and still live in the suburbs of Detroit. The 70s were such a great time to be a teenager in Detroit ! Detroit in the 70s really was Rock City back then. All the biggest bands did shows here because we had so many large concert halls, and all the shows were consistently sold out. I believe this show was actually filmed in Detroit.
The first time this song was played was at COBO ARENA in Detroit Michigan May 16 1975 it was recorded for their live Album the tour was called dressed to kill
I'm 60 years old....been a Kiss fan since the mid 70's. No other band puts on a show like Kiss. I've seen them 6 times.
Beth, God Gave Rock n Roll To You pt 2, Heaven's On Fire, and Rock and Roll All Nite are must listen to by these gents. Id recommend the studo versions.
This was my First favorite band!! (When I was 9yo - 1977). I still original copies of their first 6 albums on vinyl...
Nice Bro'! Good make-up song. Can't go wrong with this one.
Kiss live preformance is pure diamond. Lots of pyros and other crazy stuff. I saw them in Helsinki 2008 and I was amazed. Also little drunk but still amazed
KISS!! ❤
Still to this day, the BEST live show I have ever seen! Saw them twice in the same year. 1996. They headlined the last ever Donington Monsters of Rock, then at the Manchester Arena in November that year. Original line up reunion tour. Amazing show! ❤

Kiss did a long form video called “Exposed” around the time they released the album “Asylum”. Basically all their music videos up to that point plus some live footage and skits in between featuring Gene and Paul. Most of the skits are pretty funny and give you an idea of their personalities.
Kiss were the original “mysterious” rock Superheroes! They even had their own Marvel comic which they allegedly donated drops of their blood to add to the ink.
(Aside: Alice Cooper was once questioned about his comic and the interviewer asked “Kiss donated their own blood for the ink in their comic, would you consider doing that?” Alice’s answer was “Yeah, I’d use Kiss’ blood to make the ink for my comic!” 😂)
Awesome live! Great concerts. Seen them 5 times.
Strutter, love gun, psycho circus,
I was never a huge concert goer. Maybe went to 15 concerts in my life (54 years old now), but 6 of them were KISS.
Edit: I do blame one of those shows for my hearing loss. Stood for 2 hours+ in front of a 30 foot tall speaker stack.
Edit2: The outfits they wore in the '70s were pretty heavy, but they were young. They lost the dress as time went on, but due to better outfits with significantly less weight they were able to go back to them at an older age. Seen them both with the outfits and without. Great either way.
FAIRDINKUM! There you go. I never gave KISS a chance all these years.
Thankyou Mollyboy, you've opened my eyes.
Alaluhua!
Kiss puts hell of a live show. I saw them in Tulsa on their last leg through the states.
My first concert was kiss in Miami FL when I was 14 years old man what a great show
That was on their "Farewell Tour" that just ended like this year, heh. Saw them that year, just not that exact show.
Actually my 1st live concert back in 1980, and the promoting band before them was an unknown band (at that time) called IRON MAIDEN ! What a concert...Greets from germany!
That was really great reaction!!!!Give “I LOVE IT LOUD” music video!
Detroit here...seen them 3 times...always an awesome show😛😛😛😛
My first concert. Kiss in '76. That concert was epic
I saw KISS in 1978. It was my third or fourth concert, I was in the 8th grade, and one of my friends that I went with, Sammy Busby, was a really good artist and withdraw perfect drawings of kiss in his school notebooks. He and I and Tony Bolter had my dad drop us off, and at some point Sammy made it to the front row of the general admission and got his eyebrows hinged off from the pyrotechnics. One of the greatest nights of our lives. But to be honest, Paul Stanley's voice that wasn't that good live. But the performance was
Always start with the studio version. In addition if Live why not from the Kiss Alive tour.? Why would you suggest a clip that is not the original band ??
It's confusing , he has no idea the song is from 1976?
Always leave people alone and let them enjoy what they coose to listen to 😀
I am 60 and grew up LOVING KISS. YESSSSSSS
