Finally, one of KISS' 1st commercially home video is on DVD. I bought "KISS Exposed" on VHS when it 1st came out, back in 1987. Now that it's on DVD, WOO HOO! Much clearer picture & CD quality sound! See Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons talk about when they 1st started out singing Beatles songs on the street corners in New York. See Paul & Gene go thru a room full of old KISS merchandise including, the piano used on "Beth" & "Christine Sixteen". See Gene in his room "playing Santa Claus" with a bunch of women. Bruce Kulick & Eric Carr also make appearences. There's a whole bunch of women in this video, including "Adult Stars" & "Adult Magazine" models. Like the VHS version, there is brief nudity in this DVD too. There are 7 Music Videos & 8 Live Videos in this DVD. They are...1. Who Wants To Be Lonely (Video '86) 2. Uh! All Night (Video '86) 3. I Love It Loud (Live in Rio De Janeiro '83) 4. Deuce (Live in San Francisco '75) 5. Strutter (Live in Detroit '76) 6. Beth (Live in Houston '77) 7. Detroit Rock City (Live in Australia '80) 8. Tears Are Falling (Video '85) 9. Lick It Up (Video '83) 10. All Hell's Breaking Loose (Video '84) 11. I Love It Loud (Video '82) 12. I Stole Your Love (Live in Houston '77) 13. Heaven's On Fire (Video '84) 14. Ladies Room (Live in Houston '77) 15. Rock And Roll All Nite (Live in Australia '80). I do have ALL of KISS' DVDs that has been released so far, and I do have ALL of their VHS videos (including the hard to get "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park" & "KISS Animalize Live Uncensored"). Me being a HUGE KISS FAN since '78, I'd say, if you're a TRUE KISS FAN from the past or present & you don't have this on VHS then, you should get this DVD! I can't wait until the other commercially released KISS home videos are released on DVD! -:)

I thought KISS Exposed was a an excellent video. I watch it at least once a week and always get a kick out of Gene and Paul's antics. It is full of humour right from the start and has great concert footage as well as videos such as Lick it Up, I love it Loud, Heaven's on Fire etc. It featured interviews with the founding members of KISS, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. A must have for any true KISS fanatic

Kiss exposed part 1,is a classic kiss video.I rated this video and gave it 5 stars.It's got interviews with the band without
make up,videos,beautiful women,rare concert footage and so much more.Kiss exposed is a must for every die hard Kiss fan.

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.

KISS are at their trashiest, brashiest best in this corny mid-eighties video. When you buy this, you'll be treated to all the videos that have now been banished to Classic VH1...plus old-school gems like "Deuce" and "Strutter" in black and white. A must for any KISS fan. A great gift for the "KISS-curious."

This DVD is the best if you want to watch obscure videoclips from the unmasked era: you have the best of them in high quality, great comments. As for the rest of the DVD, there are some great interviews, about the band getting together and stuff, and the walk through the "Kiss Museum" is great, but the parts where you have them talking about how they like to have their women and counting the Carols and things like that can and may be skipped with almost no damage to its worth.

I've seen it, and I like it. The tunes are great, and this sort of thing was what every kid who picked up a guitar in the 80s dreamed of (fame, money, girls...okay, mostly girls, and lots of them.) My only real problem stems from one thing: Why weren't Eric and Bruce allowed to have a little more camera time? I think they were in the thing for a grand total of 3 minutes. the other 80+ seemed to be devoted to Gene & Paul being silly. Good shot, but not quite a bull's-eye.

By the time it was 1987, the hair metal era had been big for about four or five years, and even though Ace Frehley and Peter Criss were gone from KISS and they(KISS)had taken their makeup off, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had managed to keep the band together,even though it meant having lineup changes and taking their makeup off.It was sad to see Ace Frehley and Peter Criss leave the band-but this made up for it.

This DVD starts off with Mark Blankfield(the interviewer in this DVD) talking to people watching the DVD with a little "warning" and then he goes over to Paul Stanley's mansion in Beverly Hills, California. When Blankfield gets there, he rings the doorbell, and Paul answers the door- except he is irritated because he claims that Mark has interrupted his "beauty sleep"(there are a few females who accompany Stanley to the door in this scene)but when Paul finds out that a Barry Manilow concert coming up VERY soon could get in the way of KISS, Blankfield is let inside. Throughout the rest of this DVD, you get interviews with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons,Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr(even though Kulick and Carr have very small parts in this)and you do get to see the "beauties"during most of this DVD. There is video footage of KISS concerts from both the 70's and 80's to be found here, as well as six KISS videos from the 80's: "Lick It Up", "All Hell's Breakin' Loose", "Heaven's On Fire", "Tears Are Falling", "Uh! All Night", as well as the uncensored video for "Who Wants To Be Lonely", which MTV did NOT show on TV.

Highlights(the best scenes from this DVD)include:"The Paul Stanley Exercise Session", the monkey that is dressed up like Sonny Crocket(Don Johnson's character on "Miami Vice"), Paul's(Stanley)beauties telling him that their favorite KISS song is "Uh!All Night"because it reminds him of them with Paul's response being "I've Got Them Well Trained", as well as all of the hot women that are to be found on this DVD.

My only complaints are that Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr were not given a big enough part in this DVD and also because they didn't say anything about the Barry Manilow concert at the end of the DVD that Paul Stanley and Mark Blankfield seemed so worried about at the beginning of this DVD, but other than that, this is KISS at their raunchiest, best, and funniest.Everybody who was in this had very cheesy acting-but that is part of what makes this behind the scenes look at KISS so hillarious.

A great treat for ALL KISS fans-especially(especially)male KISS fans.

I like it! I've had a copy of this since it was released in the 80"s. It is about equal in showing make-up days along with the non make-up years. It is a comical setting, with alot of tongue (ha) -in-cheek stuff. Shows very little of the late Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick. As usual, Paul and Gene hog the camera, but it is a good history lesson for the casual fan. Die-hards like myself know the interview parts, but it is nice to have the video shots of them at the beginning (1974)

KISS EXPOSED is hilariously funny! Gene and Paul give funny interviews throughout, and the videos are awesome! The half-naked girls through the video are expected in a lifestyle like this, and even the reporter gets a little involved at one point! My favorite videos from it are "Lick It Up," "Tears are Falling," and "Heaven's On Fire." It was interesting seeing the temporary guitar players, Vinnie Vincent and Mark St. John. I was rather disappointed that they hardly focused on Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick. Simmons and Stanley provide almost all the talking in this video, and discuss the band's history as well as crack jokes and do all kinds of things to annoy the camera crew! It love it when Stanley puts Root Beer in his Bran Flakes!
