Tommy may be a nice guy and a good guitar player, but Ace is the real deal and everyone should know it. As a fan, I'm sorry that KISS has become a parody of itself - half KISS, half KISS tribute band. If KISS was to go on without Ace and Peter, Tommy and Eric would be much better off with their own characters. I don't think anyone should put on Ace's and Peter's makeups and costumes on to do what they should be doing. It's happening solely for commercial reasons, mainly because of merchandise.
@TinManSixtySix how many decades have you felt this way ...get with the times ..kiss is bringing in millions of new young fans..were you excited about kiss when you were a kid ? or just a bitter person
@HackerGuitarist I don't have a problem getting with the times, dude. I listen to a lot of current stuff other than KISS, btw. Whether or not zombie KISS is bringing new fans, I just don't care much about. Again I'm sorry new fans won't be getting the real deal, like I did in my own time, but I'm not bitter about it - on the contrary, I'm genuinely proud and glad I was lucky enough. I was excited and still am about the four geniouses who put it all together - that was great, that was true!!!
tommy is ace,if he praciticed and took his playing to the level it should have been.he is VERY WORTHY OF THAT MAKE-UP and being in "THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD"
I have been a Kiss fan for longer than i can remember (43 now) and i have spent countless hours learning Ace's licks and stuff in my room while younger....
What i want to say is that i think Tommy Thayer is doing an outstanding job in Kiss as doing Ace's parts, man it even sounds better than original licks done by Ace more often than not.
And listening to Sonic Boom, one can tell the man is hired to do just that, play like Ace used to play in his prime years.
You're just a little too serious. Musical workers produce a product using tools. Manufacturers of these tools naturally want prominent musicians using their tools. How's that being a 'company whore?' Celebrity endorsements are natural and good--you're kind of a dork.
Also, one additonal comment. Kiss wouldn't be able to pull this off if people settled for disrespect. I can see this worldwide that the world is a colder place. No one cares whats disrespectful to anyone anymore. scary.
Yeah one more thing, too. Actually a question...Is it 2 or 3 Kiss non-live-or-compilation albums that actually have the same people both performing, and depicted on the CD cover? At least l know Sonic Boom is one of them.
What the hell is so f**king wrong with Tommy wearing the Spaceman makeup and Eric wearing the Cat makeup? They're keeping KISS..KISS! All you pricks do is bitch-bitch-bitch-moan-moan-moan-complain-complain-complain like a bunch of neurotic post-menopausal chickens!! Tommy is a class act and you morons are a bunch of genetically deficient f-tards!
so what if..... someone replace gene and paul its all the same right ? class ass so whos going to be there when they are inducted in to the hall of fame your the moron
I love Ace, but have to face reality, he's not coming back. Enough bashing of Tommy. It's not his fault and I think he is a very good guitarist himself. Kudos for him to be able to work with Gene for this long!
Come on guys give Tommy a break! Ace is not comming back!! I do think that it is disrespectfull to Ace, that Tommy took over his make-up... Ace IS the Spaceman! But Tommy is a great guitarist and performer! Deal with it! Miss ya Ace!! Rock on KISS
yessim, i couldn't agree more with you. i'm still waiting for the Epiphone Tommy Thayer signature guitar, lol...with Ace's face, i mean tommy face on the headstock...lol
Gibson would never sell out a Ace Frehley signature because of his reputation. And I say that I have nothing against Ace Frehley. He was a great guitarrist but I have never seen the words "Ace" and "dignity" together, I think Tommy is the best man to replace Ace.
with all due respect, it's only about Ace's guitar playing and what he has done for the music world. TT may be the best person to replace Ace, but then let him be Tommy and not Ace.
Tommy Thayer is a great guitarist and a very, very kind and great guy! I hate those that say he's just a clone putting on Ace's makeup etc. Tommy is the best man to replace Ace! There's nothing bad about Tommy at all.
it's not about Tommy as a person, and i understand that it's not his fault. It's about loving what Kiss used to be which to me doesn't exist without Ace Frehley.
TOMMY THAYER : BEAUTIFUL BOY
