In 1978 I was 11 and in the 6th grade. My buddy and I each told our parents we were spending the night at the others house and we went and saw KISS at the Houston Summit. Tickets were $15. After the concert neither of us could go home so we ran the streets till morning. One of my favorite childhood memories.

I'm from Houston, too. It's crazy how different things were then compared to now. When we were 12 (1982) our folks used to take us to the Sam Houston Coliseum and drop us off to watch wrestling. They say "we'll pick you up around 10 or 10:30." They were always late and we'd just wander around downtown till they found us around midnight. You'd have the police called on you today for that 😂

[@MsFlame2000]

I sure do remember that! And I read a story years ago (I forgot where )that the reason they decided to put on full makeup was because as rockers, they were a lot older then their management thought would be popular for their fan base.

They had a “reveal“ on MTV to coincide with the release of the Lick It Up album. I guess that was ‘83? It was a big deal at time - finally we’d see what they looked like because you’re right, up to that point nobody knew because they were only seen in public with their faces covered LOL

Thanks Jamel! I saw KISS on their tour for this album. I was 14, and painted my face like Ace, and my buddy painted up like Paul. The show was awesome, and I will never forget it. The bonus for me was the opening act, Judas Priest. I lot of people did not know them, but I was already into Priest, and they put on an excellent performance. Most everyone was there to see KISS, and often booed Priest, and chanted “We want KISS,” which made me mad because I also very much also wanted to see and hear Priest, and they were stellar!

Kiss was with Casablanca Records, an American record label owned by Universal Music Group and operated under Republic Records. Under its founder Neil Bogart, Casablanca was most successful during the disco era of the mid to late 1970s. The label currently focuses on dance and electronic music under the direction of Rob Stevenson and Brett Alperowitz. "The Casablanca Singles by KISS...1974-1982" covers KISS' remarkable eight-year stay on Bogart's label, from their very first, "Nothin' to Lose" b/w "Love Theme from KISS", from their self-titled debut to their very first charted 45, "Kissin' Time". The band's subsequent string of hits included "Dressed to Kill"'s live version of "Rock and Roll All Nite" (#12 on Billboard's Hot 100), "Destroyer"'s "Shout It Out Loud" (#31) and the Top 10 ballad "Beth", "Rock And Roll Over"'s "Hard Luck Woman" (#15) and "Calling Dr. Love" (#16), "Love Gun"'s "Christeen Sixteen" (#25), Ace Frehley's solo hit, "New York Groove" (#13) and "Dynasty"'s "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (#11).

And Paul Stanley was kicking ass on that bass. Gene didn’t like the song and it was one of the two albums where gene had the lesser amount of songs

[@scottferrell2806]

Loved Anton’s drumming on Ace’s work!

[@scottferrell2806]

@@Chicken_Wing91 Paul doesn’t play bass, Gene does.

[@Chicken_Wing91]

@@scottferrell2806 yeah **Live** in the studio they don’t record live the record each person playing separately and mix it together.. that’s why they had a producer

[@nicksm7980]

@@scottferrell2806, wrong, Paul played bass in this song. Almost every band member (except Criss and St John) played bass in some songs (Thayer, for example, played bass in some 'Hot in the Shade' songs). Gene didn't play bass even in his solo album. He is a great player though, just don't feel insecure when somebody else plays a bass part.

I saw Kiss on their Destroyer tour in 1976 * ( pictures) and I saw them again in 1979 w/ pictures and they played this song - and they nailed it- great reaction and I love ur videos!!!!!

[@bekkiware264]

Not a big Kiss fan but I always liked this song.

[@jsprite123]

After this song, and Rock And Roll All Nite, try "Beth", for a smooth ballad. You'd be surprised. Yep, KISS had range.

[@deankmuncie]

Yes, I was 12 years old when this came out and was an absolute staple at the roller rink. Skated to this a lot.

Hey we would've been classmates! 🤘😎

"a lot of people don't like disco" but a lot do! And I'm one of them. At 56 I still go to dance clubs twice a month to tear up the floor, and long may I continue doing it for nothing else brings me such unbridled joy!

[@bkw67]

Start with Detroit Rock City, Beth, Rock & Roll All Night!

[@miketaylor6694]

1979 ~ The last time KISS was original & "cool." My 1st concert 12/1/79. All I see now, is huge disco balls & glitter. I truly appreciate your reactions, mate! Thank you.

[@NDE239]

Lex: "Man, if there's one thing KISS will never do, it is a bs disco song".

[@nathanstevens259]

Seeing them live was surreal... This brings back memories from that show! Blew my mind!

[@tjwsports]

Try “Hard Luck Woman.” Sort of a KISS country song

[@silversabith]

I grew up listening to Kiss, some of the best memories I have with my dad, glad I got to see them in 96 with him before he passed away a few weeks after my 12th birthday. That being said, Live Kiss is the best Kiss.

Saw Cheap Trick open for KISS at the Fabulous Form in L.A. Fantastic!

Kiss and Rush are my Favorite two Bands. Kiss 1 was my first Album in 1975. 💗 Rush was my first concert in 1978. 15 yrs old. 🤘

[@maryhudak673]

You give me a great big smile on every video. How about PEACHES AND HERB...REUNITED? Love ya! Mary

[@Lilione111]

This played at my first ever ‘grown up’ party…think I was about 12. I don’t remember whose party it was, but I do remember this song. I was never a Kiss fan, but this song did blow me away at the time.

[@comicpancake7095]

React to more kiss!!!

[@ShadixMax]

easily my favorite song from KISS. it's one of my go to songs to start my groove. this and "I believe In a thing called love" by the darkness

[@patrickcollins1533]

This is what happens when a hard rock act attempt to write a disco song.

[@chrisbee5355]

hahaha! And I was a die hard kiss fan! lol

[@ianhewitson2738]

Yeah. They nailed it. Right up there with The Stones' Miss You.

[@danielledoyle4316]

They get a sonically and melodically near perfect track? 🧐

[@KISSFan1977]

FINALLY!!!!!! been watching for a long time and been looking forward to you finally getting around to some KISS!

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

You gotta give these guys props for all those years of rocking out on stage, with the hot lights, and pyrotechnics, all while wearing all that make up and heavy outfits.

[@BrenVta]

When I was 13 back in... Well a long ass time ago... I dressed as Gene Simmons for Halloween and just sat on my porch and scared the crap out of 3 girls who didn't see me sitting there which started my lifelong love affair with Kiss and Halloween and doing home haunts. A couple years ago my oldest son got me tix for my birthday to see KISS in concert... My first time ever seeing them in concert!! It was awesome and amazing and omg the things they were doing at their age! Cmon... Paul Stanley flying thru the air in his 70s?? Blew me away and was a lifelong dream come true, even if I was in the nosebleed seats❤️

[@susanoneill370]

OMG! Lol, Jamel, this one was the beginning and it was always on the roller rink rotation! So funny! As other have commented, it stands apart from what most audiophiles identify as 'KISS' but that's what makes it memorable and a move tune. Great for working up a sweat! ;-)

[@JimDorman]

They played this every morning on WBCN in Boston, summer of '79 and I would blast it on the Burger King PA while we were getting things ready for the day. I loved it!

[@ALLforLOVE13]

rock bands in the late seventies/early eighties would write songs like these so they would get played in discos & roller rinks and get more spins. Queen's was Another One Bites the Dust

[@paulshaw9953]

Crazy Crazy Nights was one of my first introductions to KISS... that and God Gave Rock And Roll To You

[@wrthrash]

The concerts were so incredible, proud to have seen 2 in the mid to late 70s, man am I old or what.

[@AVARAFIELD]

Thank you brother Jamel for making me smile!!!!!Thank you for doing a reaction to America’s greatest and most successful American band ever KISS!

[@teresaalexander8560]

Lol we sure was!!!!! I saw them in concert. Words can't describe how awesome it was

[@13DM13]

"Somebody grab the roller skates and get the hell outta my way!" EPIC REACTION..! LOVE IT. #KISSARMY

This was around the time when Kiss started using custom guitars which fit in with with their over the top show ethics. - Gene's executioner axe shaped bass. - Ace's light chasing guitar - Paul's broken mirror guitar. But let me tell you the story about that last one. Paul got himself an endorsement deal with Ibanez guitars which resulted in a Paul Stanley signature model. Paul became immersed in the upcoming New York city Disco scene and figured that a guitar with the effect of a Disco ball would be just the ticket. But to keep in touch with Kiss' heavy metal roots, commissioned the guitar to look like a cracked mirror. axeology.com/image/1979-06-20_PS10SM1.jpg Luthier Jeff Hasselberger was hired by Ibanez to build the guitar which used real mirror recessed into the guitar's body. Hasselbverger turned a spotlight onto it and the beams went in every single direction, just as Paul had meant it to. But Mirror is SHARP and Hasselberger had to buff every single edge smooth and apparently missed a few spots since Paul actually ripped open his arm a couple of times. No matter what you might think of Kiss, that's HARDCORE!
