nobody can touch the daltrey scream and gene is nowhere in the same league as the ox. I respect that kiss is honoring one of the bands that influenced them and so many other great bands the one and only the who.
It is so surreal to hear this whole thing played live as opposed to the way the Who does it where Pete just plays the power chords to the pre-taped "strings-section" or whatever you want to call it.
@oberfour1. Are you kidding me? VH blows Kiss away in every sense of the word. Including their version of this song. Kiss is one of the most overrrated bands, ever. They are mediocre musicians, at best.
@thisischavez Dude, the whole "Kiss are mediocre musicians" thing is long out of fashion, since people realized what damn good musicians they really are. You gotta catch up and stop spewing lines from 1977 that Zeppelin fans used to say.
@1957pinup. Sorry, brother...but the truth never goes "out of fashion". Kiss is overrated and their talent is average at best. They have some good songs. That's undeniable. But strictly as musicians, I'm gonna disagree with you. But hey, that's just my opinion. And you know what they say about opinions, right?
This was in the era when KISS decided to be heavy metal rock stars instead of super heroes. Pretty fucking stupid idea if you ask me. The world was full of metal stars, but we were somewhat short on heroes.
@tobdrue69 I was there too tobdrue!! Tarrant county convention center brotha! Wasp, holy shit, ain't thought about them boys in ages....how OLD are we dude? lol
@deemullins1 - Man we are getting up there. I remember Chris Holmes coming out in a Dallas Cowboys jersey and helmet when they sang Blind in Texas. Tarrant County was better for concerts back in the day as you were allowed to use pyro/fire etc. there. I also saw Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin tour there with Metallica opening up (Master of Puppets tour) when Cliff was still alive.
I can't stand the idiots who talk shit about Ace---if he wasn't such a fuck up he'd still be there. I love both Ace and Peter, but Kiss is bigger than the individual-and its been proven over the years. Like it or not Gene and Paul do most of the singing, and thats the most recognizable trait in the band.
KISS wasn't that great. Compared to other bands, like the who, or Van Halen, or Aerosmith, their musical tallent is crap. The guitar riffs are simple as 2+2.. But they write good songs, and put on a good show.. Rock N Roll all night!! lml
@kiritateruryu ...... you should listen to the ENTIRE album by KISS called "Carnival of Souls.. the Final Sessions" .... and THEN, tell me they dont have a good musical ability. Seriously... and if you don't then your as air-headed as the rest of them, that Want to belive a lie.
I never cared about the make up, but you can say anything but NOT that KISS can't play well... they are an awesome band! and this is a pretty good cover :)
Watch Gene carefully on that video... He nails that tough line while singing on top of that. Do you call that novice?
Gene's style is totally opposite to Entwistle's, more sticking-to-the-basics (Entwistle himself had said that "The Who don't have a proper bass player). Plus, Gene's basslines have always been the framework of KISS music, pay attention to Modern Day Delilah out of Sonic Boom (takes some balls to pull this one properly)
Props to Gene (even if he's a real douchebag as character)
I was at this show in Fort Worth! And yes, they rocked it out.Thank you soooo much for this video. Eric also had a great drum solo during this show,do you have it?
I saw them do this song in albany on this tour. Everyone just went nuts when they started! It was great! The other things I remember were Paul Stanley missing a step going up the lightning stairs on the left and falling flat on his face. He's a pro though, you could tell he was in pain but he just looked up and smiled. His guitar was way out of tune after hitting the stairs so his tech ran him out another one. I also remember my friend getting kicked in the head and knocked out!
man this song came on right before the curtain fell when kiss came to montreal last month, then they jammed it halfway through one f their songs it was fucking badass
Back on the hot in the shade tour in Portland Or the did a montage of beatle tunes, i can't remember which ones but it was about 5 songs and lasted about 6 mins. paul and gene singing back and forth like paul and john did. wish i had a copy of that!!!!
Actually, the covered "Then He Kissed Me" but changed "He" to "She". But the song, to my knowledge, was never played live other than being on Love Gun.
i saw them do this in cleveland @ richfield coliseum (r.i.p.) dec. 11th 1985--my first kiss concert--and when they started this song the place went APESHIT !!! ironically enough, black & blue opened up for them.....little did tommy thayer know that he'd end up playing with them years later
I was at that show. When the opening hard rock chord kicked in, the KISS logo became the colors of the American Flag. And Paul, Gene and Eric each sang a verse. The Coliseum was THE place to see rock shows. I live in LA and love the music venues here, but back in the day there was NO better place to see a show than the Coliseum. The crowds were jacked beyond compare- like a religious experience!
I was at that one as well. Great show. And your right.....the place was electric. You could feel the hair on the back of your neck standing up when they started to play this tune. What a great memory!
@GordonExpress Yea that sign was cool. and state of the art back then. they should use it again. I seen them on this tour in kansas city. got some great pics....
It is always great when Paul and Gene sing together! This is an amazing song and they play it with respect. Maybe the tempo is too fast but Kiss used to play fast live in those days, even their own songs.
KISS were the Biggest Most successful band of the 70s regardless of How they got there or the method they used to get there. ....Success is success . To this day...Compare Love Gun in its entirity to Pink Floyd wish you were here or Zep-Presense ........Which one is gonne be more boring? Sure wont be Love Gun. I love zep & Floyd But they couldnt match KISS Record sales,Merchendice or concert attendance.
Maybe, but how much merchandise have they sold? KISS are a merchandising machine. Take away the records, and Zeppelin is just another band. They have a few good tunes, but I think most of their records are sold due to nostalgia these days.
Kiss in the 80s up rill now are an exellent rock band.......But in the 70s, There was NO band on Earth bigger or more successful! And if u think the beathles or elvis topped them in the 70s, think Agian. .........and just for teh record....by the time the early 80s came along & ozzy was trying for success.....He borrowed an idea ot two.from KISS. kiss was the Biggest Best & Ultimate band of the 70s plain & simple. ....Everyone has opinions.....But The Numbers dont lie!
According to the books "KISS Alive Forever" and "KISS and Sell" the number say that KISS was a very big group in the 70's, but groups like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were far bigger and drew larger numbers to their concerts. KISS is my favorite group but they were built on hype and merchandising.
damienbaits is a f'n dumb ass and doesn't know what he's talking about, Pete IS not a convicted sex offender, it was a total misunderstanding, go read the Facts you ASS! And the KISS Circus SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
''Kiss came along and blew the UK outta the water'' !?? don't make me laugh. KISS were, are and will remain an absolute circus act, they admit it themselves for fuck's sake. Your name is very apt by the way.
You just heard something but really don't know what happened, do you?
He did something that was very wrong (legally and morally because only government investigators may, with a court order, pay money to a criminal organization to serve an investigation), he was also extremely naive but it doesn't come close to what you imply.
Eric Carr is amazing in this video clip. He does Keith Moon proud and the whole band really rocks this one out. I saw this tour in Glens Falls, NY on December 19th, 1985. It was a great show!!!
This is really neat. Like with the video of them playing Whole Lotta Love, it's just them having a bunch of fun on stage. They're not trying to be better than the original or even live up to it. They just break out into a song they all know to have fun and to give the audience a good show. Lighten up people.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What a disgrace! Never thought I would ever hear the best rock song in the world played by a bunch of queers dressed up in makeup. They are nothing but a bubblegum, saturday morning cartoon playing idiots.
Well it could be A LOT worse. At least it's not Limp Bizkits cover of Behind Blue Eyes. That was way more of a disgrace. And don't even get me started on Hillary Duff's cover of My Generation.
yo asshole they did a damn good job on this song, and they are better than the who, compare the who's number of big hits to kiss's, and youll see they arent as good
yo ASSHOLE, KISS is an overhyped garage band made up of former school teachers and high school dropouts wearing makeup to hide their ugly faces. The Who is a pioneer rock band that set the path for hundreds of other bands. KISS is nothing but aSatuday morning cartoon act playing bubblegum music.
I dig it. Gene is definitely no Entwistle though..lol. But, then again, there was only one Ox. I also agree with iggyfan. Kiss doing a tribute album to their favorites. Sort of like what Rush did with Feedback. Sounds good.
Very cool. Bruce is rockin' out. It's good to hear Eric sing. I have to admit, I think if Bruce were to have his own makeup/costume altar ego, he should be the Guinea Pig.
I'm pretty impressed with this actually. There's not much I like about the Kiss era without make-up, but this cover of an amazing song by The Who is really not too bad.
This is a pretty good cover. It beats the hell out of the one that Van Halen had on their 93 live album, that's for sure.
However, my two favorite Who covers were when Pearl Jam did Baba O'Reilly in Champaign 03, and recently when they did Love Reign O'er Me. (Only have audio, not video of those thus far).

He did something that was very wrong (legally and morally because only government investigators may, with a court order, pay money to a criminal organization to serve an investigation), he was also extremely naive but it doesn't come close to what you imply.

Eric Carr is amazing in this video clip. He does Keith Moon proud and the whole band really rocks this one out. I saw this tour in Glens Falls, NY on December 19th, 1985. It was a great show!!!

This is really neat. Like with the video of them playing Whole Lotta Love, it's just them having a bunch of fun on stage. They're not trying to be better than the original or even live up to it. They just break out into a song they all know to have fun and to give the audience a good show. Lighten up people.

My thoughts exactly! It's all about pleasing their fans and putting on the best show they can. And Kiss is great at that.

What a disgrace! Never thought I would ever hear the best rock song in the world played by a bunch of queers dressed up in makeup. They are nothing but a bubblegum, saturday morning cartoon playing idiots.

I believe Pete Townshend is the real queer.Not being funny here.I think its the truth.

Well it could be A LOT worse. At least it's not Limp Bizkits cover of Behind Blue Eyes. That was way more of a disgrace. And don't even get me started on Hillary Duff's cover of My Generation.

yo asshole they did a damn good job on this song, and they are better than the who, compare the who's number of big hits to kiss's, and youll see they arent as good

yo ASSHOLE, KISS is an overhyped garage band made up of former school teachers and high school dropouts wearing makeup to hide their ugly faces. The Who is a pioneer rock band that set the path for hundreds of other bands. KISS is nothing but aSatuday morning cartoon act playing bubblegum music.

KISS did a kind of short version of this song in Stockholm, Sweden, 30/5.

I think this was done to show their musical 'inspiration' they appreciate the influences !
As well, it would be hard to 'visualize' them doing this in the 'make up'!

Not in any way! They would still it this to the basement.Like everything else ;P

I dig it. Gene is definitely no Entwistle though..lol. But, then again, there was only one Ox. I also agree with iggyfan. Kiss doing a tribute album to their favorites. Sort of like what Rush did with Feedback. Sounds good.

Very cool. Bruce is rockin' out. It's good to hear Eric sing. I have to admit, I think if Bruce were to have his own makeup/costume altar ego, he should be the Guinea Pig.

Man, Eric Carr really rocks this one out, doesn't he? He's channelling Keith Moon here big time.

I'm pretty impressed with this actually. There's not much I like about the Kiss era without make-up, but this cover of an amazing song by The Who is really not too bad.

This is a pretty good cover. It beats the hell out of the one that Van Halen had on their 93 live album, that's for sure.
However, my two favorite Who covers were when Pearl Jam did Baba O'Reilly in Champaign 03, and recently when they did Love Reign O'er Me. (Only have audio, not video of those thus far).
