Kiss-1995 Los Angeles-Hard Luck Woman (Peter Criss Vocal)

[@kevinchandler179]

It's not just coincidence that my boy the Catman sung Black Diamond, Hard Luck woman, Beth, Strange Ways, Nothing to lose, Baby Driver and Houlagan!!! He was very underrated and underappreciated drummer and vocals, and by far had the best damn voice in the band ever!!!!

​@DB-kl9bp Sorry, I am a die hard Peter Criss fan, and the spelling wasn't my top concern on my point buddy!!! Lol 🤦‍♂️

[@GordonWilkinson-t8b]

Stanley better !!!

[@vintagestarwarsfan]

He just couldn't write music.

[@patl9404]

Don't let any say different,,Peter is the best😊

[@bluescitygarage]

The best vocals in the band. Peter was amazing very underrated.

[@kevinchandler179]

Your damn right!!! He was so damn great and underrated and underappreciated drummer and vocals, it's a damn shame!!!!

[@GordonWilkinson-t8b]

no

[@davidcarlin3850]

Such a beautiful song. Peter great vocals

[@jessiegarcia8166]

MAN....THAT BADASS RASPY MEOW FROM THE CATMAN...!!!!😎👍 I suddenly had a lump in my throat that brought a tear to my SOUL...😪 MY GOD DUDES, THANKS FOR ALL THE MAGIC. 🦇🐱🛸⚘

[@jamescarr3895]

The most underrated drummer/singer of all time.Class dismissed .

[@kevinchandler179]

Agreed 💯 percent 👍!!! In his prime especially, he had the best voice by far and drumming wise, unique style jungle rhythm and jazz filled riffs that he incorporated into Rock and Roll!!!

[@YERBLUES87]

PETER CRISS IS THE ONLY CAT MAN!

Yes 100 percent Eric does it well but I wish Paul and gene made him his own makeup

[@lenadiene2065]

True

[@margaretayers6170]

I agree with you!!!!!!

[@joeg509]

Peter, the best voice in kiss...Incredible!!!!

[@randalgibbons8822]

Absolutely! I think Gene and Paul were getting concerned about Peters rising popularity when he sang the best 3 songs, hands down, on Rock and Roll Over. Genes voice sucks, not sure how his vocals ever made it to the radio waves. I think that's part of what started the riff in the band. On Peter Criss' worse day he could sing Paul under the table.

[@kevinchandler179]

Yep, Catman had by far the best voice in the band!!! They, knew it as well, but didn't want to admit it!!! Black Diamond, Hard Luck woman, and Beth are 3 of Kiss fan poll even top 5 songs, and my favorite member and amazing Peter Chriss sung all 3!!! Coincidence, I don't think so, him and Ace were absolutely the best in the band!!!!

[@donaldmosteller5876]

I beggar the difference....Paul Stanley..###1

[@picax8398]

​@@donaldmosteller5876look up the midnight special video of Peter singing black diamond

[@chiefbrody75]

Different kind of voice. Gravelly, rough sounding, and PERFECT. Peter was really into Motown, R&B type music . His solo album is a great one, still listen to it now

[@threalismaradona9899]

Peters voice sooo goood

[@pedaphelps]

it's always such a shame when band members can't get along. These guys are the ones who made the magic in the first place.

Cocaine is one helluva drug

[@markallen2984]

It's really cool to see Gene's smile in response to the enthusiasm of the crowd.

[@mellowshipslinky5600]

God fucking damn, I can't stop listening to this preformance. Pure magic, Peter made this song what it is.

[@ChloeUnknown-ul2ym]

This is one of my fav songs ever,I don't want to hear anyone else sing it! Long live the Cat Man!!

[@bareassnewfie]

Paul Stanley does a great version unplugged, but yeah Peter Criss, is definitely the original star behind this song, great post, excellent song thank you

[@MichaelBenner2014]

its always been Peter's song

[@ddobry21]

Yup, just like Beth and Black Diamond. I don't wanna hear anyone else singing these three songs. They belong to Peter Criss.

[@kevinchandler179]

Always will as well!!! Black Diamond and Beth obviously as well!!!

[@pabloeskybruh9624]

@@ddobry21 i disagree I think Eric carr sung and played black diamond the best! Agree with Beth and hard luck women though👌🏻

About eric singer and eric carr

[@kevinchandler179]

Eric Carr god rest his soul 🙏 I love very much, but I disagree that he played Black Diamond better than the living legend drummer Mr. Pete Criss!!! I can't buy that one, people!!!!

[@Rokonroller]

Kiss was always great beyond question!! Made growing through the 70’s s remarkable time to be alive

[@KISStributeNYC97]

I feel the same. Growing up in the 70s as a kid, and having KISS become the phenomenon that they were back in that decade…contributed to some of the best times of my childhood. The music, the mystique…there will NEVER be another time like that. There will NEVER be another KISS. Then, to portray Peter later in life, was literally life-changing.

[@petersmernoff9209]

The Catman's voice is AWESOME!!!

[@andersgalk1724]

One of the best vocal performances of this song, even for Peter. Pure energy, putting all the years passed into this moment. A magic moment.

[@fredjones554]

This performance is so special. His voice communicates so much.

[@kevinchandler179]

Peter had one of the best vocals in Rock and roll history!!! Powerful and soulful voice!!! And, from 74-78 one of the best drummers on planet earth 🌏!!! Team Peter and Ace

[@latinfukcpl]

This song sends shivers down my soul. What a classic!

[@issues9828]

Jesus.

[@bmelvin1234]

Peter is the most underrated singer in the world.

[@70sgirl51]

My favorite KISS song. I don't think it would have been done any better by anyone but Peter. He really was underated as a vocalist.

[@cleetusmacfarland9453]

yes next was Beth

[@prinzeugen1220]

@@cleetusmacfarland9453 Beth came out before this; and the original post was saying that no one could sing Hard Luck Woman better than Peter

[@cleetusmacfarland9453]

@prinzeugen1220 My point was that Irregardless of which came out first, that their 2 best songs were both sung by Peter!

[@kevinchandler179]

Black Diamond was a Peter song and was amazing 👏 as well!!! 3 of the best Kiss songs ever were Hard Luck Woman, Beth, and Black Diamond, and look who sang them, the Catman!!!!

[@mrfixzit1019]

You guys are all correct..Peter Does it, with feeling and From the heart ! Thanks Kiss, you guys are awsum..Kiss forever !

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Very true.

[@kevinchandler179]

Catman a frickin legend, fact 👏!!!!!!!

[@jamescarey2367]

Always loved this kiss song.

[@navyskaterdude]

Peter sings it the way it needs too be sung, Beautiful 😍

[@renejustice886]

PC…..great voice!

[@kevinkiso9330]

Paul originally wrote the song with plans to offer it to Rod Stewart to sing. And Peter said "Awww, c'mon! This is perfect for me!" And Paul agreed.

[@deralmighty8011]

+Kevin Kiso Funny enough, even their own producers didn't realize it was Peter singing it.

[@rmartin7558]

It think Peter's exact quote was more like, "F___ Rod! I'll sing the sh__ out of that song!"

[@orgasmicdave]

Peter wrote this.

[@kurtisbased183]

Dagan Martinez no, paul did

[@orgasmicdave]

KURTISBASED no he didn’t 😂 you can just listen to and say there’s no way in hell paul Stanley wrote this

[@suzanneanthony7471]

This is such a cool moment! Peter!

[@Genkimark]

This will always be Peter's song. HBD, Peter!!

[@kevinchandler179]

Technically, nobody gives a shit!!!!! Because, just like Black Diamond and Beth, all we really remember is the Catman singing the shit out of each of them!!!!!

[@christikirk7265]

Peter Criss! You and only you can do this song! Cold chills!

[@OpalescentSun]

I love this video, Peter does such a great job! I wish KISS would tour with this kind of unplugged set up!

[@andrewneil7554]

Just amazing vocal and presence.

[@tenbroeck1958]

Very cool of Gene to mention that Eric wanted Peter to sing it. God bless Eric -- That is some humility

[@kevinchandler179]

But, little did Eric know, it would seal their fate, because a reunion tour was just solidified after this masterpiece!!!!!

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

In his book, Gene claims Peter "asked for permission" to attend the convention, they had rehearsals and Peter's drumming "wasn't up to snuff", but "out of the kindness of his heart", Gene told him he could still play with them and just sing. According to Eric Singer, Peter just showed up, came backstage, said hi, introduced everyone to his daughter, then went back outside. As soon as he left, Eric asked, "Why didn't you ask him to play with us?!" Someone was sent to retrieve Peter, they asked him to join them onstage and he did.

[@kevinchandler179]

But yet, Gene and Paul seen dollar 💵 signs in Peter and Ace, and had the biggest reunion tour in the history of Rock and roll, doesn't add up my friend!!! I was at the Chicago show on the 96 tour and Peter was amazing and very good still!!! Not buying what Gene is trying to sell!!! Lol

[@allenknisell1119]

Peter criss owned this song when it came to the vocals

[@АлексейШевченко-ч5э]

Peter-Super!!! 🤘

[@leokimvideo]

Sure it's Paul's song, but Peter owns the vocals. Kiss would have been an amazing country & western band.

[@agustinrodriguez1325]

So would have the Rolling Stones

[@carlospereira_musica]

KISS es y será una de las Grandes y Mejores Bandas de Rock ..Forever

[@Divataster]

Your comment rings with truth....The Wicked Lester demos and the Bullfrog Beer demos were definitely Country and Western genre

[@LOUIS-np6be]

KISS DONT DO WOULD HAVE!!!!!

[@kevinchandler179]

Black Diamond, Hard Luck woman, Beth, Strange Ways, Nothing to lose, Baby Driver, and Houlagan just to name a few!!! He is a frickin legend

[@johnblack9298]

Brilliant best version with Peter on vocals 👌

[@papajdizzzle]

One of the best songs. Love the version with Garth Brooks. Nice to hear Peters voice with this song. Peter Chris you have a great singing voice my friend. Perfect for this song - nice to see that times have changed.

[@desiberry]

Peter made this song!

[@forgeFe21]

Paul was very quick to clarify who, "something really deserved" was being directed towards. Oh no, not Ace or Peter, but you the fans. Well maybe, but Ace and Peter deserved an opportunity to thank their fans as well having turned a page in their lives. This ultimately came to fruition and I could not have been more thankful to have witnessed the days 0f '77 in '98!

[@fredjones554]

When Paul gave this to Peter; genius

[@mysteryperson1976]

Eric Singer confirmed in an interview that it was his suggestion. Peter wanted to bring his daughter down to show her a part of his past. When Gene called Eric to ask if he'd be okay with Peter being here, he said he'd be fine and said that if Peter's going to be there, they should pull him up to play.

Wow, such an beautiful song

[@kevinchandler179]

Two words!!! Peter Criss

[@kaveman1021]

Gene's strength as a bass player shows in the moments when he's playing the song, rather than "playing the bass" if that makes sense. In the early days he had the ability to play the rhythm as well as countering the lead guitar.

[@freepressright]

He's Paul McCartney of hard rock. Fucking amazing walking melodies. He doesn't get the credit he deserves for WRITING bass lines. He isn't Billy Sheehan, but he always had walking melodies.
