Kiss - Detroit Rock City (studio version 1999)

[cakestalker]

This is the version used in the movie Detroit Rock City.

[grubeci]

I was like seven when this stuff came out..and it was different than disco and the beattles and Barry Manilow.

[blackbuilding]

@grubeci Of course it had to be different than all of them, cuz those were the early days of Heavy-Metal music although Gene has never refused being influenced by the Beatles (he's said he loved their music since the 60's and we have to remember they did a proto-metal song called "Helter-Skelter" in 1968); another stuff which surely sounded different in those days was the Punk-Rock made by bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols even they weren't as popular as KISS and Disco music were then.

[Deleanredtiger]

I think that was a live version.

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

@Deleanredtiger This is a studio song, fake audience :P Used for the detroit rock city movie

[97CRISTIAND]

genial

[n2112bytor2112p]

0:13- was a concert ever recorded with this makeup?

0:18- what song was the double neck used in?

0:46- wheres his makeup??

[d3m0nrg54]

@n2112bytor2112p not sure about the other questions, but at 0:13 that was Paul Stanley's bandit makeup he only used for a month or two in 1974 after Kiss was signed to Casablanca, Paul hated it so he switched back to the Starchild. My best guess for 0:46 would be maybe it's him recording in the studio.

[smoothcriminal268]

@n2112bytor2112p mmkay, 0:13, as answered already, Paul used the bandit makeup for a short time only before switch back to the Starchild. 0:18 the double neck was used during I BELIEVE Rock Bottom during the Reunion Tour, I'm not too sure on that. and 0:46, that is either a recording session or a soundcheck from the 70's

[wildmetal16]

you've never listened a studio song right? ¬¬?

[theShaun228]

space ace has the dullest faces while playing a ripping solo , i dont get how he does it

[VFBBONJOVI1]

thats a live version, used in the same named movie

[technotyu]

This isn't the studio version dumbass.

[naoaceitanenhumnome]

is this the Movie Version?

[vfgjhj]

Where'd you find the pic of Gene in an angel costume??????

[Uzumymw898]

lol at Gene's shoes.

[vespargh]

Man, does anyone knows what is that make up in paul stanley at 0:13?

[foxman123456789]

@vespargh yeah its the bandit make p it lasted for one show in the 70s

[01artist]

I have a video called KISS the lost footage and KISS are playing Detroit rock City wearing the KISS Alive uniforms. I didn't think that KISS wrote Detroit before Destroyer? It looks like KISS at Cobo Hall during the Alive Concert. Does anyone know about this?

[WINFIELD120]

destroyer was released on march 15 1976.....they went on their first european tour with the kiss alive costumes. april may 76. Then when they got back to the states and wore the new costumes. Look for detroit rock city in germany on here. youll see what I mean

[johnes96]

thats the movie version not the studio

and you cut it at 3:46 there throws "Peter Criss" his drumstick -_- bad luck for you

[Bgkgtjh]

0:33 is that Will Smith?

[CADZILLA3]

Australia 1980 is the best version.

[whataheck10]

agreed!

[strutter0812]

No way, Alive III and Alive II versions rule!!!

[WINFIELD120]

ace paul gene peter = MAGIC

eric paul gene tommy = DOG SHIT

[anguzyoung80]

Eric was still a good drummer though!

[01artist]

You must not have seen them in Minneapolis in November 2009? Eric and Thommy left Ace and Peter in the dust. No offence to Ace and Peter but they are so far away from KISS and their style has changed tomuch. Eric and Thommy are single handely keeping KISS alive. Gene said in an interview that if Ace and Peter has to be replaced he couldn't think of anyone else but Eric and Thommy.. I love Ace and Peter like family but KISS rocks now more than ever.

[HollywoodBigBoss]

I liked the double bass sound better. Not to mention the vocals were more to speed of the studio version. I also liked Alive 4 as well with Detroit Rock City being played with the Melbourne Symphony. That one wasn't too bad either. However I have always hated Double Platinum for cutting down the song as well as tampering with the original vocals.

[HollywoodBigBoss]

I disagree. Alive 3 had the best version of the song. Alive 2 they played too fast and made the song sound poor. Best studio version I've heard is the original one.

[bazou136]

I prefer the live version :)

[EILIVdrummer]

You could pick a better version....

[FreakOfTheDay666]

This is taken from the grande finale scene of the movie Detroit Rock City from 1999!!! The kids made it to the show in the end etc. Check it out and compare...

[xsannyx]

[Acefrehleykiss1]

good job man im a huge ace frehley and kiss fan 5/5 on video

[caiogalo10]

from the movie

[romeokid69]

Not studio.....stop fooling people

[Leevo1987]

That's not true. The damn albums were live, only parts were re-done.

[spike14501]

It is true. All were fakes. Watch the old videos from the 70s & 80s.

[MatalAceMan]

actually Leevo is right the live albums were recorded at different concerts for ALIVE! and ALIVE II. except on ALIVE II Hard Luck Woman and Tomorrow And Tonight were recorded in studio and mixed in. In ALIVE III, I Still Love You and I Was Made For Loving You were recorded in studio. Everything else were recorded from the actual ALIVE III concert.

[listenbich]

So what you are saying is Kiss cheated on those albums.

[MatalAceMan]

what? no. how the hell is that cheating?

im saying that most of the live material was actually recorded. only about 2 songs were re-recorded in the studio. everything else was recorded at actual concerts. except on ALIVE III everything except I Was Made For Loving You and I Still Love You were recorded at Detroit on the same night in 1992

[listenbich]

Any band that re records songs in the studio & adds crowd noise, then packages it as a live album is cheating. Otherwise it should be a greatest hits album.

[MatalAceMan]

well KISS didnt re record all of their songs. you dont get it do you

[listenbich]

It doesn't matter if it's one or all. You obviously don't get it. If you like fake live albums that's your business.

[MatalAceMan]

ive been a fan since i was 4 fucking years old dont tell me i dont get something cuz i know KISS more than you do! you dont get it. even if it is fake who gives the shit it still kicks ass. truth is, its KISS and KISS is NOT fake.

[listenbich]

At last you admit it. It's fake. Fake as Gene & Paul's hair. Go cry to someone else about it.

[insaneclownicp]

there not as fake as listenbich

[spike14501]

Not as fake as a cock sucker like you!
