@younandotube666 I agree - sonic boom sounds more like sonic bust. Psycho circus barely had enough good songs. Paul's solo album sounds like a weak part two to his 78 solo album. Gene's last solo sucked big time. They are out of ideas, they have put on the same concert since 98. They just play shows to line their pockets and as for Ace's replacement - who gave the ok for that loser to wear Ace's make up? Oh yea, Gene. Who is so far out of touch form reality it is no longer funny
The Stones still do concerts and they are as old (if not older) then KISS. Helloooo...when people get older their vocal cords change thus their voices change. Nobody sounds like they did when they were 20-30 when they are 60-65. Perhaps when you grow up you'll understand that.
@RevkahJC I agree-to an extent. HOWEVER, in my opinion, KISS and the Rolling Stones play TOTALLY DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC. Yes, it's "rock music," IN GENERAL, BUT, in my opinion, KISS play "HEAVY rock" or "metal" and the Rolling Stones play "TRADITIONAL rock." In my opinion, KISS' music has a "heavier" or "harder" edge to it. Since Ace and Peter are NOT in KISS, I hope KISS REALLY DO "CALL IT QUITS!" In my opinion, their music sounds REALLY slow and SOUND NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINALS!
@AngelofAnguish I agree that KISS now sounds very different to the KISS of the 70's. When you remove original members from any band it changes the tone and sound. With the Stones, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have been the lead singers for over 44 years. In KISS the fact that two of their key singers are gone DOES make a difference to the sound. My point was more that as singers age their vocal chords change.
Saw them in 78, Detroit, Michigan. I was 14, haha ditched school to go to the concert. Haha and nailed some chick. Then got grounded for the rest of the year. Ahhh best night of my life.
Saw them LIVE in 1977 - Pittsburgh Civic Arena - I was 13 - Got grounded for a month but it was worth it - The best Rock and Roll I've ever experienced - and I've seen many bands after that!
i remember buying the kiss alive II album when i was about 12 .....my parents freaked out !!!!! kiss was mild compared to the stuff that comes out now,but they were a little scary then.....i loved that album !!!!!!!!
@ChazISaCrueHead Glad you enjoyed my work. Do you mind if I take you with me? After all, a 31 year old such as yourself whom needs to go around attacking people much younger then themselves .. must be a sever mentally ill person or just a very sad little puppy.
The "surprise" mentioned in the Kiss Alive II ad? Temporary tattoos! I thought I was such a bad-ass wearing a different one on my hand every day to school for like two weeks :p
I was a big Kiss fan when these albums came out, but never saw these commercials! I do remember these albums being like a box of cereal... a toy surprise inside every album.. a paper "pop-gun" in the Love Gun album, Stickers in the Rock and Roll Over album (the design of the front of the album cover), and temporary tatoos in the Alive 2 albums! Too funny!

Kiss sucked in the 70's and they still do! Zeppelin, Sabbath, Rush, even Judas Priest and Grand Funk had way more talent. Kiss was just a merchandise moving vehicle that used "music" to appeal to kids! Lame.
@dpeab11370 Dude you had a good thing going until you hit Grand Funk. That was the biggest hype machine ever. If it had all been based on the band and the music you would never know the name GFR.
@cranie4 gotta give GFR props bro! An American made power Trio that rocked hard. What they lacked in talent they made up for with lots of emotion and energy on stage. Gotta admit they were WAY better than KISS. No where near the level of the others i mention, but still.....WAY better than KISS.
@dpeab11370 So we're sure we're comparing apples to apples. GFR and Kiss, both "American made". You say GFR strength was onstage. I submit that most of the early Kiss studio albums were very weak and produced poorly...in other words good songs but lousy albums. However when you combined those songs live with the onstage show, THAT was the whole package. No way GFR was going to touch Kiss in that respect.
@cranie4 If you were into that kind of thing i guess! The over the top theatrics take too much away from the music. It was a spectacle for sure, but i've always liked music for music's sake. I'd take KISS singing Detroit Rock City in denim and without the theatrics. All the make-up did was market them to posers and children who probably didn't really get the music anyway.
@dpeab11370 When I finally SAW Kiss it all made sense. It was a grand scale theatrical production. The music was the soundtrack to the show. Whenever I hear the music I remember that part of the show. No other group is like that.
@cranie4 John Entwistle is the reason I too am a bass player. I also happen to share a birthday with him. I met KISS in '79, first show of the Dynasty tour in Lakeland, FL. Without the makeup they're just like everybody else. What I love about KISS is that they bust their collective asses to put on a great show. Never been to a bad KISS concert. Old school KISS was, in it's day, phenomenal...but maybe they should go ahead and let it end. That's what they should call it...The Goodbye KISS Tour!
@Thunderfingers999 Entwistle, Squire...all the lead bass players are my favs. I remember Kiss in 79. They jumped on the disco bandwagon (I Was Made For Loving You) although "Hard Times" is my favorite Ace tune. They knew enough when Peter left and later Ace to NOT put someone in that makeup. Replace with a new character. But now that Gene owns the Catman and Spaceman guess it doesn't matter :( But I saw them twice in the late 90's and they still had it. But they should stop now. Definitely.
@cranie4 NO WAY IN THE WORLD SHOULD THEY STOP...I DEF DO AGREE THEY SHOULDVE PUT THE OTHER 2 IN ACE'S AND PETERS MAKE UP...BUT AS A GROUP THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF THEM SLOWING DOWN OR GETTING OLD IN GENERAL...TRUST ME ON THAT I SAW THEM 13 TIMES IN CONCERT,AND THE LAST 2 TIMES I SAW THEM THEY WERE BETTER THAN EVER.... NO BAND IN THE WORLD AIMS 2 PLEASE OR PUTS ON A BETTER SHOW THAN THESE GUYS......NO ONE...
@bgj150 They should stop. You think they are doing it for you? Maybe back in the day but now it's all about the $. I saw them 3 times during the reunion tours and the first show was AMAZING.... and by the third time around (After Paul's Phantom gig) they were tired and his voice was shot. It was LESS than the best show they've put on and that's NOT what they were originally about. It was them going through the motions.
The best KISS stuff was the first albums up through KISS Alive II. After that they started to go downhill. Now KISS is just sad, only Gene & Paul with Tommy Thayer from Black 'n' Blue and Eric Singer from Badlands and Sabbath. They're just a way for Gene to sell merchandise. The original lineup on the late '90s reunion tour was good, but somehow dated. The first 8 albums were truly great, but the band was at its best when they were fresh and new, not just to sell Gene's reality show.
U just hate kiss cuz they kick ass there the best fucking rock band gene would kick ur balls rite now if he saw u write shit like that about him and the other guys @wmichswigers u stupid Fuckhead motherfucker who obiously has a bad taste in fucking music
@wmichswingers go fuck ur self kiss did ur mom and she loved it they ain't no Satan group there just guys who rock and roll serously grow some balls u stupid fuck
I remember growing up as a young kid in the 70's KISS use to scare the shit out of me with their costumes, and I was always afriad of the guy who blew fire out of his mouth, but as I got older, I became a huge fan! KISS ROCKS!
Gotta love that Love Gun cover. They painted Gene as though he were this enormous muscle bound super hero when the reality was that he was always borderline fat with his huge ass hanging out of his spandex. Great marketing scheme though. I was a kid when they released Kiss Alive 2 and I bought right into all the BS
I was born in 1969 this tour was 79 I was ten years old what a great birthday present my mother and father gave me..I remember it like it was yesterday.I see 2 different reunion tours too ,Kiss made me what I am as an individual today ,LOL go figure..
@SpaceAceify i met ace in a Chinese restaurant in greenburg NY. he was very gracious and even invited the friend i was with to a guitar workshop he was holding in manhattan. very cool and down to earth guy.
@SpaceAceify what makes you think he is a loser, sounds like you have been listening to gene simmons, and don't get me wrong, i love him along with all the kiss memebers, but we have to remember that nobody has the right to judge or put down anyone, and if it happens, they always regret it at some point in time, just look on celebrity net worth, his hard work has paid off and his new album is really good
These commercials make every other commercial for any product look stupid. I want to punch other commercials in the face and I want to use these KISS commercials as the fist.
@YeshuaHamashiach777 1973 and that's ALL kids talked about in school? Not Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Tull, The Who, Sabbath, etc...? you must have gone to a real secluded school
@sixsixxsixxxx That plus KISS didn't take off for real until 1975 with the "live" album. They were pretty obscure till the live version of "Rock & Roll All Nite" in late '75, then the band just exploded. In '73, the bands you named absolutely ruled, and you could also throw in Grand Funk, The Doobie Brothers (they were still a rock band then), Alice Cooper & David Bowie as well.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sad to say, they were my very first live rock experience when I was 16, in 1976, when I didn't know any better. Wish I could say it was David Bowie, or the Ramones, or someone worthwhile, but no, it was this. Embarrasing
Well I'll grant you redemption..It's a widely known fact that a LOT of guitarists that came afterwards were directly inspired by Ace and he created a ton of classic licks that are still used today. Besides..you could do a lot worse than saying Kiss was your first show..it could have been ABBA
@cranie4 I like Ace (sorta Kiss fan here) but saying that a "lot of guitarists who came after him were directly inspired by him"? Maybe to be a "rock star" and be cool on stage and all that but not as a player..Ace was a nice guy and great showman but he was just a basic rock guitarist...
@sixsixxsixxxx You focused on the wrong part. "he created a ton of classic licks" is the important part. He was the basis for a lot of guitarists learning those licks and they are all still used today. He WAS a basic rock guitarist, the kind most everything else after it is built on.
WHats the point in fighting about when the glory years were. Kiss were awsome all throughout thier entire carrer. if you cant see that then dont bother. Kiss rule and thats all that matters on this video
The thing about Kiss..is while they're just avg band in reguards to talent and music.But they wayyy over "MAKE UP" for it in their live shows.They are probably 80% show & 20 % music.I'm sure the band would tell ya the same.
HEY DICK-(lol)Problem is,I do know alot about music.Guys(or girls) like yourself are so caught up in bing a fan.You can't see nothing else.Guess what...even Stanley made a simular statement.
are you fucking serious? you are a fuckin' fanboy. the only thing decent after frehley left the band was the song 'war machine' which came out in 82 so you don't even get credit for that since you insist KISS's glory years are from 83 - 94.
I'm not saying that those years are the years of glory, but they made awesome records with awesome tunes, like hot in the shade and revenge, also musically speaking they reach their peak in 1992 as musicians and stage act, just because you had your Kiss doll in the 70's and your mommy put your zandwiches in your Kiss lunch box does'nt mean that was the better time they had . and If you disagree with this I dont care, go fuck yourself
liveup5, i hear your passion and i agree that R&RO is a stellar record, but i can give you a few reasons why DESTROYER is a better album.
1) the production. bob ezrin did an amazing job on this and it took kiss to another level.
2) the songs. the one two punch of 'detroit rock city / king of the nighttime world' opens this album like no other kiss record. (accept alive two!) and the other blistering numbers make this the most band for the buck (minus the super gay 'beth' that is.)
I was 6 years old when Kiss alive came out ,it ruled my world back then. Whenever a comercial came on or I seen them in a magazine I was electrified! They were superheros to me. I would stare at the album artwork for hours. thanx for posting these great vids!
I know what you mean dude, and I am young (well 21 is young haha) nowadays with all the paparazzi and lousy album covers etc etc I can understand how big KISS was in the 70's, BTW I love 'em :)
You are 100% right in everything you wrote. Oh man, you would get that new issue of "Rolling Stone" or "Creem" or "Crawdaddy" and spend hours reading every word and going over the photos. That was how you got your news about your favorite bands and if they were on the cover, then it was so much better. The concerts were such a big deal too. It was exciting when a band came to town. You'd know at least a month in advance before tickets would go on sale so you could save up. So much fun.
@dickravis Not really-rock and roll in the 70's was great and really crappy like any other musical era...you can have an emotional attachment to your youth and nostalgia and that's great but that doesn't mean it's actually what happened or the way it happened. People from the 50's (your parents in the 70's) had short hair, dug Elvis and Little Richard and thought 70's rock were a bunch of long-haired, screaming, talentless drug addicts who were "corrupting" youth...was it true? of course not
@sixsixxsixxxx I was born in 1963 and your right, people do have an emotional attachment to their past good or bad and that tends to color their objectivity particularly about music because its allways attached to a memory of a time or event in our past and as humans we tend to romanticise the past to quote Billy Joel the good old days werent allways good and tomorows not s bad as it seems. that said if you can wade through the trash u canfind gems thers just More trash out there today!!!!
i was born in 69. it was awsome. Kiss was huge. I collected the bubble gum cards. I had all the albums. And when kiss meets the phantom of the park made its debute on tv, it was better than star wars. Well, at least to an 8 year old kid. (and then of course dynasty came out. All down hill from there.) Destroyer was my first album. Alive 2 was my fav. I just loved those temporary tatoos that came with it. ahh the memories. Why do we have to get old. If only we could go back just for a day.
phantom of the park was 10,000 times WAY Better than the Star Wars christmas/holiday special from '78. I'm glad I was too young for that torture. Met Gene once and got a xerox of their 1978 comic book signed in silver ink.
I was born in 79, an grew up in Colombia, SA. There was such a mistique around KISS while I was growing up in the 80's, and the cathoilic schools were all like the PMRC. It was kinda revolutionary to listen to KISS... I wish I had grown up in the 70's in the US, just to see KISS live and at their best, woth Ace kicking ass! KISS and all those great bands: Sabbath, Lizzy, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Creedence, ACDC, are the only thing worth listening to now... most stuff nowadays sucks, except for TOOL. !
@blowmehard666 Rot...Nivana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, NIN, Avenge Sevenfold, Metallica, STP, Korn, System of a Down....plenty of great rock music from the past 20 years if you'd open your ears and stop mythologizing the past...but I do agree that Tool are amazing
this is always kool for me to watch kiss commercials for the movies n albums even tho i was born in 1991 im stuck in the 70s n 80s n always kool hearing from my dad how the 70s n 80s where n when this album came n shit n it makes me wish i grew up in the 70s n 80s
@alfengard don't let your parents and other 40 somethings sell you on the myth...there was plenty wrong with the 70's including music and plenty right today including music...don't let them corrupt your open mind because they are older
this is always kool for me to watch kiss commercials for the movies n albums even tho i was born in 1991 im stuck in the 70s n 80s n always kool hearing from my dad how the 70s n 80s where n when this album came n shit n it makes me wish i grew up in the 70s n 80s
OH HELL YEAH!!!! those bring back great memories,,,i have all those albums and still have the sticker that came in the rock an roll over album still together never took it apart, and all the posters....ROCK ON KISS !!
New KISS has no balls... No power, no good solos, no good rhythms... KISS Sonic Boom is weak, no real good song, just two old men playing...

@SpaceAceify i met ace in a Chinese restaurant in greenburg NY. he was very gracious and even invited the friend i was with to a guitar workshop he was holding in manhattan. very cool and down to earth guy.

@SpaceAceify what makes you think he is a loser, sounds like you have been listening to gene simmons, and don't get me wrong, i love him along with all the kiss memebers, but we have to remember that nobody has the right to judge or put down anyone, and if it happens, they always regret it at some point in time, just look on celebrity net worth, his hard work has paid off and his new album is really good

@sixsixxsixxxx That plus KISS didn't take off for real until 1975 with the "live" album. They were pretty obscure till the live version of "Rock & Roll All Nite" in late '75, then the band just exploded. In '73, the bands you named absolutely ruled, and you could also throw in Grand Funk, The Doobie Brothers (they were still a rock band then), Alice Cooper & David Bowie as well.

Sad to say, they were my very first live rock experience when I was 16, in 1976, when I didn't know any better. Wish I could say it was David Bowie, or the Ramones, or someone worthwhile, but no, it was this. Embarrasing

Well I'll grant you redemption..It's a widely known fact that a LOT of guitarists that came afterwards were directly inspired by Ace and he created a ton of classic licks that are still used today. Besides..you could do a lot worse than saying Kiss was your first show..it could have been ABBA

@cranie4 I like Ace (sorta Kiss fan here) but saying that a "lot of guitarists who came after him were directly inspired by him"? Maybe to be a "rock star" and be cool on stage and all that but not as a player..Ace was a nice guy and great showman but he was just a basic rock guitarist...

@sixsixxsixxxx You focused on the wrong part. "he created a ton of classic licks" is the important part. He was the basis for a lot of guitarists learning those licks and they are all still used today. He WAS a basic rock guitarist, the kind most everything else after it is built on.

The thing about Kiss..is while they're just avg band in reguards to talent and music.But they wayyy over "MAKE UP" for it in their live shows.They are probably 80% show & 20 % music.I'm sure the band would tell ya the same.
Wayneman117 2 years ago
wayne, you don't know much about music, huh?
seems like you've been blinded by the spectacle and haven't really listened to the first 6 records.
it's completely bad-ass rock and roll. if the music had sucked or worse yet, just been 'average', the army would have never got off the ground.
it's only rock and roll, but it's fuckin' great.
go throw LOVE GUN on the turntable and tell me it's an average rock record.

show me the quote where paul stanley even thinks about downplaying the bands talent.
i'm not saying they were each stellar musicians, but as a unit, they created great rock and roll records.
i'm not caught up in being a fan - i'm the guy saying that the records after dynasty kinda suck, so you can't have it both ways.
and if you want to take the podium and criticize me, learn some fucking basic english.

carlosace55 2 years ago
are you fucking serious? you are a fuckin' fanboy. the only thing decent after frehley left the band was the song 'war machine' which came out in 82 so you don't even get credit for that since you insist KISS's glory years are from 83 - 94.
eat a dick. you're clueless.
dickravis 2 years ago
I'm not saying that those years are the years of glory, but they made awesome records with awesome tunes, like hot in the shade and revenge, also musically speaking they reach their peak in 1992 as musicians and stage act, just because you had your Kiss doll in the 70's and your mommy put your zandwiches in your Kiss lunch box does'nt mean that was the better time they had . and If you disagree with this I dont care, go fuck yourself
carlosace55 2 years ago
if 1992 was their peak, why didn't they do a 'hot in the shade era kiss' reunion tour?
it's because they were irrelevant by that time.
the band that helped pioneer american hard rock in the 70's was a joke in the 80's and early 90's.
it was only when they decided to get frehley and peter criss back on board that people gave a shit again.
but now that ace and peter are out again the band is doing smaller and smaller gigs. why?
ps, i'll fuck myself when i'm done fucking your mom.

liveup5 2 years ago 3
liveup5, i hear your passion and i agree that R&RO is a stellar record, but i can give you a few reasons why DESTROYER is a better album.
1) the production. bob ezrin did an amazing job on this and it took kiss to another level.
2) the songs. the one two punch of 'detroit rock city / king of the nighttime world' opens this album like no other kiss record. (accept alive two!) and the other blistering numbers make this the most band for the buck (minus the super gay 'beth' that is.)
3) the cover.

I was 6 years old when Kiss alive came out ,it ruled my world back then. Whenever a comercial came on or I seen them in a magazine I was electrified! They were superheros to me. I would stare at the album artwork for hours. thanx for posting these great vids!

i could waste the next half of my life telling young people how great rock and roll was in the 70's.
- waiting to read about your favorite band in a monthly magazine.
- bands put out a record every 8-12 months.
- vinyl fucking albums with artwork you could look at for endless hours.
- you RARELY saw kiss on TV. we can all count the times they appeared and remember where we where when it aired.
...and now it's all ass backwards.

You are 100% right in everything you wrote. Oh man, you would get that new issue of "Rolling Stone" or "Creem" or "Crawdaddy" and spend hours reading every word and going over the photos. That was how you got your news about your favorite bands and if they were on the cover, then it was so much better. The concerts were such a big deal too. It was exciting when a band came to town. You'd know at least a month in advance before tickets would go on sale so you could save up. So much fun.

@dickravis Not really-rock and roll in the 70's was great and really crappy like any other musical era...you can have an emotional attachment to your youth and nostalgia and that's great but that doesn't mean it's actually what happened or the way it happened. People from the 50's (your parents in the 70's) had short hair, dug Elvis and Little Richard and thought 70's rock were a bunch of long-haired, screaming, talentless drug addicts who were "corrupting" youth...was it true? of course not

@sixsixxsixxxx I was born in 1963 and your right, people do have an emotional attachment to their past good or bad and that tends to color their objectivity particularly about music because its allways attached to a memory of a time or event in our past and as humans we tend to romanticise the past to quote Billy Joel the good old days werent allways good and tomorows not s bad as it seems. that said if you can wade through the trash u canfind gems thers just More trash out there today!!!!

i was born in 69. it was awsome. Kiss was huge. I collected the bubble gum cards. I had all the albums. And when kiss meets the phantom of the park made its debute on tv, it was better than star wars. Well, at least to an 8 year old kid. (and then of course dynasty came out. All down hill from there.) Destroyer was my first album. Alive 2 was my fav. I just loved those temporary tatoos that came with it. ahh the memories. Why do we have to get old. If only we could go back just for a day.

phantom of the park was 10,000 times WAY Better than the Star Wars christmas/holiday special from '78. I'm glad I was too young for that torture. Met Gene once and got a xerox of their 1978 comic book signed in silver ink.

I was born in 79, an grew up in Colombia, SA. There was such a mistique around KISS while I was growing up in the 80's, and the cathoilic schools were all like the PMRC. It was kinda revolutionary to listen to KISS... I wish I had grown up in the 70's in the US, just to see KISS live and at their best, woth Ace kicking ass! KISS and all those great bands: Sabbath, Lizzy, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Creedence, ACDC, are the only thing worth listening to now... most stuff nowadays sucks, except for TOOL. !
