Gene Simmons of Kiss almost falls off the stage

- At a concert in Tampa, Florida Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have to grab the rope so the down fall off the moving platform as they are lowered onto the stage.
My very first concert was this, but 1977. Same song, coming down on lift platforms, but of course with Ace and Peter. Quite a spectacle for an 11 year old kid at his first concert.
Well unfortunately Ace and Peter did not protect themselves legally regarding the bands decision making capabilities and come up on the short end basically got repetitively screwed by the other two business sharks.
My first concert too -kiss 1977
Cleveland.
Me too! The Forum Los Angeles CA. On the Dynasty tour.
"Twas the Rock n Roll Creation...!" At least Gene wasn't stuck inside a big, veiny plastic shell.
I wasn't the only one who thought of Spinal Tap.
Nice nod to Spinal Tap. Yet, the band kept playing.
"Twas a terrible big bang
Twas the ultimate mutation
Ying was searching for his yang
And he looked and he saw that it was good"
Those pyrotechnics going off around that leaning platform😂
goes to show how cheesy they really are
No matter who you are the last thing you want to do is get hurt or embarrassed. Things happen and we can't control everything that happens in life. I think he handled it well in heels.
6 inch platform heels I think the man did very well myself.lol. That old man's a beast he's a millionaire he's been doing something right huh? God of Thunder
"I think he handled it well in heels"
Think about what a moronic statement that is.
@@walterbisonhe’s in heels
Gene is so good he can still play bass while holding onto the cable.
I wondered how that worked as well...
I didn't hear any bass
@@RandomKissFan0815cuz his bass is live
@@bobbymartin7455 thats exactly what I wanted to say🤣
Fretting with your left hand and not playing with your right hand is a thing, people play that way all the time.
I saw that. I wasn't recording, but was worried for a sec. It would have been a short show if he'd fallen. People in comments are giving him a hard time, but I'd say he did really well for a 72-year-old.
You also cut off a bit early. When he finally did get off, it never reached the ground. So he was grabbing the wire because it was starting to tilt again (and did tilt). A stage hand jumped in the other side to balance it so he could step off without it flipping back up.
That's some Spinal Tap sht right there..:-)
I was thinking the same thing !!
You beat me to it!
Gear issues. Even if you done it 500 times - you never know ! The band recovered it very well !
Watching this, I flashed onto my memory of watching Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap getting stuck in a cocoon while performing 'Rock-n-Roll Creation'.
Obviously not Genes first rodeo, he’s just hanging on, don’t die
" oh my god no time to turn " " I have to laugh ... Cause I know I'm gonna die"
Get up! No, get me down! 🤣
Why!
At the Senior Center!
I imagine the stage tech that does the system has been with them a long time and he’s trusted immensely.
Was...as in he was with them for a long time but is now looking for a new job.
Can u imagine if the Vocals started without Paul!
Jajajajaja It would be ugly
You can hear the backing track
There is bass playing in the audio when gene isn’t playing
The backing tracks hurt me worse than watching Gene’s near miss 😂
@@rickwhitescarver8526 I can imagine the live sound must be huge now.
Straight after, he rang up Derek Smalls, "Guess what happened"?!
Dude is 72. I’d say he handled it very well.
not the first time he has problems with hanging gear but the man keeps going, respect
I watch this video 10 times, and I don't see him fumbling stumbling or almost falling at all....?
Came here to say the exact same thing!
Yeah, he's not Joe Biden falling up a set of fuckin stairs. 😂
@@davidtheriot7404 😭😭😂stop! LOL
@@davidtheriot7404 I laughed.
Yeeaah ....Spinal Tap is back!
you can still hear the bass playing when he's not even touching it..
He's still fretting it with his left hand. No faking or bass tracks for Gene.
First record I ever bought was KISS “Rock And Roll Over”, and loved it so much I took money from my savings to go get “The Originals” a week later!
Glad Gene is ok, and had the sense to handle it well. I’d be interested to see what the mechanical malfunction had been as it appeared to have slipped the locking function of a spooling mechanism dropping out the extra slack in the cable .
whoever you are sir you kick ass,your a true member of the kiss army
@@jamieoiler5690 Wow! Well thank you!
I did join Kiss Army back in the late 70’s, and have loved em through all these years.. KISS ROCKS!!
They really need to just stop. I am a Kiss fan, the first album I ever bought was "Hotter Than Hell", my first concert was the Dynasty tour, I wore out a few stereo needles on the Alive album but this is getting sad. Paul has lost his voice, I don't think its possible to tune down any lower, they're using backing tracks and the last decent album (imo) was Creatures of the Night (as indicated by the most recent set lists). Time to retire.
Holy crap, watch all their hands, at one point, no one is strumming a guitar!
They are that good, no one ever saw Hendrix do that trick, maybe Milli Vanilli, but not Jimi
Gene would say it's a part of the act!
That would be scary for anyone! Those shoes alone hehe
And he is 72...
And the bass track didn't miss a beat
The pods took far too long to lower to the stage. I saw the same thing happen with the spider rig on the Monster Tour in Sweden 2013. Also on CZcams.
It wasn’t his fault. It was a mechanical problem where his platform cables didn’t lower equally. I saw this same show in Fort Worth the week before and all 3 platforms came down simultaneously…they stepped off and almost immediately they were raised quickly back to the ceiling. There was an obvious mechanical failure at the beginning and Gene was just being extra cautious because he knew if he fell or even tripped that the show might’ve been stopped.
Possible chain motor malfunctions on all three of their platforms, would like to know what happened next .
"You're fired, now get out" Gene to whoever screwed up
Chains need greasing.
@@nickstrapko7549 *you're would be my response. Lol
@@Gauge213666, You're Correct
He almost rock'd an rolled that night
I was there, thought the other 3 did a good job of not stopping the music and not looking shocked or causing panic.
@GodsTop10 are you joking? ...live
Goood lord. Look at those shoes. Extremely well done tho. Handled like the pros, you guys are.
looked like a scene from Spinal Tap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The consummate professional. He didn't even flinch.
A little tilt. I imagine that those stages are real tippy if you get out to the edge probably dump you right off. Those big honking hi heels have to be a disaster just waiting to happen
Somebody’s getting sued....Gene’s already talked to his lawyers!
No... someone’s definitely getting fired...
Definitely getting fired,their shows have to be perfect
Lmfao that money grabbing Bastard. Hey, if he can pull it off then he will. It’s in his genes 🧬 lmfao.
Lol
Yes, would deffo not want to be in that stagehand riggers shoes after the show!
LOL, fricken SPINAL TAP!
That's really the stage problem and fortunately not performance yet...!!!!
Well, that's confirmation that Gene's bass part is recorded.
No.... he can still play the basics with one hand on the fret board which is what he was doing. And while Paul did stop playing, Tommy and Eric continued on playing/ doing some fill until they got back down to the stage.
I shall...debunk... your statement. First, you can hear the bass go out after Gene turns around. Second, I looked at another video from Tampa (this show) and one from Atlanta, the show the next night. In the Tampa show, you can see and hear when Gene starts playing again after he gets to the mic. But here's the real reason Gene's bass isn't a prerecord... If it were coming off the computer, it would be locked into a set time. In the Tampa show the band vamps while Gene gets down, this is when Gene's bass stops. That vamp means that Paul starts singing the first verse approximately 1 minute after the song starts. In the Atlanta show, where things went smoothly, Paul starts singing approximately 34 seconds after the song starts. So tell me, if Gene's bass is a prerecord, how would it not be 26 seconds ahead of the rest of the band at the Tampa show? Why does it fall back into place when Gene starts playing again with no sync issues for the rest of the song?
@@composerdave68 gene n Paul are mimes acting their parts it's pre recorded they not in their prime anymore
@@dogmangrasshopperman5592 I see you do not follow. If they are miming their parts, then someone is playing them offstage. If it was a prerecorded part, things like this would make things go out of sync quickly. But the fact in another, longer version of this song from Tampa, you can see AND hear the bass come back in once Gene gets to the mic shows it is not likely to be an off stage player either. So.... no, the evidence does not support Gene miming this song.
Almost kissed the floor
Lmao!
Got ‘em 🤣😂
That same pod or platform did the same thing while it was up on the air hanging during Tommy's solo in Hidalgo TX...good thing no one was up there
lucky they turned off the lipsync vocals fairly fast or they would of been caught
Can you not comprehend the state of modern arena Rock shows? It is common to have backing vocals and tracks for live performance. How old are you? Can you hit the high notes in your 70's? I doubt it. However, the crowd and fans realize there are backing vocals and tracks, but guess what? We don't care. We have the albums, it is not the 70's, and we are happy to see KISS live. It is the event and the atmosphere and the energy. The band still gives it thier all..they put on a great show. Did you know circus tigers have thier claws removed and fangs filed down? Many do..but do you care? No..you enjoy the SHOW. 50 million ELVIS fans can't be wrong, and 100 million KISS fans can't either. I suggest your opinion is KINDA like an asshole, everybody has one, yours just stinks a little more. Ps. Next time you are a millionare Rock star, I would gladly listen to your tune. Basically your criticism is old hat and un-interesting. Could you try a bit harder and come up with something you did not merely regurgitate? Go back under your bridge...troll.
@@sirscottwilliamwalmer7639 i saw this tour night one in vancouver i got in for 40 bucks sure it was a great spectical but fake frehley and cat man doo ARE NOT ace and peter ( sorry to say ) and backing vocals lol uhm more like lead vocals the gene songs not so much but paul lol uhm tha whole show i think he may not be doing it as much now cause he sounds shitty again lol
@@sirscottwilliamwalmer7639 I'm impressed. How do you type while so fervently stroke Paul's shaft with both hands? Voice to text?
Hold on gramps!
The Bass kept playing even after Gene Stopped Playing. Hmmm
You can play it using only one hand.
He didn’t almost fall at all. But Vince Neil really did fall off stage and got fucked up.
The title should be “ Gene almost kiss the floor”
Another Spinal Tap moment!!!
You're FIRED!
A true Spinal Tap-esque moment
At least he didn’t get stuck upside down on a 360 degree looping drum kit.
Someone gonna be walking home!
Badass grandpa there!
Una prueba que cantan en vivo 😊😊
This looks like TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER! Hey Boss, I'm glad you're O.K.👍, but next time leave the stage surfin' to the BEACH BOYS🏄. Break a leg?ALMOST! Man..don't scare me like that, I gotta see you ONE MORE TIME! God bless. Scotty. (Your faithfull knight)🗡🛡👹💜😸⚡🤘
Since the resumption of the "End of the Road" tour in 2021, the staging looks reconfigured and somewhat reduced. Perhaps it is new or recycled, and perhaps the lifts/screens are also rearranged. I agree, this could have been a disaster 'in the making', yet the hardcore pro's which KISS have always been played-on. No doubt 'heads rolled' once this show was over. Shit happens.
Down sized for smaller markets.
@@j.reveille6815 I just think that their appeal is becoming more selective.
Yes for sure.. but they have 2 stages. One for larger markets and arenas and one for smaller. First leg hit larger, second smaller then they finish back in larger. When they do. Stage set up will be bigger again.
It’s amazing the bass is still playing without his hands off the instrument 😂
On
Yup, this song has some hard bass lines that you can hear but wont see him play.
@@le-blat He can just use his left hand, same as when people act like they play with their teeth. if their amps are turned up enough, and in the correct relationship between the amp and pick-ups on the guitar, no problem.
Lol what imaginary bass are you hearing. Get yourself some better headphones
Did I spurn your favorite imaginary musician? 😂
They should have *"Rick Rolled"* everyone!!
...."Technology for a better tomorrow"~!.....sometimes.....it is tomorrow~!
Magic bass. Plays by itself.🤫🤔🙄😬
It's like watching grandma getting out of the car.
A Spinal Tap moment😅🤪😅
was I still hearing bass while gene wasn't playing?
Yes.... pre- taped ?
He keeps playing some notes after he turns around but he is not playing the part that you would usually hear in the song at that part. In addition, there is a longer video where he does stop for a few seconds and you can hear when he comes back in. If it were prerecorded, the longer vamp that the band plays while he is getting down would have thrown a prerecorded bass part out of sync. It took them 26 seconds longer for Paul to get to the first verse at this show than the next night in Atlanta. If the bass part were prerecorded, it would have gone into the verse approx 26 seconds before Paul started singing here.
I think he was doing hammer-ons with his left hand.
DEPENDS HOW CLOSE YOU WERE !!!!
Paul’s wearing a mask while singing? Are performers doing that? I haven’t been to any shows lately.
The whole band are wearing masks. it's KISS.
@@rbennettmusictube 🤣🤣🤣
@@MollyDF I had to! something said "c'mon, noooo " so I did! Btw if Paul is wearing a mask (maybe, I can't tell) it gives more legitimacy to the lipsyncing rumor. But I'm guessing that like Motley-, everything is on tape but the vocals and Tommy's leads.
They’ve been wearing a mask for 45 years!
@@djh2633 yeah they're trying to hide the ugly evil Zionist behind the mask
Everyone stopped playin,,,, but the Music didnt.
Definitely a Spinal Tap moment , nice recovery Gene 🤘
Someone is fired .
YES!! KISS CAN ROCK!!!
That tilt happy bastard control operator should be FIRED! 👍🏻😉🔥
I was a kiss fan when I was 13 years old and I'm 59 years old now.
Detroit Rock City is my favorite kiss song.
The next is Beth.
rock n roll over eugene
Most women do much better in platform shoes. I guess she's getting older and her balance is affected. She has pulled off the FTM thing brilliantly though...
Someone got fired
Hey, shit happens! Glad nobody was hurt.
Nice watching Paul CROAK it out to pre-recorded vocals with Eric covering him in the background 😂 and you get to see Tommy singing Shock me impersonating Ace Frehley plus you get to see Eric impersonating the one, and only 🐱 man Peter Criss singing Beth Chewing Gum playing in a Jazz Style 😂 on there 10th farewell tour 😂 Atleast Paul gave Eric Carr who I loved, and Vinnie there own Identitys! You know Dimebag Darryl died with a tattoo of Ace on his arm, Dime didnt say that's the Space man from Kiss, Dime said thats Ace Frehley man end of story if you think anybody can just put on that make up! I had Kiss Army on my Jr High notebook in 1976 I was in the 3rd row at the LA Forum in 1977 when nobody knew what they looked like out of make up! The REAL Kiss!! Paul, and Gene will replace themselves in acouple years, and Tommy,and Eric will come back for the legal tender, It's coming 😂 I had know problem with the other line ups even though I bailed after Ace left but trying to pass off Tommy,and Eric as Ace,and Peter I cant look at it man thats not the Kiss I grew up with when I was 12 years old! They should have went out on top in 1996 when they sold out Tigers Stadium in 15 minutes instead of playing where they taper off the Arena to make it look full and making a mockery of the Legacy! Slice,and Dice it anyway you want thats the truth unless your just a blind follower at what ever they do! Yeah Ace, and Peter sold there rights to the make up, and they can Bad mouth Ace who has been sober for many years, and bad mouth Peter also but bottom line Kiss is Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter! The way to end a career with class is to go out like RUSH did not like this!you know Eddie Trunk makes a great analogy of if AC/DC announced that Angus Young left the band, and the replacement 🎸 dressed up as a School boy, and moved around like Angus,are you OK with that? Spot on Eddie!
Many good points. When I discovered The Who with the airing of the Kids are alright in my room covered with Kiss posters Kiss got bumped down from #1 . Today with me The Who are still #1. Alive is the introduction I had to Kiss. Bought all the albums up til Crazy Nights. The Drama and promised return. devotion to the hard rock roots that they only flirted with washed Kiss out with me
Still, don't forget AC/DC's Axl shows.
It's their second tour insinuating end of an active Kiss. Don't get why people always exaggerate this fact.
@@jimegan6848 But they didn't have Axl wear a Brian Johnson or Bon Scott mask
It's funny you've got enough time to watch something about a band you don't like and write an essay then. 😆
I thought people your age are more mature.
I put a dollar on a fishing hook. I caught Gene Simmons..
The technican was fired After the Show!
Clickbait!!! Almost falls off the stage and the riser tilts are two entirely different thing ooooh!!! looked so scary!!
When grandpas stair lift malfunctions.
When 😂 your is LOL WHEN
That was close.... looks like they had a good safety procedure in place.... well done
And the soundtrack continued to play bass for him!!!
God of thunder and rock and roll!!
“OH, YE…. OH, NO!!!”
At least Spinal Tap played their own instruments without prerecorded assistance when things went haywire.
Ace infiltrated the backstage and fiddled with the controls .
I smell *Money* Is what Gene is saying. Cannot blame him either. Major damage could've happened to him. He did the right thing too. Move to the other side and don't move....
You think in this day and age that if anyone beside KISS and company themselves aren't to blame that whoever they are arent protected against such mishaps and lawsuits? Especially when Gene Simmons is involved?
Did they ever think that maybe they should stop the crazy intros and just walk onstage!
Singer looks like he's going through the motions
I just saw them in Tampa
These are crazy crazy sights 😎
He holds on but the bass guitar keeps playing by itself....they paid how much for a live performance 😂
Too much.
Pald Thanley : king of the lip sync world
Didn't a similar thing happened to the bass player in Spinal Tap.
He didn't look like he was hurt, though.
When you order your platform cranes from 'Wish'.
poeple in the front were complaining about shit odor coming from the stage ( I guess Gene pooped his pants)
Pure Spinal tap
He just held on
He's just going through a stage
HOLY SPINAL TAP!
Nah, Gene was feeling uptight, Paul
Just curious...how did he almost fall off of the stage?
Fall onto the stage would seem more appropriate.
