Kiss should never apologize for this album or songs like this they are some of their best
I usually don't like sellout Albums / Weird Albums BUT Unmasked & Music from the Elder are Awesome ones.
im Gonna do a Video Review on the Elder Soon
A rare solo by Paul and a great one! Love Gene's voice!
100! Great overall and fits the song as good as any, ever
Omg. Did Paul just play solo. That's super rare. 😂
@@keshid3su38He also played the solo on Sure Know Something.
Most likely Paul played the solo on this song Because Ace Frehley was absent from recording it most likely and had no time to learn it live
@@markwendt3838 Ace played the solos on his own songs and I Was Made for Loving You. I have zero idea about the rest of the album. Paul definitely played this one and Sure Know Something in the studio.
The Elder is the most underrated and misunderstood album of the Kiss catalog.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's also one of Kiss' greatest songs.
Agree 110%.
If you are a true kiss fan you'll love every song no matter how terrible it is ..to the kiss army the demon and starchild can do no wrong and really they can make gold out of horseshit all there stuff seems to have meaning to me for some reason... music is awesome
That's because it sucks. IMO. Gene and Paul were writing apart. It was a crappy concept album about the "chosen one". That concept was not written about very deeply. The producer never came into the studio to guide and direct or whoever he was due to free basing the hell outta coke. Was a real down time for Kiss but they recovered bigly!
I have to agree
The Elder sucks
Gene's voice sounds amazing here!
Paul killed the solo!!!
Starchild was on point !!!
I love Aces solo on dark light also
Gene always had a good voice, a unique voice at that. You can hear it in the older albums. His background vocals are awesome and very noticeable as well. Wish this song was about one minute longer!
Gene is a phenomenal vocalist. Always sending chills down your spine
Yes he has a really awesome voice ❤️❤️
YES!!!!🥰 WOW MR GENE SIMMONS !!!! AND SUPER ROCK GROUP KISS!!!! 🥰
The only way his voice would sound great, if my Catman was singing!!!!!!!!! Lol 😂
I am not even a KISS fan, yet this song I am addicted to.
Who knew The Demon was so sentimental?
Hey Brandon, let's start a thing. Lets get this song to become the anthem for our front line heroes. A video montage of the heroes doing their thing, with this song as the backdrop. Stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
Lol that's funny
He writes alot of those Beatle type songs we are one is the best
Watch him sing the chorus to love gun on the animalize vhs 😅
I DID ITS PART OF ROCK!!!!!
BRILLIANT, I loved the Elder era!
This is a great song. Gets buried down in the KISS catalogue just from the sheer number of great songs they have. Great lead vocal by Gene. Great solo by Paul. He was always a very soulful lead player as oppose to Aces unique style
Paul doesn't get the respect he deserves. He is no John Lennon, yet, he is a solid and accomplished guitarist. I'd enjoy guitar lessons course working thorough his playing style.
Both Have the same style. Pentatonic , blues based solos. Ace is just faster
Love this song and Gene's voice is perfect for it!
How good it feels to see all these positive reactions. I absolutely loved this album and thought i was only one. I was already looking forward to a follow up album at the time.
I too love this song and the album. Just think how much this song means in today's world situations, April 4 2020. Where would we be without the front line heroes. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
I remember seeing this for the first time on tv . It was a special moment even though it didn’t get the attention it deserved . The song is simply brilliant and very moving . The album is a matter of taste but over time it got better and one can really appreciate it today ! I love Kiss so maybe I’m impartial but I love the album . The oath , Just a boy , only you , under the rose , and this song are as good as any kiss songs they have released .
Miss the 80’s !!
Great song,Kiss should play today in this style,and this song should be played at big concerts
I remember being 16 and seeing this song performed on 'Fridays' and being deeply moved. I thought it was a great step forward for KISS.
I love this song it is one of my favorite songs by KISS!💖
Solid solo from Paul Stanley!!!
When I heard that Stan Lee had passed away yesterday...it was not long afterwards that this song came to mind.
Wow. You can tell Paul did the solo on the album. Plays it very accurately here. Reminds me of his solo on the Take Me Away song on his solo album. He indeed has some creativity of his own, but rarely used it on KISS albums.
According to his book, Steve Lukather of Toto performed the guitar solo on the album. And I believe it to be true since he is a very prolific and highly-skilled session guitarist, plus it's never been argued or disputed by anyone from Kiss so there's no reason for me to not believe it.
Either way, Paul nails it live. He’s a very underrated guitarist.
@@crazyjkz Wow! Never heard that. Just found out he did the solo on "Voices", by Cheap Trick.
This live version sounds even better than the lp version
The Mouse King Thanks for the info on that one
The Internet Killed Music They didnt actually play this live, its playback
Oreo Kombat This is live...
it's not. they're miming a live performance that was pre-recorded. the key is to watch Paul's solo. at 1:56 he does this massive 4 note bend.... except he doesn't when he's miming here. his left hand barely moves. if you re-watch a few times.. you'll notice anomalies... it just doesn't match up.
@@andresassi526 you just typing the word "bullshit" doesn't change anything. they're miming to a pre-recorded track. if you watch Paul's solo and still think that this is 100% live, you're an even bigger idiot than what you appear to be.
this was great. I was totally expected this to be the typical lip-synch sort of thing that dominated back then, but this is all live!
This has got to be one of the greatest live performances for television ever. And the song? Well, it pulls yer heart. Pulls it in a most tragic fashion and doesn’t let go. Just look at Gene’s eyes. He truly believes in the moment, and delivers. These fellas were fantastic.
Not sure if you're serious or sarcastic. Either way I'm laughing my ass off at your comment.
@@twohandsandaradio Poor guy. You’ll be ok though. At least yer laughin
the best ever ?? what??
@@timsears951 Read it again 951
I am blow away over his voice. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Killer tune. It actually got a lot of airplay in the Charlotte area late '81-early '82. Heard it regularly on the ride to high school. LOVE this album. Kiss was the best Kiss when they did the unexpected. Bought it when it dropped so I could check out the new drummer. Heavy!! Wish they'd made the movie. The comic book was stupid. I always assumed it was Medieval times - more of an Excalibur story.
God such a misunderstood album... Wish they could have at least played ONE show in support of it... Gene spewing blood them singing Mr. Blackwell would have ruled
Makes absolute no sense at all. But this is what makes a gem album a gem album. Its comes with all the ifs ands butts coulda shoulda 's ....But trust me Im as pissed off as you are.
Two words. Spinal Tap.
my dad says i’m weird for liking The Odyssey.. but it grew on me. the way Paul sang it might be a bit awkward but it’s a great song.
My new favorite kiss song cant get it out of my head since the first time i heard it
This song always brings me to tears😢 I try not to listen to much 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😢
Same here.
That's common in gays
James Lemmons It brings Paul and Gene to tears too... Thinking how badly it flopped. Seriously though, I like this tune too.
Finally! I've always wanted to see Paul play lead guitar live.
John Drake when I saw KISS for their Animalize tour Paul played the solo because Mark St. John couldn’t. Paul did a great job then.
This is an amazing performance!
I'm a Prog rock aficionado, and I think this is one if the greatest songs ever written. It's up there with the Beatles "Let it Be".
prog rock sucks
I disagree, Mr. Kenstar2. Prog Rock Rules!!!
Actually this song "A World Without Heroes" by KISS sounds like Early Moody Blues or Definitively Early Pink Floyd. Thank you.
1:44 That moment when you realize Paul played the solo, not only on this, but Sure Know Something, played the melody on Detroit Rock City while Ace played harmony. He could play lead if he wanted to.
Steffan Pila
Great Live Version of "A World Without The Heroes" by Kiss. It's like Kansas meets Moody Blues. A Very Prog- Rock Upbeat Tempo Song. By far, the best song from the "Music From The Elder" album. Thank you.
studio version entered Billboard Dec 12, 1981 ..reached #56
What a gorgeous song, I love this live version of it
Wow. As someone that listened to Kiss Symphony before anything else, this is absolutely beautiful.
A great song from an under appreciated album ... The Elder is worth a listen - especially if you understand the Templar Knights and the Oath ....
Kiss are a very talented band and I didn't know they could do songs so beautiful like this until I looked into some of this same era of their music which was brief, but rewarding. I also say Angel are far superior to Kiss, but I think we need both bands and I wish we could have them now. Angel are kings and Kiss are kings I feel like crying when I look at what makes it today and I have cried. There was a time when bands like Kiss and Angel were very successful and I'm damned sad I was really just a young kid then. Memories flood back of the distant past. One of the best for me was when in 1988 I was being abused in school and I was 12 years old I got suspended from the shitty school I was in and came home that day and my dad handed me a copy of ROCK AND ROLL OVER. I laughed and laughed and laughed! I played it and grooved to it. I love flamboyance. Let's hear it for America's two best bands of the mid 70s through to eternity KISS and Angel. And please stop the hatred towards Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons they are the two founders of the band.

👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰viva Paul Gene y Kiss. Los mejores q todavía están vivos para contarlo .y yo los veo hace poco y lo q me perdí antes escuchaba su música y no sabía q eran ellos yo los 80 estuve bastante entretenida con trabajo y familia y sabía q existía Kiss pero q eran satánicos y nazis.🤷😖por dios...
mi ripeto: music from the elder è un grandissimo album 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
this song never gets any credit by KISS FANS or anyone else for that matter HOWEVER i think it's a cool tune , gene sings it very well , MUSIC FROM THE ELDER was actually a good album , it showed KISS'S versatility in writing songs , well done KISS!!!
I've liked Kiss most of my life, but I am just now discovering Music From the Elder. Quite a departure for them, but I really really like it. Apparently it was a flop when it came out. In retrospect, it was a brilliant album.
Dave Garry Considering the shit that's passed for music on the radio these days, a flopped album from the 80's would be a brilliant discovery.
I agree, Dave Garry. The "Music From The Elder" album is a brilliant album by Kiss. Thank you!!!
I agree i just listened to it in its entirety after about 30 years..its a solid album
@Dave Garry: This song, and the concept album it was featured on, was an attempt by KISS to show the critics that they were accomplished musicians who could write about something other than tits & ass..... Unfortunately, in the process, they alienated a large portion of their fan base... To make matters worse, it was critically trashed and commercially a flop... As a KISS fan, I appreciate music from ALL incarnations of the band... "A World Without Heroes" is a beautiful song !!! :):):)
It was mainly a flop here in America, which was unfortunate.
*(music from) The Elder* did pretty well in Europe, Japan & Australia!
Say what you want about the album as a whole: this is a good song.
Love that guitar solo!!
Starchild was on point !!!
Never knew Paul played leads like that, badass and super heartfelt man! 💚😎❤
This song could be five minutes long (revisited) it's so damn epic. ☕
Hey Chris, I'm NATURE BOY C.J.Johnson, I'm trying to get this great song to become the anthem for our front line heroes. Where would we be without them, world wide. Lets make it a thing. Stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
Gene’s voice is really nice and smooth when he wants it to be. When he isn’t using his “Demon Voice.”
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤
This specific performance made me absolutely fall in love with KISS
Lou reed had some in put either to writing or recording this song!This is super duper rare in the annal of Kisstory!
Rip. Dad. Forever my hero, forever i’ll miss you.
Of all the comments, this one caught my attention. My dad is my hero, too.
May your father rock in peace ❤
Gene's vocals here are very good, also Paul's guitar solo are beautiful.
as little kids, staying up to watch Fridays was the highlight of our week. seeing/hearing KISS on Fridays was the highlight of our year.
You have got to be out of your mind..!!! Am I in the twilight zone here. This God -Awful piece of dogshit Friday's appearance left me traumatized for months till Creatures dropped. I swear if you would have kicked Paul in the ass hard enough during this show, a truckload of dicks would have covered the stage. That would have been your only highlight left we could send to ya Rich. GEEEESSSHHH......
Crofton Maryland by chance?!
A World World without Heroes is a huge song! It was a huge Gene's performance!
The elder was misunderstood and this is my all time favorite song among so many... I discovered kiss with crazy nights (thief was my fav!) at the age of twelve and dove in on my own... the elder blew me away. Lick it up and animalize were the only two albums i never got ahold of in vinyl. My collection was stolen. Anyhow... hi to the brethren🙂
Gene had such a beautifully rich voice. It's really too bad he didn't use more instead of all that growling while playing the part of the God of Thunder!
April 4 2020, how the message of this song means so much in today's world situations. Where would we be without the front line heroes. This live appearance aired in 1981, thank you KISS for a song well ahead of its time. Some one get to the KISS people, do a montage of the front line heroes with this song, and let it be their anthem. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
I love this song
This song
This video
The sadness in Gene's eyes
Makes me cry
Great solo! 🎸👍
Starchild was on point !!!
A must for the FINAL Show on the End Of The Road Tour just before Rock n Roll All Night.
Love this song. Love The Elder, my favourite Kiss album. Adore prog and concept albums so its always been a treasure.
Short but sweet. A freaking amazing song. Gene does it justice and Paul's solo isn't half bad!
Awesome! Gene sings very special and good !
Hey buddy, this great song should be the anthem for our front line heroes. A video montage of them doing their thing, with this song in the backdrop. Where would we be without them. Help make it a thing, stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
WOW 🥰. THE BEST DRUM PLAYER AND THE BEST DRUM KIT KISS EVER HAD!! SINGLE HEAD DEEP LUDWIG CHROME DRUMS WOW!!!! CLASSIC KISS!!
as kiss most kiss fans moved on during this time they came back with creatures of the night a short time later and things began too look up i seen them live Jan/83 with make up in Toronto they had a battle tank stage it was so cool
Dude---this song is SO FUCKING GOOD.
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
The Gene is so cool that it makes you marvel at him every time! 🤤
Everything about this video is amazing. Great underrated song live. Paul playing the solo.
I wish we could see the keyboard player (unless it was a track which seems likely).
Wonderful song.....and great solo guitar of Stanley.......
Love this album!!! Unfortunately it doesn't get the respect it deserves even from diehard Kiss fans. I definitely wished when I saw them live they would've played some from The Elder!
I love this song and performance :)
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
Great ballad, great lyrix, ... love it.
This is why I love gene he has such a range vocally and sounds amazing no matter where he’s at
"A World Without Heroes"
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
The song means more now, April 4 2020, as to what the world is going through now. Where would we be without the front line heroes. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
The greatest solo by a rhythm guitarist.
What a great time!
The “Bob Ezrin produced this right after he did The Wall by Link Floyd” vibe is so strong with this song lol
Pink Floyd.
The Elder is one ir the best Kiss albums. So underated... but i love all the tracks and the history inside
This album sucks balls
KISS's the BEST !
If you ever heard this on the radio or really anywhere for the first time, you would never guess that this was heavy rock band wouldja? Americas shock pop heavy hard rock virtuosos, KISS!
Probably his best underrated song
when you're a 12 yr old KISS fan, spending yer days playing Dungeons & Dragons and THIS album drops, you're in heaven
Another Awesome Classic,Dedicated to Lt. General Russell Honore, for his help assisting the people of New Orleans after Katrina, in 2005, A real American Hero!
Beautiful
I think kiss was just doing what sweet was doing along with alot of glam bands of the 70s, once you get tired of trying to be wild and heavy all the time you mature as a musician and want to write softer more meaningful music
This sounds pretty darn good live.
Paul should play more solos, he may not have a fast and flashy technique but he has lots of feel...
Yes, this is pretty good, although I did hear a bum note or two, but you are right, lots of feel.
@Jerome Wagschal: You may appreciate this ---> ua-cam.com/video/x901SuxON9w/v-deo.html
Agreed. Mixing it up is good.
Not anymore
Paul's solo is killer
Good song. Very underrated
Simmons y Stanley. Definitivamente.....los jefes!!!!!!
Once again I repeat myself by saying I think the movie soundtrack the Elder was kind of hidden in music history but had very notable moments . I thought it was different and actually pretty good. The people that like kiss love kiss I count myself as one of them people that don’t just don’t understand Kiss . But with the Music Separated from the make up I still think they were very solid band that could stand on their own especially the first few albums I respect kiss quite a bit. Also I just think that Ace Freley Deserves more respect than he actually got from everyone around him he was not necessarily a technically sound guy but that makes them all the better he did it with improvisation and very notable and identifiable leads. To me that’s the best way to be as a guitar player and I think he gets lost in history I’m definitely a big fan of ACE and Kiss
They'll never die😊
One the most iconic Kiss Vídeos
This album was good too. I really liked that it had a story to it too
Hermosa época!!!
KISS 1981 !!!
Fue un buen álbum kiss actual Quisiera sacar un álbum de esa calidad con sus dos imitadores
Q dices imitadores! 🤫 ellos son tan músicos vomo Ace Y Peter. Por lo menos aquí los protagonistas son Paul y Gene.
Un poco de respeto a Kiss.
Si se pintaría igual se lo mandarían los q dirigen kiss.. a mi Singer le da 100 vueltas a Peter. Y Tommy no tanto pero es bueno y vestido yo lo he visto diferente estoy cansada de tanto mal rollo siendo Kiss igualmente. Viva Kiss con todos sus componentes de toda su larga andadura... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Great Scott, Paul is actually a great solo guitarist.
Love it! 💜
For you, Allan "Merlin" (RIP 2019), Souvenirs, I miss you...
Even with a few stinkers, Gene sang this beautifully (for Gene). And Paul's lead break is great. They were really trying to be less one-dimensional in this era, but unfortunately no one really bought it.
With the whole world situations, c19, this song should be the front line heroes anthem, where would we be without them. Lets get this done for them. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
