I’m one of the odd fans that loves this album

[@xDavyx]

And you're not the only one

[@scottcollins5060]

I'm with you on this album. I and Under the Rose were my favorite songs on the Elder. Let's hear it for those odd people and following their own path in life

[@lrm215]

Me too!!!

[@martinkasper197]

Kiss wasn't the band to make a concept album... That's it all... Although I quite like the song...👍🤘

[@rmartin9426]

Me too.

[@Jaelien01]

I hooked up my new headphones to listen to this and I was stunned! In 30+years of loving this song, I never realized the double bass drum!! 🤯

[@notsure1135]

Before people really knew how to mix a kick…

[@SahiraSound]

When it first bought the album I could only hear the double kick at the end of the song but this Frankenstein version brings that double kick forward on the chorus all the way through the song which is where it belongs. I was so glad when they brought Eric Carr into the fold. I just really wish they would have treated him like a full-fledged member. That guy poured his heart and soul into the band and really elevated their sound. He deserves so much better than they showed him!

[@Zedman3333]

Aces outfit is fn awesome , this song has grown on me over the years, its epic.

[@Strimbles]

Hahaha it's horrible, it looks like he's ready for aerobics class!!

[@Zedman3333]

@@Strimbles Gee the aerobics comment hasnt been said over 10000000 times, It was the 80s you twit.

[@JohnLesniewski-np7jg]

Saw this live when it happened. So much heavier than the record. I didn't like the record when it was released and still do not. It is a very good concept album, but a terrible KISS album.

[@NathanDFoust-john146]

Ace is awesome here. I have always liked his look the best.

[@NathanDFoust-john146]

I also liked the Ankh warrior concept.

[@jrzenizeni2506]

Awesome!! Finally i can listen to the Eric ‘s Drum double kicks

Wow!! I love the effort put into this! Great album! Critics were pricks!

[@KISStributeNYC97]

I think it’s a great album, too. They tried something a bit different. Some really good songs on the album.

[@OceanbornAngel]

It's an album that didn't have the right people. Imagine if they attempted it in the 2000's with people like Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish producing it.

[@PowerTom_kyle]

Hell yeah! This is the solo that should have appeared on the album! Well done!!!!!

[@arthurhall8238]

No it isnt...

[@motleydesign]

It's a great album the Elder

[@OceanbornAngel]

What I love about this Fan Mix is how everything hits harder than in the actual recording. I love how heavy it is.

[@arrowwaterable8008]

This mix is really really great !!!I can hear Eric's double pedals of bass drums clearly. Besides Ace's solo played at Fridays is added very naturally. Great work! The Elder is one of my favorite KISS albums no matter how much bullshit people say about it.

[@JeanAlainXavier-ze9jc]

Darn good song

[@smudgecapone9836]

Warts and all, I don’t mind this album. At times it doesn’t work, but it has its moments. The older I get, the more I appreciate it

[@farrellmcnulty909]

The Elder you get, what...?

[@LHC1206]

Dude this is positively smashing! I love it! Blown away.

[@backmarkerbob]

KISS with double-bass? Now I've heard everything

[@JohnLesniewski-np7jg]

It sounds like you never knew that. Eric always played double bass. Kits for as long as he was in the band.

[@Cape-Dweller]

I think Escape From The Island deserved the Grammy for best rock instrumental. Not that it was even nominated.

[@Cfolger]

If that's what they would have put on the album they might have had two good song on the record , dark light was the only good tune on elder

[@spagazi]

Good Show and Great Job! This'll be on repeat for the next 3 hours 🎼🎶🎵

[@jamiesonmathias7859]

Can relate

[@michaelschwertfeger1690]

This album has become on of my favorites over the years, I didn’t like it when it was released. This is a great song.

[@leokimvideo]

Great mix, sounds much heavier. Ace's solo it perfect

[@xDavyx]

4:02 - I love that you kept the Paul's guitar licks in the final chorus. This licks are awesome

[@AustinOgonoski]

I immensely enjoy all of these.

[@pontiuspilot10]

Me too!!

[@glenndertinger9513]

I don't know about you guys, back in those days you didn't know what the hell to think about this stuff when it came out, my mind went in 30 different directions with this new album cuz it wasn't to kiss I knew!!

[@glenndertinger9513]

But kiss definitely made up for everything when the creatures of the night came out it was a whole new sound from the elder!

[@HrdRck]

I’ve always thought this was in their Top 10 albums. I still play it often.

[@martinmiller7154]

Definitely in my top 10 Paul’s vocals are amazing

[@diamondd2778]

I luv this song!

[@cantometric]

I firmly believe that if MFtE had been released by some unknown English band that band would be legends. This is probably their most NWOBHM. I kinda wish KISS put it out under a pseudonym.

[@whojanson6751]

😄 Wow!!! 🥳👏👏👏❤ Absolutely outstanding remix! One of the very best I've ever seen and heard! Thanks a lot! 🤗

[@franKENstein620]

Glad you like it!

[@humbertobertrami3061]

First time i heard Psycho Circus, when they get that beautiful theme in the mid, i instantly remembered that theme where Ace do in the The Oath refrain (that you put here in all refrains and i thank you a lot for it). They´re different but very close. I´m a huge KISS fan and i loved to hear so many KISS songs reborned by you, thanks man. Sry my bad english, greetz from Brasil and pls keep doing it hehe... Cheers

[@rmartin9426]

Back then there was criticism that the record wasn’t heavy enough but listen to Eric’s double bass. You can tell Creatures is just around the corner.

[@SteveBlevins]

recorded at Ace's studio.

[@notsure1135]

Only Ace’s parts. He didn’t want to be around them too much by this point.

[@applejacks971]

The Elder, Dynasty, and Love Gun are the 3 best studio albums they made, awesome!!!

[@thefonzkiss]

How about Within with the Ace solo from the live EP?

[@vegasaxeman]

A-MAZ-ING! Really nice job man! Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight! God bless and take care...

[@kcmikey23]

This is really cool!!

[@markwendt3838]

That performance showed just how much ACE was missed for really he may have not been the most accomplished or technical but he fit like a glove

[@CraftonBarnes]

Yeah this mix is much better, I could hear that double bass before but it was so buried... but also in hindsight this isn't as Dungeons and Dragonsy as it was when it first came out. I think that was a lot to do with the failure of it at the time. We kids then weren't all doing the RPG stuff like they all tried to make it out in the press at the time and even the concepts of the castles and hobbit style story albums were already fading by the time this hit the shelves, at least in Memphis and a lot of other markets. Punk and thrash were already starting to be the alternative to movie stylism. Anyway, this mix would have possibly made a huge difference seeing as how double bass was just starting to come around.

[@Bonjonify]

Für mich ,war das ein Album der besonderen Art.Es klang wie ein Musical.

[@davdevalenti1552]

Ace,il genio!

[@mike2weber535]

Whoever did this polished ,did it right, the clarity ,is key to enjoyment.

[@garcemac]

I actually liked Music From The Elder. First saw KISS at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. Sept 6, 1976. $6 general admission. Those days are GOME ;)

[@garcemac]

And they redeemed themselves with Creatures of the Night - one of their best albums ever. . I saw Eric Carr play with the band at Maple Leaf Gardens for the Creatures tour. I'll be 60 in May lol. And Eric has the best hair by far in this video. Ace might not have played on the album but he sure as heck sold tickets. The Gardens was half-empty for that show, but it was amazing. And Paul still has the best voice in rock and roll. Its a shame he got old. But then again we all do.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

I wonder if Kiss could be talked into another concept Album ? Perhaps Return of The Elder ?

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

now, everyone says they love this album. but that wasnt' the case in 1981, the KISS fans had all but abandoned KISS and it was their first album to not even go gold. but i believe as time has gone by, people realize its a really good album. i love it. but i was too little to appreciate it when it was brand new..

[@JohnLesniewski-np7jg]

And some fans such as myself, still don't like it. Been a fan since '75 through the good and bad. For me this was bad.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

@@JohnLesniewski-np7jg i wasn't of "music age" till the late 80s. and my first exposure to KISS was Revenge. so when i would read in magazines about the elder, i bought the cassette at a flea market, and i actually quite liked it. but i do understand people like you that were in the record buying age, and having 3 lame records in a row, after some serious dangerous sexy hard rock of the first six albums and some of the solo album stuff. to me i like the elder better than Dynasty and Unmasked, other than the Ace songs on those albums.

[@spaceknight793]

I was there. Loved it then, love it now. But NOBODY was talking about the Elder…. Crickets everywhere.

So let me see if I got this right. The video is from the live performance from Fridays, and the audio was mixed in…right ?? I’ve seen the video several times and I don’t think that’s the matching audio. It syncs up really well though. Nice !

[@franKENstein620]

Correct!

[@jamiesonmathias7859]

Was the music on the Fridays show completely live ? Or was it lip synced ? thank you

[@franKENstein620]

@jamiesonmathias7859 100% live. However, this video is the album version with Ace’s solo added in. They also appeared on SOLID GOLD to promote the Elder where they lip synced to “I” and the video for “A World Without Heroes” was shown.

You should do a frankenstein mix of Odyssey and remove the falsetto voice and the music that's played behind it. Have it go from the last verse to the epic solo,then back to the verse.

[@franKENstein620]

I am currently working in a total remix (original version) as well an extended remix with tons of changes and extra music.

The pros they are they played for the TV audience while the folks in front patiently waited for Merle Haggard…lol
