      Ed Hooper It’s all about the When and Where for my favorite albums.
      When I became a fan it was 1976 so when there was a curve ball in the catalog I would be disgruntled like a MOFO!!!! Growing up with Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, Rock and Roll Over , ALIVE and then to bump into Dynasty, Unmasked, Elder and even Crazy Nights was like waking up next to a fat smelly broad😂😂🤩

      At the time it came out in I guess 1987 I loved it, I was 15 years old. I saw Kiss on that tour in January of 1988, my first concert. Great memories.

    Despite my avatar, my solo album order is this:
    Ace
    Gene
    Peter
    Paul
    It's kind of an order of whose record surprised me most.
    Ace, everyone doubted he could put anything together.
    Gene, very undemonlike
    Peter, pretty much what I expected, but like Ace, surprised he could do it
    Paul, exactly what I expected. Not one surprise.

    I’m not a picklewhistler but unmasked is a very underrated album. It’s not the Love Gun or Rock and Roll Over kind of stuff that Kiss was known for but it is a damn good pop rock record. Paul, Gene, and Ace has great melodies and chorus on the album. “Tomorrow” and “Easy As it Seems” are some of the standouts in my opinion. Great fucking list though. Ace’s solo album is so damn good

    Dr Fukk, 100% Ace Frehley solo is the best album with a Kiss logo on the front, still sounds amazing and innovative, very important for me... I got Dressed to Kill in second spot.

    I really like "I Still Love You" on the Unplugged album.
    That's the album I would use to introduce KISS to women. Had that album on, after "I still love you" played, she just cowgirled the hell out of me...she didn't need foreplay, was ready after that song.
    So it's on my fav list : )

    I'm glad you gave Asylum more of a better ranking one of my favorite albums from kiss. My First kiss concert . I seen them at the cow palace. The band w.a.s.p opening band, great show. King of the mountain kicks ass . Paul and Gene vocals were on point and listen to Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick tearing up. Secretly Cruel is one of my Favorite tracks from Gene, Listen to Bruce solo sick.

    You and I are in 100% agreement on the top 3 KISS Records. Rock & Roll Over is their best studio album. Only difference is I
    Put Alive 3rd, Ace 2nd and Rock & Roll Over definitely number 1. I think you had Dressed to Kill as number 4? If so, absolutely right again.
    Great video. I think I need to start checking out your other channels and Facebook. (Then get my fellow Metal Warrior Veterans to check out your stuff too)

  • @johndor7890
    @johndor7890 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like your knowledge and enthusiasm. Great video. One of the facts about Ace that people don’t know is that Ace had an intestinal problem that caused him to have massive amounts of gas. There were times during concerts that the other members of kiss could not be around Ace because of the gas. Ace did not make any excuses, but readily admitted he had some intestinal problems and his gas was a real issue for him. I’m not sure if he ever got it corrected, but I would imagine passing gas as much as Ace did would be very embarrassing and uncomfortable for him. Great video and Alive 1975 is my favorite!

      I think you mean Unmasked, right?
      The Elder and Unmasked were the first two albums I got the remasters of if that tells you anything. She's so European and Easy as it Seems are favorites. I always thought the songwriting and concepts were special with those two. You know, the fake ass (but beautiful) girl you can't seem to shake and how it always seems like the breakup is so easy for the one person while the other is struggling with it.

Id say the least favourite of mine would be Sonic Boom and my absolute faviurite is Love Gun. But i will say this...the weakest KISS song i have ever heard was Freak. Despite its positive message, it was a lame song.

He has a nice modern house on a small plot near her large plot. So, don't ever feel sorry for Ace. He's got an exclusive mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, a beuatiful young lady and all kinds of cars and toys. I'm not saying he hasn't earned it but dont feel that just cause he's not in the main lineup, that he's in the dumps. Shmackahmagob

    Ace's '78 album is the best of the 4, but if Paul and Gene HOARDED all of their best songs to use on their solos albums, their's would've been better. Could you imagine if Paul's '78 solo album had "Strutter", "Hotter Than Hell", "Detroit Rock City", "Black Diamond", "C'mon And Love Me", "Mr Speed", etc. It would've slayed!

    FYI, that version of the first Kiss album with "Kissing Time" listed but missing from the album was likely original, a transitional/mispress from the tail end of the original pressings...
    On the US copies, "Kissing Time" was listed on the Side II label of the vinyl, as well as a sticker mentioning it's inclusion on the front sleeve, but was never actually pressed on the album.
    On Canada copies, "Kissing Time" was included in the track listings on the back of the sleeve, but not printed on the Side II label of the vinyl itself, and the track was never actually pressed to the album.
    I could be wrong, I'm by no means a Kiss aficionado, just happened to be digging through this info on Discogs the other day before I came across this video. $80 actually seems to be roughly the going rate (in 2022 at least).

    I love the Elder. Got it when it came out. Yeah it was weird but i thought Kiss was just onto something i wasnt aware of yet. Made it mysterious. Still listen to it. Young and wasted is the best Kiss song. Especially off LIU. Also love Not for the Innocent and All Hell. Sooo great.

      Lick It Up is definitely my favorite non-makeup album and I may even put it in my top 5 Kiss albums.

    I love Crazy Nights! I came to KISS through their non make-up stuff so it has a special place in my heart. Much better than Hot In The Shade imo, though if you'd strip 5 songs from that album you're left with a pretty decent bunch of tunes I think. Boomerang is amazing! Both albums are better than the Peter Chris and Gene Simmons solo albums for me. I agree that Alive III should have focused on the 80s stuff. It has a killer version of Creatures Of The Night though. Like it more than Alive IV, which is fun but a bit pointless.

    Without including solo or live albums, my bottom three chronologically arranged… Dynasty, Unmasked & Crazy Nights. Top three chronologically arranged... Hotter than Hell, Rock and Roll Over & Carnival of Souls. As for the solo albums... While I put Ace & Paul in a tie for first, I actually like Peter's quite a lot. I know his style isn't in the wheelhouse of a lot of KISS fans, but for the style that it is, I honestly believe it holds up better than any of the other three. I Can't Stop the Rain may be the best song of all four albums. IMHO, Gene's is crap but it has grown on me a little.

      Your opinion is wrong! Just kidding lol. But i like COS way better than CN. Much better lyrically, and the dirgy guitar sound reminds me of a modern Hotter Than Hell.

      @Andy Salter I love monster more then sonic boom. But I do love modern day Delilah, Russian roulette and say yeah. And hot in the shade I don't like either but I still love forever, rise to it, hide your heart and little Cesar

      @@mikeracicot5003 I never thought of it like that the modern-day hotter then hell. I'm just not a big fan of grunge. Even tho I like nirvana. My mom loves grunge. I don't know it's kinda like punk in a way I may like Billy idol and the ramones but I don't like the sex pistols. I like a few grunge artist just not a big fan of grunge.

  • @giraffesareselfish9563
    @giraffesareselfish9563 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I mostly agree with this, I personally would have ranked Lick It Up higher, maybe top 5. I can't say anything about Monster or Sonic Boom, I think they are the only Kiss albums I never owned or listened to at all. Yes, Ace Frehley is the best overall album.

  • @markbirchette8740
    @markbirchette8740 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I still have my original 33 1/3 Rock And Roll Over with the sticker sheet. I also think the KISS, ACE solo is the best. Space Invader and Spaceman as well as Anomaly.

    I talked to a sound man years ago who ran ound for big name acts he said "all live albums are fake to a degree, there is no good live album where there was not some kind of re-editing-re mixing done..oh and i agree with the Elder comments I am aHUGE fan of the ELDER as well.!!
