KISS "War Machine", live in Detroit '84

[xhellonhighheels69x]

this version is so tight!! I saw them perform this number on the rock the nation tour- no offense to the current KISS lineup, but this version blows it out of the water

[lennon636]

Eric carr>peter criss,no dis respect to peter but eric is another level

[felipeslytherin1]

EPIC 0:27

[MedalofHonorPlayer1]

Perfekt.. Kiss kommt nach ACDC als beste Band

[jscottmatthews1]

wow...that was good... :)

[gustavalmius]

Genes vocals is spot on in this vid! Eric Carr is awesome too

[grantorino2009]

I own this concert video. I've watched it until the tape has worn out, but I never fail to be amazed by Carr's drumming. He was simply astounding. No wonder Gene and Paul revered him. As good as he is here, on Fits Like a Glove from this same show, he is maybe the BEST EVER. And Gene's vocals...absolutely perfect. This was a huge MTV concert and big comeback for them.

[MegaAzharIqbal]

thumbs up if you want Eric Carr Back,, Oh God i miss him so much :(

[KFXG]

I swear like half these views are from me.

[TheBashingBro]

I just noticed something, in the second verse of the song Gene messes up the words, its suppossed to be " tear down the voice of reason & let the arrows fly your freedom is just a state of mind" instead he repeats what he said in the first verse but I'll let it slide cuz this is a bit of a confusing song to sing & more importantly KISS RULES ! ! !

[shipthis2004]

@TheBashingBro Lyrics here all kinds of mixed up, still a rocking version though

[pyrodemon598]

i love genes voice in this song

and the drum intros fucking orgasmic

[Alejandrocc1994]

Eric Carr kicked asses.

[rickieingle101st]

ERIC CARR FREAKING ROCKS

[DTNS17]

wow! no make-up!

[jayhawx24]

Eric Carr is just the all around best drummer. He was pretty much ahead of the pack when it came to drumming. Plus he even sang. Why the hell don't drummers sing anymore?

[lirorose]

Great performance!

[luchog1100]

One Thanksgiving, it will be twenty years since Eric was taken from us. Light a candle in his memory. RIP Eric

[HellhammerSS]

Genes face at :24 is the best description of the main riff of this song.

[usuario9999999999999]

These guys looked like bitches! hahahahah But the song is good!

@THWOISYO nice

[TheBashingBro]

These guys don't look the same without their trademark makeup :(

[NickTheGuy93]

Eric Carr is so epic, we'd have to sacrifice 1,000,000,000 Justin Bieber's just to get one of Eric's big toes back...R.I.P. Eric Carr <3, Definitely my fave song off "Creatures of The Night" :D

[joonajax]

@NickTheGuy93 dude not cool

[NickTheGuy93]

@joonajax

How was that not cool? You'd rather have Justin Bieber than Eric Carr?

[joonajax]

@NickTheGuy93 im not saying that. im saying im not an a*shole that rathers has a toe than a human being. eric carr is still my favorite drummer ever, as for jb, i dont like his music, but that doesnt mean i want him dead. have some frikking dignity

[NickTheGuy93]

@joonajax

I have dignity believe me. I have an open mind too, and I know the comment comes across as a douchebag comment, but we have to be honest, the Justin Bieber thing has gotten way too out of hand. Music isn't what used to be.

[joonajax]

@NickTheGuy93 very true, but he just makes his music. its not his fault lots of people like it. but i still hate it when people wish to persons just because music that doent appeal to them

[joonajax]

@NickTheGuy93 very true, and its sad i think, but he just makes his own music. and just because it doesnt appeal to you, doesnt mean you wish him dead. i mean he still has a family and all. and if youre a KISS fan, just remember that when they started, they where also hated

[NickTheGuy93]

@joonajax

Yeah, you're right, never thought of it that way. I'll keep that in mind next time I go to comment.

[joonajax]

@NickTheGuy93 good for you :)

[powerpound14]

@NickTheGuy93

Damn Right R.I.P Eric

[xrocklover94]

@NickTheGuy93 nobody would have expressed that better!!

[sheikspace]

TAZ!

[x66girl]

Definitely a orgasm for the ears

[wouldntyoulike2know]

THOSE ARE MY PANTIES!!!!!

[Tommyr]

@wouldntyoulike2know But you're a GUY!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

@Tommyr No I am not a guy. I am a girl. Why the hell would you think I was a guy?

[buddya01]

I saw them the next night when they played the Civic Center in Saginaw, Michigan. My first show ever.

[69wakk]

AWESOME

[SuperWESLEY93]

This show Gene is looking to Gretchen.

Great performance!

[ROKFOREVER1]

I get so much hate for liking KISS

[Valdenight]

The major hunt of the Fox \../

[kronus98k]

this is a major reason, why the kiss face paint uses. LOL

[Sw4rtZ]

@kronus98k and what is the major reason, for you like yoda talk? lol

[kronus98k]

@Sw4rtZ Error! typing and attention only! LOL THANKS!

[Malibu41263]

They raised the key a step and picked up the pace for this live performance. A lot more energy and a lighter feel than the more recent performances such as Rock the Nation. Gene was at his very best here of the no-make up phase. Love this version.

[RiderOfTheGod]

@zombiecarol for eye too :D

[vugipie]

@zombiecarol Wouldn't that be an eargasm?

[AwesomeGamesShow]

Best version ever!

[twoofheartsxxx]

An activist's nightmare...I love it!

[MrCicca123]

Love this song!!

[shane69999]

who is this african band, wearing all the animal skin..... and who is that animal standing very tall with the bass guitar. this animal band give me idea to start my own animal band. My band will try to hump all the girls asses like wild animal. i want to call my animal band "hump"

[AceAlive2]

is this a mime with the audio being from the rio show?

[guitarace1965]

Compare Bruce's solo to Tommy's solo on Rock The Nation Live DVD (War Machine). Bruce blows Tommy off the planet!!

[AceAlive2]

@guitarace1965

lets see bruce play it on a les paul :)

[oOSpacekidOo]

who from you knows, that one of the two co-writer of this song was BRYAN ADAMS?

[ichkata97]

Bruce is awesome!

[sonicsteev]

rock n roll!!!!!!!!1

[MrHalloja]

All my favorite songs with kiss is when gene simmons sings

[OliverTerrible]

Très bon son !...

[jsquared5four]

i wish i wouldve been around to see eric car live peter cris can eat it, seen kiss 5 times never compared to the sound of this line-up

[ChuckGreen68]

@jsquared5four I don't know about "peter cris can eat it", but I've seen both the originals and this line-up, and I did definitely enjoy Paul/Gene/Bruce/Eric more.

[NicolasDouaud]

13 peeps better watch out, KISS is a WAR MACHINE !

[youtjalube]

@zombiecarol heargasm

[SenorPruebas]

What happened to da makeup?

[JordansGuitarCovers]

Ok, Bruce made an epic sound from 2:52 to 2:57...damn he is a great guitarist, with or with out KISS. But I'd have to say that their best shows were in the early 90's with Singer on drums.

[everybloodcounts]

eric carr is the best

[HannChann]

Gene looks pretty hot in this vid. I'm a HUGE KISS fan, but gene is my favorite member

[HannChann]

@southpink it's not a wig. He has never worn a wig. Anyways, this was a hot video. 3:26 dead sexy gene.

[Grundiis]

<3

[TheHockeyCentral]

What the fuck is with Gene's hair?!?!? 

[southplnk]

@TheHockeyCentral its a wig he cut it while filming the movie runaway

[KElektra75]

Eric u will always be in my heart like KISS best drummer...RIP**

[odgersfan83]

Love the u[p-tempo of this version. Less badass, but more fun.

[darthmeyers074]

WTF? CAN'T SOMEBODY FIND A CLIP OF THIS SONG WITH KISS IN THEIR ORIGINAL COSTUMES AND MAKEUP LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING?

[Decentez154]

@darthmeyers074 Eric Carr and Ace was in the band when kiss made this album (creatures in the night)

which comes with War Machine, so if u're looking for the real costumes, go ahead and watch Rock the Nation

with Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer

[southplnk]

@Decentez154 even better rio 1983

[Decentez154]

@southplnk Yeah, yeah, watch the clip/movie with the costumes that u like

[LORDGOAT1976]

Great line up after Ace and Peter.

[cert2000]

I'm a KISS fan for life (since the 70's) but Gene looks like a damn drag queen in this video. Eric Carr rules on the drums!!



[91joelt]

@cert2000 I'm not sure but I think he's wearing a wig in this video. I heard a story that he has to cut his hair coz he has to audition for a movie role at the time. I don't know. I'm not sure. Just heard.

[MrDantheman50325882]

why isnt this song on itunes!!! i love this version.

[perfectbenny]

r.i.p. eric from italy

[hellsbells056]

Gene Simmons is arrogant and vulgar.

But that is his thing, he can pull it off and his does it better than anyone else!

Kiss rules!!

[91joelt]

Do you guys agree that very few bassist can sing while playing bass at the same time?

[MyGicu]

@91joelt

No.

[deadheadmovies01]

real music better then that hardcore and hiphop shit teenager listen to

[AeroFix94]

@deadheadmovies01 I AGREE HARD ON THAT! P.S I am 16, but i LOVE OLD ROCK!! :)

[youtjalube]

@zombiecarol heargasm

[archangel385]

Gene Simmons looks a little bit like Elvis Presley.

[tehgreyyy]

lol they act like such idiots on stage. they should have gone into porn not rock and roll.



[AeroFix94]

@tehgreyyy what?? idiots on stage?

[gmoderX]

@tehgreyyy you better shut your god damn mouth until someone will kick your teeth down your troat and pee at your worthless corpse

[brnleague99]

Ever notice that the songs Gene sings on are the most bass heavy?

[gmoderX]

@brnleague99 Gene is brutal. Paul is romantic. exeption - we are one, doubt it was ever played life though =)

[zeppelin642]

One of my all time Favorite Kiss Songs

[Speros11]

whats up with genes hair

[kalisota]

@Speros11 In this era Gene cut his hair short for a movie role , I believe this is a wig he wore for this tour. But , I could be wrong ?

[DarkSideOTMoon1978]

@kalisota You're right. Said movie was Runaway, with Tom Selleck.

[mangajord]

@Speros11 It's called the 80's

[MissBelinda3675]

Gene actually has a very cute smile...:)

[kuriaki71]

magic era for kiss way better than that sonic boom crap, what a joke of a cd

[MrRocketSkates]

Can this be found on DVD anywhere?

[blitzedST]

@MrRocketSkates Yes but its not that common. took me awhile to find. Got mine from Amazon

[Darkangelrock92]

Gene <3

Paul <3

R.I.P Eric Carr

Kiss is the hottest band !!

[TheAntman1265]

God rest Eric but Peter was a much more musical and tasteful player. The man could swing!

[phillydude91]

@TheAntman1265 Peter played a bit better but Eric had the better beats and he was alot faster

[norwaydude6]

so fuckin good performence

[Blues4Winter]

I think it could be in fact the most rock and roll video on you tube, yes.

Brutal sounding!

[Luukablee]

peter

no offence

but youre raped by eric and eric

[83WC]

Is this possibly, THE most rock and roll video on youtube?

[91joelt]

@83WC could be

[max1997monoman]

definitely eric carr has more style than peter. anyway both are great at drums

[Blues4Winter]

Holy Crap this rocks tough top to bottom. What a lineup.And Song.

[itsglen9646]

Probably their heaviest song \m/

[sawiola55]

best version

[StanleyPubrik]

4:02 Where'd these panties come from? I don't knoooowwwwww.

[StanleyPubrik]

4:02 Where'd thesepanties come from? I don't knoooowwwwww.

[TheMasterwk]

Best KISS song ever in my opinion love when gene sings he rocks.

[acidbranden6516]

KISS OWNS ALL

[bellaedwardfan4evr]

i love kiss no matter who's in the band as long as Gene & Paul are there it really doesn't matter to me who takes the other to spots...Farewell is never Farewell when it comes to Kiss :)

[guyfromnb46]

PS...i think the upbeat tempo is much much better !!..(just my opinion).

[guyfromnb46]

i meant to sat "off"....not "of "...LOL.

[guyfromnb46]

gene and paul..pulled of the gimmick of all times.(they are very very talented),and buissness swavey...there will never ever be another pair of guys who can pull off what they have done.......hats off to you guys.....all the best !!!

[coreylayman1]

when i hear thunder in a severe storm... i think of none other than Eric Carr trying to be heard from the grave. R.I.P

[GamingDude1100]

R.I.P Eric Carr

[jayhawx24]

This is my opinion, but I do believe these four guys are the best set that KISS has ever seen. I understand that it isn't all original, but this is the group with the least amount of fighting and quarreling. If only Eric wouldn't have died....

[LTD280]

Pause at 50 seconds! HAHAHA

[Mssmaimone]

In Animalize, Gene smiled all that he hadn't smiled in past ten years.

[drewper73]

I agree with jEduardoj3rd. This is toooo fast!

[sk8rbrev]

or paul could be the indian ballerina!

[Mssmaimone]

Paul could be called Jumpman instead of Starchild...

[troutmask1970]

paul was cooler in the 70s and not so jumpy

[zcrunch]

They shoulda used this in the new Iron Man... ac/dc a little overrated I think...love the old stuff w/ bonn scott, not as much with the new stuff, the singer sounds constipated.

KISS FOREVER!!!!!!!

[Bpatch83]

@zcrunch agreed

[redsuxh8r]

You better watch out cuz Im a ca$h machine!!!! Anal cunt rendition. Dont get all offended. I love KISS and this song lol. Just wanted to point that out.

[jEduardoj3rd]

Waaaaaaaaaaay too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankenstein066]

Had this on VHS, having issues finding it on DVD.

Yes, one of the best !! (masked, or unmasked).

[GerkeFunky]

The Best War Machine Ever

[zcrunch]

Awsome Drum intro!!!...Awsome Bass Line....Great Growling Lyrics by the Demon!!! CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!!  Brings back Memories!!!

[kevykev38]

Gene looks like my Aunt Tom a little.

[Vatch1966]

This is off the ANIMALIZE LIVE UNCENSORED home video.

[Drixtu]

You can notice bruce from miles away, He got an awesome style, Not as awesome as Ace though <3

[NASCAR90]

way to fast!!!

[rainynights38]

I miss Eric Carr but I will always love Gene Simmons no matter what!!!

[NationalOrder]

Forget the costumes, this is one of the best live performances ever. Seriously. Gene, Paul, Bruce, and Eric are all awesome here.

[pockyssexdemon]

best performance of this song ive ever heard!

[whitbyjet65]

I saw them on this tour. I loved it but if I'm honest, I was disappointed they'd taken off the greasepaint.

[GOORVY]

the best version!!

[zcrunch]

THUMBS UP!!! BIG TIME!!!

[NEOGAii]

I was born into the wrong times :x

[brnleague99]

@NEOGAii Sometimes I wonder what it was like to be 18 years old in 1983-84.

[AeroFix94]

@brnleague99 my dad was :) he has listning to Black sabbath, kiss, metallica, iron madien,accept many more live :)

[brnleague99]

@AeroFix94 Your dad kicks ass.

[AeroFix94]

[MaddBadgerr]

@NEOGAii me too...except for gaming. then im in the ok times

[tonyaznar]

KISS

[Vaekkrinhart]

Sucks compared the album version

[rdt78]

[TheDeathMetal777]

THIS SONG BROUGHT ME TO KISS.......Gene is a War Machine!

[TheDeathMetal777]

eric carr is awesome........KISS RULES!

[GOORVY]

I would love to see Mark in concert with KISS

[GOORVY]

[walkintall7]
