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.
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.
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!! 😀🤘🎸🎵🎶
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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".
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.
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!!
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.
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! 🎸
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
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
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.
You have to know each of these four musicians are at the top of their game and the best in the field. It’s why Rolling Stone named Paul Stanley the #6 guitarist of all time.
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.
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.
My first concert was KISS Animalize when I was 14. I couldn’t believe my mom got me 2 tickets for Christmas. She took myself and a friend and waited in her car to take us home. Two hour drive each way. Queensryche opened for them. That was cool.
@@michaelclement4961 I'm one of those mom's (yeah, I know, I shouldn't brag lol, but I will) I took my now grown son when he was (his 1st concert) 15 to see BUSH, the next year we saw MEGADETH TWICE, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, CHILDREN OF BODOM, HAVOK, AMON AMARTH, THEN A YEAR LATER IT WAS ROCKFEST !!! then the last concert we went too was IRON MAIDEN!! We had so much fun, Sooooooooooo many great MEMORIES! Now I'm sick in a wheelchair (don't feel bad for me cuz I'm good!) if anyone in the comments sees this, TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO CONCERTS! 🤗😎
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!! 🎶🤘
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!!
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.
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!
Just keep in mind Kiss have at least 40 albums in their catalog, lots of good stuff to explore! All of the suggestions from everybody here is pretty spot on, pick any song from their catalog and you can see how they have evolved over the years. Lots of history. My all time favorites from them are as followed, their self titled album Kiss, Kiss Alive 1, Kiss Alive II, Kiss Alive III, Kiss Double Platinum, Kiss Destroyer, Kiss Rock 'n Rollover, Kiss Love Gun, Their Solo albums, and Creatures Of The Night. Their entire catalog is musically different but excellent. Seeing their live performances is something not to be missed, you won't regret it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I figured Lex would pick up on the disco vibe of this song and she did. KISS thought they needed to have a disco sounding song and this is it. Many other rock acts did the same thing in the late 70's. This song was on the Dynasty album which really had some great traditional KISS songs on it. Ace had three awesome songs on it. He covered The Rolling Stones song 2000 Man and his other two songs Hard Times and Save Your Love to me were the best songs on Dynasty.
I agree with everyone on here, KISS are a great band, but really need to be seen to be appreciated. I was at a concert of theirs a couple of years ago and they absolutely KILLED it!!! There were fans in there from all age groups, from below 10 years old and over 60 years old and everyone loved the show. Not a single disappointed fan in the stadium. One of the best live performance bands of all time.
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.
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. 🤘🤘🤘
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.
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.
@@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.
Its funny Lex said one of the greatest bands of all time because thats similar to their intros when doing live shows. The announcer says "The hottest band in the world, KISS!" at least they did on the alive II album and when i saw them in concert as a stagehand. They put on a great show BTW! I met Paul Stanley at that show, contrary to popular opinion ,I thought he was real nice!
This song will forever be catchy-as-fuck. Rock infused with disco is MY JAM!
Kiss-co

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.
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.
I literally grew up with them so I agree. I saw them in 1977 with AC/DC. My first concert.🤘
Kiss on the disco train!
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.
Deuce is my favourite song from Kiss, especially the older live versions ))
I love it when Lex is just vibing to the song, it's amazing to watch.
Wife here...This was considered their "disco" song /album..As a baby of the disco years..I Loved This Song!!...Still do..ROCK on
Kiss gives people want they want, bread and circus! Lex is right on the money. Greetings from Norway!
Yes! I agree with Lex. The bass is the best part.
O yes.
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)
The disco influence in this track is what makes it.
Jack....u were lucky to see him!

The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart etc did the same thing. A lot of hardcore rock fans hated these acts for doing this.
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
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!!

Love Gun
1979 I was 9 and my aunt turned me on to KISS with this song! Great great band!
The greatest song by Kiss and they have a lot of great songs!
KISS is my favorite band, I really like their 70's stuff, yet disco KISS is fun also....which is this song.

@@allanjones1680 I wouldn't consider Pink Floyd's ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL "DISCO" 😆
Y'all should check out "strutter", "100,000 years", and "black diamond". A few of my favorites from kiss

Kissco. Check out "Strutter", "I Stole Your Love" and "C'mon And Love Me".
Talk to Me is also good.
KISS DISCO!! Way to go guys! Excellent analysis Lex.
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
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 ;)
Frickin love this song 💛
I was made for loving Kiss reactions
You wanted the Best and you got it! The hottest band in the world KISSSSSS!!!!! Everything you said about Kiss is absolutely correct.
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.

I'd like to see you two dirty dancing to this! Lol
Kiss is incredible. No other hard rock band could make a disco song that’s still heavy!
Once again, you need to do “Black Diamond” from their Midnight Special appearance in 1975!!!
Hell yeah! Great suggestion \m/
Yes!!
When Kiss tried on their disco shoes..
Funny to hear Gene say how much he HATES playing this song.
BUT…. It was a hit for them. Ha!

My first year at highschool when this came out. Summer time. Meeting new classmates. Hormones starting to rage. Wonderful times.
Disco Kiss. I know this isn't the "typical" Kiss stuff, but I still love it. It reflect the time in which it was created.
My fave band all time ❤️
This is the greatest thing disco ever brought us.

yup !!!!!
a lot of KISS fans freaked out when this came out but you can't argue with the beat
KISS "Calling Doctor Love" & "Beth"
Seen them live 2x … great band, loved this song and this reaction. Thanks guys.

I was born in 1971 and have skated to this song a lot. The rink played it all the time. It's rosco lol.
So truth Kiss is the one of the best ever.
I agree with everyone on here, KISS are a great band, but really need to be seen to be appreciated. I was at a concert of theirs a couple of years ago and they absolutely KILLED it!!! There were fans in there from all age groups, from below 10 years old and over 60 years old and everyone loved the show. Not a single disappointed fan in the stadium. One of the best live performance bands of all time.
So Many Great KISS Songs, so little time!
Two GREAT Follow ups would be "Calling Dr. Love" or "Love Gun"!
ahhh yes. DISCO KISS..... LOLOL
Disco baby.
KISS: The Disco Days
Kiss was looking at the bee-gees like, 'hold my beer'
I think this was their close to disco song they ever made!!!
You Wanted The Best And You Got The Best. The Hottest Band In The Land. KISS. 😁❤🤘
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.
Kiss was the number one band in the US back in the 70's.. with virtually no radio airplay
It’s what we call, “galloping” bass
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.
The Drummer on this is Anton Fig, who was also the drummer for David Letterman's house band.
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.
YES!!! Lex one of the Best!! Join the "KISS ARMY" 🤘🤘🤘🎸🔥👍😁💯❤️
Don't let the makeup fool you. They have an ARMY of fans, multiple platinum records and sales off the chain!!!
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. 🤘🤘🤘
DiscoKiss was the beginning of the end, but you're gold with anything prior to 1979
Gotta love Kiss!
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.
My favorite KISS song.
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.
100,000 yrs. with the drum solo from ALIVE is a must listen to. Also the song LICK IT UP.
Yes....the Ultimate Kiss song....if I could get a dollar for every time this song was played on the radio in my lifetime😀!
Don't forget the jukeboxs in the diners and bar. Go Kiss🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
@@russellhamilton2877 yep!
@@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 😂
@@russellhamilton2877 I was born in '75....so many flavors when I was a teenager😀!
@@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.
Its funny Lex said one of the greatest bands of all time because thats similar to their intros when doing live shows. The announcer says "The hottest band in the world, KISS!" at least they did on the alive II album and when i saw them in concert as a stagehand. They put on a great show BTW! I met Paul Stanley at that show, contrary to popular opinion ,I thought he was real nice!
