Back in the 1970s Kiss was known as the loudest band in the world. Their live shows were the absolute best. By the way, the base player is Gene Simmons. He had a reality show for a while and played in a couple of movies. He is scary even without the makeup.

They are from NYC, the band was broke, critics hated them, they were hemorrhaging money, and about to quit go home and get straight jobs. A Detroit DJ started playing them and Detroit Embraced them in a HUGE way. Detroit Audiences are notoriously hard to please, so when they got the seal of approval from Detroit fans and Cream magazine loved them they just took off.

Getaway on Dressed to Kill, beth on Destroyer, baby driver and Hard Luck Woman on rock and roll over, all 10 songs on his 1978 solo album (when every member of the band did a solo album at the same time).

I have been a member of the KISS ARMY since 1976 Favorite band from my childhood. Rick & RoLL Super Heroes ! 👅👄⚡️😾

Very cool, man! KISS is my favorite band, I've seen them live 11 times and it's really cool to see someone trying out their music with an open mind. Rock on, bro!

Better late than never Jojo - lol - this is the opening track from the "Destroyer" album which was released in 1976. I was only 5 years old at the time, living in the small, south Georgia country town where I was born and my older brother and I heard this on the radio for the first time. I was immediately hooked and I have been a huge KISS fan ever since! My first KISS concert was "Lick It Up", their first album/tour without their signature make up (and a couple new members, namely Vinnie Vincent on guitar who replaced Ace Frehley and Eric Carr who replaced Peter Criss on the drums)... #KISSARMY

Awesome video man - I've loved KISS since I was 10. These guys really put 110% into giving an audience an amazing show. The version you listened to is the single version - if you hear the album version, it has a longer instrumental middle section that really adds to the song.

Heavens On Fire is a great one to listen to as well

My mom saw Kiss live in Edmonton, Alberta in 1977, I saw them in 2000, and these guys are still on tour! They're on their End of the Road tour right now, which was on hiatus from the pandemic but I guess they rescheduled it and it's back on! If you can, I would urge you to go, these guys have an insane energy about them. It's just indescribable.

The most Iconic group,put up the best show on concerts real entertainers

Just found you! I love your vibe :) Also appreciate the lyrics on screen. Going go on a binge of your videos :)

The bass lick in the verse is funky. It is a variation on the lick fron "Freddies Dead" by Curtis Mayfiled.

Brother I love seeing and hearing your honest reaction! Stay true Stay real!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS MUSIC REACTOR GIG JOJO, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, GREAT WORK! :)

I remember the first time they opened with this song seeing the end of the road tour and it was so amazing to see the curtain drop down and the heat of the fire to hit your face. It was magical

I just recently found you on here. U R So Dope🙌🏻. I love the fact you are doing this!! Yes, we were lucky to have witnessed the baddest music in history before technology(ish)❣️. You do U!! 🤘🏼On❣️❣️

51 year old guy here. KISS is what many of us listened to when we were kids. It was our introduction to rock & roll. My first concert was KISS in 1979. And, yes, they played 'I was made for loving you' Great video btw :)

This is the song used to introduce Kiss to my 14-year-old daughter. Now she's checking out all kinds of rock and metal bands.

YOUR REACTION IS SO GENUINE AND CUTE! 😂❤️👍

I'll just keep commenting this every once in a while and I'll keep adding stuff i guess. But man, you should do some Def Leppard for sure! Would really recommend the following ones, don't know if anyone agrees, but we'll see. - Love Bites - Hysteria - Photograph - Gods of War - Animal - Brining on the Heartbreak But yeah... To be honest, it's hard to name one of their songs that I wouldn't recommend. So... To name some more: - Armageddon it - Run Riot - Tear it down - Heaven is - High 'n Dry And switch 625, for some Steve Clark magic. But Dire Straits is also amazing! - Money for nothing, definitely a song that you should listen to - walk of life - Brothers in arms - Romeo and Juliet - Solid rock And probably my favorite, it lasts almost 15 minutes, but 'Telegraph Road' is a masterpiece.

I was overseas in the early 90's and a friend of mind intruduces me to the music of KISS and the DOORS.....boy he educated me. Kiss became my favorite Band - I went out and bought all there stuff immediately., the Doors are great also.

Great pic, Jojo. Love the reacs. 🙂👊🏼✌🏼

I Love It Loud. War Machine. Black Diamond, Deuce, Parasite, Going Blind, All American Man, Rocket Ride, Back in the New York Groove, Domino, I could go on and on. This band is a treasure trove of great rock and roll.

Thank you for your honest reaction and comments,it is great to see someone with their own mind. Stay REAL and I'll keep watching, if you go fake I gotta bounce!

Love all those little bass flourishes.

If you ask any rock and roll band that was touring back in the early 70s, what their favorite city is to do a show, they will all say Detroit. The fans in Detroit were unusually enthusiastic and rock and roll bands just loved to play here... Detroit Rock City baby!

Soundgarden Loud Love tune! nice one bro peace on the plane.

Listen to the origin off the Destroyer album. Play it back to back with the second song "King of the Night Time World". The two songs are meant to be played together.

Great reaction!

Detroit was one of the first cities to support Kiss in a big way when they were first starting out!!!

Unholy, I just wanna kiss alive 3, god of thunder, do you love me, domino, black diamond, creatures of the night, love gun, god gave rock and roll to you & the list goes on and on KISS have so many good songs 😍🔥🔥🔥😍🔥

my friend, Kiss started in 1972 with their first release on 18th February 1974, they have 20 studio albums plus 4 solo records and multiple alive records in which kiss alive 2 is 1/4 new studio songs at the time, 1977. they have compilation records with new songs or re-recordings of older songs. in total I would guess they have over 280 songs, there are at least 3 great songs on every album if not much more on some!!! I would say if I was to pick out the best 50 songs I would still be missing out on some killer tracks. This band puts most bands to shame, this band still puts on a show as good as any other that has ever been, this band has out done even themselves! (Dubai 2020 New Years as an example, Dodger stadium 1996, Brooklyn bridge, Kiss symphony!!! not to mention all of their other great shows MSG, Cobo hall, Rio de Janeiro with 200 thousand fans in the crowd) The off spin bands like Frehley's comet or Criss have spawned so much music your head would spin if you went back to take a listen. Not too many other acts can say they have done anything close to what KISS has done!

So much to discover LFR Jojo! Bodycount, Motorhead, Iggy Pop, Monster Magnet, Probot, System Of A Down, Twisted Sister, QOTSA, The Who, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Danko Jones, The Cure, The Clash, Dire Straits, David Bowie...

LOVE how you loved rock from our era 🙏🏽
