I must say, I basically forgotten about this song and I enjoyed hearing it again. Not a masterpiece but so what. Some nice chord progressions and his voice fit well. A lot better than many of those teenage songs written around their curiosities of sex. Tacky as hell. ( Maybe due to the fact that I haven't been a teenager since the late '70's. Lol )
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
I always felt so sorry for Ace and Peter. Their have fun additude. A free spirit. I almost died several times between 1976 and 1978. But, I had so many great experiences's and meet so many interesting people, from the most famous, to the people who you never ever heard of. And, I was so much impressed with the skills that they use to not only to servive, be
Was thinking the same listening here, the similarities of Peter and Rod Stewart. Wasn't listening too closely but seemed also to have very similar chord progressions as maybe Maggie May..???...
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
Pues tiene la voz parecida A Jhon Fogerty pero Fogerty 1000 veces mejor para mi es el mejor vocalista junto von Paul Stanley q tb muy do de pecho pero dulce que la hace q me guste más q Fogerty. Peter tb me gusta du voz esq me gustan muchísimos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
Black Diamond was amazing as well, he and Ace shined like a mother fucker on that masterpiece, this was a masterpiece as well!!! Peter was amazing and his unique drumming style and voice was instrumental in the success of Kiss!!!!
He does actually. By the way, there is a video of Rod Stewart covering this song with a KISS tribute band called Sin City KISS in 2016. Check it out. th-cam.com/video/-Iu3j8HHbAo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=O3vgbTlOx4IXSHoG
Peter (and KISS) were helped by the fact that Rod Stewart was at his absolute peak when 'Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman" were released, so they fit right into the Top 40 playlists sounding so much like Stewart's style.
This song was originally written for Rod Stewart but Neil Bogart felt that Peter Criss needed another follow up song after the success of "Beth". Years later Rod would sing this song live with a KISS tribute band called Sin City in 2016.
Peter was always the best dressed/the coolest looking guy in KISS! Peter looked like A STAR! I ❤ the voices of Peter Criss & Rod Stewart. Peter's voice is a little deeper, stronger & raspier than Rod's. Peter's cool, natural silver/grey, Italian curls & Rod's British, "pineapple"/"rooster"/ "shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤

Most underrated song from its period. Truly classic awesome song from start to finish.
It was the hit of that album.
@@jacquesfinster5034 People don't know what underrated means. :) This wasn't underrated at all.

For whatever reason, they never played it live back then. The version from Alive II was done at a soundcheck.
Agree!
I’m absolutely in love with the way he jerks his head back and forth with the beat. Idc how old he is, I’ll always love this man. 🫠🫠🫠🫠❤❤❤❤❤
I love him ( Peter Criss ) is so cute ❤
It's called "head bangin".
He's 78 years old.
Nothing beats the original Catman!!! 🐱⚡️
I really like Eric Carr but Peter Criss was best. Original.
@@dennisb-trains23Eric was my first tattoo ❤ I have his japonese signal on my wrist
@@dennisb-trains23I love Eric too, but Peter was great!
Laviano is the greatest Catman! Anyone who says different is making a fool of themselves.
The Catman and Rod Stewart are definitely brothers from another mother.
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
He sounds much better than odd Stewart
An absolute classic and Ace and Peter still play it together now
I saw a vídeo of them performing this together recently ❤
Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
Love catman, that gritty voice gets me everytime
Peter was a star, voice, charm, charisma, stage presence.
I saw them in 77 at MSG. This is so classic and brings back great memories of a great time.
Friday night, February 18!
@@johnnylombardi8384my first concert
I love this video, long live ORIGINAL KISS!!
👍
Sounds like he was singing it for wife Debra...married 1979 ?
The best kiss singer
Peter has a good raspy tone ! Underrated gem
"Gem" may be pushing it lol
Great hair!
I was just thinking exactly that
Awesome! Thank you, Peter!
Peter Criss is always a man he knew how to entertain us Peter Chris you live forever yes you will
I love his husky voice!
I agree his voice-the best of all.
Still love this song
I love this song always have and always will ❤ Peter sings it fabulously
He can play drums and sing at the same time!
O. WOW.!!!!!!!!!¡ PURE CORN EATER 🌽
I hate to tell you but there are a lot of musicians who can play drums and sing simultaneously. Don Henley Dave grohl Levon Helm etc
I could listen to this song and nothing to lose all day long.
This is the only KISS song I love!
One of the best Songs of all Time! Peter rocks! ♥
Magic
Brilliant
Just love this song ❤️

It's incredible that Paul who wrote the song let Peter sing it considering all the friction between Paul & Peter.
That is interesting...Paul could have done the vocals...Not as well, though.
You bet not as well, he has sung it in concert…Peter’s voice is really nice, raspy and sweet!! Love Ace & Peter!
I tend to think its because Petes voice is really similar to Rod Stewart and Rod was pretty big back then.
Paul knew Peter had the voice for the song just like he knew god of thunder was perfect for Gene.

Gran Peter Criss. Yo cuando los conocí, con 15 años, me impresionaron. Lo pase mal cuando se separaron. Pero larga vida a KISS.🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Always love Peter Criss, and his performance,😊😊
Love this song
These are the type of Kiss’ songs I love. The slow and melodic ones. They had a knack for this type of songs.
I see the first time that dramming with singing . This is one of the great hit songs in KISS and rare video clip.
One of my favorite Kiss songs!
That's such a beautiful song.
A música do Kiss mais linda 😍😍😍😍
Verdade
It ain’t KISS without Peter and Ace
KISS is KISS with or without them.
@@quentinwade8506 if that's so then it could be kiss without gene and paul
Peter and Ace were Kiss, don't kid yourself!!!!!
Полностью согласен
They can call it whatever they want, but without Ace and Peter, I'm not listening.
My most favorite KISS tune. Second favorite... shout it out loud. Alive II.
My Favorite kiss song ever!
I remember that song is incredible
Peter Cris e sua voz rouca e linda!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Peter had One Of The Best Songs of the Band
He is so cute in his makeup
Are most people? Lol
Muita saudade desta época onde o Kiss tinha tanta força, porém ainda tem renome na fama.
He's one talented "Cat!"
I was 8 years old in 1977 ( turned 9 late ) and a member of the KISS Army thanks to my older brother who was 13.
Peter Criss sings better then all the other kiss members..
He does. Just heard him sing this from this year. Sounds like he did 45 years ago.
Ace is 2nd best.
Exactly, by far 👏!!! He has a amazing voice, soulful and powerful!!!
That’s why gene and Paul outed him , they were jealous, that’s my opinion and of Ace too , now their singing to recorded tracks 😮
Truth
I used to hear this on the radio all the time and never had any idea it was KISS. It sounds more like a Rod Stewart song or something.
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
Memories of a ten year old me grabbing two pencils and doing my Criss impression to this tune..
KISS will always be Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter...and no others!🎼🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🥁
I totally agree,Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer didn't create the cat and spaceman characters,Peter and Ace did.
Same here brother! The memories these guys gave me as a teen growing up.......man, I miss 'em!
Una balada muy al estilo de Peter Criss exelente canción y el video muy de los 70s
My opinion he had the best of kiss 😘
This came out right after my daughter was born 🎉🎉🎉
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
This is the real KISS
nunca escuche una voz mas genial
Pues tiene la voz parecida A Jhon Fogerty pero Fogerty 1000 veces mejor para mi es el mejor vocalista junto von Paul Stanley q tb muy do de pecho pero dulce que la hace q me guste más q Fogerty. Peter tb me gusta du voz esq me gustan muchísimos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Сильнейшие рокеры суперская группа рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Song reminds me of a You Wear It Well vibe by Rod Stewart.
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
Uff Excelente
Good tune 👌
Favorite Kiss song is Love Gun, second is Hard Luck Woman.
Black Diamond was amazing as well, he and Ace shined like a mother fucker on that masterpiece, this was a masterpiece as well!!! Peter was amazing and his unique drumming style and voice was instrumental in the success of Kiss!!!!
Always have love this song. I love the way Peter sings it. But paul can sing it to
Peter did a great job on this song and Beth this song beat is a lot like Maggie May
Paul Stanley wrote it in hopes Rod Stewart would record it. Glad he didn't.
Best Kiss song ever!!!!!❤
Peter sounds a little like Rod Stewart

awesome
Best Video ever 🥁🤘
Awsome Song
Luv it reminds me of my childhood - Nener never land - A world away
Amen Jim!
That was so good😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Funny how pauls playing lead and ace is playing rhythm.
love how ace and Paul share that double neck. Wonder where that guit is today?
Its funny that the best singer in Kiss wasn't even considered the lead singer
Bill Acouin , their manager, he probably sold it among other items to feed his cocaine habit.
Comme j aime cette chanson 🥰😌🥰🇫🇷🙏🎵🎵🎵💐
Que perron canta,nunca lo habia escuchado!!!aunque me fascina la voz de mi amorsote Stanley Bert Eisen,osea Paul Stanley!!!
First the Faces, then KISS. You rock Rod!😏
This song is the same year I was born I love it😊
Peter (and KISS) were helped by the fact that Rod Stewart was at his absolute peak when 'Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman" were released, so they fit right into the Top 40 playlists sounding so much like Stewart's style.
Genial canción ❤
I love this song so much 😸
Awesome song 😊
Happy birthday Peter. Too bad Gene and Paul give you lots of hard luck.
Now this Mr Peter badass Cat Criss no one absolutely no one can compare to u Brother
Ya know it's funny....Paul and Gene are the front men yet I love to listen to Peter sing more than BOTH of them combined
Forever KISS!!!
Uma das melhores do kiss💋
Eerily sounds like Rod Stewart. Peter's raspy voice was perfect rock
This song was originally written for Rod Stewart but Neil Bogart felt that Peter Criss needed another follow up song after the success of "Beth". Years later Rod would sing this song live with a KISS tribute band called Sin City in 2016.
Man...i love this song. I glad Rod Stewart didn't want this song! But a i like Rod to...
Peter and Ace should have sung most of Kiss's songs.
Is a great hit!!!
Peter was always the best dressed/the coolest looking guy in KISS! Peter looked like A STAR!
I ❤ the voices of Peter Criss & Rod Stewart. Peter's voice is a little deeper, stronger & raspier
than Rod's. Peter's cool, natural silver/grey, Italian curls & Rod's British, "pineapple"/"rooster"/
"shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
Best shag haircut on PC...love it 🌟
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
Love this song memories
Peter Criss was the Voice ! Best EVER ❤️
Written by Paul to pitch to Rod Stewart, Rod snubbed it (as he ALREADY recorded “ Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”), and the rest is KISStory!..
The golden age of Kiss! Back when they had superhero status...
Hermoso año !!!!naci yo !
Tu est un grand percussionniste et tu chantes si etic❤🎉
I’m glad Gene showed up
GO NAVY ❤❤❤
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤
If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first Hello
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you Hard Luck Woman
You ain't a Hard Luck Woman
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Before I go let me Kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you Hard Luck Woman
You ain't a Hard Luck Woman
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags, whoo, leavin' you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
Bye, bye my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh
