Summary: 60 minute semi-documentary
Review: Just a smattering of seemingly random clips. Having never seen Vinnie Vincent in any clips I found it interesting & entertaining for the short amount of time that this ran. If I was to complain, I'd want more for my money. I would want more bonus material, music, liner material. If I spend [$$] I just dont want a single 55 minute segment with nothing much more.

Summary: Kiss Unathorized
Review: KISS Unathorized is a cool retrospect of the band for the fans, by the fans. KISS is shown throughout the DVD in concert footage, still photos, record store signings and interview footage.The highlights of the DVD are seeing KISS in 1993, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss and Eric Carr (WITH THE HONOR BEING PRESENTED TO ERIC'S PARENTS) being inducted into the (I think) Rock walk of fame..Then receiving a Hollywood Star in 1998, plus Gene & Paul's Rockers Against Drugs commercials from the 1980's... The best thing about this DVD is that it doesn't just concentrate only on the original band, It features all members in one form or another..For an "Unauthorized" released, I must say it's worth for diehard KISS fans to pick up..

Summary: KISS Unauthorized: A "Backstage" View
Review: KISS: Unauthorized is a must-own for KISS fanatics. Although there are few clips of KISS performing live, this DVD is loaded with cool footage of the band (the late lineup: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, and Eric Singer, and the original lineup: Gene, Paul, Peter Criss, and Ace Freliley) at record signings, on TV shows being interviewed, at the conventions, and even setting up for a performance. Some great moments are Ace Freliey's induction into the Rock and Roll walk of fame, and KISS appearing outside in full makeup and costume for a 'press conferrence.' Definitely worth seeing, but probably not something you'd watch many, many times!

Summary: Unauthorized - Better Than I Thought It Would Be
Review: OK, first things first. I was NOT going to buy this DVD simply because of the people who released it - If it was going to be anything like the "KISS - Rock & Roll Legends" DVD, then I wasn't going to touch it with a 30 foot clown pole. I've enjoyed many other KISS DVD's in the past (Including enjoyable BOOTLEG VHS tapes) So I gave it a lot of thought, knowing that there is no official KISS music in it... That wouldn't bother me too much. Just as long as the footage is fun to watch (Once again, Unlike the footage in "Rock & Roll Legends" - 44mins of watching the same boring camera angle from the same damn interview) So I checked out the reviews on Amazon.com to see if I could get any help. Heh... no such luck. - The guys that bought the VHS version were all UNHAPPY, the guys who bought the DVD version were HAPPY with this release. So who was I going to believe?????? Who cares!!!!!!!! Nobody knows your tastes better than yourself, and if you ARE a KISS fan, then you should like this DVD for the archival footage. The reason I needed to hear what other people said , was because I wanted to know what I would be paying for on the actual DVD. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just the same interview over and over, with the same line-up over and over. Nobody helped with that stuff, and most importantly I WANTED TO KNOW THE RUNNING TIME!!! I wasn't going to pay that much for a 30 or 40 min DVD again. The back of the package doesn't even say how long it runs for. There are no real technical details on Amazon's(US) page either - so I checked Amazon.com(UK) and they said it runs for 55 Mins. So I said, that's fairly decent enough - I'll get it. When I took the CD out of the pack, I was even happier to see that it said:- Running Time 90mins printed on the cd :) .... Oh yeah, they lied - it only ran for about 55 mins :( REAL DETAILS:
*Running time: About 55Mins (The CD itself says 90mins?? Why?)
*Lots of varied footage (Not the same interviews over and over)
News Clips, Interviews, Events, Signing Sessions.
*Lots of different line-ups (Fans of the 70's, 80's and 90's KISS should be pretty happy)
*There is no KISS music - although the guitar music that IS played throughout the DVD seems to be very very similar to the tunes from "Audio Dog" (Bruce Kulick's new solo CD). Maybe it's an unofficial guitarist playing disguised tunes from the Audio Dog album? There ARE definitely some familiar Kulick tunes in this DVD.... I wonder if he knows about this? This is a great DVD if you want archival KISS footage and don't mind watching below average video quality (It may be DVD, but they're amateur fan clips - still cool to watch though).
Now if you want to watch first class footage WITH music clips thrown in, you should check out "KISS: Exposed" - I'm dying to get that one:)

Summary: Its about the people BEHIND the music....
Review: OK, So its not full of KISS tunes! You want tunes, buy a CD or a concert video! This is an interesting snapshot into the guys as they are. The people behind the makeup and rock&roll. Particularly, glimpses into Eric Carr. Very good
