One of the stand out tracks off of Alive!, “100,000 Years (Live)” is a magnificent example of Paul Stanley's peerless showmanship. After a lengthy drum solo from Peter Criss, Stanley launches into an engaging interrogation of his audience, asking them whether they like to party and get high, culmina...
[Verse 1]
Sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while
Reacquaint yourself with my style
[Verse 2]
Well, how could you have waited so long?
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up with fear
For a hundred thousand years
[Verse 3]
Sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up with fear
For a hundred thousand years

Alright! I got a question for you!
I got a question for everybody over here
I wanna know, how many people over here
Like to party
Well, alright
And I got a question for all the wild people over here, oh yeah
I wanna know, how many people over here
Like to get high
Alright
I got a question for everybody here
And I didn't forget about you people upstairs neither
Ah yeah
I wanna know, how many people here tonight
Believe in rock 'n' roll
Oh yeah
Well, if you believe in rock 'n' roll
Like you say you believe in rock 'n' roll
I wanna hear everybody here say "rock 'n' roll"

Now come on, I know you can do better than that
So we're gonna try it again
I want you all to catch your breath
'Cause here it comes
I said rock 'n' roll
(Rock 'n' roll)
Oh, we're gettin' there, I know
I know if you really wanted to
You could bring the roof down, yeah
So let's say it this time like you mean it
Ready? Rock 'n' roll!
(Rock 'n' roll!)
Come on and clap your hands
'Cause that's what rock 'n' roll is all about
Now, if y'all believe in rock 'n' roll
Why don't you stand up for what you believe in?
Come on, get up, whoo, come on
Do you feel right?
Do you feel right?
Do you feel right?
Do you feel alright? Ah yeah
Come on
Well, come on
Come on
[Verse 4]
Sorry to have taken so long
