In regards tp the "Beck" "Beth" song origin, Startrekkin has the story right.
I enjoyed this version of this as I did the Destroyer version. As per those who may criticise "Beth"- That song was their only #1 hit; It was their bread and butter and introduced new listeners to KISS. If it wasn't for "Beth", it is questionable that you would be watching this today - and that the Band (less Criss and Frehley) is still around today. Criss is SO earthy and personable. always liked him.
I think this is truly the best version of Beth because it gets everyone together and it's not just Peter singing to a recording. I wish they'd played Beth this way more often. The only other time this song was so memorable was when they did Alive IV and played with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. That was just fucking awesome. Either way, it's fun to watch the "boys" playing together. Good to go, Peter!
First time I heard this song I was in Junior High and a big Kiss fan. What a great thing to be a big fan and have them write a song for Beth. It will always be with me.
I always loved this song,and I think this unpluged version is realy beautiful ! This song realy hits home for me as a man ,blue collar worker,and musician ! I realy hope you,enjoy this ! Sing it Petee ! Love, Chris
Thiis is a great thing to see. When you can put egos aside and just play together. It always makes for great music when you havent played together in awhile and you can just jam.
Beth stopped calling Peter when I showed up and she was never lonely again. She even said I sing better than Peter. Nah never mind I would never do that to the great Cat.... Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter that's The best... YOU WANTED THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS
I love this song but i don´t feel sorry for him cause Beth lefted him. He was to busy doing drugs to see her, I totally blaim Peter, very nice song btw
i agree 100% , people have been telling me that gene can't play... yet iv been playing bass for 7 years and i still find some of his riffs a challenge lol people definitly don't know what their talking about eh!
this is what I would have liked to have heard on Destroyer originally, not that watered-down Bob Ezrin orchestrated crap fest! This is incredible, the Destroyer version of Beth sucks, plain and simple!
It was actually meant to be called "Beck" since he was dating a girl named Rebecca at the time, but Bob Kulick made him change it because he thought people would think he was gay and singing about Jeff Beck. Its true, read, their books.
Ok, I aint trying to get nuthin started, but, do u think that part of the tension Peter had in the group was brought on by the success of this song? I mean, he wrote this with his first band (or some version of it)and all would agree he "owns it" in every sense. When he sings, it is as if he is making love to/with the song & no matter who rolls up there and trys to sing it,"Beth" is all about the Pete. Do u think tension brewed because the drummmer was rocking too hard? Just wondering.
I love this song no matter how many times I hear it. Thats the mark of a classic. I especially love this performance though,Peter is enjoying it and really feeding off the audience reaction and it shows. Love it!
I meant it in a good way, and you're language offends me to the highest degree, I am offended by your crude and unacceptable behavior and I will not have it, you will pay for your sins.
As much as I love the full kick-ass versions of their songs, I really like the "Unplugged" versions. It made it feel like friends playing at your house.
Just a few more hours And I´ll be right home to you I think i hear them callin' Oh, Beth what can i do Beth, what can i do. In danish: Bare få timer mere og jeg vil være hjemme hos dig jeg tror jeg hører dem kalde åh, Beth hvad kan jeg gøre Beth, hvad kan jeg gøre :b
Tal vez a todas las chicas nos gustaría que nos dedicaran esta canción. Sobre todo, me encanta la parte que dice "Just a few more hours And I'll be right home to you I think I hear them callin' Oh, Beth what can I do Beth what can I do" O bueno, en español: "Sólo unas pocas horas más Y estaré en casa contigo Creo que los oigo llamándome Oh, Beth, ¿qué puedo hacer? Beth, ¿qué puedo hacer?"
In regards tp the "Beck" "Beth" song origin, Startrekkin has the story right.
I enjoyed this version of this as I did the Destroyer version. As per those who may criticise "Beth"- That song was their only #1 hit; It was their bread and butter and introduced new listeners to KISS.
