Rating: Summary: Tells you everything you would ever want to know Review: This video is a fascinating look into the KISS image as projected by Paul Stanley. I am not so much a fan of the band as I am an enthusiatic observer. What emerges in this video is a a look into the monumental egos of band founders Paul and Gene. But a surprise bonus arrives in the glimpse the viewer gets of Paul and Gene's relationship. It plays out from the first to the last as a jovial marriage. Gene, comes off as a charming but inattentive husband --Paul as the outgoing excitable wife. Examine this video from this perspective and you will be mesmerized. If you have ever laughed at a pontificating Gene, or sniggered at a prancing, preening Paul, then you simply have to buy this videa and drink it in frame by frame. It is extraordinary! And if you are a KISS fan, you might like it as well.
Rating: Summary: KI$$ makes a video Review: This video was shot during KISS's 'Hey what the hell's up with us?' years. THE ONLY reason to buy this video is for the old concert footage with all four original members. The rest of the tape leaves more questions than answers. Gene and Paul hog the camera for the entire shooting while Bruce and Eric are shown three seconds apiece. Bruce is chasing a girl, and Eric is being chased by a girl. This is the most they have to contribute. I would have been interested in hearing what Eric first thought when he joined the group (as you all know his first effort with KISS was the Elder). Also I didn't appreciate the cheap shots Paul and Gene gave Ace and Peter. Vinnie Vincient who basically wrote the album 'Lick it Up' and saved KISS gets no credit for anything. (Although you see a glimpse of him in the Brazil Love it Loud Video.) This video mainly portrays what Gene and Paul realy are, egomaniacs whose heads can barely fit in that mansion. But if you can get past their B.S. and enjoy the music, I'd recommend it. That's why we have the little FF button on the remote. And the questions that are left unanswered? Here they are..... 1. Even though he's surrounded by babes throughout the video, I still wonder if he's gay or if his personallity is just naturally acting like a flamer. 2. Gene is merely a shadow of his former demon days, with his Salvador Dali outfits and Dolly Parton wig. He's so gone 'Hollywood' that you wonder if he could name more than a song or two off Animalize, Asylum, or Crazy Nights. 3. Does that butler have more balls than Gene and Paul put together? 4. How often does Paul share his bed with Sonny Crockett? (his very Michael Jackson like monkey) 5. Has Paul ever read a book in his life? Joseph Kiss senior (who envisioned KISS in 1645) was actually a portrait of Sir Walter Haig.
Rating: Summary: Hard to see why anyone would like this video Review: Where do I start? Low points: 1. Make-believe interviews (c'mon guys, real ones are infinitely more interesting). 2. Gene and Paul acting like sex-crazed eighth graders. 3. Gene and Paul slamming Ace and Peter (especially Ace). 4. Gene and Paul acting like buffoons (especially Paul). High points: 1. A few minutes of excellent, early concert footage from around 1973 or so. 2. Oh, well of course the girls are nice to look at. Conclusion: This video is awful and it was filmed during a time when Kiss was releasing some of the worst music ever. During this period they sounded as if they were trying to compete with Loverboy, or maybe Night Ranger. Don't buy it for the scantily clad young ladies prancing around. There are plenty of videos on that subject and you don't have to sit through Gene and Paul's ego trip.
Rating: Summary: Blast From the Past Review: Wow! Watching this again was like reliving the 80's. My bigest beef with this tape is Bruce and Eric (so vital to KISS in the 80's) are virtually ignored. What a slight! The comedic edge the tape has can be annoying at times. The videos are nice as are the live concert clips.
Rating: Summary: The music ages well, but the antics don't Review: Yes, I did buy this on VHS back in 1987. Yes, I loved it. But KISS has released some other long-form videos since then (Extreme Close-up, KISS Konfidential, etc.) that were more informative, more interesting, and less juvenile by comparison. "KISS Exposed" contains a lot of their videos from the 1980's, and the crisp DVD picture really enhances the colorfulness of them, especially "Uh! All Night" and "Tears Are Falling". I gotta admit, they look really good - much better than they ever did on VHS. And the interview segments with Mark Blankfield are kinda interesting, too. But the filler segments - with the girls, the pool, the breakfast table, etc - seem a bit silly now when you consider how much better the other long-form videos are. At best it is all goofy boys-will-be-boys fun. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. But the more serious direction they went with "Kiss Extreme Close-Up" in 1992 was much more to my liking and interesting.
