Strutter!!!!!! I like your point on the guitar solo, Alex. It is meant to continue the "ride" of the song. In grammar school, I remember all my friends talking about KISS' upcoming appearance on Paul Lynde's Halloween Special. That was a big deal because, without cable TV, we only saw bands on Don Kirshner's Midnight Special, etc. Younger teens couldn't see much early in the evening. KISS lip synched Detroit Rock City, but also did a 5 minute Q&A with Paul (in another vid on YT). Margaret Hamilton (Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch) also appeared. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ma6FtZR7k83af9o.html And I anxiously await your once a month egg nog drunken reaction to Trapeze's Medusa!

The big problem with this track is simply this: it's an abbreviated version, not the original full length opening track on the album "Destroyer." It has an introduction that's been deleted and the transition to the next track has been removed. It adds a bit more to the song, especially since it was about the death of a fan outside one of their concerts. Hit by a car. This album debuted in 1976 when I was a 19 year old rocker, and the Kiss phenomenon was just taking off. I remember going to the county fair on a date and saw four younger teen dudes dressed as Kiss, well as best as they could, and they had the older adults and senior citizens in an uproar. Thought they were satanic. My recommendations would be "Love Gun," or "Hotter Than Hell."

"Black Diamond", "I Stole Your Love", "I Want You", and "Deuce" are must be heard bangers from KISS! "Alive" and "Alive II" are excellent live albums featuring their best songs from their best era, 1972-1978.

I was never a big Kiss fan, but no one can deny that this song rocks! They were known as being a band you needed to see live to really appreciate. Try finding a video of them doing this song live

Imagine being 10 and discovering THIS! 70s KISS is legion, and while I am sick to death of the song, their first hit Rock n Roll All Nite is their most enduring song.....but temper expectations. You'll hear why it endured but why you could get sick of it. Have to check it out from the ALIVE! version, though. I could go on all day about how great their deep tracks are, but while the track I recommend isn't my fave, it's been in every setlist they've played since 75. Good job, guys....keep rockin'!

RUSH?..... RUSH! Listen to at least one album every single day and have for the past 42 years. Theme music to my misadventures.

This was my intro to Kiss, time has been kinder to them than we thought. Your first reaction to I Was Made for Lovin You was honest and it made me realize that it really was a good song, the prejudice about the "Disco " groove was because at the time, alot of Kiss fans were horrified because rockers were supposed to vilify Disco...the arch-enemy. But the test of time says 'Fuck it!!" Good pop, hard rock songwriting is good songwriting, the influence of genre and stylistic choices is moot folks!! Kiss rocked ...time says so

Live in concert was unmatched by anyone at the time, and really forever. Explosions and fire, the wardrobe/make-up and the shoes!!

1 minute in and Alex is seriously digging the bass line!

I've been lucky enough to see Kiss live 3 times!! From the make up Kiss to no make up,they were good each time!! Last time was in Austin,with the TANK STAGE!!! Peace y'all :)

🤣 I almost spit my coffee out when Alex made the Dr Seuss comment.

'Shock Me' from the 'Love Gun' album. Very cool riff and a lazy-swagger groove. Features lead guitarist Ace Frehley on lead vocals and of course a great solo. His signature Kiss song. ....."put on your black leather"

A&A - Great reaction! Lmao. Took me back to being a very little girl, finding this and thinking it was the greatest song(s) I was hearing!! Kiss was simple (wham bam), and catered to kids. There was a KISS Army (merchandise galore!!). Did not mess w/ them!! Ha. The bass lines are tasty because, Simmons is so cocky he makes even the mundane seem epic. Made me smile.

But def the live version from KISS Alive!

This song is from a true story of a KISS fan going to the concert and was late and really got into a deadly car wreck where he met is fate!

“GOD OF THUNDER” - absolutely thunderous.

This is Bob Ezrin (fresh off of: Alice Cooper [the band and Alice's first solo album, as well) - and prior to doing Floyd's Wall. Founded, only, 4 years prior to DESTROYER's release (and recording for about 2-2.5), this album "broke them" to every rock fan, from 5-50, in 1976. Radio would not play them - you NEVER heard KISS on the radio, back then! ...You should have heard the ORIGINAL version, with the "sound effects"/"movie" intro. and outro!!!!! THAT is the first thing you heard when you dropped he needle on DESTROYER!!!!! ...but it only ramped-up from there! ['King Of The Nighttime World" ..."Flamin' Youth" ...and on!!!!!] -Dude!!!!! Harmony guitar solo! ...super-tasty! 😮😎🔥🔥

The bass line is from "Freddy's Dead" - per Gene Simmons. And "12 O'Clock, I gotta rock" is about the true story of the fan that was killed while driving on the way to a KISS concert.

She, live 1975, Detroit. The true essence of a Kiss live show. Great show, very cool.

I grew up with them loving them as a kid and I still do today decades later (back in the days I was fascinated by the concept of them appearing as some supernatural/alien/demonic beings and nobody knew who was behind those masks, today it's mainly for sentimental reasons), I guess that's the common explanation for most people being KISS fans today, you either grew up with them being omnipresent in the 70s or you never got into them. KISS always defined themselves about their presentation on stage with all the fire and the blood spilling, Ace's guitar catching fire and exploding, Peter's drumkit being lifted up in the air and so on. A KISS concert was like a carnival with rock music. Don't attempt to dive deeper into the lyrics, most of their songs are about sex, partying or heavy drinking, the only great (kind of) KISS lyrics that come to my mind right now are probably the ones for 'Beth'. But if you ignore the lyrics and you're just looking for solid bangers that are not really technically brilliant, just tight and enjoyable I suggest Black Diamond, Sure Know Something, She, 100,000 Years, Creatures of the Night, I Love it Loud, Domino or Strutter.

I think "Unholy" would be in order...Can I get an Amen ?

Saw them live and I remember being so impressed as I watched Paul Stanley give 110%, Gene too in his character, but Paul was more active giving it his all in those heavy heeled shoes and make up, up in a riser above the crowd, doing it for the fans. I just remember thinking how hard he's working full speed ahead at every moment and he wasn't a young man anymore, but it was like watching a rock and roll athlete like someone in shape because they haven't let up. This was in the last decade. He was so professional and you could feel he wanted to give you what you came for.

Parasite, Black Diamond, Love Gun, Deuce, are a few choice examples. Watching the Black Diamond live promo would great because you get the visual and audio representation of classic 1974 KISS plus Peter Criss kills it on the lead vocals.

The original studio recording is better, this is a redo.

you really should see them live.... they r definitely a visual band... plus all the extras live even make them better... i heard the live albums when i was young, but when i finally saw them live it all came together for me... the visual and stage show is always amazing... ive only seen them 7 times, and not sure how much longer the guys may b around, but any chance i get to c them live i will because it is the best stage show u will ever see... any band can get up and play live in their tshirts and jeans and do fine, but when these guys r out in full gear doing all their special parts its just amazing... u just dont get that at any show... u truly get what u pay for when u see them

The best concert that I ever saw was a KISS concert. 1978 in Fresno, California at the Selland Arena. Unbelievable show ! Awesome !

I had a couple of the albums, then I saw them live. They are made for live shows, blew my mind just a bit LOL. After seeing them live never listened to the albums again, they just did not compare.

Nice one lads. Loving your channel and makes me laugh and smile at your discovery of these absolute classic tunes this 54 year old drummer grew up with.

What band from the states challenged kiss anywhere near that until at least Van Halen, in which two members where born in Europe and not until 78 and still didnt reach those kind of heights. Only argument to me is VH and they ruled the 80s more so, by the time Kiss was literally never the same band and lost their identity until they toured with the paint again at least

Great, timeless choice, but this was in fact a shortened version! The full song has another segment in the middle, as well as a really cool crash (that adds great effect to the song and lyrics) sound at the end!

Check out more Kiss! Lots of good tunes from them! Detroit Rock City was actually written about a guy on his way to a Kiss show, and got killed in a head on crash with a big truck. I always heard it was a true story too! By the way, anybody that didn't take Kiss seriously, apparently were way the hell off!! They've been around since "74", and have sold 110 million records!!

I think this is my favorite by them. Seen them live back in the 1999. They put on a great show.

KISS - I love it loud!

If they thought these lyrics were funny, they're gonna love I Love It Loud!

You got to hear Deuce from the Alive album. Actually all of the Alive album.

Great choice! I actually got to see this tour. Dec. 12, 1976 Lakeland, FL. This is what they opened with. I was 8 years. You can imagine what kind of affect a band like this has on an 8-year old. You youngsters will never fully know what it was like to be there at that time.

"12 O'Clock, I've gotta rock" is an era reflection term of an attitude of the times back in day when it was common place that we all went to rock shows/clubs and even Disco Clubs parting till late, late into the evening .. Drinking age was 18, no harsh DWI laws, no MADD.. You guys don't understand this period (1970's)of time when every band was at the height of there career and on TOUR!.. New Album releases, reading Music magazines to get info on the bands, word of mouth, corresponding fan clubs.. I live here in NY and every major venue is here.. every week and month was another major band in town.. The Who, Led Zeppelin, Alice Copper, Queen, KISS, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones Ted Nugent, RUSH , Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Bad Company, Peter Frampton,The Ramones, Elton John, Jethro Tull, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Bros etc etc etc etc.. A time like no other.. You guys critique the guitar solo of this song but you have to remember this was the style and mood for this period of this era and you have the benefit to hear advancements 40+ years later..

I could never take these guys seriously. When I was a teen in the 70's they were like the Pro wrestler's of rock lol.

Okay, you guys need to check out King's X. Immediately. Start with "Over My Head". They are a slammin' power trio with the unusual combination of Rush guitar tones, Beatles-esque background harmonies and Sly and The Family Stone screams over banging rock grooves. You two will lose your minds!

Based on a true story...a fan in North Carolina on his way to a KISS concert. KISS was my 1st ever concert...I was 11 years old in 1977...my mom took me to see them in Detroit. She ROCKED!! ( RIP Mom)

Um...guys it's about a dude who died on his way to the concert....listen to their LIVE albums....

I've said this before in prior posts...for many of these classic rock bands, you had to be there when they first came out and were at their peak. I grew up an hour north of Detroit and was one of lucky ones who saw them at the legendary Cobo Arena in Detroit at the concert where they primarily recorded the 1st Kiss Alive album in 1976. I was 18, and we all knew that these guys weren't virtuosos, but no one fuckin' cared, because they put on an excellent show - they were loud, fire breathing, spitting up faux blood....it realky was awesome. Are they the kind of band you're going to listen to every day? Of course not...but during the day, they were innovative, loud and fun.

Never got in to Kiss. To me, they offered very little. Would have loved to have seen them live at least once, but never did. But I have a helluva story for ya about NOT seeing them. Ha ha haaa My ex used to work at a radio station, and she happened into tickets for their December 31, 1999 show at BC Place in Vancouver. We were so stoked! Party like it's 1999 with Kiss?!?! Fuckin' A, babe, helluva score! But alas, the cards of fate in life were not with us. Something of a personal nature came up, and we were unable to go. So being the AWESOME dude I am, I GAVE these tickets to a friend who was into Kiss. When I saw him after Y2K passed without incident, I asked him how the show was. He didn't go. He SOLD the tickets I GAVE him to someone. Yeah, our friendship ended right there. What a fuckwad. I could've sold them, ya shit, I was trying to do you a favor by GIVING these tickets to you. Fuck right off!!! I can only imagine how off-the-hook that show musta been. :\

Need to definitely do “Strange Ways” from Hotter Than Hell, and “Nothin to Lose” from MTV Unplugged.

My first concert ever was KISS at MSG in 1979, I was 13 and on my way out of my KISS faze. The same year I bought Pink Floyd's The Wall and never went back.

KISS was my first rock poster up in my room next to Farrah Fawcett!

you need to check out the band "Sweet" from the '70s...Desolation boulevard or give us a wink albums. DRUMS!

KISS were the Gods of Rock during the 70’s. 80’s Metal groups were highly influenced by Kiss. Too many bangers to list. You guys need to do 2 songs every M/W/F I was surprised Alex gave it a high rating than Andy did. You guys did good. ✌🏻 out!

I’m 55, not a youtuber but you two make me happy. I’ve watched about 45 of your reactions. I honestly can’t wait for more. Obviously since I’m late to the show, have you listened to any Blood, Sweat and Tears? “And when I die” or “ Spinning Wheel’” etc. Great early bluesy rock. Try it out. Thanks for making me believe the music I love will never die.

Imagine being a 7 year old little boy in 1976 hearing this for the first time. My mind was totally blown!

My aunt bought me this album, and Rock-N-Roll Over, for my tenth birthday! 1976!! KISS introduced me to rock-n-roll. By the way, this isn't the original version on the album. This is a remake of the original.

My buddies and I are going to see KISS at the Oracle Arena in Oakland on March 9th!

I recommend Strutter, animal, heavens on fire

Maybe a Kiss ballad? “Forever”

That guitar lick you were talking about was written by the producer. The “Destroyer” album was the follow-up for “Alive” which was the album that put them on the map; they wanted to make Destroyer a killer. Another great anthem on this album is “Shout it Out Loud”.

This song tells a story. In the first verse it's 9:00 and he's driving around town when his favorite song comes on the radio. In verse two at 10:00 he decides to make the trip to Detroit to see Kiss at midnight. He's been drinking and he floors it because he's not going to be able to make it on time unless he drives 100 miles per hour. In the last verse it's midnight and he gets into a head on collision with a semi doing a hundred on the two lane. So the words do actually fit the song

I love creatures of the night, it's much heavier. Kiss is just a fun band.

War machines a good one, plaster casters another great gene song, and he’s good on cold gin tho it was an ace song that he happened to sing.

Kiss is gimmicks, simple songs, nothing all that special musically. But they are the entertainment package. Anyone who has seen them live knows. Performances are amazing to see.

I saw them in concert for there 10th Anniversary Tour. I have to say it was the best.
