ahhhh...the disco song. I remember after this song came out, fans were picketing in front of the stadium before the concert with 'no disco' signs. fun times.
That's when Australia stepped in and said we'll take it! Australia took the fandom to the next level. By the time of the release of Unmasked it was estimated 1 in 11 Aussie homes owned a KISS album..
I think it’s crazy that rockers back then hated on disco because I love rock but disco is great too! It gets you moving, the groove gets ya 🤣 I feel like if people back then could see into the future and see how shitty mainstream music becomes they would of appreciated disco more 🤣
This song was written with Desmond Child, who has written more hits than you could shake a stick at. Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin On A Prayer", Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like A Lady", "Angel", "What It Takes, and "Crazy", and tons more for many successful artists.
This was a huge radio & club hit in 1979. It was Kiss's contribution to Disco. '78 & '79 were the years many Rock bands released a Disco-ish song. "Miss You" by the Stones & "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" Rod Stewart were two other good examples.
KISS turned me into a drummer and lover of music at the ripe old age of 6. I had a older cousin that was super cool and shared all his music with me and his younger brother. He gave us full control of his music and he was a drummer and honestly my first influence:) thanks Bruce!
My favorite band all through middle school. Then Back in Black came out when I was in HS and that changed everything for me. Kiss will always hold a place in my heart and I still enjoy their music. Their concerts are absolutely ridiculous, even the one I saw just a couple of years ago.
Also they were the ones to actually start painting their face after seeing Alice Cooper. But he was the only one at the time that was doing something different and they wanted to go even bigger hence why more face paint and the costumes
The tour for this album in 1978-79 was my very first concert, I was 12 years old. This song, I consider to be disco KISS, as it was that Era. This concert changed my life though, from that point on, I had to see all my favorite bands live! It took my ears 2 days to recover, lol! ~~Leslie
Glad you liked it. Its so hard not to get sucked in by the infectious groove this one has. The KISS-Co era of KiSS. I love that album. Check out Sure Know Something or Magic Touch from the album too.
Gene said in an interview last year, he absolutely hates having to play this song. Not becauae it's disco-esque, but because he doesn't like singing that background vocal.
According to a few sources, in addition to lead vocals, Stanley played rhythm and bass. Gene only sang backup vocals. And the drums were played by studio musician Anton Fig - later of the Late Show Band.
At the time this song came out, true Kiss fans disliked the song because they thought it was too disco-like. However it did gain them fans who didn’t listen to their past heavy metal music. Big song! Paul Stanley is their lead and main singer, but the other guys did take lead on occasional songs.
Wife Speaking.., Yes they were one of the first.., I saw them on the "Hot in the Shade" tour"..No Makeup...Gene threw me several Guitar picks..Such a Cool concert!!
Sooooo many great KISS songs -- Black Diamond, 100000 Years, Parasite, I Want You, Detroit Rock City, Love Gun, Firehouse, C'mon And Love Me, Watchin You, Strange Ways, God Of Thunder, Two Sides Of The Coin, Creatures Of The Night, Saint And Sinner, Rock And Roll Hell, I Love It Loud, War Machine, Lick It Up, Exciter, Heaven’s On Fire, I've Had Enough, Tears Are Falling, Who Wants To Be Lonely, I'll Fight Hell To Hold You, Hide Your Heart, Rise To It, Betrayed, Unholy, Hate, Psycho Circus, Modern Day Delilah, Hell Or Hallelujah.
I'm not sure when Alice Cooper started painting his face, but I was listening to them both at the same time. Way back when, in the sunny slopes of long ago.😎
Paul Stanley did actually play bass on this particular song (very fucking well I might add)... he actually played lead and backing vocals, rhythm guitar and the bass as he was the first to record most of this song on his lonesome.. so the guy in the middle was very much correct
That's definitely Ace on lead guitar. Nobody has his sound, feel and timing. Wiki lists Paul as lead vocals, bass and rhythm guitar on here though. As a bassist for 38 years myself, I can say that Paul knocks that bassline out of the park!
@@swampfox9633 so Brian May, Slash, David Gilmour and Jimmy Page all have Ace's feel and sound?! Hmmm...I could've sworn they were all individuals. Who knew?!?
On this recording Paul Stanley is lead vocals, backing vocals, rhythm guitar & he also played the bass, Gene Simmons is backing vocals, Ace Frehley is lead guitar & backing vocals, Anton Fig of the David Letterman Show Band fame is playing drums & Vini Poncia, the album's producer is doing backing vocals & playing the synthesizer.
2:01 Just to clear a fact up for anyone wondering, (no hate to these guys) the only time they went without makeup was the “unmasked” era which started in 83’ but now they are back to wearing full makeup every concert. Even with them being 61-76 years old. KISS Army is the strongest army! Rock on!!!! 💋 Also I find it more interesting for people to react to less popular Kiss songs. This one like they said isn’t their biggest hit but its another one that if you’ve listened/heard of KISS… you know this song.
Cold Gin Black Diamond Strutter Deuce Detroit Rock City Love Gun I Stole Your Love C'mon and Love Me Tomorrow and Tonight Making Love Hotter Than Hell 100,000 Years Shock Me Watchin You Plaster Caster God of Thunder ......doesn't even scratch the surface on KISS
My cousin still bitches about this being their sellout song to this day. I always laugh and say "Yeah. KISS, the band with a Saturday morning cartoon show, action figures, comic books and lunchboxes NEVER sold out". Love the band, and the song. And the vid!
Yes all the band members sing and have songs in which they are the lead. For instance Back in the New York Groove is sung by Ace Frehley, Dr. Love is sung by Gene Simmons and Beth is sung by Peter Criss and of course Paul Stanley is lead on most of their songs.
not a huge Kiss fan but this a serious record. The want to start tapping the foot syndrome reminds me of a 70"s english band Status Quo who we would put on if a party was slow to percolate. Never failed to get everyone moving
I saw KISS in Nashville in 2019. The pyrotechnics would vibrate your chest. They put on one of the best concerts. The only one better was Queen. Gene Simmons hated this song. Paul Stanley wrote it and Gene said what is my part, Paul said, "Dodododadodooo" lol
I don't remember exactly who, but I think Paul Stanley said in 1979 when this song was written, he said: "we can play disco too", and disco in the 70s was very popular then, in the trend of all the music charts. If you go to TH-cam and look at the number of views, 533 million you will understand that this is a hit. Kiss is cool, I think even not the most ardent fans of this band liked it.
Commenting just because I want to say I love your YT name! Hocus Pocus Focus, is one of the most gratifying YT searches. Lol because the song is amazing, and if your lucky, your might find the movie clip from "baby driver" the movie, which showcases the song "focus" by the band "hocus pocus", during one of the coolest car/foot/shootout, chase scenes in ANY action movie, with which the choreography matches the music so amazingly perfect, one can't help but to fall in love with both the song and movie! That being said, WOO! YEAH!...hocus pocus!....focus....yeah!!....kinda lost some steam there at the end. 😆
The version from ALIVE III is the definitive version of this song. If they had done it like the ALIVE III version, they wouldn't have lost so many fans back in 1979....
So I was a little kid and picked this song on the jukebox at Waffle House... when it came on my brother told my grandparents they were devil worshippers and I liked music from the Devil 😄😄😄 He liked country, so he was going to heaven 😈😈😈
IMO as far as KISS songs go "I was made for loving you" is a bottom middle tier in their song catalog & to be honest most KISS fans don't really care for it because of it's disco aspects, however if you're lucky enough to attend a concert where they play it live - it's one of the most memorable highlights of the show.
To understand the characters in this video and the roles that they play you would have to see the original video. Paul Stanley the one with the star on his face the lead vocalist Gene Simmons the demon plays the bass, Ace freely the spaceman plays the lead guitarist, the cat man plays the drums and the accents and all the things that you like about the drums. Paul Stanley also plays rhythm guitar. To understand a lot of these groups especially the older groups you would have to watch original videos or at least live videos. I like watching the original videos myself.
fan here since 1976 yes this is a good song unfortunately at the time Most of the fickle kiss fans Wind that this was too much of a disco song and jump ship. Some of them will also let you know that Peter Criss didn’t play drums on the album and that some of Ace Frehley’s guitar work was dubbed over. However they did play this live in the 70s with Peter Criss and ace frehley and it sounded just as amazing. Kiss songs are very diversified so there is some thing for Everyone this is part of what makes them great. Enjoy cruising through their library you’ll get many different genres just from different decades have fun and thanks for your reactions I love when the younger generation discovers great music like this.
Guys you gotta give love gun a listen..or I stole your love....especially live .omg .don't write kiss off....mate they are brilliant.....do yourself a favour......
I wish you guys would have played the official video to this. Also, this song was released in 1975 or 1976 . I saw them live in summer of 1976 at the Montreal Forum, and they opened with this song. Everyone went crazy! Gene Simmons descended from the ceiling onto the stage, on wires. This song was #1 in the US So they were pre - ZZ top's prime.
@@justatalismanpassingby4106 sorry. This is what happens when you get older. Lol. But I know for a fact that I was living in Florida by 1979, and it had to be the summer of 78 that I saw them at the Montreal forum. I guess the show was still amazing, without this song, but I could swear they opened the show with this song. I wish someone else who attended their 1978 Montreal forum show, could confirm or deny.
Alice Cooper did the face paint in the earlier 70s, just a few years before KISS arrived on the scene in the mid 70s Paul Stanley is the lead singer (who also wrote the song), Gene Simmons and Ace Freeley are on guitars while Peter Criss is on drums. It would help you a lot to watch the real video and not just do the audio.
Ahhhhh the song that sunk Kiss Hardcore fans REVOLTED when this album came out because of it's strong disco ties they did however pick up a whole new batch of fans but it was smaller and weaker. Because of this they went from selling out Madison Square Garden to barely being able to mostly fill lesser venues. After this they released another that tanked and THEN they released the album that really tanked the band a concept album called "Songs From The Elder" that was absolutely horrible and the complete wrong direction. In the aftermath they took off the make up, reconfigured the band and started rockin again but never were to reach the stardom they had in the 70's. Peace
People who react to KISS for the first time seems to always go with this Disco/Pop KISS song. Fun song, but the real KISS rock was the music before this. I'm a huge KISS fan and like about 90% of there stuff including th pop KISS. The other 10% is the music from the Elder, yikes. Just my opinion.
BTW, Paul Stanley is a trained Opera singer and did "Phantom" in Canada. Crazy falsetto.
ahhhh...the disco song. I remember after this song came out, fans were picketing in front of the stadium before the concert with 'no disco' signs. fun times.
Great song! And as a rocker I say, disco rocked!
That's when Australia stepped in and said we'll take it! Australia took the fandom to the next level. By the time of the release of Unmasked it was estimated 1 in 11 Aussie homes owned a KISS album..
I think it’s crazy that rockers back then hated on disco because I love rock but disco is great too! It gets you moving, the groove gets ya 🤣 I feel like if people back then could see into the future and see how shitty mainstream music becomes they would of appreciated disco more 🤣
I've seen them live in Mexico City about 8 times. People gets the craziest with this song
Gentle Men welcome to Disco. This was song the separated Kiss fans when it came out. Some hated it and some Loved it.
This song was written with Desmond Child, who has written more hits than you could shake a stick at. Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin On A Prayer", Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like A Lady", "Angel", "What It Takes, and "Crazy", and tons more for many successful artists.
He sure like cashing the check for this song This was a big hit for them
This was a huge radio & club hit in 1979. It was Kiss's contribution to Disco. '78 & '79 were the years many Rock bands released a Disco-ish song. "Miss You" by the Stones & "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" Rod Stewart were two other good examples.
Also add "Emotional Rescue" by The Rolling Stones and "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by The Kinks.
My goodness, at 12:27 the drums and bass! Heard this song growing up, but listening closer - That part is crazy good!
KISS turned me into a drummer and lover of music at the ripe old age of 6. I had a older cousin that was super cool and shared all his music with me and his younger brother. He gave us full control of his music and he was a drummer and honestly my first influence:) thanks Bruce!
There is a very good live concert version of this song on TH-cam
That drumbreak really got me into the band, simple as that. My first LP album
Me too!!
My favorite band all through middle school. Then Back in Black came out when I was in HS and that changed everything for me. Kiss will always hold a place in my heart and I still enjoy their music. Their concerts are absolutely ridiculous, even the one I saw just a couple of years ago.

KISS Army Germany was here, great reaction! @/kiss 4 Peace @/kiss your Eminem ... ENEMY!
My favorite kiss song💯😎
Ace Frehley is a very underrated guitar player. People in the know put him in the top 10. He was my boyfriend in High School!
I definitely suggest 'Black diamond' and 'Cold gin' from KISS, those songs are amazing to listen to imo
That's actually Anton Fig (David Letterman band) on drums. Criss was not deemed fit for the studio track.
however peter Did play this live and it sounds just as good
Glad you liked it. Its so hard not to get sucked in by the infectious groove this one has. The KISS-Co era of KiSS. I love that album. Check out Sure Know Something or Magic Touch from the album too.
Kiss was my favorite band in middle school and the first couple of years of highschool. Then I grew up.
Ace freely is one of the best guitar 🎸 and makes it work and the drummer cat 🐈 man one of best
Esa canción es formidable una de las más exitosas, populares y clásicas de la mítica KISS
Gene said in an interview last year, he absolutely hates having to play this song. Not becauae it's disco-esque, but because he doesn't like singing that background vocal.
Gene hates everything expected of being Gene
This song is amazing live because they use pyros at the end that basically shakes the arena.
According to a few sources, in addition to lead vocals, Stanley played rhythm and bass. Gene only sang backup vocals. And the drums were played by studio musician Anton Fig - later of the Late Show Band.
Those head movements in sync with the beat 😂✌🔥🔥
Actually Paul Stanley played bass and rhythm guitar on this track
You had to see the concert live, they put on a show yay, good review yeah 🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁👏😎
At the time this song came out, true Kiss fans disliked the song because they thought it was too disco-like. However it did gain them fans who didn’t listen to their past heavy metal music. Big song!

I like this song but my favorite by Kiss is Tears are falling 🎶
My cousin still bitches about this being their sellout song to this day. I always laugh and say "Yeah. KISS, the band with a Saturday morning cartoon show, action figures, comic books and lunchboxes NEVER sold out". Love the band, and the song.

This was Kiss' "Disco" song... better than most disco songs actually.
You must see that video in concert. It is really good when they sing that song

Love this song and it reminds me allot of J Geils Band - Come Back..................... 2 bands that gave us a great rock/disco tune each.
You gotta check out KISS-God of Thunder from the Alive2 album! Such a banger that one!
Fun fact Gege Simmons actually produced Vanhallens first album
No he didn't.. that would be Ted Templeman
Gene took them to the studio and produced their first studio demo.
ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS IN THE WORLD
Their biggest hit is actually Beth, from the Destroyer album
This was their one and only Disco song they ever did
Guys, you have to react to their song I still love you, live MTV unplugged 1994. Paul Stanley was at his peek.
I don't remember exactly who, but I think Paul Stanley said in 1979 when this song was written, he said: "we can play disco too", and disco in the 70s was very popular then, in the trend of all the music charts.

Detroit Rock City, Hard-luck Woman, Beth , Shout It Out Loud, Rock and Roll all Night, God Of Thunder, Black Diamond,
They were force to do this disco song. And became their biggest hit
By the way...KISS has done MANY retirement tours lol
Commenting just because I want to say I love your YT name! Hocus Pocus Focus, is one of the most gratifying YT searches.

That song was a part of the soundtrack of my youth.

Do a reaction now to the video of the song
Solid hit for sure!
I’m not a Kiss fan but I like this song (I love disco era too)
The version from ALIVE III is the definitive version of this song. If they had done it like the ALIVE III version, they wouldn't have lost so many fans back in 1979....
Beth is another amazing one
I believe that's Anton Fig on the drums.
Check out something like 'Unholy' or 'I Want You' which are more representative of the KISS sound
This is their disco rock song I was 10 or 11 when it came out
New subscriber...your reaction earned it
Black diamond ,Detroit rock city, lick it up live
You gotta check out them playing this live, it’s so much better especially the performance from Sydney 1980.
Please do a video on the original video of this song,.. Then you get to see them perform it,.much better
The lead singer on this one is deaf from one side
I think it's stupid that kiss fans from back when got butt hurt over this song. It's freaking sexy.
So I was a little kid and picked this song on the jukebox at Waffle House... when it came on my brother told my grandparents they were devil worshippers and I liked music from the Devil 😄😄😄 He liked country, so he was going to heaven 😈😈😈
Check out Survivor "Eye of the Tiger". It's in the Rocky lll soundtrack. Great rhythm.
this song charted at # 11 and might be the best selling single of the bands career even though Beth hit #7 and Forever hit #8
At one period of time not a long time however it was number one, just goes to show hoWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP
