right on. the first 7 to 10 albums of great hard rock and then 2 heavy metal albums dominated by exceptional songs. and i cant stand much past animalize antmore. but these 2 amazing
@@seangiuliani3825 Yes, agree completely. The only one I can listen to after LICK IT UP is the 1992 Revenge album (to which Vinny Vincent contributed).
@@CarlettoPuglia yeah for sure. i mean vinny is a great singer and clearly a great songwriter. gene said himself vinny sings better than me. i used to imagine the .....knife through butter, scream was vinny. i know it was gene but i reckon vocally he elevated them also. Just the viciousness of YOUNG AND WASTED CHORUS. I mean. Wow they are great albums. im wishing everyone peace so peace brother
I loved COTN and LIU back in the Days and I was desperately waiting for both of the Albums... talking about the good days of the Music Business.@spaceace1006
"Creatures Of The Night" and "Lick It Up" are two of my top favorites too. They were two very heavy rocking and dark emotional sounding albums with great songs and performances. The 1970's KISS albums were always pure magic to me and they always will be, but out of the 1980's KISS, "Creatures Of The Night" and "Lick It Up" were just the wickedest. I actually loved "Animalize" too but that was after Vinnie left. I love all of KISS' albums. But you have to admit. "Creatures" and "Lick It Up" were just crushing powerhouse KISS. This is another great cartoon history by you guys. The way you cartooned Vinnie is hysterical. I wasn't too upset when KISS first took off the make up. They were compensating by making much heavier metal music. In the later 1980's things got kind of too commercial though I still bought and loved every album. But several years later, after Eric Carr passed on, I was so happy they returned to the make up look in 1996.
@kissdiaries Agreed. I loved both. But I think Paul was right. The only thing that held Creatures back was the makeup. I probably would have been huge if they had decided to take off the makeup on that album.
@@kissdiaries Well...Bruce would be the perfect guy for right now. Thayer is a terrible choice. The 90's Revenge should've been reassembled...in makeup
@@kissdiariesif not for Vinnie, there would not have been a Bruce and no Kiss in the 80s If not for Vinnie, Kiss would be a forgotten band from the 70s.
it's hard to believe it's been over 40 years since they took their makeup off and came out on MTV. i still prefer the band with makeup then without makeup i thought the non-makeup era was a step backward. but hey it turned out to be successful for the band and here they are today still preforming 40 years later.
I like their hair era but I agree with Paul that most of the songs from that era are a bit lackluster. They were still better than most of their hair metal peers though.

Creatures (1982) failed because of the timing. If they waited less than a year later when Motley crue's shout at the devil (1983) was released it would have been a different ball game. The makeup with Motley crue kinda re-invented the "make up" thing again.. And you can say Twisted Sister than appeared (1984) etc. Creatures blows away any motley Crue or Twisted sister album. Kiss probably would have had another year or 2 with the makeup.
C'mon the the third line up is much better than original. Gene, Paul, Eric and Vinnie was awesome! the characters too...The fox and The Warrior was incredible make up, better than the original.
Creatures was a kick ass album_ Vinny Vincent sucks_ No more Ace ? No more Kiss fan_ I was done....until Vincent left_ Just never liked that guy_ freakin' wierdo
I love these vids!! Thanks for all the effort put into them and sharing with us
Glad to hear!
theyre really great, hey!
Creatures and LIU are my fave Kiss albums. And all the DRAMA over Vinny has endured for four decades! The best villian ever!!! 😎

October 1983. Saw Kiss for the first time. Great times and a great album.
I thought Vinnies Ank character was really bad ass!!
Been waiting for another video..yes!!!
Great job love these. Paul's ego never fails to entertain 😂
He's BACK! A hearty Simmons "OH YEAH" ! in salute!
Glad you were able to work Ace in there
There will be more of him in the next two Episodes ;)

Thank you very much, I got two more Episodes coming ;)
A million to one should have been the second single. Paul's vocal is amazing!
@spaceace1006you should check out the work he did with Laura Nero.
He can play in many different styles,
Great work. Thanks for continuing this series. Love it!!!
Nice slant and well put together. Good work and always a pleasure to view KISS stuff. 🙂
Ich kann die beiden anderen Teile kaum erwarten! 🎉
Awesome these clips are great. Cheers from Canada 🍻
man i love ur content. re living my childhood. and presented in such a cool way.peace
Creatures was a great album.
Yes it was... but LICK IT UP happened to be a good one too
@kissdiaries Agreed. I loved both. But I think Paul was right. The only thing that held Creatures back was the makeup. I probably would have been huge if they had decided to take off the makeup on that album.
Very right@@jamesmccool503
YESSS!!! Welcome back KD! I Kouldn’t KlicK on this video fast enough. Tho I gotta say, no make up animated KISS will take some getting used to.
Love your work. Thank you.
Thanks, glad to hear!
Imagine if Vinnie stayed with KISS....how great they could've been in the 80's
Good point, but his Ego would have destroyed KISS in my Eyes.I personally think Bruce was the right Guy for 80s KISS
@@kissdiaries Well...Bruce would be the perfect guy for right now. Thayer is a terrible choice. The 90's Revenge should've been reassembled...in makeup
Lol... highly doubt that
I never thought Vinnie was a good fit for Kiss except as a songwriter.
@@kissdiariesif not for Vinnie, there would not have been a Bruce and no Kiss in the 80s
If not for Vinnie, Kiss would be a forgotten band from the 70s.
Thank you! Love the series

Awesome work!!!
GREAT JOB!
Cheers ;)
I remember going to the record store to see Lick it Up. I held the record up, examined their faces, and put it right back on the shelf.
Thought you weren't going to do the non-makeup years? So glad you are!
Yes, but only LICK IT UP!
Halloween my new Project will be uploaded
Glad you made more videos!! Keep pushing em out because these are the hottest vids in the land 🖤💀
Thank you, very glad to hear

A million to one is a killer tune
Thanks!
Thank you so much ;)
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊, awesome, can't wait for the next one, lol
Graphics are awesome
iPaul sure uses the "Sizzle and Steak" comparison alot. They all hate each other. i don't see why they just quit and move on. oh yeah, money......
2:36 Dan Akroyd is a happy camper there
Sehr Gut! Lass sie kommen!
Wird gemacht ;)
Love this 🤟
I like their hair era but I agree with Paul that most of the songs from that era are a bit lackluster. They were still better than most of their hair metal peers though.
Nice!!!❤
9:03 i was in 3rd grade and super pissed off. 😢 i turned off cable box infuriated, probably played with GI joes after
Remember when Gene was called "the bat lizard"?
Taking off the makeup was a must. Hard for gene easy for Paul it was survival
Manythnx Kiss Diaries
Happy to hear, you like it!
Yeah...
Har börjat kolla - eftersom svenska fans gör de bästa dokumentärerna så kikar jag vidare senare! Jösses, jag var bara 17 när Lick It Up kom...

? 🙃
every time it goes to that Mtv unmasking scene on whatever video Im watching, I skip past all that. Cant even sit thru it again.
yee haw
As a die hard Peter Criss fan and Ace, I have to admit I did think Lick it Up was a very good album!!!
Creatures (1982) failed because of the timing. If they waited less than a year later when Motley crue's shout at the devil (1983) was released it would have been a different ball game. The makeup with Motley crue kinda re-invented the "make up" thing again.. And you can say Twisted Sister than appeared (1984) etc. Creatures blows away any motley Crue or Twisted sister album. Kiss probably would have had another year or 2 with the makeup.
Very right!
Next up-
Gene’$
anti litter campaign:
“Pick It Up”
It’s only right now.
What is Beethoven doing here
What a joke cause Gene was already in 2 movies before the unveiling 😮
Uhhh, they didn't take off the make-up, they just changed it.
C'mon the the third line up is much better than original. Gene, Paul, Eric and Vinnie was awesome! the characters too...The fox and The Warrior was incredible make up, better than the original.
They 😂 should have went Maiden style 😂 3 axes 🪓. Paul, Vinnie and Ace . Imagine that ??? 😮
..unmask..and then put the makeup back on again..not really cool, is it ?.. :)
Creatures was a kick ass album_ Vinny Vincent sucks_ No more Ace ? No more Kiss fan_ I was done....until Vincent left_ Just never liked that guy_ freakin' wierdo
I Love it very interesting 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, glad to hear!
