The songs from Hotter Than Hell are just pure dirty and raw rock n roll. Such an underrated album.

Dr. Love is a classic. I remember my daughter singing this on our front step when she was two. Of course every time we go to Evansville Indiana and pass the Holiday Inn my kids point out that's where it was written.

I remember growing up as a Kiss fan my neighbor said they were all show. I told him listen to all the cool riffs and catchy lyrics. I was hooked when I heard alive. Ace wasn't the best technical guitarist,but his leads and licks, bends, and vibrato fit Kiss perfect.

Great list and nicely played sir. I'm an "Elder" appreciator and agree with you. "The Oath" is a great heavy riff. Would have been an absolute monster live. Honourable mention to the riff in "Under the Rose" too. Always loved that one. Ace actually re-did Cold Gin on one of his fairly recent albums too. (I've been a KISS fan since I was a kid in the 70's. Ace is the reason I picked up a guitar) 🤘😁🎸

Terrific riff that from "Strange Ways"... hats off to Mr Paul Frehley.

My favorite Kiss song is, "I Stole Your Love".. I jammed it in a couple different bands and it was always a crowd pleaser... Keep up the great jammin Metal Dad!!!

Black Diamond was one of my brothers fave KISS tunes. 👍I can still remember him jamming this in his bedroom with his turntable and those Kenwood Speakers! Thanks for this AWESOME walk down memory lane Metal Dad! 🎸❤👍

Kiss stood for being cool, guitar riffs that inovative, concert was actually a show. The first few were the best because the songs where pieces of other songs influenced by the later 60s and early 70s and when they out in 75,76,77, 78 they just road the top. Close to 5 decades later these songs still rock all over the world.

That shoeless sock is everything!❤️ Legend, absolutely LEGEND! DAD Rock and Rules! Long live Dad!

Ace created the KISS sound. ⚡

I went back to the very first album and have worked my way through their discography. It's amazing how many great songs are out there. Ace is the man. Growing up every kid wanted to be him. Lol

That ending was AWESOME!! Metal dad on a Les Paul playing classic Kiss=😍

I'm a big KISS fan and I enjoyed your KISS riffs, Metal Dad. You did them with class, energy, and taste.

I like “Mr. Speed”, that’s a killer riff. I like every song on “Destroyer”, especially “King of the night time world” and “Flaming Youth”. One album I love from the more modern-no makeup era is “Asylum” with Bruce Kulick on guitar. “Over the mountain”, “Tears are falling” and “who wants to be lonely” are great. The only problem that I have with that album is that it wasn’t recorded very well, it gets very harsh with midrange and treble , the higher you turn it up. I wish that I could have the original instrument tracks and mix it my way - properly.

Music from The Elder was an under appreciated album and I think it's great.

I grew up with Kiss as my first love of music. Been to many concerts. You honor them well with your awesome talent. The lazy boy in sox is makes your guitar playing seem as natural to you as breathing. I enjoy your videos. Keep doing your thing Metal Dad!

I'm of that age so I had BIG SMILES while watching this - heck maybe even a watery eye or two. 👍

Crazy chops Metal Dad!!! The archive photos take me back to the days of Hit Parader and Cream.

You nail them! One of my favourites is Calling Dr Love as well

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way about the outro to to Black Diamond!

Dude...!!! You just nailed it! amazing job, i really enjoyed watching this video and that amazing end with Calling Dr. Love and even playing the Ace's solo, woow, you're the man! Regards from Mexico city.

Super cool selection man...KISS FOREVER!!!!🤟🏼🎸🍻

Ok, the end really CRACKED ME UP, lol !!!

I love KISS Best band for me since - 84 Great video

kiss was my dad's fave band, it is my fave now. i wish he was able to see your videos.

Man these riffs take me back The hottest band in the world. 1976 i had to have the bicentennial KISS poster That rock n roll over year reminds me of then when the 5 & dime & drug stores carried all that kool stuff. Great job brother. I think i will grab a guitar and jam out a few hours!!!

I had a great time keep the videos up that was freaking awesome!!!

I know you were just having fun at the end there with Dr. Love but I was rolling 🤣 Very good guitar work!

Sounding superb on the guitar mate! keep up the good content.

BLACK DIAMOND IS MY FAVORITE KISS RIFF! THE REPLACEMENTS DID AN AWESOME COVER OF IT ON THEIR ALBUM 'LET IT BE".

You're getting a great tone out of that set up! Great job!

I love the still photos he is showing during the jam session. Very impressive 👍 I felt Parasite would be #1 until I noticed it was included, as #8, on volume 1.

Love these videos! In the future I know id love to see you do something like this but with other bands like VH andAC/DC 🤘🤘rock on metal dad

'Strange Ways', and 'Parasite Lady'...are two of my favorite KISS songs, and they are 'underplayed' and 'under appreciated'(IMHO).

Great, great show you got !!!! Very entertaining, awesome !!!!

Peter Kriss was underrated

I love these "Favorite Kiss Riffs" sections - but as i note to you and the other KISS'ers around: I LOVE THE ELDER !!! It's very exciting to hear this kind of compositions from KISS!!! :) - But then again: I love all KISS (alomost) so..... there's that! - Tnx for the video Metal Dad!!! ROCK ON! and Marry Christmas 2 You and Yours! 🤟😎

Love the video and the way you just lounge on the chair and play. Would love to know more about how you started playing and if you were ever in a band. I really enjoy your playing and videos.

Great vid and song choices! Part 3 pls 😂

Amazing List! Love Deuce! You should do a video of all 80's KISS songs

Dear Dad: it’s almost imperative a 3td part, with the excellent riffs from the Kulick brothers. Thank you for your videos, and kind regards from Mallorca, Spain 🤟

Kiss was my first favorit Band and you'r great guitar playing bring a lot of memory 's back ! Fantastic 🤟

love watching your videos and both kiss riff videos are awesome filled with 20 amazing Kiss riffs but still nothing from 1 of their heaviest albums Revenge

I'm in Ace camp myself I think rocket Ride is fantastic.

A great follow up video metal dad. I'm guessing you're around my age (56). My oldest brother was 6 years old then me, so I was exposed to rock n roll at a very young age. My first vinyl album was Kiss Destroyer at 11 years old. I still have it, and a Kiss 45 with Christine sixteen on it. You have to go down the Ace Frehley post Kiss solo albums now. He is the only original member of Kiss that went on to do anything incredible 😊

Just discovered your channel…awesome! Guitar sounds great!

I've been to every tour since 1977. And the convention in 1995. 🔥

It's a marvellous video! This man plays a lot! I liked it very much!

My fave is Come On And Love Me from Alive. I have it as the ring tone on my phone.

I like the Elder

Keep rockin' Metal Dad!

Totally awesome Riffage!! 🤘🏻

The Alive intro was done by JR Smalling, one of their bodyguards and road manager, while the others were done by professional voice overs. The guy who has done it with them for roughly 20 years is also on their crew, but I don’t know his name

Thumbs up for Black Diamond and Watching You. 🤘

Well done!! You certainly know how to play that guitar and thanks for the memories.✌

Kiss they rock! I remember in the late 70s and early 80s a friend and I. Would rollerskate to them and Van Halen also Ozzy lol. God Of Thunder was my jam!

You sir are awesome!!!! ❤ your channel. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Eric Carr was the reason I picked up drum sticks. His power house sound was amazing. I hate he’s gone. 😢

nice ace playing sounds great

Awesome job

the first time I ever heard of kiss was when I watched that one Scoby doo special when I was 3. I remember having nightmares for a month straight lol. Nevertheless, I got over the nightmares, and they are to this day one of my favorite bands!

The Elder aged really well. I did not like it at the time, but over the years I like it more and more. It's really got some great moments. I wish I could say the same for Unmasked.

Dude you are awesome I loved kiss when I was in jr high.

Love these videos! When is #3 coming out?!

Actually Ace has recorded a version of Cold Gin with John 5 no less. Its off his seventh solo album Origins VOL 1 check it it's a lot heavier than the original and brings a different flavor to the song

I feel sorry for the younger generation that never saw them live. I went to every KISS concert I could, I wish I had saved all my ticket stubs, the only bad concert that had was none of them, I can't say that about some bands.

"Deuce", as far as THIS old fart is concerned( 59 yrs old), is the best concert-opening song ever.. I didnt discover KISS until 9th grade(1977) when a friend of mine GAVE me his KISS ALIVE! album.. Deuce blew me away.. I had just finished 3 yrs of guitar lessons and switched over to Bass. I had some catching up to do as far learning KISS tunes.Of course I would later branch out( VH, Pat Travers, etc etc) but Gene was my first bass hero regardless of what some people might think of his overall ability..Thanks,Gene!

When can we expect The Metal Dad Tour? 🎸 w/ …….Recliner and All. 🤘🏽 Come on man there is an entire new generation out there thirsting for some real rock/metal music from someone who lived it 🎶 🎵

great stuff.. many blessings...

Hey metal dad you forgot 6 foot hot look All American Man. That opening riff is heavy as hell. Crank that one out for an old detroit born kiss fan! Rock on dude!

nice guitar! I think we have the same guitar! love these old epiphone model

Dr Love my fav Kiss song too! The solo is killer

That was fun!

Love your style !

Pretty darn good dude

thats op metal dad! keep playing forever!

Badass!! A Les Paul ALWAYS has the best killer tone and you have the feel down great!

Awesome video by my friend

Superb stuff!!

Lot of people complain about dynasty but it's one of my favorites

The intro at KISS AlIVE 2 is GENE SIMMONS' voice later mixed in!

I've always thought(since i bought the single in '78) that the "stab" at the end of of hard times was taken from 2000 man and it works better than the fade out

As a kid, I wanted a Tobacco Burst Les Paul.

Waiting for part three!!

Parabéns pelo trabalho!!

HELL YEA! the opening riff was the bomb! 🔷

You forgot Dark Light from the Elder. Awesome heavy and dark sound.

How does Middle dad and his family not have a million subscribers yet I want to get this guy a millions of subscribers

Strange Ways is one of the best Kiss riffs ever.

So many great riffs, and not only the standards 🥰

Watching you is my favorite riff and song by Kiss

DAMN STRAIGHT BROTHER!! PREACH!!

Deuce is the best opening song ever!

Rock on Metal Dad !!!!

Mi hermano Buen trabajo... Admiro tu trabajo Kiss es mi vida entera Saludos cordiales desde CD Neza

That’s awesome you played something from the elder. Only you and dark are awesome

Ace redid cold gin on his origins volume 1 , all great tracks on this list!

Black Diamond kicks some serious

Love it , great job! But how come nothing from Animalize? Keep rocking!

Powerful riffs by kiss keep rocking respect
