The Day ELVIS Discovered KISS! 

Ive read that one of the Stanley brothers met Ace at a book signing and told him the story. Ace was very moved.

You 100% right 👍

Awesome story, I remember that day to

Did the Dictators open for KISS at that gig?

@Electric Sailor , No, it was Cheap Trick, and their opening song was "Hello there Ladies and Gentlemen " I'll never forget.

Elvis if he would’ve lived I think he would’ve went that whole 70’s glam route

If it is a KISS story! For me, it sounds rather like a Billy-Story.

Maybe Elvis never considered either.😊

Parents' reaction to Kiss in the 70's was the same as their reaction to Elvis in the 50's. So yeah, he gets it.

He sure did. He knew KISS much like himself put on a show with the audience wanting more was what is was all about. It would have been awesome if Elvis and Lisa Marie got to meet them back then.

ELVIS was literally made of MUSIC 🥇🕺🎸

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 without EAP would have been no so called "colonel" 🤑👎

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Elvis had a very good voice . He was the first Iconic Rock Star. Without Elvis,there might have been no Beatles,No Rolling Stones,No Led Zeppelin, no KISS . He was a huge influence on every rock n roll artist that came after him.

Kiss were huge so he would have known.

Elvis liked Black Sabbath from what I read.

Have to agree! Only one lung but a full set of fingers! Bought his records decades ago. A real pioneer...🖖

Ace was the sound of early Kiss. Paul to this day can't get over it so he constantly insults Ace's guitar playing. He should be gracious enough to just remain quiet or say that was then and it worked for us at the time. Like an actual adult would do. Hint hint Paul. 🙄

@monty4336 Well I'm not sure about this. On an enterview where Paul is asked to rank KISS guitarists, his feedback on Ace says it all. There wouldn't be KISS without Ace .

Lets be blunt he was a super talented drunk that wouldnt show up for work starting in destroyer...he was worse than Ozzy and Ozzy was B A D....I remember Sharon saying he couldnt remember like 10 years of his life..BUT HE SHOWED UP TO WORK...dont show up even with a union and you will get fired even in a grocery store...all ACE HAD TO DO was show up...he couldnt...Ace wasnt a functional alcoholic and OZZY was...there is a difference...ACES problem became everyones problem.Period.

Ace is Kiss. They are nothing without him

I agree with you 100%

I mean it was his style at one time and he recognized it for what it was. He was a true rocker deep down.

Exactly!!

Me too. I liked Elvis as a kid and “transitioned” to Kiss as a teenager. I’m almost 60 now and still love them both.

KISS played Jailhouse Rock in his honor I believe

@@MENFUSSMIKE you know I'm not sure I remember them saying they dedicated a song but that was so long ago I don't remember, 🤔✌️

Thanks for watching! I can see why you thought that

@artistsonrecord I loved your video as I grew up with ELVIS cause of my Dad plus KISS from my older Sister. She used to have a KISS record player I was in awe of. Something funny, as a Kid I thought microphone covers and Gene Simmons hair were the same material

Pump the brakes, its only "awesome" if its true, this family named Stanley have been known to lie about Elvis storys in the past, remember people just because they were there, and with Elvis, doesnt mean they cant lie

​@@leeknievel748 why are you lumping them all together? You're lumping them all with their mom, elvis' step mom who hated elvis and blamed him bec her husband and sons loved elvis. 2nd ricky stanley is different from Billy and david bec he was close to priscilla. They are all individuals

I can totally imagine what it would have been like having Elvis join Kiss on stage to sing that song 😁😁 The audience would have lost their minds... We can dream, can't we 🙂 ?

Kiss made a song about banging a 16 year old. Never forget.

I thought the same thing!

@@KISStributeNYC97 🙂🙂

I was rocking out to this version of the song before discovering this video. Spooky coincidence.

Do you really, really believe that this phrase existed back then? Or did this Billy Stanley put the words in Elvis's mouth?

@@artistsonrecord Absolutely.

@bwana-ma-coo-bah No. I think it would have been cool. Eddie Van Halen sounded great on Beat It. Stranger things have happened. Sid Vicious channeled Frank Sinatra, and it was definitely interesting. Why not?

Great, but true? Decades later, all of the sudden?

You got that right 100%Elvis Presley always Be the king of rock and roll He never be forgotten 2023 and beyond 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

John Lennon quote Awesome

@@reubensane5539 Lennon also said the same about Chuck Berry.

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 he has said that quote many times and an interview asked him to clarify & he said Elvis change d his life it wasn’t him making fun of Elvis. That revisionist right there

@@dondread7363 Not ture that is a fact look it

And he met both Alice and the Led Zep guys

@@rickeap Yes, I read about that recently. That was really cool to know I wonder if Elvis knew about the band Angel also as guitarist Punky Meadows loves Elvis and is a massive fan of him.

With A.I. you will be able to hear that.

Exactly what I thought. I could definitely hear his vocal style and the tcb band playing it!

SleightofMind - I think Elvis could have done a good cover of Detroit Rock City too

Billy and I talked a little about Goulet in the unedited VIP ALL ACCESS SHOW. Funny story

Johnny Rigg Yes & No. KISS have released 44 albums including 20 studio albums in their 50 year history. They aren't exclusively a 3 chord band like they had been in the mid 70s.They had progressed musically over the decades & are a bit more musically inclined than what you're assuming. There is many sides to KISS musically & asthetically. Some of their best music came in the mid 80s to mid 90s when the band were touring without the makeup & releasing new music then. Overall It was more technical guitar anthemic hard rock based music then the music they made in the 70s. One thing great about KISS is that they have a lot of good catchy rock songs with good guitar hooks. In isolation,a lot of musicians are better than KISS,but KISS had the hooks,the phrasing, the short riffs,the anthemic choruses and three part harmonies and combined that with their visuals,which their music was. That's why they commercially made it where a lot of bands didn't.

Not at all.. they are the heavy rock version of the Beatles .. in a way diverse talented and trale blazers.

@@studio-flash Yes I agree KISS are definitely a Hard Rock version of The Beatles. I always thought the Beatles were a personality group. Every Beatles fan pretty much had their favourite Beatles member, the same thing is in KISS. I see them as a personality group where every die hard KISS fan has a favourite KISS band member.

@@studio-flash I love Kiss saw them in 78,79 at 12 yrs old then many times after. Though I believe the Beatles wrote most of their material except the cover songs where Kiss had many collaborators writers and players. I love them though as a kid.

"A cloud of dust"? On the album? "Dust" is not accustical. Why should Elvis speak nonsense. Honestly, I don't believe this guy! Are there any witnesses?

You know Adika, I drummed for and later managed Bobby Whitlock, Buddy Miles and more for YEARS…….. LOL IVE GOT STORIES!! These folks had extremely interesting careers.

He did do epic music!❤

Potential? The guy is immortal and the king. Not sure he could’ve done anything more. Geez.

HE had to live the time destined to HIM, like all of us 🙏🕺💎

One of the top selling entertainers of all time. Most impersonated entertainer of all time. The Elvis franchise released 2 CD'S in the last 10 years that that reached #1 on the classical charts almost 40 years after his death. Second Most visited home in the United States next to the White House. Nixon with Elvis is the most requested photos from the Congressional Archives. Was the conduit that brought black culture music to the forefront to the white people. First entertainer to have a sold out concert at Madison Square Garden. Did 39 movies. First entertainer to have a worldwide concert broadcasted by Satellite to 69 countries. Inspired countless musical artist and continues to do so. All this and more before the age of 42 and and his death and is still selling music. Even the Elvis Lives concert tour was a hit among people of all ages and he wasn't even there in real life. Suspicious Minds was the most radio requested song for many years. Could he have lived longer had he stayed healthy. Well...yeah. We all could. But I don't know how much more potential you're looking for. And "epic music"? I don't know what music of his you're listening to. But a lot of it is epic. Even Paul Simon went to watch Elvis in concert and Elvis sang Paul Simon's song Bridge Over Troubled Water. Paul's words, "How can you compete with that?" BTW, Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard's Hot 100 Pop Chart in America. Of these, 114 were in the top forty, 40 were in the top 10, and 18 went to number one. His number one singles spent a total of 80 weeks at number one.

@@graziettacarcetta2498 There is no such thing as "destiny". How short you live is entirely up to you. And how long you live, especially with radically improving modern medical technology is increasingly up to you as well. Believing in "destiny" in ANY sense of the word, is no different from believing that the world is flat.
