bruce shows why he was the best even though all kiss guitarists are all good , bruce is the only one that could have pulled this off accousticaly. bruce shows why he was the best guitarist in kiss.
well done
This is just as good as any studio recorded album. Kiss translates well into an acoustic set.
Alive! is legendary, Unplugged is a masterpiece.
Alive! is legendary, but Unplugged is a masterpiece. This is among the great KISS albums.
The album shows the true integrity of KISS and that their songs hold up as classic rock n' roll.
The main highlights are "Comin' Home", "I Still Love You", "2,000 Man", "Beth" and "Nothin' To Lose".
Bruce Kulick does a great job taking Ace's electric guitar solos and translating them to work accoutically.
The set list was so diverse for this show, it really is a great listen all around.
I have also found this to be a great jumping off point for introducing people to KISS who might have an aversion to "guys that wear make-up" or people who say "they're great performers, but the music is weak".
I gave a copy to my best friend who thinks Springsteen is God and he now he's added the four-who-are-one to his list of rock deities.
So if you haven't already, buy this album. Then buy Kisstory Vol. 3 for a few extras and to see the unplugged action come Alive!.
Kiss Accoustic is Awsome
It has some really good accoustic versions of there classic songs. This is a great album. Coming Home accoustic buries the original. It sounds like it was meant to be recorded this way. Who couldn't like the reunion of the four original members. .
Great Classic Album! The Kiss Reunion!
But, with Ace and Peter it's awesome and over the top. Finally a great setlist! Even without the reunion, this would have been great. "2000 Man" is awesome! And finally "Beth" gets done the right way and is the best version of the song aside from the studio version. But I was so excited to have them do "See You Tonite" from Gene's solo record, and "A World Without Heroes" from The Elder. This is the kind of mixing up of the setlist they should have always been doing. Thank Heavens they're mixing it up recently on the Rock the Nation tour which I can't say enough about. After this album it was a very exciting summer of 1996 to scramble for tickets to a reunion show.
