      Sadly, once they've done a song, they won't do another version / live version of a song. For them it's one and done and move on to next song.
      They are the ONLY reactors that won't do other video version reactions of the same song.

    Gene sings about half of every album and you have heard him before on I Love it Loud and Rock and Roll All Nite. Some other Gene on vocals songs to give a try are Gold Gin, Deuce, Calling Dr. Love, Christine Sixteen, this is classic KISS. Now in the 80s you have War Machine, Not For the Innocent, Young and Wasted, Gene took a lesser role here because he was making movies. But in the 90s he was back with Unholy and Domino, which are probably his best vocals ever. There is one other song, that was never a hit, called Plaster Caster. This song epitomizes KISS in the 70s.

      @michaelnerychel6727 They purposely did that as they wanted to be like the Beatles. All 4 guys in both bands sing and play instruments. They're the only 2 bands where all 4 members have a song in the Top 40. KISS wont let anybody join them on stage like a special guest because the Beatles never did. Nobody joined the Beatles on stage for a song or 2. This is all explained in Kiss and Sell, or KISS: Behind the Mask. I forget which book.

    A classic top 40 you need to do is "Hard Luck Woman." Very popular. Maybe do a few from Gene's solo album. "Radioactive" and "Livin' In Sin" are two of my favs from his album. Paul's solo album is pretty great, too.

    There are many fan favorites that Gene sang! Fun fact..Paul Stanley wrote this song and did not want to give it up to Gene but, producer Bob Ezrin was adamant that Gene should sing this because it fit his image to a T. Destroyer was the album that catapulted them to international stardom. Here are some great Gene sung KISS songs some which you have already covered:
    "Rock And Roll All Night"
    "I Love It Loud"
    "Deuce" - Do the KISS ALIVE version..make sure you do the introduction before it too, because it's iconic with KISS fans!
    "Parasite" - Hotter Than Hell album or KISS ALIVE both versions smoke!
    "She" - Do the KISS ALIVE version
    "Domino" - from the Revenge album it's badass
    "Dr. Love" - from the Rock And Roll Over album... it was a hit!
    "Watching You" - Do the KISS ALIVE version it's badass too!
    "Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll" on KISS Alive or studio version
    "Love Em Leave Em" - from the Rock And Roll Over album

    If you love Gene on vocals, and their more heavier songs, you must listen to their early 90’s song “UNHOLY” off their 1992 album Revenge. It’s one of their heaviest and more sinister sounding tracks. When it came out I couldn’t believe it was them. Plus it came out as grunge was becoming huge, so hearing them having this heavier sound to kick off the 90’s with (while countering the popular grunge music of the time) was badass! UNHOLY, Rob ya won’t regret it 🤘🏻

    Great song, you have reacted to 2 songs that Gene sings on already. On a usual KISS album back then, Paul and Gene would have almost an even split of songs, mixed in with Peter. Then with Love Gun, Ace got over his shyness and he started to contribute with vocals also. When KISS started, Gene said they wanted to be a heavier version of The Beatles, everyone sings and everyone plays.

    This is Gene's signature song! The little kids you here in the song are actually the producers kids running around the studio that accidentally got caught on tape and they decided to leave them in. This song was actually used as the opening song to rob zombies version of Halloween.

    I'm not sure if you guys reacted to it but Gene is actually the lead vocalist on their most well known hit Rock and Roll All Nite. You guys have also reacted to I Love It Loud, which he was also the lead on. But yeah, Gene leads on a ton of their songs. I'd recommend Parasite, Charisma, Calling Dr Love, and War Machine if you want some more great Gene songs. Also I think you guys would love Shout It Out Loud. Paul and Gene are co-lead vocalists on that one

    Omg this brings back memories! Saw Kiss in mid 90’s with a friend. Nosebleed tickets. Before the show, we were walking around and a security guard came up to us out of nowhere and asked if we wanted front row tickets. Ummm YES!! When Gene Simmons sang this song he was in some kind of cage thing and was directly above us. He had the fake blood coming out of his mouth and it was dripping all over us. Still have the shirt I wore with the dried up “blood” on it. I’ve been to lots of concerts, but front row center at the Kiss concert?!?! Nothing else like it!

    Ironically, even though God of Thunder is considered Gene's signature song, it was actually written by Paul Stanley. It was producer Bob Ezrin's idea for Gene to sing it. BTW, those kids you hear are Ezrin's kids.

    I just finished commenting on the Pilot video and bam, you came up with this. Like I said in the other video, I am a bassist. well when this album came out, I was a teenager, about 16. I was starry eyed over Gene and the boys with this album and Alive. Come January 1, 1977, I got to see them LIVE. I was hooked.8 rows from Gene Simmons in his heyday. I was already learning how to play bass at that point, and decided that night, yup, I want to do THAT. I never got the breaks but I still play and I still try to put on a show but I will never equal ( nor will they) that show back when I had just turned 17. This pic of me on the left is actually me onstage with funky lighting.

    1st time(of many) I saw Kiss was New Years eve 1975 at Nassau Coliseum in NY. Opener Leslie Wests hair went up in flames as they left stage(no encore lol). Then Blue Oyster Cult and then Kiss with orchestra standing room(no seats) came out at midnight. Managed to slide and angle myself to about 20 ft. In front of Paul Stanley. Was pretty drunk too and had to go back to my seat after about 1 hour because the volume was off the charts! It was like getting hit in the chest with a fist and I couldn't take it anymore. One of the most spectacular shows I ever saw, ears were ringing for days, lol. It compelled me to see them many times over the years.

  • @EverydayEvan
    @EverydayEvan 9 месяцев назад

    Alright...you guys have done a few KISS songs, but honestly, y'all have just barely dipped your toes into the incredible ocean that is KISS. They have been my very favorite band for over 45 years. This song was on their Destroyer album, which was the very first 8 track tape I bought as a young man back in 1978. I think I was around 10-11 years old. Gene is also the front man on Rock and Roll All Night and a few others. There is SO MUCH KISS that you haven't even seen the tip of the iceburg. You wanted the best, you've got the best! Love you guys!

    @daviddunlevy6285 9 месяцев назад

    In the seventies, every KISS member sang lead on at least a few songs. Paul was the one who would be the frontman who would officially address the audience. Initially for the first four studio albums, only Paul Gene and Peter sang lead on songs, but then Ace wrote and recorded Shock Me that was recorded on Love Gun in ‘77, (he didn’t sing any songs prior to that because he wasn’t comfortable with singing, but he eventually got over it). Gene and Paul wanted KISS to be like the Beatles in the sense that every member would sing lead on songs, at least one song. This is the band that got me into hard rock as a child in the seventies.
    I always love watching your videos, they bring to my face every time; you guys are like friends that I haven’t personally met yet! You two have a great week!
