I hate when people complain about Paul's voice and expect him to sing like 40 years ago, he was 62 years old at the time of video, isn't so easy to him to sing at this age; if you don't like his voice, just go watch their old live videos. Btw, their 80s stuff is awesome and this crowd is dead.
this isn't about pitch change. this is a shot voice that isn't coming back. vanity prevents him from realizing this and if he really cared about his fans he would just stop. this is pathetic. his vocal folds will no longer close. they are in a constant state of inflammation.
Soviet Fender :Yeah c'mon guys.I think they totally should be charging original Paul voice ticket prices today,for Paul's barking at you for two hours voice now.Uuugh.
This isn't an aged voice...There is something wrong with his voice...Glenn Hughes is still going now, is older than Paul and actually sounds better than when he was younger (especially after getting clean). I read somewhere that he had botched throat surgery...Been a KISS fan all my life but I can't do it...I passed on seeing them one last time...
Only thing that matters is theres still people like me that would still pay to see these guys. Doesnt matter that pauls voice is going. These guys still have a good time playing and theyve been a huge part of my life. I'll sing my lungs out with paul and sound like shit with him.
@Toric i wasnt embarassed at all lol i was having a good time actually. Then I flew and saw them in spokane the next night and did the same thing! Saw the same show two more times also and still had every chance of fun I could have had. I feel sorry for people like you and ill pray for you.
This song is so special to me as I worry about the health of my lovely wife Kathy. She was dx with cancer. We separated on bad terms as I was immature and selfish. Now, I realize just how much I loved her always. We are on good terms now and hopefully will be back together. I just want her health back first. My young son is showing such maturity. He is going to school and then working as a landscaper after school and helping his mom. He is giving up his fun for the love of his mother. This song really keeps it in check for me. Tears are falling. I pray for the day that she is healthy and I will take them on the best vacation ever.
I had the privilege of watching them at the L.A. Forum in 98 and whom ever hasn't dressed up as one of them, isn't a fan. BUT I agree with many of you...... it's time to hang up them boot!!! Thanks for the great memories guys, I still remember the day I met Paul and Gene in Glendale,CA....
This was painful and sad to watch! Always love KISS! But i always said when Paul voice is completely gone. Time to sail off into the sunset. As much as none of us want that to happen. It's time to sail boy's! Thx for the memories!
As a current graduate student in Speech Language Pathology, I'd like to make a few comments about the voice in general, and Paul's voice: as person grows older, it's very normal for the voice to drop in pitch, but Paul's voice is beyond that. I know he's been seeing an ENT for many years, but to my knowledge, it seems like this physician never referred him to a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) who specializes in Voice Therapy and Disorders. The vocal folds are very delicate, and something we take for granted. While an ENT can offer medical advice, prescribe medications, and perform surgeries, an SLP could have coached him over the years on how to take care of his vocal folds, and even the laryngeal and suprahyoid muscles. In terms of physiology, the muscles play an important role in vocal fold vibration. While Paul may have not smoked or drank alcohol, he could have also benefitted from therapy. I'm not saying his voice would sound the same had he gone through therapy, but I think it would have helped keep his vocal folds healthier. There's a strain to his voice, which leads to more vocal effort. I'd love to see how his vocal folds function through a videostroboscopy.
It's not normal. There are other singers like Glenn Hughes, who is older than Paul, did a ton of drugs (but is thankfully clean) and sounds better than when he was younger. Hughes began a full decade before KISS, and sang MUCH higher (and still does). I read somewhere that Paul had throat surgery that may have been botched...but Paul to me was one of the greatest rock singers of all time, really peaking from about 84 to 2004.
@@ferox965 I didn't say Paul's voice was normal. I'm saying everyone's voice changes through aging. Usually the pitch changes or there is a weaker vocal output. I was saying Paul's voice is beyond the normal aging. He's definitely abused his vocal folds throughout the years. I wouldn't be surprised if he's had nodules and/or polyps. As you said, maybe his throat surgery was botched. I was saying he could have benefitted from voice therapy from an SLP who specialized in voice disorders. After surgery, a therapy such as Confidential Voice Therapy could have benefitted Paul.
@@jessicab7063 I read somewhere that he had surgery on his vocal cords I believe in 2011. It was right there that he lost his voice drastically (which to be honest, was growing somewhat raspier since the mid 2000's but still had it's power)...Paul can't even do the vibrato he was doing just prior to that anymore....There are other singers, like Glenn Hughes, being the biggest example who is older and hasn't lost one ounce of his voice, I'd even say he sounds better now, even though he sings much higher and just as forcefully and constantly tours even now since the late sixties..I wonder what happened...If it was botched surgery (which I believe ended Julie Andrews long career), or if he simply didn't recuperate properly...
ferox965 I believe at the least he didn’t recover properly. He actually has given CREDIT (unfounded imo) to his ENT doc in a video. Ultimately I think he had a mediocre surgery followed by a rush to push his voice too quickly. Wish he had a better surgeon and then saw you AND toured with at least one rest day between each show. Alas...we can at least wish. Oh well.
There's a lack of life in that guitar solo, just sounds dead and buried. Bruce always made this song with his solo, the whole song and solo just always had energy and life. Unlike here sadly.
So it's a bit rough around the edges and yeah Paul's vox are pretty much blown but I still dig it. Not a Kiss apologist either (I think the Elder sucks and Revenge is overrated as hell) but just appreciating the tunes and performances (as ramshackle as they may be) because Kiss have been around for so long (over 45 years!) I think we fans tend to take them for granted but it's soon coming to it's end (and given the condition of Stanley's voice and the lipsynch/playback controversy--not a fine of it myself--perhaps it's for the best) and I'm gonna miss 'em.
I love how at the beginning when Paul's doing the chorus a cappella, Tommy's singing every word with him to cover Paul's voice. I love these guys, and I have huge respect for Paul as a person, but his voice just isn't what it used to be...
PER ME LORO SONO STRA FICHISSIMI !!!!!! LI AMO !!!! E NON SMETTERÓ MAI DI AMARLI E DI SENTIRLI !!!!!!!!!!! E Comunque Paul Ha Ancora una bella voce !!!!!! SONO LA MIGLIORE ROCK BAND DI SEMPRE !!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥😘😘😘❤❤❤
@@onearmedwampa you say that as if this is a difficult chorus to sing and that not many people would be able to sing it at his age. That's not the case lol
@@jaykapolka6111 No, I say that as if it's been 34 years since it was released and 45 fucking years he's been touring year round and not many people's voice stay in singing shape after that. Go be a condescending prick somewhere else.
It's not playback. I am pretty sure they overdubbed many vocal parts. In the end of this video you can hear the chorus, but Gene and Tommy are out of their mics.
I´m really sorry but Paul´s voice is gone. I´m a huge kiss fan since 1977 but i think is time to retire. Right now even Gene sings way better than Paul. I´m not a troll. Just a huge fan that can see the sad reality. Take care man.

this crowd is dead because Paul sounds like he's dead and they know it. it's called reality. face it.
this isn't about pitch change. this is a shot voice that isn't coming back. vanity prevents him from realizing this and if he really cared about his fans he would just stop. this is pathetic. his vocal folds will no longer close. they are in a constant state of inflammation.
Dude I'm all about giving the guy a break but common man, he sounds HORRIBLE here. I can't believe they filmed this for a DVD.

A true fan.The only comment ill make is ticket prices are high so expectations are higher. at least to me.
Lol, you will just embarrass yourself

I think he just wears out his voice getting the crowd warmed up.
They changed the music's tone to Paul sing the song
Missing 2 of the major ingredients, Carr & Kulick
And pauls voice
Carr is dead bud
@@leematoadgaming4945 no shit dumbass
Bruce is the one no one can play his solos like he do
Finally someone notices Bruce and Eric’s absence instead of ace and Peter’s.
a great band...rock us all
Kiss are awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Para enloquecer, bailar, gritar, alucinar, genial KISS. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱❤️
Kiss will always rock 🤘
Much love KISS
Paul kicks some fucking ass during the end, total respect.

There's a lack of life in all of Tommy's solos unfortunately
Tommy is amazing but there is a lack of life in his solos!
Tommy sucks all of the others are better than tommy
He butchers this solo every single time he plays it. Might help if he played a guitar that allowed him to play the solo correctly.
It's true....the original solo had a feeling ....this is like nothing
So it's a bit rough around the edges and yeah Paul's vox are pretty much blown but I still dig it.

Pretty blonde at 3:20 is so adorable!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
He has nice arms and I love his outfit with dangly chains and fringes.
Loooove it❤️
I Saw This In Theaters
Great close up thanks Till. Great great song p'd they didnt add it to the End of the Road
The Woman at 0.10 is beautiful.
❤❤
0:27 Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks.....
then at 1:20 the Freewheel Burning laser show comes out. LOL
littlegoobie Two of my all time favorite songs.
Thanks so much , please post do you love me
I love how at the beginning when Paul's doing the chorus a cappella, Tommy's singing every word with him to cover Paul's voice. I love these guys, and I have huge respect for Paul as a person, but his voice just isn't what it used to be...
Did Paul yell "Hey" even though he wasn't by the mic?
Yeah he did hmmm🙄🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️
It’s because, they had 14 shows, and this record is a compilation of several shoots, this suck goes to director of this video...
At least he is singing live - he tracked this one for many years so we’ll done I say.
Yeah the only thing is he is out of tune at some moments
Unfortunately his voice was almost gone back then
the band is so cool but my freing say hi come to cjespcenter look it up came come on tuesday 18 see you there
神曲や～！
I noticed gene is always using an open note. Like damn I didn't know kiss songs were that easy
Only in the 80's. Check out his bass parts from older songs.
3:43 he’s caught lip syncing. He wasn’t near the mic when he shouted “hey”
they just used footage from different shows I guess. It happens a lot
2:21 is the most painful thing I’ve ever heard from Kiss
I'm dead😁😂😁😂
Dont be so rude man u trythat a nearly 70
I love this song but without a Pauls voice at a 100% and only a half arsed guitar solo it just isnt the same.
Alex Cook well Paul isnt 30 anymore and Tommy isnt Bruce. Still I love KISS
You dont know your arse from you a hole. They hit it right on

I'm a massive fan and own every album but that was painfully bad. They are done. Stanley sounds like a cat being strangled
3:45 Someone (sound like Pauls voice shouts "Hey!") is that dubbed?? WTF???
Lol😂😂
2:21 Sounds like someone steps on a cat's tail with a 5-feet boot 🤣
There is some serious pitch correction (autotune) going on with Paul’s vox here. It’s not even subtle.
Down tuned to the key of S.
Shit
OMG I can't even listen to Paul anymore
This is terrible.
Jesus Tommy if you can't play other guitar players parts and kiss songs you might don't want to be a kiss guitar player
Blu-Ray ANARCHY well, given that Ace can barely play his own solos perhaps he should also take that advice.
@@brandonhendrix7223 youre thinking of Vinnie Vincent
@Matthew Boeding it doesnt matter it still doesnt sound like the actaul solos form the other kiss guitar players
@@Blu-RayANARCHY Ha! Difference is when Ace can't play his solos it still sounds good. When VV can't? Stink city!

Looks like playback
i think they are overdubs in chorus but its not 100% playback
It's not playback. I am pretty sure they overdubbed many vocal parts. In the end of this video you can hear the chorus, but Gene and Tommy are out of their mics.
Gabriel Macedo Um brasileiro aee kk , por isso achei que gera playback , da pra ouvir o back vocal e o gene tava longe do microfone
they need to improve audio cos this song is on vegas live album
It’s because, they had 14 shows, and this record is a compilation of several shoots, this suck goes to director of this video...
Esto está muy mal editado
Ff
Auto tune!
And Tommy ruins another Bruce solo
Bruce was so much better
George is better than bruce😂
You wanted the best you got overdubs. Paul´s voice it´s a fucking joke.
And you sing where? You are a fucking TROLL joke
I´m really sorry but Paul´s voice is gone. I´m a huge kiss fan since 1977 but i think is time to retire. Right now even Gene sings way better than Paul. I´m not a troll. Just a huge fan that can see the sad reality. Take care man.
Cmon hes not 30 anymore show some respect
This is such a wussy song!!!
Just for you 😂
Oh no, sex is failing!!
