Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
I must say, I basically forgotten about this song and I enjoyed hearing it again. Not a masterpiece but so what. Some nice chord progressions and his voice fit well. A lot better than many of those teenage songs written around their curiosities of sex. Tacky as hell. ( Maybe due to the fact that I haven't been a teenager since the late '70's. Lol )
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
Was thinking the same listening here, the similarities of Peter and Rod Stewart. Wasn't listening too closely but seemed also to have very similar chord progressions as maybe Maggie May..???...
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤
I always felt so sorry for Ace and Peter. Their have fun additude. A free spirit. I almost died several times between 1976 and 1978. But, I had so many great experiences's and meet so many interesting people, from the most famous, to the people who you never ever heard of. And, I was so much impressed with the skills that they use to not only to servive, be
Peter (and KISS) were helped by the fact that Rod Stewart was at his absolute peak when 'Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman" were released, so they fit right into the Top 40 playlists sounding so much like Stewart's style.
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
Peter was always the best dressed/the coolest looking guy in KISS! Peter looked like A STAR! I ❤ the voices of Peter Criss & Rod Stewart. Peter's voice is a little deeper, stronger & raspier than Rod's. Peter's cool, natural silver/grey, Italian curls & Rod's British, "pineapple"/"rooster"/ "shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
Pues tiene la voz parecida A Jhon Fogerty pero Fogerty 1000 veces mejor para mi es el mejor vocalista junto von Paul Stanley q tb muy do de pecho pero dulce que la hace q me guste más q Fogerty. Peter tb me gusta du voz esq me gustan muchísimos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Back in the day, I thought this was the same guy that sang the song “Stumbling In” with Suzi Quatro… when somebody finally told me this was a Kiss song, I really thought they were full of it, lol… Peter Criss had a neat voice, it’s too bad they didn’t let him sing more songs…
So paul wrote it for rod stewart but decided to have peter sing it. And sing it he did. Peter has always been my favorite. Just saw them in baltimore 3rd from last show they were great took my 5 year old grand daughter who loves kiss. That is full circle.
If Paul and Gene had just compassion to keep Peter and Ace in the band and have them go into rehab sooner and they would have probably all had profited much better as a band.
I’m absolutely in love with the way he jerks his head back and forth with the beat. Idc how old he is, I’ll always love this man. 🫠🫠🫠🫠❤❤❤❤❤
I love him ( Peter Criss ) is so cute ❤
It's called "head bangin".
He's 78 years old.
Peter Criss is both a great drummer and his voice is so cool. A real rocker. Important part of KISS original sound, both the drumming groove and the voice.
Most underrated song from its period. Truly classic awesome song from start to finish.
It was the hit of that album.
@@jacquesfinster5034 People don't know what underrated means. :) This wasn't underrated at all.

For whatever reason, they never played it live back then. The version from Alive II was done at a soundcheck.
Agree!
Nothing beats the original Catman!!! 🐱⚡️
I really like Eric Carr but Peter Criss was best. Original.
@@dennisb-trains23Eric was my first tattoo ❤ I have his japonese signal on my wrist
@@dennisb-trains23I love Eric too, but Peter was great!
Laviano is the greatest Catman! Anyone who says different is making a fool of themselves.
@@cooltunes708 might want to pull your head back out of your ass......Peter was the best
I saw them in 77 at MSG. This is so classic and brings back great memories of a great time.
Friday night, February 18!
@@johnnylombardi8384my first concert
Awesome! Thank you, Peter!
The Catman and Rod Stewart are definitely brothers from another mother.
Paul actually did write the song for Rod Stewart, he turned it down. So, because they already had a hit with Beth, they let Peter sing lead. Another top 30 hit for Kiss
He sounds much better than odd Stewart
An absolute classic and Ace and Peter still play it together now
I saw a vídeo of them performing this together recently ❤
I love this video, long live ORIGINAL KISS!!
👍
Sounds like he was singing it for wife Debra...married 1979 ?
Love catman, that gritty voice gets me everytime
One of the best Songs of all Time! Peter rocks! ♥
Peter was a star, voice, charm, charisma, stage presence.
It's incredible that Paul who wrote the song let Peter sing it considering all the friction between Paul & Peter.
That is interesting...Paul could have done the vocals...Not as well, though.
You bet not as well, he has sung it in concert…Peter’s voice is really nice, raspy and sweet!! Love Ace & Peter!
I tend to think its because Petes voice is really similar to Rod Stewart and Rod was pretty big back then.
Paul knew Peter had the voice for the song just like he knew god of thunder was perfect for Gene.
Was thinking the same listening here, the similarities of Peter and Rod Stewart. Wasn't listening too closely but seemed also to have very similar chord progressions as maybe Maggie May..???...
Peter Criss is always a man he knew how to entertain us Peter Chris you live forever yes you will
I love this song always have and always will ❤ Peter sings it fabulously
Peter has a good raspy tone ! Underrated gem
"Gem" may be pushing it lol
I love his husky voice!
I agree his voice-the best of all.
Peter Criss sings better then all the other kiss members..
He does. Just heard him sing this from this year. Sounds like he did 45 years ago.
Ace is 2nd best.
Exactly, by far 👏!!! He has a amazing voice, soulful and powerful!!!
That’s why gene and Paul outed him , they were jealous, that’s my opinion and of Ace too , now their singing to recorded tracks 😮
Truth
The best kiss singer
I could listen to this song and nothing to lose all day long.
These are the type of Kiss’ songs I love. The slow and melodic ones. They had a knack for this type of songs.
Still love this song
He sang well for a Kitty Cat! 🐱 🐈 . It’s not just the usual Meows! 😂They rewarded him with a Saucer of Milk! 🤣
After the success of Beth, I guess that Paul wrote it with Rod Stewart in mind and offered it to him, but Rod turned it down so Paul gave it to Peter because he always thought that Peter sounded very similar to Rod, which is true
This is the only KISS song I love!
Gran Peter Criss. Yo cuando los conocí, con 15 años, me impresionaron. Lo pase mal cuando se separaron. Pero larga vida a KISS.🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I see the first time that dramming with singing . This is one of the great hit songs in KISS and rare video clip.
Always love Peter Criss, and his performance,😊😊
Kiss Axel
Siiii
Se imaginan a esa monstruosa banda de hard rock con su música potente y le salen a sus fans con hard luck woman y Beth, eso si el experimento salió muy bien ganaron adeptos y la creación de las monster ballads, que tanto nos gustan
One of my favorite KISS songs
He can play drums and sing at the same time!
O. WOW.!!!!!!!!!¡ PURE CORN EATER 🌽
I hate to tell you but there are a lot of musicians who can play drums and sing simultaneously. Don Henley Dave grohl Levon Helm etc
That's such a beautiful song.
I used to hear this on the radio all the time and never had any idea it was KISS. It sounds more like a Rod Stewart song or something.
Great hair!
I was just thinking exactly that
Magic
Brilliant
Just love this song ❤️
KISS will always be Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter...and no others!🎼🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🥁
I totally agree,Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer didn't create the cat and spaceman characters,Peter and Ace did.
Same here brother! The memories these guys gave me as a teen growing up.......man, I miss 'em!
I was 8 years old in 1977 ( turned 9 late ) and a member of the KISS Army thanks to my older brother who was 13.
Una balada muy al estilo de Peter Criss exelente canción y el video muy de los 70s
One of my favorite Kiss songs!
Peter Cris e sua voz rouca e linda!!!!!❤❤❤❤
My most favorite KISS tune. Second favorite... shout it out loud. Alive II.
Muita saudade desta época onde o Kiss tinha tanta força, porém ainda tem renome na fama.
Happy birthday Peter. Too bad Gene and Paul give you lots of hard luck.
Now this Mr Peter badass Cat Criss no one absolutely no one can compare to u Brother
I remember that song is incredible
Love this song and takes me so far away. Amazing that Paul Stanley actually deflated himself snd wrote something less pompous than is his want. Bravo and to peter for taking the shit when this tune actually was one of his most beautiful contributions to kiss.
He's one talented "Cat!"
lol. I had a cat ("Josie") who could have pulled this off.
Que perron canta,nunca lo habia escuchado!!!aunque me fascina la voz de mi amorsote Stanley Bert Eisen,osea Paul Stanley!!!
Memories of a ten year old me grabbing two pencils and doing my Criss impression to this tune..
Love this song
It ain’t KISS without Peter and Ace
KISS is KISS with or without them.
@@quentinwade8506 if that's so then it could be kiss without gene and paul
Peter and Ace were Kiss, don't kid yourself!!!!!
Полностью согласен
They can call it whatever they want, but without Ace and Peter, I'm not listening.
Always have love this song. I love the way Peter sings it. But paul can sing it to
Сильнейшие рокеры суперская группа рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Peter had One Of The Best Songs of the Band
Peter did a great job on this song and Beth this song beat is a lot like Maggie May
Paul Stanley wrote it in hopes Rod Stewart would record it. Glad he didn't.
Funny how pauls playing lead and ace is playing rhythm.
love how ace and Paul share that double neck. Wonder where that guit is today?
Its funny that the best singer in Kiss wasn't even considered the lead singer
Bill Acouin , their manager, he probably sold it among other items to feed his cocaine habit.
Favorite Kiss song is Love Gun, second is Hard Luck Woman.
I was a kid watching this on tv when it aired... my older brother came in...he didn't hate Kiss ... but didn't get them either...he looked at Ace behind Paul both playing the same guitar and said "Look ... they're buttfucking"...i got mad ...but i knew he was just trying to mess with me because i loved Kiss...he took me to see them in August '76 at Anaheim stadium...i miss you old brother ❤
Man...i love this song. I glad Rod Stewart didn't want this song! But a i like Rod to...
My Favorite kiss song ever!
Best Video ever 🥁🤘
Ya know it's funny....Paul and Gene are the front men yet I love to listen to Peter sing more than BOTH of them combined
This came out right after my daughter was born 🎉🎉🎉
Comme j aime cette chanson 🥰😌🥰🇫🇷🙏🎵🎵🎵💐
He is so cute in his makeup
Are most people? Lol
This takes me back ❤
A música do Kiss mais linda 😍😍😍😍
Verdade
Luv it reminds me of my childhood - Nener never land - A world away
Amen Jim!

Written by Paul to pitch to Rod Stewart, Rod snubbed it (as he ALREADY recorded “ Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”), and the rest is KISStory!..
Peter and Ace should have sung most of Kiss's songs.
Tu est un grand percussionniste et tu chantes si etic❤🎉
This is the real KISS
If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first Hello
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you Hard Luck Woman
You ain't a Hard Luck Woman
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Before I go let me Kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you Hard Luck Woman
You ain't a Hard Luck Woman
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman
Baby, till you find your man
Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags, whoo, leavin' you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
Bye, bye my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh

Song reminds me of a You Wear It Well vibe by Rod Stewart.
That's an excellent comparison, I love both songs, I never thought of that, Peter Criss and Rod Stewart have those iconic scratchy voices along with Bob Seger and Bryan Adams.
My opinion he had the best of kiss 😘

"shaggy" hair are the two best rock haircuts of the 70's. I ❤ both "Atlantic Crossing" & "RARO".
Best shag haircut on PC...love it 🌟
nunca escuche una voz mas genial

I saw them in February of 77 at the Garden hoping they would do the song. No such luck.
That was so good😁
Best Rock voice in the the Band really sad to see him shit on by the other members and his contributions down played
Uff Excelente
Good tune 👌
This song is the same year I was born I love it😊
The golden age of Kiss! Back when they had superhero status...
Back in the day, I thought this was the same guy that sang the song “Stumbling In” with Suzi Quatro… when somebody finally told me this was a Kiss song, I really thought they were full of it, lol… Peter Criss had a neat voice, it’s too bad they didn’t let him sing more songs…
Great song & video
Awesome song 😊
First the Faces, then KISS. You rock Rod!😏
Awsome Song
Best Kiss song ever!!!!!❤
When I play my guitar 🎸 it's takes a while to get my feelings back to my hands
I love this song so much 😸
So paul wrote it for rod stewart but decided to have peter sing it. And sing it he did. Peter has always been my favorite. Just saw them in baltimore 3rd from last show they were great took my 5 year old grand daughter who loves kiss. That is full circle.
