KISS 2008 - Alive 35 - GENE'S ELEVATION!!! [HIGH QUALITY]

[saintrobbie375]

You would never watch "Family Jewels" and know that its Gene playing with Kiss. His stage persona is worlds away. He is so mild and laid back on the show.

[slickback333]

@saintrobbie375 absolutely, I couldn't believe it when i first saw KISS live, he was a pig on stage lol (or a demon). Jirating, air humping, spiting drooling, pretending to jack off in front of girls in the first row (who were like "yeahhhh"). It was awesome watching him lol. he's the man.

[Flickerstruck]

Uh oh..... I hear that whistling guy again.

[pfootball43]

Didn't he get stuck here and freak out, then Paul calmed the crowd with shandi? I saw that on KISSTERIA

[Darkhelmetxt]

I agree Ace is Better than Tommy only because he was an original member if Kiss. Tommy is otherwise better than Ace because Tommy never gets drunk or stoned so much he misses shows like Ace. I Love Ace with my Heart But if he was still in the band the performances would be horrible. Ace even agrees with that he said so himself on Live Radio.

[TRD1964]

I WANT THOSE BOOTS!

[carlguitar69]

Gene is still a great entertainer after all these years....he knows the value of spectacle...a true legend.

[JimFullington1]

@mausca61 @mausca61 well, i hate to dissapoint you, but it is evident that kiss HAVE actually been going for the past 8 years without ace? or is that just me?

[JimFullington1]

@mausca61 @mausca61 well, i hate to dissapoint you, but it is evident that kiss HAVE actually been going for the past 8 years without ace? or is that just me?

[Herpsteen]

I want GOD OF THUNDER in the setlist for the 2010 world tour. Whoever wants GOD OF THUNDER, LET ME HEAR YOU! I WANT GOD OF THUNDER! I'M THE LORD OF THE WASTELANDS A MODERN DAY MAN OF STEEL I GATHER DARKNESS TO PLEASE ME I COMAND YOU TO KNEEL BEFORE THE... GOD OF THUNDER! AND ROCK AND ROLL This is want the fans want, not "I love it Loud", we want... GOD OF THUNDER PLEASE COMEMENT IF YOU WANT GOD OF THUNDER!

[yanksfan32398]

some screamo band opened up for kiss in milwaukee

[samblacklabrador]

@yanksfan32398 takin dawn supported kiss on uk sonic boom tour they were shit , kiss were awesome

[carlguitar69]

@samblacklabrador Yeah they were really average.....below average.....

[smartpantsclub]

I love it loud is now the song they do when he flies.

[yanksfan32398]

nobody can make fun of gene simmons. he is the god of rock! if anybody tries to make fun of him or his music, i will shove that keyboard up your ass!

[balgord]

lolololol 1:52 WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU !

[lovegunfreak1977]

yoo adrastos64 shut the fuck up pussy gene simmons is the shit if i ever hear tht kind of shit again ill beat u the fuck up!

[mgirardi1]

he can fit into character man..... haha

[Adrastos64]

Half ass bass playing. Any retard could do that.

[mgirardi1]

its not supposed to be amazing. Like hollywood said, its supposed to be dark, and remember he actually played guitar in love gun, so he's not a bad guitarist at all.

[N00b1g]

GENE GENE GENE GENE GENE GENE GENE \m/ o.0 \m/

[Hollywood7779]

Gene's bass solos are sometimes Haunting! That are scary and it really does sound as if demons were just crawling out of a black hole. GENE IS GOD!!

[BlackDiamond1967]

Just went to the show last two nights ago, they kicked ass!

[mausca61]

gene is a good actor, but ace is rock, no ace no music, no ace no spaceman, no ace no kiss.

[JimFullington1]

@mausca61 well, i ahte to dissapoint you, but it is evident that kiss HAVE actually been going for the past 8 years without ace? or is that just me?

[JimFullington1]

@mausca61 @mausca61 well, i hate to dissapoint you, but it is evident that kiss HAVE actually been going for the past 8 years without ace? or is that just me?

[rgraz620]

i saw them today in milwaukee

they played i love it loud

they really needed to play god of thunder

[Herpsteen]

exactly! If they're going to get higer fan base at concerts, they will have to play god of thunder. Gene can't survive a tour without playing it at least once. Yes, ever since 1976, "God of Thunder" has been played on every tour.

[Perro2c]

why god of thunder? in alive 35 should be i love it loud!

[AngelofAnguish]

Got good news for you. Unless there's a "last minute change" in the setlist, Kiss DO perform I Love It Loud. They'll perform it during the "encore" part (of the show). In my opinion, a Kiss show JUST ISN'T a Kiss show WITHOUT God of Thunder. Even though I've loved Kiss since 1979, and saw them twice during their reunion tour and saw their so-called "Farewell" tour, looks like I won't be going to this show. By the way, couldn't Kiss have picked a better band to open the show? I mean, Buckcherry?!

[lovetodance]

Are you kidding me? Buckcherry is a GREAT band! I'm 40 not 20 and have been following them for a very long time. Personally, I think Buckcherry will be awesome! Can't wait to see them in December!

[NarutoUzimaki159]

@AngelofAnguish the opening acts are never really that good. the only one i've ever liked was Daughtry opening for Bon Jovi. compared to the others I've seen, Buckcherry wasn't all that bad

[carlguitar69]

@NarutoUzimaki159 Back in the day I saw Ratt open for Ozzy and the next week Cheap Trick open for Ozzy...that was cool....1986 or somethin....

[NarutoUzimaki159]

@carlguitar69 that's pretty sick

[VideoDivaProductions]

oh yea...

[joeravencrow]

hell boys , im 40 yrs old and been goin to kiss concerts since the 70 s ........ met gene finaly back in 2003 at a private party he had in NYC...........of course the original line up is my fave....... never could get used to eric and tommy in ace and peters make up but................whatever...­.....

[PhilHotPandesal]

Oh Yeeeaaaahhh?!

\m/

[kissfreak94]

[danielvasquezponce]

[Takksom]

[gusfachini]

Animaaaal... KISS... April in Brazil!!!

[GlamRockNR0LL]

Gene Gene Gene Gene Gene!

[Beamoxc]

i don't really care i don't want gene and paul to retire until i have a chance to see them live in concert. i'm only 16 and i might only have one chance so quit putting KISS down for trying to keep the music alive! if you are a true fan you should support your band in something like this!!

[UpInSmokeHq]

I know how you fell dude. Im 18 and most of my faviourte bands have either retired or are dead. But i seen kiss on this tour at download festival 2008 and they rocked the joint! Truely awesome show, a must see dude!

[tauren224]

I'll write it up on my "Things to do before I die" list :) Gene is awesome!

[Herpsteen]

@UpInSmokeHq

did Gene do "I love it Loud" or the legendary

"GOD OF THUNDER"

[sonicfreak12]

I really wish i couldnt brag, but Im 14 and ive seen 3 kiss concerts.

[mightytechnodeity]

asshole...lmao....nah i'm 30 and seen them twice on stage...and was lucky enough to meet them all in person 3 times

[wasabian69]

i went to this concert it was fucking awsome

[AceofKISSMAS]

Ace = waaay better than Tommy.

[manbareapig123]

@AceofKISSMAS i agree

[Rush1212]

Shittest bass solo ever

[carlguitar69]

Well he can hardly compete with Geddy Lee Mr Rush1212 but its not about being an amazing bass player its about being evil and creating a nice dark vibe. Ps Rush love KISS....

[HawkwindMaster]

Damn right man! That was weak!

[marcomarock]

Shittest comentary ever

[stlwc]

big deal all fairy's can fly

[SoundOfAShark]

i saw this live it was so badass!

[Eric12h44]

wow they havn't changed at all

[AceofKISSMAS]

Xcept Tommy sucks compared to Ace. Its true.

[applerules2003]

omg.. i saw this.. it was fucking amazing!

[slashjoelsalmeron]

jbourneidentity3769 fuck that podo

they need the original members

Kiss would not been anywhere without out ace

he was the last to join and complete the foursome, fuck gene, he's the reason Ace left

They need peter too

[unrealfmx888]

His Elevation was better at Sturgis, it seemed faster and smoother

[Hannitysgay]

This sucks!! Fieldy KICKS ASS!!!

[HBKshowstopper935]

riiiiight

[calspeed30]

I'm going to the Las Vegas show on August 29th and I hope and pray that they do God of Thunder. That is my favorite KISS song ever. (Cold Gin's up there tied with God of Thunder!) _\,,/ ROCK ON! \,,/_

[fpsa01]

Ace rocks!!! His solo album was damn good too. A very talented musician.

[vortexape]

i miss ace

[HazzaBeasa]

Saw this at DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL, was amazing

[jbourneidentity3769]

Most people who post on KISS videos always have something smart-ass to say about Ace being gone or Gene's greed. Fact: Ace doesn't want to be in the band, so shutup. Two, Gene gives a TON of money to worthy charities for kids and visits wounded soldiers in hospitals, something Ace's drunk ass has never done. Why? Because then it wouldn't be about Ace, which is all he wants. Get over Ace, wankers. He's right where he wants to be...playing half-full bars.

[TheDareDevil7]

not without ACE what if gene fell...

[fledengo]

His bass playing is awesome! He`s the master of four strings! AND he can fly!!! I have goosebumps all over my skin!

[nicotavo]

Thunder god

[dave4377]

I went to Donington park they played I love it loud after the blood came from his mouth, not Lick It up as welsh boy said

[kaiba34]

i went to the one in Sofia in Bulgaria but they did "I love it loud" after the bass solo!WHY ?!?

[welshboy202]

i went to the one in donington park in England but they did "lick it up" after the blood come from his mouth and i went to see them on friday 13th :P

[Saxi01]

It was my best night of my life yesterday in Denamrk!

[stampe100]

[Exciter1000]

[Dizzwald]

I saw them yesterday

munich/GERMANY

it was amaaaaaaaazing :]

[finrockdude]

i cant wait to see them in helsinki 27.5 my hands are shaking already! KISS is ultimate band!

[Whitestone66]

I was at the Grand Prix with my daughter , she was the same age I was when I first saw the Great Rock Kings live.She knows that no show will ever live up to that night. If you where actually there.....you would be smiling just thinking about it. They never dissapoint ,but it's a "you have to be there" kind of thing.Maybe it's just that Aussies rock just as much as KISS do?

[libewar]

well it may be borin for you lucky people but imagine us who have never seen them before...we'll see them in greece for the first time in history and their old show and songs are exactly what we want to see and hear

[highVoltage1969]

What do I want? Er, nothing in particular, just making an observation really. I've been a fan since 82 and this stunt has run it's course as has the band, any idiot can see that. Thanks for your thought provoking comment though. Much appreciated. Yours Sincerely, dicklickinpussy (Mr)

PS: By the way, It's "What would you like?" not "What do you want?" You may find that some people find the latter a little aggressive.

[highVoltage1969]

how did he do that? Is he really flying? Seriously though that looked fucking great in 1980, 28 years on it looks a bit silly watching a big fat lump being pulled into the lighting rig. Boring, snore, get off, NEXT!

[onkelkonkel123]

What the fuck do you want ? dont talk shit about kiss you dicklickinpussy .

[krevice]

wow,i've never seen that before

[RokDAWG1]

Does anybody else remember when they used to play with fire in their souls?

[Arkfool]

Gene's gotta do that in Sweden !!!!! He's the God of Thunder !!!!!

[SailorJim38]

I wish they would play different songs. It has been basically the same set list even since the reunion show. A couple of songs here and there but the US tours are basically all the same.

[elbataquero]

Im so sorry for say this but Kiss needs more ideas to innovate the show,Kiss was a huge rock band but its torning boring,they across the world several times more than billions of people seen live on stage,its time to gene to recapitulate the years and find"that thing"to take Kiss to the next level,the actual era,even theStones domore and variate the show every time.Kiss is the reason N°1 to me to see,eat,hear anddo rock,they need some research and development office LONG LIFE AND RESPETC TO KISS

[sagedrummer]

This was cool 10 years ago, it was cool 8 years ago, but now it is just tired!!! Come on KISS, lets see some innovation in the stage show. It has essentially remained the same since the reunion tour. In the seventies, the show got better every year. I want to see Gene do something revolutionary, hell I want to see the entire show revamped!!

[ross242]

Looks like it's feeding time for the demon!

[kissvanhalenacdcrule]

Why is Gene being lifted to his platform so goddamn slow?

[sholstein]

That cable just barely pulled Gene up there!

[FutCaDracu]

i`m going 2 see them in Dessel,Belgium it will be fucking IT !!!!!!!!

[stoney364]

ROCK N' ROLL FOREVER!!!

you fucker!

[FatManBatman]

podoz your fucking unbelieavabley funny haha

stop messing with podoz people

Gene is only fat cause he has kids

hes old

and his costume is freakin bigger than him

anyways that was a funny commet god of blubber

[4897313]

Ya.. I see your point to all this..KISS is still a good band but you seen them better back in the day..alright..Peace to you to man

[podoz]

i feel sorry for those cables, they're gonna snap one day if you don't loose a few pounds Gene! God of Blubber!

[4897313]

Hay fuck off man!...your probly a fat guy sitting on your computer insulting good fucking bands!..if you can do better ( wich is impossible )I'll lay off ya..but all Bets say that you cant do anything worth Shit!

[podoz]

oooh.. hit a nerve there did i?? I didn't insult a good band, i just stated the obvious. I've been a kiss fan for over 30 years and reserve the right to poke fun at them when it's due. It's good nostalgia but i stopped taking them seriously a long time ago. By the way, they stopped taking themselves seriously a long time ago too.... except for the business side that is.

[4897313]

well I guess your not a real KISS fan eh...Well that doesnt matter cause there is already hundreds of millions of them!

[podoz]

Well the definition of a 'real kiss fan' is highly debateable, i don't doubt i'm not a fan by your definition, and i'm certainly not the fan i once was, but they certainly aren't the band they once were either...as i said, it's just nostalgia now. Peace bro

[vadude68]

Time for a new album, this 10 year old tour is getting weak.

[3aw77]

I saw them in 1996 in Melbourne and its the same act

[reindeerride]

All you so called satanic wannabe bands!This´s how it´s done! This is evil and I like it!

[Marzkis]

How cool was this elevate of Gene's, unfortunately he only went up about 20 feet in Wellington due to strong winds! But hey...they just rocked the shit out of the capital :)

[guivarela]

muito bommmmmm

[thecrowf1]

I love you a lot!!! please come with me again. I can´t live without you. Maggie and Pet forever...

[guidlines]

Thanks for putting these videos up mate. I was there on the left side of the stage. I also saw 'em in Sydney 2 nights ago. I really like the quality of the sound in these. You must've have one of those big furry things over the mike to stop the distortion, considering how close you were.

[fedepf07]

es un genio...

[cazfortune]

They are filming ROCK2WGTN tonight ,LORDI, ALICE COOPER ,KISS, pluss all of WETA workshop shit, then WHITESNAKE ,POISON, and OZZY, put that in your pipe and smoke it, fuck i,ll be there

[HardRockFinlandia]

tuchot, thank you!

[worshipcarr]

they sound so tight now!

[ANGUSisgod666]

I went last night in Sydney! Fucking amazing!

[bozzo68]

Hey jromanovich, u are right!!! Elvis fan & KISS fan, you have some inside info that most people would love to have!

[Necramoniumvideo]

i really hope they are gonna make a new concert dvd of this tour,could be their last big world tour...

[alexpiss]

hahaha, as if! Gene will go on...

[RichPyke]

of course they will. They're Kiss! They video and sell everything they can!

[Accept91]

Probably my favourite act of the show along with Black Diamond.

[mitheminer]

i saw them in brisbane and they were awesom!

[cucucillo]

Got my ticket to see them in Bilbao june 21st!!!!!!

[gfrkiss]

i live in England and i have my tickets for Vienna and Paris ..I also have tickets for Belgrade and Sofia waiting for me when i get there ...theres also the English show...! I have seen them 24 times including the Marquee in London (1988-500 people!)Keep on KISSING!! i will see all my mates there ..from Mad Mark..in London.xx

[RippingFleshFromBone]

This video is fantastic! Wish all the stuff on YouTube was this quality. Slowly begining to look forward to the European shows with a bit more optimism! 5 booked so far...! Old alligence's die hard. Still the best songs... but the magic has gone for me. ACE hits the UK in 3 weeks...YEAH!!!!!!!

[mustainerules666]

Got my ticket to see them in Bilbao june 21st!!!!!!

[JimmahChan]

In Brisbane tonight/last night the harness screwed up so they had to lower Gene back down before he made it up to the platform :(. The show still kicked absaloute ass though!

[kitzkatish]

that concert kicked-ass!

[traumatized85]

Tommys got nothing on ace, peter on the other hand, eric was a good choice

[sulfilodelrasoio]

spam

[panakattack]

did his wing break off?

[jvflexx]

someone said they can't hear the guitars? u my friend are deaf!

[jvflexx]

someone said they can't hear the guitars? u my friend are deaf!

[hermandad69]

Sounds great!!! Thommy and Eric makes the sound of KISS a much stronger! Sorry Ace and Peter, you are still legends, but KISS lives on, even whitout you.

Can't wait for may. KISS in Europe

[saschavs]

Yeah, I'm going to see them in Germany and maybe in Belgium

[RippingFleshFromBone]

How can they make KISS stronger when all they are doing is copying Ace & Peter in every way, from what they play to how they look? Eric is a far better drummer than he is playin here but for some reason he is even using the same drum set up as Peter! Let him play with 2 bass drums. THAT would make KISS stronger!! Can't even be bothered to comment on Tommy. Might as well have an ACE cardboard cutout on stage and play ACE's parts on a backing tape. Sick.

[jromanovich]

Eric has a double kick pedal on a single bass drum.

[RippingFleshFromBone]

Hey iromanovich! While it is hard to tell on here, I sure as hell can't hear it!! All I can make out is simple single bass drum pattern, on all the posts on here so far. If anyone can hear anything different...

[jromanovich]

I would agree though that he does, dumb up his playing when wearing the Catman outfit.

[lukeyboy20]

i was in the middle front

[tuchot]

Man! Turn your volumen UP! First minute is all Gene's bass!!! He's talking to the crowd using only his bass!!!

[BBBNY]

I know..But listen! Cant even hear the bass or the rhythm guitar during the song, compare it to other performances of this song and you'll know what i mean

[BBBNY]

What's up with the sound? I can't even hear Genes bass or Pauls guitar...
