  • I feel bad for Paul. You can tell, he wants to be more serious with gene. Of course Gene can't not be serious! Paul ACTUALLY want to be looser with Ace. But at the same time, he wants to make Gene happy. At some points he looks like he's gonna have a panic attack. Ace (obviously) is wasted, But he's having fun! Gene's just being a jerk. And Peter. Peter looks like 10 pounds of shit shoved in a 5 pound bag.

  • haha gene can't handle people laughing at him

  • 5:00 Awesome Ace !!!! I just wonder what Gene was thinking...

  • Paul and Ace are having a good old time, Paul is trying to be the cool, reasonable one and Gene just looks pissed off and embarrassed, hahhaha

  • Just four New York guys who came together and wanted to rock and created the greatest band in the world. Funny how fate works that way eh?

  • I can only imagine being peter up on that drum kit trying to play with your head bumping the ceiling. lol

  • That poor camera guy probably hates Ace...

  • It's really funny to see Gene sitting there in ARMOR, but with his legs crossed, and talking all professionally.

  • @puppetmaster983

    I know, exactly. I remember back then thinking "he's dressed like that and wants to be perceived as this serious intellectual or whatever". Gene is thinking "This asshole is making us look like fools". Come on dude, look how your dressed. I love Kiss btw, but just saying.

    Peter and Ace are living the rock star dream and having a blast. Paul seems to be sorta caught in the middle as it were. Gene just has no sense of humor.

  • Ace is hilarious! A little liquid courage?

  • They seem like a bunch of nice, funny guys - like a family that drives each other nuts! Ha ha!

  • "I don't take drugs." *SNIFF*

  • hahahahahah ace "IM AN INPOSTA!! ACE IS AT HOME!"

  • Tom: So your kind of like a spaceman, huh?

    Ace: No, actually I’m a plumber!

    Tom: Well listen, I gotta little piece of pipe backstage I’d like to have you work on.

    Ace: Tell me about it!!!

    SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Aces book brought me here as well. It made me realize a lot. I love every member. But Gene has the biggest stick up his ass and was not as funny as Ace and Peter. Paul and Gene should have lightened up

  • I love how Ace says "You know.." hahahah :)

  • "concert payers".

  • Aces book brougt me here

  • gene isn't as funny as he thinks he is, now ace on the other hand, funny shit!

  • "I'm an impostor! Ace is back on hiss ass!!!"

  • LMAO ACE IM A PLUMBER

  • classic! the book is good, man Ace IS LOADED!!!

  • from Ace's book, he's lit up in this interview! Feeling no pain

  • Gene made a fuckin sales pitch in the middlebof the show!!

  • "Actually im a plumber!" Possibly the best line ever

  • Ace rules!

  • My outfit is self explanetory

  • 4.57 5.42  8.45 best moments

  • 08:46 "No actually im a  plumber" LMFAO ROFL

  • Ace would make a good Joker

  • Ace is fantastic, I love his laugh :D

  • I love Ace and Peter, they're so funny! Gene and Paul are too serious :\

  • get this copy, on the copy off of kissology 2, they left out a funny part where tom forgets genes name, calls him george, anyway, obviously gene wouldn't put all of this on the kissology, the more i get to know about gene, the more i dislike him

  • @vanhalen515084 I agree. He acts like he didnt know how to have a good time.

  • kind of strange knowing that peter was in the process of being fired around this time, he seems pretty clean in this interview, although ace makes everyone look straight

  • Comment removed

  • Tom Snyder was going to start being a dickhead and try to insult them at some point, I'm glad Ace was drunk and fucked up the interview.

  • The stick up Gene's butt has a stick up it's butt.

  • @WY97212 No that Stick has a Gene Simmons

  • The stick up Gene's butt has a stick up it's butt.

  • This video proves Ace really DOES have super-human powers: by making millions of fans love him instantly.

  • Without Ace there'd be no Kiss- Gene would've faced a life of selling discount electronics on Kings Highway in Brooklyn...

    Simmons is such a fucking bore- and a bad cliche of Jews...

  • God Gene is a fucking bore. Lighten up you douchebag, fucking Ace and Peter are having a good time, let em! What a prick.

  • Damn I never knew how deep Paul's voice was kinda turns me on. XD!!!

  • XD ACE!!!! OH MY GOD HE'S FUCKIN HILARIOUS!! GENE'S A LITTLE MAD.... BUT WHO CARES?! XD

  • 13:37 Gene "they got him drunk" and thinking "fuck....he's screwing up everything" hahaha c'mon fucking jew...laugh a little!!! that's what life is about!! how many days do you have left? are you taking all your currency you made? (not money) ??? huh???? laugh bitch!!!

  • I have to watch this a few times now and then because it's priceless! Ace is obviously under some influence, but he's the life of the party! Meanwhile Gene is the "stick in the mud" and seems like he doesn't want KISS to look like a bunch of clowns. Well, look at yourself! Peter is pretty "happy" here too and Paul appears to be the moderator, just to keep Gene from biting Frehley's head off and drinking his blood! Bottom line...Simmons is just an asshole - just my opinion.

  • had to watch this again myself.......awesome!.....I'm still laughing....

  • hahaa, watching it again and Ace would have made a great Joker!

  • I watch this for Ace...Sure he was pretty high, but he held his own...He made this a fun interview rather than a stiff interview...I showed this to my mother tonight and she laughed along with Ace's comments and she's 71...Just goes to show you...

  • 5:23 Peter says "You'll suffer in the dressing room for that one"......

  • Shecky Frehley is doing a tour of the Carskills of late now that Gene and Paul gave him his pink slip!

  • ace and peter are my favourite part of kiss. so great :)

  • I always liked Ace as a kid, and I saw KISS on the Love Gun tour. He's the most "real" and likeable guy in the band.

  • @69torus yeah definitely.

  • Its hard to look at Gene and think he was cool after knowing what a greedy asshole he is from his reality show. Something tells me he hardly changed..

  • This is probably right before Gene and Paul fired Ace..What tight asses they were!

  • Ace was in the wrong band. He should've joined motley crue, back in the day :D

  • @MrOboema Good comment Bro........thats EXACTLY what 'Should've Been' . AND ! ....Gene should've been in 'Wham' .

  • I'm a PLUMMAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Gene's face is classic.

  • Gene not amused with Ace being ripped during interview !!!!

  • 7:30 oh god that's awkward ahahahahaha. Ace was hilarious in this interview.

  • THE BAND WOULD LATER ADMIT THAT PETER AND ACE WERE LOADED (DRINKING AND/OR DRUGS) DURING THIS INTERVIEW. PAUL AND GENE WERE VERY PISSED OFF.

  • @MHK33009 Gene is always pissed off if nobody is paying attention to him. He's nothing but a narcissistic little boy who wants everything to be about him. Back then, and to this very day !!!

  • @ReneeNme True, but hes still cool as hell

  • assyou are cool kiss andkiss you roock

  • Man Ace would make an epic joker

  • Gene = Nerd/Uptight Paul = Constant Peter/Ace = Natural/Drugs

  • Gene should have said "Listen Tom, I'm a grown man wearing kabuki makeup and an expensive halloween costume......NOW TAKE ME SERIOUS, DAMN IT!"

  • 8:30 "Belower" which is the opposite of "abover"

  • im reading ace's bio ( no regrets ) and he talks about this in the book .

    this book is great every fan should read it .

  • Ace owned that interview.

  • For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, read Ace's new book and then watch this video. Pure gold.

  • @NorthernMars I read it,,, it was amazing!

  • @NorthernMars Doing that right now.. the book is awesome """"""

  • @NorthernMars hey, how's the book? is it good? I haven't bought it yet.

  • @NorthernMars i love ace but i dont have time to read his book. can u just tell me? pm me if u have to. thnx in advance.

  • @NorthernMars I did it was really good XD

  • @NorthernMars I have seen this interview at least half a dozen times before and am currently reading Ace's book now. The book seem to bring this interview more to life now. Thanks Ace, and Kiss for having been such a big part of my life. I took a lot of ridicule from friends back in the day for you. Loved every min of it. Aren't the eating crow now!!

  • @NorthernMars I am finishing up his book right now, Ace mentions that you can see him putting his hands up in the air and saying, "What??" at Gene. Anyone catch where this happened?

  • @NorthernMars Noo its better if you tell us

  • DYSLEXSI)..paul and gene are to big ego,,they dont like ace and peter talking...and kiss without ace and peter is piss !!.. this days they go around raping their own songs..time to let kiss go paul and gene,, the new kiss is more bad than the worst tribute band.. kiss without ace and peter is just a tribute band !!!..the magic is no longer there !!

  • madness

  • Ace was an influence on Dimebag Darrell. I now see where that influence kicks in haha. Aces laugh is priceless though, poor Gene :P

  • Priceless. Gene himself said they raise hell. So lighten up and laugh.

  • I'm reading Aces book right now and he talks about this interview. Had to see it! Funny stuff!

  • gene is so depressing compared to ace

  • Ace, like it or not, a new way of behaving in an interview.

    In other words, do not take seriously that is a big joke.

    Becoming light and relaxed, laughing at himself and others.

    Since Gene and Paul try to make what is a serious joke.

    Gene still relax a little, but Paul's stance of lady of the 19th century.

    Priceless!

  • Boy, being a newsman you have to interview some strange people.

  • VOI HERRANJUMALA ACEN NAURUA!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD REEEEEEPS. pilas koko haastattelun. se o ihana ku tos KISS-maskin takaa kirjassa kerrotaa tästä haastattelusta ja et kaikki piti acea iha hissukkana ja sit siit tuliki tollane shown varastaja :DD ja peterki sano siin et "sinä iltana olin acen suurin fani" aaw :3 :dd niin ihania<3

  • ACE IS SO DAMN FINNY. :DD

  • 4:53

    Paul: When You see all these people screaming and crying-

    Ace:*giggles* CRYING? 'Oh, i spent all that money'

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

    Ace is hilarious whan he was drunk!

  • You can notice how damn amused Simmons is, compared to Frehley and Kriss and who seem to be high as fuck (at least Frehley). Stanley is just trying to sit there and smile like nothing ever happened, hilarious!

  • 8:48 is the BEST!

    

  • Ace was on FIRE! 4:59 is CLASSIC! LOVE IT!

  • Ace's laugh is infectious...He is cutting everyone up. "I stole this from Flash Gordan" "No actually I'm a plumber"..Gene even laughs...Ace is the greatest. Peter and Ace look like they had so much fun here.

    Who was in the Kiss Army in '76??

    This is Kisstory...

    Kiss is Epic!!

  • @portlandfan Gene don't laugh, look at his face after Ace did the plumber joke.

  • @portlandfan Maybe, but right after the Tom states "I HAVE A LITTLE PIECE OF PIPE IN THE BACK FOR YOU TO LOOK AT" AND ACE REPLIES "TELL ME ABOUT IT" ..GENE AT LEAST CHUCKLES.... WHO CARES HE'S A SNOB ANYWAY, THEN AND NOW. MY COMMENT IS ABOUT ACE!!

  • LOL Ace is fucked!

  • can i say "raise hell" on tv?... psh 2011 i think they say that on the disney channel

  • 4:49 and 8:42 -9:10 for epic hilarious Ace moments and 10:11-10:28 for pissed off negative wants to kill Ace money hungry miserable fuck Gene Simmon moment.

  • Ace and Peter, even when i was 8, seemed so rock n roll. Gene n Paul were always suss, this interview shows the truth of the dynamic. Long live 70`s KISS!

  • In this whole interview, Gene was just pissed that Ace and Peter were stealing the show .

  • ehm I`m good looking babe

  • made me laugh my arse off...ACE was hilarious, who cares if he was drunk

  • Wow ace is soooooo drunk

  • Holy Shit Ace is drunk as hell!

  • Ace!

  • Gene and Paul are trying to act all cool and Ace just doesn't give a rats arse!

  • kiss army member since 77 and i love the fact that we see kiss as the way they are gene is and will always be a tight ass money grubber its in his dna and a selfish bullshit er

  • Now THIS.... is a band interview... Brilliant :)

  • 14:27 "no no " Say what you will about Gene being too conservative in this interveiw, but while he is straight as an arrow here he is all too aware of how idiotic the press can be when it came to sexual preferences. I mean they witnessed that all through ther seventies. Never mind the press. You know how stupid people can be. Gene may be more aware that although fun is fun they may have to be careful about what is said, joking or not. He doesnt want his baby trampled.Can you Blame him?

  • 5:24 "You'll suffer in the dressing room." Probably. 7:01 "I get beat up by him." LOL. The truth is I have no problem with the out of control, saying too much carefree nature of Ace but thats not to say the professional and attention to the power of the media held by Gene here is unwarranted or unimportant. And check Paul nervously looking about, worried about whats being said. LOL Aces comment about Genes telescope thing seems to be loaded. Was he star gazing or well....LOL

  • Ace kills me. His laugh makes me laugh. Loads of fun. Im the troat player. LOL

  • What did Gene Simmons expect when he became involved with Rock and Roll...to be surrounded by polite intellectuals minding their manners....please.

  • gene ace is great get a sense of humor and lightin up time to have fun and quit being a prick to ace

  • NO IM ACTUALLY A PLUMER LOL XD

  • when was this?

  • I love how Paul handled it he had fun during the interview whereas Gene lost the spotlight and was unhappy. I like Peter and all but Ace was impossible to replace he was naturally cool. I still love all lineups except the Animalize era but Kiss is still awesome either way.

  • @AFBN The Animalize era sucked Mark St John was a horrible replacement for VV, They should've just went along with Bruce Kulick right away.

  • @matthewosmond1984 ya definitely St.John  was not a good fit.

  • @AFBN I don't think he sucks, he just wasn't good enough to join the group. they should've put Bruce in the group right away

  • @matthewosmond1984 I don't think he sucked either but I didn't like the way his style fit in with Kiss it didn't mesh. I liked Bruce also he was very talented guitarist but when he changed the solos on the classic Kiss songs specifically Love Gun they never mixed. Bruce was a great guitarist like I said but I just didn't like his solos on the classics. Otherwise Bruce was a great fit in the band.

  • @AFBN Ace is better than all the other lead guitarists Kiss had, I rank Ace #1, VV #2, Bruce at #3 (No Offense to Bruce) Tommy Thayer #4, and Mark St John at #5. You probably think Bruce is better than VV and i sort of agree with you if you do, Vinnie's ego got in the way of him staying with the group and the stuff Vinnie said about Kiss was way out of line. And Vinnie didn't change the solos on the classics like Bruce did so there's that.

  • @matthewosmond1984 no I agree with what you said but when it comes to Tommy I actually think he's better fit for Kiss than Bruce and Vinnie were just because he's able to maintain Ace's guitar playing style unlike the others. Granted none of them are anywhere near as cool as Ace but Tommy maintains his style of guitar playing unlike the others. Vinnie had the most personality behind Ace along with skill, Bruce had the talent but he didn't stand out he wasn't charismatic or memorable really.

  • @AFBN Yeah that's true Bruce had the talent but he didn't do anything memorable and Tommy does know all of Ace's solos. VV was okay on stage but Gene actually told me that VV and Paul almost got into a fist fight because VV had like six minute long guitar solos and he sold a fan a guitar for more than what it was worth so VV was a douchebag off stage and sort of on stage.

  • @matthewosmond1984 I heard the same about VV and Paul although I think Paul was in better condition and would've kicked VV's ass. Ya VV was a good guitarist and writer but he was a dick. ya Bruce was talented but the truth is he was pretty boring even more so compared to Vinnie and much more so compared to Ace.

  • @AFBN I met everybody who was a member of KISS except for Eric Carr R.I.P. Gene was nice(shockingly), Paul was nice, Ace was nice and funny (obviously), Peter was cool, Vinnie was nice (shockingly), Mark St John was okay, Bruce was nice, Eric Singer was friendly, Tommy was cool. Ace was nicer than all of them, well obviously. Sadly I didn't meet Eric Carr, God Rest his soul R.I.P

  • @matthewosmond1984 that's pretty cool my brother met Eric during the Asylum tour in '86 and he told me he was cool and funny. I'd like to meet all of them one day especially Paul,Gene and Ace. Although I am surprised Gene was nice I heard he was an asshole most of the time.

  • @AFBN Yeah, Gene is an asshole most of the time. My Dad met Eric during the Lick It Up tour. Eric was with his girlfriend and they were about to leave but my Dad asked Eric to sign the Creatures of the Night and Lick it Up albums and a tourbook which i now have. They were all with their girlfriends. Eric said "sure buddy i'll sign them for you. Then Gene came out but he didn't sign because well you know how Gene is. Paul signed too. and then Vinnie signed, their girlfriends were nice as well.

  • @matthewosmond1984 yeah I always heard Eric was the most approachable during the 80's non-makeup era because he was friendly. My brother says Eric was pretty funny to when he met him in '86. He said he met Eric after a show and he was signing autographs and hanging out with fans for a good portion of time. The whole time it was like hanging out with friends he said when meeting Eric Carr.

  • @AFBN Eric sounded like one person i would've liked to meet. I met Ace in 1998. He was fckin hilarious. He wasn't drunk or anything.. They were about to go in the dressing room when i asked Ace to sign some albums and magazines and he said "sure man, no problem" and I said to him "Ace your the coolest member of KISS and thank you so much". He said "your welcome buddy, fans like you are the reason why we're the best Rock n' Roll group in history". He's the best of the best no doubt.

  • @matthewosmond1984 that's awesome man I'd love to meet Ace someday he was by far the coolest member, he had the most personality no question.

  • @AFBN He was very cool, Gene walked out of the room and was pissed at Ace for signing autographs and told him that they have 2 hours to put on the makeup and everything and Ace said to Gene "The fans are the reason we're the best, and I don't ever see you sign any autographs for anybody. Gene replied by saying "Hey, i'm not the one who always shows up drunk all the time. After Ace signed the albums and magazines for me, He was pissed at Gene, But they got along during the show.

  • @matthewosmond1984 I can totally picture that too and I'm sure Ace doesn't charge for autographs either.

  • @AFBN Gene was a jackass. At least Ace cares about we the fans, I asked Ace "how much money do I have to pay you"? and he said "you don't have to pay me, but don''t ask Gene for an autograph he'll make you pay him a $100 bucks or more and we cracked up laughing.

  • @matthewosmond1984 haha did he laugh like he did in this interview? Ya I think Gene would charge 100 bucks minimum for an autograph.

  • @AFBN Yes he did. He's a good ol' laugh.

  • Ace and pete =happy... Paul is ok gene=pissed...???

  • I'm pretty sure Lady Gaga needs to do a show with Kiss in makeup.

  • I dont care about the questions asked to the members I just wanted to hear Ace laugh :)

  • Gene was NOT in control of the interview....and he hated that.....GO ACE!

  • According to all reports, Gene was really pissed off at Ace (especially) and Peter through this whole interview.

  • GREAT ACE FREHLEY :D Ahahahahahahaah

  • Gene is in character

  • i think gene was mad at him!

  • ace is sooooo funny

  • 07:00 - Ace loves anything!

    (just after his phony laugh)

  • This is the only kiss interview that needs to be seen

  • lol i love try new things and thats why im here

  • 7:40 I love Ace's laugh at Paul

  • Impressão minha, ou os cara já tavam de treta entre si. Oh a cara de cu do Gene sauhdygsadsaiuojaosdp

  • Tom Synder: "I got a little piece of pipe backstage I'd like to have you work on."

    Ace Frehley: "TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!"

    Ace rocks!

  • Gene- ever the belligerent kike.

  • Peter looks wasted.

  • @6satan6jesus6 Not really, he's best kind

  • Why do I get the feeling Ace's comment about Gene's interest in telescopes had nothing to do with star gazing. Hey look who's home in apt 416, pass the popcorn.

  • Paul is not gay, his is acting like this is because Ace was drunk and acting funny and he knew his family was watching this so he didn't want to be embarrased

  • Rock n Rolls most famous laugh.

  • Tom Snyder was known for smoking his share of weed. It looks as though Gene had a little disdain even for Tom Snyder for laughing along with Ace and Peter.

  • Apparantly the reason why Ace was drunk was because he drank Vodka before the show so he wouldn't get nervous on the show, Gene was pissed because he didn't want Ace to embarrass him on TV

  • Gene is steaming .

  • Epic

  • Ace is outta control. Kind of guy to drink a picher with and then go and tell dirty jokes to the ladies of the night. Stanly and Gene seem a bit more held back. Look at these guys. They are so happy to be rich. LOL

  • @SCORNDOGGMELACH Ace is the only guy to watch two girls and a cup and not blink.

    He was like, we've done worse on the road.

  • I saw this tour. Dynasty 1980, I was freaking 9 years old. First concert, first dube. I shit you not. When I say that I dont even believe it. And Tom and Stanly if your out there somewhere I hope you guys are doing well. I remember you punks like yesterday. 31 freaking years ago. Vancouver colleseum.

  • Tom needs his pipe worked on LOL

  • LMAO! It doesn't matter how many times I watch this interview, I can not stop laughing my ass off at this. The tension between Gene and the rest of the band is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

    Ace is hilarious.

  • This is what i think of everybody that is still with and no longer part of kiss Gene=Snob Paul= Okay i guess Peter= Cool, but screwed up Ace= Okay, but screwed up also Vinnie= Amazing but turned out to be a Faggot Eric Carr=Amazing Mark St John= okay Bruce Kulick=Good Eric Singer-Great Tommy Thayer= Good but not as good as Ace
  • youre kind like a space ma ?

    ace: no actually im a plomer best laughhhhhhhhh ever

  • ACK!!!!

    

  • How do we know Ace is the coolest guy around? Because he's the one who's drunk and being silly and obnoxious and saying dumb jokes, but the one who comes across as a dick is Gene. Now that is coolness itself.

  • i like all the members of kiss old and new but paul and especially gene seem so snob with peter and mostly ace... i believe that paul and gene think that ace is stealing their star when he says his jokes and laughs ..

  • I hate to love Gene lol

  • I love how Gene and Paul try to be the "Parents" of Ace and Peter lol
