1976 I was 12 years old and me and my cousins and pals were so into KISS and skateboards. Best summer ever… went out as KISS for last “innocent “ Halloween…
1976 or so, we went to see KISS live in Virginia, seems like a world away - i was a small kid. Stage had 'castle walls in the back, the entire band was on top - lights go out , fire balls exploded and blinded us for a few seconds, long intro then they went into DetroitRockCity and Paul came running down the stairs to sing - man that was one of the most amazing shows ever
Never liked ska before... Nor Kiss... I'm just an old headbanger and singer... But this is becoming one of my favorite bands ever. They are genious. Everything they do is gold
I would give up my firstborn to go back to the 90s! Particularly, the early to mid 90s! I graduated high school in 1991, graduated college in 1996, and had a BLAST during my college years! Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, MTV actually played music videos, and had music shows for every musical taste! If you liked rap, then there was "Yo! MTV Raps." If you liked alternative, there was "120 Minutes." If you liked pop, there was "Dial MTV," which was later changed to "Total Request Live." If you liked metal, there was "Headbanger's Ball." I loved ALL of those shows! Kids today will NEVER understand how great MTV really was! I just want to go back to the 90s, and STAY THERE FOREVER!!
@@kendallthiede373It was truly a great time. Prior to that the world was too conservative, now it's too liberal. The 80's and 90's were the sweet spot, when people were more independent minded and everyone just had a good time without fear of the establishment.
This was a big part of my rotation when I DJ'd college radio in 1994-95. In fact I "borrowed" the tape from the station and forgot to return it. Still have it, it's on the Where'd you Go EP which in cassette form was a bright red cassette tape.
Most people would say: Oh my god at the end Dicky Barrett met Gene Simmons. But I say Oh my god at the end Gene Simmons met Dicky Barrett! I'm so jealous...
Ah! cuantos recuerdos Mighty Mighty, tremenda cancion, y tambien ... tremendo cover, excelente, por un momento ni nos acordamos de kiss, ojo solo por un momento dije, saludos.
To anyone interested (i can't go), Mighty are gonna play in Montebello, Quebec, June 14-15 in the ROCK FEST. Also a lot of amazing bands (Social D, Dropkick Murphys, Rancid, The Offsprings, Rise Against), so, if anyone wants and can go, enjoy it for me :')
To think that this track did not come out on the USA álbum makes fill Lucky 🍀. It would be like a whole different 90s for me...like a parallel universe.
I want to watch you guys so badly! Thinkin about a road trip to MO. Hmmm... Anyone from CO want to join? Please, no crazies. I will have friends with me.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!!A heavily under appreciated '90's band!!LOVE'EM!!
The brass instruments make this song even cooler.
What's the difference between a bull and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? The bull has its horns up front and the asshole in the back.
I love it! They took a classic and made it their own.
The universality of a great song.

I could picture the whole thing, cheers mate! you made me time travel :)
M q. ,d mnn
I Am So Stupid ! saw them in Winnipeg about 20 years after you and they did the same thing! one of the best shows I've ever been to
Saw them in Wilkes-Barre, 1975..They opened for BOC. I was 15....got grounded for 2 weeks, but it was worth it!....lol.
;) Remember this moment if you ever find yourself posting about "stupid kids these days" ;)

One of my favorite songs! Timeless! They killed it! Not much of a Kiss fan but I loved The Bosstones ever since I was 18!
What a time. The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, Ren & Stimpy cartoons, long hair, and muscle cars. Miss those days.

nobody tell him about John K
@@JenX_1973 I wish I could have been born earlier to be a part of that!

@@digitalfootballer9032 My favorite part of the music video was when they were doing graffiti and doing toilet paper.
These 1976 kids are watching TV that shows 1979 KISS . Future world. I didn't know such great TV had existed in 1976. I want one.
Dickie sounds like he gargles lava.
Eats razor blades and glass for breakfast
You should hear when he clears his throat
You're can't go wrong with a KISS song 💪👌🤘❤️
that slap shot shirt, thrasher cap.. man.
Totally awesome! Thrasher indeed!
yep, adding this to a collection of great covers. cheers.
His name is Ban Carr. He is also their Manager. Yes that is his job to dance.
Ben Bosstone!
Love this cover.
And for those ragging on Dicky B, that guy is awesome.
I knew TMMB back in 94,when this popped up on MTV,blew my mind away,this guys are sheer dope!
Awesome version of this awesome tune.
i can't belive these guy were not on the top 100 song of the 1990's
El mejor cover de la historia del Rock!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's better than I thought it would be. I like it.
Love me some BossTones! Never heard or seen this before. Good stuff.
Best cover of Detroit Rock City ever
Listenig to this version, I'm beginning to thik that Dickie is one of Lemmy's illegitimate sons.
Exactly! His voice sounds very much as if he smokes 5 pack of cigs a day - he can easily do some metal/grindcore with that kind of voice.
shawa666 just a Boston hardcore staple.
shawa666 * Dicky
@@IHeartNoise I heard Dickie gargles with razor blades.
Both kick ass and are legends so its possible
Superb version by the mighty mighty bostonnes...
That is one hell of a voice!
With a voice like that, you'd think they'd be better matched for a Motörhead cover... ;)
Woah! We need that😍
Hello to the mighty "D" from Windsor...good times !!
Wow how cool is this, thirty years after the release of this song I find out there's a video clip.
There really aren't any words to describe how much I f*cking LOVE this!!
This is an excellent Kiss cover! Way better than Toad The Wet Sprocket's cover of "Rock And Roll All Nite"!
This was a big part of my rotation when I DJ'd college radio in 1994-95. In fact I "borrowed" the tape from the station and forgot to return it. Still have it, it's on the Where'd you Go EP which in cassette form was a bright red cassette tape.
i have to admit this is one of my favorite music videos...well done story production...great cover
Correction : The title is "Boston Skapunk City."
wouldn't it be Bahstahn Skahpunk City?
Joe Krushelnicki city* would be pronounced as Siddy in this case. You are correct.
One of the best bands ever and so under appreciated its such a shame
One of the best covers ever
That bass is so awesome!!
Saw them do this live at Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit in 1994. Ooooooooooooo!!!!!! I’m big stuffin’…..
Not even a big ska fan, but they NAIL this cover and do it better than the original in my opinion
Dicky was totally into the spirit of ska punk rock in this number!
The bass Line is outa this world!
You can thank Mr. Joe Gittelman aka The Bass Fiddleman for that!
Detroit approved!!!
This is the kind of music I grew up on. It was a magical time when I was 4.
German Autobahn and this song go well together, I tell you that!
2022 still jamming this cover. Almost better then the original.
Most people would say: Oh my god at the end Dicky Barrett met Gene Simmons. But I say Oh my god at the end Gene Simmons met Dicky Barrett! I'm so jealous...
I remember watching this in 03 when i was ib 3rd grade think how bad ass the bosstones were little did i know
Great group and this kicks it.
Def a great cover. Thumbs up if you were a member of the KISS Army.
Awesome song, awesome cover.
At their next show in L.A. KISS needs to have this guys play w/ them on stage!!
Fuckin nailed it. This is THE ONLY version of Detroit rock city as far as I'm concerned.
Tihs is the BEST of both worlds! Smoking!
Listening to this guy sing keeps making me want to clear my throat.
Awesome cover.
It’s a long way to the top
I think I like it better than the original!
Very interesting take on Ace's guitar solo...
foooodddddaaa rolava nos bons tempos da mtv
this is the most 2000s thing ive seen all day
Would you believe this is from 1994?
Excellent Top shelf 👌 -
Finally a Kiss song that doesn't suck!!!
Such a great cover, that's the impression that I get 🙂
I can’t tell if you’re such a red neck or just a huge pot head.

October 31, 1976... exactly 10 years before I was born and I am just finding these guys out tonight
+Ian Jamelske 76 was when the original was releases. This cover is from the early 90's.

Are you on drugs?
@@Hawkeyes2017 always.
Amazing!
This was pretty damn cool!
I like how green-haired guy's job in the band is headbanging lol
The toaster
Me too! I wish I had green hair like that. 😍
he's the manager and has been dancer for all these decades
@@CSM100MK2 Really? I didn't know that!
Ben Carr?
he's the most important member of the band.
best cover ever
Great cover.

Still have their first album. Along with Double Platinum, Rock and Roll Over and Destroyer.
Slapshot shirt!
Que buena version , nada que envidiarle a la original !!!!!
For a while I thought the Bosstones were a death metal band because this was the only song of theirs I'd heard.
The singer could play the joker sooo easily.
Woooooooooow !!!
Nice
green-haired Tom Sizemore looks very authentic in this one..
HELL FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! should have been on the soundtrack!
Un grupo importante para mí buenos conciertos
Os melhores do SKA sem sombra de duvida são os bosstones e o reel big fish
Im loosing my mind listening to this song.. all 4 da right reasons hahahaha
Dat Bass
