Gene's jump kick at 1:16, and Paul's epileptic spasm at 5:50…now that's entertainment, folks.

[@lawrencegonzales9550]

+Christopher C. I notice also everytime paul did his leg kicks, he holds his hip. lack of stretching may be the culprit, lol.

[@stephaneguitare8313]

+Christopher C. really funny

[@j_freed]

Paul had 1 or 2 hip replacements because of the old makeup days playing in the platform shoes, it messed him up!

[@Anubis22774]

C. C. Paul was doing an impersonation of what a fish does when you catch it and first pull it up out of the water.

[@PerpetualArt]

C. C. ,Totally agree !!

[@angryagain3801]

They're playing with energetic raw pasion. Like a phoenix rising.

[@gregtalley1575]

People can say all they want negative about Vinnie Vincent, but what is true is that Vinnie along with Eric Carr put KISS back on the map.

[@jeffbear3075]

Pretty much true.Creatures was one of the best albums ever.Thanks to Eric pushing them to do something heavy and Vinnie helping write some good songs.

[@emilybeck2579]

Word!

[@naturalbornscorpio929]

Jeff Bear It had nothing to do with Eric Carr !!!!! They had planned on making a heaver album ..in fact they had to , it was do or die at this point as they couldn't even tour after The Elder was released due to low sales. There record label insisted they make a hard rock album after the last 2 albums didn't sell well + the fact that attendance numbers were dropping since the Dynasty Tour ..there popularity was dwindling due to over saturation, movie, kids toys, etc and Dynasty & Unmasked were very poppy sounding in order to reach more audiences + there costumes were looking like they were on there way to Vegas ...Leather & Studs to colorful bright colors,etc..They were ina do or die position and they had to keep it secret that Ace had left the band as they wouldn't have got there regular advance. Paul even went to Ace's house and begged him to stay in the band. They had 3-4 guitarists do the 'Creatures album with multiple sonf writers including Bryan Adams + 'Rock & Roll hell is a BTO song which Gene just added another verse. They had a lot of help on this album (Craetures) to make it what it was . Vinnie co-wrote 3 songs and played on more.

[@naturalbornscorpio929]

Emily Beck The production was definitely heavier then the last 3 KISS albums ..it was necessary in attempt to win fans back. It was Michael James Jackson I believe who produced Creatures Of The Night and he mixed the drums a bit too high in the final mix in my opinion. Good album , has its weak points but compared to what came after , ya good album !

[@drewthompson2219]

I love this. Musically, this was Kiss' best lineup. R.I.P. Eric Carr, you were a helluva drummer, and, more importantly, a helluva guy. Vinnie, you gave this band a sorely needed kick in the ass. Wish you had been treated better, and that you treated others better. It's never too late to do the right thing and go out with a good conscience. Rock our world one last time, VV. Treat your band, fans and everyone around you right. That's something you'd never regret.

[@lancetop]

Drew, you just said a cotton-pickin' mouthful. I couldn't agree more. If Vinnie could patch himself up, he could still make a splash with a late-life comeback. Years ago when Ace sobered up, he made a damn nice comeback for himself. There's no reason Vinnie can't unleash that songwriting of his, once again. and rock 'n' roll!

[@hwgavin]

I don't think Vinnie's got the same skills he used to have anymore, judging by the footage from the recent vault and Kiss cruise shows

I seen KISS on this tour and they kicked ass, Vincent did a great job and did one hell of a solo. Gene tripped and busted his ass and the whole stadium laughed, all together a great show.

[@jerrycampbell2445]

This was Gene and Paul's " we no longer wear makeup but look how good we can kick" period

[@devtrev6181]

Paul's :dancing",,, the last time I saw dancing like that it was on the end of a rope.

[@michaelr.4878]

Haha My favorite Paul 'dance' was from that in-studio set they did of all Elder tunes right after the Elder was released. I think that it was during the song, 'I'. Paul pouts his lips, puts his arms to his side, sticks his chest out as far as he possibly can and starts shaking his chest side to side. It was very, very off. It was like he was trying to be 'manly', but in reality, he looked the exact opposite of manly. hahaha I still wonder if Paul could be gay..but doesn't even know it himself. I have a friend who is clearly gay..but at 33 year old, he still occasionally dates girls. I once asked him straight up... "Andrew, brother...are you gay man"? He said, "Do you know what Mike...I don't think so. Honestly speaking, I have never really thought about it..So maybe I am..but I don't think so". hahaha. I think that Paul might be like my old friend, Andrew. Gay but doesn't even know it.

[@user-tn4fd6tp3p]

No sé si es gay Paul. Tampoco me importa lo q sea a mi me encanta y su energía la gasta bailando. Si al caso sería afeminado. Y aún lo veo así q viva Paul ❤❤❤❤❤

"Diaper clad frontman overcome with crowd energy engages in spastic outburst of crippling moves during Kiss show - film at 11" my review of this show 😃 and Vinnie did fine. 👍🏼

[@kathrynjordan8782]

Musically, this was Kiss' best lineup. Vinnie gave Kiss a big kick in the ass when they needed it. We got two great records with this lineup: Creatures and Lick It Up. After Vinnie was fired, the rest of the albums went by the wayside. Eric Carr was a great drummer. R.I.P. Eric. I just wished that Gene and Paul had treated Vinnie better. Of course, he could have done the same. Paul is a mega-egomaniac. Gene is a close second.

[@whataboutrob442]

💩

[@BigboiiTone]

He's ok

[@tdasmal3622]

It’s not that they thought he was playing better than them. He was playing his solos much longer than he was allowed to. The typical solo for the lead guitarist in kiss usually lasts about three minutes Vinnie’s solo here went went for six. They had to skip to songs on their list in order to go right into the finale because Vinnie wasted so much time. This wasn’t a one time thing then he did it multiple times when he was told not to. This combined with scams, he pulled on fans to get more money for himself is the reason why he was kicked out of the band.

[@PerpetualArt]

I am watching this hoping to see all this talent Vinnie has. I still don't see it. He does the same run over and over again.

Part of what made KISS big was a combination of things and one being we could not see KISS before 1982 when MTV came along. KISS was a mystery. The only way to see them was to go to a show yet so many people couldn’t go and even more kids couldn’t go. Once they were visible on TV and people that could buy VHS tapes of shows it was all over

[@scottfleming6166]

Vinnie was a true rock star

Actually, Vinnie Vincent amounted to the highest record sales in Chrysalis Records history with The Vinnie Vincent Invasion album in 1986 (over UFO and Blondie) as well as with the All Systems Go album in 1988. Vinnie Vincent is a great Guitar Player/ Songwriter. Obviously, he made an outstanding impression while having been in KISS enough for him to be requested to co-write on the Revenge album.

Gene and Paul were desperate after Hot in the shade! And Vinnie is a good songwriter.

[@chrismarsh438]

Are you sure about that? That is the same label that Billy Idol and Huey Lewis and the news started out with. Also Vinnie is a terrible negotiator! He signed an 8 album deal for only 4 million dollars with Chrysalis records and the label released him in 1988.

[@ginajames4564]

lol not true. Almost everything that was spewed out about the Invasion was complete BS publicity. "highest record sales in chrysalis records history, " absolute rubbish. Huey Lewis`s album Sports was released in 1983 and sold over 7 million copies in the USA alone., and that was just one album by one artist on the Chrysalis roster!

Now that I have a chance to watch this + older shows online, I realize what complete fools Gene & Paul really are. This really is a band best left to '70s magazines, posters and vinyl.

Vincent John Cusano (Bridgeport, Connecticut, 6 de agosto de 1952), más conocido como Vinnie Vincent, es un cantante, guitarrista y compositor estadounidense de hard rock y glam metal, famoso por haber sido(aunque por poco tiempo) el guitarrista principal del grupo de rock Kiss, tras la salida de Ace Frehley. ​Fue el guitarrista en el álbum Creatures of the Night y, posteriormente, estuvo de gira con Kiss; su rol, en cuanto al maquillaje, fue el de "Ankh Warrior", creado a toda prisa por Paul Stanley. Aunque forjó una carrera en solitario, es más conocido por su breve paso por Kiss.

At an LA Forum show in January 1984, Vincent continued playing despite Stanley's cueing him to finish the solo. The two nearly came to blows in the dressing room afterward, with Stanley accusing Vincent of showing him up, and Vincent accusing the other three members of ruining his solo and trying to hold him back as a performer. They were separated by Eric Carr and Gene Simmons and a couple of roadies who tried to keep the peace. At a March show in Quebec, Canada, as the band prepared to close out their set, Vincent broke into an impromptu solo, leaving the other band members standing onstage with nothing to do. Vincent left (or was fired for a second time, depending on the source) shortly after. This time, the break was permanent.READ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lick_It_Up
