I have loved KISS since I was about 2 and I vividly remember the time when this movie came out. I was about 4 and everything KISS was golden. I remember seeing this and The Donnas' cover of Strutter all the time on VH1 but I hadn't seen this video in like ten years so thank you for bringing back all those memories from my early childhood.
i love this cover but i hate how it builds you up for that guitar line (idk how to describe it, i hope you know which one im tlking about. its the most famous lick from this song) it just builds and builds until you think its gonna play but then it doesnt. love this tho.
Anyways, good cover, but the one thing that's missing is the awesome guitar lick. You can't bring up "The boys are back in town" without somebody air-guitaring that dual lead guitar lick that everybody knows. It's too important to leave out.
Well done cover. I must say I prefer the Thin Lizzy version better, but Alexakis' voice makes this song different, and interesting, making a very good remake. They also didn't change the tune of it so much that it sounds horrible. Usually remakes sound ultra-pop. Not this one.
I hate when people knock you for having an "Eclectic" taste in music, damn't some people are so dumb, sorry just venting here, cause someone called me a wussy cause i like bands like everclear well screw them cause everclear rules and they are NEVER going away! ; )
@gummoboy Why would somebody call you a wus for liking Everclear? I do not see them as a wussy band at all! Whoever said that needs to put a record on of theirs and give it a listen, otherwise they just sound fucking stupid.
@9reasy5am not electic. eclectic. its a term that basically means you have a broad taste in something. so someone who has an eclectic taste in music is someone that likes all different kinds of music.
@gummoboy Just remind them of all the one hit wonders they listened too, Everclear has been around for 20+ years now and are still going strong compared to other acts out there who were flash in the pans.
no thumbs down on that one, i do too, i mean all props goes to lizzy, but i still like this one better, also, i recognize that pornstar on gene's left leg i believe the one hugging it lol, only one i can recognize.
Phil always diversified into different music and was interested in fusing rock with other genres, so on that basis I think he would approve, anyway imitation is the highest form of flattery.
1.this is shit and if phil lynott ever cought these fools hed kill all them without breaking a sweat 2.this is for all the americans THIN LIZZY ARE IRISH 3.again this is shit
Well you know, the key difference between Everclear and Thin Lizzy is that for one, Thin Lizzy are Canadian I believe and also in a way if you look at it Everclear were paying a homage their way. Canada had Thin Lizzy as USA had Jimi Hendrix Experience. In the same fashion, Canada has Rush like USA has Blue Cheer and England has Cream. According to Father of Mine, Art of Everclear sang "it wasn't easy to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood." Being white, Blue Cheer is keepin' it real.
Movie was ok. But as I recall there was a character that was nothing more than a ripoff of Jay from Kevin Smith's movies. Seriously, the guy with the black cap and long hair. WTF! haha
there all dressed different at the end because thats showing how they normally are when there not in the movie cistumes. i mean c'mon, there not going to act and be exactly like there characters in real life, they were acting.
I love this movie!!!! I swear its my alll time Favorite!!! Everclear totally nailed this song and i don't think anyone could've done better (excet thin lizzy of course)
