Finally Universal DVD did something right by releasing KISS' awesome trilogy of home videos on DVD. KISS in the early nineties gave their adoring fans quite a bit in terms of home video documentaries and concerts releasing no less than four long form videos between 1992-1995. These were KISS-X-treme Close-Up, KISS Konfidential, KISS My A** and KISS MTV Unplugged, of all of these the first three are finally in print with MTV Unplugged having been discontinued for reasons unknown and fetching upwards of $100.00 on Ebay.
Of all of these, KISS My A** which accompanied the release of the ill fated KISS tribute album of the same name remains my favorite. Eschewing the campiness and comedic approach of KISS Konfidential and offering a plethora of unabridged vintage performances (X-Treme Close-Up only offered brief clips), this is the total package KISS DVD release and is required viewing for even the most casual KISS fan.
The DVD offers a ton of vintage make-up era footage interspersed with incisive and informative interview segments with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer. The quality of the archive footage is stellar on DVD and has never looked better, in particular the songs taken from the 1977 Madison Square Garden performance are breathtaking.
'Parasite' is black and white footage taken from San Francisco 1975, one of the earliest KISS concerts professionally filmed from the 'Hotter Than Hell' tour. 'Do You Love Me' and 'Makin' Love' are taken from the aforementioned 1977 Madison Square Garden, NY gig. The solo album tunes, 'Radioactive', 'Move On' and 'New York Groove' are taken from Largo, MD 1979 on the Dynasty tour. 'C'mon and Love Me', 'She' and Black Diamond' are taken from the January 1976 performances at Detroit's legendary Cobo Hall. 'Hooligan' and 'Shock Me' are taken from the Love Gun tour in Houston, TX 1977-truly the pinnacle of the live KISS experience in the seventies. Also included is 'Love Gun' from Auburn Hills, MI 1992, 'I Love It Loud' 1982 Italian TV appearance, 'I' lip-synch 1981 at Studio 54 without Ace, and a great rehearsal for 'Take Me' from 1976 without make-up. Throw in a bunch of vintage tv commercials from the seventies and rare tv clips and you have a winning formula. The DVD even features a KISS themed Saturday Night Live skit featuring the late Jim Belushi.
Conspicuous by its absence is any footage from Anaheim 1976, Sydney, Australia 1980 or Rio De Janeiro 1983. Footage from the 1980 and 1983 tours would have been particularly effective as a tribute to the talents of the late, great Eric Carr.
The only complaint that could be aimed at this DVD is the lack of 5.1 audio, alas only 2.0 is included, this would sound awesome in a 5.1 mix.
With its unique and entertaining format, this is one music video that I never tire of watching, now let's hope Universal/Mercury gets off their butts and re-issues KISS MTV Unplugged. Also, recommended on dvd-KISS Exposed, KISS-the Second Coming and The KISS Symphony.

I bought this used thinking it was the same old stuff. However I was suprised. This is probably one if not my favorite KISS "story". It is a well done DVD with loads of info for the new KISS fan or the old-timers like my self. Very good and highly recommend.
