In Dec. 1973 while I was in the Air Force I was excited because I was going to a ZZ Top concert. The opening band was Kiss. I had never heard of them. Their 1st LP hadn't even hit the street yet. My friends and I were stunned. After the show, they were all we could talk and for days after. In the years since, I have seen them many times.

Awesome Story. I'm a huge KISS fan since I was like 2 or 3 I seen KISS meets the Phantom on tv in like 90 91. I have seen them twice seeing them the 3rd time on the 10th of oct. Ive seen Ace solo and it was great and was so cool to see a like 12 year old little girl singing and having fun and knowing all the words. Aces bassists told her he seen her the whole concert she knew every word and gave her a big hig made her night.

I have loved KISS since I was a little girl and finally got to see them when I was a married woman with children. I've seen them several times since then, but no one can put on a concert like KISS. Paul Stanley, the one who sang the lyrics to this song, was and will always be one of my favorite rock stars ever. I suggest the following songs: Deuce, Black Diamond, & God of Thunder. Rock and Roll All Nite and Beth are their most well known songs, but have been played to death, but still great songs.

I'll never forget Geddy Lee, in the 2010 RUSH documentary Beyond The Lighted Stage, talking about touring with Kiss. The two bands formed the kind of bond that young bands have when they've toured a lot together, and they saw A LOT of each other on stage. Geddy said that you've NEVER seen any band work harder than Kiss to put on the best possible show for their fans.

I've been a KISS Fan 46 yrs since Alive. Cold Gin just grabbed me been a KISS Army member for 45 yrs and a KISS Navy member for 10 yrs. Seen them live 22 times done 8 meet&greets and this year will be my 4th KISS Kruise. This band are a very important part of my life,they helped get me through the hardest time of my life they are my heroes. I can't believe it will soon come to a end so if you want to see them better get a ticket and go. The live show will blow your mind

I've been a fan ever since hearing the destroyer album in the 1970's. They are the band the brought it all to the stage. The kiss rabbit hole is wide and extremely deep.

Kiss was the first band I saw back in the 70's when I was a teenager. Loved them now and still do!

I have seen them live so many times, I have lost count!! Their shows are EPIC and AMAZING every time!!!

This is the very first concert I ever took my son to. He was 12. The guitarist flew across the stage on wires shooting flames out of his guitar. My son is 40 now and still loves going to concerts. He was a drummer for a band that made it big but he chose law enforcement as his career.

Ohgosh he shouldnt give up the music world!

I saw them 21 years ago. Along with Quiet Riot. Best concert I've seen.

I saw Kiss in New Haven CT in 1979. They had such a fire show. This was before everything was childproof basically. They were loud as hell and my friends and I were amazed. I wound up getting Peter Criss's autograph on a program. Peter Criss was always my favorite. I think I still have hearing loss lol

POWERFUL SONG! YES! These guys put on a phenomenal show! If you both ever get that chance, you gotta go see them. The fire, the effects, music, AMAZING 🔥 🔥 🔥

As a kid of the 70's it cannot be overstated how massive KISS was back in the day, they were an integral part of high school that no one can really comprehend unless they were there. Crazy times.

One of the great live rock and roll shows of all time.

I've been to countless concerts, from Elvis (I was in 3rd grade - I'm old) to Ozzy, and Kiss concerts have always been hands-down the BEST live show I've ever seen.

Detroit gave Kiss their break when their home town New York didnt. When it comes to music in Detroit, anything goes! In an interview with MLive, Simmons pointed out that, "We broke in Detroit before any other city, even though we’re from New York.” While New York and Los Angeles have long been the cultural meccas of the country, in the 70s Detroit, home of Bob Seger, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop and the Stooges, was quite literally rock city. You also had Motown, MC5, Ted Nugent.....

I saw them in concert in '79, and they were by FAR the BEST concert I have EVER seen to this day!! Nothing like them!! The drummer, Peter Criss, was my favorite. I had a huge crush on him!!

One of my earliest memories is of watching KISS's TV special then my Grandmother buying me a Mego Gene Simmons doll. Finally got to see them for the first time in one of their first concerts without make up in LA. Thanks guys! Y'all made my afternoon.

My first rock concert was Kiss at the Philadelphia Civic Center in 1974. I was 13. Still one of the best shows I have ever seen.

I have been a KISS fan since they first album in '74. I have seen them live many times over the years, and they're still the best live band I've ever seen. Check out Black Diamond, from their Midnight Special appearance. It was their first appearance, on network television.

Kiss is my ultimate favorite band just puts on the ultimate shows

Nobody puts on a live show like KISS. I've seen them 6 times from the early 80's to 2019. They never disappoint.

Saw them in 1976 and then again in 78. Unbelievable show both times. So much energy..

Kiss live recorded COBO HALL DETROIT CITY it shows my age oh well proud to be there what a blast !

I have been to over 50 concerts and no one puts on a show like Kiss. I’m their hay day they where pure fire. Just took my 11 yr old to see them and he was rocking out hard.

Saw KISS almost 20 years ago, they're my single favorite show ever!!!! Second place is Rammstein, and third is Slipknot.

Summer 1977 sitting in the back of a Dodge Challenger listening to KISS for the first time. Detroit Rock City on an 8-track. Later that summer just before my 13th birthday I managed to sneak out and see them for the first time. 40 years later still Rocking with the KISS ARMY and still painting my face every time I go to a KISS show and it's still about the fans.

"Love Gun" next please. Same concert🔥🔥

They put on the most amazing show. Kiss Destroyer was the second album I ever bought as a kid. The third was Rush 2112. If you haven’t done any Rush reactions and you want to see the best drummer ever check out their songs like YYZ, Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, or Limelight to start.

North Carolina KISS ARMY Loves YOU!! AWEOME! Fan since 75!

Imagine opening a concert with that kind of performance! Certainly sets the tone for the rest of the show! Say what you want, they are an amazing band.

Saw these guys 2 years ago and I could feel the heat from the pyrotechnics it was awesome

I've been to their concerts since the 70's and they never fail to live up to their rep! Last time was a few weeks back in Bangor, Maine of all places. They still got it! Check out some *live* KISS. "Love Gun" is from this appearance on VH1 Rock Honors and is definitely a top choice.

My favorite band since the '70s!! Please react to Let Me Go, Rock & Roll - Live at Rock Am Ring! Great reaction!!!

I seen KISS in concert when I was young and it was crazy like a musical Circus. Have to say their circus really enhanced our doug ;) experience hehe

Seen them live back in 2019. Never seen anything like it! They really put on a show. I regret not going to their concert sooner.

Seen these guys in 1976... what an experience! It was so much more than a concert! I couldnt hear anything for days later lol Hard luck woman is a great tune by them and so was I Was Made for Loving You... cant go wrong with any of their music!

I've seen KISS a few times, once with the original lineup. You definitely get your money's worth and then some, at s KISS show

They're singing about my Hometown!! Long live The Motor City, Motown and keep Rockin' Detroit Rock City!! 🤘🤘

Life long Kiss Army member. I’m 52 years old and fist was exposed to them on an 8 track tape in the 70s

I joined the kiss army in 1978 but started listening to them from the very first album and I'm 55 now.

ILOVE kiss All they songs

Amazing that this performance was 30 years after the song came out and they nailed it.

Their concerts are amazing! ✌❤

And that kids is live rock & roll. What an era we got to grow up in 💫

Best concerts I have ever been too are the numerous KISS shows

Saw my first live KISS in 1977 at the McNichols Sports Area in Denver, CO, and the show was Awesome.

Hi Shawn and Mel! KISS is so cool live! I've seen them once. They are epic! If you're lucky to be in the firs 10 rows, you can FEEL the heat from the pyrotechnics. It's so cool.

5 times live!!! UNREAL SHOWS!!!!

I’m 55 still a kiss fan member of the kiss army you guys would love rock n roll all nite

You saw one song. Imagine how you'd feel after a two hour concert and a twenty minute encore. Every time I saw Kiss it took me a couple of days to come down.

The definitive version of this song live are Japan 1977, Australia 1980, Detroit 1984. If you liked the version you watched, you will be way more impressed after the others :)

My first concert in 1977....AC/DC opened for Kiss.....awesome concert.

My favorite KISS song. 💋 LOVE these guys. I've seen them 4 times live and they're amazing. PAUL is my favorite rock star... ❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰

Saw them for the first time in '77 on the Love Gun tour. 44 years later and still listening.

More KISS PLEASE!!!! They are my #1 all time favorite band of my life!!

I have seen Kiss live 3 times & nobody puts on a show like Kiss does!!! I look forward to the next live show!! We actually bought the Ax guitar that Gene Simmons is playing, its his own design & got to meet him before one of the shows!!! It was AMAZING!!! He is a great person & extremely funny!!! Hope y'all do more Kiss reactions!!!

The greatest show on earth! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

This was the first song in the show, just the beginning. Imagine what the rest of the concert was going to be like? No one ever went to a KISS concert and felt like they didn't get their money's worth.

The KISS Destroyer tour in 1976, was my sister and I very first concert! I was 14 my sister 12.

Paul Stanley is 69 and Gene Simmons is 71. Can you BLEEPIN' believe that???? This is my FAVORITE KISS song. Paul may not be able to hit those notes as well but daaaaaaeeeem! ONE OF A KIND BAND! You should watch their biographical documentary called KISStory on A&E. I learned a LOT about the band -- very interesting.

Member of the Kiss Army for a reason!

I see KISS live four times......the best four music nights in my life...!! 👍🏻

I think Kiss is the only band that have an album for every band member as a vocal. They took turns... Its nice

Craziest show in rock n roll ✌❤🤘

My favorite band ever since i was kindergarten !!!

You wanted the best... You got the best... The hottest band in the world... KISS!!! They are the Gods of Rock & Roll. I've seen them in concert twice. They're will never be another band in the world like KISS!!!

HEY🥰KISS IS DA BEST BAND BRAND EVER MADE ON PLANET EARTH, PURE ROCK EXPERIENCE!!!!!

Great reaction! You are now honorary members of the KISS ARMY! Try another KISS song, God of Thunder

I remember they came to my hometown, after the concert they invited everyone there to the Sheridan Inn where they were staying after the concert, a mob walked to the hotel, and it was a party, they took over the hotel. It was estimated to be over 10,000 people, the cops just stood back. That place was trashed, sex, drugs, kegs, all the rooms were connected after they turn down the walls. At sunrise it looked as if a bomb went off. A few days later the local radio station banned Kiss from the air, big mistake. Another mob, I mean a mob, thousands stormed it, took over the station and began torching the place, attacking the cops, ripping up the streets, attacking anyone, the offical Kiss Army was formed on the spot, the rest is history. Yes, Terre Haute, home to Larry Bird and the Kiss Army

Dude I'm definitely sitting in the back little scared of those fireworks.

KISS is so great. Always have been through 5 decades

I've been to 20 concerts. Starting in 1977. 🔥

How can you be rocking that Smashing Pumpkins T without rolling them again? 😁 "Tonight, Tonight" the official video is an award-winning, genre-bending time portal. completely different than 1979. NOT to be missed.

I've been to many different shows in my 49 yrs of life but no one compares to KISS

The hottest ticket to get when I was a teen. No one but Rammstein puts on this kind of show. Paul Stanley is the most underrated front man and singer because people didn't know the band and dismissed them as a joke. As you can see. No joke.

I saw KISS in 96-it was my first concert ever and it was the greatest thing I’d ever seen in my life. I wish I could remember the set list from that concert but I can’t. I do remember Gene Simmons vomiting blood as part of the show though.Nobody that I’ve seen puts on a show like KISS in the concerts I’ve seen since

KISS only touring for another 4 months in the states starting at end of August. Good luck getting in to see them. PLEASE DO ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT LIVE!!!!!!! That is the ultimate!!!!!

I'm 57 years old and I've been part of it since the mid-70s myself. Look at some old Jean Simmons videos from kiss where he used to breathe fire on stage, those were the days there along with the spitting blood out of his mouth, of course it's fake blood. But at the time the story was around it was real, lol.

Shawn and Mel, you should do a reaction on their song Forever. Beauuuuutiful beautiful song! Heart capturing ❤️

Seen them twice. Both shows were great. 👍

What’s funny is you’re wearing the Smashing Pumpkins T-shirt. In 1998 at dodger Stadium I went to see kiss on Halloween night. As I was walking in after smashing pumpkins played I heard some kids walking out saying they can’t believe smashing pumpkins only played for 45 minutes and they left without seeing kiss. Those kids missed something huge. The show of a lifetime!

Kiss was my first concert, I had to have been 4 or 5 when the Psycho circus tour happened. Funny you should mention outer space, Ace is known as space Ace.

They would love a KISS concert! Please go see them in person!

I'm a 56 yr old that saw them when I was 10. Still going. My butt has never touched a seat at one of their shows.

This song was like a tribute to a fan that died on the way to their concert back in the 70s
