The bass player, Jim Rodford, would go on to play with The Kinks on their mid-seventies - early-eighties albums before joining Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone in the reformed Zombies. He died tragically back in 2018 from a fall.
Saw Russ Ballard (the singer and principal songwriter) a couple of years ago. He was awesome. Russ also wrote 'Since you've been gone' and 'I surrender' which were two big cover hits for Rainbow
Argent “In Deep” was in almost constant rotation in our house when it came out. HUGE influence.. such an incredible album. We all missed you last night for the Seals and Crofts episode, StephanieJeanne! Hopefully you’re surviving the holidays and all those aunties. 🌲
@@kevin6667 That's cool. I never had an album of theirs, unfortunately. I'm okay, Kevin. I appreciate your kind words. Hope you have a great Christmas, too! See you next time for sure! 😊
And took a song writing credit for that act when the vast majority of the song musically was not their creation, but then again Gene Simmons can sell snow to an Eskimo
The epic solo payoff, the main theme, and the multipart vocals really seem like Queen just took this formula and turned it up to a million. Interesting!
The KISS version is way better than this plodder, but I’m sure people realize that the 70’s version of this song was the original, and not the 90’s one lol
@@hoosfoosfullhis stage right cymbals are oriented in height from low to high and in distance from nearer to farther from the drummer. Also, his entire drum kit is set up such that the drums are very far apart, requiring extra physical effort to play. Pretty silly, but ergonomics weren’t really at top of mind in those days.
Apparently yes, at that time there were no luthiers making copies of guitars. He made or had the holes made and some other changes to the Stratocaster's body, etc. I've seen him using it with a Telecaster neck too.
@@delmedeiros3570 Maybe, maybe not. There were plenty of cheap Japanese guitars with Fender shaped headstocks back then. Best guess is an actual Fender though.
I think it was a Fender Stratocaster that was modded outside of the factory. Definitely not a production piece. Imagine the weight was less than five pounds and east on the back. I was wondering about the possibility of neck drives. I remember Joe Sanitri had some guitars ( Ibanez ) with holes and handles in them.
@@curtisphilumalee1447 I found out it was a 60's era stratocaster originally. Last video I seen it in and it's got a silver body with a telecaster neck and a modern pick guard with a humbucker in the bridge position. With the modern 5 way switch he's added the middle pickup back too.

@@smd2169 Ah. I guess I just don’t understand the whole “purposely clicking on things I hate, just to let people know I hate them” mindset. It just seems like a massive waste of time to me, but I guess everyone has to have a hobby.
One of the great rock anthems of the 70s. Love it!
The guy singing has a great voice, and Rod Argents keys are always great
The great Russ Ballard singing lead!👍👍
I love rock n roll.

I saw him with both then - Zombies about a decade ago.
and his son now plays drums in the Zombies
Jim incidentally was Rod’s cousin.

Happy Day! Got rock and roll in my soul too.
That's another good one! I know it's in my soul! l Merry Christmas Eve everyone! 💜😊
Merry Christmas to you and your family

I was 16 in 1973,fantastic TY!!!! ❤🎉
Rod Argent is one of the greatest key board players. He has played the longest with the Zombies.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎄🎄 Peace brother’s and sister’s … 😉
Grew up with this song......
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 rock n roll yeah.
Merry Christmas Eve. 🕯
Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing!
Happy Holidays! 🎄✨️🎁🦌🎅🤶🧑🎄
Merry Christmas Eve to you too ❤️🙏🎄
For you too, our 70s girl ✌️😘
Thanks for posting this video.
Next stop : "That's Why God Made The Radio" by The Beach Boys
It seems to have more of a gospel vibe to it than the one Kiss did. Kiss changed some of the words.
KISS completely changed the song and made it an anthem. I love KISS’s version! ruclips.net/video/qrn6GcDMHBY/видео.htmlsi=Hd9srngTEfXSPSjG

@@darreng745never knew that. 😂
Petra also did a cover of this. I think it's pretty good. Oh, Sabaton did one too.
I love Kiss but their version was shit. Russ Ballard is a great songwriter and singer.
Wyld Stallions!
The epic solo payoff, the main theme, and the multipart vocals really seem like Queen just took this formula and turned it up to a million. Interesting!

Merry Christmas to you
O mesmo para você ✌️
Great Band & i Love this song♥
Awesome.
i don't think people realize that this is the original, not the KISS version.
This one is better anyway. Argent was always underrated
The KISS version is way better than this plodder, but I’m sure people realize that the 70’s version of this song was the original, and not the 90’s one lol
This was the 1,000,000 song ever played on 102.7 WNEW FM in NYC. (1986).
Amen!
I just found this . I think I want to wake up to this positive message everyday
Simmons Records is coming!!!!
Russ is so good on guitar that he can play it without touching it.
I absolutely love Bob's cymbal setup!.
@@hoosfoosfull Just looks awesome.

@@WhyTheHorseface It's exactly how I would set up my kit if I was a drummer.
Plain awesome ❤
KISS did a great cover. Argent...excellent RockNRoll band
Kiss did crap, as usual
KISS didn’t really cover this as much as re-write it and turn into a rock anthem. This is like Wicked Lester compared to KISS.
@@JulioLeonFandinhoto each their own. Where is Argent now? Lol
@@JulioLeonFandinho
KISS’ was way better than this one.
Sorry.
TMS is the best channel on RUclips, nothing comes close.
How you write and perform a song my friends!
キッスの曲だとずっと思ってたけどカバーだと初めて知りました。
Ia morrer achando que essa música era do Kiss feita em homenagem ao Eric Carr.. kkkkkk
Недавно узнал, что это произведение Расса Бэлларда. Я подозревал, что Kiss не способны сочинить нечто подобное.
What's the story on the "Swiss Cheese" Fender style guitar? Was it an actual Fender guitar?

Bob Henrit looks like Sweet drummer
Well that was different.
i did not know kiss covered this, i thought it was a kiss original.
Kiss covered this song, lol I thought they were the original artist of this song.
yeah me too

I always liked this tune!
I thought KISS was the original composers....
God gave rock ‘n roll to you. But Satan perfected it. (I’m just teasing. Kind of.)
🚬🤠
shame they're miming, possibly live main vocal
I mean I know some people enjoy lip-synching but... 2:35 this is cringing. All the blatant vocal overdubs and the audience is supposed to swallow this as "live" performance?

Come on. This is like a top of the pops show where everyone lip synched

SHAME THAT THE
THREE STOOGES
DON'T FOLLOW IT
LIKE BACK IN THE

Another kiss cover😂
They wish!
Evidence in the "hidden manna" suggests this to be very true, God Gave Rock N Roll To Us
Read the bible at least once - align your minds with God
😂 Love Cliff Richards but please don't tease.
And here I assumed that horrible boy band KISS wrote this horrible song🤣 Silly me believing KISS could write anything
Ah, the edgy comment-section music critic character.
Always a rare treat!
@@Sal-gh1se don’t worry, you can still rock your KISS t shirt as a grown adult though
@@basicbreakfast
As a 55-year old, I will continue to wear my band shirts, but thanks for your interest.
@@Sal-gh1se as a 58 yr. old, you have my condolences
@@basicbreakfast
Enjoy your pipe and slippers, grandpa.
KISS version is better !!
Horriblly trite song and the fact KISS thought it was a good idea to cover it and foist it on the world is a double shame.
Haha
I really think Kiss only did it for Bill and Ted's bogus journey....and then it grew..kinda.
Yeah, they vastly improved this song. But we know, gotta play the edge lord…
@@Sal-gh1se It wasn’t a good song no matter who does it. It’s bullshit.
