I bet Ive listened to Black Diamond more than 500 times in my life span of being a KISS fan for the past 45 years. This absolutely brought tears to my eyes. The nuances are outstanding and the way he incorporated the end-of-song stage explosions was far beyond anything I’ve expected. Stunning work.
This shows how much admiration and respect Japan has for one of the most phenomenal rock legends for centuries to come. To be remembered in such a harmonization, that is true immortality. To be remembered.
When I heard it for the first time, I was moved and provoked in my nostalgia, now that they are leaving the stage, it would be great if they closed with this work of art, there will be many tears, I know it included... thank you KISS, for all these years
Hay muchas interpretaciones de diferentes canciones con el estilo característico de cada artista, esta versión re crea una canción icónica en una obra maestra con una interpretación magistralmente lograda con un toque absolutamente personal sin perder la escencia del original. La escuché hace más de 25 años por primera vez y aún me dan escalofríos escuchar tan magistral interpretación. Yoshiki, genio.
As a former street worker,prisoner and drug addict and now dying from COPD,I think this song should be dedicated to all girls who do this kind of work to survive.
3:33 is my favorite part of the song .. so many twist and turns ups and downs and hard hits and low soft touching whispers but all done so beautifully to the tune of one of the best kiss songs ever ... genius and a masterpiece!!!
C’est juste magnifique quand un grand fan de Kiss est aussi un virtuose et une star 🎶🇯🇵🎶 En fait, Yoshiki met tellement de coeur dans ce qu’il joue que c’est la seule reprise qui rend vraiment hommage à Kiss dans la compilation tribute. « Kiss My Ass »💜 Forever X 🎶
Greatest artist out there so much meaning to each sound such perfection he is. No one can imitate yoshiki and his way of creating music the way he does the god of creativity to music
I find it amazing that someone so musically talented can yet open his mind and his ears to find the rugged beauty in a song composed by a band not usually renowned for subtlety or musicality. And then to impart that beauty to us via his own musical medium, and strengthen its allure!
Jon Dunmore “renowned for subtlety or musicality”?? Have you not heard the brilliance and majesty of songs like Let’s Put the X in Sex, Ladies Room, or Plaster Caster?
Jon Dunmore - Completely agree. Yoshiki is about 7 years younger than I am, and that puts him in a similar generation of impressionable kids who were blown away by KISS in the 70s, but when you took away the makeup and the stage theatrics they were hardly Dream Theater musically, were they ? Other than AC-DC, we had very few genuine rock bands onscreen here in Oz - even the legendary Aussie pub rock bands of the era were pushed aside by crap like Abba and the Bee Gees - and from memory that first KISS clip exploded before Van Halen released the Kinks cover that gave rock fans some hope down here. Yoshiki has done exceptionally well with music that - for the most part - I don't find particularly memorable compared to many of KISS' contemporaries.
Definitely the best track on "Kiss My Ass." I wish he would make an entire album of rock covers. I bet many younger fans will broaden their musical tastes.
If you think this is better than "Hard Luck Woman" by Garth Brooks or "Christine Sixteen" by The Gin Blossoms, then I'm sure as hell glad you don't pick the music I buy.
@@nashburnette you do realize that Yoshiki has written a song for the Emperor Emeritus of Japan and has been performing at a top level for the last 35 years...I saw X Japan in 1990 and have been a admirer of Yoshiki's talent ever since...heck I mainly listen to J-Rock/Metal because, with the exception of groups like Sabaton and Nightwish most Western metal is boring IMHO...
He needs to do symphony covers of Hard Luck Woman, Beth, Shandi, Sure Know Something, God of Thunder, Detroit Rock City, Great Expectations, A World Without Heroes, Forever, Tears are Falling, Reason to Live.
Randy Woodworth, what a great idea! I am waiting for his First Symphony LOL! I would not be surprised if he completed the first entirely scored movement.
I love this song for long time(10 years) and I don't know the song is original by KISS . I don't know its 10 years. GOD , I love and listen this song more than hundred times about many years . yes I am fan of X-japan to. in this song is show me how yoshiki made a masterpiece of cover . I'm very excited
I don't know why this version of Black Diamond isn't more popular. I've been a KISS fan since between Asylum and Crazy Nights releases. I was born the same year their first album came out so I remember glimpses of the band in the 70's but I was too young to really know anything about them. I became a huge fan of a lot of 70's era bands in the 80's because there was so much fluff you had to discover KISS, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, The Ramones and others. Anyway I have been in conversations with fans and people who didn't like KISS but Black Diamond was always an exception. They didn't like KISS but they did like Black Diamond. This version with the instruments playing the lyrics and even the explosions is incredible. I've loved it since it came out 30 years ago and it still makes me wish I could play piano every time I hear it

Yes, that's Yoshiki!😊 He's a musical genius. 💯👌Like he said himself: "Rock is in my blood and classical is in my bones."🎶
全てが圧倒的。
特にピアノ凄すぎる。
カバーだけど、YOSHIKIの中にある音楽ってとてつもない。
称賛の言葉が見つからないです。
人の作った曲を、こんな風に表現しようと思う心に感動して泣いてしまいました
わたしの壊された頭を癒やしてくれる曲です。ベートーベンを感じさせる曲。
YOSHIKIさんの中にある音楽の幅広い世界観に魅了される。
Pristinely professional and an amazing acoustic gift for all who come to listen - the unique talent and genius that is Yoshiki ❤
ラストの爆発音をピアノで表現できるのはこの方しかいない。
低音Aの連打と共に包み込んでくるオーケストラの旋律は、どこか日本らしさを感じる。たぶん真っ当なピアニストでは、この迫力は出ない。
🌹I love Yoshiki 💋💕哀愁ただよう映画のラスト・シーンみたいだな♦️(どんなシーンが思い浮かぶだろう🎵)Black Diamond💎
素晴らしい💞
流れるようなピアノ🎹美しいと思います✨時折、彼らしさも表れてて👍
This shows how much admiration and respect Japan has for one of the most phenomenal rock legends for centuries to come. To be remembered in such a harmonization, that is true immortality. To be remembered.
凄い❣️クラシックになるとこうなるとは…
さすがYOSHIKIさん😊カッコイイです💕✨
やっぱり、KISS って凄いし、YOSHIKIも凄い❗️今年の紅白歌合戦は「YOSHIKISS」で登場‼️やっぱり音楽って素晴らしい🌍✨💫
力強くて良い曲です👍今までと違うイメージで良いなぁ💞
When I heard it for the first time, I was moved and provoked in my nostalgia, now that they are leaving the stage, it would be great if they closed with this work of art, there will be many tears, I know it included... thank you KISS, for all these years
YOSHIKIさん頑張って、世界中が貴方を愛しています。安心して下さい、貴方の心からの幸せ感じて、嬉しい顔が視ることができれば、皆それで満足します。全ての人々からの祝福を捧げますから、貴方はありのまま美し過ぎる命なくなる迄私たちを愛して下さい。
Loved the original for many many years.
But I like this version much more.
This how you make a cover your own.
Genius...
This is magic. X
ずっと心に残る曲、壮大でいてどこまでも美し過ぎて！✨。
まさかkissのカバーとは…🎵YOSHIKIさんは本当に天才‼️✨コンサートでぜひ聴いてみたい…
なんて凄 い。
泣いてしまいました。
こんなことってあるんですね。
ロックンロールってこういう事？
なんて言ったらいいか解りません。
YOSHIKI素晴らしすぎる。

EVERY SONG OF KISS IS A MASTERPIECE AND YOSHIKI IS GREAT WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT OF BLACK DIAMOND
This is my first time listening to him and I'm in love with his songs
Highly recommend Yoshiki’s EM II CLASSICAL
Yoshikiの手にかかると Kissの原曲とは 別物となって...メロディーにのまれてしまう〜♪💖
手を抜いていないことは確かだね
This is a fucking masterpiece, there's simply no two ways about it
I agree!!! And out of curiosity, how much is the chook???
As a former street worker,prisoner and drug addict and now dying from COPD,I think this song should be dedicated to all girls who do this kind of work to survive.
Hope your doing well
评论区对先生的评论是绝对的超级赞美、最高的、最好的、最美的……犹如红酒的浓郁醇厚、甘甜回味，先生的音乐流淌在我的血液中美妙绝伦……太棒的作品👍🏻❤️🌹
Simply Brilliant. Ive loved this song since I first heard it back in the day…Ive fallen in love with it once more .,.. thank you Yoshiki
カッコいい曲❤️
3:33 is my favorite part of the song .. so many twist and turns ups and downs and hard hits and low soft touching whispers but all done so beautifully to the tune of one of the best kiss songs ever ... genius and a masterpiece!!!
It fully encapsulates the entire song. The fight between hope and despair, of someone stuck on the streets.
C’est juste magnifique quand un grand fan de Kiss est aussi un virtuose et une star 🎶🇯🇵🎶 En fait, Yoshiki met tellement de coeur dans ce qu’il joue que c’est la seule reprise qui rend vraiment hommage à Kiss dans la compilation tribute. « Kiss My Ass »💜 Forever X 🎶

Jon Dunmore Actually, Yoshiki has said that his first concert he went to was of Kiss and that it inspired him to start playing drums.
Jon Dunmore “renowned for subtlety or musicality”?? Have you not heard the brilliance and majesty of songs like Let’s Put the X in Sex, Ladies Room, or Plaster Caster?
and who could forget Lick it Up?!?
Jon Dunmore - Completely agree. Yoshiki is about 7 years younger than I am, and that puts him in a similar generation of impressionable kids who were blown away by KISS in the 70s, but when you took away the makeup and the stage theatrics they were hardly Dream Theater musically, were they ?

This song is so awesome and touching I have not ever heard like that
MOST BEAITIFUL...Best KISS cover EVER
+Felony Strutter True enough. My favorite from the tribute album as well as the first Kiss album.
Well that and Let’s Put the X in Sex
BlackDℹ︎amond初めて聴きました、YOSHIKIさん素晴らしい💥💓
Beautiful and Touching... Best KISS cover!! YOSHIKI the Virtuoso!!!!
Very beautiful version of a great song.
You can feel that he love BLACK DIAMOND Everythink fitz perfect
i crie evertiem
@@timr.6941 lmao
I've loved this take on Black diamond since the first time I heard it. Captures the emotion and energy of the band superbly.
this album has a bunch of bad covers, some good covers... and then there's yoshiki. He's on a different level of 'em all
Hands down my fave track on the album
Some covers were good.
But this Is another level
I got this cd in the 90's this is one of my very favorite pieces of music
This is so beautifully played and put together.
Sublime. It's like a soft Wind and glorius storm at the dame time.
素晴らし演奏ですね。いつかYOSHIKI様プロディースのOKEの演奏会が聞けますように。
"Out on the streets for a living..." Fantastic version!
ハートマーク有り難うございます感謝しております🎵👊😆🎵晴美
素敵です💕
子供の頃の感動がここに花開きましたね。交響曲として蘇るなんて 呑み込まれる感激でいっぱいです｡貴方の力に御礼を伝えたいです｡(҂˘̀^˘́)ง
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION!
living god yoshiki all love you
Such a lovingly beautiful cover song as I have ever heard.
This is amazing!! Saw KISS in the 70's .. this cover is brilliant. Wow!!
One of the greatest Kiss songs. And this cover is do goood! Fantastic!
Pure unadulterated genius.
Great song, great cover!
I loved so much, that I made a CLIP with this song.
REALLY POWERFULL...
Imagine this at the end of the elder as a bonus track,fits right in.Deemed worthy.
if you listen to the original song (by Kiss) you'll understand why this version is amazing....
This cover is amazing 😊❤️🙏🏻
this is pure magic
Definitely the best track on "Kiss My Ass." I wish he would make an entire album of rock covers. I bet many younger fans will broaden their musical tastes.
It most certainly would. I'd like to hear his symphonic approach to some slayer songs.
Or you can just hear his band X Japan who is million times better and deep than KISS.
Can turn a beautiful song into this cover abouslety brilliant. Thank you.kiss army.
Loved it from the time the album first came out.
I love the whole album, but this is another level...
This sounds like it could be used on a feature fantasy film soundtrack.
Easily the best track on Kiss My Ass,totally reworked and totally cool
If you think this is better than
"Hard Luck Woman" by Garth Brooks or
"Christine Sixteen" by The Gin Blossoms,
then I'm sure as hell glad you don't
pick the music I buy.
True dat
@@nashburnette you suck
@@nashburnette im glad you don't pick the music I buy because of all that fucking snot that will be getting onto it by your nasty ass hands

There should be more comments. How Yoshiki handled this. Masterpiece.
He needs to do symphony covers of Hard Luck Woman, Beth, Shandi, Sure Know Something, God of Thunder, Detroit Rock City, Great Expectations, A World Without Heroes, Forever, Tears are Falling, Reason to Live.
Randy Woodworth, what a great idea! I am waiting for his First Symphony LOL! I would not be surprised if he completed the first entirely scored movement.
That would be one helluva album! Awesome idea!
What an awesome cover!
YOSHIKI：そうですね．「Eternal Melody」はあくまでも，監督って形だったんで．その後KISSのトリビュート・アルバムをやった時に，初めて自分で，ほぼ99％オーケストラ・アレンジをやったんです．
---それは，新たなチャレンジとしてやりがいのある仕事でした？
YOSHIKI：僕はXでもそうなんですけど．カルテットで大体4パートに分けちゃうんですよ．ベース，チェロ，第1，第2バイオリンと第2がビオラでもいいっていう．オーケストラ・アレンジではそれが基本で，その後はあまり分けないんです．それをそのまま，アレンジャーと譜面を書く人に渡して，そこからさらに細かくしていくんです．KISSの「BLACK DIAMOND」の時はかなり細かくやりました．
---あの時は確かアメリカのオーケストラを使ったんですよね．
YOSHIKI：ええ，アメリカン・シンフォニーです．
---音にこだわるYOSHIKIだから，弦はウィーン・フィルがいいとか，ベルリン・フィルを使いたいとか，希望もあったんじゃないですか？
YOSHIKI：僕，あの時，実はモスクワに行こうと思ったんですよ．で，実際そのスケジュールができて，そうしたらロシアで内戦が始まっちゃったんです．で，うちのコンダクターが行きたくないって言い始めて，テレビつけたら戦車とか走っちゃってたんで．それで，急遽ニューヨークに変更して．
---ディック・マークスいう方がいつもクレジットされていますが，YOSHIKIの右腕的存在の方ですか？
YOSHIKI：そうですね．僕のオーケストラ・アレンジ・チームと呼んでるんですけど．で，シェリー・バーグっていう人も，僕のオーケストラ・アレンジの先生なんです．でも，かなり言い合いますね(笑)．彼らは彼らで，僕にここをこうしたらって言ってくるんで，ここは絶対引けないとか．いつも揉めるのは，なんでYOSHIKIは管楽器を入れないんだって．
---そうですね，言われてみれば．何故ですか？
YOSHIKI：嫌いなんですよ．だからKISSの時も，限界でフレンチ・ホルン．そこまではいいけど，トランペットとかは全部カットとか．僕，自分ではトランペットもブラスバンドで5年間やってたんですけど．トランペットは，あんまりピンとこないんですね．それで，必ずいつも衝突するんです．"ここは管だ"とか"絶対違う"とかって．
面白い話を聞けて、ありがとうございました😊
Magnifico Artista Yoshiki Love!!!
有難うございます。
こういうの嬉しいです。
Beautiful
I love this song for long time(10 years) and I don't know the song is original by KISS . I don't know its 10 years. GOD , I love and listen this song more than hundred times about many years . yes I am fan of X-japan to. in this song is show me how yoshiki made a masterpiece of cover . I'm very excited

BUENISIMAAAAAAA!!!!!! I LOVE IT !!!!!!! VERY GOOOD!!!!!!
Really captures the emotion of the song in a more melancholy way than the hard rock version (which I love). Sounds like a sad ending, yet beautiful
Breathtaking
Touching.
Magnifique
This is amazing
When I die, this is what I want to hear at my funeral.
But how are you going to hear it if you're dead?
I’ll be there w my ghetto blaster
@@CrossoverGameReviews good point!!😆
This will be at my funeral, but it will accompany the photos of my life
starts from 5:35 is marvelous
Love love love this. XXX
2022年8月black diamond 聴いて居ます。私達の結婚指輪💍💍はpink diamondを，入れているよ🎵❤️今世界中のpink diamondは発掘禁止です。もう採掘不能ですね。とても貴重品ですね。愛してる💕💕😌💕💕
I remember buying "Kiss My Ass" on cassette tape when it came out - This was even more stunning than Garth Brooks' cover of "Hard Luck Woman" . . .
This is FANTASTIC ! So much creative talent !
ｗｏｎｄｅｒｆｕｌ👏🙌
masterpiece
I can imagine this version being on a soundtrack of an anime movie.
this is sick !!!
Masterpiece
I would love for him to do the whole Alive album. I'm sure it would be totally Epic.
Just imagine the reaction of Gene Simmons when he heard this version for the first time.
This track was supposed to appear only in the Japanese version but Gene Simmons made sure it was on the world wide release. Great decision by Gene.
we ara X !!
Amazing! &Taiwan number 1!
This is masterpiece
This sounds like something that could be in kingdom hearts
bellissima .
この曲もともと完全に紅だよね
they can play this at my funeral.
Amazing
Aguante kiss aguante black diamond! Un saludo desde bs as, argentina
