      Facts. He legit ranks it as the worst cuz of one ”bad lyric” like bruh? How tf is Flaming Youth worse than Great Expectations? Also maybe Paul meant that young people was fired up and about young people and teens who are kiss fans setting the world on fire with their energy. Even if it didn’t so fucking what if it’s about gay people? A band can sing about whatever they want?
      Let Me Go Rock N’ Roll is an absolute banger? So what if it had that old timey sound a band isn’t necesarily suppoused to follow the current format. Hell, thereare bands today who still make glam metal type music even if it’s not popural.
      And saying that Ace is a better bass player than Gene. Just cuz it’s complicated dosen’t mean it’s good. And just cuz it’s simple dosen’t mean it’s bad.

    3:02 Kissin’ Time was recorded (reluctantly for a promotional campaign and as you said Casablanca released it as a single and added the single to their already released debut album against their wishes.
    KISS reluctantly agreed to record the lyrically updated version of Bobby Rydell's 1959 hit (for Bobby Rydell) Kissin' Time using it in a series of local radio kissing contests designed to boost sales of the album. Apparently they recorded it within 30 minutes… not a bad cover, I personally kinda like it.

    I cannot pick a song from Unmasked as my least favorite. I don’t know why but I absolutely love this album and every song on it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I can’t say anything good about anything on both Sonic Boom and Monster. I first saw KISS on the Crazy Nights tour and that album, to me, is like Unmasked. I absolutely love it and I can’t pick a least favorite song on it. The rest of your picks I agree with.

    • @Redhotlugnut
      @Redhotlugnut Год назад +3

      For me Unmasked is my favorite Kiss album too! I love how much Ace contributed along with Anton Fig playing drums. The production is kinda thin unfortunately with the guitars sounding like they're playing through a 5 watt Fender Champ.
      I'm from Vancouver Island Canada and my Grandparents used to winter in Palm Springs and before they came back they would ask if I wanted anything. I asked for this album on cassette. I remember it had a beige case which was odd, the cassette itself was white and the clear plastic screen on one side was missing. But in 1987 for me this album was almost perfect.
      As a drummer and bass player, Torpedo Girl was the holy grail to be able to play for me and my friends in our early teens. But as this guy mentions, the lyrics are beyond cheezy but I was too busy trying to learn how to play the hi-hat with my left foot on the up beat while playing a kind of syncopated thing with the snare and toms.
      Shandi is a very good song that in my eyes gets glazed over by many critics for whatever reason. Talk to Me and She's So European were great too. Is that you is even a song I crave to hear every now and again.

Some of my all time favorite KISS songs are precisely on your list, hahaha: I do love Kissin' Time, Getaway, Flaming Youth, Then She Kissed Me, Dirty Livin', Torpedo Girl, Odyssey and We Are One. My favorite KISS studio albums, in order, are: 1. Destroyer (I love Great Expectations too!), 2. Love Gun, 3. Unmasked, 4. Dynasty, 5. KISS. I go for song catchiness rather than heaviness and don't really mind lyrics that much when it comes to KISS, so that's why.

    Haven't started watching the video yet but I love that this exists. Once I became a teenager back in 05-07 and started getting into music for the first time, I fell down the KISS rabbithole since they were my Dad's favourite band. I ripped a lot of the Kissology audio and uploaded it as bootlegs on Guitars 101. Fun times.
    The back catalog of KISS is a sort of boomer rock purgatory; what happens when very wealthy people have very bad song ideas yet can afford infinite studio time to ensure that these are packaged and sold as commercial products on a yearly basis.
    There is no set pattern to this chaos but it generally alternates between Gene the narcissistic sex pest, and Stanley Eisen being a more articulate and nuanced sex pest. There is a difference I promise and KISS fans will know what I'm talking about.
    The result is KISS' library being split effectively in two; there are songs the band was proud to play live (even if for a single tour, common with them) and are worth listening to over and over again, and the other half - close to ten whole album's worth - of the worst, most soulless and contrived boomer rock imaginable. Their work ethic is admirable for the sole reason that they wrote and sold as many brutal, soul-crushingly bad songs shoehorned onto good or otherwise great albums, as other bands have written total in their entire discography. This is probably why I love them so much. Their good songs are great, but their bad songs are completely unhinged and insane, and there are so goddamn many of them covering all possible rock subgenres.
    And KISS kept doing it, consistently until 2012, culminating in an entire album worth of forgettable music - their magnum opus. Monster is quintessential KISS. It's so bad I won't listen to it or pretend it exists, just as the band, in live shows, pretends half their discography doesn't exist either. Very meta!
    There are three songs that highlight this: Rockin' in the USA (Alive II), Fits Like a Glove, and Bang Bang You. Even on their most commercially successful albums, the band is creatively bankrupt and borderline retarded. Gene's penis is a snake. Paul's penis, however, is a cannonball! This is the nuance I was talking about. Germany was really neat. Truly we are in the presence of legends.
    Anyways the worst song off HITS is Read My Body.

    There's a few Kiss albums that don't have a bad song at all in my opinion that's the debut Kiss album dress to kill creatures of the night and revenge and also rock and roll over

    I think you are really underrating Gene. I have never really liked "him" as a person; however as a musician myself I will say he really gets ranked poorly and very undeservingly . Listen to Goin Blind, Let Me Know, and even Hard Luck woman. (Going Blind) especially--- these bass lines are killer. He very easily could play Torpedo Girl

    Ace’s solo on ‘Kissin Time’ is superb. ‘Ladies in Waitin’ is the blandest 70s KISS imo. My favourite tracks on Dynasty and Unmasked are your least favourite. 😂 Each to their own. Thanks anyway.

    Man, pretty much every Gene song on Animalize and Asylum are turds of an extreme magnitude lyrically. I swear, on Animalize, he fit as many cliches in there as humanly possible. Burn Bitch Burn is a big offender too. You could have picked any Gene song on those albums and been on the money. You hit the nail on the head as far as Gene phoning it in.

    Music From The Elder was supposed to be a soundtrack to a movie The Elder that was never made, so that was why it was more like a Broadway musical album then a rock album, also I think the song You Wanted the Best was the worst track on Psycho Circus, ad I actually really like Saint and Sinner from Creatures of the Night

    Murder in High Heels-(Burn Gene Burn)
    Radar for Love-(Why Paul... Why...)
    Bang Bang You-(Horrendous)
    Read My Body-(Worst song.. ever🤣)
    Tough Love-(Forgetable)

  • @rdgSWwot
    @rdgSWwot Год назад +3

    Matt, I've been a Kiss fan since '76. I think you're spot on across the board. That said, while there are some good songs on Dynasty.. Dirty Livin' grew on me over the years. The demo was tougher, rougher, grittier (not just lyrically). And to be honest, the fact that it stands so far out from the rest of the tracks, well isn't that the point? Dynasty ultimately failed (from a perspective point of view) simply because Paul wanted to dive into disco and capitalize off that trend.. albeit his timing was horrible bc disco soared years earlier and died out by 1979 year end. For better or worse, I feel Dirty Livin' as a demo was more rock, less disco. Just didn't cut it on a disco album so they altered the time signature to create a disco track. Again, I see your POV. Definitely agree with you on the end result.

  • @ac9559
    @ac9559 Год назад +3

    I love discussions like this. Let Me Go Rock and Roll is a great song, even better on Alive. I also have to stand up for Torpedo Girl. I think it is just good dumb fun.

  • @tythompson4794
    @tythompson4794 Год назад +4

    This was a well done video, and even though I love most songs you’ve picked, I agree.
    Let me go rock and roll is one of my all time favorite songs because I appreciate it for what it is. A pure rock and roll song to jam and solo on. I just love that.
    I’m not a fan of flaming youth, but I would say great expectations is one of the few kiss songs I just can’t get behind.
    Dirty livin is another one of my favorites. The bassline is one of my favorites, but I was a fan of the disco era stuff.
    ~Torpedo girl has a fantastic bassline, I agree.
    Spit is just a crazy song. The musicality of it is really really cool and rocky to me.
    I would like to point out that carnival has some heartfelt stuff on it like you said, including childhoods end and I will be there.
    I would personally take raise your glasses or I’ve finally found my way to be worse. We are one is corny but I do love it.
    Monster and sonic boom suffer a lot because of gene in my opinion. I understand that’s his character but could there not be 100 sexual innuendoes per song?
    -I am a huge fan of Tommy, despite his tracks being subpar, he’s technical and by the books. I like that.
    All this is just my opinion of course and o do thought this was a well thought out list. Apologies for the long comment.
