Damn that's cool. Probably my favorite Gene bass line - and he's nailing the vocal too.

Great!  I always thought you could hear the Beatles influence on this song.

Nice to see but way too compressed bass sound IMO.

That's a Gibson (Thunderfunk) bass amp too.

One of my favorite Kiss songs of all time. Shows just how good Gene is. While many bands MTV acoustic performances fall short I have always thought the KISS unplugged stuff was great. Thanks for posting this !

LOL!  My band did KISS one Halloween.  I knew how to work the greasepaint, so I did the whole band up.  I even learned to do the fire-spitting trick.  Playing Gene Simmons is kinda fun...just tuck the bass in your crotch, and move them legs about!  I got pretty good at the firespitting - I was working some good 15 ft. flames.

First time hearing this Kiss song - looks like I have another one set for downloading.

Just make sure you don't hire Great White's tour manager.

Stephen Coronel, who co-wrote the song, stated that the rolling chord changes were inspired by "Theme For An Imaginary Western"...
