Face it Ace fans.. the sad fact is that if He wasn't such a trainwreck of a human being, He might still be in the group. Great guitar player..but not the most dependable person on the planet...you can sit and say that Gene and Paul are cold hearted assholes, but if You were them, would you let some drunken fucktard bring down your whole empire!? Likely not...
look, I have little respect for Simmons on many levels. To me (my opinion) he is in many ways the epitome of what is wrong with the U.S. (my country). There is no doubt he's a narcissist. To be fair about Ace though the truth is that Ace has been his own worst enemy time and time again. Same with Peter Criss. I sometimes feel sorry for Ace (truly) but he could still be in Kiss if he had played his cards the right way. In the end he arguably chose not to. It just is what it is.
@compworld1 so what is wrong with Gene and this country? Let me guess, you're a liberal turd and thinks that there's a point when someone has "enough" money right? Idiot!
Ace left because he felt that the fans were being duped. The Farewell Tour was 12 years ago and KISS is still playing and has another LP (Monsters) coming out. Well, it was probably all of Gene's doing, anyway.
Ok...For the last time..Ace and Peter did this to themselves.. Regardless of whether anybody likes the current Kiss lineup or not, this is what we have.The original four will more than likely NEVER get back together again..They tried, and apparently the same shit that broke them up in the first place happened again..GET THE FUCK OVER IT...You want the original four? I suggest listening to the old albums again..
@billyfan8305 There's a smidge of truth in most accts of the break ups, some more than others.Did Ace and Peter screw themselves? YES.Are KISS better with them? YES
Do Singer and Thayer have any self respect donning the same make up and costumes? I doubt it.Could Peter realistically play to a level allowing him to rejoin KISS? No, even back in 96 his parts were simplified in order to allow him to play.All of the founding members of KISS hold a degree of blame in the break ups
@bruinsthebruinswhat - they're also not worrying about Ace stumbling into a gig hungover or drunk, unable to play at his best. Sure, he claims to be sober now, but Gene and Paul can't take any more chances. Tommy is a great guitarist! KISS will always rock.

I first saw KISS on Sept 6, 1976 in Toronto. More recently, I caught them at Casino Rama. Nothing hotter than a 63 year old man in a cod piece, I tell ya.
Let's be honest. The translation of this message...Ace: "Guys I miss you...I wanna play again...please call." And I hope they do. Ace is a gypsy...ok...so what. But he is a huge part of KISS and its sound, and I would love to see him there. Hope it comes true.

ACE FREHLEY IS THE SOUL OF KISS! TOMMY THAYER IS AN IMPOSTER! A FAKE PHONEY FRAUD! THE REAL FANS KNOW THIS! ITS ALL ABOUT ACE FREHLEY! GENE AND PAUL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF HIM.
Gene and Paul were the founding members after "Wicked Lester", Ace gave a guitar audition and got the gig, Peter criss answered an ad .in a paper.... KNOW YOUR KISSTORY PEOPLE!!!!!
@bkbniteowl You forgot to mention Ace designed the KISS logo and also designed the other members makeup in the beginning!...KNOW YOUR KISSTORY PEOPLE!!!!!
@bkbniteowl Ace didn't give an audition he received one and got the gig. Peter Criss didn't answer an ad, he placed one and Gene and Paul answered it. Know YOUR kisstory!!!!
@eyeh8u1 Ace walked into an audition right off of the street wearing a green sneaker and an orange one. The other guy wasn't even done yet and Ace plugs in and starts to play. After the guy leaves Gene and Paul tell "the asshole" "You had better be good!" Then Ace started to play and the rest is, Shall we say, Kisstory
Yes, we're all quite aware of that factoid, thanks. But, I was referring to a clip I had seen recently here at YouTube in which Paul and/or Gene recounted Frehley's audition and one of them actually mentioned Bob, not Bruce. Bob was apparently either "the other guy" who was auditioning when Ace walked in or he was "the other guy" who they were considering along with Frehley. Would make sense in light of his subbing-in for Frehley on side 4 of Alive II.
@bkbniteowl this is true, but they are the original members before they made it and that is what Kiss is for many of us baby boomers who shelled out millions for a farewell tour. Now we know it wasn't a farewell tour at all but a way to see what the public still thought of the old Kiss. The version of Kiss that is touring now is very popular, but in my opinion does not have the same spark or excitement.
@bkbniteowl Gos suck an egg. As far as I'm concerned, the band playing up their is NOT kiss, but rather the Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons project. I say we boycott all kiss products until the original 4 are back.
Ace and Peter were NOT "founding members" of the band. That was Gene and Paul. Ace and Peter were auditioned and got their spots...they were "original" members, not "founders". And Ace is a perfect example of someone who had the world in his hand but pissed it all away with drugs and booze. What's he doing now? Nothing, except wallowing in regret.
Tommy does Ace better than Ace......if the sound is there, the show can continue......it's always been the Gene and Paul show anyhow, and ask Peter, Eric Singer is one of the best drummers on the planet, and he knows how to sing his ass off...if Pete and Ace can handle the fact that in the KISS corporation, they will just be salaried employees.....Gene will hire them back to put maybe a smile of MY face......I want the original lineup, sure I do, but Pete and Ace are a bit delusional.....no way.
@RenewNme how can you say that bet you didn't say that when it was Paul gene Eric and Bruce. Plus they sound just as good kiss isn't kiss without Paul and gene but it is without Peter and ace. I bet you wouldn't say that about iron maiden considering only two members out of six are original
I will always love KISS but make no mistake, Ace and Peter were founding members and 50% responsible for KISS's unique sound. It saddens me that current members diss Ace and Peter.
Current members? I think you are referring to Paul and Gene.
The other guys, have way to much respect for Ace and Peter to say anything bad about them.
Also, with my experience of interviewing bands back in the 90s, people only see and hear what is allowed by the record company, they do not get to see and hear all the bad vibes that go on in these bands.
@carnivalofsouls2047 You said it well. What makes it worse is that Gene and Paul hire new guns to wear the famous makeup that Ace and Peter created. Like the fans wouldn't know any better. Tommy Thayer SUCKS...and so does Eric Singer...how those bastards look themself in the mirror every day is beyond me.
@carnivalofsouls2047 I was a Peter guy so I have nothing bad to say about him or Ace but they weren't 50% responsible. I don't know how you put an actual number on it but Gene and Paul ran the show and made the bulk of the decisions. Peter and Ace weren't along for the ride by any means but they didn't have the same vote as the two guys that managed the auditions and the choices for the first lineup.
@carnivalofsouls2047 - Ace and Peter dissed themselves with their substance abuse issues. This is widely known. Substance abuse, more often than not, causes sober people to carry on without the abuser. This is called "healthy." Rock on, KISS!
@carnivalofsouls2047 As far as I'm concerned, the band playing up their is NOT kiss, but rather the Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons project. I say we boycott all kiss products until the original 4 are back.
those new guys (singer & thayer) are just ashkenazi replacements, to fall in line with the jewish favoritism of hollywoodland 13, and to join Stanley Harvey Eisen & Chaim Weitz
the favoritism has become so blatantly obvious everywhere
I wonder if this was the same sort of thing taking place in pre Nazi Germany which drove them to a hatred of this favoritism of their financial oppressors?
WW3 is not too far off
Everything is going to happen exactly as it says it will
Facts are that sadly Peter and Ace both had some emotional issues that started surfacing during the tours. I was backstage enough to see what was going on and honestly, it was very sad because I held them all, especially ACE in such high regard. The booze is what destroyed Ace, not Ace himself. Peter's scene was more personal and should be kept how he wanted it. I will say that from day one from signing with Bill A., that no other band worked so hard.
Wow! He looks like shit! I'd cast Ace in a sequel to Street Trash if they ever get around to it. Still, he is one of the originals so I have to respect his former self.
@ WINFIELD1201 >>> I just left a message on Genes "Ace' rant saying more or less the same thing.
The Kiss that stands out in my memory is the 75 "Alive" costumes, music and intensity.. fucking ace was amazing. The emotion at the end of Black Diamond and that solo to this day choke me up.. and Gene and Paul fucking ride the guy.. rich yuppie dicks..
Without Peter and Ace.. its just corporate wank so Gene the capitalist pig can sell another lunch box..
Though Gene and Paul may have been overbearing, Ace and Peter fucked themselves over by being such drug addicts that led to their demise. Let me ask all of you who think otherwise. If you were in a band that wanted to achieve success and you had a couple of bandmates that kept fucking up your chances to become famous and MAKE A NICE LIVING, but were held back by substance abusers, WOULD YOU JUST LET IT ALL GO TO HELL??????? Makes me wonder if you really are worthy of being in a band.
@zunidoll2 PETER and ACE drinking and substance abuse was never an issue for egomaniacs Stanley and Simmons ; until ACE voiced his displeasure in the direction the band was going; in regards to DYNASTY and disco. All of a sudden all Simmons did was slander a friend and bandmate; behind his back at every turn, Theres a vid on YT KISS JAMMING- where Simmons shows just what a jealous asshole he really is; as ACE was prepared n knew the songs that they were picking; while Simmons couldn't keep up
@LOKISlog7 I think it was an issue since ACE disrespect Gene by dressing up as a nazi, being late or not showing up for rehersals - BEFORE Dynasty, all of the stuff he apparently said about Gene in Gordon Geberts book, referring to Gene and Paul as "The Jews...etc. Regardless, as I have asked, if you were in a band that had members who kept messing up and hindering your chances of being successful, would you allow them to ruin your chance via substance abuse? Please don't dodge this question.
@zunidoll2 They WERE successful until the crappy disco album Dynasty and The Elder. It;s amazing to me how Gene and Paul FORGET the controversy around the KISS logo and the SS and the Nazi connection. Jewish groups protested the logo and the group. Simmons vehemently denied any correlation because as everyone knows; that logo is his MONEY MAKER ( Then and Now) and he conveniently brushed aside any criticism for the all might DOLLAR. So what is it Gene? Are you only offended for book sales?
@LOKISlog7 Gene and Paul may be a bit hypocritical and if they were asked, I am sure they would beat around the bush and try to brush it off. All I am responding to is what I have heard and read. Dynasty was a cool album and did push them into another realm of music - which did backfire, yet I was made for loving you had returned and became a bit hit live. Please answer my question on having a disfunctional band member that ruined your success.
@cheapcape no, that electronica, techno crap suxx....as does most of today's "rap"....ah, for the days of run dmc, eric b and rakim, etc. why don't you add some old school, including whodini, afrika bambaata, etc. to your profile? that electronic crap is just rehashing the old school anyways, including james brown, parliament, sly and the family stone, etc. ask your elders, they will tell you the same thing....
sheesh.... title: more-metal and they play a DISCO song! what is the message here? i didn't know that a crappy disco song should be included with ANY title containing the word "metal'".....
@MisterRockLand yes, i know that. it is in fact disco....why kiss would do that in the first place boggles the mind. no way you can call that song "rock"
@ztztzyzy I know what disco was and the genre in general but do you? I also know the difference between rock and disco which apparently you do not. Try BeeGees or Donna Summer... that's disco! This is Pop Rock not Disco! You're just making yourself sound like a fool or else you're watching a different video than the rest of us.
@icandynetwork why don't you email gene and have him confirm the obvious, that this song is (ready for it) disco! i didn't say kiss was disco, genius, just the song....
@PinoyWeedMan i'm talking about the genre, you no comprehending jackoff. kiss did that song and it is a disco song, fag. look at MoremetalDotcom's response to my first comment. they got it, why can't you? oh yeah, you have shit for brains....
@PinoyWeedMan "....explainin (sic) u look more stupider arguing with someone...." (and just what are YOU doing, dumbfuck?) i'm trying to educate a moron, obviously. suck your own "bawls", homo
@PinoyWeedMan "your (sic) metal...." with each post you're (that's the correct way, idiot) just confirming that you are a complete.....MORON. with a stupid ass nic like pinoyweedman, i shouldn't be surprised.....rename yourself pinayweedfag, it is more fitting. learn some proper grammar, spelling, etc. before posting, you grade school dropout jackwad
@pittman517 really? listen to songs like, "the hustle", "staying alive", "car wash", etc and then this song. then, compare the music here to "detroit rock city", 100,000 years, "strutter", THOSE are rock songs and were NOT played in disco clubs while this song was a staple in those clubs when it came out. email gene and ask him yourself. look here: discomusic[dot]com/records-more/1383_0_2_0_C/
wow, I can say I agree with most of you but then again. you might want to do a little history before you say crap out of your ass. I love kiss and i love ace. but be clear on a few fact before you ignore the fact that ace fucked up just as much as they did.
No Gene, No KISS!??? Bull! Have you seen Spiro from ALIVE!? Toronto based tribute. They were awesome! and Spiro is and has been working with KISS forever. Gene is a mastermind, but I think Spiro could fill his shoes no problem. In fact, he has! Question is... who can do the Paul?
I was at Ace's Birthday Bash in 2002 and I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised to hear pleasant things from Ace towards his band-mates. It just goes to show that time can heal old wounds (if you allow it).
man sonic boom sounds like a disney movie sound track. ace made the whole kiss sound that every one knows them for. that would be the shit if they gave the fans what they really wanted and bring back ace a peter. eric and tommy are just a watered down imitation of the real things, but with gene and pauls talent kiss does well either way.
Gene & Paul only paid Ace & Peter 2 mil for whole reunion tour while they got 75 mil each!,that's why they started fucking up,they were getting ripped off,they weren't even paid as founding Kiss members,but as session muso's.In Gene's book he makes it sound like they were being money grabbing pricks not true-they got a shit contract and wanted more when they sore all the money that they G & P)
Gene and Paul are idiots for fireing him and Peter the new kiss is good but not as good as the classic era sonic boom has nothing on love gun or destroyer
@demonhunter1600 Well, neither did Psycho circus. No line up could touch love gun or Hotter thn hell because they were in their twenties when they did it. They're old men with no drive anymore, and peter and ace wouldn't change that.
@ryanwestslapdog They kicked ass in Detroit 2010. I think that people are living in fantasy land if they think all bands stay together and if a member leaves the band should just be over....I say damn that would suck! I like they line up they seem to work well together. And yes I liked Sonic Boom and I can not wait for Monster! However they should have their own make-up and costumes.
Isnt it amazing that ace doesnt have a bad word to say and yet paul and gene are just asshole haters. Ace credits them on anomaly and nothing on sonic boom. Gene and Paul act like children. The kiss sound was ace and they still cant fathom that. Aces solos were magic and tommy just rips off ace all the time
@MixxMasterKid True Paul has never said anything about Ace or Peter, Gene has, in face Gene has gone so far as to discuss Vinnie issues which we didn't really need to know . I never liked Gene from the beginning and he has yet to prove me wrong!!!!
@WINFIELD120 I wouldn't say Tommy's a complete Ace ripoff. He's a talented musician and fits the bill as KISS's lead guitarist well. I do agree with you about Gene and Paul though. As successful as KISS is, G&P need to keep their mouths shut about Ace and Peter. It's unfortunate how the reunion tours fizzled, but Ace and Peter's contributions to KISS are owed in volumes. Without Ace and Peter, Gene and Paul would be stuck in NYC with dead end jobs.
@Astrotrain52 Why would you say Tommy's not a complete ripoff? He looks like him, plays the same guitar as him, uses the exact same playing style as him, even his solos like when he does that Alive solo from She. I've seen tirbute bands that were more original. They did some of their own unique stuff when it came to the solos and added their own twists. No, Tommy Thayer is such an Ace ripoff that many people think he IS Ace. He's as bad a ripoff as you'll ever see.

@WINFIELD120 Nah, Paul loves Ace. Ace and Paul have always been cool. It's Gene. Ace gets along with everyone; but Gene is just a dick; control freak.
@WINFIELD120 Right, they used Ace for his talent. Gene has never cared about the music. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He did the music thing 'for you' to build up his KISS army. His army of followers... that only followed because one man spoke truth with a guitar...
Ace was used while the others went on to character assasinate the truth and hide behind a flame shield of anti-semitism and drugs while spewing much more dangerous propaganda and having access to any media outlet they want.
Man, Ace is the fuckin Man, The Man from space is without a doubt ACE. he got that name, cuz no matter what he could always hook you up. One of the greatest guitarists of all time, and a hell of a showman. ACE Rocks!
wow. his face is telling a story of lot of alcohol and drugs.

ACE FREHLEY IS THE SOUL OF KISS! TOMMY THAYER IS AN IMPOSTER! A FAKE PHONEY FRAUD! THE REAL FANS KNOW THIS! ITS ALL ABOUT ACE FREHLEY! GENE AND PAUL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF HIM.

@eyeh8u1 Ace walked into an audition right off of the street wearing a green sneaker and an orange one. The other guy wasn't even done yet and Ace plugs in and starts to play. After the guy leaves Gene and Paul tell "the asshole" "You had better be good!" Then Ace started to play and the rest is, Shall we say, Kisstory

@steve51704000
Yes, we're all quite aware of that factoid, thanks. But, I was referring to a clip I had seen recently here at YouTube in which Paul and/or Gene recounted Frehley's audition and one of them actually mentioned Bob, not Bruce. Bob was apparently either "the other guy" who was auditioning when Ace walked in or he was "the other guy" who they were considering along with Frehley. Would make sense in light of his subbing-in for Frehley on side 4 of Alive II.

@bkbniteowl this is true, but they are the original members before they made it and that is what Kiss is for many of us baby boomers who shelled out millions for a farewell tour. Now we know it wasn't a farewell tour at all but a way to see what the public still thought of the old Kiss. The version of Kiss that is touring now is very popular, but in my opinion does not have the same spark or excitement.

Ace and Peter were NOT "founding members" of the band. That was Gene and Paul. Ace and Peter were auditioned and got their spots...they were "original" members, not "founders". And Ace is a perfect example of someone who had the world in his hand but pissed it all away with drugs and booze. What's he doing now? Nothing, except wallowing in regret.

@carnivalofsouls2047 I was a Peter guy so I have nothing bad to say about him or Ace but they weren't 50% responsible. I don't know how you put an actual number on it but Gene and Paul ran the show and made the bulk of the decisions. Peter and Ace weren't along for the ride by any means but they didn't have the same vote as the two guys that managed the auditions and the choices for the first lineup.

@carnivalofsouls2047 - Ace and Peter dissed themselves with their substance abuse issues. This is widely known. Substance abuse, more often than not, causes sober people to carry on without the abuser. This is called "healthy." Rock on, KISS!

Facts are that sadly Peter and Ace both had some emotional issues that started surfacing during the tours. I was backstage enough to see what was going on and honestly, it was very sad because I held them all, especially ACE in such high regard. The booze is what destroyed Ace, not Ace himself. Peter's scene was more personal and should be kept how he wanted it. I will say that from day one from signing with Bill A., that no other band worked so hard.

Though Gene and Paul may have been overbearing, Ace and Peter fucked themselves over by being such drug addicts that led to their demise. Let me ask all of you who think otherwise. If you were in a band that wanted to achieve success and you had a couple of bandmates that kept fucking up your chances to become famous and MAKE A NICE LIVING, but were held back by substance abusers, WOULD YOU JUST LET IT ALL GO TO HELL??????? Makes me wonder if you really are worthy of being in a band.
zunidoll2 4 months ago
@zunidoll2 PETER and ACE drinking and substance abuse was never an issue for egomaniacs Stanley and Simmons ; until ACE voiced his displeasure in the direction the band was going; in regards to DYNASTY and disco. All of a sudden all Simmons did was slander a friend and bandmate; behind his back at every turn, Theres a vid on YT KISS JAMMING- where Simmons shows just what a jealous asshole he really is; as ACE was prepared n knew the songs that they were picking; while Simmons couldn't keep up
LOKISlog7 4 months ago
@LOKISlog7 I think it was an issue since ACE disrespect Gene by dressing up as a nazi, being late or not showing up for rehersals - BEFORE Dynasty, all of the stuff he apparently said about Gene in Gordon Geberts book, referring to Gene and Paul as "The Jews...etc. Regardless, as I have asked, if you were in a band that had members who kept messing up and hindering your chances of being successful, would you allow them to ruin your chance via substance abuse? Please don't dodge this question.
zunidoll2 4 months ago
@zunidoll2 They WERE successful until the crappy disco album Dynasty and The Elder. It;s amazing to me how Gene and Paul FORGET the controversy around the KISS logo and the SS and the Nazi connection. Jewish groups protested the logo and the group. Simmons vehemently denied any correlation because as everyone knows; that logo is his MONEY MAKER ( Then and Now) and he conveniently brushed aside any criticism for the all might DOLLAR. So what is it Gene? Are you only offended for book sales?
LOKISlog7 4 months ago
@LOKISlog7 Gene and Paul may be a bit hypocritical and if they were asked, I am sure they would beat around the bush and try to brush it off. All I am responding to is what I have heard and read. Dynasty was a cool album and did push them into another realm of music - which did backfire, yet I was made for loving you had returned and became a bit hit live. Please answer my question on having a disfunctional band member that ruined your success.

@WINFIELD120 I wouldn't say Tommy's a complete Ace ripoff. He's a talented musician and fits the bill as KISS's lead guitarist well. I do agree with you about Gene and Paul though. As successful as KISS is, G&P need to keep their mouths shut about Ace and Peter. It's unfortunate how the reunion tours fizzled, but Ace and Peter's contributions to KISS are owed in volumes. Without Ace and Peter, Gene and Paul would be stuck in NYC with dead end jobs.

@Astrotrain52 Why would you say Tommy's not a complete ripoff? He looks like him, plays the same guitar as him, uses the exact same playing style as him, even his solos like when he does that Alive solo from She. I've seen tirbute bands that were more original. They did some of their own unique stuff when it came to the solos and added their own twists. No, Tommy Thayer is such an Ace ripoff that many people think he IS Ace. He's as bad a ripoff as you'll ever see.

Ace was used while the others went on to character assasinate the truth and hide behind a flame shield of anti-semitism and drugs while spewing much more dangerous propaganda and having access to any media outlet they want.
