Love you and your vibe bro. Here you go and let's keep this music alive!: MILES DAVIS "Kind Of Blue" and anything from his 50 plus years of jazz. Maybe not exactly review stuff, but his sound will change your ears, no BS.
I remember that day because I felt like I was the only one that cared. Everybody was going on about Freddie (and Freddie deserves every accolade) and Eric was barely a blip on the world's radar.
Sadly, he passed and his loss was overshadowed by the passing the same day of one Freddie Mercury. When they announced Freddie's passing on DC/101 in D.C. they hardly mentioned Eric. It was a devastating day in music. R. I. P. Eric Carr R. I. P. Freddie Mercury
@@WojtekB11 He died shortly after this video. He wanted to to be in the video so he got out of the hospital and went to the set, he lost all his hair so he had to wear a wig. RIP
My husband and I had this played at our wedding. This was the last video that the drummer, Eric Carr, got to film before he passed away. He died of cancer. Such a beautiful beautiful song! Thank you for reacting to this song. My favorite KISS song! :-)
Actually, the current KISS drummer, Eric Singer, did the drums on the audio recording in the studio. He stepped aside and let Eric Carr come and do the video. Eric was too weak to do the recording, and was probably too weak and sick to do the video, but he pulled his strength from his heart and soul and was there for the video. He was probably one of the nicest members and most humble members of KISS. (They were all nice when I met them, but Eric made you feel like you were the only fan there that mattered. Such a great guy!)
Actually "God Gave Rock and Roll to You II" was Eric Carr's last video, This was the SECOND to his last video. He passed away shortly after making the GGRRtY video. Died WAY too young had MORE talent to give to the world!
Bruce Kulick is such an underrated guitarist. His solo on this song is inspiring. He is often overlooked because his mellow and laid back personality. I respect Bruce big time. And let us never forget The Fox, Eric Carr. His drumming with KISS from 1980-1991 was strong and precise. Some say he was better than Peter Criss. I say in terms of technical prowess Eric had it hands down. But Peter brought a raw street credibility to his drumming. KISS was different with Peter because he was more big band/swing oriented in his drumming. His style helped make KISS a phenomenon in the 70’s. Eric was more of a heavy drummer with influences of John Bonham and of harder rock acts. His drumming moved KISS towards a heavier sound. Both were great for the music they played in KISS.
Jamel, please don’t stop here- Their song “I still love you.” Another fantastic ballad! Paul Stanley singing his heart out! Onstage, no makeup- “Love gun” is another great one! So many! ❤️✌️
@Kinberlini Bambini Excellent suggestions, my friend! You should revisit his list on Foreigner and search for "Hot Blooded" because I just watched that one a few days ago...take it easy! Peace.
@@blgeiger71 thank you so much- my mind is slipping at my age-plus I watch so many reactions- I have done this before, gone back and looked and saw I had already watched it- 😳🤯 lol
Eric we miss you.I know you are in Heaven watching over your fans that love you.Peter and Eric the True Kiss Drummer’s.Rest In Peace Eric.Kiss Forever.
@Travis Woodfin Same here dude! My older stepbrother and I first had "Alive II" on the old 8-track in '77. I was only 6 at that time but I was HOOKED right away, and my very first KISS concert happened to be the "Lick It Up" tour in '83 (the first one without the makeup). I went to see the "End of the Road" tour twice in 2019 which was incredible! Long live KISS...
Thumbs up Jamel for giving a shout out to Eric Carr! He was an amazing talent and so friendly to the fans. Unfortunately passed away after a brief battle with cancer on the same date as Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury November 24,1991. Gone way to early and can’t believe it’s 30 years ago. RIP to both greats.
I was sitting in homeroom in high school watching MTV news on tv, when I first heard of Eric Carr's death. I remember laying my head down on my desk devastated. The other kids in the room wasn't paying much attention because they didn't know who he was.
Eric Carr was in extreme pain doing the video but insisted on doing take after take until they got it right and he refused to take a break and just fought the pain to get it right and it was the last video he was in because soon after his cancer won
Peter Criss was the band's original drummer. It is him you hear on "Rock and Roll All Night." For "I Was Made for Loving You," they used a drum machine.
@@MichaelKerr71 He played on some of Dynasty and all of Unmasked, but he was not an official member, he never wore make-up or toured. Gene and Paul even said in interviews that he was never a member, just a session drummer that filled in. They picked him at the request of Ace because Anton played on Ace's '78 solo album. I personally like Anton Fig's drumming, but Eric was born for the role.
@@MichaelKerr71 anton was never in KISS, he was always just a studio drummer, when Pwter couldnt play. MANY studio players covered for all of the originals. Hell, Carr did so many of Genes bass lines, when gene was too busy being a bad actor in the mid 80s
KISS is a band with a few distinct periods...all of them have their high points for sure. Their history and line-up changes are the stuff of both legend and contention, but overall, they've always been a no nonsense, love us or don't kind of band. So much good stuff to tackle!
I saw Kiss back in 89 I think it was. It was their "Crazy Nights" tour. And the drummer here, Eric Carr, had the best drum solo I've ever seen live. I also got to meet him and the singer Paul Stanley a day before their concert. Eric was in a Kaybee toy store, was shy but really nice. Paul was by himself at the other end of the mall and me and my friends got to have a nice long talk with him. Good times. I miss when Kiss used to be great like this.
Eric Carr was an excellent drummer and it really hit KISS hard when he was diagnosed with cancer. Eric was very sick when this video was made but would not let it be shot without him. He is terribly missed.
Different drummer, Peter Criss is the original. This is Eric Carr, and he passed away from cancer the same day as Freddie Mercury, only 41 years old. The third and current drummer is Eric Singer, but he wears Peter's makeup since 2001
Well, arguably they are all better players (not arguably, who are we kidding?), but his signature style and presence couldn't be replaced. I prefer KISS with Ace over anyone else.
You're one of only a few I watch. i watch both your channels and enjoy all the content. You put time and effort into breaking it down. Thank you for bringing this music back. KISS was one of my bands growing up. I enjoy classic rock, R&B as well as some country. Have you seen the Postmodern Jukebox European Tour Version "All About That Bass" Very jazzy/bluezy very retro feel spin on it. Thank you my brother..
Jamel. Thanks for the great music and being the person that this world needs. I went to my first kiss concert in billings, Montana in 1977. They were amazing. We never heard of the opening band before. They were AC/DC. What a amazing time! Thanks again Jamel!
That's right! Don't touch that button to pause just yet! Ha! Love this KISS series you've uploaded! Thanks for the memories Jamel, you are the MAN! Peace! ✌☮ Eric Carr from KISS passed away in 1991!
Paul Stanley was part of a tour group of the broadway musical Phantom Of The Opera. He played the leading roll of the Phantom. The drummer of this video was the Late Eric Carr. He was the second drummer of the band. He joined after Perter Criss left.
Check out "I Still Love You" from the Mtv "Unplugged" show. One of their best live performances for audio, and the guys themselves were on point as well. Awesome song that breaks my heart and makes me like it.
This was the last video that Eric Carr made with the band before he passed on. He had just had open heart surgery and they found he had cancer on his heart and he was in severe pain making this video but he pushed through for the fans. He was a great drummer and a greater human being. His death was over shadowed by he passing of Freddie Mercury the same day. May they both R.I.P.
God Gave Rock n Roll To You II was the last video Eric Carr filmed. He was really sick at that point. He wore a wig because all of his hair was gone due to cancer treatments. Eric Singer recorded the drum track in the studio but Eric Carr insisted he come out of the hospital to film the video. RIP Eric Carr
Thanks for adding Mark St. John to the list here, as I believe his guitar work on the 1984 "Animalize" album was and still is spectacular! It was such a shame when he developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome (I think that's right?) that rendered him physically unable to play the guitar or tour for very long. RIP both Mark and Eric...
@@nicksm7980 Bob Kulick was the other guitar player KISS had narrowed it down to between him and Ace. When Ace was having his issues with substance abuse it was Bob they had in the studio creating and playing quite a few of those solos. Then he'd have to teach them to Ace. He also recommended his lil' bro Bruce to the band.
Eric Carr was one of the greatest drummers in the world. He died at a young age of heart cancer in 91 at age 41. But love the band KISS seen them like 5 times in concert and they put on an amazing show and still doing it today. I have been following them way back I. The 70’s .
I'm so happy Jamel now that you're reacting to my favorite band, i discovered them when i was 7 years old and i'm 48 now, KISS music helped me tremendously through all my life!! The 4 original members sing in KISS also. Some other songs you could do are : Detroit Rock City (studio version or the live australian one in 1980), Sure Know Something that is from the Dynasty album, the album that has I Was Made on it too, Black Diamond, Hard Luck Woman, Beth, so you can hear Peter Criss the original drummer sing, New York Groove, Shock Me or Talk To Me, so you can hear Ace Frehley sing, Heaven's On Fire, Tears Are Falling, Reason To Live a great power ballad, God Of Thunder, Love Gun, Thrills In The Night, A World Without Heroes, Shandi, Cold Gin, Lick It Up, All Hell's Breaking Loose, Crazy Nights, I Still Love You the MTV Unplugged version, Unholy, I Just Wanna, Domino, Psycho Circus, Creatures Of The Night, Strutter, Deuce. So many you can do they have a HUGE catalog!!! Keep up the good work Jamel, you're a sunshine, a breath of fresh air with your react channel, it's a big joy for me to watch everyday!!! Cheers from Montreal, Canada!!
First off thank you for doing such a great job, & thank you for doing KISS! :-) My wife & I will be married 26 years this July 1st & "Forever" was our wedding song!
That was Eric's last appearance with the band. He went into the hospital pretty soon after that video was shot, and he was not having a great day the day of the shoot. Jamel, if you can find a video of one of his drum solos you will be AMAZED! He was much more a rock drummer, as Peter Criss was a swingband & jazz drummer. In the Animalize tour concert I saw he had drum pads and I remember thinking it was odd since he was like 3 drums shy of Neil Peart's kit (lol). But then, in the solo, he hit one... OMFG! It was a power chord! He had them set up for a couple I-IV-V progressions! He was playing like he was an entire band on his own! He melted the f@%kin' roof off the arena! RIP Eric Carr.
One of my most favorite Kulick solo's. Just brilliant. Written like a dance. The song to. Micheal Bolton himself could do some solo's to. He wrote this song. Paul bought it then stamped "Co-Wrote" on it. When I saw them perform this one in Jacksonville Florida Gene Simmons stood like a statue, no singing, staring in 2-3 directions for long periods through the entire song with a "Gonna sit this one out" look on his face. That was worth the $20 I spent for that ticket and probably the reason I bought two shirts though only making it home with one. The girl I went home with deserved it. She actually deserved a hundred of 'em. Strange waking up with AC/DC's song "Shook me all night long" in my head. Must have been 100 times I sang "She kept her motor clean" with a single vision in my head before I got my teeth brushed. Then the shower with breakfast a few minutes later.
Had the opportunity to meet Paul Stanley and Eric Carr when the played Carbondale, IL on the Asylum tour. They were so gracious to take time to spend with a 7th grade kid. RIP Eric Carr
A major part of the soundtrack to my wasted youth. Nice hearing it again. They really transcended trends over the years. Set them and then adapted to the changes.
This was my wedding song and Eric Carr was a great drummer if you want to hear a great solo from him check out Carr jam from thrashes, smashes and hits
My Mother use to listen this song all the time, she's gone since 22 years but as i hear this tune...i saw her behind the steeringweel, volume up 'n driving down the old countryroads....my wife also like this stuff, for me...well...i listen to a other kind of music...i think ya know what kind it is....
In their day, (Or decades) Not every KISS song made the top 40 radio. But Kiss is one of those bands where they can play a 2-hour concert and the fans not only will know every one of the songs but wish they had played 2 hours more.
This drummer, Eric Carr, passed away in 1991. He was their second drummer after Peter Criss who was with them until the very early 80s. Actually, I think this was Eric Carr's last tour with KISS before he died. I believe he was on most of the tracks for the album that followed, but died before it's release. The last song on the following album "Revenge" was an old jam session with Eric Carr, so basically just a long drum solo with some guitar work mixed in.
Eric Carr (The Fox) died in 1991, Mark St. John died in 2007, Bob Kulick died in 2020. Bob Kulick was not an official KISS member, but appears on four albums, and toured with Paul Stanly on some of his solo tours. Bob Kulick is also the brother of Bruce Kulick, who played lead guitar for KISS from 1983 to 1996.
This song is dedicated to my true love Sandy. We met at work and fell hard for each other. She was in a bad relationship and was also addicted to drugs but she was the most lovable girl you could ever know. She was funny and fun to be around. She was gorgeous and so wonderful. We hit it off and fell in love. I even wanted to marry her. I had a lot of girl friends before her but she was different. We were soul mates. We both knew it. We had only one night ogether but it was magical! She said "I love you so much it scares me. I would marry you but I need time. I have a lot on my plate right now." I said no problem. I will wait till hell freezes over if needed. The next day she moved away. She ran to get away from him but in doing so had to leave me behind as well. I was destroyed! I was even suicidal until I realized that she had to run not only to get away from him but to spare me the threat of him coming after me and the threat of her drug addiction dragging me down. Some times love does things that hurt for the greater good. I will always love her and she me but I met her too late in life. I only pray that we can be together in the afterlife. That might be even better because it lasts forever! I know that she would like that as well. True love is forever and we had something that is meant to last forever!! Two hearts beating as one. She misses me like I do her. I know that because when love is real, you never forget it.
Great band in multiple incarnations, with and without makeup. I saw them 20 + times but the most memorable was Dec ‘76 in Lakeland Fl. Opening number “Detroit Rock City” . Ace is walking down stairs touches the railing and was electrocuted. Fell down and was knocked out for a few minutes. Took about a twenty minute break and then came out and finished. Of course next album Ace writes a song “Shock Me” with an awesome guitar solo! Ace rocks and my favorite song is “Deuce” live from Cobo Hall ‘75.
Eric Carr passed away from heart cancer the same day that Freddie Mercury died. Mark St John, a former lead guitarist, their 4th, passed away April 5, 2007 from a brain hemorrhage, but was only with KISS for a short time in 1984 to record Animalize and be on the tour very briefly. Bob Kulik who was never in the band, his brother Bruce is the lead guitarist in this song and most of the non-makeup years, had recorded many songs with KISS and died May 28, 2020 from heart disease.
KISS has had 3 drummers over their career. Peter Criss was the first and was in makeup as the Catman. Eric Carr, who is the one in this video and was with KISS in both the makeup and non-makeup years, he was the Fox. The current drummer is Eric Singer, who was brought in when Eric Carr was undergoing chemo treatments and too sick to record. Singer has been with KISS in both non-makeup and return to makeup years, he is the current Catman.

I was so sad when he passed.
Im honored to have seen Eric on the Crazy Nights tour! He was one of the best. RIP Eric, youre truly missed.
Sadly, he passed and his loss was overshadowed by the passing the same day of one Freddie Mercury. When they announced Freddie's passing on
DC/101 in D.C. they hardly mentioned Eric. It was a devastating day in music.
R. I. P. Eric Carr
R. I. P. Freddie Mercury
I got to see em during Creatures of the Night tour. Maple Leaf Gardens. Drum kit was a tank. Big gun firing during kick ass drum solo
KISS "Reason to Live" is great!
Eric Carr's drumming is the icing on the cake in this song. R.I.P. Eric.
Died the same day as Freddy Mercury back in 1991

Yep! Fantastic song!!

Paul Stanley has such a distinctive voice. I love it. May not be the best out there, but he always puts his whole soul into everything he sings.
They didn't ask him to be in "Phantom of the Opera" for a year for no reason. ;)

Written by Michael Bolton/Paul Stanley the king of ballads. They drove him from the hospital to shoot the video. His last appearance with the band.
Bruce Kulick. One of the most underrated guitarists on the planet. So is Paul.
Paul's one of music's premier rythym guitarists and totally underrated.
Agreed!
React to I Still Love You from Kiss Unplugged.

Can't do Kiss, without seeing God gave rock and roll, and psycho circus
God Gave Rock'n'Roll to you was actually used in the 2nd Bill And Ted movie
Yes you can.

Gotcha beat by 1 lol

They're unmask era in the 80s and early 90s were actually some of my favorite songs
You need to look up KISS "I Still Love You" from MTV Unplugged. Paul Stanley gives his best vocal performance right there.
Aahhh! So many old memories rushing in right now. ❤️Haven’t listened to this in YEARS!
Kiss - my favorite childhood band. Finally saw them live as an adult many years later. They put on an absolutely incredible show.
Nice job with KISS today
I love the moment when you realized a solo was coming and waited until after to comment and enjoyed the music . Peace & love to everyone .
The drummer , Eric Carr passed away from cancer.
Love Kiss!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Can you please react to their song Beth or Domino? Great song pick and reaction!! 🙂
Yes a real cool surprise today. Appreciate it and you
Thanks for the KISS songs Jamel. I enjoyed each one of them. RIP Eric Carr.
keep the kiss reaction videos coming Jamal. your awesome

YOU GOTTA DO HARD LUCK WOMAN!!!
Peter Criss at his finest!!!!
you should check out some KISS from MTV's unplugged. Might i suggest "I Still Love You" or perhaps "Every Time I Look At You" or even "Rock Bottom"
Vinnie Vincent, Mark St. John, Bruce Kulick and Tommy Thayer could NEVER replace the legendary Ace Frehley
Although I did like vinnies Stuff solo and with the band
Well, arguably they are all better players (not arguably, who are we kidding?), but his signature style and presence couldn't be replaced. I prefer KISS with Ace over anyone else.
Ace was ACE. Just a fun guy.
Dude! I love you and thank you for the love and peace you have in your heart.

Very jazzy/bluezy very retro feel spin on it.

"Let me go rock n roll"!!!!
@@brenlane9847 Yes indeed with Watchin’ you, Creatures of the night, God of thunder and many others !!
Thank you for playing Forever. That was me and my hubby's wedding song. Eric Carr passed away in 1991. This was the last video Eric did.
Wasn’t he in the god gave rock and roll to you video; even though he didn’t play on the song itself?
Actually, Eric's very last video he did for Kiss was God Gave Rock and Roll to You#2
@@charliewallace54 yes but this video was one of the last he did. My mistake. I loved Eric. He gave KISS that "big" sound. RiP
Mine too!! Took dance lessons for it!
Mine too..but now divorced, so not forever...haha.
Dig’n the shirt man! Goes with the tunage! Respect!
That's right! Don't touch that button to pause just yet! Ha! Love this KISS series you've uploaded! Thanks for the memories Jamel, you are the MAN! Peace! ✌☮ Eric Carr from KISS passed away in 1991!
Aww... memories! Thank you!!
Favorite KISS t-shirt I ever owned was from the Crazy Nights tour (1988!) that read "IF IT'S TOO LOUD, YOU'RE TOO OLD"!! -- BB&P!!
Paul Stanley was part of a tour group of the broadway musical Phantom Of The Opera. He played the leading roll of the Phantom. The drummer of this video was the Late Eric Carr. He was the second drummer of the band. He joined after Perter Criss left.
Check out "I Still Love You" from the Mtv "Unplugged" show. One of their best live performances for audio, and the guys themselves were on point as well. Awesome song that breaks my heart and makes me like it.
This was the last video that Eric Carr made with the band before he passed on. He had just had open heart surgery and they found he had cancer on his heart and he was in severe pain making this video but he pushed through for the fans. He was a great drummer and a greater human being. His death was over shadowed by he passing of Freddie Mercury the same day. May they both R.I.P.
God Gave Rock n Roll To You II was the last video Eric Carr filmed. He was really sick at that point. He wore a wig because all of his hair was gone due to cancer treatments. Eric Singer recorded the drum track in the studio but Eric Carr insisted he come out of the hospital to film the video. RIP Eric Carr
Until my life is through, girl I'll be loving you forever...
The beautiful song kiss ever did in my mind and this song put kiss back on track as the best in the world
2 members of KISS have passed since the band has been around.....Mark St. John and Eric Carr
Thanks for adding Mark St. John to the list here, as I believe his guitar work on the 1984 "Animalize" album was and still is spectacular! It was such a shame when he developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome (I think that's right?) that rendered him physically unable to play the guitar or tour for very long. RIP both Mark and Eric...
@@blgeiger71, some solos on 'Animalize' were played by Bruce Kulick though. His brother Bob was also a band member in some way, he died recently.
@@nicksm7980 Bob Kulick was the other guitar player KISS had narrowed it down to between him and Ace. When Ace was having his issues with substance abuse it was Bob they had in the studio creating and playing quite a few of those solos. Then he'd have to teach them to Ace. He also recommended his lil' bro Bruce to the band.
Eric Carr was one of the greatest drummers in the world. He died at a young age of heart cancer in 91 at age 41. But love the band KISS seen them like 5 times in concert and they put on an amazing show and still doing it today. I have been following them way back I. The 70’s .
3 drummers... Peter Criss, Eric Carr and Eric Singer. If you want to be blown away with amazing drumming, Eric Singer on Parasite was insane
Parasite was a Peter Chris era song?
Love this song. Also big on 'Every Time I Look At You' (particularly the MTV Unplugged version)
I'm so happy Jamel now that you're reacting to my favorite band, i discovered them when i was 7 years old and i'm 48 now, KISS music helped me tremendously through all my life!! The 4 original members sing in KISS also. Some other songs you could do are : Detroit Rock City (studio version or the live australian one in 1980), Sure Know Something that is from the Dynasty album, the album that has I Was Made on it too, Black Diamond, Hard Luck Woman, Beth, so you can hear Peter Criss the original drummer sing, New York Groove, Shock Me or Talk To Me, so you can hear Ace Frehley sing, Heaven's On Fire, Tears Are Falling, Reason To Live a great power ballad, God Of Thunder, Love Gun, Thrills In The Night, A World Without Heroes, Shandi, Cold Gin, Lick It Up, All Hell's Breaking Loose, Crazy Nights, I Still Love You the MTV Unplugged version, Unholy, I Just Wanna, Domino, Psycho Circus, Creatures Of The Night, Strutter, Deuce. So many you can do they have a HUGE catalog!!! Keep up the good work Jamel, you're a sunshine, a breath of fresh air with your react channel, it's a big joy for me to watch everyday!!! Cheers from Montreal, Canada!!
First off thank you for doing such a great job, & thank you for doing KISS! :-) My wife & I will be married 26 years this July 1st & "Forever" was our wedding song!
One of the best Kiss songs during their "glam metal" period, and arguably one of their best songs ever.
That was Eric's last appearance with the band. He went into the hospital pretty soon after that video was shot, and he was not having a great day the day of the shoot.
Jamel, if you can find a video of one of his drum solos you will be AMAZED! He was much more a rock drummer, as Peter Criss was a swingband & jazz drummer. In the Animalize tour concert I saw he had drum pads and I remember thinking it was odd since he was like 3 drums shy of Neil Peart's kit (lol). But then, in the solo, he hit one... OMFG! It was a power chord! He had them set up for a couple I-IV-V progressions! He was playing like he was an entire band on his own! He melted the f@%kin' roof off the arena!
RIP Eric Carr.
I had this song in my wedding. We had a CD for when the guests were coming in the church. I'm a Kiss fan, had to have at least 1 song.
My man, totally digging you grooving to KISS! Alive, Destroyer, Creatures of the Night, Revenge and Alive III are masterpieces!!
One of my most favorite Kulick solo's. Just brilliant. Written like a dance. The song to. Micheal Bolton himself could do some solo's to. He wrote this song. Paul bought it then stamped "Co-Wrote" on it. When I saw them perform this one in Jacksonville Florida Gene Simmons stood like a statue, no singing, staring in 2-3 directions for long periods through the entire song with a "Gonna sit this one out" look on his face. That was worth the $20 I spent for that ticket and probably the reason I bought two shirts though only making it home with one. The girl I went home with deserved it. She actually deserved a hundred of 'em. Strange waking up with AC/DC's song "Shook me all night long" in my head. Must have been 100 times I sang "She kept her motor clean" with a single vision in my head before I got my teeth brushed. Then the shower with breakfast a few minutes later.
One of my favorite Kiss songs. I was lucky enough to see them in full make-up 1996. Got a ticket last minute and sat w/out my group. Had a blast!!!
I also have all of their autographs!!!
Beth or Hard Luck Woman are good slower songs. They have such a catalog.
I like both, by Peter and Eric Singer.
Hard Luck Woman is a great Kiss Tune. Drummer Peter Criss sings lead on it.
Thanks so much!~ Keep watching KISS!!!!
Had the opportunity to meet Paul Stanley and Eric Carr when the played Carbondale, IL on the Asylum tour. They were so gracious to take time to spend with a 7th grade kid. RIP Eric Carr
Love that you viewed this song!!
They are very versatile!
A major part of the soundtrack to my wasted youth. Nice hearing it again. They really transcended trends over the years. Set them and then adapted to the changes.
Another ballad by Kiss is "Beth," their highest-charting hit on the Billboard pop singles chart (No. 7) back in 1976
If you're going to do KISS, you have to do "Beth." It was their only number one song.
No, it was never #1.
It was #7 in the Us and #5 in Canada.
Their number 1 song was I was made for loving you and Rock and roll all nite.
This was my wedding song and Eric Carr was a great drummer if you want to hear a great solo from him check out Carr jam from thrashes, smashes and hits
KISS practicing social distancing 30 years ahead of time lol
It’s an amazing song, been a fan of KISS since the 70’s
My Mother use to listen this song all the time, she's gone since 22 years but as i hear this tune...i saw her behind the steeringweel, volume up 'n driving down the old countryroads....my wife also like this stuff, for me...well...i listen to a other kind of music...i think ya know what kind it is....
In their day, (Or decades) Not every KISS song made the top 40 radio. But Kiss is one of those bands where they can play a 2-hour concert and the fans not only will know every one of the songs but wish they had played 2 hours more.
One of KISS song that I love is "I still love you"..
This drummer, Eric Carr, passed away in 1991. He was their second drummer after Peter Criss who was with them until the very early 80s.
Actually, I think this was Eric Carr's last tour with KISS before he died. I believe he was on most of the tracks for the album that followed, but died before it's release.
The last song on the following album "Revenge" was an old jam session with Eric Carr, so basically just a long drum solo with some guitar work mixed in.
I you wanna see this band’s full potential, you need to listen to Kiss - I still love you ( unplugged) 😩💯
Thank you my brother, you are awesome
My parents danced to this song at their wedding reception. Great stuff
Eric Carr (The Fox) died in 1991, Mark St. John died in 2007, Bob Kulick died in 2020. Bob Kulick was not an official KISS member, but appears on four albums, and toured with Paul Stanly on some of his solo tours. Bob Kulick is also the brother of Bruce Kulick, who played lead guitar for KISS from 1983 to 1996.
Straight up junior high school dance memories here!
your in it deep with kiss now bro! so much more great music for you to listen to. next song has to be tears are falling.
This song is dedicated to my true love Sandy. We met at work and fell hard for each other. She was in a bad relationship and was also addicted to drugs but she was the most lovable girl you could ever know. She was funny and fun to be around. She was gorgeous and so wonderful. We hit it off and fell in love. I even wanted to marry her. I had a lot of girl friends before her but she was different. We were soul mates. We both knew it. We had only one night ogether but it was magical! She said "I love you so much it scares me. I would marry you but I need time. I have a lot on my plate right now." I said no problem. I will wait till hell freezes over if needed. The next day she moved away. She ran to get away from him but in doing so had to leave me behind as well. I was destroyed! I was even suicidal until I realized that she had to run not only to get away from him but to spare me the threat of him coming after me and the threat of her drug addiction dragging me down. Some times love does things that hurt for the greater good. I will always love her and she me but I met her too late in life. I only pray that we can be together in the afterlife. That might be even better because it lasts forever! I know that she would like that as well. True love is forever and we had something that is meant to last forever!! Two hearts beating as one. She misses me like I do her. I know that because when love is real, you never forget it.
Great band in multiple incarnations, with and without makeup. I saw them 20 + times but the most memorable was Dec ‘76 in Lakeland Fl. Opening number “Detroit Rock City” . Ace is walking down stairs touches the railing and was electrocuted. Fell down and was knocked out for a few minutes. Took about a twenty minute break and then came out and finished. Of course next album Ace writes a song “Shock Me” with an awesome guitar solo! Ace rocks and my favorite song is “Deuce” live from Cobo Hall ‘75.
Eric Carr passed away from heart cancer the same day that Freddie Mercury died.
Mark St John, a former lead guitarist, their 4th, passed away April 5, 2007 from a brain hemorrhage, but was only with KISS for a short time in 1984 to record Animalize and be on the tour very briefly.
Bob Kulik who was never in the band, his brother Bruce is the lead guitarist in this song and most of the non-makeup years, had recorded many songs with KISS and died May 28, 2020 from heart disease.
Luv luv luv this song
KISS has had 3 drummers over their career. Peter Criss was the first and was in makeup as the Catman. Eric Carr, who is the one in this video and was with KISS in both the makeup and non-makeup years, he was the Fox. The current drummer is Eric Singer, who was brought in when Eric Carr was undergoing chemo treatments and too sick to record. Singer has been with KISS in both non-makeup and return to makeup years, he is the current Catman.
