When KISS released the single of DETROIT ROCK CITY, the "B" side was BETH. The band thought it was just a throw away song. Radio DJ's flipped the record over and played BETH instead. The song exploded and became a huge hit. The unplugged version with acoustic guitars is awesome as well.
Soft 70s rock
That's the video from phantom of the park poolside that is shown here.....the acoustic version is really the best part of the film imho.
Brad & Lex, Like I said previously, “Beth” is just Kiss member Peter Criss on vocals, a pianist, an acoustic guitarist and the NY Philharmonic Orchestra. Their highest charting song at #7.
Beautiful with Orchestra and acoustic. Makes me cry!
And Peter's ego skyrocketed cause "he wrote it". But he didn't, his demo "Beck" has none of the qualities of the end result. Bob Ezrin is the real star. Always loved Peter's voice though (and his jazzy, grooving drum style)
@@DaP84 correct. He couldn’t write period. That song also dated back to his old band and another musician named Stan Penridge. He was an average drummer on his best days and a terrible one on his worst. Both drummers that followed him in the band were much more talented. Eric Carr and Eric Singer
How appropriate that this is their highest charting song because it is the ONLY good song they ever did
@@reallymysterious4520 you are entitled to your opinion.
But it makes me wonder just EXACTLY how many songs from KISS you have actually listened to.
Beth is the drummer (Peter Cris) wife!! I love this song!!!
I snuck out of my house when I was 16 to go to a Kiss concert with my boyfriend. I didn’t tell my mom until I was in my 30’s! She laughed and told me she knew all about it!
They always know
You believed nobody checked on you for that many hours?
Did you graduate? 🤔
@@outdoorsman7324 I’m sure my brother ratted me out. Class of 82!
@@jennyjenny4501 , Your parents likely knew you were gone before you even got to any concert. 🙄
Rock on, mom!!!🤘🏼
wow. great video. thx. I was the worlds biggest kiss fan in 1976. (I was 9 yrs. old) its hard to believe I haven't heard this in 45 years.
It was thought to be a throw away song and turned out to be one of their biggest hits. KISS fans love it.
Peter Criss also sings their over hit: Hard Luck Woman. Not a KISS fan but it’s one of my all time favorite songs
Same
Mine too Rob! Keep requesting reaction for that too.
A Paul Stanley song he wrote and was going to see if Rod Stewart wanted to record it but ended up having Criss sing it
Rob....u dont like any of their songs?? Well guarantee u would love going to one of their concerts!
Didn't know he sang that
Peter Ciss's voice was PERFECT for this song. Just perfect. I'm pretty sure he played piano; no drums, either.
My song from kiss! Matter of fact, never ever liked any of their other music! Just this one and it has a real wonderful memory from when I first heard it. Working nite crew, it was lunchtime & what's open all nite...here in San Diego, back in mid-70's, JacK-In-The-Box down the street! Co-worker drove &she turned on the radio...BETH started playing. It was raining, the little wipers on her VW were barely working, but, drove, bought our tacos...and went back to work...2am! Always think of that when the is played...still remember her&the rain &the lunch 47 years later. Rock on!
"They have a soft side" - This song was originally written to make fun of another band member (Peter Criss's previous band 'Chelsea') because his wife 'Becky' was always calling and interrupting band sessions asking when her husband would be home.
Peter Criss originally pitched it to the band as a faster paced song but this is what it turned out to as. It's also disputed that Peter Criss actually wrote the lyrics. His friend Stan Penridge who was also in Chelsea most likely wrote almost all of it and Peter Chris had a very minor role in the writing. KISS producer Bob Ezrin composed it and polished up of the lyrics.
From Wikipedia - In his autobiography, Simmons recounted that "I have never seen [Criss] compose a single song. Peter might have contributed a line or two of the lyrics, but after listening to Penridge's original demo, it's clear who made the original song". Paul Stanley agreed with Simmons but Criss says they are just jealous that it's his song and not one of theirs.
Stan Penridge wrote this song. Penridge used to be my neighbor so I have lots of inside info on all things Kiss. Peter also lived 15 miles away from me for a time. Him and Ace would hang out at open mic nights at this small backwoods bar on weekends.
@@magna116 I agree. One of the main defenders of Criss is his wife so that's where I have great skepticism. I have no problem with wifes, girlfriends or whoever telling their story but they almost always tell a very favorable story of their man and give backhanded replies to the rest of the band. First hand information can be sketchy enough. Second hand information shouldn't be trusted at all.
Gene Simmons always has his mouth moving so much about Gene Simmons that I doubt Gene Simmons does a lot of writing himself either
The song that really got KISS started. Beth!
This was KISS's attempt to show the world they are more than just a rock band. This song is good, but their best lighthearted,soft rock song by far is "Hard Luck Woman".
Great song and Forever was a big hit too..
Also by Peter Criss, if I’m not mistaken.
110% agree….
A song originally written for Rod Stewart, if I remember correctly. Hard Luck Woman that is....
And both songs were with Peter singing 👍🏻👍🏻
Every rock band had their ballad.
In 1977 I attended,with my mom and sister, my very first concert.It was Kiss and Alice Cooper.Kiss had all four original members in '77 and they were hugely popular all over the world.My sister used to always listen to this song and also Hard Luck Woman.
I always loved this song, it was one of the first songs i heard from Kiss when it came out.
This MV is primarily from the Movie Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Park 1978. I was a cult classic, and never taken seriously except for true Kiss fans.
I own a copy of it on VHS lol haven't pulled the VHS player out to watch it in a minute. but I can at least say, I own it. lol
Beth is the only song that they scored a Grammy Award for the band in 1976. I never saw Kiss in their heydays but was fortunate enough to finally see them in 2019 End of the Road Tour. Kiss is known to put on a stage show with lasers, pyrotechnic displays and they certainly did not disappoint. Beth is their soft side, and they did have a couple of other ballads, but Beth is their creme of the crop of rock ballads.
Peter Criss is the reason that I started playing drums when I was 12 years old. Thank you for sharing this song!!!
Great classic song by KISS.
About being away from his wife while doing his job.
Reminds me of the song by Journey, "Faithfully" about being away from loved ones while on the road making music.
Greatest KISS song ever!!!
KISS has an AMAZINGLY long list of great songs...but "Beth" will always be my favorite, ever since I first heard it in the 70's!
KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park... lol what a movie lol. Love this song.
This was off of their “destroyer” album and was a “B” side track to the single “Detroit rock city”. I used to sing this to my wife when i called her while I worked on the road. (Her name is Elizabeth)
Good ballad from Kiss
Ignore the video.......it was added many years later.
A highlight of every show was when drummer, Peter Criss, would step up to the front of the stage, sit down on a stool and sing this.......the girls loved it!
This song is essentially a Peter Criss solo song. None of the other band members played on it. He’s backed by an orchestra and piano.
One of the greatest ballad's, from one of the greatest bands!!
This is one of the best love songs ever written! My favorite kiss song is heavens on fire, but this song here is something special.
It was actually a song written by the drummer to his wife. The wife would constantly call inquiring when will the band finish with rehearsal. Sometimes the band was booed at concerts but the female fans adored the music & words.
I remember calling the radio station back in 1976 to request this song. 45 years later I finally got to see them for the first time. Bucket list... check!
Woooow
This was my first concert in 1977. I played my Dad this song, because he wanted to hear their music! I was 14 years old.
Kiss are full of surprises
This video is from the movie "KISS Meets The Phantom"
Such a bad, cheesy movie, I love it so much!
My wife named our daughter after this song she liked it that much
The song makes me sad. I used to date a musician and this was our song. It's a beautiful tune.
Lol! Basically he's telling Beth too bad, so sad!
The footage is from the movie, "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park." If you want to see some great concert footage with the original lineup it is worth watching. If you want to see a decent movie... it's not.
As I understand: It was originally released on the "B" side of the 45 record, as the throw away song to the "A" side (primary song). As I recall: A female D.J. on the radio brought the 45 record home. And her daughter express to her mother (the D.J.) how much she liked the song "Beth". The daughter keep playing it over and over. So the mother decided to put it in the rotation, at the (Chicago?) radio station. The response was so great, that the band "Kiss" took notice, and decided to re-release it as the "A" side 45 record. Then it climbed its way up the charts to number 7. (As I recall).
“Beth” was the B side, “Detroit Rock City” was the A side.
Kiss had a few more ballads up their sleeves in the later years. One being "Forever", which I think is their second highest charting single and only other top ten hit. If I'm correct, that one was co-written with Michael Bolton. They have another one I'm keen on called "Every Time I Look At You".
Correct
My first KISS album; Destroyer. From a junior high age at the time, this was excellent, from first to last. And I LOVED this song. This was THEEE slow dance song at dances at the time.
Role Models. One of my favorite comedies.
My fav song by them, I think its their biggest hit. Peter Criss has a great, gravely voice.
Sung by Peter Chriss the drummer, good memories.😊
Kiss was great to see in concert!
This is probably my favorite kiss song!
The video is from their 1978 movie "KISS meets the Phantom of the park" ✌💖☮
Brad and Lex- y’all gotta hear Paul
Stanley singing “I still love you.” Talk about vocals! Then there Ace Frehly (sp)(another band member) an his funky groove song “New York Groove.”
I can't believe the love this song is getting here. Every Kiss fan HATED this song, back in the day and now.
This is the best song by Kiss.
This song was written about one of the girlfriends, whose name was actually Rickie, but the band thought a more female sounding name was better suited for the song. One of my favorite Kiss songs, kind of out of their wheelhouse, is their cover of, "And Then She Kissed Me." That song set the template for metal bands like Van Halen covering earlier rock-and-roll songs.
Loving Brad's take on this.
Pretty much how I felt.
Still beautiful. ❤👍🏽
THIS was the jam back in the day... this video was taken from a movie as there was no official video for the song. KISS 🤙
Written by Peter Criss, Stan Penridge and Bob Ezrin. Criss and Penridge wrote a lot of songs together. Also worked together on Peter Criss's Kiss Solo album in 1978. They were both in the band Chelsea that Criss played in before joining Kiss. Penridge died in 2001 age 50. RIP. On the second Kiss album Hotter Than Hell Ace Frehley wrote the song Strange Ways. Sung by Peter Criss. It's quite a heavy early Kiss song
Great reaction to the great song "Beth". Spin the song right after Beth and you'll get the KISS that you're used to. Be sure to tighten your seatbelts first! Lol 🤘🎸 "Do You Love Me" 🥁🎶
This song brings back memories.Kiss was my first band I saw in concert
Best Kiss song ever. True story. 😆
Kiss were trying to be the beatles with makeup, with all 4 members writing and singing songs.
My favorite song from Kiss. I was never a big Kiss fan, never could take them seriously but this was a great song.
they have a few love ballad songs " Kiss - Every Time I Look At You"
Casablanca Records released "Beth" in August 1976 as Destroyer's fourth single. The album, released on March 4, peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200, but quickly began to decline. Its first two singles, "Shout It Out Loud" and "Flaming Youth", failed to match "Rock and Roll All Nite" - until then the group's most successful song in the United States - and Casablanca Records executives had to choose another song from the album to release as a single. Casablanca president Neil Bogart asked promoter and disc jockey Scott Shannon for his honest opinion on which of Destroyer's tracks was a potential hit. To his surprise, Shannon chose "Beth", although Bogart asked him to forget it because he felt the song had only been included as a favor to Peter Criss. In the face of Bogart's refusal, Shannon contacted vice president Larry Harris, who revealed that Bogart disliked "Beth" because it was his ex-wife's name and he felt the lyrics reflected the process of their divorce.
Before the release of the third single, Bogart took a vacation in Acapulco, but not before giving the order to release "Beth" as the B-side of the next single, in order to reduce its chances of commercial success. During Bogart's absence, "Detroit Rock City" was released as a single, accompanied by "Beth", and was sent out to radio stations. To the bewilderment of the Casablanca executives, the jockeys chose to broadcast "Beth".[17] The song soon became one of the most requested by listeners, and Harris made the decision to reissue the single with "Beth" as side A. One significant contributor to "Beth"'s popularity was Rosalie Trombley, at the time the music director at "The Big 8" CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, immediately across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. Trombley's daughter had a copy of "Detroit Rock City", but was hooked on "Beth" and convinced Trombley to add it to CKLW's playlist. After "Beth" became a hit, Kiss presented Trombley's daughter with a gold record.[18] Upon Bogart's return, he was forced to accept the situation due to the song's positive commercial reception. "Beth" reached #7 on the US chart, the best in Kiss' career, and achieved a gold record certification from the RIAA on January 5, 1977. The impact of the song boosted Destroyer's sales and enabled the album to go platinum. "Beth" received the award for Favorite Song at the 1977 People's Choice Awards.
The song's television debut was on The Paul Lynde Halloween Special on October 29, 1976, where Criss lip-synced a shortened version of the song while miming on piano. Live, "Beth" was performed by Criss alone on stage backed by a tape of the instrumental track. The acoustic version featured on Kiss Unplugged is the only recording with members of Kiss solely backing up Criss. The version of "Beth" featured on the group's 2003 Kiss Symphony: Alive IV DVD and subsequent album would be the only time the song was performed live with an ensemble. In 2010, the song was performed live for the first time with Eric Singer on acoustic guitar during their Sonic Boom Over Europe Tour and again on their The Hottest Show on Earth Tour in 2011. It has since been again removed from setlists, but the band occasionally performs the song at meet and greet sessions. On the 2019 End of the Road World Tour, the song has been performed by Singer, miming it on the piano.
It is odd them having their makeup on for this song. But no one knew what the band members really looked like back then. "Beth" was released in 1976. It wasn't until September 1983 that they finally revealed their faces.
It is perfectly okay to be wrong about a guess, you honestly didn't know. It's fine. This was fun. :)
This song been rewrote some of the words have changed this song comes from Peter Criss old band Chelsea titled Beck then! A rough cut demo is on You Tube Chelsea song Beck!
They have several great power ballads. Check out Forever and Reason To Live.
I have always loved this song 🎵 ❤️
Beth And I Was Made For Loving You.The most Diverse Kiss Song's EVER Yet 2 Of Their Best !! Period !!!
This is KISS's highest charting song, and also probably one of their most hated. 😆
Kiss is one of those weird bands that almost EVERYBODY vocally hates whatever they choose to do, yet somehow still manage to become one of the best-selling rock acts of all time.
@@Ambaryerno Because they have a killer marketing team. Otherwise, KISS is honestly for the most part mediocre as hell. But that said, a lot of killer bands and musicians became musicians because of KISS
@@neilpatrickhairless Their ballads are fantastic. God Gave Rock And Roll, Beth, Reason to Live, Forever, etc. and they've put out some FANTASTIC straight up rock material.
They've also put out a lot of duds, but when you consider just how long they've been at it and just how many albums they've put out (something like 30 between their studio and live work) it's almost a given.
Hell, most metal fans have hated everything Metallica has put out since the 90s, yet they'll still viciously defend the band itself.
I've heard this song since I was a kid in the 80s. Dad is a rock n roller guitar player, taught me since I was a kid so I could be a rock n roller. For almost 30 years I've been singing this song as my dad strummed it out on the acoustic guitar during hippy family sing alongs😂 I love it so much and now I'm loving these reaction videos from Brad and Lex because i suddenly get to experience all these amazing songs through fresh eyes
God gave rock n roll to you, put it in the soul of everyone.
Brad for the win!!
The song seems to be about several aspects of being a superstar band. This is how they make their money, and provide for their loved ones. They need to write songs; put together the music; practice; record the song; put out an album; take it on the road and tour and sing. All that time their wives or girlfriends are left at home wondering what's going on.
And the band has to keep doing what their doing. Beth, what else can they do..?
I fucking lost it when I realized you two were watching KISS Meets Phantom of the Park.
If Brad and Lex don't check out Funkadelic - Maggot Brain [HQ], Everyone here should. This song is what reaction is all about. Eddie Hazel tears your soul apart and drowns your heart in human sorrow.
One of their Best and go figure it's a Love Song.
Finally...somebody does this
Beautiful song
Omg this song brings me right back to the boys and girls club dance, with my first boyfriend Steve Zambic, I was taller than him. KISS was also my first concert I was 13, great reaction ❤
Long Distance Romance - Life when recording in the studio and life on the road. Brad nailed it. Like Journey's "Faithfully".
Peter Criss wrote this song with the producer,, Bob Ezrin,
Bob did a great job taking the little bit that Peter wrote and arranged and produced a great 70s pop ballad
This is my favorite Kiss song
I once heard in an interview that it was written as "Beck" Peter Criss wife maiden name. Changed because Gene said it would have people thinking it was for Jeff Beck
The Video part of this was from the 1978 Movie "KISS meets the Phantom of the Park". The Movie used an acoustic version, but this Video used the Soundtrack from the Album "Love Gun".
It's Rumored that Peter Criss wrote this about the guilt he felt when he had to leave his Dog at home when he had to Work.
Although Peter was kicked out of KISS, The Band Continues to play this at Concerts, with the Drummer always doing the Vocals.
Peter Criss may have rewrote this for KISS feeling guilt about his Dog, But this song was 1st recorded by Peter Criss old band before Kiss named Chelsea and was titled Beck it was wrote because one of the band members Wife Becky kept calling him to see when he was coming home!
Beth was on Detroit Rock City, not Love Gun.
@@brad6576 Destroyer
@@beaubradley2171 Yeah, why did I say Detroit Rock City? First album I ever bought with my own money.
@@brad6576 Maybe because if not mistaken Detroit Rock City is 1st song on Aside!
this song made him break into the mainstream. I was a hughe fan of KISS when I was young, I'm still, but less obessive. what I really liked about the band, apart from their stage-personas was the fact all band members had their place in the band and all four sang on the albums. Like The Beatles.This was Peter Criss, the drummer, singing.
Fun Fact:
the song was the B-Side of Detroit Rock City, Deejays in America flipped the record over so the housewives could relate to the band. It became a big hit and propelled them into the biggest stars in the world for that brief moment in time (1976 - 1978).
The footage was from their movie- Kiss Meets The Phantom.
Hard Luck Woman was another love song they did.
Got ya Kids!!! I was born in 59 so I've heard alot
WRONG , once again, Bradley. This one is just a smooth, easy on the soul, song. T Y, guys for another wicked, cool song. Such a joy to watch as you continue on this journey of discovery of our generations music. Thanks for the ride. Still watchin and diggin it from an old rock and roller outta Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Go with God. Peace.
You need to listen to "Hard Luck Woman", also sung by Peter Criss. Garth Brooks does a killer cover of it.
If you get a chance, listen/watch the live version of Kiss's "I Still Love You". Another ballad-type song. ☺💜
This song is about Elizabeth Taylor who was married to Ace Frehley from 1974-1977.
They have several mellow songs that are good... Hard luck woman, i still love you (live unplugged)... There are a few... Great reaction.
70s COUNTRY KISS
This really is a great song. Crazy that this is their biggest hit. Watch the MTV unplugged version
Forever was possibly the most romantic song they ever did, I remember an accapello version of this song as they sang to Beth, I haven't seen that in years though
Romantic? It’s a guy telling his girl he can’t see her because he has to practice with his band.
@@GeekGinger Wrong song, was talking about forever
The sound is totally different with Peter Criss singing . Check out "Hard Luck Woman" as well. Another aside- Axl Rose modeled "November Rain" after "Beth". He wanted the dramatic strings and horns, and people to be shocked by Gun's "softer" side.
I'm not a KISS fan at all however I saw them at the World Arena in Colorado Springs and the show was amazing. My brother loves them and I never understood why. They killed it.
The footage was from KISS’ 1978 movie KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park. It’s a pretty cheesy movie, but my favorite part is the end.. It involves robots and the band on stage. That’s all I’ll say in case you want to watch the movie sometime. lol
My best favorite concert ever, it was in Milwaukee in the 70s
Yes, in 1976 when this song was released, just like you are now Brad, we all thought..."This is Kiss?" "No Way!"
Kiss did it just as good as Ambrosia, Player and England Dan & John Ford Coley. The next track after Beth on the Destroyer album was Do You Love Me...a rocker about questioning groupies if they like the guys for them as people...or their status as rock stars.
Ah, 1976 all over again! Great song, big hit, the softest song Kiss ever recorded!
Do HARD LUCK WOMAN next; it’s another soft KISS song
One of the greatest Kiss songs. This was huge when it came out. Great Reaction Lex.
You have no idea how crazy it was. We had no idea who was under that makeup until they went on MTV years later without makeup.
Wasn’t a big Kiss fan, thought it all was the same, but did like this one. Thanx for playing it.. Good luck, Gods blessings for you and your baby
