Let the haters hate. Few bands have done what kiss has. I still love them. Kiss army rules

this is the reason why Paul has lost his voice.....40 years of this kind of singing. i don't care if he lip sync or using backing tracks. Paul has nothing to prove....Paul still gives 110%!!!

PAUL HAD THE BEST VOICE IN ROCK AT ONE POINT

Holy shyyyiittttt!!!! Just heard this song for the first time. Wow. Holy hell Kiss that was freaking incredible. Instruments on point. Voice out of this world. Whole new depth to the band. I didn’t know they got down like this. Absolutely loved this. Haven’t heard a song that grabbed me like this song did in quite a while. Beautifully

KISS DOES NOT SUCK!!! They are amazing!! I recommend: I stole your love, Detroit rock city, and dirty livin’. Pauls is one of the best singers of all time. He was in his forties when this performance was out. Too bad he abused his voice in the 89’s and it isn’t what it was anymore.

Paul has a R&B band Soul Station. He also did a stint back in the 90's playing in the Phantom of the Opera .

When Paul's voice was Golden! Never got the credit he deserved overall in Rock circles.

They started in the early 70s and the reason they went with the wild look and the makeup is that they wanted to put together a show that would blow everybody's mind. Then in the 80s, as they evolved, they decided to drop all that and perform as a straight ahead rock band. This was the MTV Unplugged special that spearheaded Paul's and Gene's reunion with original members Ace and Peter (lead guitar and drums, respectively). The reunion brought back the costumes and makeup which they've kept ever since, despite Ace and Peter leaving the band a second time. They've had a few turkeys, but for the most part they've put out a lot of phenomenal music over the years. They definitely have A LOT more talent than some people give them credit for.

Paul has always been the heart of this band and when its just him and the guitar...magic happens. Paul's voice is so underappreciated.

Bruce Kulick on the Ovation Acoustic is so awesome. The original of this song is great, but this version, stripped down is beyond outrageous.

Tears are falling.

Kiss Unplugged really shows their talent

Paul Stanley is one of the best front men in Rock!!!! He has it all .. the looks, the talent, the voice and he is sexy as hell. That note he holds...and he is sitting down..that is extreme vocal and diaphragm control.. not many these days could do this. Also, he is completely deaf in his right ear. The fact he can stay in range with that kind of control, range and reverb is BEYOND Amazing!!!!! Paul Stanley deserves more credit than he gets. Loved him from the second i heard him at age 12! Kiss Rocks...always will.❤

I've been a KISS fan for over 40 years, and I loved this period of the band. Paul's voice has always been amazing and you can see it here. There's another short video of Paul during Farewell tour live in Providence doing I Still Love you , electric version really shows off his voice again.

Paul is the man! Power and soul in his voice. No matter what he sounds like today, nobody can take away what this man did for Rock and Roll. Funny thing is, in the 70's and at the top of the bands career Paul was a pretty good vocalist, but in the 80's Paul really ramped himself up to become a great vocalist!

the plugged in full blown electric version of this song kills it even better

When Paul was in his prime he could compete with anyone. Amazing vocalist

This is one of the top unplugged performances you'll ever witness imo.

KISS is an iconic band with amazing hit songs and I always enjoyed listening to them. They're one of the greats. 😎

After over 40yrs, they still sell. What happened to all them, “boy bands?” Long and forgotten! The ones that have shit to say about KISS? It’s called jealous. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Omg! I love this song!! kiss has many amazing ballads like "forever", "god get rock 'n roll to you", "Beth", "nothing can keep me from you", "sure know something" etc

This is the best example of KISS at its best. This lineup is easily the most talented and it’s because the makeup was gone and the music really needed to carry them. I don’t think anybody could watch this and be able to deny how talented KISS and Paul Stanley specifically are.

From the initial few guitar notes, this always brings this 58yo guy to tears! F.ckin amazing performance by all if them!

This is why I love KISS! My favorite band!

From this same Unplugged show, you should check out Nothin To Lose! It's a fun rocker!

I'd never heard this song and damn. It's pretty good. I'm a huge metal head but KISS is a band that never grabbed me. Maybe they have now. This is why The Adventures of TNT is so much fun. I'm hearing new tunes, too. Squawk n' Roll!

He wrote this song about his girlfriend Donna Dixon (a big TV star in the 80s)! He was watching the news and saw she was getting married to Dan Akroid. Paul didn’t even know she had broke up with him or was dating Dan! It was a huge shock to learn on TV

people are so niave over 100 million records sold still going after 48 years and still have the best live shows ever and back in the day tight as can be, All 4 of the origials are great musicians and who ever says they cant sing really need to listen to this.

Don't listen to the misinformed, listen to KISS alive 1🔥🔥🔥thanks for showing KISS some love guys!

OH MY GOD! Im a huge kiss fan! So much so that I have tickets to four of their upcoming Australian shows costing me roughly $2500 but I've never listened to this song ever before but I instantly love it!! Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing song.

I’m 26 and been listening to KISS since before I could walk, talk, do anything. This song still gives me chills every time I hear it.

Check out the whole KISS Unplugged concert.

They’re talented musicians and they have always had the best playing with them as a part of their different versions throughout the years. Some masters of their instruments.

This was a fun show, debuted on Halloween night on MTV Unplugged. For a brief time, at the end of the show, there were 6 KISS members as Ace and Peter joined Paul, Gene, Eric and Bruce on stage.

As a lifelong kiss fan, I can admit, kiss did succeed above their talent level musically. But, theyre ability to sell themselves and put on a killer stage show are also talents. So did they really over achieve, or just achieved using the skills they were given.

Here are some cool songs that guys like me who caught on to them back in the beginning loved and why they grew to be big in the first place. These are older songs off early albums but boy do they rock. "100,000 Years", "Rock Bottom", "Watching You", "Cold Gin", "Firehouse", "Parasite" "Black Diamond"

still gives me the chills... great reaction vid

I stole your love, hard luck woman, strutter

This was my first time hearing this, Paul gave master class in vocals on this

You should provide a little more context to people saying they "suck". More recently Paul's voice has been shot and so that greatly impacts how they sound live, but outside of the last decade, they have been fantastic. Every Kiss fan will tell you this concert here, is one of the greatest things Kiss has ever done, and the best Paul has ever sounded, this show is iconic.

Gotta see them live in concert. The fans are on their feet from the minute the band plays the first note of the first song til the end. Paul Stanley even tour for a bit with the Phantom Of The Opera tour group. He played the Phantom

You should hear Paul song this from his solo album (One Live Kiss). That version will give you goosebumps. He really sings from his soul. You can tell he's thinking of someone that was once very special to him.Very intense and sung with much emotion.

This was from MTV Unplugged which launched their reunion tour with the original lineup in Full makeup.

The BEST MTV Unplugged ever. Finally ppl can accept that they ARE talented!!

Im gonna say maybe an unpopular opinion. Kiss is highly underrated! Yea underrated. Great songs…. Stamina… longevity…. Great vocal duo and so much FUN!!!

It’s crazy you said Paul could sing R&B because he grew up listening and loving Motown and all it’s artist so he is R&B in his heart. Paul also has a R&B album out now in his 60s which I listen to every time I get into my car because he kills it and it’s so soothing with songs that takes me back to my childhood and I sing right along with him lol. Paul’s voice in those days was so underrated and unappreciated but IMO he had one of the best voices in Rock. I love your reaction and I appreciate that you know and love great music. 🙏❤️

Listen to King of the Night time world, Room Service, Fire house, Got to Choose.

I don't listen to Kiss much anymore but....when I do, it's like a trip down memory lane and all the memories of good times with friends had back in the day. They may be gone but not forgotten.

Our Patron Greg is also a reactor. Check out his channel and show him some love. Let him know TNT sent'cha: kzfaq.info/love/lFFcZDo9Jd8cFYmk7qrKXQ

One of my all time favorite KISS songs. I love your guys reaction!

Growing up with kiss as my favourite band my entire life, and watching your 1st time reactions Enjoy the band makes me Enjoy their music through fresh eyes thank you!

Guys as I long time fan of KISS and especially Paul Stanley (who I was lucky to meet once) I loved your reactions on this one. Great video, really enjoyed the comments... Regards from Australia

I’m a huge fan of Kiss for their hard rock but I love the unplugged album! It’s full of really good songs and most people won’t even believe you that’s it’s actually Kiss. Lol

I loved this reaction, you guys have watched the absolute best version of this song from the UNPLUGGED session, this song is one of my fave KISS songs but this is the best version of it, just raw and pure........Love you guys from Australia xoxoxo

I watched this Live back in the day on MTV...it aired after my day at work and I went to my fridge and grabbed a beer ... flopped on the sofa and instantly it aired...perfect timing and a great memory

'Forever' is another great ballad, by them!! And from the non-makeup era, too!!!

Paul Stanley is a straight up Rock ⭐️ Kiss is Legend ! They’re like in their 70s and still going strong

Exactly let the haters hate. Kiss are living legends. They made their mark in music globally. Thank you Kiss for all the memories. Rock on amazing brother's your legacy is intact ❣️🔥🔥🔥🤘

"I was made for loving you". KISS Alive IV symphony in Australia. KISS, Sydney, and the Melbourne symphony orchestra had one hec of a rock n roll party that night.

This song is about actress Donna Dixon with whom Paul had a relationship going and she kept the fact that she was dating (and eventually married) Dan Ackroid behind his back a secret from him. That thing of "Singing it like you lived it" certainly applies to Paul here.

this was from an MTV concert, and at the end, brought back two original members to play, Ace and Peter. this was a great time in their career. back in 1988 my high school had a lip sync and my three friend did KISS Detroit rock City in make up, we came in second place, the following semester, they had again but with the second high school in our town. we were asked by the teacher in charge to do the same act again. we wanted to do different song, since it was two day event, one for fun, one for voting, they let us pick second song for the fun night. we picked I love it loud, the teacher said it wasnt good enough? so we were slow to give new song, we took beginning of Beth, and at pause in song went into Love gun.. the guy on drums was on top of a stage piece that was part of the stage craft class.. he came walking down lip singing Beth, tossed two roses out to audience (one to the VP of school) then got back to his drums right when the break between happened, and into love gun... crowd went crazy!! sorry reliving my glory days... I wish we had video of this day...

ask any black metal band who influenced them and they all say KISS!!!....their influence on Metal is undeniable!!!

A few years after this MTV Unplugged performance, he took on the role of Phantom of the opera. Yes. Paul Stanley of KISS was an opera singer and was the phantom of the opera. So anyone who thinks rock stars can't sing, Paul Stanley proves you wrong.

I love your reaction to this! You guys can really see and understand the true talent KISS has! Please watch and react to more KISS especially some live footage from 1976 and 1977!!

One of, if not THE best MTV Unplugged performances ever. With some people, Kiss can't win ... when they were in their 70s heyday everyone said "they can't play, it's all about the makeup and costumes" but when they took it off in 1983 those same people said "they're like any other hair band ... they need to go back to the costumes & big show" LOL But hey, these guys know what they're doing and can hold their own against any band to this day. They are more versatile than most people think and have done everything from very heavy rock to ballads; "I Still Love You' is one of the few that has somewhat of an R&B vibe (as you guys mentioned); another track that has a bit of that without being a straight ballad is "Sure Know Something." Might want to check it out.

Best vocalist and front man of all time

Remarkable! One of the best vocal performances I’ve ever heard! I gotta walk this one off!! Lol

This was back when Paul's voice was at its peak. They had Bruce Kulick on guitar and in my opinion, the best guitarist they ever had. Eric Singer on drums who is only second to Eric Carr...a very close second. Gene...is just Gene. Gene is what people think all rockers should be. The 80s and early 90s they put out their best music. One of the biggest complaints about KISS is they 'sold out.' Somehow these KISS haters think KISS was supposed to be in it for the adulation? Anyone that thinks a band is only in it for the admiration and not the money is fooling themselves. KISS never said they were anything other than a rock band and they wanted to make it big. They wanted to blow up the rock scene with their outrageous look, their hard playing and energetic performance. And they did. Many older fans took Criss and Frehley leaving personally. They felt betrayed. But you can't keep going when certain members do not have the heart for the business. Personal demons entered the mix and were dealt with accordingly. KISS grew, became better. The music was better, Stanley learned that he didn't have to yell constantly and people finally heard his beautiful voice... new fans loved it. New fans loved their shows. Some older fans did too. Music was written and performed by a band that has never had an equal in the business. Paul Stanley may be considered as one of the best frontmen in rock history. His only real competition would be David Lee Roth and Freddie Mercury. And as for longevity, they've lasted longer than any of the newer bands by decades. They're right up there with the likes of Led Zepplin and The Stones. When they retire, it will be sad and an empty space will be left in rock, but it will be a well deserved retirement. A life of music that will be remembered for an eternity! ROCK ON!!!!

No Matter what Others say..KISS fucking rules..!!!

Straight up banger...KISS: I've Had Enough! Mic Drop!

Revisiting this reaction vid a year later. Still delivers ❤ KISS's detractors tend to get hung up on the makeup and can't recognize the real talent. Sucks to be them.

A more recent and heavy KISS song is "Within" which is a Gene song from the "Psycho Circus" album from 1998. It's a very under-rated KISS song.

Thats a better version then the original album version!! Great reaction!!

Even Gen Z knows Kiss rules!

Fun Fact: Paul Stanley played the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera for a couple years I believe in Toronto yes he could sing unfortunately his voice is blown out now.

amazing band.great musicians.god gave rock and roll to you .please

Thank you two for this reaction. I've been a huge Kiss fan for a long time and its pleasing to see someone giving them the credit they deserve for their music. By the way I enjoy your other reactions as well. You guys are great.

When you tour as relentlessly as they did, year in, year out, you get VERY good at what you do. One thing to consider-he is playing rhythm guitar as well as singing like that. In 1999 Paul played one of the last Phantoms of the Opera. No one sounds like Paul Stanley.

Who ever suggested this.... thank you thank you THANK YOU! Favorite Kiss song... is a tie between Parasite & Dr. Love.

Seen them more than any other band! 7 times and never gets old!

This is my favorite reaction to this song, i have met all original members, plus eric carr and bruce kulick

I just saw them a couple weeks ago they still know how to put on a great show.

Perfect concert to showcase their talent. Paul Stanley's vocals are off the chart and fun fact. He was in Phantom of the Opera playing the Phantom in the nineties. Nothin' to Lose is also fun. Bruce Kulick on guitar there.

This whole acoustic set was great. Gotta watch it in its entirety. This was where they did the reunion that started their takeover reunion tour with makeup from 1980 to 1996 they preformed without makeup

This is the HIGHEST RATED MTV UNPLUGGED ever shown!

Firstly it’s HUGE to see ppl that appreciate what KISS is instead of the baggers that have basically no idea, when the perception was so different. . That same show has the original 4 performing together for the first time since ‘79? That’s ‘95? Check out 2000 Man from the same MTV Unplugged show and also Nothing To Lose which has the band current at the time of the show and the other original 2 (6 on stage with 2 drummers). Very cool.

Man... I really kind of wish you both grew up with me in Montreal in the 80s, discovering this awesomeness together. I love your reactions. "T", you the man for sure... you *totally* get it. On the flip side, yes I love rock and metal... but somehow my path has also lead me to Seal, Jon Batiste and others, which I love. Thanks for these reactions... they're really entertaining. :D

The haters are gonna hate!!!! KISS is one of the best live performances you will ever see. They leave it all on the stage when they are done. Weather it be a huge area, or an intimate acoustic show. KISS performs...

Very true for someone as old and still giving that 110% you have to respect

Paul wrote this song after a breakup with a beautiful lady. This came from his heart and he killed it.

You guys have got to watch the whole KISS MTV Unplugged show, you will not be disappointed.

You guys will love the entire Unplugged album. You should watch the whole thing. One of their best performances.

Best Ballad of all?!? This was my shiznit!

Paul Stanley does have an amazing voice

Wow, Thank you, THANK YOU for reacting to this!! So glad . Would like for you to back track and watch this whole show. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Ive been a fan for 45 years! KISS RULES!!!

You guys are killing it! You have so many different kinds of songs and you give them all a chance! I love your channel!!! Youre good people!!!

If you want an awesome Paul vocal and a more obscure KISS song check out “Nowhere to Run”

Spot on, and paul was very influenced by all the great r&b. He was a huge motown fan. And they wrote all their own music btw, they did have brian adams, michael bolton and desmond child as co writers though on a lot of tunes

You're not the only one that thinks Paul had a good voice... in the mid 90s, relatively close to when this show was taped, he did a 6 month stint as the phantom of the ooera in Toronto. This version of i still love you is from 1996, when Paul and gene were 45 and 47 yrs old, and 14 yrs after it appeared on its original album, I've always been impressed by it
