It's one of the saddest things in music. If he'd lived, they could have created a tradition of swapping in members with new facepaint schemes and evolved like that forever. Instead, they went no facepaint after that, then lived off the occasional "final reunion" shows with the original crew. Carr could have created a "Kiss forever" thing if he hadn't passed so suddenly.

Fun yet depressing fact he died on the same day as Freddie Mercury. In all seriousness though he was great and is greatly missed

You got to understand, back when KISS first came out in the mid 70s, we had never seen anything like them before! The older generation, our parents, were scared to death and just were convinced that kiss stood for Knights In Satan’s Service, which it doesn’t, but the parents were sure that we were all just going to hell if we listened to KISS

You nailed it spot on JoJo, I still feel 18 inside, especially when I hear songs from my younger days!!

The sound of those drums are just incredible!

This is one of my fav kiss songs. Love the part with Eric's drum set on the tank and the tank fires and it blows up the fridge. Oh and when gene blows the fire and the news paper catches fire. Both awesome parts of the video. The glowing eyes were on the album cover so I think that's why it's in the video. I always thought that this song represented the youth listening to music their parents didn't approve of but listening to it anyway. I was lucky. My mom loved kiss lol. Took me to my first kiss concert when I was 15.

Back in the 80's 90's those drums sometimes were referred to as power Toms a little deeper shell no bottom head and when tuned properly they were deep and a awsome tone

Yes Demon's(Gene Simmons) bass guitar is shaped like an ax. Electric guitars are sometimes referred to an ax. So it's kind of a joke that his bass looks like an ax.

I believe the reason for the glowing eyes is because the album titled Creatures Of The Night. Not claiming to know everything KISS, and not saying I'm their number one fan but I do know quite a bit about them and I am a big fan. I've been in a hard rock/heavy metal band for over 20 years but we're not the"typical" band. Anyway, I have quite a few tattoos and I enjoy many different bands but KISS is the only one I have a tattoo of.

Watching you jam to one of my favorite songs is super cool!👍

I'm straight up a KISS freak and I'm 61yrs old, I've been listening to them since 1976‼️🤘 They have so many great songs, but I still love the OG'S GENE, PETER, PAUL, ACE‼️ LONG LIVE KISS‼️ GO KISS ARMY‼️🤘💋🤘‼️

I recommend Black Diamond, Shock Me, New York Groove, Sure Know Something, Is That You, And the live version of their song Deuce from Alive!

Finally the video we been waiting for!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻 Honestly can’t wait to see you react to more!!

We used to party the hell out of this song in the early 80s. Good times! 👌🕺🥂🎸💋😄

You just heard one of the most gigantic drum sounds ever laid to tape. And that includes Led Zeppelin. KISS actually raps in the song All Hell's Breakin' Loose in 1983...probably the first band to ever do so.

My husband (who has been a die-hard KISS fan since 1976) strongly recommends I Stole Your Love (live in Largo) or Great Expectations live from the KISS Symphony. Btw, we love watching your videos and welcome to the KISS Army 🤘❤🤘

In the eighties the IPhone was a dream no one had yet. We had a dial phone and read books and newspapers...and played our vinyl KISS albums on a stereo. I'm of an age, but I love Eminem and Childish Gambino.

...mate what you said after the video was spot on...I saw that video in '83..and I still love it today..and I'm 49 yrs younger hahahaa..rock on brother bear...

I definitely feel the aspect of being pretty calm in person but this music lights a fire in me that I cannot describe.

Love your channel. I'm a Kiss fan and love your take. Keep up the stellar work

Hey man awesome reaction, I haven't seen anyone else cover kiss yet. Thanks for being original, welcome to the kiss army

bro -- you just nailed what KLIOSS is about - staying young and dreaming!! So refreshing to hear their vibe hit youth today too!!

The album this song is from is titled "Creatures of the Night". The video is showing the transformation from a middle class suburbanite to a Creature of the Night and a member of the KISS Army.

the first time they came to brazil i went to see. just as i have saved the ticket for the first rock in rio that i also went to (just on the night of heavy metal), i have the ticket for Kiss. good moments.

Your rant shows you are a wise young man. Stick with the truth, the light. GOD bless us all.

Been a member of the Kiss army since 79 lol, thanks for the memories.

The glowing eye effect was achieved by painting the eyelids of the extras and the band. The extras had to baby step because they didn't know where they were walking to. Some would say that KISS is a product of their time but I say that they are timeless.

The last speach in the video was very well said. I think music is about forgetting troubles in life and having fun. Its a great way to escape to a different world

I have all the classic Kiss albums on cassette. This is one of my favorite songs.

My first concert was Kiss.. Absolutely amazing live!!!

You're right about the core if still being young when you listen to music. I first heard KISS in the radio when I was almost 10 in 1975, and I'm almost 56 now. The music still makes me feel pumped. And you're right about how older music influences new music. Gene Summons saw the Beatles in TV when he was young, maybe 14, and it really changed him. That's when he decided to get unto music.

Here’s a KISS Track from the 1970’s (Specifically Year: 1975 from the KISS Album “Dressed to Kill” Rock-n-Roll All Night and Party Everyday.

When I listen to this song my neighbors do too. Because I LOVE IT LOUD!!!

Jo Jo! We love your open mind!! Kiss has been my favorite band since 1977. Seen them 5 times in my years. One of my favorites is the song "let me go,Rock and roll". Ace pretty much does a guitar solo all through the song.A song that kicks ass makes your heart race.

Not only do I love your reactions to the video but also as a wise young man who has a lot of knowledge and very articulate🤘

Kiss is the Ice cube of metal

The drum sound of this song is phenomenal

I finally subscribed because you seem to genuinely like the music I grew up with and your cool. Keep it up!!!!.

The year of the song, video and album release, is 1982, the album is called Creatures Of The Night.

You are a legend mate playing kiss songs. I love seeing young guys still picking up on these classic bands.

This song is on the album titled, "Creatures of the Night"; the teens are the creatures or also aptly named KISS Army!

You’ve noticed a paradigm that started in the late 90’s. As record labels became incredibly wealthy the way to be as wealthy as possible is to monopolize if possible. So richer ones bought poorer ones. The next problem was how to gain more sources of revenue: buyers (fans). To do that they had to get rid of the divide between genres, that ushered in crossovers between Rock, Country, Rap, Funk and Jazz. Since most fans worship individual musicians, the key is to make the most identifiable member of a band (lead singer) as the only one that matters. Then have them work with other singers from different genres. The end result is to homogenize music as much as possible so as to eliminate how many musicians you have to pay to work for you and promote. That’s why identifiable bands are all-but gone and unknown musicians are given paltry rates of pay for working on tracks, but few ever go on tours. Also, computers with good software cost even less than people… and never want to be paid fairly. And it’s working pretty well.

I love this fresh take on beloved classics. Fun to jam out with you!

Lol, your reaction to Gene with his tongue was great. his tongue is famous because of how long it is, and well how he can move it. Fun fact, Opera once asked him how long it was, he told her it was long enough to make him her new best friend.

Yes! I'm still a kid..... I was in my teens when this came out ;) Good job man!!

Wait wait wait. I think I heard this song a lot as a kid. My older brother must have played it. I had totally forgotten about it. Thanks for bringing this one back into my life, it’s a good one! 100% relate to your rant. That’s why we love listening to songs from our youth (and reactions of those songs), it makes us feel young again.

Great analogy. Never thought about it, but now when you mentioned it. Yupp. Greetings from Sweden.

Just so you know: In many of their songs, the bassplayer (Gene simmons) sings the main vocal. So you’re not hearing the same man as on «i was made for lovin’ you». That was Paul stablet That sung That one. They like switching sometimes:)

This is actually one of the only KISS songs I unabashedly love (it loud). What you said at the end is nice. Cosign.

I'm writing this as you do your rant at the end, but, yeah Kiss is one of the legendary bands for a reason and this video was made early 80s before they took off the makeup and let people see their actual face. The part at the end was meant to represent the fans love the band and follow them and then it showed the band with glowing eyes so they follow the fans too and keep doing what they do so it's a vicious cycle of them doing what they do for the fans and the fans following them for what they do! But, Kiss has always loved that vicious cycle and always wanted to perform and entertain! They finally got inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame after multiple times almost making it because people always said I think they're amazing and deserve honor just not on this list but they definitely deserve it! I think they was almost in the hall of fame 8 times I could be wrong but it was a lot more times they almost made it than anybody else. Anyway, great band and one of the true legends and always good stuff!!!

Nailed it with your commentary! You’re older than your years which is why I follow. 👍
