The condescending way Gene and Paul talk about Peter and others is nauseating to me. I can't stand people who act like that. 😕 Gene especially talks in a way that makes it seem like he's looking down at you. Like he's more important than you. Like if a fire suddenly started in the building you were in, he'd expect you to let him leave first... and for you to hold the door open for him too!

The unmasking event on MTV was, at best, underwhelming. This video shows how small scale and even pathetic it was. As if they were on some local TV station late-late night show at 3am.

By then, Paul Thtanley was seeing a therapist (shrink) for his insecurities for many years. The thing about Thtanley is that just like Gene, he had no friends outside the band. When the show or the recording session is over, Peter, Ace, Vinnie, Mark, Bruce, Eric Carr, Eric Singer, Tommy, Anton, etc… all went out for beers or a late dinner with friends, family, roadies. Not Gene or Paul who were better than the peasants. Frank Zappa was the same with his band. Good composer and performer but a bitter lonely man. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the same. No friends, just work. Miserable people. Gene’s Roast was attended by none of the members of KISS and had to pay professional comedians to tell jokes. Sad. Paul is even worse.

Adding your pathetic sound effects make this unwatchable.

Great video. One complaint is the stupid comedy skits.

Once KISS took of their trademark makeup, they became just another boring and lame band. They could've kept the makeup on the entire time but they should have made much better albums than the 4 solo KISS albums, "Dynasty," "Unmasked" and "Music From The Elder." Many fans bailed out because of those lackluster and "unKISS albums!" 🙄

I think Paul is too hard on ”The Elder” and ”Unmasked”. Both have solid song writing. They are different, not bad.

Because you added all the stupid sound effects you made this unlistenable.

Kiss weren’t playing soccer stadiums, as Gene says, in Australia. They were playing cricket grounds (apart from Lang Park, a rugby league ground), which are much larger.

I love these. Never stop making them, thank you.

Gene and Paul are such azzholes .

I would call untouched Vocal and Drum trax on Kiss Alive being something GREAT to the table, paul stanley. grow up

Peter Criss sucked as a drummer.

I think Paul is too judgmental about other people's hearts.

Awesome!...Great editing and production 👌

I always preferred Peter’s voice out of the lot of them. Paul’s is too whiny for my liking.

It's odd how Gene n Paul cling to the Creatures album. During the 80s they played more off it than they played their current album they were actually touring for. Creatures is okay, mostly bland music with laughable lyrics that reek of desperation. Danger, war machine, killer,,,,,lol really guys. Paul going on bout how he lives on edge is so fake

Peter doesn't get credit he deserves Kiss was better with him.

Gene's tunes with the Beatlemania guys are my favorite. Every time I hear "Always Near You" my entire consciousness goes to 1977/78, and I can see Fall and Halloween, see the color change in the sky and smell the burning leaves. I really wish KISS wouldn't have gone the way it did for 20+ years after the reunion. It's fvcking depressing.

Gene and Paul are so jealous of Beth. Paul goes on about the many takes of the vocal part, that's all a part of recording process isn't it. So Paul and Gene's recorded parts were all one takes? Telling such stories only weaken their legacy in my opinion.

Good album but I think I prefer the ALIVE III version of Creatures of the Night.

I like this cause its '78 and kiss was still larger than life then

Paul talks differently in these narrations than he does in interviews or audio clips from the early days. With the early stuff you can really hear the kind of "street" New York accent. Here, he sounds more like, "Mr. Intellectual ". It's weird. Just an observation.

When I was 9 years old I'd come home from school and fire up the TV to watch 'Speed Racer' and 'Battle of the Planets'. It was during this time that KISS was selling a silver satin jacket with the Dynasty faces on the back. Everyday my best friend and I would wait for the commercial to air and when it did, we'd call each other up afterward and compare notes on what we saw. It was a MAJOR deal for us back then to come across ANY video of the band because that's just how it was back then. If something like KZbin were available back then, we would have never left the house.

KISS stopped being KISS after the Love Gun tour. KISS is Ace, Paul, Peter and Gene in costumes and make up playing heavy metal music. Why they changed their music style still makes no sense to me.

1979 Gene's trying to protect the 6yo

Ace was the most talented one. I think their first 3 albums rocked!!! Alive was the peak for Kiss. Downhill slide from '76 on.

Seems everyone around gene and paul turn to drugs.... wonder why

Second chance, for a living legend drummer who was a founding member as well? Piss off Stanley and Gene

Every time I hear Paul's comments, everyone is at fault, everyone is flawed. Him ?? Nope. He is perfect. What an egomaniac.

Oh my God they all needed large amounts of therapy!!!

Paul McCartney isn't Paul McCartney.

Didn't Peter do a solo album with Gene producing and Ace playing guitar on it

Awesome great documentary cheers from Canada 🍻

Jesus Horatio Hornblower, listening to Simmons pontificate about his views on music and his famous guests, while subjecting us to his self absorbed ego while boring us to tears is unbearable. I had to fast forward this one.

I'm sorry I don't see why this album was so successful

Ironic they had to put the makeup back on to keep from going bankrupt because apparently people prefer to watch people in makeup sing and play

Gene,Paul GROW UP !!!!!! Ace GROW UP too!!! 👿 You used Eric's uncertainty of things against him 😡 You pushed him over the edge, eventually killing him😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Praying that you are ALL punished for ALL of you " ways" with Eric and everyone else you have tormented 😈😈😈😈😈 You will ALL be repaid according to your works, and there is NO PARTIALITY 👿👿👿👿👿👿

Anybody know what the song that starts about 6:03 is?

Ace...what a SPAZZ. LoL But I like him that way ........

HTH: The production is really poor. Surprised they can't do some cleanup to make it much better. The album has a few solid songs Parasite, Got To Choose, Strange Ways, Watchin' You.

In my opinion, kiss should have quit after ”Alive 2” Kiss for me is the seventies, and yeah they do some good stuff in the eighties and the nineties. But the seventies is KISS!

Ace sounds kinda like Ozzy, with the differnce being you can understand him 😄

Vini has a terrible guitar tone.

My favorite of the solo albums is Paul’s. Best lyrics, vocals and production. Not a bad song on that album; in fact “Wouldn’t You Like to Know Me” should have been a major hit.

underrated album. great album

I was thinking that I read somewhere that Bob Kulick dud the Danger solo.

Poison's first album wasn't released until 1986. Not sure how teenage girls were following them in 1983.

make another one this is great please

Paul sounding like dusty rhoads lol
