Brad & Lex, this was another one where you've got to do the actual video & see them. KISS really needs to be seen, not just heard. That's a BIG part of the whole experience. And the lyrics of this song are so easy to understand that you can understand them without a lyric video. So don't deprive yourself!! Go & watch them!! 😀🤘🎸🎵🎶
this was the only tape I owned and never had the chance to listen too. What happened was I bought the tape and went to a friends house right after and his older brother saw that I had it and it was the only KISS tape he didn't have so he traded me FAR over value for it so he got his Kissco tape and I got 2 Megadeth tapes (w/ a trading card in rust in peace), Metallica Kill'em All Demo and Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time (I should mention this is 1992 and the only time either of us have even seen this tape, not like it was new by a long shot)
So that you understand the context, disco was wildly popular at this time. So rock acts were trying to take advantage of the craze by adding some heavy bass dance beats to their own songs. The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart etc did the same thing. A lot of hardcore rock fans hated these acts for doing this.
KISS were incredible musicians, they never get the credit for how good they really are. They have written over 400 songs, you would be amazed at how many different styles of music
I listened to KISS and liked there stuff, loved a few of their songs. Then I went to one of their shows. I was BLOWN AWAY. KISS Live is like nothing else.
To me Kiss is the greatest band in the world. I have seen them live 8 times and wish I could see them 8 more. They're the great live concert I have ever seen and I've seen alot. Must watch live to understand the greatness.
Lex hit the nail on the head. Yes Kiss is one of the greats. A truly iconic band. Hard to argue against a band that has been around for 50 + years. Enduring and sometimes thriving through the public's changing tastes in music whether it be disco, glam, hair metal, heavy metal, hard rock, or even progressive rock ("Music from the Elder" ...can't win them all.) But to truly experience the majesty of Kiss is to see them live. They put on shows like no other and have so throughout their history. Sadly time is catching up and now the best way to experience their love shows is videos on UA-cam. You should check them out when you get the chance.
I know i told you this before,but you NEED to check out some live classic 70's era KISS performances! Tokyo Japan and Houston,Tx 1977 are both great shows to choose some songs from! You can see them in all their glory with the makeup,costumes,bombs,fire,blood,hydraulic risers,confetti,pyro,etc.
A lot of rock bands were jumping on the disco wagon in those days , Kiss of course did this song , Pink Floyd did another brick in the wall, Grateful dead did shakedown street, and countless other rock bands jumped on the wagon as well...Not that , that is a bad thing in fact it gave us plenty ofgreat classics we still listen to today
Back in the 70s, they sold out coliseums on day 1. Their albums and 8-tracks flew off the shelves. They might have been the first to paint their faces, use on-stage fire, explosions, and platforms with elevation. They were even hotter in concert.
Kiss has some killer songs, try God of Thunder, Black Diamond, Cold Gin and God Gave Rock n Roll to You. Crazy show to say the least but they had the chops to pull it off. Enjoy! 🎸
I love Kiss !! Check out anything from 73 through 84.. all very solid fun catchy songs. And as others stated check out THE SHOW!! Breathing fire.. spitting blood.. smoke..lazer lights.. flying demon.. smoking guitars.. rockets flying out of guitars.. breaking guitars in half.. explosions.. big flames.. 4 guys in their character make up.... I can go on..lol.
They are one of the greatest bands of all time. Good job Lex! I've been listening to them since 1975 when I was 5 years old. They have a lot of different music that changed with the times. Please do more. You won't be disappointed!!
Paul Stanley has stated that he was a big fan of Studio 54, and he used to go there, without makeup, and dance. one night he left there went to his studio, set a drum machine to 124 beats per minute, and decided to write a "disco" song. and that's how this song came about.
Formed in 1973, KISS was one of most popular bands of the 1970s and are still out there winding down their final tour. They kept their faces hidden behind makeup. No one knew what they look like until mid-late 1980s. Their 1996 reunion tour of all 4 of the original members (Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss) grossed $143.7 million. Known for having one of the greatest stage shows in all of rock. One the most successfully bands of all-time.
This song came out in '79 as the disco era was coming to it's abrupt end. In this era, many rock artists like The Grateful Dead (Shakedown Street), Rod Stewart (Do You Think I'm Sexy), and Rolling Stones (Miss You) were making token songs that were heavily disco based. This happened to be Kiss' "disco song".
Definitely check out their live performances from 1970s to the 90’s early 2000s Reunion Tour where Audio/Visual Technology really made watching a live Kiss concert worth it.
God of Thunder, Strutter, Christine Sixteen, Beth... so many more great songs!! Kiss was my favorite bad when I was in Grade school through Junior High!!
@@pauljansen1137 and then there is also 'Hotel California' , 'American Pie' , 'Brown Eyed Girl'... oh the songs of my youth. Some good times if I do say so myself 😂
@@pauljansen1137 born in '71. My mum was 13 when Beatlemania started. So I was brought up with the 60s rock n roll, 70s glam rock. My dad brought the country n western theme. My older sister was a punk and brought me and my younger brother along fir the ride. Then I discovered Iron Maiden and that was it. Heavy Metal and Hard Rock are my first loves but there is also classical, classic rock, blues, the 80s in general and all listed before. Good music, no matter what genre, transcends all boundaries. I'm glad to have been exposed to so many great bands/artists/songs and albums.
It was actually Anton Fig who played the drums on all tracks on Dynasty except Dirty Livin' which Peter Criss played drums and sang on. I Was Made was written by Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia and Desmond Child. Paul played the bass on this song and producer Vini Poncia the synthesizers
This song came out at the height of disco. This song is often referred to as 'Kissco'. In their later live shows, they play it a little different so it sounds more rock and less disco. They once said in an interview that they did the face painting for attention and effect because at the time they were starting out, the biggest hit maker in the US was John Denver. They wanted to make a HUGE splash, and I'd say they succeeded.
This was Kiss’s answer to disco. Technically it’s disco! But rock! I enjoyed playing this in the club I worked at at the time. 1979. It was a club with bands. I would DJ during Intermission. Usually about 40 minutes twice a night and an hour before the band started!
DISCO KISSCO!!! People hate on it. But I love this song. Guilty pleasure. There. I said it. You guys nailed it. To me, KISS represents mainstream 70's Rock and Roll. They're not going to wow you with their musical virtuosity. But they know their strengths and they capitalize on their strengths consistently. They were masters at marketing and self promotion. They made bold claims saying they would put on the best show you've ever seen in concert. And in many ways, they lived up to it. They recognized they owed much of their success to their fans and they toured tirelessly for decades to get in front of as many of their fans as possible in a live setting. As a little kid, like 7 or 8 years old, the first live double album I ever purchased was KISS Alive! They had their struggles with staying together as Peter Criss and Ace Frehley both left and were replaced but Gene and Paul stayed with it and I think they earned their nickname "The Hardest Working Band In The Land." They lived the "Rock Star" life of excess and that led to Peter's departure. But they always put on a hell of a show, night after night.
Lex is sooooooo "good vibes" always smiling and enjoying the sound. Brad is more analytical. That's why this is such a nice channel. Greetings from Brazil guys.
YESSS!!!!Thank you guys for finally doing that song!!i m so glad you guys are coming around with KISS!!I know in the beginning Lex wasn’t sure about them!They are one of the greatest rock bands in history almost 50 years of success..KISS really is a great band with great songs and have a very in depth catalog!!If you want to hear a beautiful song with a-lot of depth give the song “FOREVER” a try..a softer beautifully written song!!!You will LOVE IT!!!!!!Thank you guys really love this channel!!
Been a KISS fan since '76. It amazes me how many reviewers do I Was Made For Loving You. The song is far from the band's best effort.......I agree with others that to really "get" the band, you need to see them perform live (video of course) whether with makeup or not.........I suggest for early years check out 100,000 Years or Strutter........ For years after this song, try Creatures Of The Night, I Still Love You, A Million To One.......I also suggest, from Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album Take Me Away (Together As One), or Tonight You Belong To Me.
Lex is pretty much dead on when she is describing the unique types of R&R throughout history, I'm impressed. She has the soul of a Rocker! And you can always tell it's KISS by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons vocals. Rock on, Brad and Lex!! 🎶🤘
In Paul Stanleys Book, (Paul Stanley is the singer on this song, Gene Simons who has a heavier voice sings on others, like the song 'I Love It Loud' ) Paul said in the late seventies a lot of the time he would take off the make up and go to clubs, He was listening to the music and the beats and thought, I should right a fun dance song... It is not KISS's normal sound but it still sounds like KISS if that makes any sense. Very popular song, and has a great catchy groove.
KISS always figured out a way to stay relevant since the mid 70s. and without a lot of musical talent.They mostly just had "gimmick". But I have been a fan since 6th grade.When I was young(er) KISS would play a mini concert while traveling on the back of a flat bed truck to promote a show at a nearby arena. Simmons and Stanley are master promotors.
Kiss is as much a visual experience as it is an audio one. You really need to watch this live! Seen them twice and rate them as one of the best bands to see... period.
I feel like KISS is either loved or hated. Lots of people hate them for some unknown reason but these guys have a great total package, like Lex said. The album Double Platinum, an early greatest hits, is absolutely fantastic.
How can you hate kiss. They have so many hits heavens on fire like ut up and this song are awesome. To me their better than acdc who else can make disco go hard.
Love it or hate it this was a huge hit for Kiss I!'d say their first top 40 hit. I personally love it!! I get very nostalgic when it comes to this era late '70s Disco- early 80s stuff. Btw! Really great review!! Both of you are outstanding! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
Live shows are usually the best to get a full appreciation of bands like Kiss. I would so love to see Brad let go and really enjoy the music..come on....we don't mind if you sing along :-)
Kiss was my favorite band as a lil kid in the 80s, but Pink Floyd i would say tops them noticeably. They may not have costumes, but their light shows ARE the cosmetics.
You guys gotta do more KISS! King of the Mountain, Legend tonight, Nowhere to run, Sure know something, Strutter, Creatures of the night, Loves a deadly weapon, The Oath, I’ve had enough (into the fire) Tears are fallin, Only you and so on .. great band! Awesome channel as always 👅
Paul Stanley wrote this song to prove a point. Anybody could write disco and get a hit song. Kiss wanted to expand their fan base. Granted, they lost fans over this song, but, it was a crossover hit for them. 🤘🤘🤘
This is essentially the KISS disco song. Because at the time that was the rage and they wanted to make a song people could dance to. Probably for the $$$. Lol
She just absolutely nailed it so hard... I mean she nails it. I've noticed she actually gets into dissecting certain songs but she's always on point when she does.
All 4 of them also sing lead vocals although it's primarily Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons. Check out the live version of Black Diamond with drummer Peter Criss on lead vocals.
This song will forever be catchy-as-fuck. Rock infused with disco is MY JAM!
Kiss-co
Brad & Lex, this was another one where you've got to do the actual video & see them. KISS really needs to be seen, not just heard. That's a BIG part of the whole experience. And the lyrics of this song are so easy to understand that you can understand them without a lyric video. So don't deprive yourself!! Go & watch them!! 😀🤘🎸🎵🎶
this guys do not understand his own lenguaje...!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Truth. Gotta see them performing this to see the awesome absurd contrast in look to style.
Or to put it bluntly without being politically correct: the music is too bad to listen to without seeing the video and the lyrics are silly 😁
agree 1000%. Their visual adds so much to the song they sing!!!
So true!
Their music holds up just fine on it's own...but you miss so much when you don't watch these guys in action!
Oh, yeah. Watching this done live is worth it. So cool.
This is from their dynasty album. There so called “ disco “ era . I saw them live on this tour. It was my first of many concerts. I was fourteen 🤘
this was the only tape I owned and never had the chance to listen too. What happened was I bought the tape and went to a friends house right after and his older brother saw that I had it and it was the only KISS tape he didn't have so he traded me FAR over value for it so he got his Kissco tape and I got 2 Megadeth tapes (w/ a trading card in rust in peace), Metallica Kill'em All Demo and Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time (I should mention this is 1992 and the only time either of us have even seen this tape, not like it was new by a long shot)

In retrospect those songs turned out to actually be the best of the disco genre.
Sadly true!
Another rock band, The Kinks, turned to disco: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman". It was a minor hit single, just missing the Top 40 (#41).
@@screwyootube1 even J Geils did "Come Back" on the Love Stinks album. That was 4 on the floor disco rock

I literally grew up with them so I agree. I saw them in 1977 with AC/DC. My first concert.🤘
Deuce is my favourite song from Kiss, especially the older live versions ))
Yes! I agree with Lex. The bass is the best part.
O yes.
I love it when Lex is just vibing to the song, it's amazing to watch.

@@allanjones1680 I wouldn't consider Pink Floyd's ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL "DISCO" 😆
Back in the 70s, they sold out coliseums on day 1. Their albums and 8-tracks flew off the shelves. They might have been the first to paint their faces, use on-stage fire, explosions, and platforms with elevation. They were even hotter in concert.
Pete Townsend and Jimi Hendrix might argue with you about the fire thing. Not to to mention Arthur Brown.
Wife here...This was considered their "disco" song /album..As a baby of the disco years..I Loved This Song!!...Still do..ROCK on
Once again, you need to do “Black Diamond” from their Midnight Special appearance in 1975!!!
Hell yeah! Great suggestion \m/
Yes!!
Frickin love this song 💛
Kiss has some killer songs, try God of Thunder, Black Diamond, Cold Gin and God Gave Rock n Roll to You. Crazy show to say the least but they had the chops to pull it off. Enjoy! 🎸
I want you) live around 1990 with Bruce playing lead. They slowed it down and just JAM IT.

KISS "Calling Doctor Love" & "Beth"
I’m new to your channel but you guys reactions are the best I’ve seen on UA-cam keep up the good work.👍🏼
KISS DISCO!! Way to go guys! Excellent analysis Lex.

This is the greatest thing disco ever brought us.
You might like "I've had enough (Into the Fire)" or "Million to One" by Kiss.
A Million to One may be Paul Stanley’s best vocal.
@@DM-pz7bn Agreed.
It is one of those songs that sticks in the brain. Go for "I Pledge Alligence To The State Of Rock N Roll" to stop it rattling around your head ;)

100,000 yrs. with the drum solo from ALIVE is a must listen to. Also the song LICK IT UP.

In 1978 all four of them put out solo albums, their lead guitarist Ace Frehley, did a good cover of a song called New York groove it's worth a listen.
