I use to be a big kiss fan, until they got older and got snobbier and more uptight, one thing I can say for certain about em, they may be assholes at times (Paul and Gene) but they have some great songs, Peter and Ace were always so underrated and kept under the thumb. Peter Criss is the best kiss drummer and his voice is pure gold.
The Best KISS Song EVER.At the time it was the Most Driving ROCK.No one at the time could match them.I was there at that time and Kiss is what took uS to this New Future WE ALL LIVE IN NOW.tereept
knowing the story of KISS I will Pass it on as the greatest rags to the greatest band in the world.So it has been writen so shall I tell it.Thank You KISS for all the good times hard times and down times.
So many people talk about Destroyer being Kiss' best album.What about This 1 or RARO,Creatures?Lick it Up?,Kiss'74 is where it all started.So raw and hungry they were back then and every song is a classic ass kicker
@SABBATAGE. IM PROB AS OLD AS UR DAD! LOL THIS MY FAV KISS TUNE ALSO! (although i didnt really appreciate these guys till metal kinda took a back seat to all the bs in the early 90s) My fav band was always SABBATH+++
@sabbathtage25 damn it didn't know it could be possible to love KISS and not "Black Diamond"...it truely is not only one of Kiss' best song but to me one of the greatist riff's in rock n' roll !!! WOW
@AngusFerris Dazed and Confused was hilarious!!!! I got stoned a lot if that's what you wanted to know and partied just like any high school kid but back then is nothing compared to what kids have today; poor poor kids lol I grew up in the perfect era and graduated in 81 and partied my ass off in the 80's life was sooo great back then No DWI's, No seat belt laws, no drinking age of 21 lmao
@TheBashingBro He looks different, because, for the first album cover, everyone, except Peter, did their own makeup. For him, they had a guy do it for him. I'm not sure why. He said he hated that.
So why bother? They are a true inspiration for an entire ARMY of fans! All the haters should just shut up! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE! Post To Any Of Your Favorite videos
KISS trivia: the slow-down at the song's end was in fact accidental. It was caused when Gene, having brought in a goodly supply of his beloved mother's Hungarian goulash — enough for the entire band & studio crew, had set his generous helping close to the reel-to-reel tape machine. Over a few hours, he inadvertently dropped little bits of beef & tomato over the device, which ended up gradually jamming it — messy boy! They were mixing this song when the tape machine finally slowed to a halt.
Wow, Peter Criss sounds so GREAT everywhere he sings on this first album! He and Simmons actually somehow complimented each other in songs on which they shared lead vocals, also including "Nothing to Lose."
THE best Kiss song ever.... they never even got close to doing a song as good as this.... i love seeing this performed live. best live entertainers on the planet...
This is what happens when you let the Catman loose:)
My all time favorite KISS song.......next to 2000man that is...Oh yeah and War Machine...But thats it...Oh No I forgot I will always Love you..Thats it my favs list:)
Dad, why you dont had sex with Mom in 70's?
