[sjdss]

[KnarshProductions]

obliviously it was put out on time cause it wasnt like MJ where he was rushed to the hospitol

[SalteeThunda]

@70goldtop if you think that kiss sucks so bad then why do you waste your time on YouTube looking up kiss videos?

[MrMedusaLvamp]

@SalteeThunda Cause KISS sucked them soooo good before...that they wanna be sucked again and again and again...once you get sucked in by KISS....U only want MORE!!!!!

Why does it matter that he did it twice, you can clearly see his hair is on fire after the first one.

[deuce1231]

@mikeman123454321 It matters because the available footage of Gene breathing fire rarely shows him blowing more than one fireball. To place the footage, I'd say its Detroit, 1976 for that very reason.

[deuce1231]

This is most likely from one of the three Detroit shows in January 1976 on the tail end of the Alive tour. In fact, the pro shot version of one of those nights, I think the third night, shows Gene's hair catching fire after he blew a second fireball, something he rarely did. That makes the coincidence too hard to ignore andI place this vid in Detroit, January 1976.

To all those speculating it was 1973 or 74, look at the costumes. There's your clue. DUH! Hell, think for a minute, eh?

[GOORVY]

@deuce1231 actually it was from the Dressed To Kill tour

[deuce1231]

I stand by my analysis. The coincidence is too big to ignore.

[GOORVY]

@GOORVY well I say it's from the DTK tour because at taht time Gene didn't had that experience with the fire breathing, and Gene refered at that accident from "the early days" you know before they become famous with the Alive! album

[EddySwass]

Kiss was awesome in the early years. I have to admit that they began to suck at Dynasty. but b4 that they were fucking awesome.

[didda33]

70goldtop, you suck!!!!!!!!!

[lingling86]

Okay, I just realized I made a mistake in my previous post. This incident took place at the Academy of Music on New Year's Eve in 1973. I remembered this from Gene's autobiography.

[lingling86]

I thought I heard that this footage was shot at the Diplomat Hotel in NYC back in 1974. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[RevrendJohnson]

The roadie was doing his job well. Good job dude.

[crismoraes99]

Yeah, that´s a FAST roadie. Congratulations to him.

[MrMedusaLvamp]

@RevrendJohnson Amen to THAT!!!!!...Gene would have looked even more "monsteresque" than he already does if his face would have caught a flame and burned!!!...Remember what happened to Michael Jackson! Thats why all the plastic surgeries afterward..he just went overboad with it later on.

Well, it was going to happen sooner or later, I guess.

Eventually. You play with fire.

But Gene knew the score. The risks.

[sweetpain8277]

Well considering Gene's wearing his Alive outfit, it's more likely late '75 early '76 and that person was not at this particullar show.

[ysounis]

I believe that was taken at the Fillmore east in NYC, 1973/1974. I was at that show!!!
