Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar/Starchild) is lead vocals on most songs, Gene (bass/Demon) takes lead on most of the heavier songs and Peter (drummer/Cat) sings lead on a few (mostly ballads like Beth, Hard Luck Woman) and Ace (lead guitar/Spaceman) also sings lead on a few. All four of them put solo albums out under the Kiss brand in 1978.
Song is from the 1992 album Revenge. During the period they took off the makeup. They put it back on in 1996, and have worn it since. Paul sings lead on most songs. Gene does sing lead on some, another is "God of Thunder"
I hope you ladies take a chance off the channel to watch the Official Music Video... The imagery and clearer vocals make it a much better song. Gene does sing a huge number of KISS songs and there are even a few where he shares vocals with Paul Stanley. Some of Gene's best are God of Thunder, Calling Dr. Love, War Machine and Deuce. KISS wanted to be a band like the Beatles where all of the members sang lead on songs and they did.
They all sing lead at times. Each member is like a comic book superhero, and all own their personas. Demon, Starchild, Space Ace, and Catman. The Catman drummer has a great voice. You will enjoy him on "Hard Luck Woman" and live in Houston 1977, "Hooligan". The three of you are so cool, and sweet. Great job on the reactions. Peace 🤟
This incredible performance comes from Kiss "Rock The Nation LIVE!" which was recorded live in Virginia Beach, VA on July 25, 2004 and in Bristow, VA (Washington DC) July 24, 2004. This was the then-current lineup of the band (which you see here): Gene Simmons - Bass, Vocals Paul Stanley - Guitar, Vocals Tommy Thayer - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals Eric Singer - Drums, Backing Vocals
Garth Brooks covered "Hard Luck Woman", by Kiss. Y'all should also hear another couple songs called "I Love It Loud" and "Dr. Love" that Gene sings on.
one of the rare songs from non make up era that been played live in make up. this song was on the album Revenge and this has not been played since the revenge tour and for them to add it to the set list in 2004 must been a treat for fans back then.
One thing that shocked me about this album... The Revenge album was the first one they released after the unfortunate passing of their drummer Eric Carr. Cancer took him from us far to early. They brought in a new drummer, Eric Singer, who played with them until the end. The shocking part was this... When I picked up the CD, for the first time KISS had a blonde member of the group. That really stopped me in my tracks. Being a life long KISS fan that really shocked me. Not sure why it hit me so hard, but it did. In closing... Congrats on the Blue Ribbon Lulu :)
You really need to watch some live classic 70's era KISS! Check out "Firehouse" from either Tokyo,Japan 1977 or Houston,TX 1977 and "God of Thunder" from Japan 1977. "I stole your Love" from Hoston,TX 1977 is cool too! Anything from 1975-1978 is when KISS was at their peak of popularity with the 4 original band members!!
Gene Simmons -bass guitar, pyrotechnics, blood. Lead vocalist on more songs than people might realize.. Backup vocals on a lot of songs. He also had a 50s sock hop themed show at a venue somewhere in Vegas I think... If I remember right that was back in the mid 2000s. 😊❤
Garth Brooks was likely a Kiss fan - he did a cover of their aong Hard Luck Woman. I've never heard it - the original sung by the drummer Peter Criss is the only one I need to hear.
I dont remember what Gene said that liquid was actually made of,but i seem to remember clearly that he said "it tastes like sh*t" So when you see his stankface,its probably that bitter taste helping in him keeping a straight,grumpy looking face. I liked to see Lulu laughing when she saw Gene going wild and "bloody". I know he has scared many a kid or young teen over the years lol. Funfact: Gene Simmons has actually approached Angelina Jordan and praised her,she felt really awkward of course but holds that as one of her many special moments already,where she has met huge stars and even people she has looked up to herself. But i respect him for taking his time to approach her and giving her compliments for her live performance. Unholy is actually one of theyr "hidden hits",it isnt usually requested as some of theyr first songs to reaction channels. Its a solid KISS hit by all means,it just tends to "be easily forgotten". So im glad someone recommended this live performance for you. Giving you a chance to hear Gene singing lead. Thats a special thing KISS had,with theyr original lineup pretty much all 4 members could sing lead if need be,but especially Gene and Paul are strong lead vocalists. But also does a good job doing backup vocals for one another.
The blood that Gene used was the following: Ingredients in Simmons’ fake blood: Eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, red food coloring, maple syrup and corn starch. Brought to a boil in a sauce pan and let cool.
Ya'll need to dig deeper into kiss catalog. Peter criss the drummer sings beth. For a great gene simmons vocal check out All The Way from the Hotter Than Hell album 1974. Ive been a kiss fan since the beginning in 1974. Dig in and dig up.
Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons were the main songwriters of Kiss, but the original band also had drummer Peter Criss and lead guitarist Ace Frehley contribute vocals... Peter Criss had the big hit 'Beth'... and he also had a great, bluesy voice for Kiss songs like 'Hard luck woman' ... 'Black diamond' ... 'Hooligan'... 'Strange ways'... 🔥🤘 Ace Frehley did not want to sing initially, but that changed in 1977 when he did the Kiss song 'Shock me'... and then his 1978 solo album became a successful record w/ his lead vocals... Ace then sang lead on more of his songs - 'Talk to me'... 'Hard times'... and a great cover of '2000 Man' (by the Rolling Stones) ... Gene Simmons sang lead on some of Ace's Kiss songs like 'Cold gin' ... 'Parasite' ... 🔥🤘 After he left Kiss in 1982, he tried his hand as a solo artist... his band Frehley's Comet was short-lived and his solo album "Trouble walkin' " (1989) was not a commercial success... After he left Kiss a second time in 2002, he took time off to clean up yet again from drugs and alcohol and returned in 2009 w/ a fairly successful solo album 'Anomaly'... and his solo records have charted consistently since. His 2014 album 'Space invader' charted at #9 in the US.
Most fun live band ever!!! I've seen them close to 40 times. Took a few vacations and hit the road. This song is from the non make-up era. Ever since their reunion, they filtered in the popular non make-up era. You really should do Shout it out Loud from the reunion tour opening night at Tiger Stadium. You'll love it. Been seeing them live since 1982. I really love seeing you guys enjoy this band. Great reaction gals!!! 🤟🍻😝
He gets lowered from the rafters while the cameras is showing Tommy soloing and Paul with the pick... React Shock Me (1977) please with Ace Frehley singing and his solo.., it's 8 minutes long.... congratulations Lulu!!!!
One of my all time favorite Kiss songs. One of their heaviest. Was super disappointed when they cancelled their final ever concert in Toronto last December. Saw Kiss first time when I was in grade 7 in 1980....
It's possible that this is Kiss' best song - certainly their best lyrics imo. It's hard for me to see past the Alive/Ace Frehley era - although I dig most of the albums that came before Revenge - but this song has always stood out to me above everything else they've ever done.
Written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent lol Makes me wish they could have kept Vinnie in the band I was there through the ages Chained slaves to their cages I have seen you eat your own I'm the cycle of pain Of a thousand year old reign I'm suicide and salvation The omen to nations That you worship on all fours I'm the infection and famine That's knocking at your door I am the incubus I lay the egg in you The worm that burrows through your brain But you are the beast That calls me by my name You send your children to war To serve bastards and whores So now you know You created me On the day that you were born I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies You know I'm Unholy From the left hand of power comes The Father of Lies
KISS is a definite experience to see live. Spectacular would hardly begin to describe. I took my youngest when he was about 9(just turned 22) and his eyes were about the same size as the young fella they showed. Good on you Lulu for taking the time to appreciate your blue 💙 ribbon supporters. Keep it up you all. PS. Yea I have been to a very above average amount of big concerts(metal rock, blues, country, and Everything in Between) Bluesfingers1 ("Music of Everything)
*THIS is the one you need to watch* They always opened their shows with this song. Kiss - Detroit Rock City 2006 Live Video ua-cam.com/video/fTqLf1A-Q-4/v-deo.html
Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley were always Kiss to me. I tolerated Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss was alright. But I was there for Gene's vocals and Ace's solos. Check out their song Black Diamond - Live in 1975 - to hear their drummer Peter Criss sing though. He had a great rock voice.
He comes down from the rafters when the lights go down during Tommy's guitar solo middle of song. The crowd only see Tommy in the spotlight so Gene can be lowered to the ground in darkness. Check out Kiss live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. ....love gun. ua-cam.com/video/7Oa6atjMYnk/v-deo.html
They performed God of Thunder in the same fashion. One more thing. That's food coloring not blood, but if you want to see him spit fire watch Firehouse or War Machine.
great reaction I will mention this for a much more clearer version check out the authentic video of it there is another song is "I just Wanna" original video off the same album
Peter Criss sung Beth, Paul Stanley does I was made for loving you and him and Gene both sing Rock and Roll all night. Check out Gene doing lead on God of Thunder
Kiss Pretty Much Invented And Brought The 'Show' Element To Rock To This Extreme Pyro, Flying. Etc.Just About EVERYONE Has Taken A Page Or Two From Kiss In Their Live Perfomances..Yet Never Get Credit..Even Merch Which EVERYONE Sell's Today.They We're Truely Ahead Of Their Time..
Kiss is one of my favorite groups all times and I would dress up like them in school. My Gym teacher actually called me Kiss through out my High School years. Their music was considered Glam Rock at the time (got to see them in 76 ,77, and 78 ) and their drummer was one of the biggest influences on my drumming at the time with his massive drum kit that in 1978, (at age 16) I went out and bought myself a 12 piece double bass kit ( 12 drums and 8 cymbals) and still playing them to this day. (at age 61).Would love to see you react to another great 70s Glam Rock bands called The Sweet (later just Sweet). The songs are Ballroom Blitz and Fox on the Run. This group had several hits like Little Willie, Love is like Oxygen and of course the 2 songs mentioned. I think Donna would recognise some of them, maybe.
Gene Simmons sang lead on Rock and Roll All Night. Peter Criss (drummer) sang Beth. Where do you think Garth Brooks got the ideas for his stage antics?
25 years or so ago at the Carolina Coliseum I saw them perform. I thought I didn't have really good seats, about 3 rows up from the edge of the first balcony facing the stage. About a third of the way through the show I noticed a small platform directly in front of me about 4 ft square just outside of the balcony railing. As I was wondering whay it was there the next song started and Paul Stanley "flew" over the main floor audience on wires and landed on that platform and for the duration of that song I had one of the best seats in the house!
Garth Brooks says one of his influences was KISS! His stage shows copies some of a KISS show! He even sang the song "Hard Luck Woman" backed by KISS on their KISS My A$$ album. Great video ladies!
I was 10 when they started and have enjoyed 50 years of the band. There have been many changes in the band members. Some wore their own style of makeup, and some members never got the chance to become a character. Gene and Paul sang the majority of the songs. Peter, the drummer, and Ace, the lead guitarist, sang most times a song an album. Ace and Peter would leave and Eric Carr, the new drummer became the Fox with appropriate makeup. Vinnie Vincent would replace Ace and have Ank makeup. Eric Carr would succumb to cancer and be replaced by Eric Singer, who, until the end of the touring band, wore the Cat makeup. Vinnie would be replaced by Mark St. John and later Bruce Kulick, neither of which wore makeup. Finally, Tommy Thayer, would wear the Ace makeup to end the touring band. Confusing, I know. Yes, a period of time, the band took off the makeup. Now close your eyes, Lulu, ladies try a reaction to Lick It Up or Heavens On Fire to non makeup videos. I would watch the official videos. Finally go back and find a concert video from the mid 70's. I would suggest Firehouse or Strutter. Great job. Hope I helped you some.
Seeing you 3 react to this was so funny! So to clear things up...every member of KISS sings, mostly Paul and Gene sing lead equally although Paul is the main frontman. And Peter Criss sings Beth.
I was a show where His harness didn't work so he couldn't fly ! You go to KISS concert for the show the music is a bonus . wait till you see him breathe fire in the song FIREHOUSE !
That's not real blood. Strawberry syrup, yogurt, egg yolks. The blood & the spitting fire have been bassist Gene Simmon's thing since 1973 at every concert. He liked the old 1930's horror movies as a kid.That's where he got most of his character,the bat wings "The Demon"
There are so many comments and songs, the Intro song Detroit Rock City in 2023 is very high energy: Their intro line: You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best: KISS-- check it out
Fun KISS fact: KISS with makeup is family friendly, language and crowd shots on the big screen are kid friendly whereas KISS without makeup the big screen is NSFW crowd shots. Looking back as an adult I want to thank all the photographers who kept kayfabe and didn't print pictures of them sans makeup. Love all three of y'all!!
Gene Simmons (bass/ vocals) has always been an attention wh++e 😝 of Kiss (u have heard him sing "Rock and roll all nite" - one of their biggest hits) ... Gene demands attention onstage from the fans, which is why he became the patsy doing the blood-spitting... flying to the rafters on wires... and breathing fire as the 'demon' (and yes, his tongue is that long!) ... Offstage, Gene was getting the attention of the women and he did not turn down any offers to satiate him 😂 but he did date some big names in entertainment - Cher... and Diana Ross... 😲 However, he was ironically the first member of Kiss to settle down... He met Playboy model/ actress Shannon Tweed back in 1984 and he bought her a house so that they could live together (Even though he claimed they saw other people, Shannon Tweed clarified that it was an act... and they were in a committed relationship)... Gene & Shannon had their son Nick Simmons in 1989... and their daughter Sophie was born in 1992... His family did the reality TV series "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels"... and Gene and Shannon officially married in 2011. Paul Stanley (vocals/ guitar) is the primary member of Kiss and has written the most hits w/ the band... When Kiss took their makeup off in 1983 (It was a new line-up by then w/ Paul & Gene), the band was successful again... but Gene Simmons was not 100% invested in Kiss anymore because he had lost the "demon" persona onstage without the makeup, so he indulged in more acting roles in movies and TV... Paul Stanley had to deliver the hit singles and became the star in Kiss, so Gene did not have any major songs from 1983 to 1990 ( Listen to the Kiss songs by Gene from those years - 'Secretly cruel' ... 'Burn b++ch burn' ... 'Not for the innocent'... to hear why!) Paul Stanley had the memorable voice in Kiss and had the stage persona + the songs to make the biggest impact... He delivered the hits like 'Creatures of the night' ... 'Tears are falling' ... "Heaven's on fire" ... 'Lick it up'... 'Reason to live'... 'Unholy' came in 1992 in the last non-makeup years of Kiss from the album 'Revenge'... After 1990, Paul Stanley had apparently told Gene that he needed better songs because Kiss needed a heavier album in the 90's... So, Gene Simmons actually delivered some of his best songs on that record... 'Unholy' became the first single... 'Domino' was another of his odes to sex ... and he and Paul wrote a stellar song together - "God gave rock n roll to you II" This performance was filmed in 2004... by that point, Kiss was back in makeup, but original members Peter Criss (drums) and Ace Frehley (lead guitar) were replaced by Eric Singer (drums) and Tommy Thayer (lead guitar) who took over their makeup characters onstage... I went to that 'Rock the Nation' tour w/ Poison opening and it was one of the most fun concerts I have ever attended. But in the makeup years, Gene had quite a few Kiss klassiks that he had written and sang - "Deuce" ... 'Calling Dr. Love' ... ''Christine sixteen" ... "Let me go rock n' roll" ... 'I love it loud' ... 'War machine'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 His 1978 Gene Simmons solo album was not what Kiss fans expected from the 'demon'... Songs like - 'See you tonite' ... ''Burning up with fever'... were rather mellow.
I was looking through my KISS collection and found a song you three have got to see. Just to go a little further down the KISS rabbit hole, and see yet another side of KISS, you should check out the Rise Up To It video. I think you will really like it. :)
Hi Ladies.. Great reactioin.. LOL Very scared faces when Gene did the Blood tongue and rolled back eyes trademark thing.. Ha Ha Love it.. One of the greatest bands of all time... Please chack out Nemophila doing a cover of one of there famous songs "Detroit rock city" 5 Ladies from Japan, Killer musiciens having the time of their lives.. They do it in Full Kiss make up too.. It's very cool.. Gene Simmons saw it and his comment was "Really great!!! Grrrl Power." Best wishes from France
Gene Simmons had a more raunchy and took lead vocals on some of Kiss' best song: - Unholy - Deuce - Calling Dr.Love - Let Me Know (A Beatle-esque song) - Rock and Roll All Nite - I Love It Loud Even did a ballad which is pretty good called "A World Without Heroes"
If you guys ever get a chance, check out (Kiss - Tears are falling) No, it's not a sappy song. It's a really cool video. You'll get a kick out of it. Fun to watch.
Another sugestion from KISS: "Black Diamond" from the Animalize Uncensored live concert. The drummer sings it, his name is Eric Carr (RIP), and he was one of the best drummers I've seen play. "I love it loud" is other really cool song by them.
Beth-- either peter criss or eric singer or eric carr ,depending on which one is the drummer at the time...Original 4-- Gene Simmons,bass,,paul stanley,rhythm guitar,,,Ace Frehley---Fray-lee,,lead guitar,Peter Criss,drums...Then Peter left and in came Eric Carr,,then Ace left and in came Vinnie Vincet,then Gene and Paul told him to hit the bricks and in came Mark St.John,he left due to arthritis issues and in came( see above)...
As a kid growing up in the late 70's Gene spitting blood was the coolest thing ever.
Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar/Starchild) is lead vocals on most songs, Gene (bass/Demon) takes lead on most of the heavier songs and Peter (drummer/Cat) sings lead on a few (mostly ballads like Beth, Hard Luck Woman) and Ace (lead guitar/Spaceman) also sings lead on a few. All four of them put solo albums out under the Kiss brand in 1978.
Peter and Ace are no longer in the band. This lineup consists of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, and Eric Singer.
Song is from the 1992 album Revenge. During the period they took off the makeup. They put it back on in 1996, and have worn it since.
Paul sings lead on most songs. Gene does sing lead on some, another is "God of Thunder"
they already took the makeup off in 1983.
I hope you ladies take a chance off the channel to watch the Official Music Video... The imagery and clearer vocals make it a much better song. Gene does sing a huge number of KISS songs and there are even a few where he shares vocals with Paul Stanley. Some of Gene's best are God of Thunder, Calling Dr. Love, War Machine and Deuce. KISS wanted to be a band like the Beatles where all of the members sang lead on songs and they did.
I agree the revenge version or Alive III Are much better versions
They all sing lead at times. Each member is like a comic book superhero, and all own their personas. Demon, Starchild, Space Ace, and Catman. The Catman drummer has a great voice. You will enjoy him on "Hard Luck Woman" and live in Houston 1977, "Hooligan". The three of you are so cool, and sweet. Great job on the reactions. Peace 🤟
Thanks
Except during the mid to late 80's when Gene left Paul to do everything while he messed around in Hollywood
Catman- Peter Chris was also lead on Beth.
This incredible performance comes from Kiss "Rock The Nation LIVE!" which was recorded live in Virginia Beach, VA on July 25, 2004 and in Bristow, VA (Washington DC) July 24, 2004. This was the then-current lineup of the band (which you see here):
Gene Simmons - Bass, Vocals
Paul Stanley - Guitar, Vocals
Tommy Thayer - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
Eric Singer - Drums, Backing Vocals
Garth Brooks covered "Hard Luck Woman", by Kiss.
Y'all should also hear another couple songs called "I Love It Loud" and "Dr. Love" that Gene sings on.
one of the rare songs from non make up era that been played live in make up. this song was on the album Revenge and this has not been played since the revenge tour and for them to add it to the set list in 2004 must been a treat for fans back then.
One thing that shocked me about this album... The Revenge album was the first one they released after the unfortunate passing of their drummer Eric Carr. Cancer took him from us far to early. They brought in a new drummer, Eric Singer, who played with them until the end. The shocking part was this... When I picked up the CD, for the first time KISS had a blonde member of the group. That really stopped me in my tracks. Being a life long KISS fan that really shocked me. Not sure why it hit me so hard, but it did. In closing... Congrats on the Blue Ribbon Lulu :)
You really need to watch some live classic 70's era KISS! Check out "Firehouse" from either Tokyo,Japan 1977 or Houston,TX 1977 and "God of Thunder" from Japan 1977. "I stole your Love" from Hoston,TX 1977 is cool too! Anything from 1975-1978 is when KISS was at their peak of popularity with the 4 original band members!!
Gene Simmons -bass guitar, pyrotechnics, blood. Lead vocalist on more songs than people might realize.. Backup vocals on a lot of songs. He also had a 50s sock hop themed show at a venue somewhere in Vegas I think... If I remember right that was back in the mid 2000s. 😊❤
Garth Brooks was likely a Kiss fan - he did a cover of their aong Hard Luck Woman. I've never heard it - the original sung by the drummer Peter Criss is the only one I need to hear.
Garth Brooks was a huge Kiss fan growing up.
I dont remember what Gene said that liquid was actually made of,but i seem to remember clearly that he said "it tastes like sh*t" So when you see his stankface,its probably that bitter taste helping in him keeping a straight,grumpy looking face.
I liked to see Lulu laughing when she saw Gene going wild and "bloody". I know he has scared many a kid or young teen over the years lol. Funfact: Gene Simmons has actually approached Angelina Jordan and praised her,she felt really awkward of course but holds that as one of her many special moments already,where she has met huge stars and even people she has looked up to herself. But i respect him for taking his time to approach her and giving her compliments for her live performance.
Unholy is actually one of theyr "hidden hits",it isnt usually requested as some of theyr first songs to reaction channels. Its a solid KISS hit by all means,it just tends to "be easily forgotten". So im glad someone recommended this live performance for you. Giving you a chance to hear Gene singing lead. Thats a special thing KISS had,with theyr original lineup pretty much all 4 members could sing lead if need be,but especially Gene and Paul are strong lead vocalists. But also does a good job doing backup vocals for one another.
The blood that Gene used was the following: Ingredients in Simmons’ fake blood: Eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, red food coloring, maple syrup and corn starch. Brought to a boil in a sauce pan and let cool.
I have to say, i'm a totally fan of the 70's stuff. I remenber the concert in zürich at the hallenstadion. A great bass solo.
Ya'll need to dig deeper into kiss catalog. Peter criss the drummer sings beth. For a great gene simmons vocal check out All The Way from the Hotter Than Hell album 1974. Ive been a kiss fan since the beginning in 1974. Dig in and dig up.
Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons were the main songwriters of Kiss, but the original band also had drummer Peter Criss and lead guitarist Ace Frehley contribute vocals... Peter Criss had the big hit 'Beth'... and he also had a great, bluesy voice for Kiss songs like 'Hard luck woman' ... 'Black diamond' ... 'Hooligan'... 'Strange ways'... 🔥🤘
Ace Frehley did not want to sing initially, but that changed in 1977 when he did the Kiss song 'Shock me'... and then his 1978 solo album became a successful record w/ his lead vocals... Ace then sang lead on more of his songs - 'Talk to me'... 'Hard times'... and a great cover of '2000 Man' (by the Rolling Stones) ... Gene Simmons sang lead on some of Ace's Kiss songs like 'Cold gin' ... 'Parasite' ... 🔥🤘
After he left Kiss in 1982, he tried his hand as a solo artist... his band Frehley's Comet was short-lived and his solo album "Trouble walkin' " (1989) was not a commercial success...

He Plays The Bass. And He Is Lead On Calling Dr. Love, And Rock And Roll All Night.
He gets lowered from the rafters while the cameras is showing Tommy soloing and Paul with the pick... React Shock Me (1977) please with Ace Frehley singing and his solo.., it's 8 minutes long.... congratulations Lulu!!!!
Gene was the lead vocalist on the song rock and roll allnight
One of my all time favorite Kiss songs. One of their heaviest. Was super disappointed when they cancelled their final ever concert in Toronto last December. Saw Kiss first time when I was in grade 7 in 1980....
He used to breathe fire back in the day😄
Gene did the fire stunt til end of their career
It's possible that this is Kiss' best song - certainly their best lyrics imo. It's hard for me to see past the Alive/Ace Frehley era - although I dig most of the albums that came before Revenge - but this song has always stood out to me above everything else they've ever done.
Written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent lol
Makes me wish they could have kept Vinnie in the band
I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies
You know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes
The Father of Lies
KISS's Lead guitar Ace Frehley songs Shock Me and New York Groove. Rock and Roll Alnight 1977
Beth was sung by Peter Criss, the drummer
Peter Chris- drums, also sang "beth"
Gene sings some great songs. I love it loud, God of Thunder, Domino, Deuce, Rock n Roll all nite, just to name a few.
KISS is a definite experience to see live. Spectacular would hardly begin to describe. I took my youngest when he was about 9(just turned 22) and his eyes were about the same size as the young fella they showed. Good on you Lulu for taking the time to appreciate your blue 💙 ribbon supporters. Keep it up you all. PS. Yea I have been to a very above average amount of big concerts(metal rock, blues, country, and Everything in Between)
Bluesfingers1 ("Music of Everything)
Thank you
This is my fav KISS song and one of my fav KISS albums.
Another great Kiss song is "I love it Loud" from the early 80's. The music video is great.
Domino is incredible, and he (Gene) sings lead on it.
Seeing KISS live is something everyone needs to experience.
Congratulations on the blue ribbon, Lulu!!!
Thank you! 😊
*THIS is the one you need to watch* They always opened their shows with this song.
Kiss - Detroit Rock City 2006 Live Video ua-cam.com/video/fTqLf1A-Q-4/v-deo.html
Saw 'em in the seventies on the Hotter Then Hell tour when they could still move and rock.
Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley were always Kiss to me. I tolerated Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss was alright. But I was there for Gene's vocals and Ace's solos.
Check out their song Black Diamond - Live in 1975 - to hear their drummer Peter Criss sing though. He had a great rock voice.
He comes down from the rafters when the lights go down during Tommy's guitar solo middle of song. The crowd only see Tommy in the spotlight so Gene can be lowered to the ground in darkness.
Check out Kiss live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. ....love gun. ua-cam.com/video/7Oa6atjMYnk/v-deo.html
They performed God of Thunder in the same fashion. One more thing. That's food coloring not blood, but if you want to see him spit fire watch Firehouse or War Machine.
Gene sings Rock and Roll all nite, Deuce, Calling Dr Love and many more. Great reaction, I was waiting for the blood comments and you delivered🤣
The tongue reactions are priceless!
great reaction I will mention this for a much more clearer version check out the authentic video of it there is another song is "I just Wanna" original video off the same album
Totally big audience, great song, old song, but never played on the radios. That's amazing!!!!!!!!!
Peter Criss sings Beth. Most songs are either Paul or Gene singing.
All three of your faces were priceless! Lol.
Gene Simmons sings the song that is considered their anthem Rock and Roll All Nite.
Love Gun on the Psycho Circus Tour has always been my favorite.
Look at the crowd size, typical turn out for KISS, massive crowds.
My favourite band all time. Well done and great reaction ladies!
Thank you!
you should see an unplugged video of KISS I would suggest Coming Home and Nothing to lose off the MTV unplugged concert
Peter Criss sung Beth, Paul Stanley does I was made for loving you and him and Gene both sing Rock and Roll all night. Check out Gene doing lead on God of Thunder
Kiss Pretty Much Invented And Brought The 'Show' Element To Rock To This Extreme Pyro, Flying. Etc.Just About EVERYONE Has Taken A Page Or Two From Kiss In Their Live Perfomances..Yet Never Get Credit..Even Merch Which EVERYONE Sell's Today.They We're Truely Ahead Of Their Time..
Kathy, the look on your face!!
The looks on your faces were priceless! LOL.
Kiss is one of my favorite groups all times and I would dress up like them in school. My Gym teacher actually called me Kiss through out my High School years. Their music was considered Glam Rock at the time (got to see them in 76 ,77, and 78 ) and their drummer was one of the biggest influences on my drumming at the time with his massive drum kit that in 1978, (at age 16) I went out and bought myself a 12 piece double bass kit ( 12 drums and 8 cymbals) and still playing them to this day. (at age 61).Would love to see you react to another great 70s Glam Rock bands called The Sweet (later just Sweet). The songs are Ballroom Blitz and Fox on the Run. This group had several hits like Little Willie, Love is like Oxygen and of course the 2 songs mentioned. I think Donna would recognise some of them, maybe.
Gene Simmons sang lead on Rock and Roll All Night. Peter Criss (drummer) sang Beth. Where do you think Garth Brooks got the ideas for his stage antics?
True
25 years or so ago at the Carolina Coliseum I saw them perform. I thought I didn't have really good seats, about 3 rows up from the edge of the first balcony facing the stage. About a third of the way through the show I noticed a small platform directly in front of me about 4 ft square just outside of the balcony railing. As I was wondering whay it was there the next song started and Paul Stanley "flew" over the main floor audience on wires and landed on that platform and for the duration of that song I had one of the best seats in the house!
Now you get it...KISS always wanted to be the band that they wanted to see. Kiss were the originators of putting the SHOW in the Show
The look of terror on her face for most of the video is awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
Gene Simmons sang on Rock and Roll All Nite, which was the most recent KISS song you reacted to.
Check out rock and roll all night. 1996 from under the Brooklyn Bridge.
Garth Brooks says one of his influences was KISS! His stage shows copies some of a KISS show! He even sang the song "Hard Luck Woman" backed by KISS on their KISS My A$$ album. Great video ladies!
😂🤣 the kid at 3:08, after witnessing The Demon spit blood, is so entranced he's ready to serve Satan's every word 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
The thing paul stanley had in his mouth was a guitar pick
I was 10 when they started and have enjoyed 50 years of the band.
There have been many changes in the band members.
Some wore their own style of makeup, and some members never got the chance to become a character.
Gene and Paul sang the majority of the songs. Peter, the drummer, and Ace, the lead guitarist, sang most times a song an album.
Ace and Peter would leave and Eric Carr, the new drummer became the Fox with appropriate makeup.
Vinnie Vincent would replace Ace and have Ank makeup.
Eric Carr would succumb to cancer and be replaced by Eric Singer, who, until the end of the touring band, wore the Cat makeup.
Vinnie would be replaced by Mark St. John and later Bruce Kulick, neither of which wore makeup.
Finally, Tommy Thayer, would wear the Ace makeup to end the touring band.
Confusing, I know.
Yes, a period of time, the band took off the makeup.
Now close your eyes, Lulu, ladies try a reaction to Lick It Up or Heavens On Fire to non makeup videos. I would watch the official videos.
Finally go back and find a concert video from the mid 70's. I would suggest Firehouse or Strutter.
Great job. Hope I helped you some.
Thanks for the infp
Saw that song live its awesome live
Check out "I Just Wanna" by KISS
Seeing you 3 react to this was so funny! So to clear things up...every member of KISS sings, mostly Paul and Gene sing lead equally although Paul is the main frontman. And Peter Criss sings Beth.
Gene sang Rock & Roll All Nite which I Think you guys did
"Why you bleedin', Gene?" "It's my throat's time of the month"
I was a show where His harness didn't work so he couldn't fly ! You go to KISS concert for the show the music is a bonus . wait till you see him breathe fire in the song FIREHOUSE !
My favorite of the later music. That entire album rocks.
Nice to see them perform this song live.., rare occasion🚨
🎉🎉🎉🎉please Deuce - kiss midnight special🎉🎉🎉🎉
All 4 can sing 👏
kiss does things nobody did back in the days! that's what he call a Rock n Roll show! ;) bands like motly crue inspires a lot from them.
From 1992 album Revenge. No makeup era, it belongs in the makeup era for sure
That's not real blood. Strawberry syrup, yogurt, egg yolks. The blood & the spitting fire have been bassist Gene Simmon's thing since 1973 at every concert. He liked the old 1930's horror movies as a kid.That's where he got most of his character,the bat wings "The Demon"
In an intgerview about a decade ago Gene said the "blood" was honey based
@@DaP84 They might have put some in there. Maple syrup,, eggs, cottage cheese. Just a bunch of stuff to either get it thick or thin
Gene sang two to three songs per album at times. On the early recordings, Paul and Gene sang together frequently.
Beth was done by their original drummer Peter Criss. Now performed by their current drummer Eric Singer
There are so many comments and songs, the Intro song Detroit Rock City in 2023 is very high energy: Their intro line: You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best: KISS-- check it out
Fun KISS fact: KISS with makeup is family friendly, language and crowd shots on the big screen are kid friendly whereas KISS without makeup the big screen is NSFW crowd shots.
Looking back as an adult I want to thank all the photographers who kept kayfabe and didn't print pictures of them sans makeup.
Love all three of y'all!!
Thanks
All Four members of Kiss sing
Garth Brooke's favorite band growing up was KISS,it showed in his live shows,I have on video Garth doing Hard luck woman with Gene &Paul
Gene Simmons (bass/ vocals) has always been an attention wh++e 😝 of Kiss (u have heard him sing "Rock and roll all nite" - one of their biggest hits) ... Gene demands attention onstage from the fans, which is why he became the patsy doing the blood-spitting... flying to the rafters on wires... and breathing fire as the 'demon' (and yes, his tongue is that long!) ... Offstage, Gene was getting the attention of the women and he did not turn down any offers to satiate him 😂 but he did date some big names in entertainment - Cher... and Diana Ross... 😲
However, he was ironically the first member of Kiss to settle down... He met Playboy model/ actress Shannon Tweed back in 1984 and he bought her a house so that they could live together (Even though he claimed they saw other people, Shannon Tweed clarified that it was an act... and they were in a committed relationship)... Gene & Shannon had their son Nick Simmons in 1989... and their daughter Sophie was born in 1992... His family did the reality TV series "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels"... and Gene and Shannon officially married in 2011.
Paul Stanley (vocals/ guitar) is the primary member of Kiss and has written the most hits w/ the band... When Kiss took their makeup off in 1983 (It was a new line-up by then w/ Paul & Gene), the band was successful again... but Gene Simmons was not 100% invested in Kiss anymore because he had lost the "demon" persona onstage without the makeup, so he indulged in more acting roles in movies and TV... Paul Stanley had to deliver the hit singles and became the star in Kiss, so Gene did not have any major songs from 1983 to 1990 ( Listen to the Kiss songs by Gene from those years - 'Secretly cruel' ... 'Burn b++ch burn' ... 'Not for the innocent'... to hear why!)
Paul Stanley had the memorable voice in Kiss and had the stage persona + the songs to make the biggest impact... He delivered the hits like 'Creatures of the night' ... 'Tears are falling' ... "Heaven's on fire" ... 'Lick it up'... 'Reason to live'...
'Unholy' came in 1992 in the last non-makeup years of Kiss from the album 'Revenge'... After 1990, Paul Stanley had apparently told Gene that he needed better songs because Kiss needed a heavier album in the 90's... So, Gene Simmons actually delivered some of his best songs on that record... 'Unholy' became the first single... 'Domino' was another of his odes to sex ... and he and Paul wrote a stellar song together - "God gave rock n roll to you II"
This performance was filmed in 2004... by that point, Kiss was back in makeup, but original members Peter Criss (drums) and Ace Frehley (lead guitar) were replaced by Eric Singer (drums) and Tommy Thayer (lead guitar) who took over their makeup characters onstage... I went to that 'Rock the Nation' tour w/ Poison opening and it was one of the most fun concerts I have ever attended.
But in the makeup years, Gene had quite a few Kiss klassiks that he had written and sang - "Deuce" ... 'Calling Dr. Love' ... ''Christine sixteen" ... "Let me go rock n' roll" ... 'I love it loud' ... 'War machine'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 His 1978 Gene Simmons solo album was not what Kiss fans expected from the 'demon'... Songs like - 'See you tonite' ... ''Burning up with fever'... were rather mellow.
Funny you should mention Garth Brooks. He was a huge kiss fan and Gene referred to Garth as "Country Kiss".
Domino, God of Thunder
I was looking through my KISS collection and found a song you three have got to see. Just to go a little further down the KISS rabbit hole, and see yet another side of KISS, you should check out the Rise Up To It video. I think you will really like it. :)
Hi Ladies.. Great reactioin.. LOL Very scared faces when Gene did the Blood tongue and rolled back eyes trademark thing.. Ha Ha Love it.. One of the greatest bands of all time...
Please chack out Nemophila doing a cover of one of there famous songs "Detroit rock city"
5 Ladies from Japan, Killer musiciens having the time of their lives.. They do it in Full Kiss make up too.. It's very cool..
Gene Simmons saw it and his comment was "Really great!!! Grrrl Power."
Best wishes from France
Hello from Texas
@@KathyLuluandDonna 🤘👍
when asked about his tongue, Gene's response was "what a stupid thing to be famous for"
WOO HOO!!!! Grats Lulu!!!!
💙🐐💙💙🐐💙
Thanks
Gene Simmons had a more raunchy and took lead vocals on some of Kiss' best song:
- Unholy
- Deuce
- Calling Dr.Love
- Let Me Know (A Beatle-esque song)
- Rock and Roll All Nite
- I Love It Loud
Even did a ballad which is pretty good called "A World Without Heroes"
When the lights turn red that’s when they lower him. It was the distraction.
You Should React To I Love It Loud By KISS
If you guys ever get a chance, check out (Kiss - Tears are falling) No, it's not a sappy song. It's a really cool video.
You'll get a kick out of it. Fun to watch.
Another sugestion from KISS: "Black Diamond" from the Animalize Uncensored live concert. The drummer sings it, his name is Eric Carr (RIP), and he was one of the best drummers I've seen play. "I love it loud" is other really cool song by them.
Kiss the greatest showmanship.
To Name A Few. This Video Is From KISS Symphony.
Hard to believe, but, Gene's terrified of heights.
Beth-- either peter criss or eric singer or eric carr ,depending on which one is the drummer at the time...Original 4-- Gene Simmons,bass,,paul stanley,rhythm guitar,,,Ace Frehley---Fray-lee,,lead guitar,Peter Criss,drums...Then Peter left and in came Eric Carr,,then Ace left and in came Vinnie Vincet,then Gene and Paul told him to hit the bricks and in came Mark St.John,he left due to arthritis issues and in came( see above)...
This reaction is great, greetings.
Thanks
