gene simmons bass solo animalize tour 1984

[xXGrindhouse1971Xx]

I watched this on MTV Friday night Concerts

[dionysiac777]

This is a classic and killer solo. Loved it 25 years ago, and I love it now that I'm hearing it again. These guys kill any staduim they invade. Brilliant KISS!!!

[hansolo989]

Tabs pl0x

[genesimmonshere]

@hansolo989 i want myself.. if u get plz send me :D

[klistarf]

I have to have my say - Gene's 'Horror' solo's are fabulous, because it's NOT about virtuosity, but more about mood and spectacle. That works great! And within the realms of a song, Gene is a very creative bass player, and i just LOVE his playing!! But, this is just bad on so many levels... (:o)

[LORDGOAT1976]

He's still better then Bobby from Poison.

[drunkenmonkey64]

..... so when's the solo start?

[tony19977]

does anyone know where i can get the bass tabs for this

[genesimmonshere]

@tony19977 if u find out plz tell me because i would love to have them to :)

[kyusama347]

He's good. But I wish he did not use a pick

[dionysiac777]

@kyusama347 Pick or no pick, different effects are created by different styles. Very little metal/hard rock can acheive the attack on the bass that's needed without a pick. Pickless playing as a criteria is just silly elitism.

[Fett316]

I can't stand his tone >_<

[genesimmonshere]

@Fett316 I can't stand you.. fuck off if u don't like him!

[Fett316]

@genesimmonshere Why are you such a dick? Just don't like his tone. I can say that.

[genesimmonshere]

@Fett316 Because if u don't like him then why are u watching it ? 

[Fett316]

@genesimmonshere 1. I never said i didn't like him. 2. Because I can.

[tommy54214]

@Fett316

do us all a favor and fuck off

[Mlwtca]

How come Gene never wears his little yamika hat?

[AnotherRedDragon]

The best solo of him

[slimfchance1]

The good shit starts at 1:38.

[gigi876]

Who the said that Gene can't do a bass solo ? Now, you have the proof that he can do it ! Also , Gene with the God Of Thunder solo is entertaining the crowd , because "he was raised by the demons" , and he show us that at every Kiss show ! Long Live Gene , Long Live KISS !

[ioxido]

Gene Simmons is one of the most untalented musicians around!!!

[shdog2]

Dang wish i went to this concert

[eljoking]

the riff of intro sounds like a new world order of gamma ray xD copyyyyyyy

[sbohandley]

I think I will go check out John Entwistle of the Who for a REAL bass solo!

[maxi5033]

GENE SIMMONS GENIOOOOOOOOO

[ForceOnALeash]

that would make an awesome song in itself o.o

[Trey2148]

While it may not have exactly been a bass solo, it's still pretty cool... I think anyway.

[rahooligan]

Terrible bass player. No skill or talent of any kind. Someone who's been playing bass for 6 months could come up with better than this

[Follettopuck95]

Questi pezzi con il basso elettrico sono davvero molto coinvolgenti...poi suonati da Gene Simmons =))....non vedo l'ora di impararli.

[brothermikefan]

You gotta love the brilliantly executed "running while playing" technique.

[blooddimond472]

all you people are fucking retards! if you guys are sooo much better then gene simmons why arent you on stage ya fucking yahoos. and if you guys think gene sucks at base why the fuck are you watching this video

[thestick169]

god gene sucks

a total bass noob could play this

[AceFrehleyEricCarr]

true

[AceFrehleyEricCarr]

much better than crappy god of thunder bass solo wich consists of constantly hitting the e string

[genesimmonshere]

@AceFrehleyEricCarr the god of thunder solo is not really a solo more than a show where he is spitting blood

[dxartist]

John Entwistle can play better that this....an he's dead!!!!

[RockRiseAgain]

ahauhauhauahuh XD so right!

[OMNIDESTRUCTION]

More bass talent, less posturing. Bottom line, he's a competent bass player, but he's not "amazing" by any definition.

[racer2322]

i actually think that animalize was one of the better tours kiss ever had. this was the one best tour they had unmasked. ps. gene is the man!

[eptaeptaria]

just listen to the whole kiss dynasty album and you will understand how good and creative Gene is as a bass player....the fact that he doesnt play crazy solos doent mean tha he is a bad bass player...

[genesimmonshere]

@eptaeptaria exatly :D he rock

[DropD1993]

bass is all about taste in the end, as a bassist, I feel i dont need to give the rest of the band a 5 min break and have some light shine on me, talent doesnt boil down to that. i know im doing my job in the end. so i definitely support what your saying, at least some people understand.

[cenation2810]

@eptaeptaria If you listen to Dynasty, you'll also realise how little Gene gets in front of the mic in it.

[hatsan91]

Just because he's not playing solo, dosn't mean that he is a bad bassplayer. If you stupid douchebag kids stop listening to rihanna, akon and that sort of crap, and start listening to real music, you may learn something about all this.

Just fuckin listen to their songs! the basslines are fuckin awsome!!!

[genesimmonshere]

@hatsan91 finaly someone one who understant it

[merocket]

wtd does rihanna have to do with the fact that gene simmons sucks dick at everything and is an incompetent sell out.

[hatsan91]

merocket

Hey folks! Thats what im talking about! just another stupid douchebag kid who dont understand Rock N' Roll, but suporting crapmusic like rihanna!

If you just take my advice from my first comment, you will hopefully understand what im talking about, unless you are a completly retard!

[merocket]

i fucking hate rihanna and all pop music and shit on the radio, i was just saying your comparison makes no fucking sense...your a fucking retard like gene simmons is, you should grow up and listen to what i said, i love all the bands you mentioned but kiss sucks ass

[hatsan91]

You know what? there is absolutly no hope left for you. Your train left the station, (and you are not aboard) if you dont like kiss, you dont like rock/metal, thats what im saying! Because KISS has inspired so many other famous rockbands! They are gods among rockbands!

Conclution: You dont like KISS, and you are a fucking NONROCKER!!!!!!!!!!

jezzzzzzz...

[merocket]

lol congrats for the funniest comment of all time, kiss sucks ass and your to butthurt to accept it. i doubt you even listen to the other bands you listed lol, yeah i'm not a rock fan because "hatsan91" on youtube comments says i'm not OKAY BUD..sorry I prefer real music to shitty glam rock bullshit

[hatsan91]

@merocket Hahahahahahaha!!!

Not only are you a nonrocker, you are also gay!

hahahaha! Can this possibly get any worse?

i hope not, but if i were you, i would kept my mouth shut, so you dont screw up more than you already have. Hahahahaha

Enjoy Jonas brothers then, or as you call it "Real music" LOL

[merocket]

......when did i ever mention the jonas brothers....a schizophrenic and a homophobe..nice!

[hatsan91]

You mentions it all the time... when you are speaking, you nonrockin fag!

[merocket]

"you mentions it" stupid Norwegian fuck. learn to speak English before talking to me again.

[hatsan91]

Haha, i dont have time to talk you, you see

actually i dont have time to talk to nonrockers, fags, redards etc. And specially when they are from united kingdom

[SatanicalEve]

@hatsan91 Are you kidding me. His bass playing is simplistic at best and boring. Geddy Lee runs circles around him

[hatsan91]

@SatanicalEve

Yeah, geddy is the best, but this is not a solo. its a show. and as i said earlier, just because he's not a solo man, dosn't mean that he is a bad bassplayer. Try searching for "KISS - I was made for loving you", instead of " Kiss bass solo" and listen to the bassline. Still boring? than why are you wasting your time here?

[SatanicalEve]

@hatsan91 I have and its nothing to write home about. Gene Simmons is an average bassist on his best days. The Kiss Army would like you to believe Kiss has some real amazing talent. Truth is the band as a whole isn't that great. I don't mind nor do I care. Kiss is a good band to listen to when you are at a party or with friends. Never seen them live but they seem to put on a hell of a show. What they lack in overall skill they more than make up in the theatrics department/

[hatsan91]

@SatanicalEve

in your opinion perhaps. I think kiss is an amazing band with great songs and one of the most spetacular sceneshow the world ever seen. but im not saying that kiss is my favourite band. There are many bands like rush f.eks that plays technically amazing. kiss is not one of them, but it is something with their songs that are so catchy. perhaps you can compare them with acdc. they are playing simple as hell, but it dosn't have to be advancend to sound awsome

[SatanicalEve]

@hatsan91 Well I do think Ace Frehley is a hell of a guitarist. If that counts for anything. :D

[hatsan91]

@SatanicalEve

Yeah, i'll give you that one;-) He's hell of a guitarist:-D

[MrArneandre]

Gene is the most awesome guy on earth!

[genesimmonshere]

@MrArneandre he ROCK

[genesimmonshere]

no he is god damn cool

[davefan3]

he is such a fail

[scottslovegun]

and it sucks!
