It's his song, it's his jam, it's his favorite song, not literally HIS song...
@@TheSunnycal Yeah, but it can also be literally HIS song... You're in a band hanging around, then hear your song and hurry up to the show... You know you made it...
@@nomisnestral6956 Its not tho
The abstract thinking is not strong in Brad.
And Lex misuses the word "literally" so often, he might have no chance to tell the difference.
thanks,i almost lost it...
@@nomisnestral6956 It's not. The lyrics literally explain it's about somebody listening to the band's song on the radio while driving to the show after drinking and smoking, except instead of making it there they get into a car accident and may or may not have died.
I think by him claiming the song is his song - he means a favorite song of his. 'That's my song!'
Exactly! We allllll have “that” song 🙌🏼.
My song = my jam✌🏻💙🙏🏻
The song is based on an actual fan that was killed in a car crash going to a KISS concert. If you listen to the original album version the track starts with a guy driving and listening to a different KISS song and ends with the songs of a car crashing. Everyone has songs that that they call “my song” or “this is my jam” that gets a person pumped up. That is what the “hear my song” lyrics are referring to.
Brad,brad, brad, 🤣🤣🤣
Correct
I am 55 years old and I'm still a proud member of the KISS ARMY. Love all their music. Arena Rock .
62 and still proud to be a kiss I'm from Detroit so we the first to get it.
@@raphaelhernandez4088 ¡Qué bonito nombre el tuyo, amigo!
Same, I'm 47 and a second generation. My mother is 67 and Kiss Army
KISS ARMY 4 LIFE
46 year old and was fortunate to see KISS two times! They truly rock! As much as The Demon gets his notoriety from the blood spitting and fire breathing, The Starchild deserves his own as well being the frontman and all. Between Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter they ruled the 70's! And beyond as well!🤘
There's actually a pretty tragic backstory about this song:
This song was originally written about a Kiss fan that was killed in a car accident on his way to a Kiss concert
In the version of this song from the original album that this song appeared "Destroyer", you'd hear the sounds of a car revving and at the end of the song, you hear tires screeching and the sounds of crunching metal
wonder if the movie Detroit Rock City depicts any of this. It was so long ago that I saw it I'm not sure. It was a good movie I think.
@@djC653 as far as I recall, the movie "Detroit Rock City" didn't depict any part of the backstory of the origin of the song's title
@@karlsmith2570 was going to assume it didn't but u know where that'll get me.
No it wasn’t. Completely fictional story.
I was waiting to see if someone talked about this...was going to mention it...you beat me to it
That bass sound is still so magical. Over 40 years auld and it still kicks arse even by today's technology. The whole band does. 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
True. Listen to all other bands and different genres... This was something else.
When it comes to recording music, new Technology (computer aided) doesn't mean anything. Bands back in the day had to master their instruments so they weren't wasting time and money in the very expensive studio. You couldn't just cut and paste garbage together digitally like they do with so many "Artists". It's 95% the skill of the musicians.
Now anyone can record in their bedroom easily and with low cost. While that has allowed some great artists to get exposure, it's also spawned a lot of people with no passion making and releasing music with little thought or effort put into it.
When you don't have to actually create music with an instrument, and you can just sample things other people already created to make your own 'music', you aren't going to get good music most of the time. The person making it isn't even bothered enough to learn how to play the instrument. They just cut and paste tracks together on a computer and that is why most new music sounds the same, because it is all cut and paste from a specific pool of existing music and samples.
@@hazepheno925 Yep. Today's music has very little soul. Where are the artists today that want to spend tens of thousands of practice hours to master an instrument? Technology had made people lazy and has sucked the soul out of the music. More image than talent these days.
@@hazepheno925 Very true. I especially hate it when you get musicians who have an ounce of talent still using backing tracks, especially drums, fir their recordings. With today's global reach via the internet and social media, how hard is it to reach out to other musicians (if you don't know any locally or you live in complete isolation somewhere on this planet) and ask them if they would like to contribute to your creation. It would sound more organic and others listening to it would appreciate the fact that you care enough to create something genuine rather than plugging into something video game. If you have the talent then please don't waste it on cheap fillers.
The first time I saw KISS they opened for Aerosmith. I was leaning on the stage and Gene came over and did his "biting the bass" bit. He slung fake blood all over four or five of us. We were all so stoned...never heard of KISS before that night. Before the show was over people were yelling for Aerosmith...lol I ran out and bought the only album they had out...KISS...the next day. But the next time KISS was in town they headlined and sold out the stadium.
If you want a song from Kiss that fits their look listen to "God of Thunder". When I first heard this as a kid I thought it was the heaviest song ever, in the seventies that is
Strutter, I Stole Yer Love, and Sure Know Something are my favs...live of course!
War Machine
100,000 Years
When he sings, "I hear my song...", I don't think he means he's hearing his own song and getting off on it. I believe he means he's hearing a favorite song that's playing on the radio. He's singing in the first person, but I believe he's not singing about himself. The singer is referencing an incident. Probably writing by using "you" or "he" instead of "I" didn't work as well. He might have written in "I" for rhyming reasons, or he just wanted to put himself in that person's shoes.
KISS is more visual ... You have to see them perform to get the full KISS experience..
Nearly every reaction Lex will say something hilarious. "It's like something your Great Grandma would bump to." We love you Lex!!!
"Kiss" was sort of my introduction to hard rock. Their album covers were appealing to a 13 year old.boy. Do you remember "Kiss meets the Phantom"....it was so stupid, but I loved it at the time...I would like to see them react to it.
Her take on the music of the older generation is hilarious. I know I could convince her that being forced to listen to Howard Cosell was the punishment for committing crimes against the State.
Never been a KISS fan, but this song ROCKS!!
This isn't from Destroyer; it's from Double Platinum. The Destroyer version has a different beginning and ending that compliments the story in the lyrics.
Is that why no car crash at end?
@@davidbarrows8833 yes.
Only real Kiss fans know that shit 🤘
The Destroyer version is better
That's a very good catch. This is the Double Platinum version.
The 70's was such a broad era for music...
The KISS album Destroyer came out in 1976, I first saw them live on 7/11/76. I remember the date because it was my 18th birthday and the show was on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band as the opener. KISS opened their show with Detroit Rock City, and the place just exploded, one week after the 4th of July 1876, there were still a few fireworks around. Plus KISS brought their own.
Bob! that is a fun story. You are saying that Bob Seger opened up for KISS ? That is rich.
Yes. Seger opened for KISS on that tour. Not sure why that’s “rich”, but it’s true.
I was 4 and remember everyone decorating their bikes to ride in the bicentennial parade. I remember my babysitter always wore a Kiss shirt. The funny things we remember as little kids.
@@raymo6795 Nobody knew who Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band were, Night Moves came out a couple of weeks later. But they did get an encore, as an opener, for KISS!
@@bobschenkel7921 they just seemed to be unlikely to on the same ticket. I am not a huge Seeger fan, but he is to be respected for carving out his own nitsch…which can not be called hard rock, or metal ..certainly not glam.Rumor is that he does what he wants, not what record companies tell him and he is not about gimmicks.KISS openly admits that they formed for money and women.Bob Seeger is a singer, songwriter and musician. Paul and Gene are capitalists…but they have many fun tracks over the last 45 + years
This song NEEDS to be experienced with a Live version.
It was great live when I saw them like 17 years ago
The live from dodger stadium video from 1998 is good
i say the destroyer version is better bcos it has the newscast and the car wreck to give more of an explanation to the song
If you go for a live version,try to find one from the mid-late 80's where Paul sings the verses in a minor key. In my opinion it makes a great song that much better.
Na man it’s gotta be live from the 70s back in their prime, that’s where the magic of this song comes to life 🤘🏻
There's still a lot of KISS ARMY out there since 1974 and still Touring in 2021
Yeah, and we are all grey haired. There's gunna be a lot of black tshirts in the old folks home of the coming years
🖐🏻 I’m another one from the KISS ARMY
Please do Danzig How the gods kill
One of my favorite bands, been listening to them for 40 years.
KISS were a whole vibe of their own, they even got their own Scooby Doo cartoon where they voice their own characters playing themselves, it doesn't get much more epic than getting to play yourself in a Scooby Doo cartoon,
hilarious!..Was that the episode after the Harlem Globetrotters?...as it turns out, there was no ghost, just some guy with a scary mask, who would have gotten away with it , except for those meddling kids
They had a popular comic book that was marketed as having a drop of their blood in the ink.
If you don't think they are the most commercial/merchandise-heavy band out there, google the KISS Kasket
@@toddsonnier3763 Also “ KISS meets the Phantom”. Perhaps the silliest movie ever made.
You jst mentioned my all-time favourite..... thnk you kindly 🤗🤗🤗
My favourite part of that movie is that judging on when it takes place, “early 2000’s” Paul was able to pull Daphne while being almost 60 lmao man is a chad
70's Arena Rock
Awesome melodic solo that gets turned up when the 2nd guitar kicks in……I love double guitar harmonies……Judas Priest has some goods songs with double harmonies….”Hotel California” by the Eagles is a great double guitar harmony solo if you haven’t reacted to it…..I think you may have
This was a monster album in the day. There was a lot of pressure on the band to follow up the live album, which was hugely successful. They brought in Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin and delivered a great album.
The song is about a fan who died in a car crash. The song is from his view point. There was a movie made about this.
No. Not true.
Yes there was a movie called Detroit Rock City but it wasnt about the subject of the song(car crash). It is actually a comedy.
He's not singing about himself, he's singing about someone driving down the road and hearing their favorite song.
Brad’s not that bright.
@@feldspar3858 Brad's plenty intelligent, he's just not a Rock person. He definitely likes simplicity, a drum machine a guy rhyming and maybe a couple of stolen riffs from great rock bands.
@@neillenet291 - Still seems empty minded and slow with a lot of rock stars. Instead of trying to figure out the meaning or the lyrics, focus on the music in terms of beat, how it sounds, and timbre.
@@feldspar3858 that's what I said a while back, stop worrying about meanings and what type of genre, just tell us if you like the song or not.
This was the KISS sound in the 70's. In the 80's, they went a little heavier, then they changed with the times and went a little hair band-ish. They even released an alternative/grunge album in the 90's. An MTV Unplugged... before getting back together with the original members, putting the makeup back on and releasing an album, Psycho Circus. There's a *lot* of KISStory with these guys. ;)
My friend Loves Kiss. I tease him by calling them Disco Clown Metal. He laughs through gritted teeth.
@@LordEriolTolkien
Pfft! KISS IS THE BEST LIVE SHOW EVER!
@@irishgrl Have you Been to Maiden concert.....but fair call: my brother saw KISS Live and still remembers every detail 25 years on.
Ydon't have to convince me BTW, i was there in the 70's when Alive and Alive II were released, man
Don't forget their disco album
Bands like Kiss helped kill rock n roll.
I thought I was the only person that absolutely loved that guitar solo. It's not complicated but it really speaks to the soul
Lex was surprised because she liked it! Welcome to the KISS army, LOL!
My first concert was a Kiss concert back in 2007 since then I really loved their music, By the way this song is about a fan that was going to one their concert but died in the road, Check out Love Gun 👌🔥
I don't think black betty by ram jam is a well known song, so I don't think it will win a poll on a live... so if u could just do a regular reaction to it 👍
This 👆
If you guys haven't watched the movie Detroit Rock City, you need too! It's a classic. Also, wouldn't mind another song by STP - plush? 😏
Yeah, that's great film. When i first watched it so resonate with me, except one thing - we didn't fight with disco guys we fight with rappers ^)
King of The Nighttime World, Do You Love Me,, Shout It Out Loud, Rock N Roll All Night, Beth, God Of Thunder, Hard Luck Women, Calling Dr Love, Great Expectations, New York Groove, Cristine Sixteen, Shock Me and Love Gun are some of my favorites. One of the cool things about KISS is that each of the four band members sing lead for certain songs. Try to do live versions when possible because they put on a hell of a show.
Live versions of the originals.
My uncle played this for me when I was 6 years old. I was immediately hooked. Still to this day, this is one of my all time favourite rock songs from one of my all time favourite rock albums. Being a bass player, Gene Simmons has influenced me a lot. Especially the bass line in this song who is just one of the most groovy bass lines you will ever hear. Thank you for this great reaction video 👍
Music class at school: Simon and Garfunkel, Beatles, Cat Steven's.
My cousin: Hey, check this out, KISS ALIVE II (1977).
Me: I like KISS, hard rock rules.
DETROIT ROCK CITY: great song, great guitar solo, great energy,, but sad story though.
An awesome live rock and roll show is what made KISS great!
BTW: I thought "hear my song" just meant hearing my favorite song.
When he says I hear my song, he is saying it like the person he is talking about puts on the song that he likes best... not the singer listening to his own song. Kiss was an awesome experience. My first concert in 1976. They were fantastic! Gene really put on a show! This song came out that same year... 1976. I was made for loving you was a great song and so was Calling Dr. Love, Black Diamond, you really cant go wrong with anything they did.
This was written about a fan who died on the way to one of their concerts
Kiss is a lot of things, but MOSTLY they're a party band. And this is one band you can listen to live without worry, as they had an incredible work ethic of making sure every song was perfect before they'd do it live, and they didn't improvise like most bands do.
You're thinking too much homie. It just means his favorite song.
My favorite KISS song! 🔥⚡⚡⚡
Have you ever been in your car , and one of your jams comes on and you're like HELL YEAH! This is what this song is about.
I don’t care where you are, this song needs to be played LOUD 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The 70's was MUCH MORE than just disco. There was rock, hard rock, glam rock, soft rock, contemporary and country.
Gotta love the drums by Peter Chris.Lex is a closet headbanger.Love it!!!!
That's not Peter Criss on drums , most of the songs are Anton Fig on drums, He was the drummer for David Letterman's Late Nite Show Band. He was also the drummer on all of Ace Frehley's early solo band. Also Ace did not play a lot of the solos on the Destroyer album, It eas one of the Kuilick brothers.
@@SM-ri2df nope. Its peter criss. Dont talk about what you dont know. Producer bob ezrin complemented peter on his hard work on this album
Sabbath was from England, KISS was from New York. KISS had a duel guitar attack, but Ace Frehley was usually lead. Aint nuthin like an Ace Frehley solo!
FIRST... BIG TIME KISS FAN!
Don't you guys have a song that is "your song"? It isn't literal. Every white chick didn't write "don't stop believing"... :)
1:18 BRAD IS SHOCKED THAT LEX WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS! LOL News flash Brad, your girl NEVER pays attention to lyrics! lol! She just grooves to the music. You are the Vulcan, Brad, not Lex! lol!
"My Song"... That was our way of saying "my Jam"... My Favorite Song.
I’d recommend you listen to the studio album version and let it play into the next song, it’s about a kiss fan going to a kiss concert and crashing on the way, killing him, I think when he says “I hear my song on the radio” it’s in the point of view of the kiss fan, it’s dedicated to him, he’s talking about getting drunk and high and speeding and crashing, dark but lit ass song
Sabbath late 60’s
Kiss ‘71
You missed the car crash at the end
Song cut off
Kiss was the biggest musical act on the planet mid 70’s
Paul Stanley said: "On a previous tour somebody had gotten hit by a car and killed outside the arena. I remember thinking how weird it is that people can be on their way to something that's really a party and a celebration of being alive, and die in the process of doing it. So that became the basis of the lyric."
They made several different type sounds in the 70s, KISS, that is
yes, if you listen to the original version from the Destroyer album, they have an intro that really sets the stage for this piece. And Kiss has about 20 albums, but only one song written about a city - Detroit was where they made thier first breakthru... so this is a tribute to us Detroit fans.
I'm gonna keep saying it... Roads by Portishead PPPLLLLEEEEAAASSSSEEE!! Keep up the great videos 😃✌️
Lex is gonna flip out ! :P
@@TheAnonJohn indeed, such an amazing, beautiful song 💯
You gotta check Kiss' ''I Still Love You'' live performance, that is legendary
From MTV Unplugged
YES! From Unplugged! Great vocal from Paul on that one.
Loved the video. I thought it was super cool that you were able to point to the solo sounding more simple but just overall nice. Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist, said that he would never write or play a guitar solo that he couldn't hum. It was about the melody, not the difficulty or skill it took to just "shred". Subsequently, he has some of my favorite guitar solos in history throughout different KISS songs and his own solo performances.
Wow the youth of today.
God help us all! Seriously dude. Leave the rock to lex.
Given brad's taste in solo's, i wonder if he'd like some of Maiden's more melodic solos? Like the solo from "Evil that men do".
Now, do GOD of THUNDER 🙌🏼😛
Probably the happiest sad song I’ve ever heard.
so many other incredible kiss songs you guys should check out. " I Love it Loud " , " Domino " , " War Machine " , " God of Thunder " , " God gave rock and roll to you " , " Psycho Circus " , " Within " , " You wanted the best "
Black Diamond!
KISS "CALLING DOCTOR LOVE" & "BETH"
Gotta do kiss live1975 black diamond
They are great in concert you need to watch the videos or live please
Also a great movie !!!! a must watch !!!!!
My first Kiss concert was 1977 with Motörhead opening. I couldn’t hear for hours after! Massive show and had the best time of my life! For me, you can’t beat the original four!🤘
HEY, I'm only 52 and I've "bumped" to this back in the day.
Please react to metalingus
I love KISS! I’ve been KISS ARMY since the 70s ❤️
In those days they got no respect & I never knew why!
Edit to add: I grew up in 60s & 70s & my favorite decade for music BY FAR is the 70s. BY FAR.
if you heard their signature song (Rock & Roll All Night and Party Every Day) you’d know it.
The 70s weren’t Disco until the late 70s. Prior to that it was anthem-Rock mostly. Best bangers ever imo.
Kiss had a very unique sound. There was nothing in the 70s that even remotely sounded like them. I really like their music.
“Black Diamond”
You should listen to "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos. It's a song where even the artist himself can't recreate the sound perfectly live. He stated that it's to complex but it's a masterpiece.
Layla A Clapton masterpiece play the unplugged version pretty well still trying to get the electric version down with its 20 minute solo - Solo toss up Free Bird and Layla got Stairway down pat will get the other two before I leave this earth
“C’mon and Love me”
Top comment baby
I saw them in Dallas. we had front row center tickets (as sophomores in HS). such amazing entertainers!
Love you guys. You have to check out "The Remedy" by another of Maynard's bands, Puscifer. It would make a great video.👍
“Do you Love me “
That song had one of the all time best guitar solo that I like
Probably my all time fav
KISS !!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Other Kiss songs: Strutter, Deuce, Firehouse, Heaven's on Fire and the big hit Rock and Roll All Night.
My first concert ever was KISS at Madison Square Garden in NYC, July 25, 1979 !!!
W O A H
First
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Please!!!! Please!!!! Please!!!! Reaction the song...
Simple Plan - Untitled (Video official)
Kiss is my 2nd favorite. Music is good but the show is what sets them apart.
Great reaction, Kiss use to be my favorite band for years and is still very high on my list, also Kiss was my first ever concert in 2004 in Detroit
Would like more Kiss Reactions
Also this song is from 1976
And they have multiple different sounds because for most of their songs Paul Stanley (the singer in this one and the Rhythm Guitarist) or Gene Simmons(Bassist) are the lead singer, but they do have other songs where Ace Frehley(Lead Guitarist) and Peter Criss(Drummer) are the lead singer as well
Brad, If you like low key guitar solos you guys should react to "Love Bites" by Def Leppard. Steve Clark RIP, was an amazing guitarist and although this solo is both short and slow, it captures the essence of the song better than most solos do.
Gene Simmons. Bassist
Paul. Stanley. Rythem. Guitarist
Ace. Fraley. Lead. Guitar
Peter. Criss. Drunmer
You guys have to react to God of Thunder by KISS........it's definitely darker.
Grew up listening to KISS back in the 90s, my parents old cassettes and then eventually the box sets they got for me. Beth is still the shit.
great song....written by Bob Ezrin though....KISS played and recorded it, but Bob wrote it. HAIL KISS ARMY!!!!!
If you want the KISS experience, watch Black Diamond.

Please watch the movie Detroit Rock City starring Edward Furlong from Terminator 2
