You need to react to “I Still Love You” from the acoustic MTV Unplugged back in 1996. You really get to hear Paul Stanley’s true vocals when he was in his prime!

[@lamia.thira.lowenstein]

they have the most fun riffs. their songs are all about fun

[@Nopper23]

In his prime Paul Stanley also played the phantom for the toronto production of phantom of the opera in 1999 So its much more than rock an roll.

[@GilbertClark]

Back in 1977/78 as a 9/10 year old kid, a classmate brought KISS Alive II to class for end of year party...that was my first true exposure to ROCK and fell in love with the music and had to have my mom take me to the store and get that album. Been a ROCK and METAL fanatic ever since. Thanks for the rawr-action. Rock and Roll All Nite Beth.

[@prefersoxygen9373]

One of the most played live songs of all time if not the most. KISS was a rare combination of 4 singers, 4 musicians, 4 characters and a group spectacle. They created an army and a marketing brand. Just awesome Love Beth worrying about the instruments at the end 😂

[@morgananderson9647]

Loved the pure joy that emanated from you in this reaction!!!

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Keep on dancing Beth!! You got amazing dance moves 🎶🎶🎸🎸

[@allanh5618]

I consider Paul Stanley, of KISS, one of the great Rock vocalists. "I Still Love You," is one of his many examplars. And, I came appreciate KISS extremely late, like in the past few years. Link to an 'unplugged' live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2qXgp6Ih7Z-fZY

[@tracyjohnson8057]

The energy at a KISS concert is amazing. I have seen them in concert 3 times. The last time was Psycho Circus where I took my 14 year old daughter to her first real rock concert. She was actually more interested in the platform boots but she was hoarse from screaming at the end of the night, and Paul spit a pick right at her feet. Needless to say she is a fan for life lol.

[@timreno72]

KISS was my first concert ever in Reno, NV. @ Lawler Event Center when I was just 12yo. I remember the tickets price back then was an outrageous $12.....who knew? I've now seen them twice, once w/ makeup and once without.

[@ginao8935]

Same!!! 12 bucks for a ticket and I had to save up for it lol

[@shinigamikuroshitsuji336]

The Kiss concerts were a great experience, lots of fireworks, the energy of the people, the adrenaline. concerts like this are rare nowadays

[@coachjdc]

Paul and Gene are tremendous performers and showmen. They've been doing it for over 50 years!

[@ginao8935]

Kiss was never about the vocals, lyrics, or the greatest musicians in the world. What drove the entire show was just the whole spectacle of the thing. Back in the 70’s this was so radical and unheard of that you just couldn’t help but love them. 😊

[@marceloevera2009]

true... lyrics, musicianship, vocals...pretty crappy

[@glenby2u]

According to them, it was about giving everyone a great night. While this concert was after ~20 years of vocal and body abuse, they still put it out there. Detroit rock city, i was made for lovin you are also designed to get you out of your set.

[@mrtveye6682]

Right. "Musical excellence" from a technical point of view was never their priority it was always about the show, about entertainment and having a good time. But besides that, they are not even bad singers. Not great singers, but this live recording is really not doing them justice. They are pretty on point in the studio, and there are live recordings where they are doing a lot better.

[@Rafael-pi4md]

​@@marceloevera2009 my favorite bands ever arent composed of excepcional musicians, so you are wrong, music is about how it makes people feel 👍

[@marceloevera2009]

@@Rafael-pi4md neither are mine...but kiss sucks....lyrics are mediocre, half assed musicians but money hungry.. vc deve ser fa de calipso tambem , so pode

[@colinvos4443]

I first saw Kiss live in 1975 at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium in Ontario Canada. The show was fantastic. Now I'm 70. I was 22 at the time. Great review Beth.

[@Reardonsteel236]

Paul Stanley, the guy with the star, on the other hand has a GREAT voice. Listen to " I still love you" the unplugged version and prepare to be amazed!

[@frankie467]

I would LOVE to hear you analyze Paul Stanley’s voice (the dude with the star on his eye). Check out their performance from MTV Unplugged of him singing the song “I Still Love You”.

[@toddrinehart7075]

That is probably his best live. But I prefer strutter from Melbourne. I like the song strutter a lot better than I still love you.

[@kirbybailey607]

You are absolutely right Beth,it's the energy that takes the crowd to place they want to be!@!

[@martingothberg3593]

I just love KISS! Seen them twice now their showmanship is fantastic. I really like thier music and combining that with the stage performance and all the lights and pyrotechnics makes one hell of a show. When I se them last year they filled more or less filled the entire arena with confetti and balloons

[@keruetz]

Kiss is so much fun. I attended a concert in the mid 70's during the same tour they recorded Kiss Alive!. For me, their studio albums are almost an after thought (after Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Love Gun) but live there is nobody more fun. I've seen them every time I could over the years. Rock and roll fun personified.

[@mpierce3]

KISS is all about the show not about the musicianship or their singing It was by far the best concerts I have ever seen I seen them 10 times since 1976 never been disappointed.

[@lasse0201]

I love Kiss Beth, they are such an amazing and fun band to listen to. Would love to see you do more reactions to them, i for one would really like to see that. :)

[@danilorodriguez3286]

Depending on the song, Kiss has different singers. In this case, that's Gene (less caring with technics). If you wanna check the best vocal quality you gotta choose a song in which Paul Stanley is the singer. Songs like "Love Gun", "Forever" and "Heaven's on fire" (check the performances in Kiss "Alive III" and "Alive IV"). Regards from Brazil

[@pattymacleod1210]

Thanks for doing this! Loved that you were rockin' along with the song. 50 years of Kiss is coming to an end on December 2nd so seeing this is bittersweet.

[@toddwebb6216]

I saw KISS at the Gourge at George, WA last November, the best concert I have ever seen....wish I could have brought you with me Beth. I would have smiled at you as they played / sung ...the song BETH. It is a very good Ballad, that describes a rockers life, on the road.

[@aerialarboreal9005]

I was 12yrs old when this song dropped and I was hooked in seconds, been a life long fan ever since the Paul Lynd Halloween Special (their first BIG TV performance)... I was bouncing all over my Mom's living room!! She didn't get it... lol

[@feertpj6802]

Nice reaction 😊 I saw Kiss live for the first time a few months ago and I understood why they're such a legendary band. I recommend you check out the swedish metal band Avatar.🤘🏻

[@markmilling9210]

Beth, you and Kiss belong together. You rock!!!

[@SudsyMedusa53]

Absolutely legendary band

[@chriso6719]

Yep, the band is all about the show. 'Beth' is a ballad sung by the original drummer ,Peter Criss. Saw them on the reunion tour in the 90's, Peter performed that song acapella.

[@cecarvalho25]

My favorite band of all time !!!

[@NewBritainStation]

Gene’s “Kiss voice” is different from his regular singing voice. He adds the growl intentionally. Some of his solo material, plus many of the background vocals in Kiss are his regular voice. All four original members, and several of the later members, sing live. Peter Criss (the drummer here) has an incredible “screamy” voice, and Ace’s is very unique and laid-back. To hear all of them sing lead listen to Black Diamond (Peter), Shock Me (Ace), and Strutter (Paul).

[@uredbulldawg]

I always love watching Beth be her vocal coach self when breaking down videos, but it was kinda nice to watch her just enjoy herself while extolling the virtues of grungy vocals and not having to be a great singer to be a great performer.

[@bert0522]

Our band Jasmine had just opened two shows for Leo Kottke at SIUE in 75, then we did a street dance for Halloween. We we an acoustic/electric folk rock band. Funny Kiss had a concert in St. Louis that night and ya could see a lot of little Kiss faces in the crowd. What a night. Jim

[@Wraithlen]

The greatest concert I've ever been to. Period. Just...hard to put into words. :)

[@edwheaton4418]

Love your reaction to this Beth,thank you so much for enjoying this as much as I do. I agree perfection has its place…..sometimes you just want to rock out and let loose.

[@MetalPersonJ]

Nice, Beth! A classic song, but there's better vocal performances from KISS. I Still Love You from Kiss Unplugged is amazing. Lick It Up from Rock The Nation (or Alive IV) brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

[@Reardonsteel236]

I just said the same thing mate👍

[@NecramoniumVideo]

I really wish she would do I Still Love You from Kiss Unplugged, she can use the version i have on my channel!

[@charleschoate3302]

I know you could have chopped the singing vocals to ribbons. However you just relaxed and had fun with it! Very nice to see your fun side! Kudos!!!

[@barndude5562]

Kiss has always been my favorite band!! I am so glad you took the time to react to them!! If you pay close attention, you'll see that Paul walks to the side of the stage and switches guitars at the end of the song. The one he breaks is barely worth anything. It is definitely NOT one that is even played.

[@oscararzate7956]

Traes otro clásico y tú energía. La contagias bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀

[@dennypayne]

There's also a sort of 'It' Factor with all 4 of the original members' voices together. It's not as apparent here on this live recording, but it's one of those 'intangibles' that I feel elevates the vocals - the sum is more than the parts.

[@CaericArcLight]

KISS Army for life!! Hope you check out some of their other stuff, especially from the MTV Unplugged show (I'd go for "Every Time I Look At You" personally)

[@metoo7557]

If you want to hear Kiss singing in term of beauty of singing, try listening to Kiss - Million to one

[@elleryparsons2433]

HOW CAN you Not ❤️ This Song!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

The creme de la creme of heavy music. The best of vocals,music and showmanship ever! 🤟🤟

[@searching1000]

You're so eloquent in the conveying the emotion of "let's enjoy" - and this band does it despite all the ridicule

[@xx3868]

One of my fav lead from Ace but with perfect notes from Genes bass, nails it together and makes Aces sound and melody so much better. Max out of this short solo and so memorable.

[@pauloakley2124]

Their adage was they wanted to be the band they never saw on stage, and boy they certainly delivered for 50 years. Not the most talented singers, musicians but it worked for them. 🤘

[@aires69uk]

The Brooklyn Bridge set is outstanding.. when they reformed at that point they were on fire!

[@Nan-59]

🔥💥💥This song arrived on the radio on March 19, 1975 at that time I was 14 years old and a sophomore in high school!💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@Nan-59]

Those were some gooood times! 😮😆🍻🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@JohnnyMegabyteCanada]

I found out about Kiss when R&RAN was played in 1975 on America Top 40 radio show. I would tape the show, and play back the songs I liked. Next trip to the mall, I hunted down the 45. The 45 version is different performance than from Alive! and prefer the live version over studio version

[@krisa990]

So fun seeing you do reactions Beth..would have loved it if it was the original kiss video to this song but its still very good...really fun :)

[@MrNegative57]

Guilty pleasure band from my youth. KISS Army . They were fun . Detroit Rock City would be a good song with an interesting back story

[@josealfredosilva1064]

I still love you unplugged is amazing, the best power ballad, the best singer. Greetings from Mexico.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Paul Stanley is actually a trained opera singer. Did "Phantom" in Toronto! Amazing falsetto.

[@professorD72]

Growing up in the 70s KISS were like superheroes to us! My first two albums (when I was like 6 or 7) was KISS ALIVE 2 and Double Platinum! Seen them in concert twice and Ace Frehley solo once!

[@marceloevera2009]

creature of the night... but then i grew up and realized they were just a bunch of mediocre artists....

[@capstan50g]

I can't tell you how many times I sat in my friend Bert's basement listening to Kiss's Alive album. I finally got to see them live in the late '90s and they were still great! You might like their song Black Diamond. Here's a link of a performance on The Midnight Special US TV show in 1975: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6fLpJpnd9mCa5Y

[@svenjensen9770]

Hey, you finally made it ❤! Thank you so much! If you wanna do your uncle and me a favour just react to the greatest of all confident rockn rollers, Mr. Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead 😊. Ace of spades, the David Bowie cover of Heroes or I don't believe a word would be my favourites.

[@GinaPressley]

I was a huge fan of Kiss in the 70's. This was our anthem. I loved them when Ace Fraley and Peter Criss was with them.

[@Mack-pl1qh]

Beth having fun on rock and roll all night!

[@scottwallyn3171]

I saw them in 1979 in Sydney Australia when i was 13

[@FloriH73]

KISS Army was here! KISSes instead of weapons! KISSes from Deutschland! I liked when u was out of groove during the chorus ... sounds so natural!!!!

[@luisgarrues]

You really have to listen to "I Still Love You" Kiss Unplugged. It's a completely different side of them with amazing singing.

[@ephrentinoco3224]

If you want to hear Gene's soothing natural voice, listen to "World without Heroes" a live performance from 1982.

[@toddrinehart7075]

Yes, I forgot that one.

[@robertbanner5561]

The Fridays performance. Or, See You Tonight from Unplugged.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

Back in 1999, Paul Stanley appeared as The Phantom in two extended engagements of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, The Phantom Of The Opera, at Toronto's Pantages Theatre.

[@JohnnyMegabyteCanada]

Lead guitarist Ace Frehley (now almost 73) is one of the most influential guitar players since the 70's. So many people started playing guitar cuz of Ace. Guitar World magazine ranked him as the 14th Greatest Metal Guitarist of All Time.

[@stopthatband2612]

Please check out Love Gun or I Was Made For Loving You by KISS.... EXCELLENT VOCALS

[@ScruffyIsMyName]

G'day Beth. It was my misfortune to catch these guys a fortnight ago at the AFL Grand Final. Their mics were mixed way, way down and their backing tracks were mixed way, way up. Perhaps you could do a review of this same song from that show?

[@ericwilliams1031]

KISS is the greatest show on Earth!! If you wanna hear a better vocal performance from them I recommend the song "Forever" or "I Still Love You" from their Unplugged show. Those focus on Paul Stanley's soaring vocal ability.

[@salmonella4u]

Actually, all the original members of this band can actually "sing". It's something you don't usually hear in most of their songs. Gene, surprisingly has a really good singing voice because I've heard it a few times. ;) lol

[@quiverfull14]

Back in the day, Kiss toured with a group named Angel. One of their songs " Feelings" is still one of favorites. If you have a chance give it a listen.

[@Kissfan96dr]

also keep in mind, this song is generally their encore. They've been singing for the last 2 hours before playing this.

[@jakesekerak3259]

You definitely have to react to Beth, as well as Strutter (from the 2003 Kiss Symphony), Paul Stanley is the main vocalist of the group and hits some powerful notes towards the end!

[@RobertaSirgutz-tu8xu]

Guitar player was my boyfriend, is HS. Paul Stanley is a great singer! Did Phantom in Canada. Listen to "Forever".

[@ethanhval9593]

Omg. You actually and genuinely get this band. Big fan. But obviously they were never gonna be Queen or Led Zep. But they've always been fun. Period. Sometimes rock isn't technical. Just a fun time. KISS is the epitome of fun rocking

[@marksteverman1622]

I have never been a big Kiss fan but this is a hell of an anthem

[@leifpaul]

Gene had trouble with his voice on that tour , thats why he sounded like that . in fact , in japan the other guys had to sing his parts as he lost his voice entirely for a little while

[@MegaSargent1]

I'm a big Kiss fan my favorite album is Alive I highly recommend you check it out it's one of the best live albums of all time and this song is one of my favorites from Dressed To Kill

[@scottkossack5155]

Beth is a ballad, and more of a vocal performance

[@brentpope4623]

Never a huge fan but one of the greatest concert experiences you could hope for.

[@Roller-Ball]

KISS was mainly about the show. Best show for decades.

[@terribleted11]

that was the most fun ive seen you have watching a video😂

[@jmatthewssmith]

Loved your reaction!

[@BethRoars]

Thank you!! 😁

[@craigmcbride8226]

The Kiss exposed ''vhs'' was released in May 18, 1987, I'm assuming there was another version that was re-released after the 90's that had this '''live 96'' version added.

[@randywoodworth5990]

Listen to Gene's solo album from 1978, he really used his vocal range on that album, especially the song Mr. Make Believe

[@ptdoria88]

Hey Beth ❤ you are too much amable adorable fantastic and GRACIOUS , OH MY ..... 💙💚✌

[@joepimentel306]

Great reaction Beth

[@crazyjack3357]

Was able to see em in Detroit on their last tour. I was like 6 feet from the stage. I hope you listen to Berry McGuire eve of destruction

[@bellies1000]

LEGENDARY!!!!

[@nigeldreiner]

Cool video, Beth - I'll also add that on this performance, Gene was recovering from losing his voice.

[@magnifico_1]

MORE KISS PLEASE!!! I STILL LOVE YOU UNMPLUGGED OR PSYCHO CIRCUS ALIVE IV

[@Roh_Echt]

I do wish someone would react to their song; Deuce - Live - Midnight Special 1975. Maybe even try Black Diamond from the same performance (Peter Criss - drummer - sings this one). I did see them three times Live. All three times were with original members (1979, 1996 Reunion Tour, and 2000 Farewell Tour). I was a fan from the early albums...up to the Dynasty album; which I did not buy. I also didn't buy any albums following Dynasty.

[@DG-mo5kr]

Fun, this made me smile!

[@texadan314]

Thanks for this. I have heard this song most of my life but now I don't remember that Gene was lead singer.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

KISS ARMY!!!!! They go hard!!!!

[@gjmarr1]

I agree with Gina O. KISS was all about putting on a great showing and playing to the audience. Hijinks aside, they had a great work ethic and actually influenced Rush when they were a young impressionable band. Rush didn't succumb to the after show stuff but they learned to work hard and play to the fans. I was a huge KISS fan in the 70's.

[@elmersonreyes6052]

Hi Beth nice reaction. Can you do reaction to a great balled, I STILL LOVE YOU MTV UNPLUGGED VERSION? The lead singer Paul Stanley will amaze you with his vocals! It is totally different from their faster Rock songs.

[@tommytrixter]

Paul Is A Rockgod And Frontman !! All Hail The Starchild!!

[@jonathancox4349]

If you like them and want to hear a great performance do I still love you unplugged

[@johnprice6066]

You mentioned the guitar solo: Ace Frehley is one of the most influential guitar players from the 1970s, along with Ritchie Blackmore, Ted Nugent, Tony Iommi, and Michael Schenker. There are plenty more, but those are some of the best.

[@gianni9415]

Like kiss or not , kiss remains one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time
