Kiss should never apologize for this album or songs like this they are some of their best
I usually don't like sellout Albums / Weird Albums BUT Unmasked & Music from the Elder are Awesome ones.
im Gonna do a Video Review on the Elder Soon
A rare solo by Paul and a great one! Love Gene's voice!
100! Great overall and fits the song as good as any, ever
Omg. Did Paul just play solo. That's super rare. 😂
@@keshid3su38He also played the solo on Sure Know Something.
Most likely Paul played the solo on this song Because Ace Frehley was absent from recording it most likely and had no time to learn it live
@@markwendt3838 Ace played the solos on his own songs and I Was Made for Loving You. I have zero idea about the rest of the album. Paul definitely played this one and Sure Know Something in the studio.
The Elder is the most underrated and misunderstood album of the Kiss catalog.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's also one of Kiss' greatest songs.
Agree 110%.
If you are a true kiss fan you'll love every song no matter how terrible it is ..to the kiss army the demon and starchild can do no wrong and really they can make gold out of horseshit all there stuff seems to have meaning to me for some reason... music is awesome
That's because it sucks. IMO. Gene and Paul were writing apart. It was a crappy concept album about the "chosen one". That concept was not written about very deeply. The producer never came into the studio to guide and direct or whoever he was due to free basing the hell outta coke. Was a real down time for Kiss but they recovered bigly!
I have to agree
The Elder sucks
Gene's voice sounds amazing here!
Paul killed the solo!!!
Starchild was on point !!!
I love Aces solo on dark light also
Gene is a phenomenal vocalist. Always sending chills down your spine
Yes he has a really awesome voice ❤️❤️
YES!!!!🥰 WOW MR GENE SIMMONS !!!! AND SUPER ROCK GROUP KISS!!!! 🥰
The only way his voice would sound great, if my Catman was singing!!!!!!!!! Lol 😂
Gene always had a good voice, a unique voice at that. You can hear it in the older albums. His background vocals are awesome and very noticeable as well. Wish this song was about one minute longer!
Who knew The Demon was so sentimental?
Hey Brandon, let's start a thing. Lets get this song to become the anthem for our front line heroes. A video montage of the heroes doing their thing, with this song as the backdrop. Stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
Lol that's funny
He writes alot of those Beatle type songs we are one is the best
Watch him sing the chorus to love gun on the animalize vhs 😅
I DID ITS PART OF ROCK!!!!!
I am not even a KISS fan, yet this song I am addicted to.
BRILLIANT, I loved the Elder era!
How good it feels to see all these positive reactions. I absolutely loved this album and thought i was only one. I was already looking forward to a follow up album at the time.
I too love this song and the album. Just think how much this song means in today's world situations, April 4 2020. Where would we be without the front line heroes. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
This is a great song. Gets buried down in the KISS catalogue just from the sheer number of great songs they have. Great lead vocal by Gene. Great solo by Paul. He was always a very soulful lead player as oppose to Aces unique style
Paul doesn't get the respect he deserves. He is no John Lennon, yet, he is a solid and accomplished guitarist. I'd enjoy guitar lessons course working thorough his playing style.
Both Have the same style. Pentatonic , blues based solos. Ace is just faster
Love this song and Gene's voice is perfect for it!
I remember seeing this for the first time on tv . It was a special moment even though it didn’t get the attention it deserved . The song is simply brilliant and very moving . The album is a matter of taste but over time it got better and one can really appreciate it today ! I love Kiss so maybe I’m impartial but I love the album . The oath , Just a boy , only you , under the rose , and this song are as good as any kiss songs they have released .
Miss the 80’s !!
Great song,Kiss should play today in this style,and this song should be played at big concerts
I remember being 16 and seeing this song performed on 'Fridays' and being deeply moved. I thought it was a great step forward for KISS.
Solid solo from Paul Stanley!!!
I love this song it is one of my favorite songs by KISS!💖
When I heard that Stan Lee had passed away yesterday...it was not long afterwards that this song came to mind.
This has got to be one of the greatest live performances for television ever. And the song? Well, it pulls yer heart. Pulls it in a most tragic fashion and doesn’t let go. Just look at Gene’s eyes. He truly believes in the moment, and delivers. These fellas were fantastic.
Not sure if you're serious or sarcastic. Either way I'm laughing my ass off at your comment.
@@twohandsandaradio Poor guy. You’ll be ok though. At least yer laughin
the best ever ?? what??
@@timsears951 Read it again 951
1:44 That moment when you realize Paul played the solo, not only on this, but Sure Know Something, played the melody on Detroit Rock City while Ace played harmony. He could play lead if he wanted to.
Wow. You can tell Paul did the solo on the album. Plays it very accurately here. Reminds me of his solo on the Take Me Away song on his solo album. He indeed has some creativity of his own, but rarely used it on KISS albums.
According to his book, Steve Lukather of Toto performed the guitar solo on the album. And I believe it to be true since he is a very prolific and highly-skilled session guitarist, plus it's never been argued or disputed by anyone from Kiss so there's no reason for me to not believe it.
Either way, Paul nails it live. He’s a very underrated guitarist.
@@crazyjkz Wow! Never heard that. Just found out he did the solo on "Voices", by Cheap Trick.
this was great. I was totally expected this to be the typical lip-synch sort of thing that dominated back then, but this is all live!
This live version sounds even better than the lp version
The Mouse King Thanks for the info on that one
The Internet Killed Music They didnt actually play this live, its playback
Oreo Kombat This is live...
it's not. they're miming a live performance that was pre-recorded. the key is to watch Paul's solo. at 1:56 he does this massive 4 note bend.... except he doesn't when he's miming here. his left hand barely moves. if you re-watch a few times.. you'll notice anomalies... it just doesn't match up.
@@andresassi526 you just typing the word "bullshit" doesn't change anything. they're miming to a pre-recorded track. if you watch Paul's solo and still think that this is 100% live, you're an even bigger idiot than what you appear to be.
Killer tune. It actually got a lot of airplay in the Charlotte area late '81-early '82. Heard it regularly on the ride to high school. LOVE this album. Kiss was the best Kiss when they did the unexpected. Bought it when it dropped so I could check out the new drummer. Heavy!! Wish they'd made the movie. The comic book was stupid. I always assumed it was Medieval times - more of an Excalibur story.
I am blow away over his voice. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you
My new favorite kiss song cant get it out of my head since the first time i heard it
This song always brings me to tears😢 I try not to listen to much 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😢
Same here.
That's common in gays
James Lemmons It brings Paul and Gene to tears too... Thinking how badly it flopped. Seriously though, I like this tune too.
This is an amazing performance!
What a gorgeous song, I love this live version of it
Finally! I've always wanted to see Paul play lead guitar live.
John Drake when I saw KISS for their Animalize tour Paul played the solo because Mark St. John couldn’t. Paul did a great job then.
I'm a Prog rock aficionado, and I think this is one if the greatest songs ever written. It's up there with the Beatles "Let it Be".
prog rock sucks
I disagree, Mr. Kenstar2. Prog Rock Rules!!!
Actually this song "A World Without Heroes" by KISS sounds like Early Moody Blues or Definitively Early Pink Floyd. Thank you.
Wow. As someone that listened to Kiss Symphony before anything else, this is absolutely beautiful.
studio version entered Billboard Dec 12, 1981 ..reached #56
Steffan Pila
Great Live Version of "A World Without The Heroes" by Kiss. It's like Kansas meets Moody Blues. A Very Prog- Rock Upbeat Tempo Song. By far, the best song from the "Music From The Elder" album. Thank you.
A great song from an under appreciated album ... The Elder is worth a listen - especially if you understand the Templar Knights and the Oath ....
God such a misunderstood album... Wish they could have at least played ONE show in support of it... Gene spewing blood them singing Mr. Blackwell would have ruled
Makes absolute no sense at all. But this is what makes a gem album a gem album. Its comes with all the ifs ands butts coulda shoulda 's ....But trust me Im as pissed off as you are.
Two words. Spinal Tap.
my dad says i’m weird for liking The Odyssey.. but it grew on me. the way Paul sang it might be a bit awkward but it’s a great song.
Gene's vocals here are very good, also Paul's guitar solo are beautiful.
Gene’s voice is really nice and smooth when he wants it to be. When he isn’t using his “Demon Voice.”
Never knew Paul played leads like that, badass and super heartfelt man! 💚😎❤
This specific performance made me absolutely fall in love with KISS
A World World without Heroes is a huge song! It was a huge Gene's performance!
Short but sweet. A freaking amazing song. Gene does it justice and Paul's solo isn't half bad!
mi ripeto: music from the elder è un grandissimo album 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The elder was misunderstood and this is my all time favorite song among so many... I discovered kiss with crazy nights (thief was my fav!) at the age of twelve and dove in on my own... the elder blew me away. Lick it up and animalize were the only two albums i never got ahold of in vinyl. My collection was stolen. Anyhow... hi to the brethren🙂
The Gene is so cool that it makes you marvel at him every time! 🤤
Love that guitar solo!!
Starchild was on point !!!
This is why I love gene he has such a range vocally and sounds amazing no matter where he’s at
Lou reed had some in put either to writing or recording this song!This is super duper rare in the annal of Kisstory!
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤
The Elder is one ir the best Kiss albums. So underated... but i love all the tracks and the history inside
This album sucks balls
Kiss are a very talented band and I didn't know they could do songs so beautiful like this until I looked into some of this same era of their music which was brief, but rewarding. I also say Angel are far superior to Kiss, but I think we need both bands and I wish we could have them now. Angel are kings and Kiss are kings I feel like crying when I look at what makes it today and I have cried. There was a time when bands like Kiss and Angel were very successful and I'm damned sad I was really just a young kid then. Memories flood back of the distant past. One of the best for me was when in 1988 I was being abused in school and I was 12 years old I got suspended from the shitty school I was in and came home that day and my dad handed me a copy of ROCK AND ROLL OVER. I laughed and laughed and laughed! I played it and grooved to it. I love flamboyance. Let's hear it for America's two best bands of the mid 70s through to eternity KISS and Angel. And please stop the hatred towards Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons they are the two founders of the band.

👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰viva Paul Gene y Kiss. Los mejores q todavía están vivos para contarlo .y yo los veo hace poco y lo q me perdí antes escuchaba su música y no sabía q eran ellos yo los 80 estuve bastante entretenida con trabajo y familia y sabía q existía Kiss pero q eran satánicos y nazis.🤷😖por dios...
Love this song. Love The Elder, my favourite Kiss album. Adore prog and concept albums so its always been a treasure.
A must for the FINAL Show on the End Of The Road Tour just before Rock n Roll All Night.
this song never gets any credit by KISS FANS or anyone else for that matter HOWEVER i think it's a cool tune , gene sings it very well , MUSIC FROM THE ELDER was actually a good album , it showed KISS'S versatility in writing songs , well done KISS!!!
The “Bob Ezrin produced this right after he did The Wall by Link Floyd” vibe is so strong with this song lol
Pink Floyd.
April 4 2020, how the message of this song means so much in today's world situations. Where would we be without the front line heroes. This live appearance aired in 1981, thank you KISS for a song well ahead of its time. Some one get to the KISS people, do a montage of the front line heroes with this song, and let it be their anthem. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
Everything about this video is amazing. Great underrated song live. Paul playing the solo.
I wish we could see the keyboard player (unless it was a track which seems likely).
Great solo! 🎸👍
Starchild was on point !!!
This song
This video
The sadness in Gene's eyes
Makes me cry
Great ballad, great lyrix, ... love it.
1 of the best guitar solos by a rhythm guitarist ever
WOW 🥰. THE BEST DRUM PLAYER AND THE BEST DRUM KIT KISS EVER HAD!! SINGLE HEAD DEEP LUDWIG CHROME DRUMS WOW!!!! CLASSIC KISS!!
This album was good too. I really liked that it had a story to it too
Say what you want about the album as a whole: this is a good song.
If you ever heard this on the radio or really anywhere for the first time, you would never guess that this was heavy rock band wouldja? Americas shock pop heavy hard rock virtuosos, KISS!
Dude---this song is SO FUCKING GOOD.
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
Awesome! Gene sings very special and good !
Hey buddy, this great song should be the anthem for our front line heroes. A video montage of them doing their thing, with this song in the backdrop. Where would we be without them. Help make it a thing, stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
"A World Without Heroes"
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
The song means more now, April 4 2020, as to what the world is going through now. Where would we be without the front line heroes. Stay safe every one, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
Paul's solo is killer
This sounds pretty darn good live.
as kiss most kiss fans moved on during this time they came back with creatures of the night a short time later and things began too look up i seen them live Jan/83 with make up in Toronto they had a battle tank stage it was so cool
I've liked Kiss most of my life, but I am just now discovering Music From the Elder. Quite a departure for them, but I really really like it. Apparently it was a flop when it came out. In retrospect, it was a brilliant album.
Dave Garry Considering the shit that's passed for music on the radio these days, a flopped album from the 80's would be a brilliant discovery.
I agree, Dave Garry. The "Music From The Elder" album is a brilliant album by Kiss. Thank you!!!
I agree i just listened to it in its entirety after about 30 years..its a solid album
@Dave Garry: This song, and the concept album it was featured on, was an attempt by KISS to show the critics that they were accomplished musicians who could write about something other than tits & ass..... Unfortunately, in the process, they alienated a large portion of their fan base... To make matters worse, it was critically trashed and commercially a flop... As a KISS fan, I appreciate music from ALL incarnations of the band... "A World Without Heroes" is a beautiful song !!! :):):)
It was mainly a flop here in America, which was unfortunate.
*(music from) The Elder* did pretty well in Europe, Japan & Australia!
I love this song
Another Awesome Classic,Dedicated to Lt. General Russell Honore, for his help assisting the people of New Orleans after Katrina, in 2005, A real American Hero!
Probably his best underrated song
as little kids, staying up to watch Fridays was the highlight of our week. seeing/hearing KISS on Fridays was the highlight of our year.
You have got to be out of your mind..!!! Am I in the twilight zone here. This God -Awful piece of dogshit Friday's appearance left me traumatized for months till Creatures dropped. I swear if you would have kicked Paul in the ass hard enough during this show, a truckload of dicks would have covered the stage. That would have been your only highlight left we could send to ya Rich. GEEEESSSHHH......
Crofton Maryland by chance?!
Wonderful song.....and great solo guitar of Stanley.......
Beautiful
This song could be five minutes long (revisited) it's so damn epic. ☕
Hey Chris, I'm NATURE BOY C.J.Johnson, I'm trying to get this great song to become the anthem for our front line heroes. Where would we be without them, world wide. Lets make it a thing. Stay safe my friend, we're in this together. Much love from Jacksonville Fla.
I love this song and performance :)
KISS never got the credit they deserved for this beautiful song :/
Rip. Dad. Forever my hero, forever i’ll miss you.
Of all the comments, this one caught my attention. My dad is my hero, too.
May your father rock in peace ❤
This was a good performance, underated song.
Great Scott, Paul is actually a great solo guitarist.
They'll never die😊
Good song. Very underrated
when you're a 12 yr old KISS fan, spending yer days playing Dungeons & Dragons and THIS album drops, you're in heaven
KISS's the BEST !
The Elder - one of the best kiss albums. Totally underrated.
One the most iconic Kiss Vídeos
Sick solo from Paul
Impecable performance. When guys were focused they were unbeatable.
Increíble rola, viva The Elder, viva Kiss!!
Gene had such a beautifully rich voice. It's really too bad he didn't use more instead of all that growling while playing the part of the God of Thunder!
Simmons y Stanley. Definitivamente.....los jefes!!!!!!
good job by Paul on that solo
Love this album!!! Unfortunately it doesn't get the respect it deserves even from diehard Kiss fans. I definitely wished when I saw them live they would've played some from The Elder!
Paul should play more solos, he may not have a fast and flashy technique but he has lots of feel...
Yes, this is pretty good, although I did hear a bum note or two, but you are right, lots of feel.
@Jerome Wagschal: You may appreciate this ---> czcams.com/video/x901SuxON9w/video.html
Agreed. Mixing it up is good.
Not anymore
This is live kiddos! Something that's been lost in recent years.
Look at GENE! 🤟🏽😈Little behind the beat but still a great performance.
Gene you are my hero.
