Kiss: Animalize Live Uncensored is a live video by the American rock band Kiss of a performance filmed during the American leg of the Animalize Tour. The tour featured arguably the most varied setlist Kiss has ever played, featuring songs from seven of the band's studio releases up to that point. Three songs from Animalize were played, and many of the band's famous songs were performed. The show was filmed on the same day temporary guitarist Bruce Kulick was named an official member, replacing Mark St. John.

The biggest criticism's with the VHS/LaserDisc release was their heavy studio overdubbing. Much of Paul Stanley's guitar playing was re-recorded in the studio prior to the final audio mix for the video release, just like what was done with Alive and Alive II.[citation needed] Stanley's vocals were heavily, if not entirely, overdubbed in the studio to make for a cleaner audio presentation.[citation needed] The concert has yet to be officially released on DVD. The only DVD available is a Brazilian-produced DVD conversion of a Japanese laserdisc (featuring "burned in" Portuguese subtitles in a black box, superimposed over the original Japanese subtitles), and its legality is questionable.[1] The concert is reportedly set to be re-released as part of the upcoming fourth volume in the band's Kissology series.[2]
