KISS made their own fame. Makeup and self promotion, forming the Kiss Army in the northeast, got them noticed by record labels. Brilliant business guys. They are all kind guys. ☮️❤️😎☮️
KISS: Paul Stanley - Star Child (guitar and vocals) Gene Simmons - The demon (bass and vocals) Ace Frehely - Space Ace (guitar) Peter Criss - Cat Man (drums) Gene and Paul were really into comics when they were young so they decided to include that into their stage makeup and outfits. They wanted to be the band they never saw. They formed the band in New York City in 1973. They completed their final tour last year. Their very last show was December 2023 at Madison Square Garden in the city where it all started.
Also, when they did interviews they showed up/spoke while "dressed up" in face paint. Then in 1983 they "unmasked" on MTV, which was a big deal and it revitalized their career.
Kiss is one of the top selling bands in history. 44 albums 21 were RIAA certified ( gold and platnum) They have sold over 100 million albums world wide. Those numbers are just staggering not even to mention all the merchandise that's out there everything from T shirts - key chains. Gene Simmons is a business genius. They even had a TV show with his family called Gene Simmons family Jewels. My favorite song by them is Rock n roll all night and party every day.
This is my favorite song of theirs, I know many prefer others but I love this one. Came out in 1979, I was 6 and still listen to it all the time now, lol
FYI - Gene Simmons of Kiss (the bass 'demon' w/ the long tongue who freaked u out!) had his own reality TV show: "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels"... Gene is actually quite a geek... he's always hustlin' w/ business deals, sponsors and TV shows. His longtime girlfriend (now wife) is Playboy model & B-movie actress Shannon Tweed, featured on the show w/ their 2 kids - son Nick and daughter Sophie. Gene Simmons (without the 'demon' makeup) has also appeared on a number of TV shows and B- grade movies over the years.
Gene Simmons, co-founder of the group, is the one in the "Scary" face paint. It is all just their thing, to stand out from other groups. By the way, they are or were on their final tour. Gene and Paul Stanley, the singer are good guys. Do a lot of charity work, and are still going strong with dozens of albums and a huge international following.
Back in the 70’s saw KISS twice, once at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles with Peter Frampton & Cheap Trick opening. Then at Anaheim Stadium with Ted Nugent & Bob Seger opening!! AMAZING shows! My favorite KISS member is Gene Simmons, the fire breathing, blood spewing Demon!! 👅🩸🔥 You know it’s a small world when my hairdresser friend is guitarist Ace Frehley’s‼️
Great disco era song, Kiss was keeping up with times. I loved the group, went to see them in Portland, OR in 2019. They just finished the End of the Road tour about a year ago or so. They rocked crazy for 2 and half hrs..., in their 70's.
LOL the guy you're talking about is Gene the biggest thing about him back in the day that we all talked about was his tongue that's just. Gene that's just how they act this is just kiss😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kiss was so popular when I was a teenager. A lot of parents were acting ridiculous about the group. My mom said that KISS was lingo for" kids in Satan's service". Lmfao
Oh my word! I just found your channel tonight! This is the third video of yours I've watched! You made me spew my drink everywhere making me laugh so hard! Doink the Clown! Awesome!!! Thanks for the laughs and fun!
There is an interview with Gene Simmons (aka Doink) where he said this was his least favorite song. I think some of the acting was likely in protest. KISS does have some bangers, Detroit Rock City, I Wanna Rock ‘n Roll All Night, Calling Dr. Love, and Beth are all classics. If you want to hear Paul Stanley (guy who was singing) really sang check out the acoustic version of “I Still Love You”.
They wanted to be the band they never saw.Theatrical,high energy.They created these characters to match their personality.(co-founder Paul Stanley "Starchild" wanted to be a rock star from an early age.Gene Simmons (co founder / bass) "The Demon" loved old horror movies.Ace Frehley (guitar) "Spaceman"loved science fiction Peter. Criss (drums)"Catman" thought he had 9 lives,growing in rough Brooklyn hung around gangs
This was when KISS put some Disco influence into their music and a lot of the hardcore fans hated this song, but I love it, YUNGBLUD recently did a cover of this song
Ok you had this 55 year old woman rolling on the floor lauging so hard. Thank you so much I really needed a smile tonight and I have found a new reactor I cannot wait to watch things you have done content on. Out of Curiosity have you heard of the Artist Ren from the UK?
I love that expression on your face when you see them on screen for the first time!! That's Kiss. The Demon, is Gene Simmons. He is known, outside of the group, for having a long tongue, and he has boasted many times about having bedded thousands of women. In 2010, he claimed the tally stood at 5,000 and that he has a Polaroid picture of each liaison, including the hotel key where it took place.[32] After their wedding, when Shannon found the key for the lockboxes containing the photos (confirming at least that much of the rumors), after a "loving confrontation" with Gene, she had every single Polaroid burned on national television during the final season of their reality show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" He is currently married to his wife, Canadian actress and former Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed. He also previously had live-in relationships with Cher and Diana Ross.
I was 5 when I swiped my oldest brother's Double Platinum tape and played it to death. I finally got to see them in 90 or 91, I was very disappointed that it was during the no-makeup stint. It was nonetheless a fabulous show. It was also great that in the video Gene was playing a guitar shaped like an ax. If I remember right guitar players call their instrument an ax, lol.
Gene Simmons is the one youre scared of bro. His persona was The Demon. KISS was ALL ABOUT the fans, the KISS Army. Someone asked Gene once 'which is more important: the fame or the money?', Gene replied 'the audience is most important. Its our job to make damn sure they get their moneys worth.'. Fun Fact: Gene Simmons and his mother fled war torn Israel when he was 8 years old. When they came to America they lived in a tiny studio apt in NY. Every night when tv channels would sign off the air, the National Anthem would play. Gene and his mom would get up and stand with their hands on their hearts while the song played. They appreciated America. Something that is a rare thing these days.
Lmao!! Reaction was funny! If you really want to get into a band that sets the tone for the ladies. You’ll have to check out Deftones and the song Digital Bath. This beat and sound of the song makes you think it’s a sexy song but then when you read the lyrics you realizes it takes you to a whole another place! Chino’s ( the lead singer) voice, Abe’s (drummer) beats, and Stephen’s riffs is why they say Let’s Deftones and Chill!!!
They´re doing make-up while on stage bc off their jobs before they got famous: math teacher, taxi driver and other "normal jobs" in town. They are the real "Hannah Montannas" ;)
I remember back in the 80s Oprah Winfrey asked Gene Simmons how long his tongue was …Gene Simmons told her it was long enough to make her his best friend😂 😳😛
Kiss is a sentimental fave of mine since I loved them when I was 8 yrs old.. this is def not the right intro for kiss, this is their disco song.. try detroit rock city
Gene Simmons (bass/ vocals) of Kiss is the 'demon' character w/ the giant tongue 😝... Believe it or not, he was the most popular character in Kiss and the ladies all lined up round the block to have sex w/ him 😂That's why Gene is always in the video's close shots... Gene said that Kiss opened for Black Sabbath on tour around 1975(?) and he was in full costume and makeup and introduced himself to Sabbath's bassist Geezer Butler in character... He said Geezer freaked out and ran off 😂
If you dislike disco, I would suggest Daft Punk like woah. Other than some obscure funk that people called disco...daft punk is probably the only disco based music that I think is goated. (Niles Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, tons of awesome samples and studio recordings? Epic af.) Nu Deco Ensemble has a really fire concert they called "Humans vs. Robots"(a daft punk suite)....and it is kinda amazing.
You should, just for yourself, watch the movies and TV with KISS in them. It'll make more sense then, I think. I dressed up like Star Child for Halloween as a kid in the 80s. They're really not scary. They are/were very popular with women.
All four guys sing in this group. Mostly the guy you're hearing now and the one you don't like do most of the singing but the other two sing as well and they all have separate albums and they just retired not that long ago
JT relax this is just kiss a more mellow song is called Beth if you do the song Beth you will have a more positive reaction instead of being scared of them it's okay it's a 1970s thing if you really want to freak out do Alice Cooper LOL we just had a weird era it is called the 70s the 70s was just a really strange trippy era to grow up and grow through it was really strange these people are the tip of the iceberg of what we used to listen to and everything not everybody was into the group KISS I was not the only song I enjoyed is called Beth just relax everything's okay this was quote on quote normal in the 70s if you cannot handle kiss do not do anything from Alice Cooper❤❤❤❤❤❤ shadow
What Are Your Favorite Songs By Kiss??
ruclips.net/video/rP1yzK2KKSs/видео.htmlsi=eKHALCp3sWxY-iFt

Black Diamond (from Alive! version)

No he doesn't look like her. I've been listening to this group ever since I was I was about 8 years old (never scared me). I freaking love them.

Oh yes that's kiss that's just their style everything you saw that's just kiss that's just their style. take it easy it's okay😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't take the creepy staring personally. 😂😂

Who can forget the Scooby Doo movie featuring KISS. AMERICAN LEGENDS FOR SURE.

They have been on their final tour 20 times by now.
Doink aka Gene Simmons was the demon of the group, The singer is the lover, The drummer is the Cat man, and on lead guitar Ace the Spaceman
Yes that is their style. It was a play on Alice Cooper and that w/o makeup you'd never recognize them.
1974 my first concert Kiss and Cheap Trick opened for them!
This is Kiss’s Disco song, which I love and hardcore Kiss fans hate 🤣🤣🤣 Get him off the effing TV! Hahaha!!!!!
There are no answers, never needed one in the 70’s we were just along for the ride. And it was a wild one. 😅😂
I was in School when this came out. We bought the albums and listened all night, great job
Back in the 70’s saw KISS twice, once at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles with Peter Frampton & Cheap Trick opening. Then at Anaheim Stadium with Ted Nugent & Bob Seger opening!! AMAZING shows!

I loved KISS back in the day. Mom was praying for me, Dailey lol
The kiss army is still alive and kicking today
I had the honor of working with these guys
Great disco era song, Kiss was keeping up with times. I loved the group, went to see them in Portland, OR in 2019. They just finished the End of the Road tour about a year ago or so. They rocked crazy for 2 and half hrs..., in their 70's.

That was an awesome reaction 😂😂😂😂
Kiss was so popular when I was a teenager. A lot of parents were acting ridiculous about the group. My mom said that KISS was lingo for" kids in Satan's service". Lmfao
P.S. Kiss stopped wearing the makeup in 1983. The music didn't get any better, but you might at least feel safer watching the videos.
Only for a decade, by the mid 90’s they were wearing the makeup again
@@DarkAngel1985Mike Quite right. Shows how close I was paying attention.
😁😂
Oh my word! I just found your channel tonight! This is the third video of yours I've watched! You made me spew my drink everywhere making me laugh so hard! Doink the Clown! Awesome!!! Thanks for the laughs and fun!
I never laughed so hard at a reaction. You're killing me. Keep it up man!

Gene Simmons is married to a former super model. (Doink) I was a teen when Kiss was huge and girls loved them! 😁
They´re doing make-up while on stage bc off their jobs before they got famous: math teacher, taxi driver and other "normal jobs" in town. They are the real "Hannah Montannas" ;)
