@Rampant7990 Sorry about that fucked up my sentence lol, what i meant to say is at the time Sabbath was still heavier ,Kiss is fuckin great band but all those loves they did really turned me off from them.
Admittedly Ace's solo is awesome. My favorite song off Hotter than Hell. But please. I was part of the Kiss Army when until I was 12 or so. Their music is extremely simple, dated and really not that good! Granted, a great show! But come on man! Montrose had their first album in '73 too and blows the doors off anything KISS ever came out with!
@timm441 Hi Timm...yes, extremely dated. "Rock and Roll All Nite" sure...probably their most recognized rock song. "Beth"? A love ballad long dead and gone. "Detroit Rock City"?dead too. Even later songs like "Lick it Up" is dead. Therefore "dated". Most Zep and Beatle songs simply live on. And really, would you rather hear "Rock Candy" by Montrose or what..."Love Gun"? C'mon man! I've been playing guitar 30 years now. Go ahead like KISS but other than a live show, I'd never listen on headphones
Ok so we can agree to disagree, which is cool. I personally am a huge KISS fan so also a bit biased. I admit their live shows are them at their best. I do appreciate though, the fact that we can disagree and debate in a civil manner. I have gotten many replies when stating my opinion, that are simply insults from the start. And honestly all this comes down to one's personal opinions and preferences. I love rock music and talking about it and it's all good to see others have passion for it.
@timm441 You suck ass! WTF is your problem? I'm kidding. I think it's great the KISS ARMY stills lives strong. I just moved on....but still stuck in a time-warp a bit. I hate most current music. It's great to discuss our likes/dislikes here. People take it way too personally! Watch my video...and my faves...people actually "hate" me because of my opinion? Ridiculous! I like the fact there are still KISS fans.
@jarjon76 yeah the ACE solo is awesome period.period man! ill give thayer one thing ,,the talent as a guitar player.period man you see.so the thing is ACEstands alone. so the name thayer doesnt deserve to be near ACE...thayer is not ACE.as a kiss fan its a disrespect to KISS fans and to ACE and PETER to have fake people behind ICONSmake up.sorry if you dont agree
aint no band in the world can touch the original kiss man / these guys were REAL / they were from the streets and they were the real fuckin deal man / pure raw rock and roll baby !!
and all Gene can do is put shit on this man Ace, Pull ya fat fkn head in Gene and listen to Hotter Than Hell again, it's obviously been a long fkn time since you did.
This is a really old one by KISS, but Peter Criss's vocals are really great. I love the raspy quality. Eric Singer is good, and I like him, but he'll never be Peter.
It's a shame that Starnge Ways never made it;s way into the set list of KISS live shows. Could you imagine seeing the original line-up kick this out live. Or, the thundering double bass drums of Eric Carr blowing this through the roof tops of concert halls.
@bjdot666 Very cool. My daughters also grew-up listening to KISS as well. Probably a few times as I changed their diapers as well. KISSNATION FOREVER !!!!
Ace Frehley one of the greatest guitarists ever...he just had charisma!!!!! Peter Criss sings his best Kiss song also on this. Awesome song...........
This has long been one of my absolute favorite Kiss tunes. I generally love anything Ace writes. His playing is positively blistering on this track, I only wish there was a live clip of it.
This is the best song (a tie with "Parasite") from that long-gone, real hard rock, song-writting band known as KISS, which ceased to exist AFTER "Destroyer". The rest of their kisstory is just a commercial product, successful nonetheless....congrats.
Sure can tell the difference between these songs I mention and for example, "Dr. Love" and "I was made for 'selling you' stuff" ", right?
There is something mystical about Ace's solo in this song. Tell me you don't want to listen to it over and over. Vinny , Bruce, etc. good guitarist, but only one true Kiss grate. Ace!!!
While I agree Ace is the best, and just had that special something. I feel that Bruce is a great guitar player. Vinnie on the other hand is really fast but plays with no emotion. He is like a robot.
Glynnracing79 I was referring 2 the solos from the band as in Paul Peter gene and ace. He had the best solo album. And I beg 2 differ on the other guitarist.
@gregerv37 umm i hi ope so,since he was the only guitar player in kiss during the 70's.and bruce and vinnie and mark are 100 time sbetter guitar players then ace.
Some modern players that have Ace's slow vibrato, John Sykes, Paul Gilbert who credits Aces vibrato as a hughe influence. What a solo. My favorite Kiss song for over 30 years. If I mention it to a casual fan they don't know the song at all.
yeah i still have my vinyl i got it when i was six years old im thirty-eight now do the math and i still play the sucker and its on the blue label yes.
You and I both. I'm 41 and man I remember being 9 years old a nd loving this tune. I still thinks it's Aces' best solo. Kileer tone, a wah , neck position Les Paul and a Marshall.
I've remembered listening to this song for roughly 30 years (I use to have the original on vinyl). Thanks to youtube, i've heard this track again. The young bucks out there could learn a thing or two from one of the best guitar solos ever played. Thank you Ace. Saved in my fav's and on heavy rotation!!
Great song, with one of the most tasteful solos ever
