@@lisatiptoes the entire band hated this song as did the hardcore fans. Paul said he could write a hit disco song in like an hour and he did proving that disco was mindless. Interpret it how you want but thats the jist of it
Ok, there's some misinformation here. The band didn't HATE the song. Paul thought writing a disco song would be interesting just to see if he could, and asked Desmond Child to help him. The funny part is when it was presented to Gene (before Paul played it for him) Gene asked, 'What's my part"? and Paul said "doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo-ddo doo" and Gene was like WTF?? It's true that Gene doesn't care for the song, but when it went off into the stratosphere and was played in every disco in the world, bringing the band MASSIVE exposure including the money that followed, he relented. Gene's only demand was that they 'rock it up' live and tone down the disco aspect a bit, which Paul agreed to.
They all sang lead sometimes. This singer is Paul Stanley. Gene has a grittier rock voice! I loved Ace Frehley(lead guitar) Gene sang and played bass! They put on a hella good live show! Nothing wrong with being a little freaky 😜❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
This was a 1979 disco hit by Kiss... they were on the same record label as Donna Summer and Parliament - disco acts, so they went that route briefly in 1979/ '80... Here's the brief story of Kiss: Paul Stanley (vocals & guitar) and Gene Simmons (vocals & bass) met in the early 70's in NYC... both wrote songs and were aspiring musicians that joined a local band named Wicked Lester... Stanley & Simmons did not get along often, but both worked hard and realized that they clicked musically... In 1972, the duo decided that they wanted to form a new band and looked for new musicians... A local Peter Criss (drums) joined and auditions for a lead guitarist brought in Ace Frehley (lead guitar) by 1973 and named the band Kiss ... They loved a band name New York Dolls that wore feminine makeup, but they didn't like that image for themselves... After seeing Alice Cooper perform one night in NYC, they were inspired to do what Alice was doing w/ makeup and creating a character onstage... only all 4 members of Kiss would create their own characters. Paul Stanley became the 'Starchild'... Gene Simmons became the 'Demon'... Peter Criss the 'Catman' ... and Ace Frehley the 'Spaceman'... A TV producer named Bill Aucoin saw the band perform one night and signed on as manager and quickly signed Kiss to a record deal w/ Casablanca Records... Aucoin also taught Kiss how to create a visual spectacle onstage to add to their music - pyro and bombs were used... Gene Simmons would breathe fire and then spit fake blood onstage... Ace Frehley would have a smoking guitar that would shoot bottle rockets from the neck... Peter Criss had his drums rise above the stage... and Paul Stanley was the band's frontman and ringleader. Even though Paul and Gene wrote the majority of songs, Peter Criss would also sing certain songs... Ace Frehley wrote songs and eventually sang on Kiss songs by 1977... However, Kiss released 3 studio albums by 1975 and none sold commercially and the band was going bankrupt, despite thousands of fans coming to see Kiss on tour... It was a double live album 'Alive!' in 1975 that finally broke Kiss commercially and a live version of 'Rock and roll all nite' ... (sung by Gene) became a hit single. Kiss considered themselves a hard rock band, and hoped their 1976 album 'Destroyer' would be a hit... What happened was that a piano ballad 'Beth' ... sung by drummer Peter Criss became a huge pop single from that record. Kiss was the biggest live band by 1977 and the Kiss image and logo became merchandising gold selling everything from radios to comic books by 1978. But the original band was falling apart by 1978... Kiss decided that each member release a solo album that year, all under the Kiss banner... Ace Frehley scored the biggest of the 4 solo records... In 1979, Kiss opted for a disco sound w/ the 'Dynasty' album... and "I was made for lovin' you" became their biggest international single... Unfortunately, the band's pop sound alienated their rock fans and Kiss' popularity declined significantly... A 2nd disco album 'Unmasked' in 1980 sold less. It also marked the end of the original Kiss... drummer Peter Criss was no longer playing on Kiss records because accidents, drugs and alcohol had hampered his skills (a studio drummer was used on 'Dynasty' and 'Unmasked') and he was out of Kiss by 1980. Ace Frehley was also struggling w/ drugs and alcohol as Kiss hired Eric Carr (drums) to replace Peter Criss in '80... but their next album 'Music from the Elder' in 1981 was an experimental flop record... Ace Frehley left the band by 1982... Kiss was a trio when they returned w/ the album 'Creatures of the night' (1982) and had finally returned to a hard rock sound, but no would listen... and it didn't help when Kiss toured w/ new lead guitarist Vinnie Vincent in addition to new drummer Eric Carr, both wearing new makeup characters onstage. In 1983, Kiss decided that the band's makeup image had run its course... Paul Stanley opted to have Kiss appear unmasked on MTV and reintroduce Kiss to a new audience w/ a non-makeup makeover - it worked. Their 1983 album 'Lick it up' became a platinum success... Kiss had to switch lead guitarists again in 1984, when Mark St. John recorded their album 'Animalize'... but he suffered an arthritic condition and had to be replaced by Bruce Kulick (lead guitar) who was a member of Kiss for the rest of their non-makeup era... Kiss still had platinum successes and were selling out arenas once again in the 80's. Tragically, longtime drummer Eric Carr was diagnosed w/ cancer in 1991... despite undergoing treatment, he passed away in late 1991. Kiss fans still remember Eric Carr and his thunderous drum sound that defined Kiss in the non-makeup years. Eric Singer (drums) joined Kiss in 1992 for their album 'Revenge'... but the band was in decline again in the 90's... In 1995, Kiss performed for 'MTV Unplugged' and ended their set w/ original members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley performing w/ them. That gig gave the inspiration to reunite the original Kiss in 1996 for a worldwide tour in full makeup... The "Alive '96/ '97" Reunion tour was their biggest to date... Kiss hoped to capture the original band for a new album 'Psycho circus' in 1998, but Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were reportedly already at odds w/ Paul and Gene's goals for Kiss... the album was completed w/ session musicians. The original Kiss embarked on a 'Farewell tour' in 2000/ '01... and Peter Criss was excluded once again in 2001 after demanding more money from the band... Eric Singer (drums) returned to finish the '01 tour wearing Peter Criss' makeup... Ace Frehley was out again by '02. Paul and Gene decided that Kiss would continue past 2002... their longtime tech Tommy Thayer (lead guitar) assumed Ace Frehley's character and even after Peter Criss returned for a 2003 tour, it was Eric Singer (drums) who took over wearing Criss' character permanently in 2004. This would be the version of Kiss in makeup that would record and tour for 2 decades... Kiss recently ended their touring career in 2023 w/ final shows in Madison Square Garden in NYC. Kiss klassicks that I recommend - "Shout it out loud" ... 'Parasite' (live version) ... 'Detroit rock city' ... 'Deuce' ... 'I love it loud' ... 'Love gun' (live version) ... 'Lick it up' ... 'Tears are falling' ... 'Unholy'... 'Creatures of the night'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
I've heard that another singer (I'll just say a twin) suggested that they put their makeup back on again. I watched an interview and he was discussing it
I was 15 when Kiss was big. Went to their concert and AC/DC opened for them. Also believe it or not. Gene Simmons says he has never had a drink of alcohol or drugs. His mother was a holocaust survivor and he had respect for her.
Wow, You would expect a man "looking" like that might have abused some things.😢 Drugs and alcohol were not as bad as they are now and so that's pretty incredible. Now, the question is do we believe Gene has had zero alcohol and zero drugs?
@@RockPowerUSA yes, Paul was sober too. The major strain with Ace and Peter was their alcohol and substance use. They were literal gang members in NYC,who decided that rock'n'roll was a safer way to get their girls and substances.
@@melissagerber7231 okay, You just have to take their word. I simply believe it's more likely that they tried drugs and alcohol at least one time. They claim they didn't try?
K.I.S.S live in concert are such a fun time, seen them several times. Always top notch performers and so fun, loud too lol. "I was made for loving you" was Kiss showing they could write a disco era song and be successful because they said disco music was simple. So in an effort to mock disco music a bit they created a banger lol.
First saw KISS in concert back in January '78. KISS slaughtered the 19,000+ crowd at the Spectrum in Philly that night. Ticket price back then was $8.00. I still have my ticket / ticket stub. They dominated the mid to late 70's and crushed it thru the 80's. I went on to see them 10 more times, most recently October 23, 2023 in Nashville to another sold out show. Fact: KISS has more GOLD records than any band in history. More than the Beatles, Elvis, the Stones, Led Zep, anyone. Their final concert, December 2nd, 2023 at Madison Square Garden not only sold out but, 551,000 people paid to watch the show live through Pay-Per-View. It was historic, KISSTORY in fact!
OMG I hear ya! I'm turning 56 in a couple weeks and this brought me right back to my teen years instantly! What happened to the last 40+ years??!? I grew up in a very "christian" household so I had to hide all my KISS albums and cassettes. Well apparently I wasn't very good at it and my mom found them under my bed inside the box spring. Needless to say, they were burned in the church parking lot that very next Sunday and I was grounded for 3 months. I thought my life was over lol. Well, as soon as I could work, I got a job and rebought all of it!! Then to get just a little satisfaction, I left my KISS concert ticket stubs out on my coffee table (accidently on purpose) one day when my mother was coming over to my brand new apartment to help me unpack 😝 The look on her face was worth the 3 months 🤣
I was born in '75 so I grew up watching KISS on VHS tapes my parents recorded off the TV with the VCR. I was a MTV child of the 80s as well so this and your Hot For Teacher take me back. But.......damnit you make me feel old!
First rock band I was introduced to as a kid as my cousin was part of the KISS ARMY. This was a disco hit they made. You are correct this is the band that did rock amd roll all night. Just about anything other than Beth comes pretty hard. This is Paul Stanley, who does the majority of lead vocals, but they all do sing. Have some fun with it and dig deeper with them.
I remember going with my mum and dad to drop my older brother and sister at rhe KIZZ concert in sth australia in 1980, it was unbelievable the amount of people that went. It was KIZZ MANIA for quite a number of years....damn i miss those days
I am a 58 years old woman and I LOVE the singers with open (or no) shitrs and hairy chests like Kiss, the Bee Gees.... , and also the make up. They are hot, sexy and NOT scary! For me the waxed, tattooed, muscular chests of today's men are terrible and "unmanly"!🥴
You chose their only disco song. God of Thunder, Detroit Rock City, Love Gun are some of their harder songs. All of them sing. After a 50 year run, they played their last concert Dec 02, 2023 at Madison Square Garden. Put hair on your chest = it’ll make a man out of you
KISS is my cousin’s absolute favorite group. He’s been to probably every possible concert since the 80s. I went with my cousin a few years ago to see KISS in concert and they put on an awesome show! Yes, Gene Simmons is the bass player to KISS. I actually love his voice! You should react to “I love it loud” bc Gene Simmons sings that song. That’s probably my favorite KISS song (one of my favorites). Great reaction 😁
The guy singing in this, Paul Stanley is actually deaf in one ear from a birth defect... ive been a fan since i was 8 yrs. Old and have seen them live 7 times...always a great show!!!
A lot of KISS reaction videos are of ‘I Was Made For Loving You’ which is their foray into disco. Check out ‘Rock and Roll All Nite’, ‘Detroit Rock City’. ‘Shout It out Loud’ (Tiger Stadium concert).
Gene was the bass player. Paul Stanley was the primary vocalist but the other members all had their own vocal showcases. Two of the best KISS songs in my opinion (God of Thunder and Black Diamond) were sung by Gene and Peter Criss (the drummer) respectively.
No way it is your first time. 😅 But anyway, glad you checked it out. I am not a die hard fan of KISS, but I do love what I've heard of them. And oh boy, I've hear them since my childhood
This was a roller rink staple growing up. Rock/disco mix. Not their normal sound - but they def had a rock/pop/funk crossover. Excellent marking geniuses.
For Kiss you should react to shout it out loud, I was made for loving you came out in their glam rock years and is somewhat of a different sound than most other Kiss songs. The music video for shout it out loud is from their 1996 reunion tour and shows you how amazing they are live
This was a one off for Kiss they wrote this to prove they could write a disco type song and did it. God of Thunder live will show off Gene on vocals and his alter ego as the Demon. Definitely a must see.
I was a teenager in the 80s, and glad I was! It's funny that you brought up chest hair being sexy back then. It was, and for those of us now in our 50s (where did that time go!) still love our men to have chest hair. I, personally, do not want to snuggle up and feel safe with a man with the chest of a 12-year-old.
This was nr 1 in 1977, I was 9 years old, this was my first introduction into rock. Still love this although it is more disco than rock. I’ve grown into metal along the way 🤟🤣
The makeup made it possible for them to go out in public without being known for quite a long time. The first time I saw them without it was the song Lick It Up. The song Beth is really mellow. Great song.
I saw them twice while in college, remember them once lol. Beth is another hit that doesn't go with their image! Love your reactions, don't stop! Peace from Northern Michigan!
I read this info about the song While the story is unproven, Paul Stanley, who co-wrote the song with Desmond Child and Vini Poncia, has stated that it was a conscious effort on his part to prove how easy it was to write and record a hit disco song. Well I think they proved how easy it was! this song is fantastic to me, Kiss or not!!! they just made it their style.
I discovered Kiss way back in the 90's somewhere when this video popped up on the VH1 music channel. I was so facinated by them, their outfits, the make up. Been a fan ever since.
KISS is my all time favorite band. Beth is one of my favorites along with Love Gun, Shout it out Loud, and Detroit Rock City. Just some fun facts: Paul Stanley could hardly hear out of his left ear. Gene Simmons never drank. 1st and only sip was at his wedding and I think he was in his 50s but he was a sex addic. I just saw them last year in Atlanta GA. Awesome as always. Never would of know they were around 70 😮
The original band all sang songs, Paul Stantly (Star Child) was the lead, but Gen Simmons base (the Demon) did a lot of lead vocals also. The Peter Criss drums (Cat Man) and Ace Frehley lead guitar (Spaceman) did some as well.
I wouldn't pick this as one of their best, but it still holds a place in my heart. This came out when I was 9 or 10. My stepsister had all the KISS albums up to that point. We used to listen to them all the time. Check out some of their live performances from the 70's "God of Thunder" is a good start.
Gene was on the left hand side of Paul Stanley(lead singer on this song) The interesting thing is that YEARS ago when they first started,they had their face paint on,but they also use to use fake blood on some songs,and they'd have it come out of their mouths. That was an EXTREMELY long time ago...I've searched for some videos of it,and I've yet to find any...so I'm not sure if there blocked,or were they taken down...Either way...KISS is an amazing group!
I've seen Kiss 4 times and it's always amazing amazing. The first time I saw them and I heard Paul Stanley speak for the first time I was like Who the F is that talking. Hearing him talk is so funny, I love it. I took my 2 youngest boys to see them when they were 15 and 16.
Kiss has an extremely deep catalog of music. They did their final live concert just a few months ago. Kiss was one of the bands that created the template for others to follow as far as marketing themselves and merchandise. They went so far as to put their blood into the red ink for a comic book series. Look into what bands got their big break as an opening band for KISS. Love your channel and your take on everything.
The first song I ever heard by Kiss was a ballad called "Beth"...such a great little love song. I can't remember the next Rock song that came out by them, but I remember seeing a video of them and was totally floored that it was the same band. Many of their songs I heard on the radio, so don't have the advantage of seeing most of their videos.
As a musician, you should discover 80’s Rock great - Def Leopard (Hysteria- official video) Amazing musicians. At the hight of their career, their drummer was in a car accident which lead to him losing his arm. The band waited for him to recover and for Rick to learn how to play with one arm and, design a drum kit that would work for him. It’s amazing to watch.
I was about 20 when they came on the scene. I had 3 of their albums. When I was stationed in Mississippi one of the ladies in the office was frantic about something, so I asked her what was wrong. She said her teenage son only wanted to have a Kiss album for Christmas but couldn't find any. I brought them to her the next day, and I thought she was going to cry. I always thought it was cool for them to wear makeup, I would assume they could later go out in public, and nobody would know who they were.
They were huge when I was in junior high. My first Halloween dance when I was in 6th grade I went as Paul Stanley (lead singer) Unfortunately so did about half of the other kids. There were several dressed as other Kiss members as well. 😂 So nostalgic. Not their best song but I love it ❤ In my opinion they were scary when they took the makeup off 😂 I was so happy when they started wearing the makeup again. They are rock for the most part.
Disco Rock. I had this album, as a kid ( 8 years old) on 8 track cassette tape and used to play it every night when i went to sleep. At that time they were huge. This album was a one-off but it showed that they were here to stay and since disco ( not my favorite genre to put it mildly) was all the rage they adapted ( as all good artists do) and rode the wave until music turned again and hard rock dominated in the 80's. While many people really don't like this album with it's disco(ish) style i am not one of them. And this song was my favorite on the album. Having said that, to me there is not one bad song on this album. I also love "2000 Man", "Magic Touch", "X-Ray Eyes", "Save Yout Love", and my second favorite song from this album "Sure Know Something". Listening to this song, and album, really takes me back to the happiest time in my life and is quite nostalgic. Love it!
The members of Kiss are now in their 70's. At 76, I remember my folks reactions when we watched Kiss' on ABC's In Concert, (airing March 29,1974. Holy Cow!!! Thought poor Dad was going to LHAO, Mom was horrified!! Dad looked at me... Don'tcha Ever, bring a guy home looking like that. My favorite song that night was "Fire house".
Staple of all HS parties in Greece during the early 80's. In one occasion I left a party early hearing this song and few houses away in another party they were playing the same song.
For halloween my friends & I would dress up as Kiss. Our makeup was not a good as theirs but it was a blast. Gene Simmons the tall guitarist with the long tongue has never had a drink or did drugs and is close to his mom who was a Holocaust survivor. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
All right my Black Pegasus... KISS is the epitome of "Shock Rock"‼️ I have seen this band like eight times and have never been disappointed ‼️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
The cool guys listened to Kiss but my fave song was a slow one - Beth it was a love song 🎶 💚 Love to you Mr Black P - watching you from bed again as now I have rona yuck 🤢 and got to have a bone marrow biopsy in 10 days so prayers appreciated. 🦠💚🦠💚 Hope I’m over this so I can get that done. Ty for always keeping me entertained while recovering ❤️🩹 God bless you and your sweet wife and sweet daughter ( & baby too )
Kiss can write catchy clever songs and even though they all questioned their own sanity after creating The Elder; an album about a child chosen to save Earth from "evil". it had some intriguing tracks - A World Without Heroes gives you Gene singing rather well and "I" a rousing track sung by Paul. However, the acoustic version of "I still love you" from Creatures of the Night is impressive and featured the writing skills of Vinnie Vincent (Cusano); a talented guitarist and composer who joined them again to help write most of their heaviest album REVENGE. He brought Kiss back from the dead when he co-write a lot of Creatures of the Night. and Lick it up but who seems to be as mad as he is musical.
Warning: this is NOT a typical KISS song. This was a challenge of one of the song writers to actually write a disco song. It should be noted that a typical KISS song is heavy metal, from normal metal to power ballads.
I have heard this challenge was done to basically show the public how easy it was to write a disco song, and it backfired in a way and became a hit. Though this song gets much hate from die hard KISS fans, (and even some members of the band themselves), this song was intended to be heard live. It comes "alive" in concert, if you will😉
1:38 "I'm Pretty Sure That Kiss Is The Group That Sings 'Rock'N'Roll All Night' " You're correct, Pegasus. They are the band that played Rock'N'Roll All Night
Guitar Hero is what introduced a lot of people to Dragon Force as well. Through The Fire and Flames, the song is pretty much one big fast paced guitar solo between the two guitarists in the band. I'd suggest giving them a listen as well if you haven't already. Two of my friends were heavy into Guitar Hero at the time. They'd try getting me to play but it wasn't my thing. I'm not coordinated enough for that. I loved watching more. KISS also wasn't originally something I was interested in when I was younger. But the more I've listened to them in recent years they've made it to my list of bands to listen to. Detroit Rock City is one of my faves along with this one. :)
Also, fun fact about the creation of this song; Paul went to see a concert with the co writer of this song - Desmond Child and it was there where they both agreed to write a song for each other. Desmond Child has an interview up on TH-cam, where he chronicles how their music relationship began. Essentially, Desmond and Paul created a popular trend in music, specially in the 80’s - I’d refer to it as genre mixing. They fused the R&B/ Soul influences from Paul’s love of Motown music and incorporated a rock sound, and voila - “I Was Made For Loving You” was created.
La scorsa estate vederli scendere dall'alto sul palco della mia città in uno spettacolo straordinario è stata una grande gioia. Sempre grandi nonni-rock 😉😎
Oooh YAY!!! HERE IT IS! I heard you mention doing this reaction in one of your vids yesterday and I looked all over for it. 😊 And yes this is another one of those 70s/80s songs full of s exual innuendo 😅 Another song by Kiss you should check out is Beth, one of my favorites because it's my name and I think the only song ever that mentions my name 😂
This video was filmed in my hometown of Savannah,Ga in 1979 at our civic center. They had 2 shows scheduled. The 1st night sold out. 2nd night they didn't sell as many tickets. They cancelled the 2nd show and filmed the video
The original lineup of Kiss: the lead singer and guitarist was Paul Stanley (Starchild), drummer Peter Criss (Catman), guitarist Ace Frehley (Spaceman) and bassist Gene Simmons (Demon) famous for his "tongue" and (curious note ) is married to a famous actress of thrillers - erotic films of that time: Shannon Tweed... And yes, Pamela and Tommy Lee were not the first 😁
They still do concerts, i worked on many of them they must be over 70 years old, you really should react to the final countdown by Europe, classic song, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Great reaction…a lot of their songs fall into the category of getting some, what Wheeler said in “Role Models,” was true lol…check out other KISS songs, “Detroit Rock City,” or “Love Gun” (you’ll hear the band harmonize really well in that track) but the live versions. KISS was really big about trying to stay with the times, so this was to help keep with the sweeping disco phase in the country…but hope you keep reacting, and thanks for the entertainment.
Alice Cooper was one of the first to do makeup and a term shock rock. With song titles like: Schools Out, Billion Dollars Babies, Only Women Bleed, I'm Eighteen, Elected, No More Mr. Nice Guy, and Welcome To My Nightmare. He has been around for 60 years.
Check out MORE KISS! The other video that was filmed on the same day and same studio as this was "Sure Know Something". That's a really cool song too. Their more harder and grittier stuff was earlier 70's. Watch and react to more songs from 1975-1978 specifically!
10:54 Paul Stanley has so much sex-appeal on this video, I love this song. Glad you enjoyed. Could you react to I still love you, live MTV Unplugged 1995, an outstanding performance by Paul Stanley and the band. Lots of people say that Kiss is just noise, can't sing and can't play, can't write , this song prove them wrong.
Kiss nailed the world. Gene was reported saying he had been with 10000 women. You need to do Rock and roll all night, Detroit rock city and Beth. Live is always best. Rock in Rio concert was crazy.
Seen these guys 3 times. Love them. Seen them in 2014 with Def Leppard. Great concert! Still jumping around like they were young . Another good one is Detroit Rock City. My fav. Try Heavens on Fire. Please try
Paul Stanley had said that after hearing some disco songs at studio 54, he said "i could write this crap in my sleep" and in less than an hour he wrote this and had a hit
Gene and Paul did this as a middle finger to Disco. They said anyone could make a hit disco song and they did.
No, this was them caving to the record company. Gene hates this song.
@@lisatiptoes the entire band hated this song as did the hardcore fans. Paul said he could write a hit disco song in like an hour and he did proving that disco was mindless. Interpret it how you want but thats the jist of it
Paul was dancing at Studio 54 & he challenged himself to write in this style w/ the help of Desmond Child.That's why he wrote it
Ok, there's some misinformation here. The band didn't HATE the song. Paul thought writing a disco song would be interesting just to see if he could, and asked Desmond Child to help him. The funny part is when it was presented to Gene (before Paul played it for him) Gene asked, 'What's my part"? and Paul said "doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo-ddo doo" and Gene was like WTF?? It's true that Gene doesn't care for the song, but when it went off into the stratosphere and was played in every disco in the world, bringing the band MASSIVE exposure including the money that followed, he relented. Gene's only demand was that they 'rock it up' live and tone down the disco aspect a bit, which Paul agreed to.
Omg Kiss
They all sang lead sometimes. This singer is Paul Stanley. Gene has a grittier rock voice! I loved Ace Frehley(lead guitar) Gene sang and played bass! They put on a hella good live show! Nothing wrong with being a little freaky 😜❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
The majority of Kiss songs had either Paul or Gene on lead vocals, even though there were a couple that Peter Criss and Ace Frehley would sing lead
Yeah I got to see Kiss and poison it was probably the best show I've ever seen in my life
Kiss copied New York Dolls and especially Slade

"Are They Wearing High Heels?"
Technically, Pegasus, they're platform boots with a 7" heel on them

You're absolutely correct, Pegasus
This was a 1979 disco hit by Kiss... they were on the same record label as Donna Summer and Parliament - disco acts, so they went that route briefly in 1979/ '80... Here's the brief story of Kiss:
Paul Stanley (vocals & guitar) and Gene Simmons (vocals & bass) met in the early 70's in NYC... both wrote songs and were aspiring musicians that joined a local band named Wicked Lester... Stanley & Simmons did not get along often, but both worked hard and realized that they clicked musically... In 1972, the duo decided that they wanted to form a new band and looked for new musicians... A local Peter Criss (drums) joined and auditions for a lead guitarist brought in Ace Frehley (lead guitar) by 1973 and named the band Kiss ... They loved a band name New York Dolls that wore feminine makeup, but they didn't like that image for themselves... After seeing Alice Cooper perform one night in NYC, they were inspired to do what Alice was doing w/ makeup and creating a character onstage... only all 4 members of Kiss would create their own characters. Paul Stanley became the 'Starchild'... Gene Simmons became the 'Demon'... Peter Criss the 'Catman' ... and Ace Frehley the 'Spaceman'... A TV producer named Bill Aucoin saw the band perform one night and signed on as manager and quickly signed Kiss to a record deal w/ Casablanca Records... Aucoin also taught Kiss how to create a visual spectacle onstage to add to their music - pyro and bombs were used... Gene Simmons would breathe fire and then spit fake blood onstage... Ace Frehley would have a smoking guitar that would shoot bottle rockets from the neck... Peter Criss had his drums rise above the stage... and Paul Stanley was the band's frontman and ringleader.
Even though Paul and Gene wrote the majority of songs, Peter Criss would also sing certain songs... Ace Frehley wrote songs and eventually sang on Kiss songs by 1977... However, Kiss released 3 studio albums by 1975 and none sold commercially and the band was going bankrupt, despite thousands of fans coming to see Kiss on tour... It was a double live album 'Alive!' in 1975 that finally broke Kiss commercially and a live version of 'Rock and roll all nite' ... (sung by Gene) became a hit single.
Kiss considered themselves a hard rock band, and hoped their 1976 album 'Destroyer' would be a hit... What happened was that a piano ballad 'Beth' ... sung by drummer Peter Criss became a huge pop single from that record. Kiss was the biggest live band by 1977 and the Kiss image and logo became merchandising gold selling everything from radios to comic books by 1978.
But the original band was falling apart by 1978... Kiss decided that each member release a solo album that year, all under the Kiss banner... Ace Frehley scored the biggest of the 4 solo records... In 1979, Kiss opted for a disco sound w/ the 'Dynasty' album... and "I was made for lovin' you" became their biggest international single... Unfortunately, the band's pop sound alienated their rock fans and Kiss' popularity declined significantly... A 2nd disco album 'Unmasked' in 1980 sold less.
It also marked the end of the original Kiss... drummer Peter Criss was no longer playing on Kiss records because accidents, drugs and alcohol had hampered his skills (a studio drummer was used on 'Dynasty' and 'Unmasked') and he was out of Kiss by 1980.
Ace Frehley was also struggling w/ drugs and alcohol as Kiss hired Eric Carr (drums) to replace Peter Criss in '80... but their next album 'Music from the Elder' in 1981 was an experimental flop record... Ace Frehley left the band by 1982... Kiss was a trio when they returned w/ the album 'Creatures of the night' (1982) and had finally returned to a hard rock sound, but no would listen... and it didn't help when Kiss toured w/ new lead guitarist Vinnie Vincent in addition to new drummer Eric Carr, both wearing new makeup characters onstage.
In 1983, Kiss decided that the band's makeup image had run its course... Paul Stanley opted to have Kiss appear unmasked on MTV and reintroduce Kiss to a new audience w/ a non-makeup makeover - it worked. Their 1983 album 'Lick it up' became a platinum success... Kiss had to switch lead guitarists again in 1984, when Mark St. John recorded their album 'Animalize'... but he suffered an arthritic condition and had to be replaced by Bruce Kulick (lead guitar) who was a member of Kiss for the rest of their non-makeup era... Kiss still had platinum successes and were selling out arenas once again in the 80's.
Tragically, longtime drummer Eric Carr was diagnosed w/ cancer in 1991... despite undergoing treatment, he passed away in late 1991. Kiss fans still remember Eric Carr and his thunderous drum sound that defined Kiss in the non-makeup years.
Eric Singer (drums) joined Kiss in 1992 for their album 'Revenge'... but the band was in decline again in the 90's... In 1995, Kiss performed for 'MTV Unplugged' and ended their set w/ original members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley performing w/ them.
That gig gave the inspiration to reunite the original Kiss in 1996 for a worldwide tour in full makeup... The "Alive '96/ '97" Reunion tour was their biggest to date... Kiss hoped to capture the original band for a new album 'Psycho circus' in 1998, but Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were reportedly already at odds w/ Paul and Gene's goals for Kiss... the album was completed w/ session musicians.
The original Kiss embarked on a 'Farewell tour' in 2000/ '01... and Peter Criss was excluded once again in 2001 after demanding more money from the band... Eric Singer (drums) returned to finish the '01 tour wearing Peter Criss' makeup... Ace Frehley was out again by '02.
Paul and Gene decided that Kiss would continue past 2002... their longtime tech Tommy Thayer (lead guitar) assumed Ace Frehley's character and even after Peter Criss returned for a 2003 tour, it was Eric Singer (drums) who took over wearing Criss' character permanently in 2004. This would be the version of Kiss in makeup that would record and tour for 2 decades... Kiss recently ended their touring career in 2023 w/ final shows in Madison Square Garden in NYC.
Kiss klassicks that I recommend - "Shout it out loud" ... 'Parasite' (live version) ... 'Detroit rock city' ... 'Deuce' ... 'I love it loud' ... 'Love gun' (live version) ... 'Lick it up' ... 'Tears are falling' ... 'Unholy'... 'Creatures of the night'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
fantastic read. well done.
I've heard that another singer (I'll just say a twin) suggested that they put their makeup back on again. I watched an interview and he was discussing it
Good read
@@friendlyNemesisAbsolutely. Thank you, very much.
They were more than make-up, glitter and lipstick, they had A LOT of good, quality songs. Costumers were the finishing touch. People ate it up!
I was 15 when Kiss was big. Went to their concert and AC/DC opened for them. Also believe it or not. Gene Simmons says he has never had a drink of alcohol or drugs. His mother was a holocaust survivor and he had respect for her.
Wow, You would expect a man "looking" like that might have abused some things.😢
Drugs and alcohol were not as bad as they are now and so that's pretty incredible. Now, the question is do we believe Gene has had zero alcohol and zero drugs?
@@RockPowerUSA yes, Paul was sober too. The major strain with Ace and Peter was their alcohol and substance use. They were literal gang members in NYC,who decided that rock'n'roll was a safer way to get their girls and substances.
@@melissagerber7231 okay, You just have to take their word. I simply believe it's more likely that they tried drugs and alcohol at least one time. They claim they didn't try?
I saw them live this year, and they were brilliant for two guys in there 70's and two in there 60's
@@melissagerber7231there’s literally pics of gene and Paul smoking and drinking
BP....Kiss' biggest hit was "BETH" which was sung by Peter Chris.....the drummer.
A story about being on tour and missing your lady
My absolute favorite KISS song!
@@mcm0324My absolute least favorite Kiss song.
K.I.S.S live in concert are such a fun time, seen them several times. Always top notch performers and so fun, loud too lol. "I was made for loving you" was Kiss showing they could write a disco era song and be successful because they said disco music was simple. So in an effort to mock disco music a bit they created a banger lol.
First saw KISS in concert back in January '78. KISS slaughtered the 19,000+ crowd at the Spectrum in Philly that night. Ticket price back then was $8.00. I still have my ticket / ticket stub. They dominated the mid to late 70's and crushed it thru the 80's. I went on to see them 10 more times, most recently October 23, 2023 in Nashville to another sold out show. Fact: KISS has more GOLD records than any band in history. More than the Beatles, Elvis, the Stones, Led Zep, anyone. Their final concert, December 2nd, 2023 at Madison Square Garden not only sold out but, 551,000 people paid to watch the show live through Pay-Per-View. It was historic, KISSTORY in fact!
That's funny my brother went to see Queen in 77 Philly they paid $5 look at the prices now
Focking grew up with Kiss!!! Their music never gets old to me...of course til i look in the mirror, i think im 29, not 58😅
I think I'm 17 again, I'm almost 65, if I knew I was going to live this long I'd would have taken better care of myself LOL
OMG I hear ya! I'm turning 56 in a couple weeks and this brought me right back to my teen years instantly! What happened to the last 40+ years??!? I grew up in a very "christian" household so I had to hide all my KISS albums and cassettes. Well apparently I wasn't very good at it and my mom found them under my bed inside the box spring. Needless to say, they were burned in the church parking lot that very next Sunday and I was grounded for 3 months. I thought my life was over lol. Well, as soon as I could work, I got a job and rebought all of it!! Then to get just a little satisfaction, I left my KISS concert ticket stubs out on my coffee table (accidently on purpose) one day when my mother was coming over to my brand new apartment to help me unpack 😝 The look on her face was worth the 3 months 🤣
Gosh I remember seeing Kiss in the 90's, it was a brilliant show, can't beat live rock concerts back in the day ✌️
Not to date myself, but the Beatles in '64 was "back in the day" peace.
I was born in '75 so I grew up watching KISS on VHS tapes my parents recorded off the TV with the VCR. I was a MTV child of the 80s as well so this and your Hot For Teacher take me back. But.......damnit you make me feel old!
I started driving in '75. Hmmmm what is old?
First rock band I was introduced to as a kid as my cousin was part of the KISS ARMY. This was a disco hit they made. You are correct this is the band that did rock amd roll all night. Just about anything other than Beth comes pretty hard. This is Paul Stanley, who does the majority of lead vocals, but they all do sing. Have some fun with it and dig deeper with them.
KISS helped create on stage performance today. They are epic live.
I remember going with my mum and dad to drop my older brother and sister at rhe KIZZ concert in sth australia in 1980, it was unbelievable the amount of people that went. It was KIZZ MANIA for quite a number of years....damn i miss those days
I am a 58 years old woman and I LOVE the singers with open (or no) shitrs and hairy chests like Kiss, the Bee Gees.... , and also the make up. They are hot, sexy and NOT scary! For me the waxed, tattooed, muscular chests of today's men are terrible and "unmanly"!🥴
Kiss had a comic book and each member was a character in the comic. That’s where their costume came from.
You chose their only disco song. God of Thunder, Detroit Rock City, Love Gun are some of their harder songs. All of them sing. After a 50 year run, they played their last concert Dec 02, 2023 at Madison Square Garden.
Put hair on your chest = it’ll make a man out of you
I got to see them at Louder Than Life in September of 22. WILD
All the original band members did
@@TheSmittenman Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer did also
KISS is my cousin’s absolute favorite group. He’s been to probably every possible concert since the 80s. I went with my cousin a few years ago to see KISS in concert and they put on an awesome show!
Yes, Gene Simmons is the bass player to KISS. I actually love his voice! You should react to “I love it loud” bc Gene Simmons sings that song. That’s probably my favorite KISS song (one of my favorites).
Great reaction 😁
The guy singing in this, Paul Stanley is actually deaf in one ear from a birth defect... ive been a fan since i was 8 yrs. Old and have seen them live 7 times...always a great show!!!
He literally has one ear. It is a birth defect but that is why he's deaf in one ear. Because he only has one.
A lot of KISS reaction videos are of ‘I Was Made For Loving You’ which is their foray into disco. Check out ‘Rock and Roll All Nite’, ‘Detroit Rock City’. ‘Shout It out Loud’ (Tiger Stadium concert).
Gene was the bass player. Paul Stanley was the primary vocalist but the other members all had their own vocal showcases. Two of the best KISS songs in my opinion (God of Thunder and Black Diamond) were sung by Gene and Peter Criss (the drummer) respectively.
Yes God of thunder you need a live video
This was their foray into disco. They killed it. Probably my favorite KISS song honestly
No way it is your first time. 😅 But anyway, glad you checked it out. I am not a die hard fan of KISS, but I do love what I've heard of them. And oh boy, I've hear them since my childhood
This was a roller rink staple growing up.
Rock/disco mix.
Not their normal sound - but they def had a rock/pop/funk crossover.
Excellent marking geniuses.
For Kiss you should react to shout it out loud, I was made for loving you came out in their glam rock years and is somewhat of a different sound than most other Kiss songs. The music video for shout it out loud is from their 1996 reunion tour and shows you how amazing they are live
LOL I remember first hearing this song on my K-Tel record, and I LOVED it! ❤ Yep, 70's.
The lead singer made a bet he could write a hit disco song in an hour and did it!
This was a one off for Kiss they wrote this to prove they could write a disco type song and did it. God of Thunder live will show off Gene on vocals and his alter ego as the Demon. Definitely a must see.
I was a teenager in the 80s, and glad I was! It's funny that you brought up chest hair being sexy back then. It was, and for those of us now in our 50s (where did that time go!) still love our men to have chest hair. I, personally, do not want to snuggle up and feel safe with a man with the chest of a 12-year-old.
Some men naturally don't have chest hair. I prefer the ones that do, and I hate when men remove their body hair
Kiss’s DISCO song! 😂 Most hardcore Kiss fans HATE this song; now I’m not a Kiss fan, and I LOVE this song!!!! Four on the floor; Disco forever 🪩🎶🔥😂
This was nr 1 in 1977, I was 9 years old, this was my first introduction into rock. Still love this although it is more disco than rock. I’ve grown into metal along the way 🤟🤣
This was KISS’ one attempt at making a mainstream song. Gene still hates it
This album came out in 1979.
Detroit Rock City, Strutter, Calling Dr Love. Great Kiss songs🔥🔥🔥
Saw them in 1977 on the Destoryer Tour. Bob Seger was the warm up. Awesome show!
The makeup made it possible for them to go out in public without being known for quite a long time.
The first time I saw them without it was the song
Lick It Up.
The song Beth is really mellow. Great song.
I saw them twice while in college, remember them once lol. Beth is another hit that doesn't go with their image! Love your reactions, don't stop! Peace from Northern Michigan!
I read this info about the song While the story is unproven, Paul Stanley, who co-wrote the song with Desmond Child and Vini Poncia, has stated that it was a conscious effort on his part to prove how easy it was to write and record a hit disco song. Well I think they proved how easy it was! this song is fantastic to me, Kiss or not!!! they just made it their style.
I discovered Kiss way back in the 90's somewhere when this video popped up on the VH1 music channel. I was so facinated by them, their outfits, the make up. Been a fan ever since.
KISS is my all time favorite band. Beth is one of my favorites along with Love Gun, Shout it out Loud, and Detroit Rock City. Just some fun facts: Paul Stanley could hardly hear out of his left ear. Gene Simmons never drank. 1st and only sip was at his wedding and I think he was in his 50s but he was a sex addic. I just saw them last year in Atlanta GA. Awesome as always. Never would of know they were around 70 😮
The original band all sang songs, Paul Stantly (Star Child) was the lead, but Gen Simmons base (the Demon) did a lot of lead vocals also. The Peter Criss drums (Cat Man) and Ace Frehley lead guitar (Spaceman) did some as well.
I wouldn't pick this as one of their best, but it still holds a place in my heart. This came out when I was 9 or 10. My stepsister had all the KISS albums up to that point. We used to listen to them all the time.
Check out some of their live performances from the 70's "God of Thunder" is a good start.
Gene was on the left hand side of Paul Stanley(lead singer on this song) The interesting thing is that YEARS ago when they first started,they had their face paint on,but they also use to use fake blood on some songs,and they'd have it come out of their mouths. That was an EXTREMELY long time ago...I've searched for some videos of it,and I've yet to find any...so I'm not sure if there blocked,or were they taken down...Either way...KISS is an amazing group!
I've seen Kiss 4 times and it's always amazing amazing. The first time I saw them and I heard Paul Stanley speak for the first time I was like Who the F is that talking. Hearing him talk is so funny, I love it. I took my 2 youngest boys to see them when they were 15 and 16.
Those shoes are called platform shoes! Great reaction!
Kiss has an extremely deep catalog of music. They did their final live concert just a few months ago. Kiss was one of the bands that created the template for others to follow as far as marketing themselves and merchandise. They went so far as to put their blood into the red ink for a comic book series. Look into what bands got their big break as an opening band for KISS.
Love your channel and your take on everything.
Their live are amazing.
The first song I ever heard by Kiss was a ballad called "Beth"...such a great little love song. I can't remember the next Rock song that came out by them, but I remember seeing a video of them and was totally floored that it was the same band. Many of their songs I heard on the radio, so don't have the advantage of seeing most of their videos.
I think Beth is their best song
As a musician, you should discover 80’s Rock great - Def Leopard (Hysteria- official video)
Amazing musicians. At the hight of their career, their drummer was in a car accident which lead to him losing his arm. The band waited for him to recover and for Rick to learn how to play with one arm and, design a drum kit that would work for him.
It’s amazing to watch.
Saw them in like 1978 when I was 8 yrs old. Still have the ticket stubs
Paul Stanley is the singer in this video. He also played the Phantom on stage for a while
woooowwww... yessss.... you finally know something about something my friend 👋👏👏👏👌👍
I was about 20 when they came on the scene. I had 3 of their albums. When I was stationed in Mississippi one of the ladies in the office was frantic about something, so I asked her what was wrong. She said her teenage son only wanted to have a Kiss album for Christmas but couldn't find any. I brought them to her the next day, and I thought she was going to cry.
I always thought it was cool for them to wear makeup, I would assume they could later go out in public, and nobody would know who they were.
This was their challenge to write a disco song and it became a hit!
The best KISS song is "I like it Loud". And Beth, by the Drummer of KISS is also amazing, but in a different way...a ballad.
They were huge when I was in junior high. My first Halloween dance when I was in 6th grade I went as Paul Stanley (lead singer)
Unfortunately so did about half of the other kids. There were several dressed as other Kiss members as well. 😂 So nostalgic.
Not their best song but I love it ❤
In my opinion they were scary when they took the makeup off 😂 I was so happy when they started wearing the makeup again. They are rock for the most part.
Grew up listening to them in 1977.
Try Black Diamond from Kiss Alive or Strutter for the same album.
Want to hear another shocker react to Beth by KISS. Amazing song and a total shocker coming from them! One of their greatest IMO.
Saw them in Toronto in the 70's and the fans literally destroyed the stadium.
Disco Rock. I had this album, as a kid ( 8 years old) on 8 track cassette tape and used to play it every night when i went to sleep. At that time they were huge. This album was a one-off but it showed that they were here to stay and since disco ( not my favorite genre to put it mildly) was all the rage they adapted ( as all good artists do) and rode the wave until music turned again and hard rock dominated in the 80's. While many people really don't like this album with it's disco(ish) style i am not one of them. And this song was my favorite on the album. Having said that, to me there is not one bad song on this album. I also love "2000 Man", "Magic Touch", "X-Ray Eyes", "Save Yout Love", and my second favorite song from this album "Sure Know Something". Listening to this song, and album, really takes me back to the happiest time in my life and is quite nostalgic. Love it!
The members of Kiss are now in their 70's. At 76, I remember my folks reactions when we watched Kiss' on ABC's In Concert, (airing March 29,1974. Holy Cow!!! Thought poor Dad was going to LHAO, Mom was horrified!! Dad looked at me... Don'tcha Ever, bring a guy home looking like that. My favorite song that night was "Fire house".
These guys have the worlds biggest army. Kizz Army since 1976. World wide rocking friendship.
Staple of all HS parties in Greece during the early 80's. In one occasion I left a party early hearing this song and few houses away in another party they were playing the same song.
For halloween my friends & I would dress up as Kiss. Our makeup was not a good as theirs but it was a blast. Gene Simmons the tall guitarist with the long tongue has never had a drink or did drugs and is close to his mom who was a Holocaust survivor. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
I've Seen them live in Germany last jear. Iconik
All right my Black Pegasus... KISS is the epitome of "Shock Rock"‼️ I have seen this band like eight times and have never been disappointed ‼️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
The cool guys listened to Kiss but my fave song was a slow one - Beth it was a love song 🎶 💚 Love to you Mr Black P - watching you from bed again as now I have rona yuck 🤢 and got to have a bone marrow biopsy in 10 days so prayers appreciated. 🦠💚🦠💚 Hope I’m over this so I can get that done. Ty for always keeping me entertained while recovering ❤️🩹 God bless you and your sweet wife and sweet daughter ( & baby too )
Gotta do Beth by Kiss. Hit you in your heart
All the members of the "original" band have had their own songs they sing, but Paul Stanley sings most of the songs, they all did solo albums also.
Saw them twice.......Super great
Kiss can write catchy clever songs and even though they all questioned their own sanity after creating The Elder; an album about a child chosen to save Earth from "evil". it had some intriguing tracks - A World Without Heroes gives you Gene singing rather well and "I" a rousing track sung by Paul. However, the acoustic version of "I still love you" from Creatures of the Night is impressive and featured the writing skills of Vinnie Vincent (Cusano); a talented guitarist and composer who joined them again to help write most of their heaviest album REVENGE. He brought Kiss back from the dead when he co-write a lot of Creatures of the Night. and Lick it up but who seems to be as mad as he is musical.
The Elders my favourite kiss album!
My hubs and I saw them in concert a couple of years ago on Louisville, Ky. They were awesome!
In one of their documentaries, Paul has said he may be the lead singer of KISS, but Gene is the face of KISS.
Warning: this is NOT a typical KISS song. This was a challenge of one of the song writers to actually write a disco song.
It should be noted that a typical KISS song is heavy metal, from normal metal to power ballads.
I have heard this challenge was done to basically show the public how easy it was to write a disco song, and it backfired in a way and became a hit. Though this song gets much hate from die hard KISS fans, (and even some members of the band themselves), this song was intended to be heard live. It comes "alive" in concert, if you will😉
I loooove this song!!! My favorite from Kiss
You should do more kiss reactions!
I saw them live in concert in Brisbane Australia last year and they still sound great
1:38
"I'm Pretty Sure That Kiss Is The Group That Sings 'Rock'N'Roll All Night' "
You're correct, Pegasus. They are the band that played Rock'N'Roll All Night
Guitar Hero is what introduced a lot of people to Dragon Force as well. Through The Fire and Flames, the song is pretty much one big fast paced guitar solo between the two guitarists in the band. I'd suggest giving them a listen as well if you haven't already. Two of my friends were heavy into Guitar Hero at the time. They'd try getting me to play but it wasn't my thing. I'm not coordinated enough for that. I loved watching more. KISS also wasn't originally something I was interested in when I was younger. But the more I've listened to them in recent years they've made it to my list of bands to listen to. Detroit Rock City is one of my faves along with this one. :)
Kiss - heaven's on fire
The whole band at times were lead singers of songs, but mainly Gene & Paul (lead on this song) Peter Criss (cat) drummer sings their ballad "Beth"
Also, fun fact about the creation of this song; Paul went to see a concert with the co writer of this song - Desmond Child and it was there where they both agreed to write a song for each other. Desmond Child has an interview up on TH-cam, where he chronicles how their music relationship began.
Essentially, Desmond and Paul created a popular trend in music, specially in the 80’s - I’d refer to it as genre mixing. They fused the R&B/ Soul influences from Paul’s love of Motown music and incorporated a rock sound, and voila - “I Was Made For Loving You” was created.
La scorsa estate vederli scendere dall'alto sul palco della mia città in uno spettacolo straordinario è stata una grande gioia.
Sempre grandi nonni-rock 😉😎
Oooh YAY!!! HERE IT IS! I heard you mention doing this reaction in one of your vids yesterday and I looked all over for it. 😊 And yes this is another one of those 70s/80s songs full of s exual innuendo 😅 Another song by Kiss you should check out is Beth, one of my favorites because it's my name and I think the only song ever that mentions my name 😂
This video was filmed in my hometown of Savannah,Ga in 1979 at our civic center. They had 2 shows scheduled. The 1st night sold out. 2nd night they didn't sell as many tickets. They cancelled the 2nd show and filmed the video
The original lineup of Kiss: the lead singer and guitarist was Paul Stanley (Starchild), drummer Peter Criss (Catman), guitarist Ace Frehley (Spaceman) and bassist Gene Simmons (Demon) famous for his "tongue" and (curious note ) is married to a famous actress of thrillers - erotic films of that time: Shannon Tweed... And yes, Pamela and Tommy Lee were not the first 😁
Oh and I forgot they also had a video game: Psycho Circus: "The Nightmare Child"🤟
They still do concerts, i worked on many of them they must be over 70 years old, you really should react to the final countdown by Europe, classic song, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Great reaction…a lot of their songs fall into the category of getting some, what Wheeler said in “Role Models,” was true lol…check out other KISS songs, “Detroit Rock City,” or “Love Gun” (you’ll hear the band harmonize really well in that track) but the live versions. KISS was really big about trying to stay with the times, so this was to help keep with the sweeping disco phase in the country…but hope you keep reacting, and thanks for the entertainment.
Alice Cooper was one of the first to do makeup and a term shock rock. With song titles like: Schools Out, Billion Dollars Babies, Only Women Bleed, I'm Eighteen, Elected, No More Mr. Nice Guy, and Welcome To My Nightmare. He has been around for 60 years.
That was some funny shit.i was a teen in the early 70's and didn't get to see them live until 96, wild show.
Check out MORE KISS! The other video that was filmed on the same day and same studio as this was "Sure Know Something". That's a really cool song too. Their more harder and grittier stuff was earlier 70's. Watch and react to more songs from 1975-1978 specifically!
10:54 Paul Stanley has so much sex-appeal on this video, I love this song. Glad you enjoyed.
Could you react to I still love you, live MTV Unplugged 1995, an outstanding performance by Paul Stanley and the band. Lots of people say that Kiss is just noise, can't sing and can't play, can't write , this song prove them wrong.
I love your eagerness and honesty!
Im sixty now and Kiss was a big back when I was a teenager. Still love them to this day along with Rammstein
Kiss nailed the world. Gene was reported saying he had been with 10000 women. You need to do Rock and roll all night, Detroit rock city and Beth. Live is always best. Rock in Rio concert was crazy.
It was over 4000 women

Seen these guys 3 times. Love them. Seen them in 2014 with Def Leppard. Great concert! Still jumping around like they were young . Another good one is Detroit Rock City. My fav. Try Heavens on Fire. Please try
This is ‘70s KISS, you should check out ‘90s KISS without makeup and Gene on vocals like Unholy or Domino
Wrong! This was 1979 disco crap
Without make up? They did that once and learned her lesson!
@@jabreck1934once? They didn’t use makeup from 1984-1996.
They all had a separate album I loved Ace Freely's (the drummer) back in the new York groove definitely one to check out!
I heard that they were bet that they couldn't compete in the Disco era. They nailed it.
Paul Stanley had said that after hearing some disco songs at studio 54, he said "i could write this crap in my sleep" and in less than an hour he wrote this and had a hit
Kiss was before my time but I enjoy them. “Calling Dr Love” and “Heavens on Fire”
