Kiss - A World Without Heroes (Live On Fridays) 

A rare solo by Paul and a great one! Love Gene's voice!

Kiss should never apologize for this album or songs like this they are some of their best

Gene's voice sounds amazing here!

The Elder is the most underrated and misunderstood album of the Kiss catalog. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's also one of Kiss' greatest songs.

Gene always had a good voice, a unique voice at that. You can hear it in the older albums. His background vocals are awesome and very noticeable as well. Wish this song was about one minute longer!

Gene is a phenomenal vocalist. Always sending chills down your spine

Paul killed the solo!!!

I am not even a KISS fan, yet this song I am addicted to.

BRILLIANT, I loved the Elder era!

This is a great song. Gets buried down in the KISS catalogue just from the sheer number of great songs they have. Great lead vocal by Gene. Great solo by Paul. He was always a very soulful lead player as oppose to Aces unique style

Who knew The Demon was so sentimental?

How good it feels to see all these positive reactions. I absolutely loved this album and thought i was only one. I was already looking forward to a follow up album at the time.

I remember seeing this for the first time on tv . It was a special moment even though it didn’t get the attention it deserved . The song is simply brilliant and very moving . The album is a matter of taste but over time it got better and one can really appreciate it today ! I love Kiss so maybe I’m impartial but I love the album . The oath , Just a boy , only you , under the rose , and this song are as good as any kiss songs they have released . Miss the 80’s !!

Love this song and Gene's voice is perfect for it!

Great song,Kiss should play today in this style,and this song should be played at big concerts

I remember being 16 and seeing this song performed on 'Fridays' and being deeply moved. I thought it was a great step forward for KISS.

I love this song it is one of my favorite songs by KISS!💖

This has got to be one of the greatest live performances for television ever. And the song? Well, it pulls yer heart. Pulls it in a most tragic fashion and doesn’t let go. Just look at Gene’s eyes. He truly believes in the moment, and delivers. These fellas were fantastic.

Solid solo from Paul Stanley!!!

When I heard that Stan Lee had passed away yesterday...it was not long afterwards that this song came to mind.

Wow. You can tell Paul did the solo on the album. Plays it very accurately here. Reminds me of his solo on the Take Me Away song on his solo album. He indeed has some creativity of his own, but rarely used it on KISS albums.

This live version sounds even better than the lp version

this was great. I was totally expected this to be the typical lip-synch sort of thing that dominated back then, but this is all live!

I am blow away over his voice. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you

This is an amazing performance!

This song always brings me to tears😢 I try not to listen to much 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😢

My new favorite kiss song cant get it out of my head since the first time i heard it

Killer tune. It actually got a lot of airplay in the Charlotte area late '81-early '82. Heard it regularly on the ride to high school. LOVE this album. Kiss was the best Kiss when they did the unexpected. Bought it when it dropped so I could check out the new drummer. Heavy!! Wish they'd made the movie. The comic book was stupid. I always assumed it was Medieval times - more of an Excalibur story.

I'm a Prog rock aficionado, and I think this is one if the greatest songs ever written. It's up there with the Beatles "Let it Be".

1:44 That moment when you realize Paul played the solo, not only on this, but Sure Know Something, played the melody on Detroit Rock City while Ace played harmony. He could play lead if he wanted to.

What a gorgeous song, I love this live version of it

Finally! I've always wanted to see Paul play lead guitar live.

God such a misunderstood album... Wish they could have at least played ONE show in support of it... Gene spewing blood them singing Mr. Blackwell would have ruled

Steffan Pila Great Live Version of "A World Without The Heroes" by Kiss. It's like Kansas meets Moody Blues. A Very Prog- Rock Upbeat Tempo Song. By far, the best song from the "Music From The Elder" album. Thank you.

Wow. As someone that listened to Kiss Symphony before anything else, this is absolutely beautiful.

studio version entered Billboard Dec 12, 1981 ..reached #56

Kiss are a very talented band and I didn't know they could do songs so beautiful like this until I looked into some of this same era of their music which was brief, but rewarding. I also say Angel are far superior to Kiss, but I think we need both bands and I wish we could have them now. Angel are kings and Kiss are kings I feel like crying when I look at what makes it today and I have cried. There was a time when bands like Kiss and Angel were very successful and I'm damned sad I was really just a young kid then. Memories flood back of the distant past. One of the best for me was when in 1988 I was being abused in school and I was 12 years old I got suspended from the shitty school I was in and came home that day and my dad handed me a copy of ROCK AND ROLL OVER. I laughed and laughed and laughed! I played it and grooved to it. I love flamboyance. Let's hear it for America's two best bands of the mid 70s through to eternity KISS and Angel. And please stop the hatred towards Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons they are the two founders of the band.

A great song from an under appreciated album ... The Elder is worth a listen - especially if you understand the Templar Knights and the Oath ....

Love this song. Love The Elder, my favourite Kiss album. Adore prog and concept albums so its always been a treasure.

Never knew Paul played leads like that, badass and super heartfelt man! 💚😎❤

April 4 2020, how the message of this song means so much in today's world situations. Where would we be without the front line heroes. This live appearance aired in 1981, thank you KISS for a song well ahead of its time. Some one get to the KISS people, do a montage of the front line heroes with this song, and let it be their anthem. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.

mi ripeto: music from the elder è un grandissimo album 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Love that guitar solo!!

I've liked Kiss most of my life, but I am just now discovering Music From the Elder. Quite a departure for them, but I really really like it. Apparently it was a flop when it came out. In retrospect, it was a brilliant album.

Gene’s voice is really nice and smooth when he wants it to be. When he isn’t using his “Demon Voice.”

Wonderful song.....and great solo guitar of Stanley.......

This song could be five minutes long (revisited) it's so damn epic. ☕

Say what you want about the album as a whole: this is a good song.

Gene's vocals here are very good, also Paul's guitar solo are beautiful.

The elder was misunderstood and this is my all time favorite song among so many... I discovered kiss with crazy nights (thief was my fav!) at the age of twelve and dove in on my own... the elder blew me away. Lick it up and animalize were the only two albums i never got ahold of in vinyl. My collection was stolen. Anyhow... hi to the brethren🙂

Everything about this video is amazing. Great underrated song live. Paul playing the solo. I wish we could see the keyboard player (unless it was a track which seems likely).

I love this song

Beautiful song 🎵 ❤

Lou reed had some in put either to writing or recording this song!This is super duper rare in the annal of Kisstory!

Great solo! 🎸👍

Short but sweet. A freaking amazing song. Gene does it justice and Paul's solo isn't half bad!

This specific performance made me absolutely fall in love with KISS

The Elder is one ir the best Kiss albums. So underated... but i love all the tracks and the history inside

Love it! 💜

A must for the FINAL Show on the End Of The Road Tour just before Rock n Roll All Night.

I love this song and performance :)

A World World without Heroes is a huge song! It was a huge Gene's performance!

as little kids, staying up to watch Fridays was the highlight of our week. seeing/hearing KISS on Fridays was the highlight of our year.

this song never gets any credit by KISS FANS or anyone else for that matter HOWEVER i think it's a cool tune , gene sings it very well , MUSIC FROM THE ELDER was actually a good album , it showed KISS'S versatility in writing songs , well done KISS!!!

"A World Without Heroes" A world without heroes Is like a world without sun You can't look up to anyone Without heroes And a world without heroes Is like a never ending race Is like a time without a place A pointless thing devoid of grace Where you don't know what you're after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know In a world without heroes In a world without dreams Things are no more than they seem And a world without heroes Is like a bird without wings Or a bell that never rings Just a sad and useless thing Where you don't know what you're after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know In a world without heroes There's nothing to be It's no place for me

The Gene is so cool that it makes you marvel at him every time! 🤤

Beautiful

WOW 🥰. THE BEST DRUM PLAYER AND THE BEST DRUM KIT KISS EVER HAD!! SINGLE HEAD DEEP LUDWIG CHROME DRUMS WOW!!!! CLASSIC KISS!!

Great ballad, great lyrix, ... love it.

when you're a 12 yr old KISS fan, spending yer days playing Dungeons & Dragons and THIS album drops, you're in heaven

Great song and Live.

This is why I love gene he has such a range vocally and sounds amazing no matter where he’s at

Awesome! Gene sings very special and good !

This song This video The sadness in Gene's eyes Makes me cry

exelente canción !!!

Hermosa época!!! KISS 1981 !!!

One the most iconic Kiss Vídeos

If you ever heard this on the radio or really anywhere for the first time, you would never guess that this was heavy rock band wouldja? Americas shock pop heavy hard rock virtuosos, KISS!

as kiss most kiss fans moved on during this time they came back with creatures of the night a short time later and things began too look up i seen them live Jan/83 with make up in Toronto they had a battle tank stage it was so cool

Another Awesome Classic,Dedicated to Lt. General Russell Honore, for his help assisting the people of New Orleans after Katrina, in 2005, A real American Hero!

Beautiful song.

The greatest solo by a rhythm guitarist.

Dude---this song is SO FUCKING GOOD.

This sounds pretty darn good live.

Impecable performance. When guys were focused they were unbeatable.

Great song !!!!

Rip. Dad. Forever my hero, forever i’ll miss you.

The “Bob Ezrin produced this right after he did The Wall by Link Floyd” vibe is so strong with this song lol

So sooo good

Fantastic

Paul's solo is killer

They'll never die😊

Probably his best underrated song

Gene had such a beautifully rich voice. It's really too bad he didn't use more instead of all that growling while playing the part of the God of Thunder!

l love this

Like This style on kiss!! And the great song ;)

Simmons y Stanley. Definitivamente.....los jefes!!!!!!

KISS's the BEST !

Good song. Very underrated

Best he has done in years,needs more like it.
