KISS - Cold Gin (Live 1975)

[theguycansing]

Ace needs know introduction!!He"s done very well for himself.

[rowdydrummer1]

2:43 Gene and Paul's voices sound amazing!

[thankfullyhere]

I am ace

[thankfullyhere]

@thankfullyhere i know you dont believe

[EdwardJacobDiggory17]

I'm learning how to play this song on the guitar :)

[TheMetalWitch12]

What most people may not know is the Ace wrote this song in five minutes while riding in the New York subway.

[titanfighter12]

Im reading Ace Frehley's No Regrets book, and he wrote this song and Paul and Gene almost didn't put it on the track, when you're a band you support eachother, Paul and Gene can play guitars sure, but they are VERY VERY ANNOYING!

[xxampaxx]

when I was little,I thought it said "hot milk" LOL

[bamafan36301]

@xxampaxx lol my bro who is younger than me, thought that on the alive intro that Paul said fuckin orange juice...insteadf of vodka lol

[utubeisername]

Cold Gene!

[getbackgoodtimes]

4 Like Lady Gag Gag !

[Liquidazot]

hey lOOk pAul plays solo hahaha :d

[exilestones]

Why is the camere never on Ace!, he only gets a few seconds, It's fucking annoying

[kissarmy110936]

@exilestones mybe it was becous hes not singing not sure relly. love to ase more in this to.

[mumufufu922]

@exilestones wasn't this HIS song?

[paulstanleyismylife]

i find it funny that gene simmons sings this song but he does not drink!!!!!!!!!!!

[PAULOcbi]

@paulstanleyismylife Ace`s songs are the best,lyrics,arrangement,riffs ...what can you say??!! GENIUS!!

[paulstanleyismylife]

@PAULOcbi very true

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

Corney intro. Well, they got better over the years. I still love Stanley. Dont get me wrong.

[bwassinger21]

This Gene Simmons is an imposter.....The Real Gene was down with the flu...look Closely

[Deaton1989]

@bwassinger21 --Are you retarted??

[allhailrussell]

@bwassinger21 dude,you should stop doin crack

[Liquidazot]

@bwassinger21 or maby geen is so wet becouse he was plaing with flu? where did they could on start carier find impostor man?

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

Thin, Gene looks frickn' 10 ft tall. Kinda scarey presence.

[rockerrod100]

i love kiss and always will but an insight to this video..on the last verse gene started to say the wrong line but paul caught it....but i dont care..shit when they tried to play at the ector county collesium in odessa texas ..they were BANNED!!..and in wink tx i was the only kid there that dug kiss..now they all do...go figure...

[Burningchromosome]

ace's signal is so hot here

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

I think its funny the way Paul over compensates during Ace's closing licks. If you look closely it almost appears as though Stanly is pretending to do the lead. A bad camera shot doesnt help either. Stanly was such a marshmellow. Seemed so insecure, even in interveiws with the band. Spotlight hog. He always took it upon himself to give cheesy intros and out tros for the others. Dont get me wrong though, KISS wouldnt be KISS without him. Just a little annoying though. Faggy stardom thing.

[phatboy1967]

@SCORNDOGGMELACH well you gotta kinda look back and some of the other greats...like led zeppolin,the who,just to name a couple,there has to be at least one member of any famous band to act a little off at times,and its just to get attention and get people to notice you more .look at "THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME "vid and watch how gay plant acts thru the whole concert.not to diss zepplin ,but its that same faggy presents you mentioned in the kiss vid

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

@phatboy1967 yAH i GUESS THEY ALL HAVE THIER MOMENTS BOTH GOOD AND BAD. But the truth is, I WOULDNT CHANGE A F--KIN THING. LOL

[radiationtherapyband]

How to be a Rock Star 101. Get your pens and paper out people. Take a LOT of notes. This is how it is done.

[phatboy1967]

@radiationtherapyband EXACTLY!!! YOU SAID IT RIGHT MAN ROCK ON

[YeeehawYall]

Man, I love this song. Long live rock!

[stephenjones102]

Fluid....man, do they sound great or what?

[maugaw]

ducaralho!!!!

fucking good!!

[GabiEu001]

You people just put comments in english, never in portuguese.In another video, i saw a comment with the word "pronto".Se você fala português e gosta da banda KISS, não ache que é melhor colocar comentários em inglês porque todos fazem isto. Sou brasileira e me orgulho!

[MetalPower86]

take the fucking ads off youtube

[TheChristian5606]

They still kick ass 40 years later!!

[C00LPHONE]

@TheChristian5606 nope they dont :(

[malinwj1]

I think Peter should have pushed for a Ludwig endorsement, as these drums sound better than the Pearls. They were also better suited for their blues based rock n roll.

[damnyancey]

God I love the sound of them old LPs.

[FilGee100]

@ggiul1256

Mate are you for real ? Your joking right ? That's Ace Frehley, Not the cheap copy that's in KISS now :)

[MrGwhitmer]

no better band

[55Rockdad]

Paul Stanley was playing a Gibson Firebird?

[lburdick666]

Ace Frehley has the most bad ass guitar ever

[IAMCORNDOG123456]

Love that beginning riff. For those folks who want a true to form definition of rock and roll: this is it.

[bloodfarts991]

its funny when paul runs in place

[TIME42]

I love Ace's tune! This is the best Performance!



[rideon77]

@RattleheadGA hahaha! I hink he was just trolling!!! Ace Rocks! Tommy should go back in some garage band!

[nats461]

Gene's bass improvs each time this song is played are very cool.

[SuperVanGogh13]

Best Gay Rock n' Roll band ever!!

[1216saab]

@SuperVanGogh13 They arent gay,but Pauls behaviour looks questionable.

[FilGee100]

@SuperVanGogh13 Dude Their all married exept for Gene who lives with the model Shannon Tweed. Get it right. One thing you got right though tey are the best :)

[jplitch]

@FilGee100 Well she left his ass

[FilGee100]

@jplitch Actually that's not true. There was talk of a split but they worked things out and Gene proposed to her after i don't know how many years of saying that he would never marry. .

It was all on Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

[jplitch]

@FilGee100 Yeah....I quit watching it a while back....you can only handle so much gene...

[flyinwalenda]

Peter had it together back then and was in the pocket. You can hear Gene Krupa's teaching shine through !

[FrehleyFanatic1]

PURE FUCKING ENERGY!!!!

[ggiul1256]

Tommy Thayer sounds better back then!!

[MrMichaelS85]

@ggiul1256 lol trollan

[bareknuckles2u]

@ggiul1256 Hilarious! LOL!

[gomongio]

Crap! it's 4 am and after been listened rock and metal for at least 4 hours and find pretty hard to fall asleep very soon now

[69superlead]

Kiss was REAL for the first couple years.............

[mauuro79]

\m/

[CaptianBrett7]

KISS RULES!!!. cold gin was the first kiss song I learned on guitar. This is a great song!

[gregsmusic1]

FUCK YOU KISS

[pitaten01]

i guess he had the creepy smile before the tongue

[ollieahokas]

Those platforms.. ar they some kind of Tsunami precaution?

[kissito73]

I love cold gin time again ya know it´ll always win.cold gin time again ya know it´s the only thing that keeps us togetheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer ow!

[mauricioath]

Is this on dvd?

[dmaloyyo]

Paul Stanley hasn't been a drinker his whole life. Ha!

This rocks though.

[pudvahbl]

@dmaloyyo Actually it was Gene that never picked up the bottle. Paul actually had to be carried off stage once because he was drunk as shit, don't ask me the show because I will not back that up.

[mrbrosoful]

miss the old kiss!!!

[gabrielbeastmaster]

perfect formation

[Seeba1967]

not insulted just letting it know for other/younger kiss fans who's singing.love gene and paul always till i die

[217789jimbo]

I like to drink a LOT of alcohol.

[MultiWuhu]

I think at this Time they don't Know how famous and ruchlos they will get!Long live KISS

[chucke1963]

Man these dudes were bad ass in the day! I was 12 years old in 75 and they were my favorite band! This concert was in my home town and I had no idea?? Oh well. Man Gene looks so bad ass strutting around and his bass playing is very tight.

[chucke1963]

3:50

More cowbell!!

[razamanaz90]

when KISS ruled the world!!!!!!

[jwahh]

Best decade for music hands down. Always dig that riff at 3:50. Pure Les Paul sweetness.

[gojira1968]

I think their self-titled album was the best. Everything from then on was complete theatrics, which is what actually made them famous.

[xcepttionel]

@gojira1968 new album sonic boom is quite good

[CheRRyBomB931]

Yuuuuuuuuuuum! there making me thirsty, hehehe

[jf11111]

In the days before straplocks. LOL

[reggielist]

after seeing the RUSH documentary about RUSH touring with KISS, i wonder who was also on this show???

[bigbruthaman]

Yeah, bunch of drunken Nazi rebels, fuck it up, Boyz!

[kblopp]

YOU didnt drank shit PAUL you fuckin liar

[ultrasom]

I was born at this exact date and considering the timezone difference, probably during the actual show (6am GMT-3).

While I popped out screaming the four dudes were singin "Cold Gin". Awesome!

[djmigraine111]

bad ass

[TheBobdawson]

Every time I play cold gin I have fond memories of a troubled youth, and the mercy of God for allowing me to live. Through yesterday, and into today. The 70's were great. Kiss was the best live show I ever saw.

[RockSalami]

This is amazing Rock

[RockerFilms94]

Gene looks so young :O

[TheGmgirl77]

Brilliant KISS song... love the bridge the best!

[SadLisa777]

You know, it´s not just the trousers why Paul is so fine, but...

[kevindale68]

a little party we had..

2 fifths of bourbon!

6 bottles of cold gin...!

[GhostOfRockyHorror]

best performance of the song =P

[BastyGuitar]

tell me one of the today's bands that can do half that good. ... see? I'm definately living in the wrong time, i want the 70s!!

[tncl85]

The funny part is, Paul is just talking about all the booze Ace drank before the show, lol. KISS rocks!! They are the hottest band in the world, and always will be!!

[stomp919]

This is the kiss i know and love.

[charger4079]

This is the REAL KISS.Back in the days when they took no prisoners.I love these years when KISS was just KICKING ASS!!!PEACE

[snekar971]

Quante volte t'ho abbracciato mio caro e buon Gin :)

[cheegro1]

This is for all those morons that think that Kiss 2010 (in make up) is the "real" Kiss. I think this was when they were the best. The real deal kiddies!

[226future]

@cheegro1 this is the only kiss i know of, i did not know that people were claiming the name in 2010 to be them, the new children claiming the name of kiss need to change their name to something that they have accomplished during their decade...there is only one KISS!!!

[cheegro1]

@226future Oh, its Gene and Paul. However, they have dressed up Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer to look like Peter and Ace. Not cool and totally lame.

[albinochase]

@cheegro1 it doesnt even matter dude, eric is just as good as peter, actually better, and ace had problems so they had to let him go. i went to the tour they just had, and it was the best fucking concert ever, idc if its not all 4 original members becuz they still kick some ass

[MOPEDER01]

@albinochase They didn't let Ace go, he quit. He has quit KISS two times that I know of.

[jeischen1]

This has to be the show that was recorded live for their double-live album. I wore that album out 35 years ago. The talk between the songs is exactly like it was on the album.

[lovegunII]

They were just starting and look what hell of a show putted on!!

Kiss rocks!

[TNCelt1]

These guys were so ahead of their time, and all the "music snobs" can't understand it until they try to cover their music. Peter was an animal back then too....

[emb145flyer]

That sucked for Paul when his guitar strap came off. Good job though..great song!

[PlayTilTheyBleed]

Paul had a rough time that song - started singing the wrong verse at one point, then his strap popped off. LOL FUCKING BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!! KISS RULES!!!!!

[maybedick69]

@PlayTilTheyBleed Well, actually, Gene is the one who started with the wrong lyric. He quickly corrected himself, though.

[jmeproductions0]

@PlayTilTheyBleed when did it pop off?

[PlayTilTheyBleed]

@jmeproductions0 At right around 5:30 after Paul's squatting down on the floor. He gets up and his strap is no longer attached to the bottom of his guitar and is floppin' all around. He did a great job of playing without it attached!

[GhostOfRockyHorror]

@PlayTilTheyBleed heh.... i never noticed that, that's bad ass

[1216saab]

@PlayTilTheyBleed Paul loved to drink lol

[drbalalajka]

@PlayTilTheyBleed That his strap popped off doesn't matter much since you can barely hear his guitar and it's actually Gene that makes the mistake with the lyrics (as always).

[Seeba1967]

@PlayTilTheyBleed it is not paul singing dude.it is gene so if the lyrics got messed up blame it on gene not paul.tis an insult.I love paul and he rarely messes up the lyrics

[PlayTilTheyBleed]

@Seeba1967 Thanks dude, I know... it's rather obvious that Gene sings this song. Actually, Paul does sing on the 2nd verse, but you are right that it was Gene who screwed up. Tis not an insult, sire. We musicians always make mistakes. KISS being my favorite band since the late 70's, I would never insult them. If you are insulted, then my humblest apologies.

[helterskelter416]

@PlayTilTheyBleed

did he queef that apology out? you're no rocker apologizing so profusely.

[RiverCougar]

this is as raw as it gets!!

rock and roll!!

if you like raw-ness, rockin riffs, and high energy songs, try River Cougar

oNLY** if you want new rockin music!

rock on and god bless

-Dāv

[izzyninja223]

i also love the beggining lyrics of Duece - Get up! and get your grandma out of here!

[A7xdrumr]

pick up! old jim is working hard this year!!!

[schepler2]

@A7xdrumr Those are the lyrics to "Deuce," aren't they?

[gamergeek21]

one of the best guitar riffs by kiss at 3:49

[vfgjhj]

The guitar solo in this song is when it's time to turn it up louder and start tappin them feet.

[mattyp3400]

my favorite kiss vocals of all time

"MY HEATERS BROKE AND IM SO TIRED"

[MrSkaramanga]

No lip sinc in this one guys, this song wails even today, I love that 70's style bass too oh yea.

[44excalibur]

Ace should've sang this song! He wrote this one and it's one of his best! The gutair licks on this song are awesome!

[mlaura121]

Ahhh qe concierto! *-*

[markkondak]

Been a kiss fan since the beginning.going to see them october 9th in new york. kiss 35 . in all honesty there is only one artist I enjoy more than kiss in concert and that is ALICE COOPER.!

[rbhiphopsux]

SPECTACULAR!!!!

The best live act ever was/is The Who!A very close 2nd is Kiss.A fan rarely got ripped off when those 2 bands took/take the stage!

This is a spectacular version of the song while the band was at the height of its talent!!!!

[k1re33]

This guitar solo is the best. No other guitar solo beats this one.

[dubya12825]

I'm with you. Yeahhhh!

[RockFANATIC212]

I disagree....for one song is Drive my Car by The Beatles...ultimate George solo!

[k1re33]

Cold Gin kicks it out of the water by a long shot but yes its a very good solo.

[tino773]

great upload

thanks man

[lucyfaire1980]

DAMN they where good back then...

[KissFan1997]

@lucyfaire1980 They still are ! :D

[seandeyoung01]

@lucyfaire1980 THEN AND STILL!

[brandon22227]

@lucyfaire1980 back then? kiss is still amazing

[Starsky76]

@brandon22227 WRONG. Gene is a fat bloated fuck and Paul can't sing anymore. Oh and two posers dressed up as Ace and Peter.

[XZiggiX]

0:50 Best Ace outfit ever

[mkl62]

From the debut LP, this has become a concert staple. However, before they perform this, Paul does a little public service announcement..."If you've been drinking, for God's sake, let someone else who hasn't been drinking drive." I also saw Ace perform this (solo) in July 1987, along with Deuce, at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. Ace wrote this, by the way. Talk about art imitating life.

[ericfromkokomo]

why on earth is the camera focused on fagboy paul during ace's solo? gay!

ace rules!

[fschork]

muito interessante esse video da turnê de 75, uma performance cheia de energia e emoção!!!!

[KISSvideoCLASSIX]

KISSvideoCLASSIX

[dxvolt]

Sure dude. I'm trying to digest those fucking retarded chairmans for not give KISS the respect it deserves. They're music is fantastic, more than some bands in the Hall of Fame. A shame...

[flaphead325]

That's extremly true.

All the stuff they did in the 70's made me discover music.

[dxvolt]

and that's why you have awesome taste ;) keep rockin

[number1kissfan]

kiss fucking own, this is one of there best songs tht does not get recognised, it is well worthy as one of there greats KEEP ROCKING!

[wowtrax]

Slip up at 2:57?

[hirskdubbi]

radiospirit was one of those annoying,abrasive know it alls at a party and youd try to avoid him

[lewis121701]

I beleive Ace wrote the song but because of stage fright he pass it on to Gene. I think it took Ace 2 or 3 years before he would sing on stage.

[Dabuss98]

hey isnt this cobo hall the greatest rock concert in history.......i also like the phsyco circus tour and the unmasked tour! I LUV U KISS!!!

[wowtrax]

Location is in the description.

[radiospirit]

Gene even sings the lyrics to Cold Gin...

This song advocates drinking...

He sings the song emphatically...

Come on!! Simmons drank back then...

[XQX987]

Ace wrote the song,but in those days,he was still too shy to sing.

[legolas1994304]

Gene doesn't drink, asshole.

[radiospirit]

Look ... where is the interview where Simmons says that they were all gassed when they were playing Cold Gin.

Drinking - Drugs ... doesn't matter ...

He needs to 'fess up...

[legolas1994304]

That's complete bullshit.

[angelmtza]

Well I don't know if Gene drinks but hell he likes pussy more than I do and that is not a little feat! LOL

[legolas1994304]

Haha yeah. But Gene DOES NOT drink and he's never been drunk. Sure, he's drank some alcohol, but he was never drunk. He wouldn't keep going on about how he's never been drunk if it was a lie.

[radiospirit]

Nice whammy bar there, Ace...

[toddg64]

born to be rock and roll stars. nothin' else to say about it.

[radiospirit]

Gene...turn your bass up, you big dummy.

Oh yeah...but don't forget.

Gene Simmons didn't
