I don't pretend to be the worlds biggest Kiss fan or even a Kiss Army member, so I'm no expert but Paul sings the sing well. It's just that Peter Criss brings something to the song that Paul doesn't. I will always enjoy the Criss version more. Great song
I'm feeling 90s nostalgia tonight and Kiss Unplugged on MTV in 1994 or 95 what ever it was. I remember watching it when it aired and Peter and Ace coming out then them getting back together for a short time
It was 1976...I was a fresh 12 year old aspiring drummer...I ate this album up!! Played along til it turned gray..this is still my favorite number..thank you Edgar....never gave forgotten..never will. Adam
It was interesting to hear Paul do his version of this song, plus it worked really well as a red herring for the eventual reunion tunes later in the show. Most fans had heard rumours Ace and/or Peter would be there, but if Pete didn't come out to sing Hard Luck Woman then I guess he's not in the building? Made the moment of him and Ace actually appearing and doing THAT version of Beth even more impactful in my opinion because they'd done this song earlier in the night as a fake out.
The "grit" in Peter's voice always made this song, Paul's voice is too "clean"..... but it is good, I mean.... how can get mad at KISS if you are a fan?
I feel they only did this here to sort of throw the scent off of there being a reunion at the end, the crowd hears Paul singing this and they probably mostly thing "oh shit, so no Peter I guess then..." so when the ending comes they mark out for it big time!
I knew there was a big reunion tour coming because I saw ace and Peter on their club tour and when they both came out to do a mini Kiss concert well I was right after all.
I had never heard this version of this song but I love Peter Criss' vocals on the original but I do have to say (only because I'm partial to Paul Stanley 💜) that Paul's vocals are truly amazing. KISS will bless us with their music for yrs to come. From all generations they will forever be in the hearts of us!
One of my most favourite Kiss songs. I love the original with Peter singing, although I have always thought that Gene would probably also sound good singing this song. But it was a real surprise for me to discover how great Paul was at singing it on the MTV special. Such a shame, and mistake, this song was left off the original CD and DVD releases of Unplugged. Thank goodness for the 'Kissology' DVD release!
I dont know how I'm just discovering this song now. I stumbled on it on Spotify thinking it was a Rod Stewart song. Now I'm listening to it on repeat. Ironically, I love it because it doesn't sound like KISS.
I give Paul credit for writing it, and lord knows Paul doesn't need his narcissistic sociopath ego complimented, but now to reality, Peter Criss took it and knocked it out of the park!!! Catman is why this masterpiece is remembered!!!
I never understood why this song was cut from the official DVD. I started learning English when i was 8 years old after I fell in love with this cassette tape that my father used to make me watch and i loved it even though i didn't know a single word of what they were singing. Today, 21 years later, i can speak English and I've never needed to be in a classroom to learn, it was just for the pure pleasure of understanding what you guys were saying in their songs, my life would certainly be different if I hadn't become interested in it so early. Hugs from Brazil!
I was a kiss freak from 1975 until the early 80s. After Peter and Ace got fired, they weren't the same band. I listen to their old tunes, and that's about it. I really dug the way Peter Criss on this song. Luckily, I still have Kiss Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, rock and roll over and alive 2. I think the first live album was better... I don't know what happened to it, but I wish I still had it, too.
Amazing that Kiss is still packing the house after all these years, and still sound as good as it did when it was new! I know a lotta people think Paul is a little conceited, but he has good buisiness sense and there was a few times that if it hadn't been for him, the band would've ended.
I recall Garth Brooks and Kiss did a cover of the classic Kiss song on a late night show..Garth nailed the song sure sounds like he was a big Kiss fan when he was younger.
Exactly. I love Kiss. I was at the "Kiss Alive II" show at the Los Angeles Forum in August 1977. I remember older people bagging on me and my friends for liking Kiss, Aerosmith & Angel. Now all my friends have become their parents. Closed minded and actually believing THEIR generation is the only one that did anything significant. The arrogance simultaneously stunning and amusing. Oh and I like Lady Gaga. That's right, I said it. :D
They should've let Peter sing this, especially considering he was there anyway to sing Beth. Paul does a good job, but Peter's voice is much better suited to this kind song. And it makes sense. Paul originally wrote it for Rod Stewart and his raspy voice. Peter's got a raspy voice and he sounds quite similar to Rod when he sings this song
I'm 24 and grew up buying CD's. I refuse to download music it's bullshit. If an artist or band is going to take the time to make an album the least I can do is purchase it on CD or Vinyl.
@@williammartin9432 I have almost all of my CDs uploaded in my computer and synced to my phone. I play everything thru my phone to my radio. I don't have to mess with changing discs in the truck anymore. I like it better that way.
@@williammartin9432 I couldn't even tell you the last time I've even seen a cassette, lol. My first home stereo i had as a kid still had an 8 track deck in it. I had a clunky adapter to use for cassettes.
I saw Kiss on their Lick it Up, Animalize and Asylum tours in Austin. Vandenberg / Riot opened on the Lick it Up tour, Queensryche on the Animalize tour and Black and Blue on the Asylum tour. Basically three years in a row. I was 14 when I saw them on the Lick It Up tour.

The truth is, Paul wrote and obviously is a great song writer!!! But, as a die hard Peter Criss fan, Gene said even Paul didn't have any intention of giving this to Rod Stewart!!! They were in studio making Rock and roll over and Paul sung this and Gene says this sounds like a Peter song and Paul reluctantly let Catman sing it and the rest is Kisstory!!! Team Peter and Ace always!!!
Mikes guitar skills have really improved he’s playing a lot more lead lately, Ozz looks great has to be the sweetest guy in the world Robert beat them drums like they owed him money . Really don’t know much about Tim other than his firehouse days solid though
In my opinion, after the original until 1980 and the current formation, it was the best formation without a mask. Paul and Gene were quiet with Bruce on guitar and Eric Singer on drums.
A lot of fans are saying that they should have brought Peter out to sing it. Now, I think it would have been cool to have a couple more songs of just the original lineup at that show, and this would have been a good one to do. However, I think it would have been cool to see Eric Singer sing this one.
Unplugged was one of the last MTV shows that were great.
ハードロックやっているヒトがアコースティックギターやったら、やっぱりフォークとはちがいますね。力強さがある。
かっこいいです❤
This shows just how strong Paul's songwriting is, BUT this is Peter's song vocally.
Wrote it for Rod Stewart.
@@danlewis6591 yeah it’s my fave kiss song, Paul pretty much copped you wear it well by rod for this song
They should have let Eric sing it.
@@danlewis6591 I know. :) Hence why Peter's voive suits it so well.
Paul did a great job , But Criscuola did it well..maybe best in my opinion.
Elvis impersonation to begin the song. Elvis impersonation to end the song. Nailed it.
Sounded more like cartoon Goofy
He is a shame anyway!!! Hand the mic 🎤 to Peter and get the fuck out of the way Paul!!! Team Peter and Ace always
One of my all time favorite KISS songs ...the cat hit a home run on this one but I actually love this version as well
I don't pretend to be the worlds biggest Kiss fan or even a Kiss Army member, so I'm no expert but Paul sings the sing well. It's just that Peter Criss brings something to the song that Paul doesn't. I will always enjoy the Criss version more. Great song
RIP Albert!!!! Huge KISS fan he was and we bonded over this band!!!!
Rest in paradise
I can see why Garth Brooks covered this...he was country, but he always had one foot in the mainstream....it fits him like a glove...
Yes he and Kiss did a live cover on a talk show man Garth Brooks was a big fan of the band and I'm sure he still is.
I bought Kiss My Ass just for Garth’s version. And you can’t get it on iTunes last time I tried some years back.
I'm feeling 90s nostalgia tonight and Kiss Unplugged on MTV in 1994 or 95 what ever it was. I remember watching it when it aired and Peter and Ace coming out then them getting back together for a short time

Kiss é o apice de todas as grandes bandas que eu ja vi em minha vida.
出だしのトーンがピーター・クリスそのものw ありがとう
Kissいいね👍！懐かしい歌ですよねー！最高なんだよね。
この歌、私が中学生の時でした😂懐かしい‼️
Meravigliosa versione !!!!!

I was expecting to dislike this without Peter's vocals, but Paul does a good job.
Totally agree with you! And he wrote the song, so he deserves the right to sing it!
Paul's the man! This was back when his voice was firing on all cylinders.
The "grit" in Peter's voice always made this song, Paul's voice is too "clean"..... but it is good, I mean.... how can get mad at KISS if you are a fan?
Paul wrote it so he better know how to sing it right lol. I agree Paul does a very good job on it.
Still not Peter, period!!!!
O TEMPO PASSA MAS A SAUDADES É INFINITA E COM CERTEZA ESSA FOI E CONTINUA SENDO A MAIOR BANDA DE ROCK DO PLANETA .
やはりポールスタンレーは綺麗な曲を書きますね❗この演奏も上手いですね❗
Nunca en la vida voy a entender porque dejaron fuera de la versión oficial del unplugged esta tremenda canción
何回聞いても良いなぁ❤
What a fantastic song and performance. Kiss u forever
I don't care if Paul Stanley is wearing a wig, great performance by an ordained rock player. Entire band is excellent.
You might be right ha
His voice is awesome. KISS unplugged is still one of my favorite CDs.
Hes got a wig
Paul doesn't wear a wig he has extensions
Wearing a wig is the SHOWBUISNESS 👍♥️🌹💋💋💋💋💋☕🌞
The recent Kiss tour went too I think every country, massive. That's beyond human.
This song is officially 45 years and 6 months old 🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

Супер.
最初の始まりのギターが最高！
I love the country vibe of this song.
Garth Brooks does a good cover
This should have been a radio hit when released. Go Kiss
The song rights may belong to Paul & Gene but it's not the same without Peter Chris singing.

It doesn't matter the time, somewhere in the world, whatever year it is, some 12 or 13 year old boy will hear this song and his mood will change.
I'm a hard luck woman cause I'm listening KISS!! :D
Peter and Ace made them famous and were the real talent and heart and soul of the original lineup, and don't forget that shit
Gene and Paul treated both ace and Peter like shit.. shame on both of them for the crap they did to both members.
hell yeah!!! my favorite kiss song!!!!
this song makes me soooo happy :)
I don't care who owns it I can't stop listening
Paul owns it. He wrote it
Fantastic 💖
This was the best!!!!
Great rock ballad ...80s ...wonderful time
A cut from the 1976 rock and roll over album
I don't understand why they deleted this song from the record. It was really good.
Love this song!
