Black Diamond

Out on the street for a living

You know it's only begun

They've got you under their thumb

Out on the street for a living

And it is only begun

Doing all that you can

And now you're under their thumb

Oooh, black diamond

Oooh, black diamond

Out on the street for a country

And it's only a dream

Got other people marching

And it's only a way

Out on the street for a living

You know it is only begun

Regardless a street or a country

They got you under their thumb

This is the worst cover I've ever heard in my life. You should feel ashamed that you ruined the best KISS song ever.

Definitely one of the better Kiss covers out there, right up there with the best. I love Kiss and I love The Replacements. Great recording.

Now this song brings back some memories: back in the day (1977), one of my friends, a die-in-the-wool Kiss Army member, he says, "Rob, pay attention and check out "Black Diamond" by Kiss. I said thats "yeah, that's a good one..." My musical leanings were Buddy Holly at that time. Anyway, I like this cover by the Replacements too. Nothing wrong with this version. We can't expect our boys: Gene, Paul, and whoever to keep playing. Somebody has got to take up these songs and make them their own.

This cover sucks balls compared to the original version. I apologize in advance to all the pretentious assholes who can't find merit in Kiss on any level. I know how hard it must have been for you when, after 15 years, the RRHOF finally had to let them in beside your beloved Steely Dan and whatever other bands you listen to while sucking dick for coke.

Considering what this song is actually about, this version just sounds so much more gritty, "street" and just plain dangerous than the original.

You're right, I don't like it though, I think they took it too far off.

If they played the riffs right, it would be just another cover. The Replacements put their take on it. That's what I want from a cover, not strict adherence to the original. If I wanted that, I would just listen to the original.
