I just wish she could listen with someone else who enjoys it. It's pretty obvious that he is never going to like anything but Hip-hop He doesn't get into the music, and seems to struggle with even straight forward songs like Shooting Star
ridiculous - his drums swamp the whole track ....they sound like they are all a mile behind him - i hate it .....but , you like it ...good for you - but i like GUITAR !!!
I just recently heard the remixed version on “Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits” and I have to admit, I like the drums better on that version. The drums aren’t as overpowering, not as much reverb or whatever is on this one. Still a kick ass song in every way, shape, or form though.
I've been listening to KISS since I was 10 years old in 1976, so to watch these kids listening to KISS like turning over a rock and seeing a bug for the first time cracks me up. "What is it? I don't know." Lol
People's reaction now do seem like that, don't they? (I too have been a diehard fan since '76.) The reactions are quite similar to the reactions from my own kids, when I first played KISS for them back in the '80s and '90s.😁
First concert I ever went to was KISS in 1978. I have been to well over 100 concerts in my time and by the way, have seen them 4 times. By far they were the loudest ever. Ears would ring for a day after the show.
Can't do rock without including KISS. These guys are a great visual band. Lights, smoke, fire, all sorts of theatrics. Good times to be had. But I'd really recommend their live stuff. Otherwise it's like July 4th with your eyes closed! Peace!
They're not my favorite band but I do really enjoy them. I've seen them five times in concert and hands down they are the best party band to go see. I've seen more concerts than I can remember and no one beats them for bringing the house down in a party way. Every time was a blast.
KISS songs are good. When you listen to KISS performing them live, they are AMAZING. --- I liked them. Then I went to see them in concert, and I was knocked out of this realm in wonder. They are tops or right at the top of any band live.
I feel Kiss is a very important band in the grand scheme of metal. They inspired 80s metal, especially glam, hair rock, extreme live stage shows, and then probably indirectly all of the extreme metal that would come after. Kiss was a phenomenon there was nothing else like them at the time.
FINALLY!!! More KISS! You're gonna hear this a lot but you need to check them out LIVE! The best performances are from the early days with the original 4 members but any good quality live version video is worth checking out. They have albums spanning like 5 decades the library is huge, their style evolved with the times and because of this and the different member line-ups each era of KISS has a different sound/vibe. They are almost a different band from album to album. Check out - I Stole Your Love (Live), Black Diamond, (Live), Cold Gin (Live), Parasite (Live), Dirty Livin (Studio)...sooo many others! For the most part you want live from like 75-79...when they were on top of the world!
@Chris Sarina - I almost forgot about MTV Unplugged! Anything from that set, but Nothing to Lose and Rock n Roll All Nite from Unplugged features the original members + the current members at that time Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer, 6 man band awesome! Also they put out an album of covers called KISS My A** featuring some interesting acts you wouldn't associate with KISS! (Lenny Kravitz, Garth Brooks)
"Shout it out Loud", "Detroit Rock City", "I was made for Loving You", "Love Gun", "Beth", "Plaster Caster", "Rock and Roll all Night"... you have almost FIFTY YEARS of the "KISS ARMY"! you've opened a BIG BARREL of Worms to be Reacted to! The Live Shows are Spectacular as well!
Yeah, there is no way to 'get' KISS without seeing them perform live. Half of what's going on is missing. That's why I prefer it when reactors use the videos, but conceal them from us so they don't have copyright issues. Especially for them, looking from another era's perspective, that added context is pretty huge. Hearing Janis Joplin without seeing her loses a lot of what people loved about Janis. Same here.
@Chief10 Beers I believe it's reasonable to assume that KISS did not wear makeup and costumes because they perceived their act didn't have an important visual element. I love them, but they aren't known as great composers, just solid players with a great act. We can listen to those kinds of bands on the radio and bop along and have fun, agreed. But for people who've seen them in makeup, the songs exist in a different context, and the truth is made of both a fact and its context. So agreed, on the radio they fact is that they are still legit. But that does not mean the version with the visual layer added is not what the radio is, plus a whole other sense. That too is legit, without taking anything away from your valid point.
While I would agree that to get the "ultimate, complete" KISS experience, then yes see the stage show. But if you are going to do that, male sure to watch both a show during the makeup years AND a show during the non-makeup years.......That being said, I actually disagree that you need to see the show in order to understand and relate to the songs. Admittedly, I became more of a fan after seeing them on the Paul Lynde Halloween special in 1976. But they were already my favorite group before I ever seen that. Heck, the only time I seen them in person was in '85 or '86. And my seat was so far from the stage that I could barely see it..... So, in my unasked for opinion, no a person doesn't need to experience the stage show. All is needed is to immerse (sp) yourself in the music and lyrics. Let your brain do the rest.😎
@Chief10 Beers Yeah, agreed, it's hard for people today to imagine that, before recorded video, we might never have seen a major performer we listened to a lot. But even then, even when it was just live, there were still bands in that Glam Rock style--which KISS saw the tail end of --.where the visuals were considered a major component of being a fan of that band. Not seeing Neil Young live I could live with. But not seeing Pink Floyd or Kiss live is, to me and many others, an additional experience. So I do think if they saw them live, they would 'get' them better than just hearing the songs.
"Hit right between the eyes" is an expression for having a sudden, direct impact ... 'read between the lines' is the expression of understanding what something truly means without saying it explicitly... Ratt has a song "Between the eyes"... Scorpions also have the song 'Hit between the eyes' 😁
@@ckobo84 Metaphors, irony, sarcasm. Unknown concepts to alot of younger people. I couldn't believe Lex said that. Brad...not so much. If he read Moby Dick, his brain would explode. 🤯 Or, for that matter, Green Eggs and Ham. "Why are the eggs green????? Yikes.
Growing up in my neighbourhood in the 70's, Kiss was one of the big 4. Everyone was listening to AC/DC, Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin and Kiss. It was a true rock and roll hood. At the local sandwich shop they had the kiss pinball machine. We spent hours pumping that machine with quarters and playing pinball. Great memories
All about loud, 1982, Creatures Of The Night, this was the single from the album and it fades out at the end only to come back just a bit louder and fade away again and end. One of the loudest bands of the 70s, but always lost out to The Who. At 120+ decibels, that's LOUD!!! HUGS!!! :P
1982 when they still had their rock-n-roll faces on. This band changed rock in the early 70's and never felt guilty about it, they were loud, they were all about the parties and ladies, and back then, that was great.
Eric Carr (R.I.P. 😪) on drums. He joined Kiss in 1980 for the 'Unmasked' tour... he assumed the 'Fox' character on stage. He played on Kiss' 1981 album, but it was this 1982 Kiss album 'Creatures of the night' where his thunderous drumming skills were felt on a record - it was Kiss' heaviest album. Unfortunately, Kiss had original members Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and Peter Criss (drums) out of the band, so they were not selling well in 1981 to 1983... Eric Carr and lead guitarist Vinnie Vincent wore makeup for that tour, but Kiss opted to remove the makeup in 1983. The non-makeup Kiss was a rebirth and the band surged in popularity in the 80's. Eric Carr is considered Kiss' best drummer by the fans... his explosive drumming was a big component during the non-makeup era of Kiss. He played in Kiss from 1980 until his death from cancer in 1991... Kiss released the track 'Carr jam' in 1992 which had a great drum solo by Eric Carr. U can check out his live drum solos on TH-cam. 'I love it loud' is one of Gene Simmons'😝 (bass/vocals) best Kiss songs... along with 'War machine' ... 'Unholy' ... 'Fits like a glove' ... 'Rock and roll all nite' 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Saw them in Corpus Christi, Texas on the Lick It Up Tour (first one without their makeup) in either late 1983 or early 84'. One of my first concerts. I was 13. The bands Riot (from New York) and Vandenberg opened up for them.
KISS definitely isn't subtle or artistic, but they give you the essence of rock and crank it up to 11. As good as their music is, their live shows are incredible. Out of all the bands I have seen in my 51 years, KISS gives you way more than your money's worth! You guys HAVE to see them live at least once before they actually do have a final farewell tour!
Hands-down KISS is the greatest concert you could ever go to.... Definitely see them if they come around, as they're on a long "farewell" tour and you might not ever get the chance again. Everything is great with them live - performance, lights, pyros, lasers, big screens - it's incredible...
Yeah the music is good but the show and videos are part of their whole identity. Whenever you do a Kiss reaction you need the video to go with it, would have been more entertained watching ng the video and not the lyrics one.
I've seen KISS in concert 3x, with all 4 original band members (Ace & Peter) as well as the current lineup. If I could go a 4th, I totally would! And yes, I went in full makeup. 🤘😁
Yes✌😎 They came to my town back in the 70s😜 It was crazy cool. Our whole town did the make up, had a parade, dinner etc... Helicopter landed on our football field n they made a grand exit!!! Cadillac, Mi.❤
KISS is a band that must be seen to be heard. Please react to Live KISS. KISS rock and roll night party every day live from the MTV Music awards 1997. OR I STILL LOVE YOU LIVE FROM MTV'S UNPLUGGED. YOU GET TO SEE PAUL STANLEY THE STARCHILD AND GENE SIMMONS THE DEMON WITHOUT MAKEUP. With newer members Eric Singer drums and Bruce Kulick guitar.
Yeah guys Kiss is best seen live or at least the official video for the songs. Always been a live show band even though the music has always been underrated also.
I'm glad to see you do Kiss. In the early 70's - I was in the Kiss Army - which was just a clever marketing scheme - this is a 'mediocre' rock band that was brilliant at marketing themselves - they earned millions in royalties by putting their image on everything from keychains to kids' lunch pails. They even had a famous made-for-TV movie in the 70's. My personal favorite Kiss song is Strutter. Thanks for you reactions.
The kiss army was not a marketing scheme, but a grass roots movement by a guy named bill starkey in Indiana to get the local radio station to play KISS songs in honor of an upcoming sold out concert. Starkey promised an "army" of fans would show up outside the radio station and they did. Kiss was so impressed by this that, from then on the fan club would be called the KISS army!
don't forget the marvel comic 4 part series, Jedd...Stan Lee recalls it fondly on his documentary, he said it was Marvel's biggest seller that year, outsold all the superhero titles.
I rocked the Kiss lunch pail from 80-84 (5 to 9 years old). I used to tell people that Ace Freshly was my favorite member. Obviously I didnt know much about Kiss or music in general, but I loved that Lunch Pail and Mr Freshly and it started a lifelong love or music for sure.
Loudest damn' band I ever saw - when the played Donington it was beyond loud. The festival PA was a new record 1 million watts - Kiss added their touring PA to that... I can still feel it.
So I went to a ACDC Thunderstruck concert. I got so waisted I couldn't really comprehend the sounds or what I was seeing. I walked past one of the large speakers though and I FELT the music. I ended up standing in front of the speaker, my nose inches from it with my eyes closed just loving it. If you have a large loud speaker. Put on something you can get into. Turn it up loud. Put your face and inch or two from it. And feel the music right between your eyes. I've done this sober as well.
Right want it loud right between the eyes,to me,means so loud it doesn't just go through the eyes.it hits so hard it smashes directly into your brain. IMO
Everyone always says the same songs. Got to Choose, Magic Touch, Sure Know Something, and one of their best songs that hardly anyone knows is Nowhere To Run, which shows how great of a vocalist Paul Stanley really is.
Yeah, kind of had to be a diehard fan to know about Nowhere To Run considering that it was (I think) only released originally on a non-USA album, "Killers" (I think the album title was). I had the album. But it was so long ago...
@@willhorting5317 Yes initially outside US but short time later available as import. It's been around long time. So fans going through their catalog over the years should know about it.
Since it's usually associated with being shot / blown away violently with a bullet, "right between the eyes" is just a reference to EXTREME, in-your-face loudness. Check more Kiss or you're missing out. Mr. Speed, Reason To Live, Strutter, or anything from their early days would be good.
"Right between the eyes" is also a reference to a punch in the face. The ideal punch (sudden, hard, and square in your face) that knocks you back on your A$$.
When listening to KISS from the original makeup days, you gotta watch the video performance. Their visual appearance goes hand and hand with the music.
You should have watched official video. Way better than just reading the lyrics,but thanks for checking out some KISS!! Please watch and react to some classic live 70's era KISS!!
My very first concert was KISS. I'm now 57 and have seen many awesome concerts, Sabbath 4 times, VH 8 times, RUSH twice, Ted Nugent twice but none of them were as loud or as awesome on stage as KISS.
@Chief10 Beers I saw KISS in Madison Square Garden cheap seats and my ears rang for 3 days. I bet those guys you saw were awesome though. Sounds like it would be a good show.
As others have said KISS is a show band and just hearing the song is only half the experience. I know it’s not always practical to do videos but maybe you can watch the video on your own time to see the rest of the presentation. Queen is another one that really benefits from watching the whole show to get the experience.
This is KISS's version of AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock". It's a Rock anthem. I love KISS. But of the two, I'd put For Those About To Rock ahead of I Love It Loud. It's all about feeling the full force of the music. He wants the sound to hit him right between the eyes like a real punch in the face.
The drummer in this song was Eric Carr. Before KISS took their makeup, I met n ex girlfriend of his and I knew what he looked like with no make up. He was an amazing guy and it broke my heart that EricCarr died from heart cancer. I will NEVER forget him.
Ah yes, KISS. Brute force rock and roll - they never met a bridge they couldn't force into a song. Somehow they kept getting better in spite of themselves.
If you are just now discovering KISS.. PLEASE go watch live shows!! Best stage show of ANY band. The rest of us have been watching them for almost 50 years now. You owe it to yourself!!
Hey, guy's while Berto is there you should put the laptop in the middle so he can read/ see it instead of all the way on the other side from him. Love you guys! Go ahead and start coaching him up for his own channel so he can get presents one day too! my 2 cents: Pantera " Mouth of War " Keep Rock'in , Sean in FL
there was a video with this song to watch when mtv actually played videos also to check out from kiss, parasite, strangeways, i still llove you, i want you, makin love, 100,000 years, deuce, rock bottom ,black diamond ,too many to list ,i just wanna
When you get punched in the face it can result in ringing ears. Loud music also results in ringing ears so "right between the eyes" is kind of a double comparing the effects of loud music to getting punched in the face. Their music is also loud and kind of violent and shocking (for the times). Like getting punched in the face is violent and can be shocking.
It was loud, yes. But violent? No. It wasn't violent. It was "party"; "sex"; "have fun". Then beginning with (IMHO) the album Dynasty, some of the songs became about love ("Shandi"); lost love ("I Still Love You"); and being betrayed by a lover ("A Million To One")... just to name a few.
The song wasn't over. It fades back in.
True,true.
A smile hits Lex's face every time she hears rock. She's a rock lover no doubt .I just wish she could see the video to this one.
And the guy hardly moves his head...
I just wish she could listen with someone else who enjoys it. It's pretty obvious that he is never going to like anything but Hip-hop He doesn't get into the music, and seems to struggle with even straight forward songs like Shooting Star
@@brettmanus7904 That's really not fair...
This is the original, where the drums are pushed up in the mix. It really showcases Eric Carr. I love it. (Loud.)
ridiculous - his drums swamp the whole track ....they sound like they are all a mile behind him - i hate it .....but , you like it ...good for you - but i like GUITAR !!!
I just recently heard the remixed version on “Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits” and I have to admit, I like the drums better on that version. The drums aren’t as overpowering, not as much reverb or whatever is on this one. Still a kick ass song in every way, shape, or form though.
@Chief10 Beers you are tone deaf then
@Chief10 Beers yeh....well least i dont have a fake profile hey ?
@Chief10 Beers nobody cares that you like kiss or loud drums either....and i call bullshit ...cos you have zero content on your channel

I saw them front row center in Dallas for this song/tour.
Seen them a couple of times and it's a life changing experience.
Absolutely*
Can't do rock without including KISS. These guys are a great visual band. Lights, smoke, fire, all sorts of theatrics. Good times to be had. But I'd really recommend their live stuff. Otherwise it's like July 4th with your eyes closed! Peace!

For as many people that say KISS sucks, they've sold more gold records than any other American band in history and are still kicking after 50 years.
And more merch than any band in history

Got to Choose, Strutter, Cold Gin, Shock Me, Firehouse. They have box sets of their eras. Check out KISS on the Tom Snyder show. Hilarious.
The official music video is amazing. Shoulda played it while listening here......
Brad is too obsessed with the lyrics, but the video has them. Certainly not the same without the video. They are a visual band.
You need to maybe revisit the definition of amazing
"Shout it out Loud", "Detroit Rock City", "I was made for Loving You", "Love Gun", "Beth", "Plaster Caster", "Rock and Roll all Night"... you have almost FIFTY YEARS of the "KISS ARMY"! you've opened a BIG BARREL of Worms to be Reacted to! The Live Shows are Spectacular as well!
Best live concert I have seen and I have been to many. Even in their 60's the energy is unbelievable!!!
You need a Paul Stanley Kiss song...Forever, I Still Love You, Strutter etc.
They not only have to listen, they have to see how they act on stage

They even had a famous made-for-TV movie in the 70's. My personal favorite Kiss song is Strutter. Thanks for you reactions.
Facts!
You can legit buy a KISS coffin that doubles as a beer cooler, when you don't need it yet. Not kidding. Look that shit up.
The kiss army was not a marketing scheme, but a grass roots movement by a guy named bill starkey in Indiana to get the local radio station to play KISS songs in honor of an upcoming sold out concert. Starkey promised an "army" of fans would show up outside the radio station and they did. Kiss was so impressed by this that, from then on the fan club would be called the KISS army!
don't forget the marvel comic 4 part series, Jedd...Stan Lee recalls it fondly on his documentary, he said it was Marvel's biggest seller that year, outsold all the superhero titles.
I rocked the Kiss lunch pail from 80-84 (5 to 9 years old). I used to tell people that Ace Freshly was my favorite member. Obviously I didnt know much about Kiss or music in general, but I loved that Lunch Pail and Mr Freshly and it started a lifelong love or music for sure.
I'm not a huge KISS fan, but this is one of the greatest Hard Rock Anthems of all-time.
Loudest damn' band I ever saw - when the played Donington it was beyond loud. The festival PA was a new record 1 million watts - Kiss added their touring PA to that... I can still feel it.
Anything off Kiss MTV unplugged is awesome I Still Love You amazing vocals.
I grew up with KISS...so much fun 🤘
So I went to a ACDC Thunderstruck concert. I got so waisted I couldn't really comprehend the sounds or what I was seeing. I walked past one of the large speakers though and I FELT the music. I ended up standing in front of the speaker, my nose inches from it with my eyes closed just loving it. If you have a large loud speaker. Put on something you can get into. Turn it up loud. Put your face and inch or two from it. And feel the music right between your eyes. I've done this sober as well.
Oh, thank the good lord!! Kiss baby, more please.
Check out KISS from the same album “I Still Love You”. Great song.
This is one of my favorite kiss songs
Right want it loud right between the eyes,to me,means so loud it doesn't just go through the eyes.it hits so hard it smashes directly into your brain. IMO
Kiss is at their best live...gotta watch some live stuff
Everyone always says the same songs. Got to Choose, Magic Touch, Sure Know Something, and one of their best songs that hardly anyone knows is Nowhere To Run, which shows how great of a vocalist Paul Stanley really is.
Yeah, kind of had to be a diehard fan to know about Nowhere To Run considering that it was (I think) only released originally on a non-USA album, "Killers" (I think the album title was). I had the album. But it was so long ago...
@@willhorting5317 Yes initially outside US but short time later available as import. It's been around long time. So fans going through their catalog over the years should know about it.
Ah, no worries. Didn't mean to sound like a know-it-all, sir. Have a good weekend.😎
@@willhorting5317 no I didn't think that. Have a good one.
Since it's usually associated with being shot / blown away violently with a bullet, "right between the eyes" is just a reference to EXTREME, in-your-face loudness. Check more Kiss or you're missing out. Mr. Speed, Reason To Live, Strutter, or anything from their early days would be good.
"Right between the eyes" is also a reference to a punch in the face. The ideal punch (sudden, hard, and square in your face) that knocks you back on your A$$.
When it comes to KISS...official videos are mandatory.
The neighbors love listening to this with me.
When listening to KISS from the original makeup days, you gotta watch the video performance. Their visual appearance goes hand and hand with the music.
For Lex, two-fisted is a drinking reference.
Two fisted is also a boxing reference. Think about the stance... It ties into the right between the eyes line...
You should have watched official video. Way better than just reading the lyrics,but thanks for checking out some KISS!! Please watch and react to some classic live 70's era KISS!!
My very first concert was KISS. I'm now 57 and have seen many awesome concerts, Sabbath 4 times, VH 8 times, RUSH twice, Ted Nugent twice but none of them were as loud or as awesome on stage as KISS.
The only band louder was ACDC
@@metadeth578 How long did your ears ring after you saw them?
@@dorkmier they're still ringing
@@metadeth578 ha
@Chief10 Beers I saw KISS in Madison Square Garden cheap seats and my ears rang for 3 days. I bet those guys you saw were awesome though. Sounds like it would be a good show.
Those drums my goodness 😍
As others have said KISS is a show band and just hearing the song is only half the experience. I know it’s not always practical to do videos but maybe you can watch the video on your own time to see the rest of the presentation. Queen is another one that really benefits from watching the whole show to get the experience.
Probably my favorite kiss tune!
If you get a chance to go see KISS on their end of the road tour you should definitely do it. They really put on a show. You all would love it!
It’s basically a metaphorical line, “[I want it so loud that it hits me right between the eyes.]” (like a punch to the face)
This is KISS's version of AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock". It's a Rock anthem. I love KISS. But of the two, I'd put For Those About To Rock ahead of I Love It Loud. It's all about feeling the full force of the music. He wants the sound to hit him right between the eyes like a real punch in the face.
You need to do more KISS for sure. Do Strutter and Love Gun for starters.
I still feel this was one of the Best Kiss songs ever!!!
An anthem to get the crowd involved
Fits like A Glove for next kiss
Hey check out one of their best songs..."Heaven's on Fire."
Completely forgot this song even existed … yet how do I remember every lyric? Ahh. Preteen tears. 😂
hear it so loud that it feels like a punch between the eyes
Saw then in 1985. Been a fan ever since.
Need to watch the official video, Makes it so much better. They are a good group and they put on one hell of a show then.....
You 2 should check out ( Calling Dr. Love ) by Kiss
Right between the eyes, the loudness gets into your head and you have to hear it loud. I'm 52 and still listen to loud music.
Come on KISS ARMY! Let’s convince Lex why KISS is the Greatest rock band in the world!!
It still is going lol. They got y'all. You missed the rest lol
He is saying he wants the music to punch 👊🏻 you right between the eyes 👀....FYI, double fisted is beer in each hand 🍻
The kiss Army is real!
The drummer in this song was Eric Carr. Before KISS took their makeup, I met n ex girlfriend of his and I knew what he looked like with no make up. He was an amazing guy and it broke my heart that EricCarr died from heart cancer. I will NEVER forget him.
Possibly the only kiss song that I really like! It's the drums I think that make it epic
KISS - War Machine, Parasite, Charisma, All Hells Breaking Loose
Classic Gene Simmons KISS power song.
....."You wanted the best...you got the best....KISSSSSS"!!!
Ah yes, KISS. Brute force rock and roll - they never met a bridge they couldn't force into a song. Somehow they kept getting better in spite of themselves.
The video contains footage of a show in Brazil I think. Supposed to be over 250,000 people.really cool
Kiss fkn rocks , two fitted means having a shot glass in both hands and taking a double shot
She’s right! The music is to punch you in the faceI’ve seen them seven different times. They’re my favorite band
If you are just now discovering KISS.. PLEASE go watch live shows!! Best stage show of ANY band. The rest of us have been watching them for almost 50 years now. You owe it to yourself!!
Hey, guy's while Berto is there you should put the laptop in the middle so he can read/ see it instead of all the way on the other side from him. Love you guys! Go ahead and start coaching him up for his own channel so he can get presents one day too! my 2 cents: Pantera " Mouth of War " Keep Rock'in , Sean in FL
The album creatures of the night with Eric Carr's first debut album with kiss
Ha! 2 fisted is having a drink in each hand, you know, drinking hardcore. Hehehe.
This one needed to see live video
BLACK DIAMOND
This song you listen to w/ the volume up☝....🤘
Rock on Brad & Lex

I have seen them 3 times. Twice without makeup and once with makeup. You have to do Detroit Rock City!🤘🤘🤘
When you get punched in the face it can result in ringing ears. Loud music also results in ringing ears so "right between the eyes" is kind of a double comparing the effects of loud music to getting punched in the face. Their music is also loud and kind of violent and shocking (for the times). Like getting punched in the face is violent and can be shocking.
It was loud, yes. But violent? No. It wasn't violent. It was "party"; "sex"; "have fun". Then beginning with (IMHO) the album Dynasty, some of the songs became about love ("Shandi"); lost love ("I Still Love You"); and being betrayed by a lover ("A Million To One")... just to name a few.
@@willhorting5317 I was describing this song not their entire catalogue.
