Kiss Unplugged is an MTV Unplugged album by American rock band Kiss. On August 9, 1995, the band performed on MTV Unplugged. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons contacted former members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley and invited them to participate. Fan reaction to Criss and Frehley at the show was so positive that, in 1996, the original lineup of Kiss reunited, with all four original members together for the first time since 1979. It is the first live album by the band that is not part of the Alive series.
"The sound was deafening: the sound of rock 'n' roll history coming full circle in a TV studio", wrote Kerrang!'s Don Kaye in a review of the taping at New York's Sony Music Studios. "Complete pandemonium ensued as they struck the opening chords to '2,000 Man', and it continued when Ace's voice rang out in the clear, sardonic manner we all know and love.
It marked the only time the original lineup performed publicly without their trademark makeup, and was also the only time Frehley and Criss shared a stage with Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick. It was the first time Singer had part of a lead vocal on an album (shared with Criss on "Nothin' to Lose"). On March 12, 1996, the concert was released on CD and, on December 18, 2007, on the Kissology Volume Three: 1992-2000 DVD set. This included the original DVD release of the concert plus five previously unreleased songs: "Hard Luck Woman" (with Stanley on vocals), "Heaven's on Fire", "Spit", "C'mon and Love Me", and a country version of "God of Thunder". The LP version of the album includes a poster and some were pressed on yellow marbled vinyl.
A stand-alone VHS and DVD documentary was produced around the same time as the CD release, with archival footage of the band's rehearsal sessions at SIR Studios in New York. It also shows the first "KISS Konvention" appearance with Criss joining the touring members on stage to sing a few tunes earlier in the year. According to Criss, this invite gave Simmons the idea of reaching out to both him and Frehley to be a part of the Unplugged taping in an unannounced reunion. Because of the contentious split, the worldwide fan base never thought this would happen, and it was kept a closely held secret until the day of the event

If this song was recorded in mid-90s with "wonderwall-ish" mix in studio, it would be a worldwide radio-hit. This song was 20 years ahead of its time, and one of the most underated songs in history
The Melvins did a cover of it in '94, and Dinosaur Jr. did one a year or two later. This song was a precursor to grunge, as both Buzz Osborne and J. Mascis had both admitted.
Exactly
Сижу и плачу..это прямо гимн рок-н-роллу..такой своеобразный. Эпичная тема. Одна из лучших песен в истории 🔥🔥
Yes and sadly the studio recording was complete dogshit.
💯
One of genes best bass lines and definitely one of KISSs best songs
Одна из лучших в истории имхо..текст просто Бомба! Особенно линия : мне 93 в тебе всего лишь 16 🥶 потрясающий контраст!!
Agreed
Easily Kiss' most under-rated song.
The whole Hotter Than Hell album is underrated. Their best album imo
Baby driver
Parasite rocked!
Let Me Go, Rock n Roll, Mainline, All The Way, Comin Home...this album Rocked when it first came out, and it still Rocks!
@@MRForever-ub5pw for me It could be considered the best kiss album if wasn't for the bad quality sound.
Genes bass playing is criminally underrated. Putting aside His stage showmanship & makeup, the man is a damn good bass player.this song in Paticular, validates my point
he is one of the best
He is pretty good, but he acts like an asshole sometimes
The best song he ever wrote imo.
I seem to remember him being modest about his bass playing abilities - he once said that, on a scale from 1 to 10, he was a 6. His words.
@@K4l4mburg0 I think that's fair actually (6/10). Not a great guitarist either, but he has written some pretty good guitar riffs. I believe I heard a demo of him playing guitar with the main riff to "Fits Like a Glove" many years ago. Props for that jammin riff!
It’s a shame Gene puts on the front of only being in music for money and women, because his catalogue displays a depth of soul that he never delves into in the way he presents himself. His bass playing also shows a real dedication toward being a good musician and the fun he has playing in a band is unmistakable.
I saw them in concert a handful of times. Gene was joking around during a break while they were messing with Mark St. John's gear after it got borked in the middle of a song. While "noodling", Gene started bouncing between slap-funk and jazz on his bass. Seriously great skill was displayed, just to keep warm and loose.
@@johncrafton8319 that’s awesome. My favorite thing to do for music snobs is play “Almost Human” and watch them groove until I tell them it’s KISS hahaha
@@joshuapaladini1507 a lot of people respond to their music like that, when you tell people it’s kiss it no longer appears to sounds good to them
The greedy womanizer persona he displays is just that: a character. I've read that he's actually a really nice, compassionate guy and a complete gentleman.
Goosebumpy. Genes bassplaying while crooning - Legend.
There is a clip of just Gene and Paul doing it for MTV, I think it was South America 1994. They were still in top form in those days.
Dad, why did you name my sister Rose?
Because your mother loves Roses
Oh, thanks dad.
No problem Kiss MTV Unplugged Goin Blind.
Anyone that says Gene cant play bass needs to watch this and shut their mouth! So good!!
Yep. I dare those to try and play and sing that at the same time.
@@hypermac77 NO DOUBT!
Its not that hard, but yeah, he's actually reasonably proficient/stable, altho if you listen to just the bass and drums (the drums here are as on as a metronome), he's not as on as the drums. They were pretty untight for many years, but that was a combo of criss being pretty bad, stanley and simmons being not amazing (but musical) and frehley being a bit sloppy.
Plus the lick on Detroit Rock City might be the most catchy bass line of the ‘70s
@@Shifty1940..Gene didn’t play bass on quite a few KISS songs. Ace and Paul played it when he couldn’t
He’s gotten better of course.
Singer is adding too many fills here. He just needs to keep it simple.
One of KISS' greatest moments. This show and record proved that the guys could actually play their instruments, and that at least a few of their songs sound great even stripped of distortion, effects and makeup. It helps that Singer and Kulick are damned good musicians, but the core of these songs is strong enough to withstand personnel changes. Despite the creepy-ass subject matter, this performance is amazing.
I still remember Paul saying"if a song doesn t work as acoustic, then it s a crappy song"... Damn true
The excellent musicianship of KISS was well-documented long before Unplugged. Only the jealous, failed, wannabe, and pretend "musicians" who like to criticize KISS needed this as proof and it's doubtful that any of them even recognize it as or admit that it is proof.
☑️ I was not only impressed by Bruce and Eric's performance, but Gene's bass playing was very good, much better than I would've kinda expected. Honestly though, I haven't exactly heard a lot of kickass bass solos from Gene in the past, so I expected him to be more of a basic, no-frills rhythm style bassist.
I was probably most impressed with the slick, tasteful drumming. I'm a drummer, so.........
I've always believed that when the lyrics say "I'm 93, you're 16" the character in the song means it in a sort of sardonically exaggerated way. In other words, it's about a guy who realizes that he is just too old for a young lady who is interested in him, and is maybe 25 and she's 16 but he feels like the age difference is so large that he might as well be 93.
@@rhizomorph-music
Agreed .
Otherwise this song may have just been put to the side and eventually forgotten .
This is the type of song that I could listen to 1000 times without getting bored! Gene´s vocals are amazing!
Get chills every time Gene starts singing
Melvins brought me here. Not a kiss fan but I love this song! Both versions are great!!!
The Melvins made me a Kiss fan
My favorite version is Dinosaur Jr’s in the Kiss my a** tribute album. And they made me a Kiss fan.
Melvis version sound like Crap
It’s Melvins my genius friend!
Jake Brown Fuck that...go there listen to that emo shit
Gene sings rather well. People are just haters
Gene's an excellent singer, when he sings. Never was a fan of the growling stuff.
One of the best songs ever played period.
For some reason, when I was a kid, I always interpreted this song as a grandfather who was really close with grand daughter telling her that his time is almost up and he can no longer keep up.
Damn.... first time seeing this unplugged, the bassline is so incredible.
Está canción me llega al corazón, siento que Gene la canta con gran sentimiento, creería que vivió una experiencia similar a la que canta !!!
Pensei que essa música fosse do The Melvins
Hands down KISS’s best song every!!!!!
That bass line killed me. Damn Gene
One of the best KISS songs ever
If anyone has ever delved in playing Bass guitar, it's one of the most difficult string instruments to play while singing lead vocals at the same time.
Is also what made Paul McCartney such a unique bass player as well as vocalist.
Mi favorita de todo el Unplugged... Lo que daria por escuchar esta era de Kiss con mi Kulick.
So thankful my father was in the kiss army and brought me up on this amazing band, they are still my favourite band to this day and will be forever.. it’s just a shame there’s a handful of us youth who only know real music such as this.
Alex Merendino thats the truth!!
How old are you ?
Sly Knight 22
Nice, I turned 19 today ( 11:20 pm )
Very true. For my 22nd birthday next year, I’ve treated myself to watch KISS live for the first time (and sadly last, as it is their final tour). It’ll be my first concert I’ve ever gone to, and I’m so happy that it’ll be KISS. I’m going alone, since as you said, there really isn’t many youth you can meet nowadays that just so happen to like bands like this for us to share moments with.
Im not even a big Kiss fan but this is my favorite song of all the unplugged
It's funny how that one lyric being changed can change the whole tone and meaning of a song. With a simple swap it goes from being a bit of a weird song about a 93yo who may have feelings for a 16yo, to a tale of a lonely dying sea captain speaking of and to a creature he met many years ago. Almost makes you wonder why they didn't stick with that original draft for the initial recording.
Definitely my fave song from this unplugged sesh, and a very underated KISS tune. Still sounds awesome in '22 🤙
And, he still pulls it off at over 70!!!
One of their best songs
Gene:
Master manspreader
He'd probably be doing it even if he didn't have to sit like that to hold his...bass.
One of favorites from Kiss
Gene is such a stud! He sits there playing one of the best bass lines ever, belting out the lyrics with absolutely no effort. What a rock and roll god!!
Eric singer is a beast
this song has so much feel to it it’s so good 😤
Me encanta mi papà me la canta para dormir
This song should been on way more setlists on all the tours Kiss did than it was. It is a MASTERPIECE!!!!
I actually really love this one of from Gene - it’s more like a ballad instead of demonic style
Никогда не думал что у Поцелуй могут быть такие классные песни 😍 спасибо Мелвинс...и курту. Без него бы и Мелвинс то не узнали 🤣
Love Bruce Kulick wish he was still there.
I loved the chemistry of the Revenge line up. Much better than the 80s Kiss.
He nails that Solo. Whatta man
@@danthaman03 Eric Carr was a much more talented drummer than Eric Singer will ever be.
Temazo. Una tristeza que kiss dijo adiós, por siempre en mi ❤
The best MTV Unplugged!
So damn good!
Legendary
😘 You all are the best!
Gracias Kiss por tanto!!!!!
Simply beautiful.
Best kiss song there is
My favorite Kiss song
I first heard this on a Melvins album. Later, when this originally aired on MTV, I was shocked KISS would be doing a Melvins cover. Haha! I had it backwards. It was fun also to see Gene join the Melvins to perform this song live.
Awesome. Hahaha
My wife (8 years my junior) did the same when I took her to see David Bowie on the Reality Tour. She loved it and also exclaimed, "That was awesome when he did the Nirvana cover". LOL. Love her to bits
Chldhood in the 70s. My first LP. #KISS 🔥
This was my jam in the summer of 1996 and what got me into KISS
I only recently saw this concert for the first time and was very surprised to see and hear how good musicians Stanley and Simmons actually are. I'd prior always experienced them more as hard rock show with fire and distortion.
Underrated.
Such an underated gem
É por esse motivo que o Hotter Than Hell de 1974 é o meu disco predileto da carreira!
One of my favourite songs and wickedly good unplugged.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome
How beautiful is this song? What I love about Kiss 70 Era is, that they were absolutely free to do whatever genre they liked... From God if thunder to this is a complete different world, Genius
Fantástica interpretación, que músicos notables!
I always liked this song off Hotter Than Hell. This version is simply sublime
Love genes bass playing here
like a wonderful dream - this song
I don't care
I still like this.
😎🤘
This song showcases the finesse and skill that KISS posseses. Kulick, great as always.
Very underrated song.....they really never play the song live....until this time around....for a 1974 song
They played it on the Hotter Than Hell tour, back in '74-'75. Rush opened for them. Geddy Lee and Neil Peart wrote a song called "I Think I'm Going Bald" as a parody of the song, taking a bite out of Alex Lifeson's constant fear of losing his hair.
Played it last night at dickies
Great song
One of Kiss’ weirdest songs. Also one of its best. Classic line that gets better with age (so to speak): “I’m 93, you’re 16.”
Poetic license, the effect was achieved through exageration. I think that the first draft was "I'm 23, you're 16", but then they decided to go for the proverbial throat
@@K4l4mburg0 Good choice! 23 would have been just creepy, not weird.
Real Music is here
Uma das melhores da playlist
De mis Unplugged preferidos
Grande Amanda Miguel
Fun Fact: Some maybe heard it gene sang the wrong lyrics with "little lady" in it, thats because the song originally had this lyrics in 1970 when the song was written!!!
That's the Gene's voice I love!
Hermoso y sublime.....me encanta esta canción .
I'm 93, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm goin' blind. lol
Классная песня
Cmon we all know this is the Perfect version of this song!
Kiss was still a good band back then.
this is such a nice one - GREAT MASTERS
Es el tema preferido y más escuchado por lejos, un mimo al corazón, una caricia al alma.
This was peak kiss.
what a drummer! this guy is a great great drummer...
Such beautiful voices, and guitars, and... S2
Has to be one of their best performances I’ve seen since they arrived on the scene besides hard luck women 👏👏👏👏👏✅✅✅✅👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
best Gene EVER sounded.
So grateful for this on many many levels
I was always drawn to this song when I was young. It was dark and kinda scared me. Lol.
That is a true words from the depth of a Heart. Dont you hear How a Human Soul Speaks We're All going Blind but I know there is a Hope for All of Us to be able to see..
A beautiful rendition.
beautiful song! charming bass line
Been listening to The Melvins cover of this for like 15 years. Have never cared much for Kiss so I somehow had absolutely no idea this was their song until today 😲
Kudos to these dudes, cause I’ve enjoyed this song for so long while not giving enough respect to Kiss 😆😅
Having the EXACT same experience right now
@@chukfunk shocking isn’t it 😆😆
My favorite Kiss song 🔥🔥
And I know how it should be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I'm goin' blind
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
Little lady, can't you see
You're so young and so much different than I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm goin' blind
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
You're much younger, can't you see
There is nothing more for you and I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
And I think I'm goin' blind
Yes, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
El baterista es un fenómeno!!!
such a nice song - GREAT MASTERS - you ar - love you so much
Their best song when they were musically at their peak.
KISS FOREVER FOREVER KISS
Love this song
Eric Singer never met a cymbal he couldn't hit with style
This unplugged is the best work that he made in Kiss
@@namlu9979 i like his work with Jake’s Badlands also... 😀😀
I always watch this video because I love it but god damn! I wish there was more drum footage
Me recuerda mi época de universidad. ❤️
KISS fan or not, this is good stuff. Their unplugged CD is phenomenal, and I never hear the stuff on the radio. Then again, radio in NE Ohio is dull and void of any substance, which describes everything here.
Gene!
O show que fez minha infância..
Luv this one. I’m 93, you’re 16...
Thats kinda creepy bro :v
@@gabrielbarblay8120 Nothing creepy about. It wasn't sexual. It was an old man trying to converse with a teenage girl. That's it.
No offense to Peter. But Eric Singer is a better drummer.
