VERY COOL DAD! His kids are very well balanced and thriving thanks to his good parenting. (It's also cool to see the resemblance in his face and his mannerisms to those of his children after having watched several videos by his kids!)
One thing to remember about KISS, most of their songs are written in the first person point of view. This allows the fans to feel engaged with the band when they sing along at the concert.
Hey Dad, really enjoyed watching you see this song for the first time. However, Tommy Thayer is the lead guitarist on this version. I’ve seen KISS 6 times, the first time in 1976 with the original members and the last time on their “End Of The Road Tour” in 2019! Every concert was great, but I must say, besides the original members: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss(drums), and Ace Freley(lead guitar), when Eric Carr join playing drums and Bruce Kulick on lead guitar, that was the best combination! Look up Eric Carr and find one of his drum solos with KISS and I think you will understand! Eric Carr died in 1992 and it was a sad day for Rock and Roll!
Great timing, one of the few bands I wasn’t into hardcore was Kiss, until the last few months. I’ve already accumulated around 10 Kiss CDs, and have been loving them. We’re doing Kiss In History of Rock right now, I actually got Gene to Google Meet in and talk to us on this upcoming Monday, I’m so excited! Edit: If you’re doing more Kiss, I’d like to recommend “Rocket Ride” off Alive II, “You Wanted The Best” off Psycho Circus, and “Tears Are Falling” off Asylum.
Rock am Ring (German for Rock at the Ring. Pronounced “am”, not “A.M.”) is one of Germany’s largest outdoor music festivals. It takes place at the Nürbergring; a racing and Grand Prix motor sports complex. In 2010 it was sold out at a 86.500 capacity. Gene and Paul were 60 and 59 respectively, at the time
Really fun, silliness… Ace played this classic on the “Kiss Alive” album, back in the day… Tommy Thayer does a great respectful version in this performance… He’s not Ace, but then again, who is? 😂
Have a lot more respect for Kiss now than when I was younger. As you said, they're not the most technically proficient musicians but you get your money's worth when you a attend a concert. Saw them in Duluth, MN in 1977. The opening band was Uriah Heep. Recommendation: Since summer is here how about some surf music? Something from Dick Dale , Fender IV, The Centurion or The Atlantics
Kiss is fun. They can play. Almost 50 years later. They have great songs. A great show. Mainstream radio, critics shit on them since their start...but the fans got it . You get it now. Kiss never tried to change the world. Just have fun . Kiss like them or not remain one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time.
I own a lot of vinyl. This was my band as a teenager. Paul Stanley is the circus master. I adore this band. They were the first band I saw live and it was epic.
Anyone who attends a Kiss concert ALWAYS Gets their money’s worth. 🤘🏻. This one of their least popular songs but I have always thought of this as top tier.
Way to go Dad! My fave KISS song of all time...kudos on doing a KISS live version....find the version on KISS ALIVE (1975) for the best version ever....and that's not Ace...its Tommy Thayer
You're right, not so much for technical ability, they are all about the show. Seen them twice, the 1st reunion tour in the mid 90's and then again around 99-2000. Both were great shows. The memory that stands out was on the 1st reunion tour, Peter Cris grabbed a stool, parked it front and center, sat down , and sang "Beth' acapella.
Great reaction, dad! This performance gets that adrenaline rush. They still have it in them. First time hearing this song as well. 🤘I really enjoy it! I dig that shirt! 👍
APPROVE 💯 Dad, your reaction was really professional. Only one tiny issue: don't pause for too long. Mabye it's just me but it's better to talk about the song after the end. Let the music do the talking. Other than that, this reaction was put up together pretty nicely. The series definitely has good potential in two ways. Either you can leave it on the existing channel to boost its subs or start up another channel which, with your superb musical knowledge, would attract those hardcore music nerds and your channel would take off like a space shuttle. Whatever you choose to do, dad, it's a win for you, it's a win for us. Cheers!
Great Song, great Concert there in 2010 in my home Germany. Please do a Black Diamond Reaction from a Live Version Thumbs for this Video, greetings from Germany
Love them or not, you cannot deny that Kiss are incredible performers. They are a great band because they have fantastic energy, they put on a great show, and they play really well together live. That is no surprise since they came from the era when almost all bands had to hone their craft by playing live in bars and clubs at nights and on the weekends, and they almost always had to generate some kind of following in a local market before they would get discovered by the A&R agents from a major record label. I have never been enough of a Kiss fan to want to go to one of their shows, but from all the live footage I have seen of them performing (including this show when they were well into their 50s and 60s) I know that the performances would be great. MVR for this one has to go to Dad. Since you asked, I had not heard this song before watching your video either, so it was new to me. I'm trying to think if there's a song I know that you would not know, and at the moment I'm coming up blank. I have a feeling that growing up, you and I listened to the same kind of "deep cut" classic rock and roll radio stations that would not just play the singles but would go deep into the album. In the meantime, if Claire and Walker haven't reacted to any Golden Earring, I'd suggest perhaps "Twilight Zone" for them. Despite the title, the song was not inspired by the old TV show, but instead by a relatively obscure (at the time) novel by Robert Ludlum called "The Bourne Identity" (the song may have been recorded before Matt Damon was even born).
@@haigo I was just pointing it out since the kid's father doesn't know a lot about the band and the changes. Sadly both Peter and Ace couldn't keep their heads on straight and neither of them has the chops anymore, especially Peter. :-(
@@haigo disagree heavily. It has none of the fire, brilliance, sloppiness, soul. I should’ve done an original four version. But he obviously didn’t know. Glad he did the video anyway.
That's not Ace Frehley. He hasn't looked like that, since the early days. I believe that's Tommy Thayer. I don't even think that would be Peter Chris, either. It didn't quite seem like him, but I also think the other guy replaced him around the same time as Ace being replaced by Tommy Thayer. I just had to look it up; Eric Singer is on drums. And that is Tommy Thayer.
Peter Criss and Ace Frehley aren't in this video. The drummer in the video is Eric Singer and the guitarist is Tommy Thayer. Both are technically speaking better than Peter or Ace. If you want to watch a version with the original band, watch this RUclips video: ruclips.net/video/j2pBXWYuMLA/видео.html
Alright hold up! The person that sent you the request for this song said it was Ace Frehley at his finest. You might want to find one with Ace playing, not Tommy Thayer. Just saying 😌. This is good but when Ace is on he kills on this track.
Great rock attitude on the review. If you like it that's all that matters. Would love to see a family reaction to Ningen Isu performing Heartless Scat. Visually and musically outstanding. If you're concerned about the lyrics have a friend of yours review it first but I would really love to see you and the kids review it together.
I think you were underselling the playing on this track a bit. Every time someone talks about Kiss, it's like they have to add in "It's not very technically proficient".I think the lead work here is very creative, and perfect for the song, I'd even say it excels for the song. And is no simpler than 90% of other popular songs. Okay, it's not Steve Vai, but how much of music is?
Well you probably should have reacted to the actual audio off of "alive one" the album and the song may have been written by Ace Frehley but the vocals are by Gene Simmons
I agree with Forza, less pausing. New suggestion - get outside your comfort zone and listen to Kylie Minogue. Not sure how familiar you are with her, very underrated in the US. Look up Tight Rope from the Anti Tour, more obscure song and smaller venue but you can watch the band, which is usually hidden at live concerts. And it’s a great performance. m.ruclips.net/video/4PV3TDRqFxc/видео.html
Hey dad, I like how you head banged during the Tommy solo. (Yeah sorry we all said that.) Anyways maybe y'all can do a reaction with Claire? She'll show you the ropes. Lol 😊✌️
Trust a KISS fan when they tell you which version of a KISS song to listen to. Ace hasn’t been with the band for years. Take the time to watch the version suggested and you will hear the difference.
There's a reason your requester wanted you to hear kiss alive with Ace Frehley he totally smokes and this song closing the alive record it is definitely worth a listen Tommy Thayer who played lead guitar as you're now well oh where in the video your reacting to does a great job but it's still missing that Ace raw Edge either way great band great song and as always cheers
They do rock!!! My first kiss album was dressed to kill in elementary school. Good times. Saw them on their reunion tour in 1996 at Madison square garden. Awesome show!! Like you said, so rock and roll. And they have such a distinctive sound… when Ace Jams on his les Paul, you know it’s him
Dropping suggestions: Southern Backtones - Forever Southern Backtones - My Hell Pecos Hank - How Did You Get To Be So Mean Pecos Hank - La Malediction de la Danse du Poulet
Hey, Dad(dy), Why don't You try "Nazareth" the Song is "Love Hurts", another Song that fits the times... wink, wink, nudge, nudge!! It is easily found...
Mate it’s not Ace. The track the dude Mike suggested is easily available. You have missed this by a long shot. Nashville?? The music works is bigger than Nashville. Some place in USA.

Sometimes it just clicks! I never paid attention to Seinfeld in prime time. But in syndication, I got into the "show about nothing". Big time.
@@MisterMikeTexas it’s weird isn’t it? Same thing with me for The Doors back catalogue, I was just thinking about that a few minutes ago.

Thanks for the reaction video. I first saw KISS in '78 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.
The ticket was just $8.00; I still have the stub.
Proper rock and roll. Great stuff. I agree with you, dad, live is the thing.
Really fun, silliness… Ace played this classic on the “Kiss Alive” album, back in the day… Tommy Thayer does a great respectful version in this performance… He’s not Ace, but then again, who is? 😂
Seen them live multiple times. None better.
KISS' energy on stage is amazing.
Yes it is!
I agree I saw kiss in Oklahoma 2021 at tulsa bok center
Have a lot more respect for Kiss now than when I was younger. As you said, they're not the most technically proficient musicians but you get your money's worth when you a attend a concert. Saw them in Duluth, MN in 1977. The opening band was Uriah Heep.
Recommendation:
Since summer is here how about some surf music? Something from Dick Dale
, Fender IV, The Centurion or The Atlantics
Kiss is fun. They can play.
Almost 50 years later. They have great songs. A great show. Mainstream radio, critics shit on them since their start...but the fans got it . You get it now. Kiss never tried to change the world. Just have fun . Kiss like them or not remain one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time.
Hey Dad, really enjoyed the reaction. Had to look it up but Gene was 61 and Paul was 58 in 2010. Looking forward to more from you, Claire and Walker.
And kiss is kiss you have to love it no matter what they play
Rock Bottom is another great Kiss tune. Videos from their 96 reunion tour of this song are great!
I own a lot of vinyl. This was my band as a teenager. Paul Stanley is the circus master. I adore this band. They were the first band I saw live and it was epic.
Now Dad is getting on the fun.
Never got into Kiss much ..but they do perform an awesome show. Great reaction. Thnx
You did a great job dad is like you and the kids always do
Anyone who attends a Kiss concert ALWAYS Gets their money’s worth. 🤘🏻. This one of their least popular songs but I have always thought of this as top tier.
Thanks, Reaction Dad! I needed that!
Don't be a stranger! 😊
Grew up with KISS. Great song
Good job Dad👍 that's classic KISS. The original band members.

@@jeffschielka7845 At the time, kinda, but I also thought it was funny.
Now, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Kiss like them or not remain one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time
one of my FAVE kiss songs
Nice job dad. Rock never dies!🎧🎧
this is off their 2nd album and you can see their early rock influences in this song and its construction. i've always loved it, especially live
snarky puppy-lingus
It will blow your mind
Great reaction, dad! This performance gets that adrenaline rush. They still have it in them. First time hearing this song as well. 🤘I really enjoy it!
I dig that shirt! 👍

Kiss are MY idols
Great Song, great Concert there in 2010 in my home Germany. Please do a Black Diamond Reaction from a Live Version
Thumbs for this Video, greetings from Germany
Black Diamond 🤘
On the guitar is Tommy Thayer
You should definitely check out the version from Cobo Hall in 1976, it is EXCELLENT even with Gene forgetting the words at the very beginning.
Miss you guys dad
Brian, that's actually Tommy Thayer, not Ace, and Eric Singer on drums, not Peter Criss. STILL a great version of the song!
Ace freely isn't in the band in 2010. Just so you know.... Paul and Gene Are the only originals left.
Love them or not, you cannot deny that Kiss are incredible performers. They are a great band because they have fantastic energy, they put on a great show, and they play really well together live.

Top 5 KISS song ever (live version)
The lead guitarist is Ace Frehley's replacement Tommy Thayer. Please watch and react to MORE KISS...especially the classic 70's era KISS!!
Great job your a natural ljs
Check out the song "Dreams of Milk and Honey" by Mountain (Live At Woodstock '69) Leslie West has an amazing and long guitar solo in it!
Space Ace Frehley is a legend - self taught! his original solos are the best!
And this is not Ace.
Did have a few Blues riffs in it awesome
It's tommy Thayer , Ace left the band in early 2000 check out 1996 reunion tour
Wow I didnt receive this notification
You need too do kiss early 70s
This one will not have Ace Frehley or Peter Criss. This one has Tommy Thayer playing the part of Ace and Eric Singer playing the part of Peter Criss.
i agree but it still rocks

Should have tried an older version with ace playing.
Dont know why he told you Ace sang this
Here is the original from Alive! : ruclips.net/video/_4Ci9ifIBn4/видео.html

Saw them on their reunion tour in 1996 at Madison square garden. Awesome show!!

Nashville?? The music works is bigger than Nashville. Some place in USA. That’s statement by you says a lot. Nashville?
So here is a link for you. 1975 abs a breakthrough album for them. They were broke when this was recorded. The original band and not a half band like you saw with all the money in the world.

Might want to do a bit of research mate.

I'm sorry, KISS is hyped up. I don't think their music is HARD. By any means. It's a midland rock group who everyone knows because of their makeup.
You can't do this unless you are kiss ,or you are on God lovely only kids can be kisd
he said listen to Ace. you didnt
Dear Santa, please put coal in the thumbs-downer's stocking next Christmas! Thanks.
I don't know what other reason it could be, but I'm guessing that it's because of the misinformation/not the original lineup performing the song.
The video is good, though.
Since your kids are reacting to music from your generation, you should really be reacting to music from theirs!
If you did that, the views would not be there.
