When I first saw this band in concert in 1974, when I was 16 years old, I damn sure did not expect that they would be around 47 years later. Love 'em or hate 'em you have to tip your hat to their longevity.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
48 actually!
@@vinylman6580 True. I am getting so old I cannot add properly. 🙂 And these guys are still out there.
@@kenarms4364 what is add Ken?
I got to see the Rolling Stones about 15 to 20 years ago and they packed out the gator bowl in Jacksonville Florida. You would think kiss would pack out a stadium as well.
Every time one of those pics goes flying, Gene’s counting in his head... “... that’s a nickel. That’s a nickel... another nickel... “
OY!
Gene and Paul actually invented copper wire after finding the same penny.
Ain't THAT the truth!!!
Lmao!!!
For sure
Paul did the same to me in 1996. i was front row. he saw my KISS tattoos. i read his lips..he pointed at my arm and he said i love it! gave me a thumbs up and proceeded to fling about 10 picks at me. he is dead accurate. i caught 6 or 7 of them. the crowd was going insane. everyone was scrambling for them
That flippin ROCKS bro..!
Was that you! No pick... just elbowed to my eye, the agony was gorgeous.
I picked an Ace Frehley pick off the floor at Maple Leaf Gardens....I gave it to my KISS fanatic buddy....
@@daveduncan9034 I remember that... I tried for that pick and someone stepped on my hand.
Surprised he didn’t ask for the tattoo artists contact info so he could get some of the money you paid for it.

Esa son todas las canciones???
Thanks is going blind a
Cover of the Melvins?
@@isaiahneilguitaristofficia549 No, it's their own song.
Gene still has a strong voice at 73
Yeah - vocally Gene has carried Kiss for a decade or so. The number of his songs has constantly crept up. Paul's voice just could not last a full show.
Paul truly loves what he does - a true showman!
He loves teenage boys also..
@@kskip4242 ?
@@samwall8828 I used to work security at a mall in West County St Louis and Paul used to come in with his artwork at the art fairs and me and another security officer caught him in a staircase on an upper level parking garage with a teenage boy from Hot Topic..
@@kskip4242 why hasn’t that story made the news?
@@samwall8828 I mean it's pretty self-explanatory Paul's is obviously pretty damn careful I guess in what he does I guess it was just one of those coincidences that we shouldn't have came across lol. I mean if you've ever met him in person and talk to him at all it's quite clear he's not perfectly straight. I mean it's literally one of those incidences that only a security person would come across anyways literally nobody hardly ever goes to those upper levels of them all except during Christmas time.
Gene's voice still souding badass after those years, nice to see Paul recovering his voice too.
gene needs to eat a carrot and lay off the bagels
pauls voice recovering? Are you serious? His yodeling is an assault on the ears!
@@maureendillon3734 no he's actually slim, but he was cold and he's wearing 20 layers of clothing under the robe
@@podoz If you listen Kiss in 2020 then now i think you will agree with me, at that year songs like Paul sings here are harder to him sing than now.
@@luzimarferreira2000 yea the 2 years off has helped his voice, it's not close to 90s Paul but it is better.
My favorite part was Gene saying he was coloring his hair and that's why he's in a robe, then Stanley cuts him off lolol
Gene Simmons has been coloring his hair for years because his hair isn't black it's a brown if you remember the show family jewels he used to always go get his hair dyed before he went on tour
Gotta Trump tan 😆
Gotta refresh the racoon on his head.
I assumed at this point he just wore a wig
@@DaveRichardsonFitness
Me too. If not, he's got a crazy thick Jewfro for his age.
Probably the ultimate experience for a die hard Kiss fan! Really enjoyed this!
I found this as enjoyable as the last show I saw them play.
These boys should have traveled to the south a little bit more
.Do you think save on face paint.
Yep! It would've been 1000 times better without the Nazi scum spewing hate at Gene!(you KNOW who I mean people!)
@@je8757:the face paint is part of the show!🙃
I’m sure they paid damn good money to be there!
This band has been around since the 70's and now they are in their 70's. Beautiful thing about rock and roll is that you would never know it.
So in 50 years they never grew or evolved. Pathetic. 😔
Listening to Paul sing "got to choose" you can absolutely tell how old he is
Only 2 of the original members.
This is really very nice to see and hear. How I wish Ace and Peter were there too. KISS was such a major part of my childhood. I mean like, a major part. I got through some very hard and lonely times with them.
Thank you KISS
Me to! I spent so much time in my room listening to their albums and imagining how they must look live as I listened to Alive! SO f ing cool now being able to Google their concerts and stuff like this. If I were to meet them I would tell them just what you said. They were there in my life through some of my hard, and lonely teenage years. And still at times to this day! I Love em. They're like family. Paul has always been my fav. He is so genuine. Just a great person and it makes me sad that his voice has been going out but hell he is 70!! He is my hero.
Thinking the same about Ace and Peter. To me the Band isn't ever the best without the originals!
One of the best rock n roll bands EVER!! Long live 70's & 80's rock !!
Seen these guys 7 times and I've always said if you haven't been to a kiss concert you need to go. It's just a great show with all the stage effects and the bombs going off all the way down to gene solo spit up blood and blowing his fire 20 foot long... Lol. The makeup was big AND THE PETER CHRIS. DRUM SOLO.. LEGENDARY TO THE Destroyer ALBUM. 100.000. YEARS one of the best drum solos every as far as I concerned.. Paul Stanley is a great performer. Ace freely unique style of playing lead guitar.. this is all new songs their playing and that is cool.. I really think they should consider bringing in different type instruments to help promote their new album and new sound and band members. Just alittle to much like thier music from back. In the eighty's. As for what I would think is the best reunion tour would be a different sound and add maybe key board ...and a SAXOPHONE 🎷. That's the way I would think it be a great reunion of the kiss band.. they would sound a bit different but better over all sound... But never the less Rock on kiss. And thanks for all the great memories in my time of rock concerts. And I'm still playing guitar and I'm now a blues and rock.. with a lot of FUNK... LOL. THATS FACTS..
@@jamesstackhouse5953 esses caras pode ser seus heróis más aqui no Brasil eles são apenas posers jkkkk
You aren't lièing!
Thanks Mike for the share. My wife had an emergency hospitalization and I was unable to see them in Dayton. This was so awesome. Felt like I was a VIP for 30+ minutes! Lifted my spirits while being by her side. It's not a KISS song, but actually Foghat. "When I was stone blue, rock and roll got me through"
I’m glad this was able to help in a small way. I hope your wife is doing okay.
Foghat: 1978!
Hope your wife is doing on leo..I live in vegas last 8 years..where their foin this souncheck..I did so many shows their..Meadows smphyhestre use to call it..in hRtford. T. Where I was born..great venue.
Try Jesus!! Is 1000% better,!!
I like this better then the whole show. This is like a real band and they sound great
Than not then
I was in the front, right at the stage in Roanoke Va in 1977. I got Gene’s blood on my shirt when he did God of Thunder. Got a rose from Peter when he sang Beth. My ticket cost $7.50, and the tee shirts were $5. Now 45 years later, I remember it like it was yesterday 🤘
This has got to be the BEST Q&A I have ever seen with ANY BAND EVER ! ! ! In fact This Q&A was better then alot of concerts I have been too.... I am Speechless.. Thank you for posting this MR Mike Brunn !!!
Not even a big kiss fan but in fairness this sounds good. Stanley in his day was one of the best singers and front men. They deserve respect to be still performing in there 70s. Singer is a good drummer.
Paul's voice has gone it's pretty bad, live they use a click track. Hotter than Hell is one of the ones he can barely sing. They should come clean.
Drummer is a good singer*
@@davidpearson6346 yes they do. They allow for timing to bring the recording and lip synching in. Do some research on YT and you will hear the tracks used.
@Necramonium the point is full disclosure. Admit to miming and the people know, don't lie. In answer to your question some people do care at 100 dollars a show. It is a personal choice some will be happy others won't.
I was sacred to click on this. Glad I did. They sound GREAT! Metallica killing it in SA. Maiden. Old dudez still got their chops.
Man! All these guys look amazing for their ages. Tommy looks ridiculously great for 60+. KISS RULES!
he's gorgeous
Yeah!! With all their money and plastic surgery, Anyone would look good!! haha!!!
Gene too? Are you making a joke pal?
@@MichaelGiordano777 especially Gene! Dude most 73 year olds are either dead or sitting in their shit in a nursing home. Gene is still rocking on stage in full gear.
Thank you for sharing your special time spent with 2 of the true Rock God's. From grade school to today. I'm 55. They are in their 70's . And we are so blessed to have seen it all. Rock on 🤘
Kissrocks. They know about rocking, they are the most amazing rock group ever.
Thanks for sharing! Paul looks 1/2 his age, and the way he and Gene joke and get along is great to see.
Wow, really awesome video,
Both Paul and Gene can still sing!
Thanks Mike. I'm a crew bus driver and am sleeping when all this is going on. Glad I could watch your video
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff, and thanks for all you do to help put on the greatest concert on earth!
Keep up the good work. Much safe travels to you transporting whoever in KISS in your bus. :)
Thanks for all your hard work. Much respect
Oh man, I love these clips! The band in its most stripped down, raw, unpretentious, and funny form. Grew up on KISS. First concert I ever attended was 1989, Hot in the Shade tour. I was a high school freshman, and my friend's dad drove us to Giants Stadium to see them. What a show, what an influence! I took up playing the guitar in 1990, and never stopped rocking since!
Saw them in 74, at the start. They were incredible.
That was my first KISS concert too!
@@seanpearl8156 my first concert too, Saw them '77 at Madison square garden, New york! Good times! Seen them 10 times all together!
@@marcabbink2772 Wow you saw them during the "peak" years! What a privilege!
Kiss have been all over the place with quality and output, but they have a killer batch of songs and i was so glad to see them for the first time a couple of years ago, and even though i was unsure what to expect, it was an amazing show.
Never seen a unhappy person leaving a Kiss concert
No but you'll see dead ones if they listen to pos gene and go get they're 66 booster 🖤
Ibanez "Iceman". What a beautiful guitar.
"We're going to do here what we always do. Fake play and lip synch"
Paul Stanley at sound check. Classic.
No Paul, you are playing for real and lip synching ;)
At least he's not masked up
True story.
Throwing shade at the haters I love it
Doesn’t take much these days 😂
Wow! These guys are still singing, playing, and looking terrific!
But clearly 'virus' whipped... lol
I'm so impressed with gens vocal on 3rd song. Paul sounds excellent as well!
Go to listen indie!!
Great to see🐯🔥🎸*
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Oh shut up
Tommy is probably the most valuable member of KISS ! He's done so much for that band and hasn't sought the limelight like so many before !
Btw He's quite an accomplished player !!!
Only probably is that his body does not look healthy. He needs to take better care of himself.
What classics did tommy write?
Man, I never thought these guys would get old, of course I never thought I would either.
Been with them since the late 70's.
They're only old in body, less so in spirit. ^^
I can't believe this was shot 5 days ago and not 20 years ago, they genuinely look and sound great. I've heard so many bands over the years, from all over the world, but KISS truly deserve the legends tag. Peace
Gene sounds great, Paul’s voice is shot but still love them both! Eric is tolerable but I would throw Thayer off of the stage if I could.
Been Kiss fan since 1982. Paul & Gene are undoubtedly awesome. Love ❤ from Russia.
@@Duski67 why do that to Tommy? He is great live!
Look great?
I give them great credit... they're an AMERICAN INSTITUTION....MADE INT U.S.A ! Was never much of a fan... but great respect for them& their music. Everyone can't be VH or acdc.... or KISS. They're each their own unique entity with no equals, whose music & LIVE CONCERTS will remain for all time.
Say what you want about Gene, his voice is still in fine shape.
EXACTLY 😎👍🏻.... where are those idiotic naysayers 🙄
Voice good... but he really needs to lay off those Twinkies :)
@@onefatstratcat 😂
I like this because anytime I want to hear KISS icon always go back and play this back , I had every album that they made until my sister sold them all in a yard sale 😡 but I have forgiven her 😃 not one scratch on any of them and the album covers were in great condition 😭 I will always be a big fan !!!❤❤❤❤
Paul, you are the MAN!!! Thank you for the depression speech. I am a Combat Veteran, active duty Veteran. I have a lot of DEMON$
Great video shows they’ve still got it loved Paul joking about the lip syncing and Kiss coming out, but Let Me Know and Two Timer, Burn Bitch Burn, Hell to Hold you wow, damn we need more of this KISS.
wheres burn bitch burn?? i cant find it!
Thanks for posting. Love these songs. What fun. KISS means so much to so many people.
I wish you got more of this Paul during the Kiss shows. Conversational in his normal tone. It's more real.
I still have the KISS dolls from the 70's unopened that my parents got for for Christmas....the next year my mom took me to see them in Buffalo NY......I'm 50 now KISS ARMY 4LIFE!! 🍻😜👍
They are and always will be one of the biggest rock and roll bands of all time I seen their first show without makeup and coincidentally it was my first rock concert greatest show I ever seen it changed my life you got to give it to them still rocking and rolling all night and party everyday forever a member 🤘 KISS army
Love Kiss,I miss the original members of course because that's who I listened to as a teenager. Im 60 now and still a fan haven't seen them in awhile unfortunately. I do miss Eric Carr❤
We ALL miss Eric ! !
ur right the KISS we grew up on was magical
Just rocked Milwaukee hard Kiss rulzs my world flew in from LA for the show
Gene's voice continues to improve with age. Thanks for the share!
👏🏻GREAT
My very first concert was KISS at Madison Square Garden, December 15, 1977 🎸
Man, I wasnt even born at the time and Im 39 already. Mind blowing.
Holy Shit I was at that show, my uncle took me, I was 11. Love KISS..!!
Id love to chat with you , that was my first Kiss concert too . I was 7 ..we had 8th row that night ...We were from montclair Nj , i still remember that night , like it was yesterday
Olympia Stadium. Detroit. January, 1978.
I was there too, great three sold out nights!
MR PAUL that was great you told people to reach out that have trouble! note i went to your concert in the 70s in Duluth MN and i think your guys almost burned the place down flames were to the sealing:)
Kiss was the only band that I played over and over again as a kid. I just couldn't get enough! They've been my go to band for over 40 years.
Yep.......chicken salad roast beef 😁
This is so cool! Thank you Mike, you are the greatest! 🤘
It's good to hear the old songs like Plaster Caster etc...I love it, the atmosphere is calm, I didn't know that in France at the time. It will remain a unique band in the world.🤸
thank you Ace, Peter, Paul, Gene, Eric Carr, Vinnie, Mark, Bruce and Eric Singer. kiss was the soundtrack to my youth. thank you KISS ⚡👹🐱😘
No Tommy :( lol
@@DaveRichardsonFitness No !
@@jimsinister13 yea f### that hack
@@DaveRichardsonFitness No Fake Frehley
@@coldwarrior4950 What a stupid comment.
Their concerts always display what great showmen they are, but these soundchecks remind us what a great band KISS is. Just four musicians on a stage delivering terrific music. I also love seeing what good friends they are, and decent people. Thank you for posting this video.
Not the same without Criss and Ace.
Amen

Seen these guys 5 times and they were great entertainers every time.
Love ‘em
My god! Crazy Night was my first song to introduced me with rock / metal music in early 90's 🤩🤘
The sound on this recording as awesome. One of my favorites has always been "Plaster Caster" because of the riff. But Gene sing it so well. This is one of the best live versions I ever heard.
These guys change my life. Wil always support them as long as they want to play.
I grew up with them in the 70s I didn’t get to see them until 2009. It was what I always expected awesome show I would like to see him one more time if I could
Awesome...Thanks for this gem🤘🏻😎🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you mike.im home watching this.taking care of my wife.she had a stroke.and I can't make the shows.but you get me there through your videos.your the man.
I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Saw em for the first time ever in 2019. I avoided it my whole life because i always saw videos and thought they were either playing to tracks or not giving it their all. Ill tell you what, i left that show with such a great appreciation for what these guys do. It changed my opinion totally. Probably the best concert of my life next to Rush. Im glad i can now tell my son ive seen kiss live after they’ve been retired. Congrats on almost 50 years Paul and Gene.
Gene’s voice is still really solid, unlike most of the singers from that era.
Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung, and a handful of others from the 70's still sound great.
Like Vince Neil just sound terrible now. It's quite sad.
@@actarus8564 David Lee Roth.
@@tylermorrison7051 I disagree with that Just because David lee Roth could never sing. I think he is better now than in the 80-s because he is actually trying.
@@tylermorrison7051 I'll help add to the list, Glen Hughes, Tom Johnston (Doobie Brothers), Robin Zander (Cheap trick)Trick, Steven Tyler, Derek St. HOLMES (TED Nugent Band), Paul Rogers, (BAd Company), Alice Cooper, Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and so on, The list is based off of almost or over 70 years old.
I really would like to add Sammy Hagar. However, he still has wonderful tone but uses soooooooooo much audience participation, I wonder if he can bring it without. In other words is he not in condition? Another honorable mention is Joe Lynn Turner. Has lost very little. Take care!
I saw these guys the first time July 4, 1975 at Florida Jam. It was my first concert. We were all much younger. I was from $hit kick CA and hadn’t even heard of them, and Gene blew my mind!
You got me beat. Inthink it was November of ‘75 when I saw them at the Omni (now only a memory) in Atlanta. The LP Kiss Alive had just come out.
Back in those days Gene was skinny as a rail.
Without Peter and Ace they are no longer Kiss in my book. Now they are Kiss light plus two guys.
I first saw them in 1977 at Madison square garden New York! My first concert!
@@marcabbink2772 Their '75 show in Atlanta was my first concert. I loved it. For years I was a huge KISS fan.
This really is great fun, & brings an earthy perspective to all the guys. Love their respect for the serving members . Good luck to all. Seeing them twice In Australia soon..
Kiss Rocks!
Band looks n sounds good..2022..we are lucky to still have them
Fantastic Mike!!
Thanks a lot for sharing it.
For some strange reason, I can actually see Gene walking into a Walmart like that....
That's Wal-Mart...He wouldn't be the first one and likely not the last...
HA HA ❤️ I AGREE 👍
Lo que más me impresiona de esta banda es su entrega a su proyecto... Y lo lograron, mantenerlo vivo hasta que ellos también estén 💞💋👏👏👏👍🎸🪕🎹🥁🎤
Kiss makes me want to live forever
Tell you what Gene doesn't want you to live forever he wants you to obey and get your 66 booster 🖤
Nice to see the vip experience back again as normal
I love these guys. Been a fan since '77 when I was 5. Theyre influence inspired me to begin learning guitar at 7 yrs old and still through today and hopefully tomorrow. My tastes have grown up going Metal and away from the rock and roll of my youth, but I still spin some old vinyls and few things are more satisfying. Kiss ARMY since 1978
Good stuff they are still doing it 👏 thanks for sharing this with us
Down to earth guy's! I will miss them in their retirement!😊
This is really cool. I've never been a big Kiss fan, partly because I had it in my mind that they were "hotdogs." But I never saw this side of them. Very down to earth. I stand corrected.
Goin' Blind is worth the price of admission! One of their best songs, now do All the Way!
Here you go, from 6 months ago!

Mike- good job!! I was able to enjoy it musically. As a deaf person, I can hear clearly and follow where your camera points at. Very impressive! 👍👍👍 Too bad this video isnt captioned and I have no idea what the people were talking about. :(
one of my top faves of all time
Love how they honor the servicemen and women.
these guys are great together after all these yrs!
In their 70s and still rockin. R.I.P. Eric Carr and Gary Corbett
Thank you Mike this was awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those KISS fans sure have an amazing sense of fashion.
Kiss was my first-time concert experience when I saw them in 1973 -74 with a bunch of my friends back home at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit Rock City God bless them
More enjoyable than the actual show.Those old songs are the real thrill that wrote the Bible & sewed the seeds that so many would draw from.
wrote the bible ? like what?
I'm amazed that Paul and Gene look as good as they do now, at their age.
I love the version of 'Goin' Blind'. Gene has an amazing voice, when not resorting to the gruff and growling vocal style.
Good to see you guys! The first Album I purchased in Childhood, was Love Gun - Good years! Amazing Sound Track! I recollect a Kiss Biographical Comic, I had as well, about your early experiences in New York!
❤ ❤... Gene - stay away from those Hookers!
I never thought I'd say this but to see Gene Simmons come out on stage in a robe that says it all for me😅
Only he can get away with it
@@KeshiaFowler very true because he's Gene Simmons that's why😅
$270 for a small group of ppl, bantering w the band, five songs and possibly a guitar pick?? HELL YES. You'd be crazy not to, any kiss fan should be all over this. You don't get the makeup and the show, but if you've seen the show before then this is totally tits!
I get it's all about economics and that if people are willing to pay this much then they'll charge whatever. But fuck me, as if Gene fucking Simmons needs any more money. They *could* do this kind or thing for free to fanclub members or prize to winners or something, but... you know, Gene needs another house or something.
🙄
@@revivedfears it's a business like any other business. They are traveling all over the country, away from home, selling their product.
@@rticle15 I know yeah. They still charge admission and sell tons of merch. This is an extra side hustle for them. One that they *could* give away for free to fanclub members or whatever. Of course, they don't have to and if they can make extra money I can't necessarily fault them I was just expressing my personal opinion. For all I know Gene could give away millions to charities.
@@revivedfears you make a good point though. It would be a cool giveaway for the fan club
Great video behind the scenes and personal after all these years still have a sense of humor but that's doing what you love one observation though Ace looks different than what I remember kidding!
I did a photo story at Gene’s house with Shannon in the Hollywood hills about 15 years ago for an entertainment magazine. I spent all day at this home. I must say Gene was a very nice man and was very kind to me and my assistant and he is one smart business man. He knows how to market the Kiss brand extremely well. His office was filled with all the Kiss merchandise. He told me his mother was in a Nazi concentration camp and when he was a kid in Israel his family was very poor. Gene is a self made man. Even I don’t agree with his politics sometimes I respect him for making a successful career.
It's nice for Gene to come out in his Moo-Moo.
Hahahaha
SWEEETTTTTT I saw ACE laST YEAR IN bRIDGEPORT and soon at toads . THANKS MIKE !
I almost think I'd rather see this than the actual show. Real, raw, being themselves. Pretty cool.
The drummer looks so happy and excited when Gene walks out!
The demon still delivers!
Kiss is and always has been my ultimate rock hero’s.
Kiss sucks,bunch of jewish business man.
I love that Gene's in a robe!
why?? LOL
@@SKRooU2 Because he's such a character
They just take me back to being 15, so long ago.
Wouldve loved to have seen a sound check like this
I'd rather watch this than the main show.
That is a much better performance in my opinion instead of "fake playing and lip synching" as Paul said. Gene looks like he's reached his Elvis phase.
Muchas gracias Kiss.. por hacernos muy felices desde la niñez
Still my all time favorite band seen them 3 times was put in with Shannon and got a pic so awesome
