Mr. Speed - KISS Tribute Band - Detroit Rock City/Shout It Out Loud (Live 2018)

Lamp Theatre 6/9/18

[@jhay3966]

10/10 costumes 10/10 on the playing 9/10 on vocals, they're pretty good and the solo oh my god, very accurate

[@MetalKReactions]

Go check them out now, they have switched to the Dynasty era costumes...unreal

[@johnmcnally5307]

Be honest. Kiss has lost it. 70's and 80's? I concur with a GREAT band

[@johnmcnally5307]

Let's try God of Thunder. Maybe Gene can bring it back. Or Nothing to Lose Peter. Or New York Groove Ace

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

I'm wondering, how come they're allowed to use the Kiss logo did the real band sanction this tribute?

[@williamchoate8102]

I was lucky enough to catch these guys last year! Went into it thinking," How good can they actually be?" I came away thinking I just witnessed a real KISS concert!! Truly amazing!

[@gregcollins7277]

Some of these comments??! You gotta understand folks. It a "tribute" band ok. They're not going to sound exactly the same. I'll tell you one thing. The music is almost spot on. The vocals aren't bad at all. In my opinion on a 5 star scale I'd give them a solid 4.

[@rogerboone5281]

Imagine putting on the makeup and playing these songs note for note. They are great!

[@garyalleccia2793]

It takes a lot to replicate a Kiss concert. These guys did it well. Great job!

[@rychbiggs5492]

Best Kiss tribute I've seen

[@hewrecbizman]

It's just about unbelievable that they're a tribute Kiss band, with how much they look and sound like the original Kiss.

[@robertchua7099]

Paul Stanley is a great vocalist, so he's a tough act to follow. They did an excellent job. Great performance.

[@TheLeestarr]

Paul Stanley WAS a great Vocalist, He can barely sing anything now, That's why they are using Backing Tracks.

[@bassmanjohn7237]

Amazing commitment to do these guys musically, but then play their characters as well! BRAVO!

[@dynjarren8355]

I swear from a slight distance they look exactly like the originals! Amazing!

[@abefroman70]

Sooooo good! Best tribute of KISS I’ve seen ever!🤘🏼

[@tasonycusa2093]

KISS FAN SINCE 73 when i was 5 and FORLIFE,, just saw them yesterday in hartford conn ❤️🍺🍺🍺 for the end of the road tour💔😭MR SPEED YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME KEEP IT GOING HOPE I SEE YOU GUYS LIVE SOMEDAY👍👍👍

[@leokimvideo]

Genes voice would be easy to do, just do Cookie Monster voice.

[@lmfs4032]

Not really. It’s hard to get Gene’s tone without it sounding stupid.

[@jukeboxhero8137]

@@lmfs4032 I like your song nothin but a good time handsome ;)

[@walterkyree4459]

A trick : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@vicentecason1555]

@Walter Kyree yup, have been watching on flixzone} for years myself =)

[@PlasticAssasin8]

looks the same too

[@annetteryan5110]

Scary good....all of them...and the voices... stellar! I can't believe what I'm seeing; identical in power, look and sound. This takes "emulation" to another level entirely! They're too good for that circuit their playing...their a friggin' stadium band that could replace KISS anytime on any given night. Just give them the same KISS production and professional sound system and let these boy off the chain... because no one is gonna know, or give a damn, they can commandeer a "KISS" audience anywhere in the world!

[@dynjarren8355]

That is exactly what Gene and Paul should do. Hire these guys to Tour as Kiss and pay them a cut of the proceeds. Then they can retire finally. Kiss could go on like Menudo! Just keep replacing people after, let’s say, 10 years. After their run. This way Kiss is like a Rock n Roll Circus Act! Constantly touring the World 🌍!

[@papaidolatrine2499]

Except they didn’t write these songs. Sure they can play covers but I don’t know a single song written by anyone of these guys. Believe it or not there are hundreds of bands that can play just as good as this they just don’t spend their time covering legends so you might never hear of them

[@papaidolatrine2499]

Everyone has the right to think what they want but I’ve actually seen hundreds of musicians that can play at this level.

[@annetteryan5110]

@@papaidolatrine2499 ABSOLUTELY 💯... I was referring to another tribute band "Hybrid Theory".. (I realized this comment was about Mr. Speed after I posted) Nevertheless, I agree with you.. there are a number of "KISS" Tribute Bands that are very good!👍

[@user-sd5go4rr4i]

Best KISS cover band I have seen.

[@dynjarren8355]

These guys are good! I had to do a double take because Ace looks like the real Ace did and Gene looks exactly like Gene! He even has the long tongue! Crazy how close the resemble the real band! Good job Guys! 👏🏻🎸😎

[@itsallthingsdrums]

Loved it!! Great work. The drum kit is perfect.....this is the kit I think of when I think about classic Peter Criss. 👍👍

[@scottk5978]

Our minds see these guys through the prism of our memory and compare them to the original performers. We could be disappointed when seeing the tribute bands and comparing them to the actual band. But these guys have an uncanny physical and voice resemblance. Well done.

[@Ken-yg4um]

Think about it these guys need to be actors and musicians at the same time...I've seen quite a few Kiss tribute bands and was even invited to play the part for Ace back in the day...I kick myself in ass for not pursuing it it could of been a blast....Kiss 💋 all day long 😎

[@BAK-zl5yn]

Kiss for the next Generations..so Awesome

[@chillwill5080]

Saw these guys in 2006 at the Rock Hall of Fame March, they are absolutely awesome live.

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

Great tribute! Keep rockin' boys!

[@Cwostrander]

I’ve seen KISS many, many times. I swear KISS did this to punk everyone. It’s them right? Spot on for a tribute band.

[@rapidjay8769]

love it. im going to see these guys in dalton ga. tonight. love from producer rapidJay from chattanooga

[@CornerBallparkWb]

The gene sounds like a mix of gene Simmons and lemmy from Motörhead

[@lauraross1639]

Okay guys..... this video doesn't depict how great they really sound! They are amazing in person! I love KISS and I love these guys! They are awesome!

[@michaelstratton6701]

They did a pretty good job

[@RODELIPOWER]

YOU ARE GREATE GUYS!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEING A KISS FAN SINCE 1976 AND YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!

[@betsysingh-anand3228]

Wow! Long time Kiss fan from back in the 70s....these guys are great!

[@studlygrish]

Saw them last night 12/31/21 They were very impressive.I will see them again!

[@redmackinnon4590]

Blimey, they LOOK spot on, the MUSIC is SPOT on, the voices.... well, but who cares they are great. Good on you!

[@cipiripi6644]

Haha that was bizarre! They even got the moves down of each member.. awesome job

[@jhn146A]

Kiss actually bounces around the stage more, but they are used to wearing the platform boots way more than these guysm

[@ernielanham558]

Damn... Watched this a 2nd time I've NEVER seen an ace look that much like ace! Really same goes for gene and Paul. Can't really get a good look at Peter. These guys could really pass for the real deal! And you rarely here a Paul that sounds this much like Paul!

[@davidmcque627]

Yeah the Guy has got the Ace movements perfect, that kinda stagger he does. Great!

[@thenotoriousamg3952]

Wow! These guys are the best!

[@Ajaproducciones]

Peter...Is that you?

He does look like Peter doesn't he not just with the cab makeup on but actual Peter

They have now switched over to the Dynasty era costumes and then Covid hit...I would go see these guys again for sure.

[@christrudell7966]

@@MetalKReactions Yep; I would too. Rock on 🇨🇦

[@angierobertson2907]

Rich Kosak is the best tribute Paul Stanley I have seen. I’ve met them at an Indy Expo and heard them about a week later in a theatre bar in Kentucky. The sound was better in the bar than the Expos. He had asked me which was better. It’s been a few years and the Gene is a different guy. I can’t see drummer but I’m sure Ace is still Joe Hess. They rehearse and the mannerisms of each Kiss guy are in their show. In my opinion they are the best Kiss tribute band I’ve seen.

[@WolverinesRage]

Joe has left the band in the last few years.

[@angierobertson2907]

WolverinesRage I didn’t know that. He made a good Ace.

[@mariomohle]

Great job!!!

[@user-cp4hz4ew4k]

These guys are great.

[@CornerBallparkWb]

The drummers good but plays like a mix of peter criss and Eric singer which actually is pretty cool

[@CornerBallparkWb]

Shawn Shields Yes! That’s a great way to put it!

[@belfastbusfan]

@Shawn Shields well Peter Criss is the One and only Catman #LongLivePeter!

[@wolfgangkirby6820]

Hard not to after all these years hearing both lol . Kinda like playing Iron Maiden , ya end up mixing Clive and Nicko

[@CornerBallparkWb]

@@belfastbusfan yes but Eric singer is a better drummer and singer by far

[@jorgeporto8172]

They are amazing !!!

[@paulydshellyeahradio3938]

Hell Yeah Radio Supports You 100%

[@michaels.594]

makes you realize what an amazing performer Paul Stanley really is. How he's been able to belt out these songs for so long. Always setting the bar high for his own performance. And maintaining the standard that KISS fans have come to expect.

[@azzamzamzam1822]

"Very very good KISS tribute band and maybe the Best"

[@milenamonsoon7699]

WOW! That's impressive, all makeup and body language! They studied the characters for a long time! AWESOME

[@trendkill1891]

I LOVE a good tribute band, the point is to tribute them!!! They’re not supposed to sound exactly on par or perform as such, it’s out of love. It’s the very period that inspired them as kids and they’re re-living that moment as their heroes, ALSO fans and non fans alike get to enjoy a cool show for a fraction of the price!

[@MetalKReactions]

Go check out the new Mr. Speed videos I posted from 8/26/22

[@BangBang-hk4rg]

These guys rock 🤘

[@chriebyrd8743]

Love you guys hope to see ya at the Madison or local anyway 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Best one up there is the guy doing Gene.

[@kurtisbanks7655]

Nooo way gene sounds way better

[@j-rod6420]

Its very close look and sound,Peter also. These two should hook up with better paul and ace Impersonators.

[@jhn146A]

Paul is off on his his vocal cues, comes in late alot.

[@hugoforesti4125]

Mr.Speed are great musicians and they do look like original KISS which is remarkable.

[@dougsydnes8047]

Pretty cool!!

WOW!! KISS sounds a lot better than in the other videos............oh.

Two songs from the classic Destroyer album.. Detroit Rock City and Shout it Out Loud.. 👍🎉🎉🎉

Your faces... You really look like them. Great costumes too

[@6plus108]

1:15 look att Gene's boots :-)

[@markusaurelius777]

LMAO

[@PutteKillen]

Damn! He even sings like Ace!! Luv this!

[@godsmacked1000]

I didn’t really read the title. I just saw Kiss and started playing it and I was thinking they perform and sound kind of lackluster for Kiss. Then I read it and saw the “tribute” part. Their actually really good for a tribute band. 😆

[@scottfleming6166]

That guys sings just like Gene, but then so does the Cookie Monster

[@xtian9072]

I saw this posted on Fb Helix HX stomp group. Is it true both guitars used HX stomp (Placaster) hook to return fx loop of Marshall amp?

[@isadoreahumphrey9103]

The look is there, the sound not so much.

[@denisewalker3088]

They are pretty good I would like to see them

[@TheJinxGaming]

They are worth it i promise!

[@lylesommers5018]

These guys could headline a stadium and the crowd wouldn’t know the difference

[@timmmyers2653]

...hey look...they have guys that look just like Tommy and Eric! 🤣🤣 Serious side, well done!!! 👏👏👏👏👍

[@CodeBleu724]

I dated a girl Tina in the late 90s. Her best friend Jenn's brother was "Ace" in Mr. Speed. I married that girl. Jenn disowned us because Tina and I moved away to get married and start a family and Jenn wasn't invited. Jenn never talked to us again. I now have a 20 year old son.

OMG WAS THIS ON MARCH 17 BECAUSE I WAS THERE PLUS I DID NOT KNOW SOMEONE POSTED THIS ON KZbin

These guys are actually really good live though

[@boduke2522]

i like it even thou alittle off better than what i can do

[@vintagekodachromeslidesllc]

The only thing missing is the energy KISS has when they play...These guys are good Just missing that UMPH!

[@MetalKReactions]

I have to agree with you there...I will go see them again since they have changed to the Dynasty era costumes and see if the energy is picked up a little bit more.

[@TheJinxGaming]

They are older they arent able to move like kiss did

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

wow

[@ROCKnROLL1406]

Hope they are more active. They move like Actual KISS, guys in their 60s...

[@jerseysucks6158]

It's not easy moving in those boots. Why don't you try?

Kiss in their 20s from the 70s -priceless!! Visually they get five out of five.

[@martinpatrick1746]

When the members of the original band all fresh faced 20 yr old guys from new York man this brings back memories for me.

[@martinpatrick1746]

Someone should come up with a stage show...taking fans through the early days of the band the various verisons of the band right up to the present day.

You know this isn’t Kiss...Gene is actually playing the recorded bass line.
