To think, all the critics and so called music people all hated KISS. Tributes like this show what other artist think. This was an excellent cover, I wasn't sure what to expect, but they did a fantastic job. BLACK DIAMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit!!!! I'm a huge KISS fan, and I'm quite fond of the Pumpkins.... this SERIOUSLY kicks ass!!! I didn't know Billy could pull it off, because his voice is so "strange".... but .... hell yea!!!!
Best black diamond cover i ever heard! I admit i never been a fan of smashing pumpkins, just from the wrong generation i guess...but i will take a second listen to all their stuff now! Holy crap this was great! And i live the drummer singing it! Priper respect paid to peter criss! Love it! !
They opened for Kiss when the band reunited and put their makeup back on. There’s also a live version of Tarantula where they go into the Love Gun rifts at the end.
OMG, I'm seeing it for the first time and it's simply perfect! Kiss is my favourite band and they did one of the best covers I've seen of this song live!
I, The KISS ARMY KNIGHT 🛡️ Absolutely love this. Oh my God. 😇 This is THE PINNACLE OF ROCK&ROLL👹⭐😺⚡ SMASHING PUMPKINS SHINE LIKE BLACK DIAMONDS 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 MY GOD ... I'm ALIVE🔥🛡️
More proof how much influence the early version of Kiss had on many of the popular acts in the late 80's & 90's
Absolutely, people bash kiss so much man
What KISS has done as a rock band won't be replicated.
Damn straight. There will never be another band in the world like KISS
You both are right. The best, will never be matched or duplicated.
False. Even Gene Simmons would disagree with that statement.
Lol
What, making lip sinking okay?!
My favorite smashing pumpkins song 👍.
Not their song.
@@jameshughes6049 that’s because it’s a JOKE! And if you didn’t find it funny then just don’t laugh. 😵💫
@@jameshughes6049wow...

Not all critics in the 70’s hated Kiss...stop exaggerating
@@Oh_I_Willkiss got crapped on a lot. Almost no radio play. Etc etc
Can't believe the video cut out just as they were getting into the finale!

Awesome that’s every drummer’s dream to do black diamond
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

he didn't sing.
@@p_e_t_e makes more sense now😂
He sang the beginning part that Paul Stanley sings. But yeah besides that it’s the drummer
The bass player is way easier to look at too!

My favourite Kiss song! Great cover! Thank you! 🤟
Great vocals from the drummer.
I am amazed,, they actually sound awsome,, nice job guys,, u did KISS proud,, I am a life long fan,, 37 years an counting,,,
I'm curious,, what's the deal with your commas,, are you having a stroke,, or something,, who types like that,,,
Black Diamond one of rocks all time greatest songs..
How fun it would be to play those Double Platinum songs they grew up listening to on the bus!!
Sure hope it wasn’t a compilation album
man those drums are resonating with my soul
Cute
That's really good ! There is a lot happening in a song like Black Diamond. Well done 💫💫💫
you can tell billy had a lot of fun playing this one.
WOW! Big Kiss fan...awesome cover!!!
If you're going to cover this song it had better be perfect...and this was. Great job, pumpkins!
For a change!
My resoect for Billy C just went up a huge amount.
What an awesome song and you guys nailed it. Really,. Just awesome.
Wow, very professionnal cover. All class.
Just loved it, Thanx for sharing 🙏
Love from Sweden 💖
Best cover of Black Diamond. I actually prefer this heavier version!
It’s not heavier at all, this is exactly how kiss plays it
@@beronicaandrews3300 uh, ok
A mighty high mountain to climb and they did it with class. Can't just jump into those heels. Spaceman and Starchild alive
Best black diamond cover i ever heard! I admit i never been a fan of smashing pumpkins, just from the wrong generation i guess...but i will take a second listen to all their stuff now! Holy crap this was great! And i live the drummer singing it! Priper respect paid to peter criss! Love it! !
The bands that don't pay tributes to KISS are just jealous of them.They influenced most hard rock, and heavy metal bands from the 70s.
drummer did good man no one can compare to peter but this kicked ass
I think Carr & Singer compared greatly
Jimmy Chamberlain ov The Pumpkins iz one ov the best technical drummers ta ever grace a stage, Listen closely ta 'Gish'. You'll get it.
he was average at best and served the band very well.
@@brianmcguinness-kb5vowell, he is great, but not close to true is your comment,. just ignorance and worship.
Totally badass ..been A fan of both bands for yrs.great cover.m
Flawless... I'm speechless and full of admiration...
They performed one of KISS best song pretty damn good. Congratulations
They did a good job on that song
What an excellent cover! So glad they played it true to the original!
Surprising great cover
They did an incredible job with that.
They opened for Kiss when the band reunited and put their makeup back on. There’s also a live version of Tarantula where they go into the Love Gun rifts at the end.
I'm not a huge Pumpkins fan but that was awesome!! Nicely done guys.

Love Ace’s version, melodic with an extra Rock n Roll twist. Ripping solo Frehley as well.
They even did Paul's intro I'm impressed
That Rocked!
The best cover the kiss
This is fucking awesome. Great KISS tune for sure.
Да!!! Только барабанщик может легально исполнять эту легендарную песню!
They teased love gun in Melbourne back in 2010.
