The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Detroit Rock City

[AgentStaple]

i dont want to outlive dicky, and im 17 WHY!!!!

[MarsPhoenix63]

Listening to this guy sing keeps making me want to clear my throat.

Awesome cover.

[sammylane21]

At their next show in L.A. KISS needs to have this guys play w/ them on stage!!

[DrewDiggler83]

Got that same Thrasher magazine hat with a subscription in 1992! Ahhh the good days......

[sammylane21]

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!!A heavily under appreciated '90's band!!LOVE'EM!!

[chunkyboy90]

so what's your role in the band? I'm the badass guy that dances while the bad plays

[sammylane21]

Anyone noticed the kid from DAZED AND CONFUSED in here??Or is it just me??

[sammylane21]

Anyone ever noticed that the video and the sound don't quite match together??It has the sound of a person getting into a car and yet it shows no car and someone putting a record on a record player??

[slkrck53]

Bosstones version is better than the Kiss version any day!

[nikkisixxfan86]

It's almost like ska-punk with crust punk vocals. haha!

[LdaAnonymous]

Shity vocal!

[crue4229]

his voice sucks in this..

[M15CY]

@crue4229 no bitch, the raspier and more distorted Dicky's voice gets, the better.

[crue4229]

@M15CY fuck you. kiss is better..

[TheOfficeNinja]

@crue4229 KISS isn't Ska, therefore they can't be better. Rationale good sir, rationale.

[crue4229]

@TheOfficeNinja kiss is rock and roll, i like the bosstones but i think kiss is more talented. its an opinion, you dont have to argue with me

[TheOfficeNinja]

@crue4229 Haha I'm joking, I love KISS and the Bosstones. Really even though Ska is my forte, gotta respect the Star Child.

[priestfan1223]

the vocals SUCK!!!!

[switchbladejustice]

CC Deville is a much better guitarist than Ace Frehley FAIL wrong on all accounts

[alexlocurto]

Ok, so I hate KISS I used to think that Rock & Roll All Night was their best song, then I found out that Poison did it better anyway, so why bother with them? Then I heard DRC, and thought that I may have a reason to listen to KISS again. After seeing this video, I guess not.

[skeletal13]

@alexlocurto You're judging by the Bosstones, and you think the Poison version is better? Maybe you need your hearing checked! lol

[alexlocurto]

@skeletal13 Well I like Ska a lot more than the Glam type stuff that Kiss does, so that's a no brainier. And as far as Poison vs. Kiss, that's all personal preference. CC Deville is a much better guitarist than Ace Frehley, I like Bret Michael's voice better, and I just generally have more respect for Poison.

[M15CY]

@skeletal13 what do you mean, "you're judging by the Bosstones"? *BossToneS***** i hope you're not insulting them.

[darkwatchesvideos]

thrasher!

[XdownforlifeX]

Slap Shot!

[FuegoSantoRottweiler]

excelente cover mejor que el original.

[jumaudavi]

Slapshot shirt!

[lawsonfam]

Def a great cover!!!! Also, thumbs up if you were a member of the KISS Army and owned albums!!

[lawsonfam]

Def a great cover. Thumbs up if you were a member of the KISS Army.

[PH03N1XM4N]

Im loosing my mind listening to this song.. all 4 da right reasons hahahaha

[FuegoSantoRottweiler]

Excelente banda los Mighty Mighty bosstones.

[connorsax2012]

Bumper Pool!!!!

[MrChavasosa]

lamejor banda de ska monterrey la escucha

[GodotheInfantry]

Fuck Vevo.

[orfmor]

I sense some irony in this song, i don't know why.

[strengthenmeGod]

Actually a great cover song was Frankie Goes to Hollywood (if you could believe it), doing Springstings, "Born to Run". Though I find this cover pretty good also.

[imabadexample1]

Is that dude with green hair's job just to dance and look boss? You better give him a raise!

[DarioAlispahic]

@imabadexample1 He is their manager, and he dances all the time in all videos and shows...

[hitchinaride3]

@imabadexample1 that's the manager. He's been with them since the beginning.

[aklassen999]

@imabadexample1 he sings a little too!

[janspek33]

@imabadexample1 Thats the manager. He controls the raises

[sammylane21]

@janspek33 Lol!And here I go thinking that it is Gene who controls the band's pay with absolute power??Lol!

[MissTorible]

@imabadexample1 That dude is my cousin, Ben Carr. He is an amazing dancer, his father just pasted away! :(

[boredperson81]

@imabadexample1 he is the band manager

[Calambre3]

I LOVEE VEVO !!!!!!!!!

[blooddimond472]

reminds me of kiss symphony,

[speedmtrs]

realmente a melhor que ja vi.

[realgaylog]

I raped VEVO'S "O"

[GothicChickenAnal]

03:57 til the end perhaps 03:38 til the end sorta reminds me of a couple of songs from Children of Bodom

[CherryONeil]

It's better than I thought it would be. I like it.

[Zrinschchuck]

THIS ROCKS :D

[uiruu]

Most people would say: Oh my god at the end Dicky Barrett met Gene Simmons. But I say Oh my god at the end Gene Simmons met Dicky Barrett! I'm so jealous...

[0001kd]

hate vevo!!! leave us alone!!!!

[relopezlaw]

what's wrong w/ his voice? no comparison to the original. decent cover though.

[uiruu]

@relopezlaw He sounds like he swallowed about thirty cigarettes. But that's what makes Dicky Barrett Dicky Barrett. Whatever Dicky sounds like, he is the godfather of Ska-core, so it doesn't matter.

[Happymealify]

Dear vevo....oh wait, I have a life

[jrewing1979]

Why is Dickie wearing a necklace made of penne pasta?

[danktrain420]

@jrewing1979 why not?

[pimpyourhideontube]

.....sounds just a little.....like LEMMY!

[TakeoverCanada12]

When people do covers your not expecting it to be better just something to listen and enjoy like all the covers of All Along The Watchtower

[BodaciousWickerman]

This is awesome!!!

[goldcheif800]

what game is that?

[alfredo904]

Ah! cuantos recuerdos Mighty Mighty, tremenda cancion, y tambien ... tremendo cover, excelente, por un momento ni nos acordamos de kiss, ojo solo por un momento dije, saludos.

[GodMaker88]

first time i heard this (no music video) - i thought it was Motorhead......there a brilliant band, and im sure some of you know what i mean

[EchigoDragon]

I love KISS and I love this version!

[MrHello6780]

i love the thrasher hat, man.

[JohnnyChatterbox]

Haha, I like how you say no wonder they only had one hit like its easy to get one hit. When i see a music video with you hanging out with Gene singing Detroit Rock City what you say will matter... Just saying....

[YourDJCoach]

i dig vivo

[guitarcomet5]

Wow....I can see why Gene was against them trying this song. Mega-fail! The bass & drums were great! The guitar work & horns were par for the course. BUT,....The vocalist needs to be shot. No wonder they only had the one hit....who would wanna listen to that guy sing more than one song?

[TheMarchingNerd]

@guitarcomet5 About every single TMMB fan?

[guitarcomet5]

@TheMarchingNerd ...All 5 of them?

[backdoorcj]

@guitarcomet5 Oh fuck off fanboy this is great.Better than the original.

[misfitsruby]

@guitarcomet5 mighty mighty bosstones are better musicians than KISS

KISS are entertainers not musicians

[guitarcomet5]

@misfitsruby .... I'm talking about the vocals. They suck! The music was fine (albeit missing a few harmony leads) Vocals are a main focal point in pop music. The focal point sounded like hairy balls!

[vortexcito]

@misfitsruby wtf are you talking about??? a wanna know some real reasons why the are not musician according to you. enlight me please.....

[Satanamo666]

@vortexcito If you have to ask, you don't know a goddamn thing about music.

[luisk7rock]

@misfitsruby ok man.....you're an idiot

[jokaisdabomb]

@guitarcomet5 I agree with you, this cover is not good at all. The vocals are terrible. Don't get me wrong, The MMB is a great band, but this song is just terrible. No way this stands up to KISS. 

[M15CY]

@jokaisdabomb it's not supposed to stand up to kiss. but yes it does. its all about preference. i like this song better than the kiss original, but the MMB like it, obviously. and them covering it decently is great. and the vocals don't suck at all.

[M15CY]

@guitarcomet5 anyone with good taste.

any more questions? i'd be happy to oblige.

[Hibari9420]

waaaaay to baddass, I love this version

[1123Dinkel]

What a great cover. I love it when a band can take a song, add their own element to it and not kill the original. I mean, it's no KISS version, but it is VERY well done. 

[broskiewtf]

whats up with the lyrics dubbing in this video? it looks like dicky doesnt know the lyrics

[GuttedAtBirth]

press f5 to skip commercials! Thumbs up to let people know!

[AlexMercersRevenge]

@GuttedAtBirth Are you sure? It seems to just make the commercial replay itself...

[BrianAltenhofel]

@GuttedAtBirth they fixed that

[mfnheff]

wow. nothing like seeing an ad for ol bieber, while watching gene simmons talk to dickie about a cover of drc, which megadeth never did.

at least i didn't see a bieber ad last time i watched a megedeth vid

[Twistidfan21]

wow such a great band even though they have some down beat songs it just makes me love them more we need another band like them now!!!

[dougpw]

@Twistidfan21 revisit some Less Than Jake, Both MMBT and LTJ are good stuff...

[my85svo1]

yep best kiss cover.



[Hailfire97]

This is the kind of music I grew up on. It was a magical time when I was 4.

[embeleshow]

the only good song on "kiss my ass"

Gene actually has improved with age since the 90s

[marsan079]

Oh!GOD!!Does this version EVER bring back A LOT OF SMOKE FILLED AFTERNOONS in my High School!!Hehe!!

[Panterakid96]

i like kiss i like halloween i like candy and i love bumper pool lol

[srhmusic13]

HEY ROBBIE! You wanna play bumber pool?

[7monkeyman8]

So good

[aklassen17]

Finally a Kiss song that doesn't suck!!!

[SteveTheVahn]

@aklassen17 Ooh, low blow :P

[7monkeyman8]

@aklassen17 that hurts.

[claypiesexygod]

vevo is a fucking cunt whore!

[darkvampirefairy666]

AHHH!!! WtF?! Kill it! Kill this "VEVO"!!!

[kevin462]

wtf is VEVO?

[maumaxart]

Fuck this fucking VEVO

[Ominous09]

FUCK VEVO!

[JoNINVidz]

esto si es ska para cabrones!!!

[johnnypark1]

Awesome version of this awesome tune.

[cheezydoodlez]

his voice sounds gargley

[pdd420]

@cheezydoodlez Thats because he used to gargle whiskey. Known fact. My brother was told by none other than Dicky himself.

[cheezydoodlez]

wow thats unfortunate cus theyre pretty talented

[XthatsrightX]

I always wondered what this song would sound like if Motorhead sang it.... no, honestly I never did wonder.... and this song is why.

[goodfella2145]

this is about as lemmy as it gets, voice wise

[shitwizard]

I wan't to see Vevo go away.

[Lucifersteapot]

@shitwizard There is not an apostrophe in want.

[cocolaboom]

@shitwizard I would be fine if just Lady Gaga went away...

[MetalsonicX7]

@cocolaboom It would be better to unite and fight against modern poor excuse music like rap and hip hop 0:)

[awt00]

@shitwizard without vevo, there would be no youtube.

[uiruu]

@shitwizard You wa not to see it go away?

[jukkis6699]

@shitwizard why?

[myfukkinname]

Dammit...I want to see Police Beat live

[deltahotel93]

when will the 4th wave of ska come?

[anwarXsadat]

how much more can the sound of ska be altered?

[deltahotel93]

I just mean, "Why can't more people appreciate ska?"

[TheOfficialBackBrace]

@deltahotel93 after right before 2012.

[cappsoutlaw]

i can't belive these guy were not on the top 100 song of the 1990's

[nc490codyshuman]

kiss is beter but this is a good version

[patriciaketchup]

[shawn0606]

[skooterjoe]

[igilam]

@skooterjoe You gotta be kiding me...This is best cover?I can't imagine the worst....Sorry.

[skooterjoe]
