  • @akissfan2000 You're welcome. And Happy New Year. Can't wait for the Monsters LP and tour coming up. Someone posted the Monsters stage on YouTube.

  • MERRY KISSMAS, EVERYBODY!

  • YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.....

  • Original Kiss + NYC = NOTHING BETTER! I was there the first night!

  • @Tommyr I went all 4 nights!!! Best time ever!!

  • fuck this looks like the early 70's god i miss those years

  • Saw them 6 times on this tour....was so great to see them having fun again.

  • I was there, it was magic!! Incredible.

  • was at this show.............

  • That was a great tour! They were really on fire. I was fortunate to have seen them on the third concert of that tour in Louisville, KY. and then again at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY later that Fall. They were fantastic! There's nothing like the original line-up.

  • I was at this show, 8th row back on the floor!

  • I HAD PLEASURE TO BE IN MILAND THE 16TH OF DECEMBER 1996 TO WATCH THEM: THE BEST SHOW EVER MADE !!!! THE BEST ROCK BAND thanks guys

    ACE,PETER,GENE,PAUL the other are only supporting actor....

  • Ace is God

  • One of the Greatest Rock N Roll Dreams realized. Kick ass Rock N Roll, undeniable hard work, and an absolute dedication to its fans and live audience. Shit, its no wonder they were such an enormous success.

  • Often criticized as being held up by props gimmicks and massive promotion the truth is its often overlooked that KISS cranked out some major kick ass ROCK N ROLL. And the impact it had on its live audience was incredible. Nothing like KISS energy. Listen to New York that night. Best live show I ever saw. Neck and neck with AC DC. Amazing energy. Brings something out of the crowd. And for f--k sakes get off the Gene Ace tragedy. It sucks but the history is there and business is business.

  • I want this consert on DVD! FUCKING LOVE IT!

  • Itz sad tat im jus a teen tat LOVES! KISS my fav band of all time. and i have no one to share tat with. :( all my family listens to hip hop nd pop and the always say KISS sucks nd there the devil . but o well i geuss im the one who listens to REAL music

  • @sisterA12345678

    You go girl!

    Check out as much as you can of the original lineup. Let's hope you get to see the original four someday (though doubtful). I saw the original lineup twice, once in 1975 and once in 2000.

    Keep Rockin' Sister!

  • Whether anyone wants to hear this or not, it was very apparent at the 'Farewell Tour' that Peter was incapable of playing at an acceptable. I say this sadly as he was the one who made me want to drum back in 1977. KISS only has a finite time left as a life act given their age. paul won't tour with peter or Ace and certainly had some tough things to say about Peter. If they get inducted into the R&R HOF, then that would probably be the final time you'll see the original 4 together.

  • @stevedrums - Is it Paul that refuses to work with Ace and Peter? I thought it was Gene that hated those 2 guys. What were the harsh words that Paul had for Peter?

  • @shimokita2 Paul will not work with Peter, but has been fairly flattering towards Ace in recent years. Gene once said in an interview that he "misses" Peter, but has been vocal in his feelings about Ace which include accusations of Ace having generally anti-semetic views.

  • @stevedrums - Thanks. I didn't know that Paul didn't like Peter. Gene has been pretty vocal about Ace and some of those videos are on here. I'm not a big fan of Gene Simmons, though. I think he's a classic narcissist.

  • This was the best line-up. They werent the same without the makeup.

  • @thefadetoblack12 I agree they weren't the same without the make-up but I liked Eric Carr in the band too. I can't bear Kiss today with Tommy & Eric Singer in Ace & Peter's make-up. It's SO wrong. I love Kiss but I stick to the early stuff.

  • @thefadetoblack12 Not the same with different guys in ace and peter's make-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • compares the gene voice in 1975 live is identical with the studio song versions in 1996 have a decaiment

  • Ace is the man

  • If original Kiss gets together for one last world tour, i PROMISE you, they will sell out every arena,stadium, anything, So Gene you money loving ass.  Think about it. Ace and Peter were the ones that brought the money in. Also id love to see original Kiss one more time :D and i know everybody wants it. Im sure Paul would be down and i know Ace and Peter will be down. So do it for your fans, We the KISS ARMY!

  • @lovestospooge646 I don't know if Ace would want to come back. From a lot of things I've heard he considers himself done with it.

  • @lovestospooge646 I have NOTHING against Eric and Tommy, but I would really like that.

    'KISS Farewell Forever ForReal World Tour'

    Ending show: Madison Square Garden, 21/12/2012 ;D

  • Where's the mistake? I don't see it.

  • @Remaanahk very 1st lead. and other parts. but in his defense the guitar is out of tune so he tried to make it work

  • @rizzlaxl Oh weird, I never heard it. o_o

  • @Remaanahk the worst is at 1:38.

  • man i see em at finsbury park in 96 and they fucking rocked!! !!!!!!!

  • I grew up with Kiss, they are one of my favorit bands. I went to Mexico City concert i 1997 with original Kiss (Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter). Wow, wonderful! Originals always will be originals. I want to see Kiss again, Ace and Peter have to return. Soon, Kiss will be 40 years, it is a good moment to reunion again. Think about it.

  • SO BITCHIN' !!!!

  • Isin't this in Detroit?

  • @Morrisvid209 no

    

  • Have any other bands sold out the Garden 4 nights in a row??? Anyone???

  • @slickback333 billy joel once did 12 nights there.

  • Ace making mistakes has become HIS thing. He's the only one that can make mistakes and look even cooler doing it! Ace is God!

  • @Frehleyacedude I'd rather see Ace make a few fuck-ups here and there than some step-up doppleganger any day!

  • @Frehleyacedude Keith Richards?

  • @Frehleyacedude Richards

  • @ajaxrules1975 I hear that!

  • wish when i went to see kiss ace and peter was their but it was still a good show. i dont doupt eric singer and tommy's music talent just dosent seem right with them in disguise

  • Loock guys why is the first album the album noone buyed?

    Deuce 100.000 Years Firehouse BlackDiamond Strutter Nothing to looseLet me know Kissin Time are all great songs so why noone has buyed the LP?

    Its because KISS gets famous because there have an show like Gods an they are Gods GODS OF ROCKN ROLL the best Rockband in the world forever KISS!

  • que mierda de baterista peter criss

    nose que le paso en ese tiempo

    en los 70 era una vestia

    en los 90 para tras

  • @ericsingerthemaster los años no pasan en vano...para Peter no al menos...mira Ace hasta el dia de hoy sigue increible

  • @andresc228 sii la verdad que si ace esta a full

    pero peter no esta tocando en niguna banda verdad?

    me confunde mucho peter

  • @ericsingerthemaster no pues Peter tuvo cancer y se curo y despues hizo el disco one for all...creo o fue al reves despues de hacer le disco le deteectaron el camcer pero la cosa es que ets abien y preprandon un nuevo disco segun tenia entendido un disco de rock...pero el ya no toca la bateria solo canta aunque ya no es lo mismo el catman ya no ruge...a Peter si le dio duro la edad y las drogas

  • @andresc228 ahh mira vss!! yo no sabia lo del cancer

    osea que esta igual qe eric carr lastima qe carr lamentablemente murio

    que en paz descanse

    che pero peter es verdad que le daba duro con las drogas

    en el 79 creo que lo corrieron de la banda x eso al igual que ace

    y entro eric carr y vinie vicent.

  • @ericsingerthemaster osea al Peter si lo votaron por drogo pero al Ace nadie lo voto el salio de KISS...contrario a lo que dicen Gene y Pual pero si los botan quedaban con partes de la empresa y Peter quedo con parte de la empresa por bsatantes años..es decir recivio ganancias por los discos de los 80s...Ace no el salio por su cuenta y el man no tanto a la droga mas bien al trago

  • @andresc228 ahh osea qe ace salio x qe sii no mass

    yo escuche qe lo corrieron por que chupaba mucho xD

    osea tomar y drogarse es lo mismo

    si tomas mucho te re pones en pedoo!!!!!!!!!!

    pero bueno jeje

    saludos Bro.oO

    veo qe sos un gran fan de kiss

    kiss forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ericsingerthemaster ni ace ni peter fueron despedidos de la banda, eso es algo ke tiene ke kedar klaro: la relacion entre los miembros era cada vez peor y por ello peter decidio seguir su carrera solista y lo mismo hizo ace unos años mas tarde

  • Real KISS Fans: Love The originals and accept the new members -.-

  • kiss rocks baby

    

  • kiss and metallica kick fuckin ass

  • excelente ACE!!!!!!!!

  • It's definitely not KISS without Ace and Peter.

  • Compare this to all live versions of KISS' current tour and you will hear this sounds somewhat horrible really. After 1977 Peter and Ace were always, let's say, sloppy.

  • @ajaxrules1975 I disagree.

  • @MATTIEBOYY88 Come on man, listen to Ace 's guitarsolo.

  • @ajaxrules1975 I DO NOT believe its as "horrible" and "terrible" as you say , yes not the best... (you shouldnt compare this to 1974-77) as it wouldnt be right , this is the reunion tour, first time in since 79 they been together , they're bound to be certain flaws... get real man

  • god, before i die, i wanna see KISS live, being asian and a 16 year old filipino sucks!!! really, its lame,

    but im still a huge KISS fan, KISS is the best!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't this taken from Kissology volume 3?? LOVE Kiss!!!

  • @oberfour if you wanna talk about polished up, Alive! is the most polished album they have. about 75% of that album was redone in the studio. Now i love KISS, my favorite band ever. but the fact is that Alive is not as "live" as people think.

  • @oberfour The Alive III version is better, and KISS has always been great. Sonic Boom is a great rock album.

  • Eric Singer and Thommy Thayer are also good!

  • I almost NEVER see Ace fuck up Gene (mistake every night) and Paul on the other hand......

  • I have to say: Of couse KISS is still great with Thommy and Eric SInger, but it ain't just the same...that incredible magic, that was there when the four Originals were on stage, is gone...in my mind they should have taken off the make-up again after the Farewell Tour and pick up things they drop after the Revenge Album...that would have made much more sense to me than to end as their own Cover Thing...

  • Can someone please answer this question. What happen to Gene's voice, did he just decide to sing by screaming and make growling noises one day or is it just shot from being around for so long. Around 1988 it started changing and he did not sound at all like what he did on the 70's records and by the Reunion tour he did not sound anything like 70's Gene. What happend?

  • @TheHappynot vocal cords thicken as you age, and he may have small nodules on them

  • hey all the people saying that KISS is not a band without ace and peter thats not true at least KISS is still around playing some rock and roll

  • this comes from KISSOLOGY 3 right ???

  • look all you fucking babies, ace and peter sold the rights to the make-up, that means paul and gene have control over it, ace and peter were drunks and drug addicts, peter can't play worth shit, he's old, plus they didn't want to tour anymore, so is the rest of the band suppose to just quit just because these 2 idiots can't get their shit together, cry me a fucken river, build a bridge then get the fuck over it, as long as their is an audience, there will be a KISS. So FUCK off.

  • All you kiss fans need to realize that isn't Tommy or Eric up there!! its those damn CLONES from kiss meets the phantom and they are just there to make gene richer. when gene passes away his son will throw on the make up and keep kiss going. it really don't matter who wears the make up the music is still gonna suck

  • Look, I'm a partisan member of the Ace camp, but this whole Ace/Tommy debate simply boils down to science vs art. While Tommy is argueably better at the "science" of guitar playing, Ace has mastered the "art" of being a rock god. That is why Original Four shows have an intangible magic and the current overly-produced shows have a sterile feel.... meaning they're so polished it almost doesn't feel like rock and roll.

  • Touring with the impostors in the catman and Spaceman make-up is the tackiest thing gene and Paul could ever do!

  • I hope I get the opportunity to see the original line up before I die.

    That would be a wish come true. I've seen KISS for the first time last year.

    It blew my fucking mind. It was simply amazing.

  • @twoo57 or before they die XD

  • @twoo57 same problem here, you are also just a little teenager of the ae of 16 :(?

  • This was when Kiss was Kiss. Today they're just a shitty coverband. Without Ace and Peter there's no Kiss. Not only was Ace the coolest of the members, but he was also the most talented one and he made Kiss to the hottest band in the world!

    I also FUCKING HATE how Tommy imitates Ace. I mean, why not come up with your own make-up and costume rather than trying to be someone you're not.. Not to mention that he fucking sucks at trying to look like Ace.

  • To ALL YOU DUMASSES who are too YOUNG to remember the ORIGINAL Kiss..ACE was the ONLY Musician To Begin with....Gene is SHIT on BASS...ACE...Like MICK MARS of Motley, GAVE them their SOUND that MADE Them the "Hottest BAND in the LAND"....Tommy Thayer only IMITATES and he is a POSER,having the nerve to don ACE'S makeup...

  • @eric59ful yer man plus thayer cant touch ace, he sounds stale and allways buggers up hes a bad imitation

  • Yikes, Ace....

  • u guys all smoke rocks. tommy thayer is technically a much better player than Ace.... not to mention tommy wears underwear... do we really need to see Ace's JUNK in his drawers?

  • ace's playing is fucking awfull, fucking terrible..all those who say its not kiss with out ace or peter, FUCK THE LOT OF YA !!!!! kiss alive 35 was the biggest tour they ever did in europe and south america, and thats with out ace and peter... we the real kiss army dont need you fake fans who wine and complain.kiss are still around and that is what mattersif you dont like that then STIFF SHIT !!!!!! ace after 1978 sucks, and peter always sucked, worse drummer to ever call himself proffesional

  • @mammo8369 Actually, the highest overall grossing tour was the Reunion Tour. That's a well known fact. KISS made the most money from the Reunion.

  • I love Ace to death but his playing during the reunion tours was awful. Embarrassing. We all know that he can play his ass off so I dont know what happened during those shows. I know that he was banned from drinking and drugs. It was in his contract with Gene and Paul but....I also know that he was sneaking in booze. I know somebody that got to party with him in Boston on this tour. I guess thats why he was replaced.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't give a damn on who is better or not, they just kick ass and play some good rock n roll!!!

  • lol the guy at 5:01 doesn't care. KISS rules!

  • we are luck they are still playing. We know no one was is better than 70' Ace but Ace cant even do Ace. Im an Ace fan but Thommy does a good job to try and mimic him. So get over it.

  • Frankly, I don't care if Ace makes a mistake, everyone does, it's called a live show, and there is no other Ace, but Ace, period. Without Ace and Peter, there is no Kiss but a wanna-be kiss. (notice lower-case k) And argue?... What's to argue, I grew up on these guys, I didn't just start listening yesterday, so I feel I've a right to what I feel about them. Gene and Paul need to work things out with Ace and Peter and do one last US tour, then I'd take my boys to see them, or no Kiss for me.

  • tommy is good but by a small fraction, I prefer ACE FREHLEY (THE GOD OF OUTER SPACE)!!!

  • @corpsegrider666

    Tommy is in the Kiss cover band.

  • If "KISStory" proved one thing over the years, it's proved that ANYTHING is possible with these guys!

    We haven't seen the last of the original lineup!!!!!

  • @sinnuh i hope you are right!

  • @PatrickONB

    Ace was still drinking then but he is clean now.

  • @PatrickONB the only problem is that Gene is perfectly happy with Tommy Kissfan (yes the affectionatly call him that in the band) on guitar. Gene likes having his ass kissed and Tommy Weasled his way into the band. Hes not a bad guitar player but he markets himself as Ace, plays his solos etc. If they still wanted the spaceman then the shoulda kept the real deal. I would rather see Tommy doing his own thing instead of being an Ace wannabe

  • @PatrickONB dude

    hes making an alot of mistakes this concert ;)

  • @PatrickONB It will never happen , They may come to a truths , but you will never see them get together for any kind of tour... peter is getting over the cancer ordeal... and ace is enjoying his very successful solo career ...

  • @PatrickONB I'm with you man. I've been a fan since 1975. There is NO kiss without Peter and ACE.

  • @PatrickONB Not only that...Ace can make mistakes on those lycs because they are HIS. Where was Thayer or anybody else when this song was recorded?

  • @PatrickONB I care if Ace makes mistakes. In the 70s, he was my favorite. Now? I don't need him. He's the drunk uncle that people like you always make excuses for. "Well, yeah, he's drunk and an asshole, but he'll sober up." No, he won't. Ace hasn't been a contributing member of KISS since 1976. Frankly, he spent about 2 years in the band, then Bob Kulick became the guitar player. Oh, and Ace quit...TWICE. He's right where he need sto be...playing bars.

  • @grantorino2009 I never made excuses for Ace, you did and are. I frankly don't care if he's drunk or high and making mistakes, he's still better when he's making mistakes than anyone else could every be trying to make believe they're him. Just because you can play someone elses licks and wear their makeup, don't make you that person or any better than that person. What it makes you is a fake! Play your own riffs then I might have more respect for you. Now go make your excuses somewhere else!

  • @PatrickONB can't they work things out with Ace but not Peter, Eric Singer is soooooooooooooooooo much a better drummer and vocalist. but i agree with the Ace-Tommy thing, ACE IS DA MAN!!!!

  • @PatrickONB hell yeah i'm with you on that dude

  • Oh My God...even in a Reunion Tour video people still arguing about the Ace-Tommy shit...I can understand the guys who post comments in the actual Kiss videos saying that Ace is better,but it's just unbelievable to read comments saying that Tommy is better than Ace in the Reunion Tour videos...Tommy is Ace's replacement and that's it,no need to argue more about this

  • Feel the heat of Kiss!

  • man,I'm just freaked out coz I've just seen that someone said that Tommy plays just like Ace or even better...WTF??,are you kiddin'?,that's not right,Ace is much better an MUSICALLY,I think that Anomaly is better than Sonic Boom,Ace has always been the best musician of Kiss,anyways I do agree that Eric Singer is better than Peter Criss(nowadays)like someone said actual Kiss is just for younger generations,it's miles away from Kiss at the 70's

  • no way!! Tommy Thayer is way better than Ace!! Tommy could play Ace's parts way better than Ace

    and if you dont belive me well then just look at all the live shows with Ace and then the shows with Tommy, and i guarentee you that Tommy plays all of Ace's parts better than Ace plays them

  • well,that's funny,are you telling me that a cover guitar player can play a guitar part better that the guitarist that wrote the song???

  • no because he RE-TEACHED him how to play it coz he forgot them...

  • yeah but I have to remind you that they are HIS solos and he can do whatever the fuck he wants to them,I love Tommy,he's an awesome guitar player but he is still Ace's replacement

  • yeah. but it is HIS parts. Ace improves live. Everyone fucking knows this.

  • Come on!!! I´m sorry but if Tommy wants to be taken seriously from fans who are more interested in the music and not only the marketing of KISS, he´ll have to come up with his own makeup, his own costume, his trademark sound and licks, a few classic songs like "Shock Me"... and maybe then we could start considering him as good replacement for a real guitar hero..

  • agree with you...but it's more than the playing! ace plays with a real heart for KISS...and remember that tommy just copying ace partes,,ACE WROTH ALL OF THEM!!!

  • Maybe, now think about this, it's cause Ace wanted to improvise as he has as a solo artist for 20 years but new Gene n Paul would get pissed, it would be very very very hard to struggle against instinct, would def throw you off a bit.

  • you right pal

    nice way to put the point across lol

  • Nah, after about 3 weeks into the reunion, when I saw em 1st, they had tightened up alot from this show, which was probably right after Tiger Stadium, and they killed this show too damnit!

  • I loved the original band also and have been a KISS fan since they started, however, you got to move on. Eric and Tommy are much better musically. Someone mentioned style of play. I can tell you Tommy plays exactly like Ace, except a lot better. Fact is Ace, and especially Peter just didn't have the chops to play any longer. I've seen this a ton with every member. This current lineup is the best. I saw Ace in Omaha awhile back and he was bad. Sonic Boom rocks. KISS is STILL awesome!

  • ....there, right at 3:35...that primal power unleashed is KISS! No matter how hard Thayer/Singer try, they will never capture that spine tingling thrill of ACE/PETER/GENE/PAUL...KISS!

  • To true followers---- It will NEVER be Kiss without Ace and Peter -- only a show for the younger generation

  • @NaplesQueen Amen to that. You can never, ever replace the raw energy and power of the original line up. Ace said it himself 'It's still Kiss, but a watered down version'. Well said, ACE!

  • @NaplesQueen A freaking MEN!

  • @NaplesQueen TRUE! But you forgot Eric Carr who was also great 1980-1991 RIP!

  • @NaplesQueen SHUT UP!!!! Ace chose to leave, hes better off on his own and i dont care what ANYONE says, PETER CRISS SUCKS!!! He wrote Beth, thats the only significant contribution he made to KISS!! Tommy and Eric r doing just as good, if not better, in their places. Sonic Boom was an AWESOME album, and with it out, u haters should just shut up and give respect. If Eric Carr was still alive, it would be Gene, Paul, Eric, and Bruce and NO ONE WOULD BE COMPLAINING!!!THIS IS THE NEW KISS, LET IT GO

  • @NaplesQueen the originals are great, but look at those solo's that ace play on the reuniun tour its awfull, be happy that he didt go solo, or he would suck more and more and more, he just cant play with kiss, because he cant be hisself you get me? ( i love ace )

  • @NaplesQueen So you're saying guys like Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick didn't matter? I love the original line-up, and Ace is my all time favorite guitarist, but don't disregard the contributions of others, especially Eric Carr, who was honestly the best drummer KISS ever had.

  • @NaplesQueen Lol, opinion.

  • @NaplesQueen i like kiss now!

  • Ace was the only one who looked they had not aged.

  • Hey Glitch, can't you tell when a band's gone tribute? Without Ace the guitar is lame. Without Peter the same with the drums. It's called STYLE OF PLAY. I've been a KISS fan since '75 and I've played guitar and drums since then and I'll tell you, it's not the music that sells KISS anymore. It's the show - commercialization. So, in light of the facts, you shut up. You're too stupid to be heard.

  • seen the boys over 20 times since 1973 ,Toronto,Canada...they just LOVE us Canucks,always have ,always will,we have the cash and we fucking spend it lovers....

    Gemma

  • I care...Because KISS is ACE ,PETER, PAUL AND GENE! Whatever they did in the 80's without makeup is fine. But I in no way condone dressing up the hired guns in ACE and PETERS makeup/outfits!

  • Get the fuck over it, everyone acts like it's a huge deal, Tommy is an amazing guitarist, and isn't fucked up when he is on stage. And Eric can beat the shit out of his drums. Peter and Ace were good, but they are not in the band, so shut the fuck up about it.

  • hahahahaha at 1:05 Simons does a slide on his guitar and knocks some of his picks off the mic stand

  • At this show too. Just the best. Nothing beats Kiss at MSG.

  • I have all four of these shows on bootleg video .... absolutely incredible. I still can't decide which night was the best.

  • What a pleasure to see Ace here....he was in great form. I think almost everyone agrees Ace is the heart and soul of the group. Without Ace, it just ain't KISS.

  • Hillarious that Ace's Album is a hundred times better then the crap Kiss just put out.

  • look at 3:35, they fail, the BEST BAND also can have mistakes

  • how? they didn't fail

  • @yutuubfreak yes they do, i think, look at 1:38 Ace plays something rare, and if you look at 3:35, Gene and Ace goes in different directions but i still thinking that the real KISS is Ace, Peter Gene and Paul

  • @1990hardrock haha ace....

  • sounds like he says 'get up and get your camera out of here'

  • lmao it does

  • I saw them in sydney on this tour. There is no comparing them to this.....and the cabaret act they are now

  • I was at this concert!!!!!!!!!!

  • What brand of drums did Peter used on the first reunion tour because it sounded awfully plastic?

  • Those are Pearls.

  • Saw them a few weeks ago, they opened with this song while being lowered from the rafters. It was insane! Best concert of my life no doubt!

  • No C, KISS played 2 shows at the Toronto Casino a few days after the race...got backstage passes the whole deal lover...

    Take care,

    Gemma
