[makwabid69]

OH....MY...GAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­D

[kawsaki344]

cool

[atonnelson]

I love them since i was 16 and still love them @ 50!



[XYtruck25]

Nice air guitar playing Paul, lazy bastard. Best firehouse version is 2001 in japan. Eric singer was playing drums. Eric and Ace rule together. Peter and Ace are not as good.

[MOSKII58]

ace's guitar is as cool as you can get a custom les paul with 3 pups cherry burst w/ a flamed top and a white pickguard..this is a dream guitar..i wonder if he still has it or if it is in decent shape..anyone know??

[boomer1991]

Ace is the man!!!

[keyblok]

can someone tell me where can I find a siren sound like that to use in my band?

[MAGNUM2F]

firehouse! tremendous, simply tremendous!

[pietroalive35]

[mooluvr1030]

[loverman123able]

I SEEN THIS TOUR TWO PLACES MIAMI AND ORLANDO

[TheBellTollsForMe]

It didn't show when Ace hits the guitar against his leg during the dead notes in the verse... That's my favorite part of the song (Sorry Gene)

[teidenzero]

SIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEN WHOOOOOOOOA!

[slickback333]

The Olympic torch of ROCK!!!

[starlisa777]

I was looking for this. I thought noone had it. FIREHOUSE!! It brings back memories.

[chainsawchucke]

They sound a little off here.

[keyblok]

@chainsawchucke you mean Ace.. he crapped the whole show with wrong notes..

[mads32]

2 people don't know what rock'n roll is all about!

[DarkpoolFantasy]

Never heard Paul sing so good b4.

[ollthelek]

listn to good bye to jane by slade. The verse sound very simular to this song. And the one from slade is older.

[kapalen]

@ollthelek

Hmm there is a similarity, but Paul wrote this song while he was still in high school so it makes the timeline on the two fuzzy.

[jaikwillis]

they look like mimes, too bad they dont sound like them too

[RAC22963]

Hard to believe this tour was 15 years ago.

[pnkaoru]

Gibson smash Greco,

Well Paul Stanley model guiter gone.

[anchor8966]

July 3 2010

I wonder way this was never used as a theme for the show Rescue Me, I think it would've work great for it. Paul is the TRUE front man for KISS, People say he should keep quit, what the hell for GET YOUR ASS UP AND PARTY IT'S ROCK AND ROLL FOR GODS SAKE, if he has to remind u so be it, BUT U WILL GET YOUR ASS UP believe that..

[Bigstrat2]

@davizm lmao... good one

[XBLModz]

KiSS Were Before Twisted Sister

Im 13 And i stll Know That

And KiSS ARE THE MOST FAMOUS AND BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

[elcerrito494]

Actually, not true. Twisted Sister's been around since 72, KISS since 73. But KISS hit it big WAYYYYYY before Twisted Sister did.

[gtafan823]

kiss is actually 72 dude

[elcerrito494]

Frehley wasn't in until '73, so KISS wasn't officially formed until '73.

[gtafan823]

i say 72

[elcerrito494]

You can say '71, it still doesn't change the facts that Twisted Sister had a lineup that played in public before KISS did. KISS was still Wicked Lester in January.

[gtafan823]

@elcerrito494 kiss played in clubs the time twisted sister started

[elcerrito494]

Not true. KISS didn't play in clubs until January 31st of 1973. Dude, you're just wrong.

[gtafan823]

@elcerrito494 yes they did. you may say im wrong but im actually right

[elcerrito494]

Back it up then. No wikipedia.

[gtafan823]

@elcerrito494 look at the interview and info on internet.

[elcerrito494]

Link me, dude.

[gtafan823]

im 13 and know that to lol kiss for life eh?

[Cwilfert56]

i just love the riffs of almost every KISS song

[firemage1986]

i'm laughing at the Beatles/KISS comparison. whoever brought thAt up? the Beatles influenced many great bands that rose in their wake, but to directly compare them? 2 totally different genres of rock, babes.

on a different note, does anyone here have the mad urge to yell "WOOhoo, YEAH!" whenever someone mentions a fire brigade? o__O

[Linnets]

best intro done to this song imo

[Demoncurse123]

Gene Simmons with the Sword and Fire, one of the hottest Features they come up with

[sdog378]

in my opinion one the GREATEST kiss songs

[mausca61]

..ace talent and music

[AnthonyB14]

one of my favourite kiss songs

[CDT565]

Kiss bitch

Beatles sucks ass

[jennmeto]

You guys are comparing the Beatles to KISS on which is better. Be honest, its a tough choice. Both had problems. The Beatles had Yoko Ono to deal with and Peter and Ace had Gene simmons to deal with. Hard to say which was better. Maybe the best band is Molly Hatchet? You guys remeber them, "flirting with disaster?" How come Ace's guitar sounds werid, too whinny?

[Bgkgtjh]

Yeah. The Beatles had their problems in the late 60's when John didn't care about the band anymore and the fans hated them and so on. Kiss had the drug and drinking problems, Ace and Peter didn't play on the albums in the late 70's and beginning of 80's. Even though they are one of the biggest bands ever.

[Legendcjr37]

Ace's guitar had that weird, whiny sound throughout the whole Reunion and subsequent tours. It never really sounded crisp / sharp. Too twangy of a sound, or something.

[Khorul]

You can't compare KISS with the Beatles. They're style is totally different. The guys from Liverpool are still a phenomenon, and KISS ist "just" a great band.

[Bgkgtjh]

Kiss is just not a great band. There is no other band like Kiss. The only band i know using makeup and special stage clothes is Twisted Sister and it's wrong to say they are on the same level as Kiss. Kiss also is a phenomenon. Their mystiqe, their enormous stage shows and ofcourse their music. There will never be a band like Kiss again and there will not be a band like The Beatles again either, even though, i think Kiss nearly was, not musicaly but by selling albums and gold records.

[JonicaPrep]

wait you said there not a great band but then you said all that good stuff about them...what's up with that?

[Bgkgtjh]

They are one of the best bands ever. But they are so much more than just a great band.

[ukraininoak]

They got all their ideas mainly from a band of which Paul & Gene originated from : New York Dolls. Of course they implimented their own characters !

[Bgkgtjh]

They got ALOT of their inspiration from Alice Cooper to. Their characters, the stage shows. They did go on a Alice Cooper concert in 1972 at Madison Square Garden and were blown away. Then they created four Alice Coopers with different characters =)

[ryantriple7]

KISS is the Michael Jackson of Rock N roll. the only difference is, THEY STILL LIVE.

[mr4978]

haha damn straight

[Bgkgtjh]

Kiss is The Beatles of hardrock!! I read that the brazilian police closed of the entire highway in Brazil just for Kiss - as they do for the president!! Today, Kiss owns the music!

[Rockospoogie]

A bit of a foolish statement however they were influenced by the Beatles as evidenced by their harmonies.

The greatest live act I have ever seen and I have seen very, very many live acts.

[Bgkgtjh]

Well...do you think there is better hardrock than Kiss?

[Rockospoogie]

Hard Rock? Yes, Led Zeppelin. Again, NO ONE can beat Kiss' stage show. I have seen a lot of acts and KISS is definitely the best on stage.

[Bgkgtjh]

Yeah so have i. I have seen bands like Judas Priest, Poison, Slayer, Def Leppard and many many more and Kiss kicked their asses with a huge boot!

[FrehleyFanatic1]

Yeah man there are some awesome hard rock bands and NO ONE can beat KISS in their stage shows, no one has and no one will, I see a lot of bands that get the sorts of things on their shos from KISS, like other bands drum solos use levitation, Peter Criss started that, I believe if it wasn't for KISS or their show, there would be so many bands and amazing guitar players that would have never exsited KISS ROCKS!!!

[TreyMoore92]

And they were influenced by Zepplin, too.

[Demoncurse123]

Led Zeppelin Influenced, and changed Many's Lives, especially with the Gibson Les Paul that You see Ace use there.

[kazar77]

And where is Led Zeppelin now? many of Led's songs are not worth listening!

[dreamarie34]

why are you dips making a big deal about it just enjoy the song will gees!

[Bgkgtjh]

Yeah they should include Firehouse on EVERY tour. It's one of their best songs.

[LarsetteUlrich]

ace is god

[Rockospoogie]

Not quite, that is Eric Clapton.

[guymanlington23]

try again... Eddie Van Halen is... and Hendrix... And Santana

[Bgkgtjh]

The best intro in the world

[frehley1086]

the most great guitar on the world

[AceFrehleyfan123]

Kiss the hottest band in the world.

[Linnets]

this tour was honestly the best they did when they started to wear make up again and they had the original band members!

[KissRules1961]

If anyone has seen the Kiss Coventry 1973 film clips of Cold Gin,Paul says they are all "Alcoholics" Gene sings it and in 2008 claims he has never drank any booze or done drugs?????????????Gene who are you trying to fool??????????I love ya brother but you were on something and if YOU werent you are a Hypocrit to bash Peter and Ace for it.You rode the train to fame when it suited you Gene and then dumped on Ace and Peter.

[KissRules1961]

Ya know so much is said here,but the bottom line in my opinion ( if it really matters) is...........Peter and Ace were perfect for Kiss,and they WERE.Some how or another Gene and Paul thought they were better than them.I love ya Gene and Paul,but dam the others you picked to replace Ace and Peter are 10x better than you both are and it doesnt sound right.Gene,Paul you are both trying to make Kiss "perfect"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rainbowschild]

I loved these guys before I moved to NYC and hung out with Andy Warhol and the Ramones.

[nd3018]

I would rather hear Ace hit a sour note than hear Tommy shread.

[2000man30]

i wish it was the original band back together, and they would put a new album out

KISS4EVER

[samirjordano]

kiss 4 ever

[internationalluver]

Too bad they didn't play this one in Helsinki, one of my favorites

[Inuyashafan5677]

This has to be my favorite KISS song ever well next to Detroit Rock City of course..anyways KISS is and will always be the greatest rock n roll band and no one will ever top them!ROCK ON KISS!!

[ledzep94]

damn wat i would do to see the original lineup... i was two during this tour

[racer500gp]

ledZep94, I was 36 in 1996 and had already seen them 12 times, all the way back to 1974 when they opened for Jo Jo Gunn at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

[Ivannator138]

ur 1 luck bastard

[trevor40]

Freakin awesome!!!!!!

[kashdiesel]

straight up butter

[machsixer]

hell yeah!!!!  Nothing better then this, THANK YOU KISS!!!!!!!!!!

[MNWildfan72]

Thanks, great post! I saw them numerous times when they came back in 96. Firehouse was always one of their best!
