love guitarists that nail that Deuce solo. true fans!
Love how Gene’s amp is turned up.
It’s a great bassline
Gene Simmons kicking ass. Even when Gene is in casual behavior and relaxed, once the music starts the demon begins to emerge uncontrollably and he always delivers a killer performance.
Getting to play with an original member of KISS is beyond crazy awesome
It's good still seeing and hearing Gene up there. Cool band too.
After 50 years of performing in the largest venues in the world countless times, he's obviously very comfortable in the club setting as well and that is awesome. The man is a legend.
Funny how Gene was trying to slow them down through the whole song 😂
This a musicians dream . How few people can say they've played with Gene Simmons.
Absolutely!
I saw kiss 1976 in Cali... great thrill for these kids ... and gene plays bass very well ... 👍
Gene is a Legend, toured for 50 years yet shows up at a small club and jams away!
A legendary tool
That was so cool! Thanks for posting!!!
This is REALLY cool! It's easy to forget that Gene Simmons is a musician... he's just a guy who plays music with a band. To see some of his unscripted moves and gestures with the guys in this clip shows him having fun!
Thank you for sharing this!
You're very welcome! It was a lot of fun to have Gene come out as a surprise guest. It's a relatively small venue, and it's always great to see legends like this in intimate settings.
Unscripted? Have you seen a KISS show? He's been making the same "unscripted" arm gestures during Deuce for decades. He does the same thing with his solo band now. Also, Gene has readily told other bassists that he thinks he's a shitty player. He's certainly not technical. He does simple things well. I think he'd say he's an entertainer first and a musician second. He's still a rock legend regardless.
Okay. Frick. I'll admit.
THAT was absolutely SMOKING!
You can tell even Gene was impressed and having a good time.
He is trying to slow down the drummer who changes the tempo constantly. I don’t think Gene is doing this again any time soon.
@@kobbetop you’re a midi reader!!!
Drummers motto, "who need to come back in on the One Beat."
That would help him 😊
Aw c'mon, give the guy a break. nerves, playing live. Everyone makes little mistakes. The sign of good musicians is that they picked up and sorted it.
@@leth9320 he played for a lot of years. You know if he can play with Dave Grohl being the drummer that he is pretty dope he’s good.
@@leth9320for sure
Damn, that drummer’s timing is more erratic than Peter’s coke and booze-fueled drumming on the Dynasty tour…
Harsh man, he is a kid
How cool was that? Imagine your cover band is playing in a club and Gene Simmons asks if he can sit in on a Kiss song. WOW.
That guitarist was tight
that's cos he also plays in Gene Simmons Band.
Brent Woods--great player
@@SHOUTband tone is right on!
@@jamesfarrell8346 YES
Gene has the skills and experience to assemble a band and artistically develop them to where they could record an album for his resurrected Simmons records label!!!!!
SAW THEM LIVE ABOUT '75 OR '76! BACK WHEN THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY UP AND HADN'T STARTED PLAY THE "COMMERICAL ROCK" THAT GOT THEM FAMOUS.
THEY WERE YOUNG AND GREAT!
I saw them in 1977 or 78 , with a little known opening act - Van Halen. Both were off the charts insane.
@@johnhead6116 HA! AMAZING! I ALSO SAW A LOCAL BAND AND THEY PLAYED IN LOCALS BARS AND I WAS A YOUNG BEGINNING GUITARIST AND WHILE ON BREAK IN THIS SMALL BAR AND VERY FEW PEOPLE THERE, I WENT BACK TO THE BREAK ROOM AND "TOY" SHOWED ME AND LET ME PICK HIS LES PAUL GUITAR...ABOUT A YEAR LATER THEY GOT THEIR BREAK WITH CAPRICORN RECORDING..... THEY ARE WELL KNOWN:
*THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND*
Gene was curious how much the door took in and what would be his split with the band members.
Gene seemed pretty chill & obviously there for fans.
He stalled at the beginning to make time to set up his own merch table out front!
The drummer is Shane Hawkins. Taylor Hawkins 16 year old son. He is just young and playing with pros.
Don’t care who he is, he sucks.
And it's all a good time fills and all
He's 17
He’s 16. Will be 17 in August, but yes you’re right. He’s young and full of energy. He tends to uptempo the songs naturally and I think Gene consistently redirecting him to lower the tempo kind of threw him for a bit of a loop, but it’s all good. Lessons from a great. Every good musician needs moments like this to continue developing their skills. ❤
@@Elizabeth-ic4yr Shane Hawkins is born 4th august 2006. Start counting
Gene can sing and play still very well
Turrible!
I guess we watched two different performances. 😆
@@BiblicalMuse just another hater! Why? Gene here plays and sings well. Whats the problem? You frustrated?
@@mooch514 yes. When someone has a different opinion you should assume they are dealing with some deep-seated frustration and in need of professional help. 🤣
I just noticed that Gene's improvisations were random and out of key. That's all. No reason to get all worked up.
I'm sure drummer is a nice guy but...cardinal sin of drummers is to speed up tempo when doing fills. Lock into the tempo and the song will have more power.
If you go back and listen to KISS during the Carr/Kulick era they sped up the old songs big time!!
Poor guy was shot out of a cannon excited I'm sure. Gene was working him the whole song to slow down. He did fine. And tempo shifts are what make rock n roll... Stewart Copeland shifts tempo like crazy, and people think he's a pretty ok drummer.
@@SiloSoundStudios You're comparing apples and pizza. Deuce does not have any tempo or time signature changes in it. There's a difference between playing ahead or behind the beat and what took place it this vid. Also, if Stewart is going to change tempo in a song like this ot would for sure be planned. This is not a free form jam song where stuff like tempo changes randomly happen. It's simple meat n potatoes rock. To be fair, please cite the Stewart Copeland song you were referring. Cheers.
@@medievaltimes6473 ummmmm. Can't stand losing you. He's just excited and Gene is trying, and doing a great job btw, of pulling him down and getting him into the pocket.
Young drummer was too busy before the song and very inconsistent on speed. That was awful. That’s job #1
Gene still sounds great voice and bass lines
Awesome to see Gene can still sing and play live!! Respect!!!
Geno
Great to see you up there!¿
The kid needs more experience. I'm sure he can get there. His playing was all over the place especially the snare rolls leading to the guitar solo and to end the song.
I’m Sure, he hasn’t even heard this song before
@@ricksurratt9034 did he tell you that?
@@sinnernik I guess I’m not sure but it’s irrelevant
Man that took a while to get started
OMG, holy sht! No fkn way! Dayum dude, chill.
great version!
Killer take with great vocals, bass, lead guitar, and yes drums a bit dialed up but cool jam!!!!!!!!👍🤘🏻🎸🥁🎤🎶🎵⚡️😎
People often forget how amazing bass player Gene Simmons actually is. He is very good. And he still has the voice despite the age (unlike Paul Stanley).
No… he’s not a great player but he is a rock star. And that’s ok. They call him Doctor Love 😎
Gene sounds great. Guitar player was spot on. Not sure what the drummer was doing. Maybe he was building a shack back there, idk. Still, would’ve loved to have seen that.
Uncle Gene rocks the place
Grandpappy Gene!
Your name only gets you so far, I don't consider myself good but I could play that song,intime, Alive 1,in my sleep
Looks FUN!
This is Gene at his best
Gene looks great.
Happy to see Gene getting out there and enjoying himself
Gene you need to dump the leathers 😂
FUCK'N AWESOME !!!!!
🤘😎🤘🌴☀️🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸
It's a great song from the day & cool even though it's a little night club thing....compare it with the old days when it was about 120 decibel level, huge flames & spitting blood haha
Gene still lookin,soundin,and playin well. KISS may be over but Gene and Paul will probaly keep performing till they can't nomore.🤟🔥🔥🔥
Paul's Stool Station might do another tour with about 15 backing vocalists to hide his strangled emu voice crack.
I've been having the same problem with drummers for 45 years
Yeah I have to agree with you ,Good Drummers are hard to come by kinda like good vocalist everyone thinks they can sing until you put a mic in their face and a crowd in front.of them then everything changes well except the ego problem that never stops.
Thank you for capturing this! So much going on here!
You’re very welcome! It was such a fun show!
That’s old school kick ass rock right there. Raw and in your face. Gene is kicking ass and still bringing it. Nice Fender P Bass.
Love that the crowd got this. never liked KISS, but what a fun show this must've been
Q: what did the drummer get on his S.A.T?
A: drool
* A drummer told me that one
FANTASTIC
How cool was that, Gene Simmons shows up to a concert and joins in? 🤘🏼😝🎸
Gene Simmons. Always the consummate professional! Sweet.
think Gene should have done stuff like this a long time ago. Very nice to sit in with the younger guys. Would have been nice if you could HEAR THE VOCALS. Les Paul guy should try a Strat. Firebird guy has it right, good tone and blend. Johnny Winter loved the Firebird. Again, very nice to see Gene without that makeup and costume. Personally I like his bass style on this. I mean Gene on a P bass?? wow
Thanks for nailing the guitar solo.
That band needs a drum machine
Gene's vocals sound awesome! Sounds like Alive!
It's nice to see Gene and the band playing and singing live instead of backing tracks.
God of Thunder ⚡️🎼🎶🖤 🙌
its like 1975 all over again BRILLIANT
Pretty amazing how Whizins turned into a club and then Gene Simmons played there. As a huge Kiss fan in the 70s...Mind blown...
nice wig
Gene is less animated without his makeup but still very entertaining.
wow how cool was that DAMMM
Not being rude I've been playing drums for over 50 years that drummer needs a click track
His time was definitely all over the place. But I imagine the chance to play with Gene Simmons spiked his adrenaline super high. You can even tell before they started playing, he had all this nervous energy. A chance of a lifetime.
No worse than Peter Criss on most nights 🤣
Peters meter was fine…he just played everything fast! This guy is all over the place.
The kid needs lessons. Too much bashy with no control.
Yeah. He’s 17 and plays every bit like an excited 17 year old. Not really listening to anyone else and showing off his chops instead of just playing for the song.
I’ve had countless drum students like Shane over the years. They usually figure it out after they’re yelled at enough about their time by other musicians. lol.
whats with the Drummer ? so off and fast
Gene sounds great, drummer got a bit excited
That might have been the first time Shane ever played Deuce. Give him a break :)
The drummer needs to listen to Alive I - no swing or feel to his playing.
Give him a break, he's just a teenager and will have time to learn. I seriously doubt he's even listened to Alive I. While most kids his age are still growing pubes, he's playing with a rock icon and other professional musicians.
It sounds and appears to me that he's in this band because of who his dad was, not because he's the new chopmaster general. My ears tell me Taylor should have gotten him a metronome for his 8th birthday. But hey - it's only rock and roll not saving the world so what the hell it doesn't sound that great it's still fun.
NOW THIS IS COOL!
I have no idea why these legends like Gene have agreed to play a gig like this. I know from the comments that the drummer is a teenager but his skill level is just not there yet. The tempo goes all over the place and Gene has an embarrassed awkward smile on his face the whole time.
All that random playing while Gene is trying to get set up is so unnecessary. He's obviously got a lot to learn
Gene tried multiple times to get the drummer to chill just a touch but that obviously didn’t work, lol.
Guitar solo vibrato was spot on true to the spirit of kiss
Shane needs to cut out the constant fills between songs. Good young drummer, but that is amateur behaviour. And yes, Gene was telling Shane to bring it down-and rightfully so-he was rushing like crazy. Not meaning to be critical of him at all, just some professional advice.
ADDED A DAY LATER-I’ve never once said Shane isn’t a good drummer-or potentially a GREAT drummer. He IS. He just needs to learn a few of the musical and behavioural building blocks of being a working pro player, that’s all. I for one hope he goes far and has a great career-he’s a powerhouse of energy-just like his dad was.
He's fine.
@@paulharding706 no, he’s not. I do this for a living-if he intends to proceed into a career in music,, he needs to learn to tighten up. Im not knocking him at all-great young drummer. But it’s a professional no-no.
@glengamble526 don't care if you're professional or not. There's no right or wrong with music. It's preference. What one person likes, another may not. I think he's fine. I like it.
@@paulharding706 Spoken by a true amateur.
Think whatever you want. Cheers!
Eddie trunk stated the same too on his show....just a teenager. You harped on a teen😮DA
Mr. Virgo ♍️ still got some Juice 🥤 😢😮😅😊
All HAIL THE DEMON!
one of the last true stadium rock stars still out and enjoying jamming in a small club ... go Gene... been listening since it all started.
Good on ya Gene! Take it back to the clubs!
Gene looks good with a Fender p bass
Turn the mic up!
Loved Gene’s grisly bass tone , can tell me what was the pedal on the floor that was adjusted to get his sound over driving the Ampeg just before the song started?
He’s a child.
No, literally. He’s a teenager. Still learning. Might need to do HS band a bit more.
Guitar player did his homework ! Nice job :)
Gene's feeling the adrenaline of playing with 3 young guns laying it down hard & kickin' his a_ _ ! 😄
Loud guy in audience going nuts!
Love the drummer behind the bass rig😂
The drummers tempo was all over the place.
Very cool!
As a KISS fan since 1975 I will say its a good performance and how I wish KISS were these past 10 years (stripped down without all the flash...let the music speak). But come on Gene...people were ecstatic to see you...at least engage with them a little bit before and after the song even if it did not cost them thousands $$$ to stand near stage or that they did not pay for a "meet and greet" with you.
Ace would of given the guitarist a big thumbs up...
We are soooooooo much cooler than our grandparents!!! 😂😂😂😂
The Emperor is naked.
Gene turned around and said settle down and slow it down young man with his eyes
I see a lot of comments about Shane’s playing.
His time is everywhere.
And that’s why Shane didn’t take over for his dad in the Foo Fighters and Josh Freese did. He simply plays like a 17 year old kid. Mostly because he’s a 17 year old kid. lol. He’ll figure it out,
but somebody needs to tell him the truth and be brutally honest and make him practice to a metronome.
Gobsmacked. F'real. Dang!
Who is the guitar player with the black les paul
His name is Brent Woods
'you're like a bad rhythm baby, your ALL over town'
Gene was trying to get the drummer to slow down
That guitar players tone, feel and solo was on point. Drummer needs musical maturity...it'll come. Pretty awesome.
Gene got the itch!
His voice sounds great. I think with the whole Kiss lip syncing thing, he was always actually singing and not doing that.
It was painful listening to the drummer. With experience the drummer will learn to listen to the vocalist of whatever band he is in and if the singer is struggling to keep up with the lyrics it’s too fast and if the singer is hanging to long to a word it’s too slow. A young guy getting caught up in the emotion and adrenaline pushing him past the point of tempo. Still it’s all good!! It’s still worth the $1000 he paid Gene to do the show.
Yeah the drummer was all over the place but so was Peter Criss on most nights 🤣
That guy in the audience. Chill
