It's so funny to me to see these guys all on stage together.. 😂 Kiss look gigantic, larger than life.. and Def Leppard still look like they never left Sheffield, London or Northern Ireland.. Yet, if I hear any of their songs, I will windmill my hair and go nuts !! 😄🤘🤘🤘 Truth is, stage presence is one thing, but music can be enjoyed without any visual at all.. Damn wish I could have seen this tour !! Love them all so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰
We went to this show when it came thru. We NEVER miss a DL show. DL opened for KISS. And BLEW KISS away! I knew they would. KISS was good. But DL? They have the greatest live shows I've ever seen.
Def Leppard dominated over kiss okay that's some funny s*** right there everyone knows kiss is the hottest band in the world and puts on the greatest live show ever
@@grahamfuller5156 if you want to say you like Def Leppard better then kiss than that would be your opinion but I can't think of no one ever saying Def Leppard is a better live band Kiss because kiss reputation is built on being the greatest live rock band ever and that's pretty much everyone's opinion
@@billycain9890 I never said DL was the better live band. I said that they dominated on that tour. I’ve seen both bands multiple times (original KISS lineup as well) and it just so happens that DL out performed KISS when I saw them. Stop twisting what I said and and making a mountain out of a molehill with your online bullshit drama.
I'm taking my son to his 1st concert sept 1st 2021 to see KISS. I'm going to rock out like I was young again. I love the fact my son loves classic ROCK AND ROLL at age 16. I swear they put on one hell of a show.
I Love BOTH of these Bands!!! I got to see Kiss in Concert in 1978, in Des Moines, Iowa, and it was Fantastic! Unfortunantly, I didn't get to see Def Leppard, though☹
Love that Joe, we're not here to impress critics. Yet, unfortunately, that has to include ungrateful "fans" on social media trying to bring band members and actual fans down. This interview is great to see, thanks for posting. And thanks to the bands for touring for the fans!
I have been a Kiss fan since the 70s and first saw them in concert in 1975 when I was 14. I saw these two bands during this tour when they played here in Charlotte. Del Leppard played first and just kicked ass! Musically there are far the superior band. The difference in the playing ability made sitting through the Kiss set difficult. Some bands are just more talented than others. I have seen both bands in concert since and both times realize the difference in quality of their playing ability.
I admire Def Leppard for who they are, nice blokes! But It's always been KISS, for me. Def Leppard just isn't my cup of tea, for me, sorry. But they are a great bunch of guys. God Bless them.
Absolutely on it, normally speaking you’d have 1 unknown band or a band that hasn’t quite made into the spotlight. But this was 2 of the greatest bands in the world. I really don’t think they had any songs that sucked. Maybe a few, but definitely more hits than bad.
It’s not really a contest… compared to album after album of incredibly melodic and layered songs with such complex parts… kiss is a gimmick band - maybe the premiere one of al time… and they have some fine simple anthems… but comparing the two might as well be Mozart vs the Tums and Budweiser commercial jingle.
Personally I think theres very few artists that ever made it from those episodes of American idol that actually made it to the top. I mean I guess Kelly Clarkston? Yeah not to many.

KISS has more #hits than Deaf Leopard also KISS is a popular 70s band and has more similarities with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Thin LiZZy 🤘🏻 KISS & Led Zeppelin are legendary rock bands Deaf Leopard is not KISS decided to wear make up because they want to look bigger than Deaf Leopard 🐆 It should have been Bon Jovi & Def Leppard 🤘🏻
The problem with musicians these days (new ones not these guys) is that they've never had nothing, more often than not, come from something, so they never know what it's like to work hard for next to nothing. And when they do get famous, they only think of what's going to earn money, the next number 1, which audience or demographic to go for. They'll never have the musicianship or magic these guys have because, they're always looking for the next thing like it's a commodity. Maybe if they played with their hearts and minds instead of how big their wallets are or how many likes on Instagram they have, then maybe just then, we'll have some new people who are worth listening to and we won't be just going back to the guys who started with nothing,played what they wanted to play and made our lives better.
Yes!! Def Leppard is my number one band. Love them in concert. Still at 51 I get excited seeing them. Kiss is a great bad too.
I agree…Def Leppard all the way. Cried and lost my shit the first time I saw them.
My 2 favorite bands!

Two of the best band love their songs.
Saw this tour. Def Leppard absolutely dominated.
No way. I will say that because of Pauls voice issues, Kiss wasn't on their A game. Something about that Hysteria album that ruins them for me.
Def Leppard dominated over kiss okay that's some funny s*** right there everyone knows kiss is the hottest band in the world and puts on the greatest live show ever

Fun listening to the banter between Def Leppard and Kiss awesome and very amusing best friends for life
I grew up on def leppard there are my ultimate favorite band of all time the best 🇬🇧 home country boys 🇬🇧

Have fun with the lip syncing kiss who stand still 😅😅
My two fave bands come together.. My dream come true! 👍🤘✌🇺🇲❤
Def Leppard is british

Agreed
You got that right
Yes
I Love BOTH of these Bands!!! I got to see Kiss in Concert in 1978, in Des Moines, Iowa, and it was Fantastic! Unfortunantly, I didn't get to see Def Leppard, though☹
Amo estas bandas. Siempre doy like antes de empezar a ver el video. 👏👏👏👏
Ahora Def Leppard tiene un tour por estadios de EUA, para el 2022, junto a Mötley Crüe, Poison y Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Def Leppard has Great vocals...I'm not so big on most of kiss' songs.
Good thing they put that space between them or else I wouldn't be able to tell the two bands apart
38:59 Wow just imagine all of them played that!
My 2 favorite bands!❤️
GOD BLESS KISS AND DEF LEPPARD AND THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORMS...
Love that Joe, we're not here to impress critics. Yet, unfortunately, that has to include ungrateful "fans" on social media trying to bring band members and actual fans down. This interview is great to see, thanks for posting. And thanks to the bands for touring for the fans!
Paul looks awesome there at 62 years old !!!
Yes he looks really natural doesn't he?
Saw them together. Great show.
I love kiss 70s albums and the first 3 def leppard albums

I’ve never seen them play together but still can Stand behind your comment 110%.
In this "woke" environment It's nice to hear them honoring our military!
Oh my God.... Everybody has to complain about wokeness on every video huh?
It’s trump and his supporters who shit on our military.
Change the record.
Omg get over the military 🙄
"Woke"? more like "broke" those bastards want to cancel anything and everything that hurts their feelings.
I love that Paul gets that dig in at Phil.
Just happened upon this….WOW! very cool interview! And when Gene is in his Demon costume he IS the Demon! I love watching his facial expressions!
Do you
@@diningroomfish5470 I Do
Kiss my best band when child, Def Leppard my best band as an adolecent. The Rasmus my favorite as an adult.
Love Love Def Leppard to death . I grew up on those guy’s!!
Most people went to see Def Leppard
I would have gone to this but the ticket prices were insane.
love kiss gene and paul are funny 😂🤣
I admire Def Leppard for who they are, nice blokes! But It's always been KISS, for me. Def Leppard just isn't my cup of tea, for me, sorry. But they are a great bunch of guys. God Bless them.
Thanks to the military, we are grateful, indebted, and hope the best for you.
Two of the best fucking bands in the world together now how cool is that?
Absolutely on it, normally speaking you’d have 1 unknown band or a band that hasn’t quite made into the spotlight. But this was 2 of the greatest bands in the world. I really don’t think they had any songs that sucked. Maybe a few, but definitely more hits than bad.
Damn sure wish I could have seen this tour! I’ve seen Kiss and they do put on a wild show. But Def Leppard? I’ve never gotten to see them yet.
Rotflmao I love that comment about Gene dropping his wallet
Def Leppard all the way. KISS bite dusts.
Ain't no competition,Everybody loves Kiss,that's automatic
the Godfathers of rock n roll
Def Leppard!!!! I'll take them over Kiss, any time!!
And then you woke up and found out you were dreaming
It’s not really a contest… compared to album after album of incredibly melodic and layered songs with such complex parts… kiss is a gimmick band - maybe the premiere one of al time… and they have some fine simple anthems… but comparing the two might as well be Mozart vs the Tums and Budweiser commercial jingle.
That's right, Gene, it is magic time
Seen this concert in ohio,took step daughter,,and she was very unlucky to get picture with Ace who was there in crowd sitting like 15 seats away
This is the concert I seen
The competition on that stage at the moment is Gene and Paul..
Mi LOVE KISS MI LOVE MI FAVORITE IS KISS I LOVE JAJAJAJAJ
Look for Paul Stanley’s new book dissing Def Leppard.
I was there it was fantastic
The most expensive tour all year maybe. Once in a lifetime tour! At least till the next time they want to tour 60th anniversary. Lol
Couldn't hit his thumbs up enough
Paul dominates the convo but I guess he’s sorta the spokesman
Seen this tour great show
Am I supposed to like this or love this
2 Heavy Weights! More of a Def Leppard fan, but really like Kiss!
19:03 Paul when I designed it comment made me laugh
Personally I think theres very few artists that ever made it from those episodes of American idol that actually made it to the top. I mean I guess Kelly Clarkston? Yeah not to many.
Def Leppard es mejor que kiss......kiss más merchandising.... pero Def Leppard es mejor
Kiss is great too
Get your ears and eyes checked
Kiss and Mötley Crüe can’t bring people in… they need Def Leppard!
we will see on next years stadium tour. they won't be Def Lep with them
GNR is going to play with Crue next year
Def Leppard estás hablando. Kiss los cuatro originales porque ahora tienes dos imitadores😅
This is Gene Simmons
From KISS!
❤❤🤟
did they *really* need the sign above them to show which band was which

Hey look!, Def Leppard and a cover band!!
Brits and American finest
I like and I like
This interview must have been hell for Gene and Paul. All these people talking besides just those two.
My wife and I and my son seen this your in Cincinnati Ohio
How was it? Which band did you enjoy the most? My first big concert experience was Def Leppard in Oct. 1996 Budapest. Never seen Kiss though.
@@jsz2619 kiss Def Leppard was okay seen them in 2014 Cincinnati Ohio. Your from Budapest hungry I'm Hungarian myself
@@scottkovacs7634 I'm Hungarian but my hometown isn't Budapest.
@@jsz2619 what's your home town

Kiss may have started something but Def Leppard finished it off!!! Def is def the better band before they went too poppy.
Where's ace and Peter ace would crack them with his laughing, stoned!
In bed together somewhere.
Everything was cool here except for Paul's costume hole in the chest.
Geez Paul is so damn sexy ❤️
Didn't Kiss just finish their latest farewell tour?
I’m bffs with all of DL and party with them all the time so hard they call all the time vip cast and crew!!!! Hi to Finley joe
Mmmmhhhhmmm me too
Yeeeahh me to they call me everyday! 🙄
KISS actually had their stools further forward on the stage to make them LOOK BIGGER. .... That is so PHUCKING PATHETIC it's not even funny.
So how successful was the tour? How were the ticket sales for it?
They did 63 shows and 51 of those sold out
@@billycain9890 👌
Stanley is so hard to listen to he is so up himself so far that he created his own black hole
Those Lappard guys are so tiny!
Def Leppard is like the sound of one hand clapping, only like it’s drumming and stuff.
Def Leppard
Lol. Tommy and Eric are younger, but not that young.
18:20
I like "Spaceman" and "Catman" sitting there like they were involved in the 70s KIss which Kiss currently bases their tours around. NEW MAKEUP ALREADY
Common connection? 🙄
Bryan Adams! 🇨🇦
He + Jim Vallance wrote with Gene.
BA by way of Mutt Lange for Def Leppard.
🐕
Whats wrong with 1 song on 1 side of an album?.....
Los 4 son los 4 k hablen
KISS has more #hits than Deaf Leopard
also KISS is a popular 70s band
and has more similarities with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Thin LiZZy 🤘🏻
KISS & Led Zeppelin are legendary rock bands
Deaf Leopard is not
KISS decided to wear make up because they want to look bigger than Deaf Leopard 🐆
It should have been Bon Jovi & Def Leppard 🤘🏻
Def Leopard was so good. They needed Tom Cruise singing lead.
I see one arm drummer
Lef leppard de lejos superior mejor que bon Yoby mejor que kiss nunca se van a igualar al sonido que tiene lef leppard
Who the hell is "bon yoby" ??? A latino band???
27:50 except the kiss demon wrestler
Kiss look like alien giants compared to Def Leppard.
9:30
KISS is repulsive as hell. Def Leppard cool band!
If these 2 bands did a concert together, it would be a HUGE sellout concert.
big head kiss small head def leppard
Ahh solo paul habla y gene la cosa no es asi

Wise words
Means more when ya work hard for it, better stories of the memories too
Retirement soon
Kiss was just a gimmick band. They wrote more bad songs then good songs. It was always more about the theatrics then the music.
What a freak show.
