Kiss - Black Diamond (Live @ Rock am Ring 2010) (HD)

[aCloudOfHaze]

rock am ring crowd always seems dead. THIS IS A ROCK CITY PEOPLEFASJLKAJDSKLJADSKLCASsfa­vcasc

[DanielAraujoNazar]

Nice! They still got it. Eric is even more amazing than I'd thought.

[PauloSimmonsStanley]

Fucking better than Peter. Get over it.

[6bassdrum]

anyone else love the way the mic swings back and forth, haha

[thoughtsofmany]

well for those of you who where not around when kiss hit the scene, they helped to redefine rock, in fact were it not for them you not have the bands you have today. As far as they are too old, well let's see you do a 20 gig tour while in your fifties, any way the haert of the group is still there and beating, all the members they ever had are truly great in their own right. My hat is off to any band that can still pull that kind of a show no matter how long they have been on the scene.

[MegaAzharIqbal]

crowd of over 400,000 \m/ and they are 40 years old now :)

[everyonedoesit2]

I always thought Carr was the best singer, and the best drummer. Eric Singer does an admirable job these days though, it doesn't quite have the same attack as Carr did, but it's still decent. Peter lost it a long time ago hehe

[LuisCriss1]

@glampunkrodrigo no is Peter Criss

Criss is unique is better singing black diamond

and while playing

But Eric Carr was much better playing drums

[letoniosan]

Eric Singer is the best drummer of the KISS!!!!

[LuisCriss1]

@letoniosan sorry is Eric Carr

[glampunkrodrigo]

@LuisCriss1 sorry, singer is better

[Genkimark]

Sorry, but as for Beth and Black Diamond...if it ain't Criss, it ain't KISS.

[KevinVanRillaer]

Eric his scream is fantastic ! 1:35

[hellish1102]

Eric Singer was technically the best Kiss drummer. the guy playing in this video. Carr was good some ways better than Singer,drumming is ART not a contest. When it came to straight solid Rock drumming its pretty hard to beat Singer whos played with Alice Cooper Gary Moore, Lita ford, and many others….Even Ace Frehleys solo effort. I heard the Kiss reunion tour and believe me I left half way through Criss cant keep time. I thought it was the whole band but Gene and Paul here seem pretty tight.

[Tonyr67]

Got news for you....

All bands, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, van Halen, Ozzy, Rammstein...... you name it.... are in it for the money...

Believe it or not, it's all business!!!!!

[1970Stanley]

Eric Singer is the BEST drummer Kiss ever hat.

[vancouvercanucks99]

sorry guys but eric singer is the best drummer kiss has had, just because eric carr played fast doesnt mean he was the best eric singer is more natural and his timing is so much better

[jackosumm]

Singers voice is way to soft

[jackosumm]

this is shit compared to Eric Carr

[Tomcather]

Carr is better

[vincenzo0069]

Nevermind, I got it. I KNEW it was Zeppelin! It was the Immigrant Song.

[ZackSchmit]

@vincenzo0069 nope it wasnt immigrant song it was whole lotta love.

[vincenzo0069]

@ZackSchmit I wasn't talking about the song KISS covered by Led Zeppelin-Whole Lotta Love at this concert. But before KISS even came out on stage they were playing the Immigrant song by Zeppelin on the speakers.

[ZackSchmit]

@vincenzo0069 ohh alright lol nevermind

[vincenzo0069]

Hey guys, who has the DVD and knows can you tell me the name of the song BEFORE they start playing? The big KISS banner is up & it plays between the woman reporters part and when the crowd starts chanting "KISS"

[FlinkenFour]

everyone is complaining on eric singer taking over the make - up and the drumming position, but he has been tossed like a glove back and forth... i mean it can't be easy to take over after eric carr (best drummer ever) and get hated by everyone, then to get kicked because peter is coming back just for 5 years then get pulled back in for 1 year just to get kicked again because peter wanted to be a part of alive iv... so don't give him such a hard time i mean it can't be easy for him Kiss forever!

[bombwow]

kiss will never be the same without ace and criss .

[pietroalive35]

if you love black diamond.......you love kiss

[jamesthemaniac]

Out of the three, I think Criss is the best singer, but carr was the best drummer. Thayer is by far the best guitarist, but frehley was a much more natural performer.

[paok1900]

@jamesthemaniac has thayer written these historic songs???.......NO...has singer or carr???....NO....

so shut up...KISS is not KISS without peter and ace...

[Tonyr67]

@paok1900

Has Peter or Ace written this song????

NO!!!

Now you shut up!

Rock am ring was about 100.000 people..... They are nothing without Criss or Frehley? I don't think so!!!!!

[paok1900]

@Tonyr67 then who has???Tomy???and it doesnt matter if there are 100.000 thousand people..look at the farewell tour and wou ll se the real KISS

[Tonyr67]

@paok1900

If you want the "real" KISS, watch and listen to them untill 1975...

That's the only era from the band where Criss & Frehley where involved.

Besides, I'm having some footage from their farewell tour.

They've never sounded worse... Frehley was beyond worse. And Peter.... well He was just Peter... a sloppy old man!

And it does matter if your crowd is about 100.000. Strength in numbers, dude!

[paok1900]

@Tonyr67 you mean from 1975..

then ok its up to you..you want the real or the fake one..the money making machine..

now dont tell me that singer can sing better than peter!!!then you should check your ears

[Tonyr67]

@paok1900

I think you should check your objectivity!

[9tome6]

@jamesthemaniac I don't think we've seen Thayer's full potential because he's modelling his playing and stage presence after Ace. Going by what I've seen of the three (Ace, Tom, Bruce), I'd go as far as to say Bruce is the best guitarist they've had, though Ace is definitely my favourite

[RNH31214]

i love how this song is about a black prostitute!

[G6GamingTV]

Eric can't Sing!

[ACDCKISSCCRSkynyrd]

@G6GamingTV he can sing but maybe his voice isnt good as Peter's for this song but when you look in general Eric Singer is the best KISS drummer.

btw I like every KISS drummer but that is fact.

[kissfan5150]

Eric not as good as Pete? you are NOT listining w/ your ears ,but yer heart. Love Ace n Pete 2,but thats over now. We ve seen lots of line ups that nobody bitched & now everybodys baggn on em. I been w/them since 75, & THIS show proves they still got it! Thanks 2 haveing 2 guys much more professional, they add new life 2 kiss. & they are on point EVERY NIGHT!!! kiss is who REALLY wants 2 be in kiss. Just lighten up & engoy!

[froggerhater]

i love how people rip on eric singer for singing this but when eric carr sang it, everyone thinks its amazing. news flash people, you only like eric carr's version better cuz hes dead. i dont mean to be harsh, but if eric singer died and some other guy was in kiss singing this, youd rip on him and then on eric singers video, youd comment on how amazing it is. your all a bunch of fucking hypocrites. if u dont like the music then shut the fuck up and dont listen to it. simple as that.

[lovegungoodfun]

@froggerhater No I think people liked car doing it because it was not fake!! it just seems Tommy and Singer are being Ace and pete!! I love Eric Singer and Revenge was one of my all time albums.. Its not them I dont like they need there own make up and be able to be Tommy and Eric that would have my respect!!

[RNH31214]

Just doesn't sound right without Peter singing it!

[SirRamonaHellsing]

I love it when Eric Singer sings Black Diamond, he does such a good job.

[spudnutsncoffee]

Peter Criss owns this song. Of course, Gene Simmons would correct me and tell me that KISS owns this song, and that since KISS is Paul and Gene, in reality Gene and Paul own it and Peter Criss can go screw himself. Of course, Peter Criss would then say, "Can you see why I quite this band, with those to megalomaniacs in charge? Then, a very old Ace Frehley would say, "Yeah, that is why I quit too. That and my drug and alcohol issues." Peter would then say, "Oh, well, yeah, me too I guess."

[KissKicksAss95]

lol

[dimastegar1]

superb...!!

[doublemisty1440]

OOHH MAN THI IS WRONG HOW CAN THIS IMPOSTOR SING THIS SONG, THIS SONG JUST SHOULD BE SINGEND BY PETER CRISS, NOT OTHER, I REALLY MISS SO MUCH PETER AND ACE, THE ORIGINAL LINE UP

[Alejandrocc1994]

Eric's voice is so amazing!! Eric is a MASTER.

[spudnutsncoffee]

@Alejandrocc1994 You have to be kidding? What country are you from? Were you force-fed Justin Beiber for the last year?

[Alejandrocc1994]

@spudnutsncoffee You could hate Eric or you can love Peter Criss but you must recognise that Eric has a wonderful voice. Actually,nowadays Eric's voice is better than nowadays Paul's ones.

[thomasrosiefan1]

Peter sings better on this live, Eric Singer sounded better on the rerecording of Black Diamond. But this is not bad.

[OkiroTacoBell]

nice that eric sings this one, but genes totally out of tune when he sings...

[TheElwoodblues94]

My favourite song of KISS, but only when Eric Singer sing this Song

[jspfgh]

@TheElwoodblues94

Agree, man!

[pitaten01]

i think eric carr and peter were the best at this song but i dont really care who sings it~

[gigi876]

Oh dudes , I don't know why do you want the OLD Kiss back ... It's good that Eric Singer and Tommy are young , they can play better and also they can sing a lot better ! :) The original line-up was best at its time , and now lets open the roads for the youngsters ! :D

[spudnutsncoffee]

@gigi876 KISS is a rock and roll band, not a broadway show or a football team. Opening the road for the youngsters? I agree that technically Singer and Thayer are better at their instruments, but they are not better at creating the signature sound the 4 founding members created when they played together. Retire the damned act. It is OLD and lacks life.

[AceOfHeart2012]

There's just no fire there anymore. It's all product. I never thought I would see this happen. In this world of blatant consumerism nothing is sacred.

[spudnutsncoffee]

@AceOfHeart2012 Well said.

[mix3848]

Hey guys, don´t fight, personally, I think Eric Singer it´s great, Eric Carr was great, Peter it´s great, but Eric Singer has all the skills and feeling, Eric Singer is a better musician period.

[MrEODTEK]

@mix3848 Right on! Eric SINGER is THE DEFINITIVE KISS percussionist!!! NO QUESTION!!!

[jspfgh]

@MrEODTEK

Absolutley, bro!

[ACDCKISSCCRSkynyrd]

TOMMY THAYER ROCKS!!!

[Speros11]

Tommy totally kicked ass on the solo

[MrEODTEK]

@FunkyShotsProduction PART 2: (continuing)....If you take a shit and piss first BEFORE you (rightly) funnel Cabon Monoxide into your vehicle WHILE your in it...your family will not have to worry about cleaning out that wretched stench when they sell it!

[PetitBajo6to]

canta como nena.... sing like a baby...needs more nuts....

[MrEODTEK]

@PetitBajo6to you're useless

[PetitBajo6to]

@MrEODTEK  check this man...before peter criss eric carr was the best singer and player on the drums

[PetitBajo6to]

.youtube.com/watch?v=FtVwbT3an­oM&feature=related

[Mssmaimone]

Doesn't matter who sings it, every Kiss drummer sung this song perfect, so it's always perfect!

[roadhouse48]

I think peter was better at singing

[StyrofoamKup]

FKING A!!! CAN I FAVORITE THIS MORE THAN ONCE

[brickmaster24]

That guys no peter criss but hes good, if he can play this song while singing hes gotta be good

[FunkyShotsProduction]

Singer is just a ridiculous cat and a lousy singer too.

[MrEODTEK]

@FunkyShotsProduction You are even more useless that PetitBajo6to! Do the KISS army a favour....and do what you've been contemplating for many years now. I recommend a Walther P99. It WILL scatter your (useless) grey matter all over the room...let alone the wall. OR....a rope or electrical cord in your garage or basement will work. (I'll send you the rope). OR a hose from your exhaust straight into the interior of your car, No noise...just the motor idling...remember to shit and piss first.

[spudnutsncoffee]

@MrEODTEK You are very strange. Your fascination with suicide tells me you have thought about this for a long time. Have you considered therapy?

[bulletbeltful]

KISS KISS KISS

[Luukablee]

eric s. has such an amazing young voice! i love it

[spudnutsncoffee]

@Luukablee Are you gay?

[gnee29]

What a wonderful voice ! That song is simply killer stuff... Whoever sings it !

[giosmrbig]

coooooool !!!

[Ryantrain1936]

just like every other song they play now..there played to slow ...drives me nuts!!

[MrEODTEK]

@Ryantrain1936 Too slow???? Go back to the ORIGINAL recordings...like the 3rd disc you get with Sonic Boom...studio recordings from the '70's.....like....Lick It Up...RARAN...Shout It Out Loud...THAT'S...TOO SLOW!!!!

[TurkishMan8594]

Thayer may not be Ace but hes one damn good guitarist

[bierna89]

simply the best world's song ;)

[KissDestroyerKiss]

i like this concert

[XBeatlesXx]

eric has a amazing voice !!!

[TheRantingRocker]

Damn kiss all sing really good.

[Beyond13337]

dude´s got some hot manboobs! (0.58)

[MrKissDrummer]

Drummer Eric Singer :) :)

[giutar24]

Don't go to watch KISS at a Festival. Their stage show probably isn't as good., But When they play in a big stadium, By their self. It's a hell of a show. :D.

[nissansentraglx]

how would gene feel if someone else dressed as the demon? he would hate it!

[X5h0t3r]

@nissansentraglx That's the plan man, KISS will go on forever, just somebody else under mask... there would be no KISS today with ACE and Pete

[MrEODTEK]

@X5h0t3r Agreed...Eric and Tommy are outstanding choices for their 2 roles in the band. And ...btw NISSAN...2009VWGLI...one of only 20K made...and the final year of prod.

[nissansentraglx]

it's just not the same as when Peter sang it. Nothing beats the original.

[Tirael14]

To my surprise, Erik very well sang this song. But certainly his voice does not compare with the voice of Peter. I like Peter's hoarseness...

[EricSingerVorEver]

eric singer best druma des schönste lied coole stimme :))

[nissansentraglx]

this version is an insult to the 1977 msg version.

[bubnjar1993]

black diamond with eric singer= best version !!

[strangecreature13]

Black Diamond has always been my favorite song an wheb Eric does it it´s just like heaven

[IcedEarthaholic]

Good lord, this proves that KISS STILL has it! Singer did a pretty good job if I say so myself, and these guys are playing better than ever. KISS is one of those bands that sounds better live than in the studio if you ask me, if someone were to ever ask me to attend a KISS concert, I'd do it in a heartbeat. And Black Diamond truly is an incredible song, one of their best ever!

[spudnutsncoffee]

@IcedEarthaholic Oh yeah, this proves it alright - that the only thing KISS still has is a need to make money through merchandising. KISS is a glorified Partridge Family.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@spudnutsncoffee ah, temper temper monsieur, no need to get angry over someone's opinion, and to call them a glorified Partridge Family? Tut tut. Me thinks you need to go take a chill pill, relax and then call me in the morning.

[spudnutsncoffee]

@IcedEarthaholic heheh cute. Sadly, I truly feel this way. And hey, I LOVED the Partridge family .... I may even still have my Partridge Family lunch box somewhere. So, yes, I think I am more than qualified to recognize a gimmick when see it :P so there. Take that! Kah-Pow! Booof! Crack! Oooof!

[IcedEarthaholic]

@spudnutsncoffee nah, I think I'm good to go on that, but thanks. Lemme guess, are you the eggman too?

[spudnutsncoffee]

@IcedEarthaholic No, I am the Walrus.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@spudnutsncoffee koo koo kachoo, koo koo kachoo!

[spudnutsncoffee]

@IcedEarthaholic I think we have a marketable act here! Hehehhe

[Knatterfuchs]

The voice ist greatlicious !!!

[demon312003]

you wanted the best you best got the best the hottest best the hotest band in the world Kiss no matter who is w/ the band we should enjoy them while their still rockin n rollin

[Jansson33]

gotta say Singer does this very well!

[gigi876]

@Jansson33 Only very well? He sings this song fucking great ! :)

[36hcupsizeandgrowing]

its good version, of the song, Peter did it best. and everyone else is  cover and thats ok. long live rock.

[Brittneyx897]

eric singer is so sexy

[Inowhenitskr3wtime]

This is cool i have it for dvd awsome at first they interview kiss i just love the dvd beraly got it yesterday for 8$ worth the 8 bucks

[jaysingerlee]

eris singer is the exellent dummer fuck man this man is a perfect musican yeah!!1

[TheDemonchild2010]

i like black diamond when peter criss sings it

[kissarmy305]

@TheDemonchild2010 I liked Black Diamond when Peter sung it, i liked Black Diamond When Eric Carr Sung it, I like Black Diamond when Eric Singer sings it, Black Diamond is just a kick ass song, i don't give a ratts ass who sings it, whenever this song is in the set-list, it blows my mind away, and wel Peter was the original, nut sertenly not the best if you ask me ;) .

[toxicthunder09]

@kissarmy305 You're right. He actually didn't even right this song, Paul did.

[Atreyufolife]

@kissarmy305 as a drummer maybe but as far as black diamond i think he is certainly*

[RATKING10]

@kissarmy305 peter = adequate

[spudnutsncoffee]

@kissarmy305 Guess I have to disagree with you here mate. Eric Singer is no singer.

[spudnutsncoffee]

Not only does Criss own (yes, I said OWN) this song (no matter what the two dictators say), Criss was a better drummer. Yeah, Eric, Gene has you under his thumb. Now you know what Peter and Ace went through all those years. Of course, if Peter and Ace had bothered to remain sober, they might have enjoyed being in KISS a bit more. Gene and Paul, consummate businessmen that they are, have no patience for drugs and alcohol.

[twistedsister64]

@TheDemonchild2010 me too =^^=

[jonnebonn]

@TheDemonchild2010 yeah that's the best version, but i like this too

[75LetMeKnow75]

@TheDemonchild2010 Stupid

[Krazlo]

@TheDemonchild2010 cause of that, your probaly the one disliking

[joeymcnew37209]

@TheDemonchild2010 Eric does it ok but, When Peter does it, It's the Real Deal!

[FlinkenFour]

@joeymcnew37209 peter sings it way better, but he is so fucking lazy on the drums. Sure singer is 10 years younger but anyway

[gitarrist96]

@TheDemonchild2010 too.

[craigm1995]

they have big shoes

[MelliTarantino]

Was sagt Eric da eigentlich zu Gene? Weiß das vielleicht jemand?

Ich liebe Erics Stimme! Er ist einfach der Hammer!!

[jacobmj9]

@MelliTarantino Er Sagte: Gene you've got me under your thumb



[twoo57]

OMG!

[miristdaszubloed]

saugeil, ohne spaß!!! SAUGEIL! HENNING!
