Former KISS guitarist, Bruce Kulick, has shared the video below along with the following introduction:
"On December 8th, 1984 I performed my first official show as a member of KISS. It was also the date we filmed an iconic concert for MTV called Animalize Live! It was released on MTV in April of 1985, and then sold in video tape formats (VHS and Beta) as well as laser disc. It was called Animalize Live Uncensored. It's a fantastic show that's 40 years old that it is out of print. What an honor to be a part of this great concert.
The original board mix is used here, synced to the filmed video. This is how it was heard that night in Detroit, MI.
(Special thanks for Michael Edwards who carefully synced the board tape performance to the video)."
KISS recently announced a special Animalize collection to celebrate the album’s 40th anniversary.
Featured in the collection is a picture disc (limited edition), cornetto color LP (limited edition), a limited edition Animalize all-over print button-up shirt, various t-shirts, a bandana, duffel bag, button set, and bumper sticker. Check out the collection at shopkissonline.com.
