Thrills In The Night

[poserboy71]

Even though I don't care for the album or tour, As far as sheer vocal range with ease, Crazy Nights is his shining moment.
That's when he was really working out. I believe that it helped him tremendously. He never hit notes like that on a tour or CD again. He pushed his voice to the limit.

The coolest PS vocal moment is "I've Had Enough(Into The Fire). I remember doing a double take and having to re-drop the needle a few times to hear this part at the 3:23 mark:

Paul has so many great highlights over 40 years and think that all the songs that everyone has mentioned here are gems but I completely agree with Rick here. There is no doubt that he expanded his vocal range performing the Phantom of the Opera stuff but as far as straight singing I agree that the vocals on Crazy Nights from a technical and range stand point are the highlight of Paul's Career.

Here are some examples:

I agree with both Poserboy and Slayer. I was listening to Crazy Nights just last night in my car and Paul's voice on this album is just sublime.

I know as of late this record has earned itself of lot of criticism, but for me, this album is a real highlight in KISS' career. As a teenager I couldn't get enough of this record and now, more than 25 years later, I still enjoy pretty much everything about it.

Great post Kev ! I agree, IMO Paul is one of the great rock singers of all time...maybe under appreciated because of how critics viewed KISS, but he has a distinct a voice as anyone in rock. A voice is a tough thing to maintain with age and even moreso when singing hard rock, metal , etc. For the most part, Paul has done a great job throughout.

[FREDDYB3]

For me, Creatures of the Night , Lick It Up , Animalize , and Asylum as well as Crazy Nights all featured
excellent vocal performances from Paul.. That 5 album span was one of the best spans in his career in my opinion (vocally speaking of course )

My favorite is Live To Win !
Wolfi

[Genebaby]

Once again, too many great performances to choose from.

In the 80's he really took it up a notch until by Crazy Nights he was off the chart!

Yes in deed!

[PinkWiz]

Just A Boy...

[poserboy71]

Just A Boy...

Honestly in the Top 10 for me.

[PinkWiz]

I actually really like it... he never sang falsetto much.

[doublev2]

What about THE OATH pretty impressive. Take me is not bad too.

[PinkWiz]

It's odd that Paul would even admit he couldn't hit the high notes in The Oath, so that's why Ezrin suggested falsetto (and it sounded killer). The only other time I can think of Paul using falsetto is the bridge in Magic Touch.

[doublev2]

Great singing in magic touch. The oath is out of the park.
