I saw them in march 1985 at the LaCrosse Center in Wisconsin for their lick it up tour, they were unmasked, which was cool. I was 19 yrs old at the time. 31 years later I was at the adjacent park to the La Crosse center one evening with my young kids and I noticed all the side streets were filled with cars, so I asked a passerby what was going on. He stated it was a Kiss concert. Gosh, that would have been cool to see them all those years later! If I'm not mistaken, the ticket price in '85 was $12.50
I saw them in concert in 1978. Was so close t9 the stage I couldn’t hear for 3 days. I could feel the heat from Gene’s fire breathing on my face. SO AWESOME! Yeah, I’m old but 1970’s is where to find the best music.
@@Mozart1220 Have you actually been to a KISS concert? I attended two… Destroyer in the late 70s and this week in Vancouver. It was as good, if not better than I remembered them. Every era of KISS is great. Eric and Tommy do not get enough recognition for all they've done over DECADES (20 to 30 years!). They are not newbies! Originals will always be “The Originals”… The Greatest. However, times change, people decide to move on and life continues. Every member of the great band is a special part of the entire ride. Why not simply enjoy these guys for the last two months they are prepared to perform for us? Gene and Paul are in their 70s and I am in my late 60s. God bless ‘em all, former and current members.
@@ReddFourBirds Ace has been sober for a couple decades now. He's released an album, and is touring. Guess what? HE DOESNT LIP.SINC TO CANNED RECORDINGS LIKE KISS DOES.
I remember sitting at my friends house reading Cream Magazine in the mid 70's and he was like, "check this band out." The love was instantaneous I got it immediately. I was too young to really process the macho sort of rock and roll sexuality of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith. I didn't connect with them as a kid, they were adults and I was 13. Kiss was much different. Each character of Kiss was so well defined, so cool, comic book looking and the music was easily accessible to me. Lifetime fan. Every time I hear them I think about the first moment I saw them.
When I was a kid, I was inherently hostile towards KISS. I HATED THEIR MAKE UP, I HATED THEIR MUSIC & generally did not like them. I automatically felt that way into adulthood UNTIL I started listening to Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons on TH-cam as I worked out. I quickly discovered that they both WERE DAMN GOOD at narrating & telling their stories. From there I started listening to their music & very quickly became a fan of their music & of them. . .
End so it Ends....i have been blessed to see the original KISS in 1996 at Donington Park, Rotterdam and Utrecht, I was present on the Dutch TV Recording of I Love it Loud, plus seen 4 concerts of the Animalize Tour in Germany with Eric Carr (RIP) en Bruce Kulick \m/__{ 'ꓕ' }__\m/
Cobo Hall, Detroit. Front row. So much confetti were dropped we had it on our sweat soaked bodies, in our eyes/mouth/ears/ for 3 days. So thick you couldn't breathe. It was in my car for a month. That, plus my ears felt "stuffed up" for 2 days as well. On the way home we couldn't hear a thing. It was insane.
Glad i got to witness my favorite group from the ground up ! 70's till the end ! Think i saw them about 27 times over 50 years !!! Mostly the Real kiss !
I'd love to meet them in person before a show. Them and Queen the only super pure rock n roll bands. My favorites but never seen either live in concert
Saw them all in Edmonton on Friday Nov 10th. Best rockin roll show I have ever seen in my 57 years!!! All the lads did a fantastic job!!! Great final tour!
If I could ask Gene or Paul (those two were originally part of the band then) ONE question, I'd ask what they thought of Bob Seger BEFORE they chose him to open for them on tour, (right after the "Live Bullet" album) WHY they chose him, and what they thought of Bob after he finally hit it big.
they probably didnt choose him, he was chosen by the people putting the tour together, the managers etc....kiss prob had nothing to do with it, honestly, especially in those days
So good..... I have been a fan since the beginning,,,,,,they never forgot Perth when they came to Aystraia,,,like so many other bands (ie Paul McCartney 2023 )............Loved every show boys.........Thanks for the memories..................
Thanks for posting, fun video! Some people complain but actually are taking their time to be here, but just the same consider blocking those that take up space on your account who bring low life energy
The Real Rocken Roll Trooper Gene Simmons You Have Had The Most Fun But You Work The Hardest For It Thanks For Being A Rocken Roll Hero & Always Pushing The Boundaries Of Stage Rock Theater Your The Best Congratulations On Setting The Bar So High Nobody Can Reach It Job Well Done🌩️ 🌩️God Of Thunder🌩️ & Rocken Roll🦹🎸
@@bobbymcbulge18 I’m a twelve year old girl and if any of the members of the band see this, know I’m still loyal and as a fan well, yeah, BUT THE NAME OF THE BAND WILL NEVER DIE OR BE FORGOTTEN!!!! (Holds up KISS army banner) Also who knows what may happen in five years/ten years? I hope I’ll be nearly this good a rockstar one day. So for the guy with the mean comment, NEVER SHALL WE DIE!!!! (Is bloody and sweaty but holds up banner)
He copied the exact thing Peter wore in the 70s so what's sad is he is copying a guy playing an original character Peter Criss created and Tommy Aces guitar tech is playing Ace Frehley the spaceman a character Ace Frehley created why do people accept this? The funny thing is as a kid growing up in the late 60s and early 70s Ace and Peter were the only reason I liked Kiss. Paul I never cared for. I like Peter's voice much better and Ace's guitar playing created the sound of Kiss Gene was okay in his demon costume but to me, Ace and Peter were the talent and heart of Kiss when they left so did I. I only watched to see if they would be celebrated and when they were not even mentioned I was disappointed and the look on Paul's face as he climbed the stairs is how I feel about him what a goof and a loser of a human being and I could care less about how successful and rich he is. The way he talks about and treats the two guys that made him as rich as he has become will come back to him in Karma.
Ich war am Boden zerstört als im Juni 2019 das Abschluss Konzert von Kiss in Berlin Waldbühne war!!! Ich hatte Karten für das Konzert!!! Und am 12.05.2019 breche ich mir mein linkes Bein ( Wadenbein) ,mit OP und 8:Wochen stark eingeschränkt in Bewegung,ich hab geheult!!! Da hat man die Gelegenheit seine Lieblings Band zu sehen und dann war's das durch eigenes dummes Verschulden,bin über meine Vibrationsplatte gefallen!!!
A few people writing bad comments here, but they´ve all watched the video. Honestly - I be glad, that Gene and Paul are already there - this remnants of the old- and the "new" rock-world are sad enough.
Have you watched the video? Not saying Kiss is bad no disrespect to the music, the video content and the lack of footage in a sequence is terrible. KISS should have had their own people edit this video.
tuve la fortuna de saludar de mano a los kiss en mexico en el año de 1994 cuando vinieron a una estacion de radio donde yo trabajaba de staff tengo hasta foto con ellos
What a great band, a real legend! So many people participate in the preparation of their show and they still manage to put on their own make-up!!👍👍🔥🔥🎶🎵🎸
Saw several BTS videos where Gene/Sophie are putting on make-up. Gene say it takes, at least, 2hrs put on "the warpaint!"-lol. Although have seen Family Jewels, still in awe how Gene interacts w/Sophie, Totally $tunning young woman, BTW. All the Be$t to the KISS Family!
One of my all time favorite bands. It’s sad because I never got to see them in concert, but they’ll always hold a special place in my heart.🖤🤍🖤

Они до сих пор выступают, чо ты дурак ни как не купишь билет?
I totally agree. I never got to see them at all and regret not seeing them. I would defiantly go to a KISS concert :)

I grew up listening to kiss. My kids even love listening to them .a real legend.awsom
Bring those kids up right! I have taken my middle grandchild to see them twice.
MARC❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😘
Woow, how friendly they are. Fantastic!😍😍😍😍
Those “old men” know how to ROCK! KISS ARMY!!!!! ✊
Still goin’ and rocking the house
Oh my goodness all these years and the makeup and the costumes how did they do it. 😮🤘🏾🎸🎶WOW!!! I AM AMAZED.
I’ve been listening to KISS since I was a baby and now I’m 39 I’m a big fan of KISS
The music in this video BLOWS!
Masterpiece ever. Great
I love they do their own makeup.
Yessssssss Kiss
歩み続ける事の難しさ、大切さ、尊さを
彼らから学んだ。
ファンであり続けた世界中の
KISS ARMYを誇りに思う🤘🏻
Love Gene . I hope he does another reality show now...
Thank you kiss you are the best Rock band in the world
It's been so wild and amazing to watch and be a part of kiss,s journey through the years.thanks brothas for being a part of one.
Kiss forever , they rule! Kiss fan fan.
KISS died in 1979.
Mozart died earlier lol@@Mozart1220
That is my favorite band
When kiss started out in the 70s, they said let’s cover our faces up with make up because in 50 years this will come in handy😂
When I saw Stanley applying his makeup I thought the same thing.
😂
To be fair, one could say that about some ladies, too😂
I get tired just cleaning my house. Don't know how they keep up the energy. Saw them in Jacksonville, FL a few years ago. Amazing!
I could listen to Gene Simmons all day he is very entertaining and has always given great interviews God bless Gene and your band members and family
I’m the second generation fan of KISS 😇
They are living legends, glad to have them around and still rocking and rolling after all this years.
KISS died in 1979, and if not then CERTAINLY when they put impostors in Ave and Peters makeup. They are a BAD tribute band.
Yes, aren't backing tapes and impostors on stage amazing?
@@Mozart1220 Well to be fair Ace isn't so hot nowadays. I think he's toast too.

2 things.. i am AMAZED they still do their own makeup, and anytime i see a band in a hallway... Hello Cleveland !!
That make up is perfect

And you never will see either of them. Both are sad shadows of their former selves.
@@steveludwig4200 Show us your achievements over the last 50 yrs...I'll be waiting here 😆
Saw them in the 70's in chicago, my dad took me, cool dad!😂
Rush has entered the chat...
I got to see the Animalize and asylum concerts in 1984 and 1985 - they were great then but wouldn't go to end of the road without peter and Ace.
Bruh you literally saw them without ace and peter. You have no reason to complain.
Saw them all in Edmonton on Friday Nov 10th. Best rockin roll show I have ever seen in my 57 years!!! All the lads did a fantastic job!!! Great final tour!

Saw the show in Detroit last night awesome!!!
I love the song called I was made for Lovin you 😝🤟
I love all the theatre and stage show and especially their dress
Très beau travail, ça fait plaisir.❤🎉
Amazing video and I have only seen them once.
IT IS so much hard to Stop with the band after so a Long Time

Sad that it's over. 😭
Awesome 😎👍
Kiss is the only band I know of that plays their own songs before the show during the waiting period in the audience
😂 they are a joke now
It’s the same tape that they use for the show …
@@deebedwell580🤣🤣🤣 what’s the worst is that I’m sure you’re right.
Couldn't disagree more
I have seen kiss 23 times since 1983 and never ever heard them play their own music before a concert
@@andrewcross8244they are worth billions of dollars. expensive joke
Humble guys. 💫
love it !
Wow I did not know that they applied their own face painting of the makeup. SO COOL!!! 😊🤘🏾🎸🎶
SAME HERE. That is amazing. I figured for sure they would pay someone else to do that.
