Dude, it's mine and my best friend's fav Kiss album. It was a weird strange time for the band at a crossroads of many things including their overall sound. I find the songs are the most pop oriented with great hooks. The production is kinda thin unfortunately especially in the guitar department. But also Anton on drums makes all the songs move and groove. I'm more than happy to call it my fav album with this song in the top 3 of it.
@@fundhund62 Unmasked to Asylum. There were 6 albums in that time plus the Killerz EP! Haha, these guys pumped out so much music it was crazy! I love Unmasked, next would be COTN. Then I actually like Asylum as there's 3 great tracks on there. From there is a coin toss between LIU and Animalize. Worst is The Elder even though I and The Oath are serious rockers the rest is terrible.
Bring deep cuts to your concerts not just the kruise . No wonder you had to cancel a Vegas residency due to soft sales ,even the most die hard kool aid fans are complaining it’s been too much of the same setlist for too many years. This right here is amazing!
The issue is the greater audience at a normal show on tour wouldn't know the deeper cuts. I play in a KISS tribute show in Australia and have to be mindful of the setlist for that very reason. Even when we play something like She, Creature or Parasite more than 70% of the audience have no idea what we are playing
@@KISStoryStarchild The Rolling Stones have a bigger catalog and have more pressure and challenge picking a set list and they even manage to throw in a deep cut ,they play for the greater audience as you said but also throw in a surprise lesser known song for their fans that go deeper. One of their most popular albums is Revenge ,why would they play 5 songs off Destroyer when you can probably drop Beth and do you love me and put something off revenge or so many people grew up in the 80s they could do more from there too .
@@KISStoryStarchild that doesn't matter. If kiss actually played those tunes and stuck with them, more ppl would discover their music and actually go purchase it.
@@HanzonMacaque Im seeing that you don't kniw anything about music, Gene was out of rythm un some moments and is understandable because they hadn't play it in decades, that's why Paul laughed with Gene, but in a cool way, and if you don't know what we are talking about,listen the original fron unmasked and after this versión and you'll realizó what are that mistakes, so before to attack, check and shut up!!!
I love how Gene messes this song up, it makes him human to me. So good to see so many positive comments about unmasked. I always get made fun of by my fellow kiss fans because I absolutely love that album. Too polished, maybe but those songs are really great. Especially Ace's tunes.
Nice updated rendition of a classic KISS song. It should be included in the EOTR tour setlist for 'lifer' hardcore fans. This is the stuff we all want to hear and see...and pay big money for.
Underrated song if you ask me. As Paul said in this show, they don’t play it much and it shows. Paul even stayed away from the mic during the final chorus, you could see it in his face. If he’d try singing along at that last part, he wouldn’t keep the laugh under control.
He was doing this in his solo tour. It’s really a great song from a really underrated album. It’s just good pop music. “Tomorrow” is still a fantastic tune.
I lot of posts here say Kiss should play more stuff like this on tour. I can't agree more. I saw them last month in Lafayette LA, front row (16tth time to see them) and while it is always fun to see and hear Kiss in concert, I too wish they would play some of the older, less-known gems like this one.
Surprised they've never played this live before, I've always thought this was one of the better tracks off the album (was it Unmasked?) EDIT: It looks like Gene kept coming in a bit early on each verse which is probably why Paul was laughing at him around the 3 minute mark.
That's why they do these very deep, and incredible cuts in this setting. Every single person there is a KISS nut and knows them by heart. Playing them on tour, esp this song, can kill the pace. I've seen them 21 times, no Kruises, and even a deep cut like All the Way in Rock the Nation tour sent scores to restrooms or beer. And they did good bit of deep cuts on that tour. Of course I loved them. Mick said also said when the Stones tried some, he was shocked at how the stadium seemed to empty at those songs. KISS knows the fans want to hear Mr Speed or Got Love for Sale etc, and I think it's great they do those on these special Kruises, when they know it will go over good with hard core fans. Otherwise they'd never do them. I dont believe The Stones would ever play such cuts if they were to do a similar cruise. This shows how KISS knows their fans. I mean, who ever thought we'd hear this song live! After 40 years!
Ya I’ve seen Kiss 17 times in my life. But even I skipped the last and 3rd farewell tour. They basically played Phoenix twice this last tour. The show was getting stale with same exact set list and show. I had enough. And that’s saying something. If they played just a few of these type songs I would have gone. But it’s like going to the same movie twice
Where's Syncing Stanley, This isn't 100% live. Gene's head phone monitor is out of Sync and the vocal backing track is coming through a few bars later how the rest of the band hears it.
Absolutely love this song since I first got it on the B side of Talk To Me in 1980. Sorry Gene.....but this in 2021 is fxxxxxg crap!!! Why not just learn it properly for the performance? You wrote it.
It would be great if the play all the hits in one night (love gun, detroit, lick, all nite...) And the other night just dark and never played before songs. Also, I dont understand why they left the opportunity to get millions in a just elder tour. They know and we know, we would go
Sure I'd definitely go. But you think it would sell? The album only sold, I believe 4 and a half records. Of course I'm kidding it actually sold two. But seriously I think not doing a proper Elder tour was a wise move. May be cool on a Kruise show.
@@wawijr of course I think it would sell. The fans have beeen asking for it. Back in the day, it was a failure but not anymore. And you can tell by their reaction
I really wish Kiss would just comepletey re-do that entire album. Just take the disco element out from it and make it have more a metal sound such as this. So many good songs that record that just never got the light of day.
Good to hear it live.. . What a series of fuck ups from Gene though. For the cost of the Kruise... a bit more rehearsal to get it right would have been respectful to the fans
For KISS fans this isn't a deep cut. I've had this in heavy rotation since it came out. I think the Vegas residency would have went forward if they advertised a Revamped set list. Two reasons; If you've ever been to Vegas, it's mostly 45 year olds and up. The average KISS fan is male and 54 I believe. (and "I" would be a great addition to the set). Residencies attract fans of that artist to Vegas. An entirely new set would certainly attract the most avid of KISS fans. And we wouldn't mind the pyrotechnics not matching up to the songs like they do now. We just wanna rock!
Its songs like this why i cant buy a ticket to see them anymore. For DECADES its always the same basic usual songs. Paul says the audience expects them. No they dont. Any real fan thats still around is tired of the typical set. Any real fan wants the DEEP CUTS you never hear live. No wonder i stopped seeing them over a decade ago.
LOL....looks like gene F'd up...paul just smiles at him after the solo like.."what the F?" he started singing the pre chorus too early, during the solo. and paul may be smiling here, but backstage.....
@@linusfotograf I wouldn't doubt it. They only had 2 weeks to practice all these songs since the tour ended for the time being. With all the albums they have out I would have a hard time remembering how to play to be honest.
Have always loved this song... the whole album really.

Unmasked is pop perfection
I always referred to Unmasked as their Rolling Stones album.
To my mind, the early to mid 80s were their peak years.

Same!!!

Covid is destroying the United States. That's why they rescheduled
So cool. Would love to see KISS play Unmasked in its entirety.
Paul laughin at Gene is the best part. Kiss Kruise is great because of these moments that wouldnt happen at any other show of the tour.
What, mistakes?
@@thefonzkiss spontaneity. I prefer real mistakes than fake perfection.

Imagine if Eddie Kramer produced Unmasked.
Jagger infamous for that too. He'll sing verses out of order, esp Satisfaction!
Agreed
Love Paul's reaction at that point... "Really, Gene?" was all over his face.
@@surfsup5757 Imagine if Eddie Kramer had produced the entire 70's KISS discography.
Love how Paul is just laughing everytime they mess up! 🤣🤣
They can’t mess up when they are “faking it” to a backing track. Right Eddie Trunk?
So great to hear them bring some deep cuts to the kruise thanks for recording this
Nice updated rendition of a classic KISS song. It should be included in the EOTR tour setlist for 'lifer' hardcore fans. This is the stuff we all want to hear and see...and pay big money for.
The song is horrible on the album. The album's mostly horrible
I like how it all fell apart in the bridge. I think Tommy was the one responsible for bringing it back together.
@@KISSHOOTERS6969 Different guy
This is awesome!!!! It's so good to hear these songs live.
Love this song hopefully they will do Naked City
Yep Naked City is another good tune I've never seen live.
Best song on the album!
Love this song! Unmasked is such a great album!
One of their forgotten “Klassics,” definitely a favorite song of my mine! Love the whole Unmasked album!
Underrated song if you ask me. As Paul said in this show, they don’t play it much and it shows. Paul even stayed away from the mic during the final chorus, you could see it in his face. If he’d try singing along at that last part, he wouldn’t keep the laugh under control.
I love the mistakes bands make, it shows it being played live and raw.
Oh yes, it's a bloody mess in the middle and towards the end, but lovable all the same!
Excellent choice of a very melodic KISS song. Very Pop. Very good guitar driven Pop song. 🤘🤘
One of my fav KISS songs!
Hi Mike!! Thanks for sharing w us, this is so especial for fans. Hugs from Brazillll Sao Paulo!!!!
Pauls laughing at Gene like hes a God, please! Great tune and performance!
The irony of Gene messing up is that I think He's the only one who has played this live before (on his solo Australian tour)
This sounds good toughened up. Thanks for sharing Mike!
Great job!!!!😀😛😃Kiss unmasked had some great songs!!!!
Gene got a little ahead of himself there. 🤣 Even Paul laughed it off.
They still recovered.
Awesome to hear this live though.
Jep he's out of it, but i love this song....even its not even close to the best songs of Unmasked :).
Paul said "First time we forgot something" at the end?.
@@kainurkkala8414 I love it! One of my favorites from that album.
haha - Paul's laughin' like Dude you butchered that in like 5 different places! lol
@@WestalSage He’s probably thinking, “And this is why we don’t play this live….ever!” Lol
Love hearing that song live even with Gene screwing it up. Bravo!!!
Gene's voice is still great.
He was doing this in his solo tour. It’s really a great song from a really underrated album. It’s just good pop music. “Tomorrow” is still a fantastic tune.
Brilliant that was cool Gene sounded fantastic
Great song for them to do....! VERY AWESOME!
Amazing, great to hear this song live finally... even messed uo
Nice obscure song, Gene could've rehearsed a little more though :p

I am glad they are doing these tunes... Too bad it wasn't with Ace, say about 20 years ago or so.
Looks like Paul is enjoying watching Gene struggle with the lyrics lol

They were!!

Unmasked is my second favorite KISS album (dynasty is #1).
Con algunas fallas, pero que importa. Es Unmasked!!!! Grande KISS
Si con tal de escuchar un tema del Unmasked jaa
I'm 22 and I requested that I be buried with Unmasked, that album means everything to me
Special needs
Tuned down to drop J.
WOW 🥰 ITS KISS THE BEST BAND EVER!!BIG HIT IN AUSTRALIA !!!!! CANT WAIT FOR DA KISS CONCERTS IN MELBOURNE N PERTH 🥰
Hope you enjoy the lip synching!
I’ve always loved this song. I consider it one of Gene’s best.
I would love to do a Kiss Kruise. They are my Beatles
at least Paul's wig did not fall off on stage in this video. 😃😃
Has it before?
FANTASTIC
Love this song
Grandioso, e increíble q mucha gente solo quiera escuchar los hits de siempre..si fueran más abiertos Kiss lo haría en una gira normal..
lol, Gene doesn't remember all the words. Still, love hearing this song live!
I see Gene didn't try to hit that high note at the end. Lol. Awesome
Gene: you ought to see her, wearing her socks on her eyes 😁
This is so cool!
Once again Mike, thank you for your videos.

Keep practising, Gene, you'll get there :-)
This one they shoud play in the end of the road tour...songs from unmasked and dynasty
No reason they can't play these songs during the last tour once in awhile
😂se adelantó en la métrica Gene ,,la cago😅😂
hey nice to see ps relax and smile at a f' up and who hasnt
Why wasn't Paul singing the chorus with Eric and Tommy?
Después de tantos tantos años no deja de emocionarme!
Gene can't count. but Paul laughing at him the whole time is awesome
Gene had about 10 "senior moments" during this performance. That said, it was still great to see this song performed live.
He’s been having senior moments since he was in his 20s
Lol. Sloppy as... Best part is Paul laughing at all of Gene's mistakes.
You could clearly see Paul mouth "Wow..."
Cool. Naked City would be cool.

Lucky ducks...does sound like the song could have used one more rehearsal ...thanks for sharing!
hahah, Gene didn`t study the lesson for that night.

Rehearse this stuff a bit more if you're gonna play it...jeeez
instead of remixing Destroyer they should remix Unmasked ... lift the bass & kill the keys ... great songs treated unfairly.
🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️💃
Brilliant performance! Thanks Mike!
