I was about 11 when this came out. Many couches were used as trampolines, and many cricket bats used as fake guitars, when this song came on the TV in our lounge room.
Since someone mentioned female musicians, I'll throw out a couple of suggestions: We Got the Beat by the GoGo's, and Hazy Shade of Winter by the Bangles.
My mom and dad drove my friends and I to our first KISSmas concert. They even watched the show(sitting way far away) and and my mom told me that someone passed my dad a joint.
Yeah that's why there was such a backlash against Disco. As all these Rock bands began to do disco songs, I think the fans were scared disco was going to take over rock. In my opinion this song and "Beth" were the best songs Kiss ever did.
me too..my older brother was a huge kiss fan and for Halloween he would dress up as Gene, make up, the whole works plus had natural frizzy hair to take his costume over the top lol 😆 Anyways, my understanding is that Paul Stanley wrote this song in a matter of minutes and it actually kept them relevant through the whole Disco era, Which killed alot of bands but not kiss. That was pure genius 😁👍🏼
You have now been introduced to The Beast (Gene Simmons - Bass), The Star Child (Paul Stanley - Vocals, Guitar), The Cat (Peter Criss - Drums), and The Space Man (Ace Frehley - Lead Guitar). KISS is one of the most singular bands EVER! I was a kid when they were just hitting it big in the seventies. This song was their only real radio hit (until "Lick It Up" in the 80s), and it was almost considered a "disco song" and kinda pissed off the hard-core KISS Army fans. Fun facts: As a singer, Paul Stanley is an oddity as he is deaf in one ear. Gene Simmons was born in Israel and is the marketing genius behind the band (which is probably one of the wealthiest bands in the merch alone). They are the only two members of the band who have been there the whole time, and they are best friends. Paul Stanley once played the Phantom of the Opera in Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary stage musical in Toronto. The band was paranoid about being seen or photographed without the make-up, and it wasn't until the 80s (the time of "Lick It Up") that they didn't perform without the make-up. They went back to the make-up in the late 90s. Gene Simmons made a few movies as an actor, but he was never very successful with acting. During their early touring in the seventies, they were frequently on the same bill with RUSH. In fact, while KISS was always crazy backstage and RUSH was kinda boring, the two bands have only ever had warm and excellent things to say about each other because they became friends while on the road. "Beth", "God Gave Rock and Roll To You", "Love Gun", "Sure Know Something", and "Rock and Roll All Night" are some of their best songs. My personal favorite version of this song was during their Australian tour in the early 2000s when they had the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra onstage with them. 'KISS Symphony: Alive IV' is an amazing album...and their rendition of this, with a full 110 piece symphony orchestra is pretty breathtaking!
The song wasn't "Allmost" sonsidered to be a disco song! It was the product of a self imposed challange. When Kiss' new producer asked them, "to go deep in side of them to find material for disco song" Paul Stanley laughed at him and claimed "Writing a disco song is EASY compared to a rock song". He leaft the studio and met Desmonds child on the way out and asked him if he has a few minutes of time left to co-write a Disco song for Kiss, just for fun. Two days laiter they produced the song in the studio and Simmons hated to be forced to sing stupid shit like "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo" ....and that became their most successfull song....lol Make something suitable to listen too by even the dumbest person and you get a world hit record.
@donna loncar I'm sure salsonny meant this was Kiss' attempt at a disco type/dance tune. It was definitely not like their earlier hits, but disco was starting to take over the charts.
@donna loncar It's much closer to Disco than Prog and the whole 70s metal culture hated the fact that they did this song. They were always sell outs and proud of it, but this crossed the line for many fans.
@donna loncar The drum beat is very much a disco beat as is the rhythmic feel of the bass. Even vocally, Paul's falsetto bridge is very much a Disco trait.
As I recall, Paul hated disco and said it doesn't take any talent to make a disco song and wrote this in 15 minutes or so, more or less as a joke, but the record company loved it.
That time when Kiss did a disco song. But it still rocked! I was a proud member of the Kiss Army in my teen years! Most of the rest of their songs were much harder rock, but they had a few good ballads too. And this was the group's classic original lineup.
Co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are the masterminds behind the group 90% of the songwriting is split between them. Yes Gene has taking over the marketing after Bill Ocoin their first manager started it. But Paul came up with the name KISS and kept the band alive during the non makeup years. Gene was busy with his side projects. Finding new bands managing new bands acting etc. He was phoning in his contributions to the band at that time.
@@chrissarina981 kiss army member since 1978 when I somehow ended up at my first concert at 12 years old and the band was Kiss! My dad lived in a highrise located directly across a narrow side street, from the montreal forum in Montreal, Canada. We spent summers visiting him there and I somehow ended up at their concert along with my sister and four other teenagers. I had never heard their music and had only seen their pictures in my tiger beat magazines. Which I collected for pictures of my crush Shaun Cassidy. The Kiss concert was phenomenal and I've been a member of kiss army ever since! I'm going to see them on their farewell tour on August 29th in Atlanta GA. David Lee Roth is touring with them as well!
Kiss is so legendary, I can’t even being to describe it. There are so many good songs. In elementary school, the boys dressed as Kiss members. It was awesome.
My wife and I actually sat at a table next to Gene and his wife in their restaurant at LAX.We talked back and forth between eating and people trying to get pictures and other things. I was really impressed with the way he treated a preteen brother and sister.
If you really want to see how good Paul Stanley’s vocal ability is, you need to check out their performance of “I Still Love You” from their MTV Unplugged.
Kiss's drummer didn't even play on this recorded version. It was a session drummer by the name of Anton Fig. He play drums with the Late Night with David Letterman house band. Also played on Cyndi Laupers "Girls just want to have fun".
First concert my sister and I ever went to was KISS it was the Destroyer tour, I was 14 my sister was 12.... Ace Frehley was and still is my favorite, Peter Criss was my sisters....
Lauri Ann Austin Springfield Civic Ctr Massachusetts Jan 28th 1978!! Blew my 10 yr old mind!! My Dad took my older brother and I and a few other kids on a 5 hr bus ride from NY. Incredible
KISS has a great catalogue, I was a huge KISS fan back in the day. Songs you really consider are Rock and Roll all Nite, Detroit Rock City, Beth, Hard Luck Woman, Shout it Out Loud...
✨✨Yes you're right JV...listen to all types of music!. I didn't, so I missed a lot of great bands. Thanks to you I'm listening to 'new' old music and enjoying it more than I thought I would.✨✨
OMG I absolutely loved your reaction, I couldn't keep my eyes off your face haha! I grew up listening to this song and i've seen them live in their Sydney Australia concert, they are an awesome band but you are even more awesome with this fabulous reaction. Love everything you're doing, you made my night and always keep me smiling. And i totally agree with you, we need to sample all types of music.
@@JayveeTV awww sooo happy you replied to me, this was honestly my first ever RUclips comment I just had to thank you cause you're a pleasure to watch.
Back in the late 70s when Disco was top of the charts Kiss almost had to conform to the times and they did with this track off "Dynasty " Check out their classic rockers "Rock and Roll All Night", "Detroit Rock City" "Love Gun" etc
If dynasty is a disco album - which one is the second disco song? I listened to it daily and this was the only song I remember having more of a "disco" sound
2000 man, comes to mind. This album is very different in style than anything previous. It has a pronounced dance beat. I mean can you imagine dancing to “god of thunder”?
Kiss was so huge in the ‘70’s-‘80’s you could buy just about anything band themed in merchandise. I had friends with the lunchboxes, action figures, platform boots, mugs. I think there was even a Kiss Cereal at one point...
So glad you enjoyed the song! KISS has so many awesome songs. A lot of people judge and can't get past their looks, when in all actuality they are incredible musicians that produced decades of great music.
Now KISS, is definately, a "one of a kind" band!!! One of my brothers use to REALLY be into them when he was a teenager (born early 60's) & let me tell u, he could DRAW HIS BUTT...... OFF!!!!! He would draw all the Kiss members, TO THE TEE; costumes, face paint, those cool crazy boots, ALL OF IT, from head to toe. My point is, does it look like it would be EASY to draw them?! Not at all, NOT AT ALL! Then again, he's left handed, so many left handed ppl draw very well. (automatic cheat) Lol... They actually hav a nice slow ballad called "Beth". It's really good...
I saw Kiss just last summer, and they have the most fun live show!! The "people-watching" at their show is great too, so many fans dress up like them, faces and everything!! Try listening to Beth, if you're in the mood for their one ballad.
LOVEEEEEEE Your Reaction!! I'm so Glad you got to see it!! I am so EXCITED because i got tickets to their FAREWELL Concert Sept 4, of this year 2021!! I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!
My first love ❤️ in rock and roll, I was part of the KISS ARMY. You should check out Beth, Dr Love, Heavens on Fire, so so many great songs. ❤️ Thanks for reacting to KISS, can’t wait for more.
My first concert in 1978. I was twelve. Lol! Montreal forum, montreal Canada. My dad lived in a highrise directly across a narrow side street from the Montreal forum building! I had never heard their music and somehow ended up at their concert with my sister and two other teenagers. It was such an amazing concert and show. Every single song was epic. We had seats way up near the sky. but it was inconsequential the energy was throughout the entire venue. Then we saw gene simmons flying by in front of us, on wires or a platform, up close! Lol. Such an amazing time. I'm going to see them on August 29th here in Atlanta georgia. Great tickets for a little more than $100. Prices start at $39 for the back lawn, $89-99 for intermediate sections. And $120-$1000 for the three front sections in front of the stage. Their final tour, and David Lee Roth is also touring with them!
KISS saw them twice in concert... my ears have permanent tinnitus... but that is for all of the concerts I saw. They are amazing!!! The first concert I ever attended. Their alias... Lover, Demon, Alien/Spaceman, Cat. They are very talented.
One of the only Bands in the rock world that you can let your young kids listen too ... very clean lyrics for the most part ... been a fan since I was 10... introduced my son to them when he was 10 and my grandkids (especially my granddaughter) love the Band and she is 4!!! We took her to her first Kiss concert in March
I was never a big fan of KISS, but they do have quite a few really good songs. Gene Simmons' wife is from my home city, and they regularly visited her parents here. It was not unusual to see the couple at the movie theater, or out and about, they got to live like regular folk here, not worry about being accosted by fans etc. Sadly, her mom passed on in the last year, I dont know if they have any more connections here to come to.
When I was young, this was one of my favourite groups! You expect a certain type of sound from their looks but their songs are really good and they have talent! Thanks for doing this! So glad of your reaction. ;)
I really loved the use of this song in the fight scene in the second season of Umbrella Academy. I never thought of this as a song for a fighting sequence, but it fit so perfectly! I was singing this for days afterward. :)
Saw them June 1979 in Lakeland, FL. This was the same arena Ace Frehley (lead guitar) was almost electrocuted in 1976 during a show. I was 12 years old & my boyfriend's stoner parents actually passed me a joint (I declined.) Totally blew my mind! Both the show & the parents. Memories!
This was my favorite KISS song when I was a kid. I was probably around 8 or 9 when this came out and I loved it! Of course I didn't know what they were singing about at the time, I just loved the beat and the way they sang it. Anyone remember KISS Meets the Phantom on tv?
Just in your own time J, listen to the first 15 songs of KISS Alive II in one sitting, it’s the concert I saw at age 10 in 1978. Best concert, best stage show, best songs INCREDIBLE experience
When this came in the charts (1979)..i was only 12..me and my friends all singing together..this was super super megasong @the time...and everywhere ,in many country's...in all the charts on #1 :)

What i like about the compilation of Kiss is the simplicity of 3 guitars and a drum kit. One of my faves is the acoustic version of SURE KNOW SOMETHING
Kiss has so many awesome songs. Some people have a velvet Elvis picture but we have a velvet Kiss picture hanging on the wall. It has been there for years.
KISS were absolutely huge between 1977 and the early 80s. Their shows were setting the new standard for Rock Arenas:: explosions, fire, rising platforms, the band name in lights spanned fifty feet across the backdrop. Now this stuff is normal. And yes, they were really a pop rock band, writing crowd pleasers and feel-good, four chord arrangements. Some criticized them for being too "corporate", always with a winning market strategy. But, when you revisit them, it's like, damn!! There's another banger. Detroit Rock City still towers above everything else they did, that was the jewel. I highly recommend it.
Kiss Rock Legends👌🎸😎🎶 Love Gun is one of my all time faves of theirs.👌 My dad loved Rock, when he was in his 60's he would listen to Rock, he loved kiss and Acdc.👌😎🎸
They were a band for the times, for sure. My parents would not let me go to their shows, but I did buy a few of their albums. Kiss Alive II, was double lp set and kind of a big deal. I remember it came with a set of temp. tattoos. Beth, Detroit Rock City, RocknRoll All Night played loud at the roller rink. I also remember the big hype build-up to them revealing themselves without the make up. Unmasked, for me, didnt really live up to the hype, but still mad love for this band, as it brings back cherished coming of age memories ❤
Just want to say.....Its great to watch you react to music from our past...... Love to see you enjoying it as much as we did.....You have introduced me to new bands and songs that I've not heard before too......Thanks Jovaughn..... ❤️
had the privilege of watching Kiss in concert (I was 5 years old tho, lol) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on top of my dad's shoulders!! sometime in the 70's...first real childhood memories, the crowd was insane
I was like 8 when I started listening back in the 70's. It's hard to imagine, and I just recently found out Paul Stanley, the lead vocalist is deaf in one ear from a deformed ear and canal, but you'd never know it. Great reaction thank you for doing this!

Ya love ‘me or ya hate ‘me..I’m still deciding! I saw them live with Styx...
second row! 🎸
Regardless of what you think of Kiss...IMO, in his prime, Paul Stanley had one of the best, most powerful voices in rock & roll.
Kelly Schneider
Agreed! Very overlooked yet he sang in Phantom of the Opera!
Yaasss! I preach this regularly.
His voice sounds like he has built in backup vocals
Still does my friend. He played the phantom of the opera!!...the opera bruv!....the opera.
RELEASED IN 1979 70s ROCK
You will NEVER believe that Kiss wrote and Recorded "Beth" one of the best rock love Songs EVER...Check it out
Also Hard Luck Woman!
And Shandy...
Totally agree on that one!
Kiss was the first Rock concert I ever saw. "Beth" and "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night" blew me away!
Best song ever!!! Other than all the other best songs ever, but I love it!!
Back in the seventies, Kiss was huge. Probably second only to Star Wars.

You've got a huge journey of KISS songs to listen to in the future.
For real!!!!
TO-TALY
Considered by many (particularly fans) to be the Kiss "sellout" song, but I always liked it.
In the early 80's it was massive at parties and clubs in Greece. Played to death. No party was complete without Kiss and Joan Jett
Yeah that's why there was such a backlash against Disco. As all these Rock bands began to do disco songs, I think the fans were scared disco was going to take over rock. In my opinion this song and "Beth" were the best songs Kiss ever did.
My favorite song from them!
Sell out or not it's a brilliant tune and sell out means $$$$ anyway so it would be dumb not to try
me too..my older brother was a huge kiss fan and for Halloween he would dress up as Gene, make up, the whole works plus had natural frizzy hair to take his costume over the top lol 😆 Anyways, my understanding is that Paul Stanley wrote this song in a matter of minutes and it actually kept them relevant through the whole Disco era,

This WAS my childhood 🖤 it's a bit soft for their music.
"God gave rock and roll to you", originally by Argent but I prefer the Kiss version. Hold your head up" is a great song by Argent though.
When you mentioned Argent I immediately thought of a lot of songs like Lunatic Fringe, Radar love, turn up the radio
They have so many great songs! They came out when I was in high school! Great beats to dance to!
For me the Petra version is the best.

He would draw all the Kiss members, TO THE TEE; costumes, face paint, those cool crazy boots, ALL OF IT, from head to toe. My point is, does it look like it would be EASY to draw them?! Not at all, NOT AT ALL! Then again, he's left handed, so many left handed ppl draw very well. (automatic cheat) Lol... They actually hav a nice slow ballad called "Beth". It's really good...
This is their "Disco" song. There's a lot of KISS fans that don't like it, but I loved it as a kid and still love it now.
I saw Kiss just last summer, and they have the most fun live show!! The "people-watching" at their show is great too, so many fans dress up like them, faces and everything!! Try listening to Beth, if you're in the mood for their one ballad.
LOVEEEEEEE Your Reaction!! I'm so Glad you got to see it!! I am so EXCITED because i got tickets to their FAREWELL Concert Sept 4, of this year 2021!! I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!
My favourite KISS song. Can’t wait to see them live at Download Festival in June 2021!!
My first love ❤️ in rock and roll, I was part of the KISS ARMY. You should check out Beth, Dr Love, Heavens on Fire, so so many great songs. ❤️ Thanks for reacting to KISS, can’t wait for more.
First concert in 1975 with Cheap Trick. I was all of twelve.
Love Cheap Trick.
My first concert in 1978. I was twelve. Lol! Montreal forum, montreal Canada. My dad lived in a highrise directly across a narrow side street from the Montreal forum building! I had never heard their music and somehow ended up at their concert with my sister and two other teenagers. It was such an amazing concert and show. Every single song was epic. We had seats way up near the sky. but it was inconsequential the energy was throughout the entire venue. Then we saw gene simmons flying by in front of us, on wires or a platform, up close! Lol. Such an amazing time. I'm going to see them on August 29th here in Atlanta georgia. Great tickets for a little more than $100. Prices start at $39 for the back lawn, $89-99 for intermediate sections. And $120-$1000 for the three front sections in front of the stage. Their final tour, and David Lee Roth is also touring with them!
KISS saw them twice in concert... my ears have permanent tinnitus... but that is for all of the concerts I saw. They are amazing!!! The first concert I ever attended. Their alias... Lover, Demon, Alien/Spaceman, Cat. They are very talented.
One of the only Bands in the rock world that you can let your young kids listen too ... very clean lyrics for the most part ...
been a fan since I was 10... introduced my son to them when he was 10 and my grandkids (especially my granddaughter) love the Band and she is 4!!! We took her to her first Kiss concert in March
What a magnificent song its timeless, sounds just as good today if not better than when it was released.. Brilliant
I use to steal my brother kiss records they had one where each one made a solo record it was 4 records in one it was great
I liked Ace Frehley in it
Love KISS, this is an awesome song, thank you for the reaction, always thumbs up
I was never a big fan of KISS, but they do have quite a few really good songs.
Gene Simmons' wife is from my home city, and they regularly visited her parents here. It was not unusual to see the couple at the movie theater, or out and about, they got to live like regular folk here, not worry about being accosted by fans etc.
Sadly, her mom passed on in the last year, I dont know if they have any more connections here to come to.
When I was young, this was one of my favourite groups! You expect a certain type of sound from their looks but their songs are really good and they have talent! Thanks for doing this! So glad of your reaction. ;)
I went to the Kiss concert in 2019 and they can still rock it ! probably one of the most epic concerts I've been too
I really loved the use of this song in the fight scene in the second season of Umbrella Academy. I never thought of this as a song for a fighting sequence, but it fit so perfectly! I was singing this for days afterward. :)
Kiss were special. A real rock and roll band. Awesome singer. The whole package. Great band.
Saw them June 1979 in Lakeland, FL. This was the same arena Ace Frehley (lead guitar) was almost electrocuted in 1976 during a show. I was 12 years old & my boyfriend's stoner parents actually passed me a joint (I declined.) Totally blew my mind! Both the show & the parents. Memories!
I've been fortunate enough to see KISS four times in concert. They've never let me down.
This was my favorite KISS song when I was a kid. I was probably around 8 or 9 when this came out and I loved it! Of course I didn't know what they were singing about at the time, I just loved the beat and the way they sang it. Anyone remember KISS Meets the Phantom on tv?
at 5:11 Gene looks like what an excited puppy dog would be like when he's like "oh you wanna play?!" OK!!!
Was in my recommended and I am glad it was. Really enjoyable vid!
Mary Waid thank you
Just in your own time J, listen to the first 15 songs of KISS Alive II in one sitting, it’s the concert I saw at age 10 in 1978. Best concert, best stage show, best songs INCREDIBLE experience
Kiss: "Forever" is great ballad to listen to.
Rock & roll all night was a big one for them too
When this came in the charts (1979)..i was only 12..me and my friends all singing together..this was super super megasong @the time...and everywhere ,in many country's...in all the charts on #1 :)
You should try there song I love it loud. Come peeps let's rock out with Jay. Gets you moving hey Jay love it. Great reaction. 😀😀💖💙💖

Pam Chilton
I have all the collectible figures performing on their own stage lol!
Oh, hell yes... I'm still a card-carrying member !!! :):):)
You haven't been to a concert until you've been to a KISS concert!!! Best concert ever!!
Love, Love, Love this song! I’m so glad you enjoyed it too!
My All-Time Favorite KISS song!!! It sounds means as they look LOL!!
This song was in the movie "Endless Love" believe it or not. I have the LP Soundtrack for that movie and it's on there.
I'd just like to say, thanks for being so open-minded about the different music genres and for another great reaction!
One of the only Bands in the rock world that you can let your young kids listen too ... very clean lyrics for the most part ...
been a fan since I was 10... introduced my son to them when he was 10 and my grandkids (especially my granddaughter) love the Band and she is 4!!! We took her to her first Kiss concert in March before Covid junk hit
“Fire House” and “Hotter Than Hell” are amazing!
What i like about the compilation of Kiss is the simplicity of 3 guitars and a drum kit. One of my faves is the acoustic version of SURE KNOW SOMETHING
Kiss has so many awesome songs. Some people have a velvet Elvis picture but we have a velvet Kiss picture hanging on the wall. It has been there for years.
"Be your own ears" - Jayveetv August 2020.
That's the festive 8 minutes of MY LIFE!
My favorite KISS song. PERIOD.
KISS were absolutely huge between 1977 and the early 80s. Their shows were setting the new standard for Rock Arenas:: explosions, fire, rising platforms, the band name in lights spanned fifty feet across the backdrop. Now this stuff is normal. And yes, they were really a pop rock band, writing crowd pleasers and feel-good, four chord arrangements. Some criticized them for being too "corporate", always with a winning market strategy. But, when you revisit them, it's like, damn!! There's another banger.
Detroit Rock City still towers above everything else they did, that was the jewel. I highly recommend it.
mid 70s AND EARLY 70s
Loved your reaction and so good to see this song still bringing enjoyment!!👌😊
Kiss Rock Legends👌🎸😎🎶 Love Gun is one of my all time faves of theirs.👌 My dad loved Rock, when he was in his 60's he would listen to Rock, he loved kiss and Acdc.👌😎🎸
Thanks!! Love hearing positive stuff about Kiss, you have tons of other stuff to hear!!
They were a band for the times, for sure. My parents would not let me go to their shows, but I did buy a few of their albums. Kiss Alive II, was double lp set and kind of a big deal. I remember it came with a set of temp. tattoos. Beth, Detroit Rock City, RocknRoll All Night played loud at the roller rink. I also remember the big hype build-up to them revealing themselves without the make up. Unmasked, for me, didnt really live up to the hype, but still mad love for this band, as it brings back cherished coming of age memories ❤
When Kiss ruled the world!
This was my uncle's favorite rock band. I was 5 years old i remember this song. My uncle play his record so many times!
Just want to say.....Its great to watch you react to music from our past...... Love to see you enjoying it as much as we did.....You have introduced me to new bands and songs that I've not heard before too......Thanks Jovaughn..... ❤️
had the privilege of watching Kiss in concert (I was 5 years old tho, lol) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on top of my dad's shoulders!! sometime in the 70's...first real childhood memories, the crowd was insane
Their "Rock and Roll Over" album is what got me hooked on them back in the 1970's! Lots of great songs to react to!
I Love this song and I will be singing this the rest of the day. Thanks!!
And this is why your channel will grow......you love all music!!!
KISS is the reason that I started playing the drums! Check out the KISS song I Love It Loud. Awesome drums in that song!🤘
My cousins favorite group. I think of him everytime I hear KISS!!!💙💙💙💙❤❤❤❤
I was like 8 when I started listening back in the 70's. It's hard to imagine, and I just recently found out Paul Stanley, the lead vocalist is deaf in one ear from a deformed ear and canal, but you'd never know it. Great reaction thank you for doing this!
Literally just tapped until their music today... where have I been in my 32 years of living? 🔥
