  • It's your sometimes friendly Irish girl here, and today I'm going to be reacting to a video of something new to me. Specifically, I'm going to be reacting to their first time hearing and seeing Kiss perform "I Was Made For Lovin' You" live.
    Now, as an Irish girl myself, I have to say that Kiss is a band that's been around for a long time, and they've definitely made an impact on the rock scene. So, I'm excited to see who Kiss are and what they're about. .... Oh my god!
    Today I introduce Kiss and explain a little bit about their history. And then, the band comes out on stage, with Gene Simmons in full costume and makeup. I have to say, they definitely know how to make an entrance!
    As they start playing "I Was Made For Lovin' You," you can see them getting into it more and more.
    "I Was Made For Lovin' You" is such a classic Kiss rock anthem, and it's hard not to get swept up in the energy of the performance. I find myself tapping my foot and nodding my head along to the beat.
    As the song comes to a close, I have to agree - Kiss definitely knows how to put on a show!
    Overall, I really enjoyed watching this video. It's always fun to see people experiencing something new for the first time, and "I Was Made For Lovin' You" is such a great song introduction to the world of Kiss rock. Thanks for watching along with me, and I'll catch you in the next one!Hearing and SEEING Kiss For the First Time

    To this day, my favorite KISS story has to be when they performed a concert on Halloween in Hollywood (about 15-20 years ago) and the concert they were being driven by van back to their hotel. However this being on Sunset boulevard AND Halloween everybody was out partying and causing a virtual standstill in traffic. The band decided to get out of the van and walk back to their hotel. They were still in full makeup and costume having left the concert almost immediately after its conclusion. During the walk, nobody stopped and harassed them and they only got a few complements shouted out on how good their costumes were and they made it back to their hotel with ease because nobody realized who they really were!

      Played atop of the "green thing" , off to the side of the courtyard ( yes govn't housing and it was a power transformer enclosure heh).
      We got lots of applause for 3 songs and then the skys opened up for an epic summer down pour. Everyone scattered.

    Wow, you sure know how to pick 'em, Irish Rocker Girl! I only saw KISS one time, in October of '75 in the Cadillac high school gym, just before I joined the US Navy. The band was just starting to take off when that happened. The story of KISS in Cadillac is fascinating. The whole glam-rock schtick with the make-up and outfits led the band to create a vast array of collectible merchandise which sold very well and made the band a lot of money. Their live shows were filled with lots of theatrics: Gene spitting fire, Ace's guitar giving off sparks and smoke during solos, lotsa pyrotechnics throughout. The look on your face when you recognized Gene Simmons by his tongue: simply priceless!

    When this song was released, it caused a bit of an uproar amongst Kiss fans, many of them hated the fact that their favorite hard rock band had written a disco song. It was written on a bet. Paul Stanley (the lead vocalist for this song) had bet a friend that it was easier to write a disco song than it was to write a rock song. This was the result, and he wrote it quickly, supposedly over a single weekend.

      A fair number of hits have been cranked out fast. My Sharona (The Knack) was written along a similar challenge. The writer didn't like pop music of the time because "anyone could write a top 40 song". When told to do try if it was so easy he wrote the song in about 15 minutes. I've read some reports he wrote it while sitting on the toilet. Or about as long as it takes to crap.
      According to Robert Plant, Stairway to Heaven took as long to write as it does to play.
      For all the work and creative talent musicians pour into their work, it's often throw away or filler pieces that end up defining them.

    The song that you thought might be from the band KISS sounds like the song titled "Kiss" by Prince. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was released near the end of the disco era, and was KISS's version of a disco song. Various other rock acts at the time, such as Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, and others released disco-influenced songs in the late 70s, with varying levels of artistic and financial success. Most KISS songs were heavier than this, although they also had a big hit with a soft ballad titled "Beth". Coincidentally, I attended a KISS concert around the time "I Was Made For Lovin' You" was released. In July 1979 I saw KISS at the Pontiac Silverdome (a football stadium near Detroit). I was not a big KISS fan, but I went mainly to see the band that played before them, Cheap Trick. I stayed for KISS, though. While not a fan, I don't dislike them either.

    Kiss was HUGE in their day. They had a fully constructed schtick with the make-up for their characters, who all had a back story. They had a surprisingly good catalogue of music (Detroit Rock City is likely their best known song) that sort of straddled the line between harder rock and glam.
    But their biggest impact would likely be their genius marketing strategy. They called their fanclub the KISS Army and interacted in a way that virtually no one had before. They also licensed their name/likeness for almost any and everything to an extent never thought of (everything from Pat he's to see in a jacket to lunchboxes to a coffin....yes, an actual coffin). While their lineup did change several times, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have always been the core of the band.

      I'll disagree about Detroit Rock City. The song that was on the radio all the time was Rock and Roll All Night. I listened to top 40 in 1975 and later but that song was everywhere. That was their big break out song. In 1976 they won The Peoples Choice Award for being the most popular band that year. They were in a concert when it was announced and that was the song they played on live national TV.

    I was ten years old when KISS hit their peak in the late '70s. My first rock concert was KISS with Cheap Trick opening, about two weeks before Cheap Trick's first nationwide release. I adored Cheap Trick, and fell asleep during KISS. Unfortunately, my older brother is still trying to be an adolescent and forwarding videos to me from this era.

    Ok, it was adorable that you said "That song is from "Moulin Rouge"! 😀 It also may be hard to understand, but in the 70s, we had NEVER seen anything like KISS. And we didn't know what they looked like under that make-up, so it was a total mystery! Then the rumor mill started and it just built the mystery even more!

    The repetition works better when you're at a skating rink or dancing to it. This is my generation's creme de la creme, especially this song. Desmond Child also wrote Poison for Alice Cooper, another top tier Glam Rocker, and both songs express passion, need and obsession.

    Awesome video, Diane! Good to see you experiencing KISS for the first time. I remember their songs as a kid back when music was available in the form of 8-track tapes and records. The first album my brother and I had was Double Platinum. In the late ‘70s, they all made a solo album, I had bought Ace Frehley’s (known as The Spaceman) album since he was my favorite. I also had a liking for Gene Simmons (the Demon), but gradually shifted toward Ace, the lead guitarist. The big song from his solo album was a cover of “New York Groove”.
    My brother’s favorite was Peter Criss (The Catman) who was the drummer. We did plenty of air guitar and air drums listening our albums 😂

    Being a kid of 12 in Los Angeles in 1979, I was the perfect listener, I was already a Kiss fan, and this disco track was very popular and listenable. It played at the roller rink, and the school kids would skate around in circles while this and Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me” blasted over the sound system. Good times, indeed.

    Funny thing is I pulled out some old albums to listen to today while sorting out the pool - kind of picked them randomly, and the KISS host album for this track came out first, and Jethro Tull came out second.
    I learned today that Kiss were actually a US band - I always associated them with Thin Lizzy for some reason (now that I look at their names, it's all the i's), imagining Kiss were also a UK band.

    Wasn't a big fan when KISS was at their peak while I was in high school. A friend asked me if I would drive her to Dodger Stadium for one of their concerts, she said she would buy the tickets. I passed. I finally saw them live in 2014, oddly enough at Dodger Stadium during a hockey game between the LA Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. And yes, it was a hockey game on a baseball field.
