I don't pretend to be the worlds biggest Kiss fan or even a Kiss Army member, so I'm no expert but Paul sings the sing well. It's just that Peter Criss brings something to the song that Paul doesn't. I will always enjoy the Criss version more. Great song
It was interesting to hear Paul do his version of this song, plus it worked really well as a red herring for the eventual reunion tunes later in the show. Most fans had heard rumours Ace and/or Peter would be there, but if Pete didn't come out to sing Hard Luck Woman then I guess he's not in the building? Made the moment of him and Ace actually appearing and doing THAT version of Beth even more impactful in my opinion because they'd done this song earlier in the night as a fake out.
I'm feeling 90s nostalgia tonight and Kiss Unplugged on MTV in 1994 or 95 what ever it was. I remember watching it when it aired and Peter and Ace coming out then them getting back together for a short time
The "grit" in Peter's voice always made this song, Paul's voice is too "clean"..... but it is good, I mean.... how can get mad at KISS if you are a fan?
I give Paul credit for writing it, and lord knows Paul doesn't need his narcissistic sociopath ego complimented, but now to reality, Peter Criss took it and knocked it out of the park!!! Catman is why this masterpiece is remembered!!!
I had never heard this version of this song but I love Peter Criss' vocals on the original but I do have to say (only because I'm partial to Paul Stanley 💜) that Paul's vocals are truly amazing. KISS will bless us with their music for yrs to come. From all generations they will forever be in the hearts of us!
One of my most favourite Kiss songs. I love the original with Peter singing, although I have always thought that Gene would probably also sound good singing this song. But it was a real surprise for me to discover how great Paul was at singing it on the MTV special. Such a shame, and mistake, this song was left off the original CD and DVD releases of Unplugged. Thank goodness for the 'Kissology' DVD release!
I was a kiss freak from 1975 until the early 80s. After Peter and Ace got fired, they weren't the same band. I listen to their old tunes, and that's about it. I really dug the way Peter Criss on this song. Luckily, I still have Kiss Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, rock and roll over and alive 2. I think the first live album was better... I don't know what happened to it, but I wish I still had it, too.
Peter just didn't sing this he made it a masterpiece!!!!! Team Peter and Ace always, Paul wrote it, he should stick to that, because Peter sings everything much better than any other Kiss member!!!!
@@kevinchandler179 yeah, you know why his voice is dubbed in the kiss movie? He couldn't say the word Talisman. Really don't see him remembering the lyrics to any other song but this one
@@kevinchandler179 yes, and his career shows that fact. Not. Kiss used his voice for like 2 songs. As bad as Paul and Gene are, they saved themselves more trouble by ditching those two clowns.
Clowns, you mean legends!!! You are an absolute idiot!!! If wasn't for Peter and Ace winning the jobs after by the way auditioned 40 drummers and guitarists, Paul and Gene would still be living in a scumbag apartment playing with Wicked fuckin Lester!!!! Team Peter and Ace always
Amazing that Kiss is still packing the house after all these years, and still sound as good as it did when it was new! I know a lotta people think Paul is a little conceited, but he has good buisiness sense and there was a few times that if it hadn't been for him, the band would've ended.
I dont know how I'm just discovering this song now. I stumbled on it on Spotify thinking it was a Rod Stewart song. Now I'm listening to it on repeat. Ironically, I love it because it doesn't sound like KISS.
They should've let Peter sing this, especially considering he was there anyway to sing Beth. Paul does a good job, but Peter's voice is much better suited to this kind song. And it makes sense. Paul originally wrote it for Rod Stewart and his raspy voice. Peter's got a raspy voice and he sounds quite similar to Rod when he sings this song
I feel they only did this here to sort of throw the scent off of there being a reunion at the end, the crowd hears Paul singing this and they probably mostly thing "oh shit, so no Peter I guess then..." so when the ending comes they mark out for it big time!
I knew there was a big reunion tour coming because I saw ace and Peter on their club tour and when they both came out to do a mini Kiss concert well I was right after all.
Exactly. I love Kiss. I was at the "Kiss Alive II" show at the Los Angeles Forum in August 1977. I remember older people bagging on me and my friends for liking Kiss, Aerosmith & Angel. Now all my friends have become their parents. Closed minded and actually believing THEIR generation is the only one that did anything significant. The arrogance simultaneously stunning and amusing. Oh and I like Lady Gaga. That's right, I said it. :D
I'm 24 and grew up buying CD's. I refuse to download music it's bullshit. If an artist or band is going to take the time to make an album the least I can do is purchase it on CD or Vinyl.
@@williammartin9432 I have almost all of my CDs uploaded in my computer and synced to my phone. I play everything thru my phone to my radio. I don't have to mess with changing discs in the truck anymore. I like it better that way.
@@williammartin9432 I couldn't even tell you the last time I've even seen a cassette, lol. My first home stereo i had as a kid still had an 8 track deck in it. I had a clunky adapter to use for cassettes.
I recall Garth Brooks and Kiss did a cover of the classic Kiss song on a late night show..Garth nailed the song sure sounds like he was a big Kiss fan when he was younger.
Peter Criss already has gotten plenty of props from these comments so I guess another one won’t hurt. Yeah sure Paul Stanley does a passable rendition, he’s smooth & all that... but... Criss’s raspy voice & his stamp on the song... come on man it’s like everyone’s saying, it’s his song & he was right there on the stage, so imo bad play on the bands part not to have him sing his own damn song. One of the reasons I loved this song so much is that it showed Kiss’ range. Regardless, they are easily one of the greatest rock bands of all, and they hold up to any era. If they came out today with their music materials fresh plus their outfits & stage presence, wow they’d totally kill it & then some 🤩 🎸
Tupy Barjud mais uma vez essa descrição do que eu sou ultimamente me transformei por sua causa que bom apesar que sempre trouxe comigo a vontade de levar coisas boas aos outros
I saw Kiss on their Lick it Up, Animalize and Asylum tours in Austin. Vandenberg / Riot opened on the Lick it Up tour, Queensryche on the Animalize tour and Black and Blue on the Asylum tour. Basically three years in a row. I was 14 when I saw them on the Lick It Up tour.
Wow never heard of KISS before ! This is really a great band ! So weird to hear Cher sing with out auto tune ! She should never changed to singing pop music !
In my opinion, after the original until 1980 and the current formation, it was the best formation without a mask. Paul and Gene were quiet with Bruce on guitar and Eric Singer on drums.
Unplugged was one of the last MTV shows that were great.
This shows just how strong Paul's songwriting is, BUT this is Peter's song vocally.
Wrote it for Rod Stewart.
@@danlewis6591 yeah it’s my fave kiss song, Paul pretty much copped you wear it well by rod for this song
They should have let Eric sing it.
@@danlewis6591 I know. :) Hence why Peter's voive suits it so well.
Paul did a great job , But Criscuola did it well..maybe best in my opinion.
One of my all time favorite KISS songs ...the cat hit a home run on this one but I actually love this version as well
Kissいいね👍！懐かしい歌ですよねー！最高なんだよね。

Kiss é o apice de todas as grandes bandas que eu ja vi em minha vida.
I was expecting to dislike this without Peter's vocals, but Paul does a good job.
Totally agree with you! And he wrote the song, so he deserves the right to sing it!
Paul's the man! This was back when his voice was firing on all cylinders.
The "grit" in Peter's voice always made this song, Paul's voice is too "clean"..... but it is good, I mean.... how can get mad at KISS if you are a fan?
Paul wrote it so he better know how to sing it right lol. I agree Paul does a very good job on it.
Still not Peter, period!!!!
O TEMPO PASSA MAS A SAUDADES É INFINITA E COM CERTEZA ESSA FOI E CONTINUA SENDO A MAIOR BANDA DE ROCK DO PLANETA .
Peter Criss brought this song to life..
Yes he sure did 🌍
Except Paul wrote it.
I give Paul credit for writing it, and lord knows Paul doesn't need his narcissistic sociopath ego complimented, but now to reality, Peter Criss took it and knocked it out of the park!!! Catman is why this masterpiece is remembered!!!
Elvis impersonation to begin the song. Elvis impersonation to end the song. Nailed it.
Sounded more like cartoon Goofy
What a fantastic song and performance. Kiss u forever

RIP Albert!!!! Huge KISS fan he was and we bonded over this band!!!!
Rest in paradise
This song is officially 45 years and 6 months old 🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Holy fuck
Damn I'm old😂
¡WOW! Una de las más bellas rolas del rock..., hice llorar a más de una con esos versos y acordes. 👏👏👏👏
Ascolta la versione originale di Peter allora! Quella è emozione allo stato puro
The recent Kiss tour went too I think every country, massive. That's beyond human.
What a great song!! 🤤😀 Love Paul, he sings so beautifully. 🤗 A Truly Unforgettable Band. 💕
I don't care if Paul Stanley is wearing a wig, great performance by an ordained rock player. Entire band is excellent.
You might be right ha
His voice is awesome. KISS unplugged is still one of my favorite CDs.
Hes got a wig
Paul doesn't wear a wig he has extensions
Wearing a wig is the SHOWBUISNESS 👍♥️🌹💋💋💋💋💋☕🌞
Nunca en la vida voy a entender porque dejaron fuera de la versión oficial del unplugged esta tremenda canción
I love the country vibe of this song.
Garth Brooks does a good cover
The song rights may belong to Paul & Gene but it's not the same without Peter Chris singing.

@@rawbarber9012 he wrote Beth with a friend of his.
Big fax without Peter it ain’t good to me
Супер.
Meravigliosa versione !!!!!
One of their best songs.
*** their best songs
That man is gorgeous with a GORGEOUS VOICE
@Thebearcat66 and you're an idiot
This should have been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show all members of Kiss on the stage at the same time playing even if it was just one song
It doesn't matter the time, somewhere in the world, whatever year it is, some 12 or 13 year old boy will hear this song and his mood will change.
I can see why Garth Brooks covered this...he was country, but he always had one foot in the mainstream....it fits him like a glove...
Yes he and Kiss did a live cover on a talk show man Garth Brooks was a big fan of the band and I'm sure he still is.
I bought Kiss My Ass just for Garth’s version. And you can’t get it on iTunes last time I tried some years back.

Such a great song. Perfect. Gene plays the perfect bass line in this tine. Channeling McCartney

Love you always "KISS"!!!
Melhor acústico de todos os tempos. 🇧🇷 2019
@Maria Heloisa já vi muitos acústicos de várias bandas,mas esse do Kiss é insuperável.!
Peter and Ace made them famous and were the real talent and heart and soul of the original lineup, and don't forget that shit
Gene and Paul treated both ace and Peter like shit.. shame on both of them for the crap they did to both members.
Impresionante. Eternos.
Peter Chris's ragged voice sounds so much better.
This to me was indeed a second coming . Love it . Face it there is only one real Kiss.
Such a fine song and Paul's voice is perfect!
Paul does a good job on this song. But then it's always funny how non kiss fans find their favorites were sang by Peter.
hell yeah!!! my favorite kiss song!!!!
The best. Kiss I love you. tHIS song is for me...
great song well done unplugged awesome
