They Are Growing ON ME! | KISS - Detroit Rock City | REACTION/REVIEW 

Must do kiss alive from beginning to end 😎🎸

There is no way to tell you how huge they were in the 70’s. They were our Beatles, put their own blood in the ink of their kiss comic books, and scared every parent I knew

Two words: Love Gun.

"Black Diamond" released back in 1974 in the earlier years of 'Kiss' is fire. 'Dressed to Kill' an album released the following year in 1975 is smokin' hot. "Rock Bottom", "Two Timer", "C'mon and Love Me", "She", "Ladies in Waiting", "Room Service" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" tracks from the album are all bangers. 💫🎭🎤🎸🥁⚡🔥☮🎧

Grew up with kiss in my teens,great band in the 70's😊

So glad to see someone reacting to a Kiss song other than I Was Made For Loving You! Props, bruh!

Early Midnight Special. SHE, BLACK DIAMOND.

My first favorite Rock group, 1976. Brooklyn NY , air guitaring with the other 12 year olds. Peter Kriss lived in my neighborhood for a short time. The whole neighborhood were KISS fanatics, KISS Army ETC.

Loved Kiss back in the day. Bassist Gene Simmons helped Van Halen get signed.

"Detroit Rock City" has been the KISS concert opener since it was released in 1976 on the "Destroyer" album. This is a remixed version from the album, which had a guy getting his keys out and then starting his car at the beginning, and then crashing the car at the end. Based on a true story of a fan that was killed on the way to a show. Solo by Ace Frehley.

Oh, you should’ve done the original from destroyer it gives more meaning to the song with the story and the car

Gene's bass is excellent in this...

For sure they are infectious. When I was a small child… I saw them on lunch boxes and weird tie ins to cartoon TV, I’m not sure if they made Sesame Street. But as an adult I finally went back and listened to their songs and I gotta say, the hype was deserved. Also Gene Simmons was a hellova salesman. He was all business that guy.

KISS should always be seen & heard live 🔥🎸

Saw them in person when I was 16, many moons ago. Their show was unbelievable. If you can find a video of their song ""God of Thunder" you'll get to see Gene Simmons ( the bassist" breathe fire and spit blood lol

If you do the album review it really should be KISS ALIVE! KISS in their outrageous prime!

You should do the album version of this song. There’s a few extras. Gene Simmons,aka the demon is the bassist

Kiss live is where it’s at! ❤

Had their albums.❤

From a life long fan... You almost always want to go with live clips with KISS! You have to see what all that looks like!!

Kiss were formed in NYC in 1973 by Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar/ vocals) and Gene Simmons (bass/ vocals)... they enlisted Peter Criss (drums) and Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and came up w/ the concept of wearing face paint in characters and costumes after seeing Alice Cooper live in concert... Their first 3 albums sold poorly between 1974/ '75 but their double live album 'Alive!' in 1975 sold platinum and gave them a huge hit single - 'Rock and roll all nite' (live version) Kiss returned in 1976 w/ the album 'Destroyer'... and the piano ballad 'Beth' (sung by Peter Criss) became an unexpected pop hit and made Kiss superstars by 1977... Kiss marketed their image and logo more than their actual music in the 70's. However, the band was fracturing by 1978 and the Kiss disco album 'Dynasty' in 1979 did not help, even after the disco single 'I was made for loving you' became an international hit... Drummer Peter Criss was out of the band by 1980, struggling w/ drug abuse... Lead guitarist Ace Frehley left in 1982, also struggling w/ drug and alcohol addictions... Kiss hired Eric Carr (drums) in 1980 and Vinnie Vincent (lead guitar) in 1982... but Kiss did so poorly on tour that the only option was to relaunch the band... In 1983, Kiss took off their makeup on MTV and announced their non-makeup era w/ the album 'Lick it up' and became a platinum sensation again in the 80's... Vinnie Vincent was fired in 1984... replaced briefly by lead guitarist Mark St. John... and then, Bruce Kulick (lead guitar) in '84... Kiss scored gold and platinum albums in the 80's. In 1991, tragedy struck Kiss after drummer Eric Carr was diagnosed w/ cancer and passed away in late 1991... He was replaced in 1992 by Eric Singer (drums) who appeared on the 1992 album 'Revenge' and 1996 'MTV Unplugged'. In 1996, Kiss reunited the original band for a tour in full makeup w/ Peter Criss and Ace Frehley rejoining... but the same issues came up while recording the 1998 Kiss album 'Psycho circus'... In 2000, Kiss announced their 'farewell tour' and parted ways w/ Peter Criss in 2001... Ace Frehley was out by 2002. Kiss began touring actively again in 2004 w/ Eric Singer (drums) and Tommy Thayer (lead guitar) assuming the makeup characters of Peter and Ace... They released 2 more albums - 'Sonic boom' (2009) and 'Monster' (2012) before they announced the end of Kiss' touring days in 2023 after their final tour.

If you really want to treat yourself to something special. Check out the five piece all female Japanese rock/hardrock/metal group out of Japan of course. And the name of the group is called Nemophilia. They do an amazing in studio version of this song complete with makeup. It is definitely worth checking out. Keep up the good work.

Killer Kiss tune.My fave! Thanks for this one!

Opening TraK from my favorite KISS album,”DESTROYER” I was 11 years old and I heard this shit and I was hooked KISS ARMY 👅👄⚡️😾

Produced by Bob Ezrin. He had just done Alice Cooper's "Goes to hell" album. After this he produced Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

That bass line is crazy

Can’t go wrong with early KISS! She, 100,000yrs, Cold Gin, Strutter,Firehouse are few songs to get ya started!

Try Domino for a real banger

The "Demon" was on bass. ;-) (Gene Simmons)

It's a Rock song with tragedy💧 Deep emotion. But "Get up!" and rock💥

There's a short video out there where Paul's hair catches fire but he keeps on jamming while his helpers put the fire out and fix his doo it's crazy 🔥

In 1976 i saw these guy's at the swing auditorium in San Bernardino Ca I was at stage left right out front watching Gene AKA The demon Simmons man i swear i had to go into the rest room and wash the theatrical blood off my clothes But at 17 years old i loved every fucking moment of it!!

This song was written about a fan on the way to a show of theirs they gotten a horrific accident on the way to the show and died

Black Diamond live on the Midnight Special won't ruin it for you.

The Hottest Band in the Land... in the 70's. They really did dominate rock music for many years, partly for their music, partly for their image and merchandise, mostly for their live shows. They are cliche' now, but that is because they set the cliche

My first concert 1979! Took my grandsons to see them in 2021! They kicked ass! Thevids loved it🤟🎸🤟🎸!

The original album cut has a car crash at the end.

Here's a link to a Kiss live performance of 'Detroit rock city' in 1999 w/ the original band - Paul Stanley (vocals/ rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (bass/ vocals), Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and Peter Criss (drums)... Both Criss and Frehley would also sing occasionally, but Paul & Gene were the man 2 vocalists: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RGQ2zaVSejg.html

Well, if u gonna wanna see blood-spitting, then u gonna watch God Of Thunder... if u wanna see fire-breathing, then u gonna watch Firehouse... if u wanna see smoking-guitar, then u gonna watch Shock Me.... if u wanna see levitating-drums, then u gonna watch Black Diamond... aww, fuck it- just watch 'em ALL! fr you feel me

Been a fan all my life. Parasite or Watching you. Heavy tunes

One of their best songs. BTW the movie of the same name is funny as hell! Kiss isn't in it but it's about going to a Kiss concert. Love the movie!

I grew up with Kiss in the 70's. You have no idea just how popular they were. I even collected packs of stickers of them. Their live act is something to see. Rock n Roll all Nite is a good live one to check out

Legendary solo by Space Ace. It's not flashy or over long. Like Clapton said about solos, it's not what you put into then but rather what you leave out.

Rock honors 2006 Detroit Rock City live was pretty good performance.

Kiss has some genuinely good music. A lot of their problem is that they went SUPER hard on merchandising and marketing and especially in the late 80's and early 90's they transformed to be more about image than music. Their classics are still great rock, though.

For hard rock songs: Creatures Of The Night or Unholy. For power ballads Forever, or Every Time I Look At You

Do STRUTTER! Do I LOVE IT LOUD! Do DOMINO!

DRC is a big song. What I mean by big is sonically big. No wasted space in this song.

Kiss was hard rock in the seventies. Maybe the glam metal moniker pertains to the eighties? I don't know. I paid less attention to them in the eighties than I did in the seventies. I typically point newbies to studio recordings for first listens with few exceptions. This is one of those exceptions -- "Black Diamond" off Kiss Alive! Followed up by their performance of the song on The Midnight Special. They left the audience stunned at the end of it.

"You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" is a humdinger of a song by Bo Diddley.

You need to go back and watch all the original videos of Kiss with these songs up to '78 The videos with the songs are awesome

Great song and reaction

One of the two best live Detroit rock city videos the last tour of the four originals: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Itx55V4P5H0.htmlsi=inHinBWj6y4P-_NT

Amo o Kiss ❤amoooo Paul Stanley

Thanks Biz! Here's from 1977 Budokan Japan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--o5FK4UYhhI.htmlsi=K_GmDPuVb3Nyi5d and here they are in 1998 at Dodger stadium ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaQ0jrYW9MQ.htmlsi=ZTeXbK0OjBFyhcMm few to mention from the make up years 70s-early 80s (If you can find the MIDNIGHT SPECIAL performances from '75 -"Deuce,""C'Mo & Love Me" "She" & Black Diamond" you will not be disappointed), then "Love Gun" "Shock Me" "God of Thunder" "Strutter" "I Love it Loud""I Still Love You" "War Machine" then Non-makeup 84+ "Lick it Up" "All Hell's breaking Loose" "Heavens on Fire" "Reason to Live" & the song my wife and I had in our wedding "Forever" . ❤ This is just the beginning Padawan 😁🤘😈

Damn this song is catchy.

Come on everyone! Let’s get this up to 1000 likes!

Kickin tune

Glad you hear the blues influences! They are heavily influenced by blues, blues rock (like Led Zeppelin), etc. and Paul Stanley is heavily influenced by Motown (which I think is evident in his vocals on this song).

My favorite Kiss song has to be Strutter 🤘

God of thunder

The power of an Open Mind is Super Power yall. Js

Gene Simmons plays bass.

All their stuff before they first removed the make up is great.. but as with all aging/old rock bands they become a tribute band to their own earlier work. Rock and Roll really is a young man's game...that said \m/ KISS Rock hard still, as good today as 50 years ago

Im a Lions fan and you gonna drop this one RIGHT after I took a jab at these dudes in your last upload? This is gameday gospel. Truly diabolical.🤣

Rock on! BUTT the "difference" is .. watch ANY band before KISS and EVERY band after. KISS created the SHOW with kick ass music ! THEN it mostly became the SHOW. (to this day) Few have achieved BOTH and no one close to KISS! I remeber Paul Stanley saying "a crappy song that don't sound good on acoustic is just a crappy song".

Here , good, Hi Biz

Hey young man I'm getting stoned on vanilla cake I've been into kiss since the very first album yes I've seen them live at cobo Hall Detroit Saw them live at pine knob north detroit, saw them at kalamazoo wing stadium, Grand Rapids at Van andel arena so they're very good life by the way I loved a lot of their songs but no one ever reacts to my favorite buy them and it was a hit but no one reacts to it let me go rock and roll

I am not a fan of KISS whatsoever, but I do like this song.

OooooWeeeee💃🏻❤️

The song SHE will give you some great Gene Simmons.

Awesome ! Here it is live from one of their farewell concerts. It's a good quality video. All the ones from back in the day are not so good audio quality. But this one is great! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6N6UL6cdFkY.html

Shout it out loud

The best live version of let me go rock is on the internet live at Detroit cobo Hall 1975 please check it out it's fire

Gene Simmons was on bass guitar

No band worked harder back in the 70's

Per your request for a live performance of a song you've heard already- "Dr Love" from 1980 in Australia ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T1UHcmmarPQ.htmlsi=UY2A7zMiQ8a9E604

Not a big hit but those sch...lyrics are crazy

Do You Love Me

I'LL PAY YOU NOT TO DO BETH OR ROCK N ROLL ALL NITE

Gene Simmons, the one with the big long tongue, is the bass player.
