Kevin Dudley I think that’s why he was so influential as a player. He took the Geezer Butler approach of doing his own thing and not just playing a low end version of what Paul was playing.
In the 70s rock bass players were more creative than in the 80s, that was the rule, with excetions without dubt. Motown, Jazz and another influences were too common pkaces in the rich and colourfull 70s music. Disco, funk, and hard rock, were not so far apart in his roots. In the 80s and beyond, all the new stuff was encapsulated and metal bass lines were allways one with the guitar riffs. That was trend. Monolithic sound but not so creative.
Gene laid down basic, simple bass lines. His genius is in his simplicity. He doesn't try to get all fancy or end up lost in the guitar mix, he fall right into the perfect spot of the song.
I play Kiss but I also play jazz and spacerock things. Its just a whole world of differences, in jazz you just play walking lines or you just show off while in my hardrock band im just your basic bassist (exept for the faxt that I play fretless).
Garegh62 Kiss itself became sell-outs in 1979 when they switched from Rock to Disco because it was more popular at the time, and after they released Creatures of the Night they got rid off the very thing (along with their music) that made them famous, their on stage image, their act. I think that dropping the make-up was a publicity stunt because all through out the 70's people wondered what they looked like without the make-up.
@cx2055607 Kiss dropped their makeup to adjust to the times. Animalize was a Platinum album in the US, while the superior Creatures of the Night was gold.
For years now I’ve said that Gene (say what you want about him otherwise) is an immensely underrated bass player. Usually when I do, people (unless they’re musicians, usually) give me this “I’ve lost all respect for you” look. But I stand by it. The guy can play. Great job on this vid!
Gene Simmons is an excellent bass player. His onstage showmanship and gimmick have gotten so much attention most people dont realize the man is a killer bassist. In my view, highly underrated
Those who think Gene Simmons isn't a good bass player just can't get past his enormous ego to actually listen to his bass lines...or obviously don't know anything about bass or even music for that matter. Is he the best? Not by any means,but a very solid bass player that does exactly what a bass player is supposed to do.
To the people saying this and that, I think the dude is basically letting it be known that Gene Simmons is the most underrated bass player of all time. No special tones, etc.. just raw bass.. Great job Bruno.. Kiss Army Boston, MA
A fraction of the recognition? He doesn't get any. Nobody is saying Gene is even that good when in fact, he is pretty damn good. What are you talking about?
?? Anyone who actually plays bass knows Gene is a very solid player. Plus, he can sing great, stomp around in 8" heels, spit blood, breathe fire and bed Shannon Tweed. Listen to Hotter Than Hell and get back to us. One of the best hard rock bassists ever.
Hello I've been playing bass for many years. Your great. Gene simmons is why I picked up a bass to begin with. Love your classical stratavarious piece and your Steve Harrisburg tribute also Sonicboom.Amazing.
People like myself get caught up in the great guitar sounds of rock bands like Kiss (Ace F.) but Gene did contribute legendary bass sounds to Kiss. Nice video.
Great job man! Gene is often overlooked for his bass playing because he sings smashing lead vocals too, but he’s actually one of the greatest bass players ever! Great collection of hits here, with amazing playing! 🤘🏻🎸👍🏻
i think not even gene believes how great and creative musician he actually is. simple bass lines, but not poor. and hes a very good singer with an impecable sense of interpretation. i like him
mooch514 when KISS started he was a pretty good bass player. but when Kiss became huge he became "Gene Simmons" the character and less of Gene Simmons the bass player...
@@alwaysopen7970 I've always play the song without a pick. I consider myself a classic bass player. Even though Gene was a big influence on me, I think Cliff Burton had more to do with how I played.
awesome! im mainly a guitar player now, but i started out on bass. and it was was cuz i loved the bass line in Detroit Rock City. all the 70s KISS is what i started out learning on bass. i've been telling people Gene Simmons is/was a great bassist. maybe not technically great, but he always had good grooves and melodies. LOVE old KISS. my only complaint with this medley is the lack of GOIN' BLIND! Dude, that's like my favorite KISS bass tune!!!.
I learned a lot about playing bass from Kiss and Rush LPs in the mid 70s. Geddy is far more technically proficient in every way and harder to cover whereas Gene was more pop rock. Guess which style went over in clubs and got us back for more gigs?
Simmons plays like shit. Lick it up? I'd tear my thumbs off before playing that trash. Glam rock wankers with good marketing. Play some claypool you hack.
Das_Bobster 7 I can appreciate Claypool as anyone should. Just as Wooten, Jaco, Manring and Jamerson and Dunn deserve respect and acclaim. BUT, Simmons is an important bassist. Why? Because he influenced more people to even pick up the bass than so many others. Claypool makes people say, “That’s awesome but I couldn’t do that!” Simmons made them say, “I love that sound. Maybe I could do that too!” More bass players is a good thing and some of those go on to tackle what Claypool can do or at least give it a college try. I cannot knock Simmons’ bass playing at all even though it’s easy to point to many who are technically more proficient.
Dang, this guy knows his bass lines. Well done, Bruno, very well done. No doubt, Gene is flattered. Took the wife to meet him, she has an Axe. Very nice man, Gene Simmons very cool. Had to make sure our meal was comped. Didn't expect that :-)
Bruno, such a good job. So nice to see someone highlighting the melodic bass lines of Gene Simmons and you even got an axe bass to do it! Keep up the good work.
Gene is definately one of the finest rock bass players in the world. Remember he does it while wearing 20 pounds of gear, jumping all over the stage (ok not so much these days) and singing. There are very few players IN THE WORLD that could play these lines while singing.
It's really simple: his attitude and his band. He really tends to act like a jackass and a shill. He seems to care more about business and spectacle than actual music, all while worshipping the stank of his own dick. Too bad, Simmons knows how to play bass simple and to the point, something sorely lacking these days in rock and metal. KISS are one of the biggest sellouts in rock, if not the biggest. They went far from their early days of rock through to what could easily be called radio rock and finally bland disco pop rock garbage. It made them money, sure, it's their work and own it, certainly, but it doesn't sit well with people.
Gene not gettng credit for his bass playing chops is sort of his own doing at times. He creates the illusion that he doesn't take his playing as serious as he does on his many business enterprises. But thats obviously not true just by that medley Bruno so aptly played. Gene is a damn fine bassist,and anyone that appreciates solid rhythm will attest to that.
The biggest reason alot of people don't like him is because he's so opinionated and wants things done to his specific way he see's things, right along with his big ego as well.
Donal Finn yea I agree with you a lot. I do think a lot of Kiss (or former) fans have their own reasons for hating him. I heard Terry Gross from NPR interview him and he came across like an abrasive sexist pig if that's all you knew about him. But, If you know more about him it seems obvious he gets insulated when you have a chance to interview him and the questions revolve around his tounge and how many women he banged in the 70s. Yea there's a time and place but NPR listeners may have cared more about the school he funds in some impoverished place or his experiences as an Israeli refugee or the books he's read or languages he speaks. So some people probably rub him the wrong way and what they get in return is what everyone else sees about him. I've heard things from him that lead me to think he's probably a very deep emotional caring person.
Nice playing young fella. I like the your tone and the way you brought the bass out in the mix. Gives me a better appreciation of the role the bass plays in music. Nice.
Gene is a good, solid player. Very under-rated. No, Geddy Lee's job is secure and Gene wasn't top of the list when The Who needed a bassist to replace John Entwistle but, he's good for the type of no frills rock Kiss does.
Do a search for isolated bass tracks for Beatles songs - most of Paul M's lines are pretty boring compared to Gene, even though the Beatles were considered musicsl geniuses. These bass lines are really alive and fun.
LOVE IT. The key changes between some songs erked me, but you performed the bass lines really well. I love how you went RIGHT for the main riff of some songs. Gene is a good bassist! And so are you!
Cort basses suck. How many of them do you see in the hands of "real" musicians? I much prefer my Warmoth P-J bass over a Cort anything. Same pup configuration but yuckkk.
A lot of people I've seen playing "Detroit Rock City" don't realize that the 1st and 3rd down scale runs during the verse are different than the 2nd and 4th.
Not trying to be a noisy person. But however, how much does a bass like that cost. I'm interested in purchasing one. I'm a huge Gene Simmons fan. You did a great job by the way. Very good. Thanks for posting this video.
Last I saw an official replica of his axe bass is $1500. However, I've heard there's a Chinese company online putting them out at under $200. Don't know how good it would sound if it had cheap hardware and pick-ups?
Nice video! For remembering that Gene is very creative on his bass lines. But I think it was forgotten Goin Blind, one of his best and beautiful bass lines. Congrats for the great work
John Taylor from Duran Duran was a better bass player. ua-cam.com/video/Hr3HCNIgv40/v-deo.html Stuart Hamm was better than both of them. ua-cam.com/video/nnq3ZW6OyTI/v-deo.html
People often forget how melodic Gene was especially on Kiss' 70's stuff. He often played lines that were independent of what the guitars were doing.
that's what I dug too,those obscure parts he would interject.
Gene's very underrated as a bass player. He's one of the reasons I started playing as a teen.
I love gene's bass lines, they're so distinct and Have the soul of the song
Kevin Dudley I think that’s why he was so influential as a player. He took the Geezer Butler approach of doing his own thing and not just playing a low end version of what Paul was playing.

This was Robert Trujillo’s audition for a Kiss cover band.
Underrated comments
But why doesn't his bass hang just one inch over the floor as usual?
Impossible, there's no crab walk
lol fine joke....rob is more fun ...that guy play and is like a teachers pet....he must play dead kennedy's...to have rock roll in right place
Yup in between suicidal tendencies and Metallica lol little known fact

Not by any means,but a very solid bass player that does exactly what a bass player is supposed to do.
The first guy to make us kids WANT to be bassists over guitarists.
Or les claypool
NamesMud les and I are both old. ;)
Nope, Geddy Lee. And after 40 years, I'm still bloody trying.

Most underrated ? Really? There a lot of bassists that are much better than Gene but get a fraction of the recognition.
A fraction of the recognition? He doesn't get any. Nobody is saying Gene is even that good when in fact, he is pretty damn good. What are you talking about?
Gene is not even considered an ok bassist by most. Kudos to this kid, he plays nice.
?? Anyone who actually plays bass knows Gene is a very solid player. Plus, he can sing great, stomp around in 8" heels, spit blood, breathe fire and bed Shannon Tweed.
Listen to Hotter Than Hell and get back to us. One of the best hard rock bassists ever.
Beats Nikki Sixx any day
Nice job there young fella........Gene has always been an underrated musician.....thank you for giving him the respect his musicianship deserves.
Love Gun bass - P. Stanley
danae66 Psycho Circus was Bruce
I was made for lovin you was played by Paul too
Even detroit rock City
Gene does play them live
@@r.o.dd.o.r.3615 No Gene plays Detroit
Great work!! I'm glad you included 100,000 years as I believe that is Gene's most iconic and hypnotising Bass line of all time!!
Parasite also
The bass line in "100,000 Years" is amazing!
The sounds you get out of that bass are amazing; guitars, drums, even vocals!
FAF!
Gene is what he is: a solid rock bass player - which is all he needs to be for Kiss
That's the great thing about KISS I love the bass sticks out i can hardly ever hear the bass in alot of other bands!
Some of the best bass lines in Rock History.Instantly recognizeable from a catalouge of terrific songs.
Gene is a very underrated bassist.
Goin blind is probably his best bass line.
And love it loud...
100,000 Years
Maybe 100,000 years!!
This video is great but it’s a travesty that goin blind isn’t included in a best of gene Simmons medley
Indeed ✌
Hello I've been playing bass for many years. Your great. Gene simmons is why I picked up a bass to begin with. Love your classical stratavarious piece and your Steve Harrisburg tribute also
Sonicboom.Amazing.
Genes craziest base line is I was made for loving you it’s hard as fuck to play.
I found Detroit Rock City and 100.000 Years harder personally.
Where do i buy the axt Bass
where is shure know somthing?
I believe Paul played the bass on that song.
Paul also played bass on Love Gun, and Bruce Kulick played it on Psycho Circus, but those are both here, too.
David C paul didint play Bass on Love gun and Gene did bass on Psycho Circus
Garegh62 i just reported you for Harassment i never did anything to you
Roey Ben Uri, best bass in any kiss song
Bravo 👏
Notice how early on his playjng style showed more talent then the 80s and beyond. He went away from the walking bass to just a Strummer
People like myself get caught up in the great guitar sounds of rock bands like Kiss (Ace F.) but Gene did contribute legendary bass sounds to Kiss. Nice video.
Great job man! Gene is often overlooked for his bass playing because he sings smashing lead vocals too, but he’s actually one of the greatest bass players ever! Great collection of hits here, with amazing playing! 🤘🏻🎸👍🏻
nice tone man!
I've been a KISS fan since college and this proves what an underrated bass player Gene Simmons is!
Fantastic! Was a bit disappointed that 'Sure Know Something' wasn't in there but I guess you can't put them all in! haha
Can only imagine how uncomfortable Gene's Bass is to sit down and play with
Where's the "Dinosaur Bends"?...LOL!
Dude, great clip but you forgot "goin blind" great bass riff there.
Once again, great vid!
Nathan Ellis
Sure Know Something
Love Theme From Kiss
Plaster Caster hahaha
Fantastic cover
Muito bom!
Senti falta de "Naked City" - as linhas de baixo desse som são demais!
Tava rolando os comentários procurando justamente quem estivesse sentindo falta de Naked City e Sure Know Something.
good work Gene is very accurate and play really with strong feeling
i think not even gene believes how great and creative musician he actually is. simple bass lines, but not poor. and hes a very good singer with an impecable sense of interpretation. i like him
Fun fact...it's Paul who plays bass on Love Gun and IWMFLY. I'd add Watchin' You to this list.
What was the second one?
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 I Was Made For Lovin You.
I thought it was ace on love gun
Gene claims it was Paul. Paul claims it was Gene. Honestly, we don’t know.
@@meichey00 Ace played Bass on Torpedo Girl off Unmasked
Great nice cover
Very impressive help me understand Genes contribution more.
Got to love the I was Made for Loving You baseline! I like his bass playing on Going Blind and Sure Know Something.
Gene tem linhas legais de baixo e é um ótimo músico.
Gosto bastante da linha de Plaster Caster também
I know and love all those kiss song
yes...playing with finesse is key! great job!
I was expecting for crazy crazy nights. Brother you can make another video on that particular song.
3:13 …. why skip the bass fill, its a key part of that riff imo. ...
97warlock ismyname I said the same thing. It bothered me when he didn’t play it.
Awesome job... “100,000 Years” was always my favorite...
Gene simmons is a better bass player than he gets credit for...he doesnt care what anyone thinks.
mooch514 when KISS started he was a pretty good bass player. but when Kiss became huge he became "Gene Simmons" the character and less of Gene Simmons the bass player...
and your an idiot
Too bad he's a complete asshole
mooch514 yeah hes got phat basslines. i wish he cared more about the music than the theatrics. he could be so much better
Ehmmm... Gene has pre-recorded bass lines for the shows
Nice playing Bruno 👍👍
At first I thought you were only playing the easy Kiss stuff, then the difficulty increased. My favorite kiss song to play on Bass was Parasite.
Fabulous playing, Bruno! Amazing bassist! Thanks for sharing--:-)
Detroit Rock City would take a lot of work to get down that's not an easy one on bass.
Play it without a pick. Geddy would.

Nice job.
Always loved Simmons bass playing
Gene Simmons is a perfectly fine bass player and I can’t stand when people dis him
It's just jealously because hes a businessman, a great marketer, musician, showman. Extremely intelligent etc. Yes a very underrated bass player.
It's really simple: his attitude and his band.
He really tends to act like a jackass and a shill. He seems to care more about business and spectacle than actual music, all while worshipping the stank of his own dick. Too bad, Simmons knows how to play bass simple and to the point, something sorely lacking these days in rock and metal.

What? Lol you're joking right?
No I'm not joking!!! Anyone who disagrees with me doesn't have an ear for bass licks.
@@amandaaiman7383 lol I guess however to me his skills always seemed rudimentary at best
Maybe, but he is still as amazing on bass as he was when he started with the band.
Great job and feel.

Great video! I never knew how groovy Gene Simmons was when it came to the bass guitar.
Gene rocks, so does this guy :)
He Does
Yep :)
Te felicito sinceramente. Muchos pensaron que Gene nunca hizo un trabajo digno en el bajo y tú demostraste que no. Bravo!!!

Why do people tend to dislike Gene Simmons ?
They focus on the character and the ego, and they base their opinion on prejudice.
well he seems like a pretentious asshole

I met him on my way to a Kiss show in the '80s. He was a complete dick. I'm assuming THAT'S why people don't like him.
Very good job Sir, well done. I think just goes to show how versatile his playing and songwriting was!
Gene always had catchy, melodic bass lines.
8 years late but the fact that sure know something isn’t here is a crime
sos un capo Bruno, los que pusieron dislike tienen aserrin en la cabeza
