KISS - Acoustic Set (Uncut) - Arena Verona (Italy) - June 11th 2015

[@ayrblass4104]

19:52 Paul sounds like the Unpluged in 1995 27:00 the best solo Gene's song

[@STAYFREE707]

I love that Gene has kept his voice despite singing hard for 40 years. I hope Paul recovers his. I'm m not being mean. I just miss it.

[@Hayley-vq3we]

Thanks Massimo for uploading this video for us all to see. Just fantastic!

[@badgrfan1256]

damn i like when they just hang out and play like this and talk to the fans!!!!! great video

[@TheDalibor66]

The great strength of Kiss's song, musical idea. There among the best.

[@Mitraglietta1971]

Bellissima esperienza che ho vissuto per la prima volta in vita mia, e grazie di vero cuore a Massimo per aver ripreso il tutto e condiviso su KZbin... :) ;)

[@1834gail]

First time seeing this... OMG I LOVE YOU KISS

[@jasonlieberman9840]

Fun fact: Paul is literally made of guitar picks.

[@fernandoferrari6534]

I LOVE YOU KISS -- SINCE IN BUENOS AIRES - ARGENTINA

[@genilsonmiranda3899]

Merci pour cette video!! Dieux le benisse!!!

[@costasixx]

Grande video ! io c'ero... e sono andato in estasi. Paul così gentile e generoso non me lo sarei aspettato. Sono stati e 4 veramente generosi e disponibili. Che giornata indimenticabile...

[@pinacobuccio9949]

Beato te 😔

[@040468maryj]

anche io c'ero !!! che emozione !!!

[@gustavogomesdossantos5599]

Grande kiss excelente show acoustic desde 1985 eu com 15 anos de idade já curtia kiss e sempre vou curtir kiss show de bola

[@EricJaegerMusic]

Not sure why everyone is complaining. I always enjoy this stuff. I don’t expect him to sound like he’s still 25. And the people who were there for sure enjoyed it so saying things like “wow they charged these people” Well all those people sound like they had a blast seeing KISS so who are you to make assumptions. Go make your own band

[@OceanbornAngel]

Tommy's hair is always perfect even with a slight breeze blowing around him.

[@thefonzkiss]

Pity his guitar playing is always amateur hour.

[@Lipo]

I love Kiss. They're fucking awesome.

[@thefonzkiss]

Jesus, six minutes in before they even play a song, that has to be a record. I know they just fuck around and secretly laugh about charging people $1000 to come to these shitshow acoustic gigs but six minutes of fucking around at the start of a 37 minute gig (16% of the total time) takes the cake.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

[@robinandyedwards6350]

que gran banda ,, por siempre kiss

[@ggaaron5481]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@massimobastianelli3164]

GG Aaron Thank you

[@warptek]

Well yeah, the video was great. Too bad the band featured in it is a former shell of itself and totally sucked ass.

[@sabrinapanti7946]

bellissimo il video e le immagini dell'Acustico dei KISS!

[@massimobastianelli3164]

Sabrina Panti Grazie

[@edgarmartinez3937]

I love kiss

[@antoniopellegrini7464]

Eh chi l'avrebbe mai detto che oggi sono passati esattamente 5 anni da questo meraviglioso concerto, specialmente se pensiamo al divertentissimo soundcheck? E poi Starchild che canta "Volare!" di Modugno è veramente il massimo!

[@MegaCatman45]

12:31 Paul telling the audience his future plans on how he's gonna perfome during the End of The Road tour

[@tradbowseven]

love the old songs, hate the F'd up egos.....

[@george25199]

Lol that is I thought.To many picks

[@misstery5942]

It's such a love hate thing Love the music hate the ppl and the egos it comes out of

[@maricelaramos7425]

Mis adorados

[@mateinegriu]

Nice pick throwing technique from Paul and Eric. Like entertaining a pack of seals :)

[@mattyc.9332]

Haha! That's great....🤣

[@misstery5942]

It's almost insulting

[@fabio59291]

Thank you!

[@manueldiquez]

1:11 Gene Bald spot

[@jorgealtamirano6852]

muy buen vídeo, gracias por compartir.

[@anapadovani5h]

Melhor banda do mundo

[@xxmayhem747xxjv7]

Eric & Tommy are a part of the Kiss family. Yes the original 4 is what we will cherish and love forever. But Eric and Tommy have earned their place in Kiss. Great musicians and wouldn't have anyone else to fill those shoes of Ace & Peter.

[@thetravellingjanitor728]

Peter is a miserable curmudgeon. He is also the least talented drummer in KISStory.

[@due_2477]

Ace is not repleaceble

[@gabrielbarblay8120]

This is a very good kiss cover band

[@swvastories3498]

Love this version of "Love Her All I Can"! at 13:01

[@dgavio]

bel video! una curiosità se posso, come si fa ad accedere al live acustico? immagino sia compreso nel biglietto tipo Vip? lo hanno fatto il pomeriggio prima del concerto?

[@justinhainley9663]

Think of it…. Imagine telling the Hottest Band in the World which song to play next. Really put a personal spin on the group individually because Paul and Eric seem like the coolest guys.

[@truckin55]

Tuned to D ! It`s not done to get more punch in the low instrumental register ;-)

[@stefanob8842]

KISS goes to work!!!!!

[@kathylebro1359]

Paul's voice was shot even then. Eric and Tommy carried him on a few tunes.

[@The_Original_Alex_Channel]

2010 was where things got bad.

[@MrRobbietalia]

are they playing music or throwing plectrums?

[@Dr.Jekyll]

Robert Talia, can’t you tell they were having technical problems?

[@maricelaramos7425]

😍😍😍😍

[@purplehaze6738]

Magnificent:)

[@puskare]

As a Kiss fan since the 1970's...I know longer see them live anymore because they are just the same old routine show. Now if they toured like this I would step right up for my ticket! This kind of reminded of me when i saw them at the official Kiss Konvention right before the reunion and putting the makeup back on. Tour like this and call it a Kiss Rarities tour as kind of a sendoff before they do officially hang it up. Obviously they still know and love their rare material.

[@misstery5942]

Get sick of rock n roll all nite

[@Officialshayne]

@8:02 Paul broke a string

[@christhee68]

Note to all bands--this video is Exhibit 1 in the book "Why You Should Always Have a Set List."

[@rocsaltjohn]

+ Chris Elswick I think you've missed the point of this little get together. this is intended to be just a quick sit down and play a couple of songs that the fans yell out. the whole point of this was not to be staged and not to have a set list.

[@aaronjohnson3463]

And this is exhibit a of a moron talking shite

[@rocsaltjohn]

Aaron Johnson whhooooooo, you got me.

[@johnraffin9937]

Really! They are Rockstars! Throwing out guitar picks for years!! They know. Give back to the fans!

[@HollyHoagland]

Kiss has balls! THANKYOU nice kids drum set. Mychristina music family Virginia USA

[@scottjaffe8840]

"Love Her All I Can" by Wicked Lester at 12:54. This was as close to the Wicked Lester vibe I've seen Kiss get. Tommy gets enough of that solo right. Also 26:50 See You Tonite, didn't catch the My Sweet Lord in there before.

[@luvittodeath7031]

Was also on Dressed To Kill.

[@patrickthometz6365]

Tommy not even attempting the arpeggios on the breaks in Comin’Home.

[@ralphfoland382]

It's just about fun,,, it's a sunny afternoon,,

[@nathueil1]

Can i get a decent performance with that fun sunny day? I mean hell id accept this if it was some behind the scenes in the hotel rehearsal shit lol. Id be PISSED if i paid.

[@stevenedwards4470]

That was kind of nice. Thanks for posting.When did gene get so chubby? : 0

[@donamatto9785]

+Steven Edwards About 15 yrs ago......

[@shortsleave]

+Steven Edwards Around 1985

[@grupoautovix7587]

Simplesmente kiss, são demais...

[@tgguitarguy]

3:38 "How do you like this it's called a G chord" Actually it's an F cause your guitar is tuned down a whole step

[@blindterrytucci2752]

Nice catch and you’re right, but I don’t think it’s a reason to point it out as if the guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That’s how it is. If your guitar was half a step lower and somebody said “Give me a G#” would you immediately go for an open A chord?

[@tgguitarguy]

I know I'm just making a joke.

[@jayparks6266]

must have perfect pitch really cool for pointing that out. obviously it’s to give Paul any extra leverage I’ve heard Don Dokken do the same. which is another whose not quite up to par these days.

[@tgguitarguy]

I do have perfect pitch actually haha. And of course it's for Paul, and I mean there's nothing wrong with that, I mean to me it doesn't sound the same, and it doesn't sound as good in this tuning as opposed to their original tuning but it's still KISS. I get that Paul's struggling I mean he's been singing and belting for 45 years, it happens.

[@jayparks6266]

absolutely....you get it as a fellow musician. Thanks for the reply

[@music9556]

crazy nites i wanna hear that.

[@vdelrio999]

Wow. Everyone is the harshest critic nowadays.

[@KalyAlly]

Fun to see the band jamming out of their comfort zone!

[@fgxjcyfgxhcg7163]

Хороший концерт.super

[@MrJAKE74]

DID SOMEONE REALLY YELL BLACK DIAMOND AND LOVE GUN LOL

[@patrickthometz6365]

Christ this is brutal. Halfway through Plaster Caster and I am gone

[@marcwharb333]

Paul left his voice back in the states..

[@patrickthometz6365]

Back in the nineties you mean

[@Fbldscourge]

They could so go on an acoustic small hall tour

[@miguelroldanrocha6964]

Kiss abriéndole o teloneandole a Kiss,sería todo un sueño que así sucediera algún día, está alineación abriendo su propio concierto sin maquillaje y cerrarándo maquillados con los miembros originales Ace y Peter ,mientras haya dinero de por medio siempre existirá la posibilidad para Gene.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Chaim Witz (hebreo: חיים ויץ, n. Haifa, Israel; 25 de agosto de 1949), conocido como Gene Simmons, es un músico israelí-estadounidense, cantante, compositor, productor de discos, emprendedor, actor, autor y personalidad televisiva de ascendencia judía húngara. También conocido por su personaje teatral, The Demon, es el bajista y colíder de Kiss, la banda de rock que cofundó con el cantante y guitarrista rítmico Paul Stanley a principios de los 70's. 75 AÑOS.

[@thefonzkiss]

12:30 the irony. Paul now lip synches everything.

[@squishwarren2521]

I enjoyed it, but the sound could have sounded crap because it was recorded on someone's phone. I was more interested in what those two dudes in the back in the last couple minutes were chatting about until Stan Lee at the very end came by and broke up the conversation! Nice cameo Stan! ^_^

[@dalethelander3781]

KISS goes Oprah. "YOU get a pick! YOU get a pick! YOU get a pick! EVERYBODY GETS A PICK!"

[@oaguilera81]

Wow. Tommy had a bad day. The solos on some songs are just off. His improvisation on Beth was quite poor 😳

[@brenoldt]

woah they almost did sweet home alabama ='(

[@GypsyHeartDemon]

beautiful.....

[@fabry86]

Spero di vederli a luglio 2021

[@Adriano-yw3th]

Fantástico...

[@slxguitar]

Help! Is there an ACE in the room???

[@thedys70]

Ladies, don't you just hate it when your G-string snaps?!

[@Danimal77]

All the parts Paul used to sing alone with power and melody he now has Eric and Gene singing for him while he's choking out the words in his hoarse whisper. Sad.

[@guitarlessons2396]

I'm a big kiss fan, but ouch, that's gonna leave a mark. Gene keeps looking at Paul, as hes lost.

[@AlexThorn]

As a musician myself and a kiss fan this type of performance if you can even call it that, is a double edged sword. On one end, you're basically charging for a rehearsal session which is cool when you are getting paid to just mess around but on the other hand it's risky when you Clearly have musicians that don't practice (except for Eric, who is so good he catches on fast) outside of the normal set list songs. Because you come off amateurish and slightly disrespectful to the fans who paid to see a performance but only got 4 guys lazily messing around

[@termsofusepolice]

Ironic how the band that used to shit on artists who performed in their street clothes while sitting on stools... Are now performing in street clothes sitting on stools. This is the sound and look of four guys (or at least the two oldest guys) going through the motions to cash a pay check.

[@aaronjohnson3463]

Man you just pulled that out your ass

[@mrpropercrumpets]

I get where you're coming from but that's like an acoustic thing separate from their actual show. It's a chance to play more than what their set allows them so I don't think it to be that bad.

[@joerichwine8609]

Hater. Funny how you bash them yet you like all other haters are watching the video. Idiots!

[@cesaresegala57]

Quanto li amo ero li al concerto l'11

[@vjPulp]

To think that fans pay extra hard earned cash to see these acoustic sets... and all they get is a bunch of unmotivated, bored, fed up stars who don't remember how to play their songs.

[@soysaucefool]

Yes, the crowd seems really disappointed.

[@javtimestwo]

i agree 1,000%. what an embarrassment! this is why i refuse to support Kiss any longer.

[@eddiemuniz761]

RUBBISH!!!!

[@mattyc.9332]

Why does it bother you? It's their money. I've heard of people spending money on far worse things...

[@TheScooter1963]

Yeah Paul cutting up and playing with the crowd is really uninspired. Why do you freaking trolls come on here griping. Go AWAY

[@albertomuner8697]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@deporteselperiodiquito1941]

Guao... La voz de Paul está bastante deteriorada. Se evidencia en Every Time I Look At You. Pero sigue siendo un duro.

[@adward1118]

Drummer is not terrible but they need ace and they need to tune a step down so the notes can be hit without straining to try and hit them. They can't hit the high octaves anymore and they need to realize that. I like kiss and I personally think that if they did tune down for live performances they would sound a lot better and the crowd sizes would be even bigger than they are!!

[@rocsaltjohn]

Ace Frehley wants nothing to do with Kiss anymore... so stop saying they need Ace. Ace has been out of the band longer than he was in it. Eric Singer is more adept for this kind of music than Peter ever was. Peter and Ace are part of Kisstory so let's move on shall we?

[@joe666b]

+adward1118 They are already down on Standard D...und they never needed ace...if they needed someone then it would be Bruce Kulick...I would Love it if the would make the Same step as Maiden did and get Bruce as a Third Guitarist

[@music9556]

+adward1118 well said spot on

[@searaydrivingguy]

And only $1100 a seat

[@_JXB94]

Unbelievable

[@annbentleys6876]

Ace needs back in the group with? Ace, Gene, Eric and Paul would be whole lot better. No one can take a legend Ace FREHLEY place in the band

[@MrAlienautopsy]

Peter Criss did great!!

[@SebastianLeonhart]

It's not peter Criss

[@picassoboy52]

MrAlienautopsy you must have been watching some other video of Peter retired on his sofa in Connecticut

[@eddiemuniz443]

If Simmons records gets a universal distribution deal,they will probably have offices in New York City.

[@rustymullins6623]

Poor old Gene just looks like he is bored to death...what gives??

[@Mannard74]

Time to retire Paul.. It hurts my throat to hear your hoarse struggling

[@hisawes0meness]

+Mannard Mann sad but true...!

[@auntiechercher4266]

+Mannard Mann Do you think he is singing badly here? (If that is so, why doesn't he retire)?

[@hisawes0meness]

Cher Cher Why didn't Tyson retire after the Holyfield fight...?

[@auntiechercher4266]

+hisawes0meness Honestly, I don't know. Can you tell me why in Paul's case?

[@hisawes0meness]

+Cher Cher aww ~you're not from here, right?! ;->

[@Rilez616]

30:30

[@CanadianRandom]

What is the backstory here? How much did these people pay for this? Lol

[@TheMack]

A wet bar and thois could turn into a real party :)

[@michaelkolarik255]

Super!!!

[@massimobastianelli3164]

Michael Kolarik Thank you

[@n.brasco8928]

Signor Bastianelli eccellente ...great stuff

[@RonAlbaneseEntertainment]

This is so .... dreary ... talk about going through the motions! These acoustic things could be really cool, and instead, just laziness.

[@truther4851]

Pretty sad ...

[@paulsantander7295]

Que es que lanzan,,monedas???

[@MrElectricwave]

+Paul Santander Púas para tocar guitarra.

[@paulsantander7295]

Gracias mi hermano

[@rocsaltjohn]

The fans here don't understand that Paul...just can't sing some of this anymore.

[@rocsaltjohn]

***** The songs that they continue to yell out....some of them are just completely out of his range of his current vocal condition.

[@MatteoPrezioso]

+Frank Patek I just wonder why he keeps on doing it, his voice clearly has deteriorated so much, and that is perfectly understandable due to how he was pushed it for decades. I don't know what kind of beef Stanley had with Eddie Trunk, but Trunk raised quite a few points over this problem.

[@rocsaltjohn]

Matteo Prezioso I assume because he loves it...I love what he's done, he totally influenced my music and writing, but I can't listen to Paul's voice anymore.

[@MatteoPrezioso]

Frank Patek I agree, and I really meant no disrespect. But when this gets blown up out of proportions, and all you read online about Kiss is Stanley's vice gone, well you can't just risk their legacy and all that. Maybe he should address this problem, and at least take a break. The guy's been screaming for decades for christ' sake, there is an obvious reason behind all that.

[@rocsaltjohn]

+Matteo Prezioso I mean let me just point out that in this video its not as bad. what is long as people are going to pay to listen to him, he's going to continue to sing.

[@patricksimmons395]

God would you guys please retire. You are destroying your legacy...

[@auntiechercher4266]

+Patrick Simmons Why do you say that?

[@patricksimmons395]

Because they are a shell of their former glory. They dont make good music anymore. They are in it strictly for greed now. They were my favorite band for decades now I dont even bother with the same rehashed crap anymore. They should have retired years ago with dignity...

[@auntiechercher4266]

+Patrick Simmons I just discovered KISS recently and I really like Paul's voice - from years before. It now sounds different. Do you think he realizes it? Do the others point it out to him? If they are already rich then why would greed cause them to continue at their age?

[@patricksimmons395]

Cher Cher Paul was to me the greatest front man in rock history. He's lost his edge and its ok. He's in his 60s now its expected. Stick to classic KISS and enjoy a great experience...

[@auntiechercher4266]

+Patrick Simmons Thank you, Patrick. I will do that. (By the way - he does a live performance - here on KZbin with KISS in 1992 Kiss "Ritmo De La Noche" of "Heaven's on Fire" and "I Was Made for Lovin You" and I think his voice and performances are great! Nice chatting!

[@johnnypotenza7466]

Looking good KISS!' Best From Late Night With Johnny P Show.

[@calebproductions5970]

Paul needs to give his voice a permanent rest.

[@auntiechercher4266]

+Chris talton Do you think he doesn't realize that it has changed? Why else would he continue IF he does realize it?

[@melvynobrien6193]

A temporary rest would do; say about twenty years.

[@risingsorrow]

god,i saw them last time in verona in 2008 and it was already sad listening to paul, but this is just embarrassing
