Man some of you just like to complain about everything. This is a smokin' band and a unique set list. Good for Gene for having some fun and paying homage to some classics.
BRENT WOODS! My friend from school and the guy who introduced me to Randy Rhoads! He was taking lessons from him and Randy lived in between us! Brent is one of the best guitar players I know! Go, brother! You did it, on stage with Gene Simmons!
@@bryanterry415 Yep, and he was on the Foreigner and Styx tour. Of course Sebastian Bach. He is really keeping busy! It seems the older he gets the more gigs he plays! He was with Vince Neil and, well his write-off band Wildside. But he really is a great player, he should be out there! I'm happy for him!
@@RockDawg77 No No! Brent has been my friend since 7th grade! His band Wildside was signed and put out their C.D. in 1990 or 91! Most bands signed that late when the big change in music was because of the short-lived grunge thing, where maybe 2 good bands, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Anyway, bands like Warrant and my old singer's band WWII and of course, Pretty Boy Floyd, and even my own band Fatal Attraction all signed just too late and the record companies stopped giving them money for tours and promo, all those bands were called write-offs because they were basically tax write-offs by the record companies. I know, I was in a band that was doing pretty good and had sold out every club on the strip and touring North America and we were on a small label and by 1991 we were playing small clubs and it was the end of that scene! So, now that I have just written a small book about this sad end of the Hollywood rock and metal scene! So, that is what I meant. I hope that clears things up!
Love it! Gene is really playing, really singing, and really killing it! The man s 75 and still jamming. FU if you have something negative to say. Most of us won't even live that long. Keep shredding, Gene!
I'm cool with it. Why stop if you still enjoy playing live and people will come to see. Who cares if he's 75, he can still play. Many can't. Good for him.
Yeah but Gene is just ripping off kiss by doing their music at least Ace frehley came up with new music even though it sounds like shit it's his own Gene is just playing regurgitated kiss songs
@@ElectraGlide-Joe what the hell are you talking about Gene is playing Kiss songs and their his songs that he sings so how is he ripping off kiss you make no sense at all. And half of Ace Frehley's live set is Kiss songs.
These guys sound waaaaay better than Ace's band. Ace shoulda hung it up a long time ago. Everyone here is good. Ace can't play for 💩 anymore and his vocals if you wanna call em that are terrible.
Wow, I normally don't watch the entire videos, but this I really enjoyed it. I'm a mega metal head in my 50s. This gig Gean did is original and really intimate. It's real. He talks to the crowd and talks to the fans. Gean gets everyone involved. PRITTY fkn cool. FOR THE ONES THAT ARE CRYING AND Complaining?? GO BACK INTO YOU SNOWFLAKE WORLD, THIS IS FOR REAL METAL HEADS AND NOT WANNA BEES... LOL, LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BITCH ABOUT FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. THIS IS A GREAT SHOW. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO FOR US TO ENJOY!! . PS, PLEASE DROP THE HEART SIGN WITH YOUR HANDS AND ALWAYS UP THE IRONS. 🤘😎🇺🇸🍻
I grew up with KISS, saw the Rock and Roll Over tour at age 8, and play guitar because of KISS. Ive seen Ace and Paul perform with solo projects. Ego aside, I dont see what the big deal is about Gene wanting to perform as long as he can. Like them or not, they influenced millions and had a big hand in molding rock.
Hats off to Gene Simmons for creating that badass band that he created I'm really glad to see him back on stage and the band that he created is absolutely badass
I'd definitely go see Gene Simmons Band! It was a serious mistake to sell the KISS brand, even if they weren't going to use it. They could have licensed it out...I would have liked to see a "Kiss Mania" type Broadway show, like they did with the Beatles, but it'd have to be a yuge Theater.
I'm not a KISS loyalist, but I'll admit Gene Simmons is one of my guilty pleasure bass players. I think he's underrated. I'd pay to see this if the tix were reasonable. Tichy slays, and those other two guys rip as well. Thanks for "House of Pain" guys.
TH-cam...thanks! Gene got some good guys. I like when he calls up the girls who are fans instead of eye candy. And the VH trib. Maybe he could throw in another one of his bands songs....EZO. Like the logo and the set. Finland is a war machine!
I went straight to the Mountain cover! Never In My Life is a great song, Gene & his band nail it and its cool to hear something other than Mississippi Queen. Nice fake-out in the intro, too!
It's like 1974. I turn on the Midnight Special. But, sort of a alternate reality. That certain album is the soundtrack of my life. There will never be anything like that again. THIS however has legs. BEST OF LUCK!!!
I can't believe it!!! I didn't hear anything about this! The earth is shaking, the dead are moving, and Gene Fucking Simmons is rockin with his own band after Kiss said farewell Now I've seen it all!!
All bullshit aside KISS was and always will be a staple in ROCK Culture . Maybe you bitching moaning critics are just jealous because Gene can still make the money, sing write and promote newcomers but you simply are not of the caliber it takes to be an iconic ROCK STAR. LONG LIVE ROCK n ROLL
Not really. They had a bunch of teeny boppers, screaming, and yelling in the audience, but they weren’t really rock ‘n roll. Highly produced and promoted like so many others.
Saw the Kiss Comes Alive tour - was enough for me. When BETH came out, I knew KISS was finished lol. Listen to Kiss song DEUCE it sounds alot like this first song
I was curious so I clicked on this, glad I did, I'm impressed these guys are actually really good! Gene's always good and his band is great, smoking drummer and the guitars, are awesome, great job guys, rock on
Gene Simmons wants to keep earning. What ever they earn Gene insists on a Four Way split on each gig. That’s after Gene scoops off 30% from the total earned then the balance is cut evenly between the Gene and his partners.
Caught the original band at the warehouse in the 70's. Speaking of bad sound engineers the warehouse is a midsized wood frame building that has a pretty good acoustic sound, well in those days they put a sound system up big enough for a stadium. I could not hear for three days. Must be the same engineer they are using here. Never did another KISS concert.
🙈 Probably has to pay sony to sing his own stuff now.What kind of musicians sell out everything they have made over the years? He ain't worth a deuce anymore.🤓
Man some of you just like to complain about everything. This is a smokin' band and a unique set list. Good for Gene for having some fun and paying homage to some classics.
STILL AT IT AND THE BAND IS GOOD. GOT TO GIVE SOME RESPECT TO THE MAN.
BRENT WOODS! My friend from school and the guy who introduced me to Randy Rhoads! He was taking lessons from him and Randy lived in between us! Brent is one of the best guitar players I know! Go, brother! You did it, on stage with Gene Simmons!
You got that right. Brent smoked with Wildside. One of the best albums from the hair metal glory years. Still stands up. Tall.
He’s been playing with John Waite recently also.
@@bryanterry415 Yep, and he was on the Foreigner and Styx tour. Of course Sebastian Bach. He is really keeping busy! It seems the older he gets the more gigs he plays! He was with Vince Neil and, well his write-off band Wildside. But he really is a great player, he should be out there! I'm happy for him!
@@MichaelDouglasSkewes That sounds like a back handed comment. What is a write-off band?
@@RockDawg77 No No! Brent has been my friend since 7th grade! His band Wildside was signed and put out their C.D. in 1990 or 91!

75 years old and sounds fucking great.
Wow! I enjoyed that way more than I thought I was going to.
Me too,you can tell he loves the fuck out music
For all the haters let the man rock
Love it! Gene is really playing, really singing, and really killing it! The man s 75 and still jamming. FU if you have something negative to say. Most of us won't even live that long. Keep shredding, Gene!

Sounds great! Looks like he is having a great time too! :) Rock on!!
never a Kiss fan, but this band kicks ass. Gene sounds damn good.
stop hating, the guy is just trying to live a little.arent we all?
@@edwardeddens7677 YES !!👍
Freakin' Rock n Roll... Gene is keeping the flame alive
Good to hear playing
Gene has still got it!!
Killer set list!!!! Rock On Gene!!!!
Sounds good! Gene should really throw a few tunes in there from Asylum and Animalize! Those songs kick ass by him.
Brian Tichey behind the drums!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Gene having fun, Tichy killing it behind the kit.
BT is a bad ass.
Awesome version of Ace of Spades. Gene rocks. Great band.
100 years old and still rockin
lol
I've got to confess Gene and his band is tight sound very good way better than Ace Frehley's solo band
Yes they sound a LOT better.
Yeah but Gene is just ripping off kiss by doing their music at least Ace frehley came up with new music even though it sounds like shit it's his own Gene is just playing regurgitated kiss songs
@@ElectraGlide-Joe what the hell are you talking about Gene is playing Kiss songs and their his songs that he sings so how is he ripping off kiss you make no sense at all. And half of Ace Frehley's live set is Kiss songs.
Dude Gene Wrote those Songs@@ElectraGlide-Joe

Hats off to Gene Simmons for creating that badass band that he created I'm really glad to see him back on stage and the band that he created is absolutely badass
Yea but was it Badass ?
Way to go Gene doing what you love fu you haters
Love the setlist going deep something I wanted from kiss for years but never got
Awesome
Fantastic Band! This band is much better than Kiss by far.
I'd definitely go see Gene Simmons Band! It was a serious mistake to sell the KISS brand, even if they weren't going to use it. They could have licensed it out...I would have liked to see a "Kiss Mania" type Broadway show, like they did with the Beatles, but it'd have to be a yuge Theater.
Sound man is Fired !
Sounds great!!!!

He's a criminally underrated bass player, absolutely.
TH-cam...thanks! Gene got some good guys. I like when he calls up the girls who are fans instead of eye candy. And the VH trib. Maybe he could throw in another one of his bands songs....EZO. Like the logo and the set. Finland is a war machine!
I think Tichy is in the Top 3 best drummers now
Great bass sound. I hope I sing that well at 75
Spinal Tap would be proud , Next Gig is warming up the puppet show
Ace of Spades sounded great
Man, all I can say is wow!
Real rock never dies.....🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
I just saw KISS one year ago. They were awesome!!! Just sayin.
THE BEST.............
Muthafucka still got it big time!
Sounds great 👍
Nice to see him tear it up with out that pos Stanley to ruin it
clean, simple and entertaining.
Good version of War machine!
I like this harder edge
YOU ARE STILL THE MAN GENE 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
The band and it's name and logo will be for sale next week!
Millennials on stage!!!! Things are going to be fine. 4 generations of this music.
27 july 2024; killer show!
I went straight to the Mountain cover! Never In My Life is a great song, Gene & his band nail it and its cool to hear something other than Mississippi Queen. Nice fake-out in the intro, too!

Kick ass !!
They sound good.❤❤
Wow! Bad ass! God bless Gene!
This absolutely needs to be on the radio. ARE YOU READY!!!!? DAMN. GSB!! We need a logo.
Shit man. I love it
Great 🎉 standing firm
I hope they come to Florida!
Flood zone USA
I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE MY FACE RIPPED OFF..FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it!!!
I didn't hear anything about this! The earth is shaking, the dead are moving, and Gene Fucking Simmons is rockin with his own band after Kiss said farewell
Now I've seen it all!!
Hopefully, 1 day they will say there's 1 more road.
I love the intro music
lol, man, comments are all over the place on this. 🤟
All bullshit aside KISS was and always will be a staple in ROCK Culture . Maybe you bitching moaning critics are just jealous because Gene can still make the money, sing write and promote newcomers but you simply are not of the caliber it takes to be an iconic ROCK STAR. LONG LIVE ROCK n ROLL

Gene is such a great Bass Player! He never gets credit for it. I don't think it bothers him at all.
I would go just to see Tichey
I seen Paul play in the Ritz in Roseville Michigan...was cool as F.....Live is good...
So want to see him!
Saw the Kiss Comes Alive tour - was enough for me. When BETH came out, I knew KISS was finished lol. Listen to Kiss song DEUCE it sounds alot like this first song
Wait. You thought Kiss was finished after "Beth"? They played another 30 years. Lol
I was curious so I clicked on this, glad I did, I'm impressed these guys are actually really good! Gene's always good and his band is great, smoking drummer and the guitars, are awesome, great job guys, rock on
The excitement from the crowd is palpable. 😂
weird to hear that intro segue into anything but 'Radioactive' woulda been cool if they'd played it
Who ever don't like gen Simmons can just pull on one!!!
Wow a Skull logo ! That's original
Love them paying homage to AC/DC with the solo on Are you ready!
Great
Put out a new album with your new band gene would be awesome!!!
Gene Simmons wants to keep earning.
What ever they earn Gene insists on a Four Way split on each gig.
That’s after Gene scoops off 30% from the total earned then the balance is cut evenly between the Gene and his partners.
I would like to see Gene do more of his Not Kiss hits gene songs go with the deep tracks that disnt gwt beat to death in the Kiss sets last 20 yrs
Then the promoters wouldn't book and pay him.
Damme gene you arrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Gene you need to Record R U Ready... def a hit
Con el solo de Angus Young the highway to hell.??.naaaaa ya lo hizo AC/DC..😉
Geil!
Song time stamps are all f**ked up
Nice title. Wise up.

How did the girls get in😉🎸🔥
Gene , if rock is dead you seem to be beating a dead horse... Rock will never die, even when it doesn't sell albums anymore.... smh
MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!!!
Go Gene go.......you got my vote!
Best KISS cover band I've ever seen.
ITS NOT KISS COVER !! ITS A GENE SIMMONS SOLO SIDE TOUR !!!
it's KISSLESS
LIKE YOU GO ANYWAY 🤣
Hey Gene, do you miss all the pyrotechnics? That was entertaining, I must say.😂❤
🙈 Probably has to pay sony to sing his own stuff now.What kind of musicians sell out everything they have made over the years? He ain't worth a deuce anymore.🤓
Gêne Simmons without wig
