First time I ever heard someone from KISS do a ballad.

One of the greatest balads of the 1970's!

Some people simply don'y understand that a remarkable song has qualities that fall outside the timeframe of its creation. In otherwords, "Beth" by Kiss is Timeless.

There's nothing about this song that screams, "70's!". But that's the point. True musical creativity should not be in a straightjacket. And potential cannot be judged by outward appearances.

This song is something different. But sometimes "different" is good.

Every generation will hear this song and the reaction will still be amazement. 

"Beth", in my opinion, has made KISS - immortal!

I heard it the first time and I'm very amazed
