@Amsterdam74yeah Yup, kind of a loud-mouthed shnook. A lesser singer, for sure. Some of his songs were pretty good but he often had help. Bryan Adams(!) co-wrote 'War Machine'...
This was my introduction to Kiss as a 17 year old and I was hooked. Why can't we buy Rock Concert Videos on DVD? It's been 35 years already. What's the hold up?
Wow, I had no idea Kiss had this effect on people. Firehouse is just a kick ass song from my past, you people have turned it into something I don't want to remember. Who cares who's gay and who isn't. Kiss kicks ass.
@Gregorypeckory Don't knock my Ace, boy. Coming from a jazz snob like you (check out his page), your comment isn't surprising. WTF are you even listening to this? Go put on some of your nice, relaxing jazz records.
@Tommyrox1 Come on out of the closet Tom-anybody that's so worried about his sexual orientation that a rainbow makes him uncomfortable is most likely a repressed gay himself-as most gay-bashers are.
Videos like this one serve to prove that "KISS Alive" really didn't need to be 'sweetened' all that much. They sounded fine just as they were. I'd like to hear the album raw, just as it was originally recorded before post production.

Gene is such a money-grubbing SOB. I like some of their songs but I'm not a huge fan. Without their makeup, firebreathing, fake blood, etc, they never would have made it as big as they did.
tht is a lie kiss was big without their makeup not at first but once they came out with 90's stuff like unholy and domino they were huge again im a huge kiss fan and i like most alltheir stuff but the 70's stuff is still my favorite
On the contrary i think.. Kiss in the 70's with Frehley made uniqe music!
Behind the stageshow, fake blood, makeup and clothes and fire, you have one of the most influential rock'n roll bands of all time.. the stageshow make, stole the show for some of the greatest riffs ever! too bad only a few noticed that. They had soul and character like no other band back then.. Allways remember.. It was when Kiss became serious (somewhere after destroyer) that their music became boring..
Fuck you dumbass. Go listen to some music before you open your fat trap. Go listen to Domino, War Machine, Hate, Rain, Psycho Circus, Hotter Than Hell that's rock and roll what more could you want?
Ker...rist! I remember buying Kiss 'Alive' in 1974 (?) with Firehouse on it when the album first came out in Britain, and it was only available on cassette (remember those?)initially (Casablanca EMI) - am I the oldest person in the world? Thanks for posting.
This must have been on Dick Cavet late night or something. Who cares. It still rocks! Thanks for posting. Get the Firehouse!!!!!1

So it's not the makeup that would throw you off, it's what happened to be on a public stage show when they recorded this for t.v.
