  • Although I’m a huge KISS fan, I can also say that not every song from them is a priceless gem. In fact, some tracks are just plain filler, if not worse. So, in this video, I’ll go through one track from each of their 20 studio albums, give out a little background info on the songs, and tell you why they’re the runts of the litter. You wanted the worst, you got the worst!

      Facts. He legit ranks it as the worst cuz of one ”bad lyric” like bruh? How tf is Flaming Youth worse than Great Expectations? Also maybe Paul meant that young people was fired up and about young people and teens who are kiss fans setting the world on fire with their energy. Even if it didn’t so fucking what if it’s about gay people? A band can sing about whatever they want?
      Let Me Go Rock N’ Roll is an absolute banger? So what if it had that old timey sound a band isn’t necesarily suppoused to follow the current format. Hell, thereare bands today who still make glam metal type music even if it’s not popural.
      And saying that Ace is a better bass player than Gene. Just cuz it’s complicated dosen’t mean it’s good. And just cuz it’s simple dosen’t mean it’s bad.

    KISS reluctantly agreed to record the lyrically updated version of Bobby Rydell's 1959 hit (for Bobby Rydell) Kissin' Time using it in a series of local radio kissing contests designed to boost sales of the album. Apparently they recorded it within 30 minutes… not a bad cover, I personally kinda like it.

    I cannot pick a song from Unmasked as my least favorite. I don’t know why but I absolutely love this album and every song on it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I can’t say anything good about anything on both Sonic Boom and Monster. I first saw KISS on the Crazy Nights tour and that album, to me, is like Unmasked. I absolutely love it and I can’t pick a least favorite song on it. The rest of your picks I agree with.

    • @Redhotlugnut
      @Redhotlugnut Před rokem +3

      For me Unmasked is my favorite Kiss album too! I love how much Ace contributed along with Anton Fig playing drums. The production is kinda thin unfortunately with the guitars sounding like they're playing through a 5 watt Fender Champ.
      I'm from Vancouver Island Canada and my Grandparents used to winter in Palm Springs and before they came back they would ask if I wanted anything. I asked for this album on cassette. I remember it had a beige case which was odd, the cassette itself was white and the clear plastic screen on one side was missing. But in 1987 for me this album was almost perfect.
      As a drummer and bass player, Torpedo Girl was the holy grail to be able to play for me and my friends in our early teens. But as this guy mentions, the lyrics are beyond cheezy but I was too busy trying to learn how to play the hi-hat with my left foot on the up beat while playing a kind of syncopated thing with the snare and toms.
      Shandi is a very good song that in my eyes gets glazed over by many critics for whatever reason. Talk to Me and She's So European were great too. Is that you is even a song I crave to hear every now and again.

On "Animalize" it is definitely "Burn, Bitch, Burn" ("Oh babe, I wanna put my log in your fireplace"). "Burn, Bitch, Burn" isn't just the worst KISS song on that album, it is their worst, period.

I go for song catchiness rather than heaviness and don't really mind lyrics that much when it comes to KISS, so that's why.

    Haven't started watching the video yet but I love that this exists. Once I became a teenager back in 05-07 and started getting into music for the first time, I fell down the KISS rabbithole since they were my Dad's favourite band. I ripped a lot of the Kissology audio and uploaded it as bootlegs on Guitars 101. Fun times.
    The back catalog of KISS is a sort of boomer rock purgatory; what happens when very wealthy people have very bad song ideas yet can afford infinite studio time to ensure that these are packaged and sold as commercial products on a yearly basis.
    There is no set pattern to this chaos but it generally alternates between Gene the narcissistic sex pest, and Stanley Eisen being a more articulate and nuanced sex pest. There is a difference I promise and KISS fans will know what I'm talking about.
    The result is KISS' library being split effectively in two; there are songs the band was proud to play live (even if for a single tour, common with them) and are worth listening to over and over again, and the other half - close to ten whole album's worth - of the worst, most soulless and contrived boomer rock imaginable. Their work ethic is admirable for the sole reason that they wrote and sold as many brutal, soul-crushingly bad songs shoehorned onto good or otherwise great albums, as other bands have written total in their entire discography. This is probably why I love them so much. Their good songs are great, but their bad songs are completely unhinged and insane, and there are so goddamn many of them covering all possible rock subgenres.
    And KISS kept doing it, consistently until 2012, culminating in an entire album worth of forgettable music - their magnum opus. Monster is quintessential KISS. It's so bad I won't listen to it or pretend it exists, just as the band, in live shows, pretends half their discography doesn't exist either. Very meta!
    There are three songs that highlight this: Rockin' in the USA (Alive II), Fits Like a Glove, and Bang Bang You. Even on their most commercially successful albums, the band is creatively bankrupt and borderline retarded. Gene's penis is a snake. Paul's penis, however, is a cannonball! This is the nuance I was talking about. Germany was really neat. Truly we are in the presence of legends.
    Anyways the worst song off HITS is Read My Body.

    This was a well done video, and even though I love most songs you’ve picked, I agree.
    Let me go rock and roll is one of my all time favorite songs because I appreciate it for what it is. A pure rock and roll song to jam and solo on. I just love that.
    I’m not a fan of flaming youth, but I would say great expectations is one of the few kiss songs I just can’t get behind.
    Dirty livin is another one of my favorites. The bassline is one of my favorites, but I was a fan of the disco era stuff.
    ~Torpedo girl has a fantastic bassline, I agree.
    Spit is just a crazy song. The musicality of it is really really cool and rocky to me.
    I would like to point out that carnival has some heartfelt stuff on it like you said, including childhoods end and I will be there.
    I would personally take raise your glasses or I’ve finally found my way to be worse. We are one is corny but I do love it.
    Monster and sonic boom suffer a lot because of gene in my opinion. I understand that’s his character but could there not be 100 sexual innuendoes per song?
    -I am a huge fan of Tommy, despite his tracks being subpar, he’s technical and by the books. I like that.

    Ace’s solo on ‘Kissin Time’ is superb. ‘Ladies in Waitin’ is the blandest 70s KISS imo. My favourite tracks on Dynasty and Unmasked are your least favourite. 😂 Each to their own. Thanks anyway.

  • @kingfisher-theemptinessout3582

    Really interesting and original video. It is funny how we (Kiss fans) are on the same team, but get along with different characters. (Songs) I disagree with almost every choise you made, but found it interesting to hear your motivation. I only can not speak for Sonic Boom and Monster, because I have heard both albums once and every single song sucks big time to me. The only two Kiss albums I never bought. But that could also be because I feel like the energy plug was pulled out of the band a few years after the reunion. It is all auto-pilot ever since, live and on those two albums. Anyway…interesting video.

    Matt, I've been a Kiss fan since '76. I think you're spot on across the board. That said, while there are some good songs on Dynasty.. Dirty Livin' grew on me over the years. The demo was tougher, rougher, grittier (not just lyrically). And to be honest, the fact that it stands so far out from the rest of the tracks, well isn't that the point? Dynasty ultimately failed (from a perspective point of view) simply because Paul wanted to dive into disco and capitalize off that trend.. albeit his timing was horrible bc disco soared years earlier and died out by 1979 year end. For better or worse, I feel Dirty Livin' as a demo was more rock, less disco. Just didn't cut it on a disco album so they altered the time signature to create a disco track. Again, I see your POV. Definitely agree with you on the end result.

    I agree almost in every case, tho many albums have more than two really bad tunes, but... "MY WAY" is far from being the worst tune on Crazy Nights.
    It is actually one of the best four tunes and shows a fantastic vocal performance by Paul.
    "No, no, no" and "Bang, bang you" are really horrendous.
