You can't imagine how huge this band was in the late 70s. They were everywhere! Detroit Rock City is my favorite; highly recommended. On the other end of the spectrum, "Beth" was a surprisingly beautiful ballad. KISS is worth your time exploring more of their work!

[@angelomaurizio1668]

You stole my thunder, Pong! And believe it or not, that was their biggest hit to date. Their album covers used to terrify me as a kid. But when the makeup is off and theyre off the stage they can be the nicest guys you'd ever met.

[@johngrady769]

Btw... 50 years since they started and *KISS* is still selling out arenas and stadiums WORLDWIDE !!! 🤟

[@Doodsy1975]

One of the biggest bands of all time. They were huge in the US from 1975 to 1979. Their popularity faded there in the 80's, but they were huge in other parts of the world in the early 80's. Then they took the makeup off in 1983 and became just another hair metal band. They also had numerous lineup changes from 1980 to 1984. Their second drummer, Eric Carr, (not the one in this video) joined them in 1980, but died of cancer in 1991. The original lineup (which is the lineup in this video) re-united and put the makeup back on in 1996 and they became massive again, selling out all over the world. They are finally on their retirement tour now, and after 50 years, KISS will finally finish. They started out as a hard rock band, then went to pop rock for a while, then tried a concept album which didn't work, before going back to a hard rock band again. They have an incredible history and lots of great songs, despite not really ever being taken seriously for their music. KISS were always known for their amazing stage show, make up and costumes. But they do have lots and lots of good songs. They have made so many albums. They have been wildly popular and have an army of fans around the world. And this is probably their biggest hit. Which is funny, because it is basically a disco song, and KISS were anything but a disco group for the majority of their career.

@@MorenikejiTaiwo ''Their popularity faded there in the 80's,'', Well, yes, but it's not that simple. Each decade ushers in a change. The era of makeup was over. Kiss had to reinvent themselves or fade away. They made the decision to show their faces and it worked. With all the criticism, one thing is for certain, they extended their careers.

[@roya.cathcartjr.5042]

​@@MorenikejiTaiwoa few details left out by the above commenter is that when Kiss took off the make-up during the 1980's and performed it was with only two of the original members Lead Singer Paul Stanley and Bass Guitarist Gene Simmons the drummer Peter Cris and Lead Guitarist Ace Frehley left Kiss for solo careers. Kiss fans of the 1970's hated this song as Kiss was a Rock Band but this song is more inline with Disco Music of the era and the Kiss fans thought they selling out to the mainstream music market.

[@montanamade8712]

I would argue that “Rock and Roll All Night” is easily their most famous, though this song “I Was Made For Loving You” was more played internationally.

I never took Kiss too seriously, but I can't deny they rock! And, I have to say, Paul Stanley can sing!

[@jsgraham67]

Paul could sing very well in 1979. But today, his voice has been going downhill. I guess that's what to expect from 50 years on the road, playing in front of packed arenas. He's still my second favorite front man of all time, behind Freddie Mercury.

[@droberts1664]

KISS was a major band in the 70s,they were my favorite rock band back then. I even had the damn comic book.

[@rider_on_the_storm228]

Kiss started out as wicked Lester ,with two different members ,later on ,peter criss(drummer) and ace frehley (solo guitar) player joined the band and formed kiss ,peter criss was replaced by Eric Carr,who died on the same day as Freddy Mercury from queen. Ace frehley was replaced by vinni Vincent ,later on replaced by Mark St John who died of writers syndrome.His spot was taken by Bruce kulick who played with kiss for a long time ,eric Carr ,was replaced by Eric singer ,who played in big bands like Alice Cooper and many more, around 1996 kiss did a unplugged session on mtv,with the original band members and the new members without make -up.What turned out to become the reunion tour,with the four original four members ,around 1999 the cracks in the band began again ,and soon peter left and Eric singer was called on again to take a seat behind the drums ,with the make up of the original drummer.Later on ace left ,and was replaced by Tommy theater,who was already with kiss for many years ,but in the back ground as a producer ,making video clips for kiss ,and as a fact,it was Tommy thayer,who had to learn ace frehley all the original songs for the reunion tour,ace forgot most of them.Tommy replaced ace ,until now and until the last show this year ,listen to more good songs from kiss ,like rock n roll all night ,nothing to loose,shout it out loud ,forever,talk to me ,tossin and turnin, hope you enjoy it . A life long kiss fan

[@bobschenkel7921]

KISS was a HUGE band in the early and mid-1970's, I saw them for the first time in 1976 on the "Destroyer" album tour, and then a couple of years later on their "Dynasty" tour. The change was scary. In 1976 there were rock and roll fans at the show, with lots of fireworks in the crowd and on stage. By 1979 there were 8 year old kids with their parents walking the halls, and everything seemed much "safer" and less intense. Old KISS is the best stuff, "Black Diamond", "Cold Gin", "Deuce", "Strutter", "100,000 Years" and "Rock and Roll All Night (And Party Every Day)".

One of the few bands that originally formed in the late 60s early 70s made a name for themselves in Japan. The Kabuki theater makeup was a trademark of this band for many years. They are still together and still doing shows albeit at a somewhat slower pace. Gene and Paul still collaborate together and also work to produce other bands as well.

Watching these girls watch this song for the first time is so amazing. This woman is like on her first date and a total virgin. Then Paul get all her juices flowing and she doesnt no how to control those bad thoughts going round and round in her pretty little head but her smile begins to grow bigger and bigger as paul is owning her.

Their opening hype man would always introduce them with "Ladies and Gentlemen! You wanted the Best? You got the best! KISS!" From that point on it was one huge party.

Lead singer Paul Stanley-"The Star Child", Ace Frehley on Guitar-"Space Man", Gene Simmons on Bass-"The Demon", and Peter Chriss on Drums-"The Cat". They were huge in the 70s. This one was from the 80s just before removing their make up. Check out some of their older ones. They have a great ballad called "Beth". I think you'll love that one. Gene was known for his loooong tongue, spitting blood, and blowing fire during shows. "You wanted the best. You got the best! The loudest rock band of all time-KISS!!"

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

@@MorenikejiTaiwo you ain’t seen nothing yet. Hehehehe

[@j.woodbury412]

@@MorenikejiTaiwo There is a reason behind each performer's makeup and onstage personas. Gene Simmons' character, The Demon comes from his love of comic book super heroes and monster movies. Paul Stanley's character, Star Child comes from his desire to be famous. Ace Frehley's character, Space Ace came from his love of 1950's science fiction movies and Peter Criss' character, The Cat Man came not from his love of cats, but from his reckless lifestyle. Apparently, he's had so near death experiences that his friends told him he must have nine lives like a cat. Ace Frehley is the one who came up with the KISS logo, with the lightning bolt "SS". The logo is banned in Germany due to the resemblance between the lightning bolt "SS" and Nazi "SS". This has led to accusations against the band of being Nazis. Gene Simmons, born Chaim Witz in Israel, and Paul Stanley, born Stanley Eisen, in Queens, New York are actually Jewish, and Simmons actually went to Hebrew school to become a Rabbi.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

Paul Stanley hated disco and said it takes no talent to write a disco tune. He wrote this quickly (with 2 others) and it became a huge hit. KISS was huge, and especially in Japan since they used their Kabuki style make up. Back in the 70's, I saw them live and Gene Simmons spit fire up into the air, caught some of the ropes on fire that were used to suspend some equipment above them on stage. A stage hand noticed it getting out of control and came onto the stage with a fire extinguisher while the band was jamming. He put out the fire, and the band never paused, or skipped a beat, just kept playing.......

If I'm remembering right, KISS wrote this song as a way to throw shade on Disco. They asserted that anyone could /quickly/ crank out a disco tune and lyrics, but it kind of backfired when it became one of their most popular songs.

KISS is one of the greatest bands ever, not only in showmanship, but actual talent. Paul Stanley is the lead singer, and he is criminally underrated. Glad you finally got around to listening to them. Morenikeki - you are one of my favorite KZbin reactioners. Please keep checking out more of their songs, they have a wide range of songs, stuff you would not expect from them. They did a live MTV unplugged song called - "I still love you" without the makeup. I think you would like that one.

[@neild3074]

In 1979 Paul Stanley was frustrated that disco was dominating radio and Rock was shunned as yesterdays music. He told Gene Simmons that disco was such a basic format that he could write the best disco song ever. The result was "I Was Made For Lovin' You".

[@mikeellis3240]

KISS came out in 1974 and the music critics only gave them 5 years tops and they’d be gone. Well, guess what? 49 years and they are still at it. They have a huge catalogue. Songs from the first era of make up years that I recommend are: Black Diamond, 100,000 Years, Strutter, Cold Gin, Duece, Firehouse, Hotter Than Hell, Got To Choose, Goin’ Blind, Let Me Go Rock n Roll, Comin’ Home, Parasite, Nothin’ To Lose, Strange Ways, She, Rock n Roll All Night, C’Mon And Love Me, Shout It Out Loud, Detroit Rock City, Flaming Youth, Great Expectations, God Of Thunder, Beth, Sweet Pain, Do You Love Me?, King Of The Night Time World, Take Me, I Want You, Calling Dr Love, Makin’ Love, Ladies Room, Mr Speed, Love Gun, Christine Sixteen, I Stole Your Love, Almost Human, Plaster Caster, Shock Me, And Then She Kissed Me, Hooligan, Tomorrow And Tonight, Got Love For Sale, I Love It Loud, and War Machine. Then during the non make up years: Lick It Up, Fits Like A Glove, Young and Wasted, Exciter, All Hell’s Breakin’ Loose, Thrills In The Night, Under The Gun, Heaven’s On Fire, Uh All Night, Tears Are Falling, Crazy, Crazy Nights, Unholy, Domino, God Gave Rock n Roll To You II, and I Just Wanna. Then from ‘96 to present with make up back on: Psycho Circus, We Are One, and All For The Glory. It’s a pretty deep rabbit hole to dive into. I’m gonna be 56 in a couple months and have been a fan since I was 6. Hope you can check a majority of these out. Thanks

This song came about with a little challenge between Paul Stanley and the producer of the album. Stanley told the producer writing a disco tune isn't that hard, so the producer took him up on that. Paul got with one of his pals who helps write and he told his friend about the challenge. Well in time the song is produced. Also, this song Gene Simmons cannot stand. When Paul announced that he has this song ready Gene replied this great so what is my part and Paul replies " its Do ah Do do do do" Gene with a rejected look on his face tells Paul. "You are killing me here".

KISS was/is one of THE MOST popular and influential rock bands in the world. When this video and the video for "Sure Know Something' were made,KISS had just come off of a HUGE 4 year popularity wave,especially here in the U.S. This song and the album it came off of was released in 1979 at the height of the disco craze. You REALLY need to watch and react to some live performances of them from their classic early to mid 70's era. I've been a diehard fan since 1976,but for me the early years were the best! There's a lot of really cool stuff as well from the non makeup years (1983-1995) is great too. They put the makeup back on in 1996 and still wear it to this day. They are celebrating their 50th year as a band this year!

This song was KISS' response to the disco craze that was prevalent at the time. This era of the band was NEVER seen, publicly, without makeup.

'Epic track' ,the most beautiful reaction smile on YT🇸🇪

[@jondunmore4268]

Yes, check out KISS, a "new" band.

[@lindah6954]

KISS is a 1970's American Rock/Disco Band. They blended hard rock and disco music with a sound like no other band. They have many rememberable love Balots as well. KISS was the first band to use a face paint and costumes to individually identify each band member and instrument they played. Parents hated them. lol

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

the parents hated them part in your comment😁

So in an interesting twist of fate, their biggest hit was this song they made to survive the disco era, but because they're not a disco group, they kind of used what made disco fun while inadvertently doing away with what made disco obnoxious and geniusly stumbled upon creating one of the few timeless "disco" songs.

I have no idea how you’ve never heard of KISS before, but I’m damn glad you have now.

Glad you have been welcomed to the world of KISS. The song that you reviewed was one of their hits in the later portion of the 70s. It was called their "disco contribution." But primarily the band was more of a heavier rock and roll platform. Like the other contributors I could suggest a whole bunch of different songs to listen to and review. For example... Detroit Rock City... Beth... Cold Gin... Rock And Roll All Night . And so many more. Each one of the band members had their own persona Gene Simmons as the demon... Bass player Paul Stanley. The Starman. Lead vocals and guitar Peter Criss. The Catman. Drummer. Ace Frehley. The Spaceman. Guitar and vocals Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have been with the group since its start in 1973. The other members either were rotated out or left the band for miscellaneous reasons. What I would strongly encourage you to do is to do a Wikipedia on the band so that way you have a much broader perspective as far as who they are. They kept the makeup on until the mid-1980s but then they decided to take the makeup off so people could see who they were. Although this attracted a lot of people, people also like them having the makeup on so they did a series of shows with and without the makeup. I would encourage you to do a search for the MTV kiss un masking and you can see what they look like without the makeup. This year marks their 50th Anniversary that they have been together. This year will most likely be the last year that they will perform because it has now been 50 years and as the band members are starting to get older and have different things happening in their lives. I would strongly encourage you to look at some of the different videos that they have done. As you peruse through them the band was not only for the vocals as far as who they were and the makeup, but also a lot of the different things that they did. For example Gene Simmons would spit blood, Ace Frehley would get his guitar smoking as if it was on fire... nevermind the pyrotechnics which were part of the band and fire and explosions on the stage and the Incredible sound and light shows as well! And so many more things. I don't want to ruin it for you I would like you to be able to pursue this information and see what you find. But they are one of the highest grossing bands of all-time! Two other videos I would suggest that you look at. Do a KZbin search for the following Kiss rock am ring Lick it up (fire and pyrotechnics sample.) Kiss rock am ring Detroit Rock City ( lightshow and pyrotechnics) Kiss rock am ring Firehouse ( Gene Simmons spits fire) Hope this helps and keep up the great music revealing! :-)

Rumor has it, kiss stood for knights in Satan's service which was disproved by the band years later, this was a good song by them it was at the height of the disco era late 70s has that disco / rock sound

[@matskarlsson3219]

Hi Morenikeji! Great band one of the most successful of all time. Suggestion another great song "KISS - Psycho Circus" (Official Music Video).

[@albertfrederick521]

Welcome to the KISS ARMY. If you were around in the 70s, you belonged. Love your reaction and as always that beautiful smile. Please never stop smiling.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

Yayyy! Thanks a lot.🙏😍

[@killerseddie8295]

Proof that KISS did make a disco album.

[@naithngr81-jh2bb]

song not album

[@Evelynne-zm9vg]

Went to their concert in the 70s..... great concert. I was deaf for 3 days and wasn't that close to the speakers. haha. About the 13th row. Worth it.

[@MrJeddYoung]

Welcome to the 1970s. The greatest of all decades. In my opinion, KISS was made up of 4 good (not great) musicians, but they were brilliant at marketing themselves. Part glam-rock, part hard rock and part pop-music - they took features of other popular genres and combined them into this unique blend. And they marketed themselves brilliantly. In professional music - there is always a tension between the art and the business. KISS went all-in on the business side. They were pioneers in licensing their images to other companies to use on their products. When I was a kid in the 1970s, it was common to see other kids with t-shirts and lunch pales with the KISS images all over them. KISS will never be remembered as one of the greatest bands of all time - but they made a lot of money whereas other bands suffered from the abuse of their record labels and made very little money. So they were good musicians but brilliant businessmen. Thanks for your reactions.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

Oh wow👏👏👏

[@timbrown5720]

My first 45 rpm record was this song. Had large collection but this was first I chose on my own. Mom had to buy cause I was little.
