Paul Stanley Is the greatest American Rock star ICON
KISS took off their makeup by the mid 80's because critics had accused them they were nothing without it. They put in back on for the reunion tour because all of the original members came back by the mid 90's and Grunge had taken root. The talent was always there. They always want to give their audiences: The Total Package. Makeup, Explosions, Fire etc
They are far from the most talented musicians or singers(except Ace, he is top tier guitarist), they have even said this about themselves but very few put on a show like they do.
Agree that they definitely proved the critics wrong. Make up on, or make up off, Kiss kicks ass!!
It was actually Sept of 1983 when they appeared for the first time without the makeup
@@markbailey3225 Thanks Mark.
They Took the make up off because of so many line up changes. Thats it. Nothing to do with critics
So glad you did one from the Eric Carr era (1980-1991). He was a powerhouse drummer we sadly lost in 1991. Love this song and video!
Eric Carr and Freddie Mercury both passed the same exact day 😔
Eric is my favorite drummer ever. Listening to his unfinished solo album it is very clear he is the one that pushed the Kiss music of that era to become harder. One hell of a singing voice too. kiss underused him in the singing department.
@@sassy7766 Pretty much did that with Peter Criss also. Criss and Carr both had a much better voice than Stanley imho. But from what I understand when they're singing Paul Stanley always felt uncomfortable being just a rhythm guitarist.
@@paulrogers4483 I guess Paul was only willing to share the lead singing with Gene. I guess they were mostly even in the early albums. I love Peter’s scratchy voice and Ace’s stoner voice. I had Eric’s unfinished solo cd hubby and I found at a used cd store circa 2003. It
has grown legs. Probably swiped by one of my sisters lol.
@@andie361 and only one got much media attention
The makeupless era of Kiss contains lots of super great songs! With your rap background, you would definitely love "All hell's breaking loose". But there are more. The greatest hits of the era includes "Lick it up", "Thrills in the night", "Tears are falling", "Crazy crazy nights", "Who wants to be lonely", "Hide your heart", "Turn on the night", "UH! all night" (lots of "nights" there) and the ballads "Reason to live" and "Forever". My personal favorites also include "A million to one", "My way", "I've had enough", "Exciter", "Not for the innocent", "Silver spoon" and "(You make me( rock hard". Enjoy! :-)
Oh yeah - they took off the makeup mainly because their career had sadly been dwindling up until the early 80s and they decided that something had to change. For a while it actually worked - songs like "Lick it up" and "Heaven's on fire" in particular reignited their career in spades. In 1996, after their career had once more been going downhill for years, they put the makeup back on - and this reignited their career once more, as you may have noticed :-)
Don't forget the ultimate cheesy sex song, "Let's Put The X In Sex".
‘Not For The Innocent’ and ‘I’ve Had Enough (Into The Fire)’ are two of my favorite KISS songs of all time. So underrated, as was the whole non-makeup era. Growing up in the 80’s, that era of KISS had a massive impact on my musical upbringing.
Luck it up is fire!! But I wouldn't watch the video😳
I didn't get into KISS until they took off the makeup,Then I started listening to the makeup KISS! 🤔 I did have 'Detroit rock city ' and 'Beth' on 45" in 76'! I believe 'Beth' was the B-side🤷♂️
unmasked kiss was my kiss. but i'm good with their older stuff. 😄
Their first appearance ever without makeup came in 1983, with the debut of their video for the song "Lick It Up". "Heaven's on Fire" came out in 1984, off their album "Animalize"
Lick it guys!
Mtv was ablaze with the Event of a Lifetime. KISS without their Makeup. it worked. Proven Rockers under all that glitter. ironic because the 80's New Romantics and New Wave musicians embraced makeup
I came to request Lick It Up since they like this one so much. :)
Jordan will love this one, a few years back Barry Gibb’s eldest son Stephen who is a heavy metal musician and vocalist,talked about how his dad took him to see his idols at age 6. He even got to meet them backstage they asked him in awe if he realized who his dad was , he said yea but you’re Kiss
Many years ago I actually saw a picture of Barry, his son and Gene that was taken during the meeting that you just described. In the photos caption Gene gushed about the fact that despite the Bee Gees being the biggest act in the world at that time Barry's son wanted to meet KISS.
"I Still Love You' from KISS MTV Unplugged is probably Paul's best live performance- definitely worth a listen. 👍
Might be his best, but his vocals in Nowhere To Run might be the best in the Kiss Catalog
I was so happy when this song came out because for me it proved they didn't need the makeup. KISS always gave their fans their moneys worth!!!!
Yep...this one is a banger....great album from my high school days. A great follow up for this one is "Lick it up"
I'm not ashamed to say that "Lick it Up" is probably my favorite song of all their hits, ha.
Same here!!
All those albums that got slagged by the purists like Creatures/Animalize/Asylum/and LIU were bangers , Even Crazy Nights and Hot in the shade were decent .
@@nancysmith8626 mine too!!!
Yeah Baby, had friends who knew their Sound Man Randy, South Florida, still have the Back Stage Pass! It was awesome 😀
You guys should react to more Kiss…
"Beth", "Deuce", "Black Diamond", "Calling Dr. Love", "Do You Love Me", "Strutter", "I Love It Loud", "Shout It Out Loud", "Love Gun", "God of Thunder", "Hard Luck Woman", "I Stole Your Love", "I Still Love You"
🎸🤘
claasic songs are good but really think they would love the 80's songs better. just look at the reaction to this one.
I'd add Cold Gin
@@bobjoy5848 I agree their reaction shows that they would really like their 80's songs better. But I would definitely agree with Cadinho that they should do "Beth" considering Amber's like of Peter.
If they do “Beth”, and they should do Beth, they need the live Acoustic version where Ace and Peter are back on stage with them.
Was Beth the first "Metal ballad".....
You need to check out one of their ballads: "Forever". Great song.
Co written with Michael Bolton
Great Power Ballad!
Forever is our song. We played it during our wedding ceremony in 2003.
Guys, you seriously want to check out "Forever"!!!!
"I gotta tell ya what I'm feeling inside..." Great mix of acoustic and electric. Amazing song.
" Tears are falling" is another great Kiss song from the mid 80s. Makeup came off in 1983, stayed off until 1996.
J & Amber, you'll love their "Shout It Out Loud" and "Beth"!!! You won't believe "Beth" is a Kiss song, but it was their highest charting song!
Love the song ‘Beth’
"Beth" is my favorite Kiss song
Beth is good .. it was B side song that actually turned to be one of their best and highest charting song
I think Beth is my all-time favorite Kiss song
I just happened to have seen KISS back in what our kids call "the olden days" with a band I'd never heard of opening. It was RUSH. They became my favourite band that day. But KISS rocked the house with a stage show that was worth the price of admission by itself. That was 1975-76 and the tickets were less than $10.00 (Canadian, but still). For that show we got every penny of our money's worth 🤘😎
Oh yeah! KISS ✌❤🎶 y'all have to do Beth!
This is my KISS, I'm 57 I got out of high school in 82, lot of good times seeing kiss 7 times in the 89s, 90, and once in 2001
All Hell Is Breaking Loose trust me this song has one of the coolest Kiss riffs and the bass is just thumping
Gene Simmons used to have a reality show and on that show, I learned something I never knew before. KISS is Paul Stanley's band. Paul Stanley calls the shots. I never knew that. I always thought Gene Simmons was the main guy because he was always the one in front of the camera on t.v. shows and such. Then, one day on his reality show, he admitted that he can't do a thing with KISS unless Paul okays it. That's pretty cool.
That's like Bon Jovi. It was always Jon's band and everyone else were employees
You can definitely tell the KISS sound comes from Paul just by listening to the 1978 solo albums.
LMAO that is so untrue, Gene and Paul run it together
They took the makeup off in the early 80's, and the change really re-launched their career. In the mid 90's they reunited with their original drummer and lead guitarist and they put the makeup back on for the reunion tour. Even though those two left the band again, KISS kept the makeup on, and have ever since. But there was a period there for over a decade where the KISS makeup had disappeared.
I entered junior high in 1984 and was introduced to heavy metal about that time. This was the first KISS song I remember hearing, so it's an all time favorite of mine. I remember being introduced to this song, another your reacted to today, Quiet Riot's "Metal Health," Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock," Ratt's "Round and Round," and Van Halen's "Panama," around the same time. From that point on, with a few exceptions for the likes of ZZ Top or Joan Jett, my boom box was playing metal all day, every day. And it worked out that I had the biggest boom box on the team, so I got to be the DJ on the bus to every football game for 6 years. So the team heard almost all metal all the time too. And with it being the 80's, they were all fine with that! God I miss the 80's.
Two other KISS songs to check out. For a very similar vibe to this one, try "Lick it Up." And you have to listed to "I Love it Loud." That's an absolute must for any KISS fan.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD ! LOL I was gonna say pretty much the exact same thing... except I was leaving junior high at the time.
@@paulwalsh2344 LOL! I'd say judging by album sales in the 80's, there are a lot of people about our age who had that same thought. I did the math once, and I have so many 80's metal songs on my PC that if I hit play, it wouldn't stop for about 6 weeks.
One note I forgot to add to my original comment. I got to see KISS with Winger and Slaughter in August of 1990. When "Heaven's on Fire" was played, they had these flamethrowers on stage that had to have shot flames 20-30 feet in the air. I was 12 rows back, and the heat was so intense I had to put my hands in front of my face and turn away. How they stood being on stage right next to things was beyond me. When they brought out the old KISS sign with the flashing strobe lights for the last song, they blew the power transformer to the building. Took them 20 minutes to get enough power to one of the microphones to tell us all to go home.
You can add Winger and Slaughter to your bands to check out. You already did a Slaughter ballad, but you really need to checkout "Up All Night" by them, and "Easy Come, Easy Go" does a great job of showing what Winger was like live.
Seven albums without makeup from 1983 to 1997, the most my favorite songs from that era.
You can't go wrong with Kiss! Hundreds of good songs, Lick It Up, Domino, Back In The New York Groove
In 1991 they released their Revenge album. After the untimely death of their drummer, Eric Carr, they had to take a breather, but came back with a vengeance. They introduced the very first "Non-Brunette" player Eric Singer who is still their drummer today. Threw me for a loop the first time I saw the album. Songs to note on this album are Paralyzed, Unholy, Domino, God Gave Rock n Roll to You, and Every Time I Look At you
Revenge may just be my favorite Kiss Album of all time. As a matter of fact, you mentioned 2 of my top 5 Kiss songs of all time in your list (Unholy and Domino). The other 3 always have been and always will be Strutter, Cold Gin and War Machine. There's no particular order to them, they're all amazing in their own ways.
1992
Yup, they took off their makeup during the early '80s. I like their 80's stuff as well. Other 80's tracks I like are "Lick it up" "Forever" and "Tears are falling"
You guys are great. I'm obviously older than the two of you, but this song right here is the song where I became a KISS fan forever.
This is the first KISS song I ever heard. I was hooked
Seen them live twice. They do put on a great show.
And the pyro... felt the heat during this song from all the way up in the nose bleeds.
❤️👍. Row 4, I think my face was burnt
@@CjJohns1776 🤣
Yeah, I have seen them twice also. Sadly not when I was in high school, back in the 80's but my first time seeing them live was around 2003 with Aerosmith. Their show was still great but it was a little toned down from the shows I have seen on tape. There was some pyro but it was much tamer than what I have seen from earlier shows on video. Their next show I saw, in 2004 with Poison, the pyro was a little bigger but still not what you saw back in the 70's-90's.
You must go into more KISS music and you will see how diverse the band really was. Very talented 👏
Greetings from Europe! KISS Army still rocks!!!
Paul Stanley has always been my favorite. This was a fun song.
DAAAAAAAMN!!!! LOVE that y’all just did some 80’zzz KISS!!!! Try “Crazy Nights”, “Who Wants to be Lonely”, “Tears are Falling”, “Reason to Live” or even “Uh! All Night!” You can’t go wrong with either one 🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤
Tears are falling Paul cant be equaled
@@roberttaylor6571 it’s a beautiful song no doubt 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I saw KISS twice as a teen during this era. Top notch entertainers! Big on crowd participation!! They made everyone feel like part of the coolest club on earth! And they had excellent sound engineers. Loud as Hell but crystal clear.
Kiss tears are falling you won't be disappointed
Black diamond is the one to watch when they did a special on TV back in 73 or 74. It was killer. Peter rocked it!
80s Rock was awesome. Hair bands like Kiss, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Poison, Motley Crue, Europe, Deff Lepppard, Whitesnake, Scorpions...those were the days. There were excellent metal bands like Judas Priest or Iron Maiden, Guns N'Roses, Van Halen and AC/DC embodied hard rock, Sex Pistols, The Clash or Ramones still on the radio, Queen being just gods... it's the best time ever.
One of my absolute favorite songs by KISS. Never a bad time for this song in my opinion.
Paul always kills that “oooooh” at the start when he does it live, it’s so good
KISS dropped the makeup in 1983, but brought it back in 1997 for the original lineup reunion. They released some great songs during the "No makeup" era, like "Tears Are Falling", "Crazy Crazy Nights", "Rise To It", "Deuce", "God Gave Rock & Roll To You II", "I Just Wanna", "Forever", "Reason To Live", and "Lick It Up".
Crazy nights. I was so happy I got to hear it live on the last tour. I waited a long time for it. It was extra cool that Gene was 2 feet from my face on a platform that swung up by our suite! Great farewell concert!!
Yeah! its sucky that so much of that era's material got sidelined for so long except for like KiSS cruises or whatever side project band , Heart did the same thing for so long "oh! we hate the 80s stuff" yeah! but WE don't lol .
This was their no makeup phase it started in 1983 and ended in 1996. I always think of my younger brother when I hear a Kiss song. He was really into them . He and his friends would dress up as Kiss and put on pretend concerts. They even made and painted fake guitars out of plywood. I came to appreciate Kiss as a very talented group. I especially enjoyed their solo Albums because it showcased their individual talents. Beth, I Was Made For Lovin' You, Mr. Make Believe and When You Wish Upon a Star(I kid you not Gene Simmons does a killer job on the song).
I bought this album (Animalize) when it came out and I was in my first apartment away from home with a couple of friends, in the ’80s.
They “unmasked” in the 1980s, but original members Ace Freyley and Peter Chris had already been replaced at this point.
This was definitely a jam , though!
KISS - WHO WANTS TO BE LONELY?
GR8 SONG!!!!
I went to their concert in 2019, and they rocked me just as hard as they did in 1978!!!
Back in the New York Groove and Beth are great ones also
yes, New York Groove! from Ace Frehley, his 1978 solo album.
My God I remember when that came out. I had hair. No wrinkles and cartilage in my knees. And girls really loved it
His bass in Crazy Nights shoots fire out of it....the video is awesome!!
Love them or hate them, one thing cannot be denied, they are marketing geniuses. Their first concert, they rented a limo. Early on they said "everyone wants to be like the Beatles, we want to be like Coca Cola". When glam rock was fading, they took their makeup off so people would take them seriously. When retro was in they put it back on. And of course, their music is catchy.
KISS - no make up/live

The 80's were just the best time ever for me! I graduated high school in 1984. What a time to be alive! I can't tell you how many times my husband and I have seen Kiss! A live Kiss show is an experience!
Awwww! I'd forgotten just how cute Paul Stanley was back in that early makeup-less era... and how oddly hot Gene was (plus he looked he was having a right ole hoot in this video - fun to see as he normally doesn't show that side of his personality).
Their critics have said that they were average musicians and if they didnt have a gimmick (makeup), they would disappear.
So, they put this album out (and videos) sans makeup, to prove them wrong.
And a couple of the songs(singles) on this album made the Billboard charts.
Just a great song. I like them better without their makeup. Kiss can rock no doubt. Loved your reaction.
Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
This is my jam right here!!! I drive my husband and my daughter crazy because I play it so much. I am so glad that I grew up in the 80s
"CALLING DR. LOVE" was a big hit in 1977, written and sung by GENE SIMMONS!
Love them! My BFF is a huge fan! I surprised her with front row tickets for this tour and when it started everyone rushed the stage and we spent the whole concert as close as you can get. It was AMAZING! I still have a guitar pick tossed to me. We had such a blast! One hell of a show!
I remember the MTV interview when they did their reveal with no make-up. Something we never thought we'd see! Paul, Gene, Peter, and Ace all did their own solo albums. You should branch off into some of those tunes. RIP, Eric Carr (their drummer during this time).
Ace had the only really good solo album. I don't think the other three took it very seriously. Hell, Gene did a cover of "When You Wish Upon A Star" on his solo album. I mean, they are interesting to listen to but only Ace's has some real good music on it.
What was the reaction of fans and media to the no make-up look at the time when it was first revealed?
@@garykidson4489 It was September 18, 1983 and was done in-studio with one of the original VJs, JJ Jackson. You can find it here on UA-cam. Type in "kiss no makeup mtv"
@@bamachine Personally, I liked Paul's and Gene's the best. The When You Wish Upon A Star was definitely strange, but I enjoyed the rest of the album. I have all four on CD.
I just had a nephew who passed away from cancer ♋️. He was only 52 years old. Kiss was by far his all time favorite band. This is the first time seeing any Kiss videos. He was a great hard working young man. I did not get to see him very often because of his location and my location. I just saw him in the hospital 🏥 early that week. He was in such good spirits. He knew that he was going to die. But you would have never known it from his actions. Only 52 years old did not drink or smoke. We have a lot of cancer ♋️ that runs in our family. He is in peace now with his Mother and Father. He did do the tobacco that you put in your mouth.It hadn’t done that for years though.
Yay! KISS... first concert I ever went to. 8 years old on my dad’s shoulders rocking it!
❤ The '80s were a wild and special decade
Great voices, great entertainers… Seen them many times in concert and Paul is a great front man… great banter ! 🤘
Tears are falling is another great song.
I have been a big fan of Kiss since the early 70s.
Since you like this one so much, I think you will like "Tears Are Falling," "I Love It Loud," "Creatures Of The Night," and "Lick It Up." Some of their biggest hits from the 80s.
Absolutely this☝️☝️ ya both should really like I Love It Loud🤟
Gene Simmons didn't like the song "I was made for loving you" but it is actually my favorite by them. Damn good sound. The vocals in that and the bass are off the charts!
"Sure know something" is a Dynasty-era song with a cool video.
More kiss! Raise your glasses ,tears are fallen, hide your heart ,
The best KISS album (in my opinion) is KISS: Alive. Its also the first album i ever bought. Start on side one, track one (which is the song "Deuce") and just let it play. Loud. It captures them at their finest. Just killer songs. Great guitar riffs, vocals, etc...you get the idea. Amber: there's a long drum solo during the song "100,000 Years" which you would really dig. A phenomenal live album from beginning to end!
LIVE KISS is the best KISS \m/
Pp
These guys are always a good time... if you want to hear them a little cleaner i can't recommend the MTV Unplugged show enough. When i want to introduce someone new to KISS or they tell me they don't like them, I almost always throw that on and they are amazed how good of a performance band those guys are live. Saw them on the first "Final Tour" with the original lineup, such a great show.
Makeup-less Kiss was incredible ! All Hells Breaking Loose, A Million to One, Forever, and Tears Are Falling.....you just have to knock these out !
KISS - Beth will blow your mind. You won't even believe it is them. Love your channel!
Kiss has never been given enough credit being a great rock band.
Check out Unholy and Domino next.
Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Hey Jordan and Amber, this song was from "Animalize", the 2nd album that Kiss released after taking off the makeup
The first album they did after they'd decided to go without the makeup was "Lick It Up", which should be the next song that you should react to
I love their 80’s stuff this is fire ❤ so underrated
Kiss 'Rock & Roll Over' was the first album I ever bought, when the song 'Calling Dr. Love' was on the radio in 1976, I believe - I think I bought it early '77. I was in 2nd grade. Their Dynasty concert was the second concert I ever went to (First was Elvis in '76) - my parents took me to the Kiss concert when I was in 6th grade. Even though they were 'iffy' about it, they walked out of the arena as fans. Still a huge fan to this day. And yeah, my sister is all about Paul Stanley as well.
KISS is so interesting to me…..a recurring nightmare I had as a child about fully KISS make up wearing Gene Simmons chasing me through my elementary school gave me an irrational fear of tall men that lasts to this day. The era of no makeup allowed me to enjoy KISS fully, for the first time ever. Paul Stanley was always a heartthrob, and once the makeup (and mostly the platform boots) was off, I was able to appreciate Gene Simmons, too❤❤❤
For a great example of how good Paul’s voice is yall need to check out “I Still Love You” from UnPlugged.
Kiss dropped the make-up through the 80s and early 90s, then went back to it later for nostalgia and fun.
My favorite Kiss songs include this one, but also "I Just Wanna," "Psycho Circus," "Unholy," "I Love It Loud," and "God of Thunder."
So, you love a hard hitting drumming, this era is for you. Eric Carr from 1982 (he was in makeup as the fox) until he died the exact same day as Freddy mercury from heart cancer. He is my favorite drummer ever and he would have turned 72 this week. Crazy nights is my absolute happy song and I never listen just once. It’s one repeat. “You are my people, this is my crowd. This is my music and we love it loud “
Eric Carr probably one of the best drummers ever. The man was truly a nice guy to the fans and we just love his drum solos.
Beth is a ballad they did. Beautiful! I remember when I was a freshman in high school and it seemed every school choir performed that song.
They had an album Kiss Unmasked which is the eighth studio album, released on May 20, 1980. It was their first not to feature drummer Peter Criss (although largely absent from the preceding Dynasty, Criss performed on that album's "Dirty Livin'"). After this album they stopped wearing makeup on stage for a while.
Kiss Tears are Falling
J and Amber: if you want to get away from the sexual innuendo of this song and get straight to the point, try KISS’ “Uh! All Night”.
Also: “Let’s Put the X in Sex”
KISS MTV unplugged “I still love you”. AMAZING
Yeah! This is one of their best songs Imo! But they just rock hard 🤘 what a great band to investigate, have fun with these guys 😍 love you guys! ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Kiss had a few albums without their makeup in the 80s pretty much as a promotional gimmick because back in the day photographers were always trying to grab "secret" photos of members of Kiss without their makeup. So to celebrate the release of their Lick It Up album they held a press conference where they officially appeared without makeup for the first time. The promotional gimmick worked because the next few albums were among the most successful of their career.
Please react to Love Gun or Come On And Love Me, an early Kiss song and a REALLY early Kiss song.
WMMS 101 FM Hey John K.
It wasn’t a promotional gimmick, then again you can say the band is a gimmick. Their sales were going down and they decided to take the makeup off, it brought in new fans and new music. 1983-1995 no makeup. 1996 back on.
If you like Gene Simmons that much you should check out their song God of Thunder
KISS is a band that really should be reacted to live, don't care if people think you should always hear album version first. Their live is so much better sounding... God of Thunder with the intro is always amazing too.
"Beth" is their awesome ballad!!
Glad you noticed Gene's executioner's axe bass -- that one's been a fan fave ever since he brought it out into the world. Even during the many years without the demon make-up, that was a huge part of the "dangerous" element that he's always personified onstage.
"God Gave Rock and Roll To You" is another great song featured in the 2nd Bill and Ted movie. Would be a good one for the next reaction
Written and 1st done by Russ Ballard singer for band Argent! KISS rocks it!
Not politically correct these days but Christine Sixteen is a great one.
EVH wrote the solo that Ace plays on that song
You wanted the best you got the best..KISS
A long time ago, I saw KISS and a very elderly Bob Hope perform on the same stage, together! It was a Rock radio station's Christmas show done live, and a special moment. KISS was thrilled to see Bob Hope. Bob, of course, bad seen it all, so nothing much shocked him.
You guys need to check out the Damn Yankees
My older brother passed away in 1991 but we used to jam to this every day on the way to work. Awesome song. Also please do the song forever. It's a great one too.
Saw them front row in 10th grade; their last makeup tour before they dropped the makeup. I recall this song very well. it was like YEAH they still got it.
They took the make-up off in like 83 ...put it back on in 96 with original members ...I was blessed enough to c the show on New Years Eve....awesome show!!!!!!
They give the BEST Concerts!! I've been to 3
Banger! J- didn't hear you say it, so I'll say it for you... Bet you wish you could attend Kiss concerts in the day! I can almost picture you there! :) Amber- I noticed your 'Camo-Kiss' Tshirt before Jay did! GREAT reaction guys! :)
Absolute BANGER bay Kiss. There was a period from 1982 to 1995 where they took the makeup off and were performing without it. Kiss can be broken up into three errors. The makeup era from 1974 through 1981. Non makeup era from 82 to 95, and then the reunion and going back into the makeup in 96 onward. I've seen them in concert four times and I took my children to see them most recently at Hershey Park 2 years ago. My kids would see me watching old kiss videos and used to say oh my God if they ever have a concert you have to take us, and I told them I don't think they tore anymore because they were taking a break for a while before they announced their recent three year end of the road tour. They thought we were just going to the amusement park for the day and when I left at 7:00 they were complaining about leaving the park a few hours before it close early, we walked across the parking lot and then got in line for a Kiss concert and they literally flipped their wigs. They are 14-year-old daughter and 11 year old son. They're pretty Versed and all genres of music thanks to their daddy lol. As far as kiss, They have so many incredible songs in their catalog and I know they make a lot of money and they sell out touring and they're popular but still as artists and as a band musically I feel they are criminally underrated. If you really want to see a heavier song, from their last album with no makeup there is a song called Unholy that Gene Simmons sings. Coincidentally on that same album is one of their softer songs God Gave Rock and Roll to You. And if you want to go further back to the 70s and their makeup days, Hard Luck Woman is a great song. War machine, god of thunder, shout it out loud, we're good 70s era Kiss songs as well. Out of the songs that you haven't covered yet by kiss those would be the ones I would probably recommend the most.
Strutter, Deuce, Cold Gin, Tears are Falling, God Gave Rock N Roll to You, Hard Luck Woman, Lick It Up, Two Sides of the Coin, Plaster Caster, Shout It Out Loud, Love Gun, Christine Sixteen. So many good songs.
The guitarist is Mark St. John.
He made one album and this video with KISS.
Before they could tour,he got a kind of rheumatoid arthritis in his wrist,and, had to drop out.
He was replaced by Bruce Kulick.
Bruce's brother, Bob Kulick had actually auditioned for KISS,back in the '70s.
Ace Frehley got that job.
