The original KISS lineup consisted of Gene "the Demon" Simmons (bass, vocals) Paul "Star Child" Stanley (rhythm guitar, vocals) Ace "the Space Man" Frehley (lead guitar, vocals) Peter "Cat Man" Criss (drummer, vocals)

[@armynurseboy]

It's crazy how all 4 of them were really good singers in their own right....

[@LinkRocks]

But on this song it's Paul Stanley on bass and all guitars and Anton Fig on drums.

[@tonycampbell4982]

Eric Carr was the best drummer they ever had.

[@smolderingjay3360]

I would say; Gene, "The insufferable, narcissistic blowhard". I give a lot of ground to rockers (with marginal talent) who have issues with a cadre of weaknesses. Gene's weakness is himself. I hate to even comment and give him pub, but he truly blows. ...Demon? ...Pleah. Go sit and spin jerkoff.

Ditto. Prefer Deuce during Alive tour, synchronized swaying back n forth. Fun to see in their prime.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

For me at least this song is a great example of what's been called 'survivorship bias". The vast majority of other disco-era music hasn't stood the test of time and happily I've completely forgotten most of it. For me this one survived because it was a catchy song.

We must be around the same age. I remember being 15, in high school, when this tune album came out. Some of us at the time felt that KISS had sold out to disco, but all these decades later, it sounds a lot better.

I saw KISS perform on television when I was a little girl and became OBSESSED with Peter Criss who I called "Kitty Cat Man". I cried so hard when I saw his face on a lunch tote that my Mom broke down and bought it for me. I was the only kindergartener rocking a KISS lunch tote in my class.

I saw KISS in concert... For the first time ever, a couple years ago... The whole concert was amazing... Paul Stanley in those platform shoes, grabbing a tow line, hooking one foot thru a ring and flying thru the stadium to a stage in the air.... At almost 70. Amazing!

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Not just a hit for Kiss, but this song also was the break-out song for Desmond Child, who wrote the song with Paul Stanley. Because after it became a hit, Desmond Child became a sought after songwriter. In fact, it was when Bon Jovi played opening slots for Kiss in the early eighties, when Jon Bon Jovi asked Paul Stanley if he wanted to write songs together with him. Stanley declined, but told Jon, “I know just the guy!” So which Bon Jovi tunes did Desmond Child write for the band? - You gave love a bad name - Bad Medicine - Living on a prayer. And after those songs became big hits, the door was opened and people began to seek out Desmond Child. Scoring him hits for Joan Jett (I hate myself for loving you), Aerosmith (Dude, looks like a lady), Ricky Martin (Livin' la vida loca) among others.

[@dawnsmith1394]

When I was 10 years old this was my first KISS song! This one is special!😊

[@guitarzan5328]

Fun fact: when Paul Stanley showed Gene Simmons the first bit of lyrics for the first time, he was like, "Ooh yeah, yeah, _I wanna give it all to you,_ I know what *that* means!" He was really digging it the way through the next few lines, until he asked "Okay, what's my part?" - *doo doo doo, do-doo, do-doo, doo doo* - "Really? You're kiddin' me". Gene stopped DEAD in his tracks. He _really_ wanted to strangle Paul at that point. So ultimately, Paul ended up singing the "doo doo doo" part as Gene to this day will not have a bar of it 😂

[@jimmackey6110]

Gene Simmons (the demon)is the face of KISS, Paul Stanley(starchild)is the heart of kiss and criminally underappreciated as a singer songwriter and frontman. The fan favorites are Ace Frehley(space ace or spaceman)on lead guitar and Peter Criss (the catman)on drums. This is the original lineup and by far the favorite lineup. In the 70s they never went anywhere without the makeup and no one knew what they looked like without the makeup(never happen today). In the 80s the makeup came off with a different lineup. In the 90s the original lineup reunited with the makeup back on. The original lineup is no longer there but they are still wearing the makeup. They are the soundtrack to my life

KISS was the first major concert I ever went to! They put on a great show too! If you want to see Gene Simmons (the Demon) sing, react to "I Love it Loud", you want to see Peter Criss (the Catman-drummer) sing, react to "Beth". You can never go wrong with KISS!

Great choice👍 KISS Unplugged really showed how good they are as singers, musicians and songwriters. No make up or flash; just a great band

[@mountaingator7673]

"Forever" from that same performance would be another great choice.

[@rwcassel2970]

For a really different side, check out "Music From The Elder" from around 1981. It was music for a never released rock opera type film. Gene wasn't too keen on it IIRC. I think some of the songs are pretty good but definitely a departure from their normal sound.

[@ronvonbon]

As my favorite, this is Paul Stanley (starman) singing this song. He was born without his right ear. Amazing how awesome he could play and sing music. He is still doing music, especially his put together Motown cover group Soul factory . Yes they did go without makeup, but def not the same feel to me. Yes Gene Simmons was the most popular. I was very fortunate to see them in 1977, great year as i was 17 and i saw the Beatles also. (thanks big brother) Then finally last year KISS came to Milwaukee and my friend hooked me up and I was back stage and Paul Stanley signed my book and bro hugged me.

[@chadkramer1383]

In the mid to late 70s disco was ruling the airwaves and the clubs. Bands were looking for a way for their songs to stay in the forefront. This was their attempt to get play in the discos of the day. Absolutely love this song!

They took off the makeup in 1983 and stayed like that till 1995 reunion. Kiss got raked over the coals for doing this song. Fans called it a sellout disco song. The album it came from wasn't disco, just this song. Every rock band was doing a disco song at the time, but Kiss fans weren't having it. Nevertheless, this was a huge hit for them

[@johnvance3011]

Kiss unmasked on MTV, then had a hair metal type sound through the 80s ,than a softer acoustic type sound through the early 90s, then in the late 90s early 2000 returned to the make up and released psycho Circus and spent many years touring with the make up on, it’s pretty smart to wear make up ,take the makeup off gather a new crowd, then when you’re getting old and Getting to look old, put the makeup back on tour around doing all the old classic songs, brilliant

Anton Fig played drums on the Dynasty album and Umasked album. He was the drummer for the band on David Letterman Show and The Late Show with David Letterman. He also played on Ace Frehley’s KISS solo album and some other Ace Frehley albums during the 80’s. This is basically the album the album track you’re hearing.

[@TheNewRevolution]

My favorite Kiss song is "Hard Luck Woman". The drummer Peter Criss actually sang that song. He also sang "Beth" another one of their most beloved songs.

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

This was a different side of Kiss that many fans weren't thrilled about when it was first released. They did a few change ups during the 80's, tweaking their sound and look, trying to stay current and relevant, including losing their makeup for a while. In 96 by overwhelming requests and support of fans, the original members rejoined in full makeup and began awe-inspiring old and new fans alike. All four original members took turns doing lead vocals at times. And Ace Frehly (lead guitar) is still my favorite of the bunch. I always gravitated towards the songs he sang more, and always thought his Kiss Solo LP was the best of the bunch. ✌️

[@BradCooney]

Totally agree. This song honestly is one of their crappiest and to this day I dislike it. I hope they react to more KISS, and pick a few songs that are so much better. This one blows.

[@Falconer1128]

Absolutely. "Torpedo Girl" is probably my favorite Kiss tracks and "New York Grove" too. Actually, I think "New York Grove" was on Ace's solo Kiss album. Ace also did a solo album called Frehley's Comet that I played till the tape in the cassette wore through... and by that time I was able to get it on cd and I played that to death as well. The whole album is great.

Yes, KISS did what they called an "unmasking" on MTV, back when MTV played videos. You want hard, listen to "God of Thunder". They have soooo many songs to choose from because they've been around for so long. It's a rabbit hole you definitely need to go down!!!! Try "Love Gun, Calling Dr. Love, You Put The X In Sex, Ugh All Night, Tears Are Falling, Forever, Lick It Up, Beth".

[@confucius12012]

I think the first video they did without makeup was Lick It Up.

Don't forget Wicked Lester. Wicked Lester was a New York-based rock and roll band best known as a predecessor to Kiss. The band formed in 1970. Two notable members were bassist Gene Klein and rhythm guitarist Stanley Eisen, who later adopted the stage names Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, respectively.

[@MiniBuster2]

When I hear this I'm back in 79/80, as a 14 year old kid, eating homemade pizza together with my best friend, and listening to Kiss. :)

[@alexandervasel6845]

"Beth" is a really good ballad. Detroit Rock City, Strutter, Love Gun, Deuce, etc. KISS had some good songs and really put on a show!

[@mike74188]

Add Black Diamond to this list

[@59elgreco]

Their song "Forever" is one of the best power ballads ever and from MTV unplugged their :I Still Love You" highlights Paul Stanley's incredible voice. Both worth a listen !!!

[@beady-eye_69]

KISS was my first concert ever, in 1979, at the ripe old age of 9!

[@janemcnaughten7275]

Hello. My family & I saw KISS here in New Zealand. The stage show was AMAZING. The music was phenomenal. Paul Stanley flew over the audience on a flying fox. My eldest Grandson has his second name after Paul as my youngest daughter is an utter KISS fan. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿

[@markmcelligott2542]

This was their attempt at disco, but the harmony in the chorus was the hook that made it all work. Kiss was the single most intense concert I ever attended... Spectacle plus!

[@TheAcarch2]

KISS's "DESTROYER" album was the very first album I ever owned. I was in a music store with my mom way back in 79. I was only 8 years old and she said "go ahead! pick any album you want". Obviously it was the cover that drew my attention, but back home I ended up listening to the whole record from start to finish. My Dad was like " You let him choose THAT music ?"

[@TheTnstick]

Me too great album

This came out when I was 16 and now I'm 59, it's crazy seems like it was just yesterday when it hit the airwaves..I bought the Dynasty album when it came out and still have it today .🤘😁👍🎸🎶🎵😝

[@consciousbeing1188]

The opening riff to this song is so iconic of the KISS sound it's probably one of the most recognisable Riffs in Rock history. Once you've heard it you'll never forget it. Screw the hardcore KISS fans with their anti-disco attitude, I say... This song was a huge hit for them and won them a lot of fans who wouldn't have otherwise cared for KISS at all.

[@richhope3043]

Kiss was on the downhill slide here in the states. They became popular with that song in South America and in Europe. No self respecting American Kiss fan really likes that disco song or the era for that matter. They became disco then bubble gum then they became really weird with the Elder. They went off the tracks starting with Dynasty.

[@christianman73]

I was a hardcore, hard-rocking KISS fan before "I Was Made for Lovin' You," and when that song was released, I loved it and the whole album, "Dynasty." I didn't think they were selling out by simply mixing in different styles with their usual hard rock sound. I never stopped being a KISS fan when so many fans abandoned them from 79-82. I loved the albums of that era and later.

[@mowerdan8133]

This was a huge radio & club hit in 1979. It was their contribution to Disco. Alot of Rock bands did a Disco-ish song in '78 or '79. By 1980, Disco was dead.

[@Rebelrocker69]

KISSco!!!

[@tiernet]

@@Rebelrocker69 Jumping on this Gene was the one who did all of the marketing pushes keeping Kiss alive and kicking thru the years. Basically he was willing to put or advertise Kiss in any way in any fashion.

[@xcronex]

Ace hated this song ... but it definitely blew up for them. In spite of being a fan since 1975 I tapped out after Kiss released Alive 2. I did recently see them on their 'farewell' tour and that was fun.

[@mowerdan8133]

@@tiernet They did what they needed to do to stay relevant back then as genres were changing rapidly. They saw the success of other rockers like the Stones, Bowie, Rod Stewart, Blondie, etc with their Disco tunes during the 78/79 time-frame.

[@BradReddekopp]

Gene has remarked that the studio version is disco but the live version is more rockin'. The audio of this video is from the studio version.

[@reganmccollum7778]

Been a KISS fan since 1975 I was 14 years old when I went my first KISS concert, but to me the best Kiss musically wasn't the original line-up. Not taking away anything from Peter Criss & Ace Frehley (Peter Criss is the reason I play a 12 piece drum-kit to this day. You need to check out the song Rise to it. with Bruce Kulick on lead guitar and the late -great Eric Carr on drums. He came in the band when original drummer P.C. had quit. Made them a harder hitting band. Bruce's brother Bob Kulick played on a go bit on their earlier albums and after Ace left the band they had Vinnie Vincent on lead guitar for a while(check lick it up) album ,then a guy name Mark Saint-John came in, but left for health reason. That when Bob Kulick told Gene & Paul to try out his brother. They are still Touring today with a guy name Tommy Thayer on lead guitar and Eric Singer on drums. Eric Singer came the band when 2nd drummer (E.C.) died from cancer in 91. Still a Great Band , especially their LIVE shows. You will never for-get a KISS CONCERT. Still remember my first all those years ago. seen 4

[@stevehamilton8824]

When Kiss went a little disco. But man what an album Dynasty was. As a kid, these guys were my favorites. So many songs to check out.

[@cburton7238]

“Beth” and “Forever” are two of their softer love songs. You’d like these two!

[@abolishwelfare]

If you want a Gene vocal, listen to “I Love It Loud”. Or for a twist, listen to Gene do vocals on “Unholy” while performing without makeup.

[@ericnelson7524]

Another cool video and my favorite song from the same album....and was filmed on the same exact day,is the song/video for "Sure know Something". Other than that,if you REALLY want to see classic KISS at their peak,you NEED to really watch some live performance videos from 1976-1978!!

[@jvidalw]

Gene is KISS's regular bassist, but on this particular tune it's Paul Stanley (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) on bass. This song was a conscious effort to write a hit single more in a Disco style. As you guys know, KISS is a hard rock band.

[@teresajarrell452]

I will second another RSR family member and recommend . . . BETH by KISS. I think you will enjoy it! Totally different sound!! 😃👍😃

[@cjpew]

Speaking of makeup 😁 - any chance you are going to react to Alice Cooper sometime? 'Cause you should! School's Out or better yet, Poison, would be a good start. Going to see him live in a few weeks.

[@rwcassel2970]

+1 for Alice Cooper, "Welcome To My Nightmare" is a must.

[@moviegirl1100]

Kiss (often stylized as KIϟϟ) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. Well known for its members' face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-late 1970s with its shocking live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics. The band has gone through several lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons being the only members to feature in every lineup. The original and best-known lineup consists of Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Simmons (vocals and bass), Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Criss (drums and vocals). With their make-up and costumes, the band members took on the personae of comic book-style characters: the Starchild (Stanley), the Demon (Simmons), the Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and the Catman (Criss). Due to creative differences, Criss had departed the band in 1980, and Frehley in 1982.

[@nickroddy9612]

Here is a little bit of history on this song: "I Was Made for Lovin' You" draws heavily from the disco style that was popular in late-1970s United States. According to legend, the members of the band were in conflict with their producers, who wanted the band to shift to a more commercial sound. In response, the band argued that lucrative disco songs could be written by anyone in a short time frame. The story goes that the song's demo was completed in mere hours after the bet. While the story is unproven, Paul Stanley, who co-wrote the song with Desmond Child and Vini Poncia, has stated that it was a conscious effort on his part to prove how easy it was to write and record a hit disco song.[5] Gene Simmons revealed in a 2018 interview that he always disliked the song because of his vocal part.

[@digimortalone2759]

In this bands original lineup, all guys sang lead on various songs. A great song/video of them without makeup is Tears Are Falling. Different drummer and guitarist though.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

Hello Amber. Paul Stanley does most of the lead singing, with Gene coming in second (if I remember correctly). I also know Peter Criss (drummer) sings a few songs. Two slower songs (ballads) you might like by Kiss are "Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman"

[@Bethann960]

I love the Ballad "Beth", You would never know it was KISS!

Hot August night....1979....Maple Leaf Gardens.....full tilt Dynasty Tour show....16 year old my and some buddies took the train into Toronto for the show....one of the best experiences of my 16th year (even though the band hated the tour, they still came through for their fans)
