Guitar solo Tommy Thayer - Kiss Alive 35 Arrow Rock Nijmegen

[plasticapple7]

The more I watch the "fake Ace" the more pissed off I get! The real Ace can do more with one note than this clown could do with a thoudand notes. What a bunch of bullshit.

[plasticapple7]

Hey look everyone, a fake Ace and a fake Peter!!! Good thinking Gene and Paul.

[GAYTALLICA]

Fake Ace sucks!!!! what a joke kiss became after 1979

[minefielddestruction]

go on tommy rock that crowd

and screw all these dudes who are so far up ace's ass thay can't accept a brilliant guitarist when thay hear one

[notnilccm]

You would think that Paul and Gene would find a smokin hot guitarist.  I simply must believe that there is more than meets the eye goin on here.

[extremehockeyfan]

i wonder if he shoots rockets when he practises the guitar at home...

[RockGuitarDave]

i wish people would stop compairing tommy to ace, if it wasnt for tommy there would be no kiss

[MrMarcoisgod]

@RockGuitarDave kiss has had vinnie vincent,bruce kulick,and mark st.john.as long as gene and paul want to keep kiss going they will through anyone in.to be fair iam bias toward ace and because to me he was the sound of kiss and he will always be the best in my eyes.i wish gene would let ace maybe play in a few shows to give the fans a special show since hes sober and still has the skills to play guitar.

[Luukablee]

well

no offence tommy, but this sucks, its not a awesome guitar solo

but you rocked @ the sonic boom tour with you solo!

[FreeMTrider]

This guy should be paying some big $ to the crowd for subjecting them to this noise. Terrible solo not even worth the word mediocre.

[Beetlejules35]

au lieu de critiquer Tommy Thayer essayer de jouer aussi bien que lui si vous êtes si malin poster votre vidéo sur youtube et soyez irréprochable car je ne vous raterais pas.

[johnatowers]

really crap. ha ha ha ha.....



[sderki90]

ACE THE BEST

[tomcat13claws]

I know everyone wants Ace back, I do too, but I think Tommy sounds fine.

[CynicalSavior]

I don't give a shit what anyone says. This solo is fucking garbage. Tommy is a decent player but no matter how good he ever is or will be technically, this is still just like watching a Tribute band... only this Tribute band has a lot of money to spend on staging and effects.

[teamamericago]

Great distortion kiss is # 1

[DavidVIIIcool]

This is complete trash

[FartyMann]

ok. not the best solo

but why does peoplle hate so much on tommy?

[eiffel0108]

@FartyMann Because he's seen as a noob to the classic line up. Personally I think he plays alright, but this wasn't the best solo in the world, especially at 0:32 where it sounds like he's struggling for ideas.

[TheMetroidfanboy]

@FartyMann we want back Ace Frehley

[AgeofOblivian]

I think Paul Stanley plays better than Tommy on this one.

[Aku666Torres]

Okay, trying to be like Ace is one thing and ain't gonna happen.. but I draw the line when he comes onto Yngwie's territory at 2:29...Shame.

[CynicalSavior]

@Aku666Torres

Because he's playing classical riffs from songs? Ace used to do that too. I don't think Yngwie's got a copyright on that. Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that Tommy is a hack with no original ideas.

[xunholyxbiaatchx]

Tommy's alright, but he'll never be Ace :/

[AceOfHeart2012]

I'm sorry. It's just not the same. It's like when The Three Stooges brought out Joe Besser to replace Curly and Shemp. Or when Bewitched changed Darren's on us thinking we wouldn't catch that switch-a-roo. Tommy's good but he ain't Ace. Gene and Paul don't have enough money to make me sell my soul like that. This is just fucking creepy!

[JonDoe70]

Tommy Thayer is just a wannabe ACE, Tommy Thayer couldn't even hold Ace's pick not alone play anything near the way Ace plays. Out of the five guitar players in total Kiss had, To me Tommy Thayer comes in dead last. The order I believe they are ranked, # 5 - Tommy Thayer, # 4 - Mark St. John, # 3 - Vinnie Vincent, # 2 - Bruce Kulick and without a doubt the # 1 is ACE FREHLEY!!!!!!!!!

And if Kiss still want to continue all farewell tours then they will do it out the Real ACE in the DECK.

[FartyMann]

@JonDoe70 dude

if you hate so much on tommy why do you watch vids of him?

[smittybang]

is he on drugs or something?

[TheHappynot]

What a ripoff why not I just get my neighbor to dress up like Ace instead of paying a ton of money, pretty much the same thing.

[jigglediggle29]

This is disgusting...he can't even play an own solo - Ace Frehley light...hahahaaa, what the fu**. But i think he has to do what Paul an Gene want him to do. This Muppet-Show is more than a joke, i don't understand why people want to see this. Stanley and Simmons are talking of the new Kiss - but where is the new Kiss? I can see a cover-band but not a new Kiss

[RichPyke]

@jigglediggle29 Each to their own but "new KISS" seem to be getting reviews of "the best they have ever been". Ace (& Peter) left, this happened 30 years ago and again 10 years ago (give or take a few years)... old shit. If you dislike KISS' new stuff, their new live show, their new album, then it's simple, step aside - they are continuing on with great sucess regardless of what you think... Tommy is faultless on this current tour, that's more than could ever be said about Ace...

[shockme25159]

@RichPyke I agree 100%

[jimiele]

Is music about the popularity or the talent

[jimiele]

Tommy should play his own solo, and Gene being the greatest bass player ever is very disagreeable. He is not much compared to Johnny Entwhistle from the who and Flea and more

[benten613]

dont anyone dare blame gene simmons, he is the best bass player ever, and has stuck with kiss since the beginning

[megayahabibi]

@benten613 ,,,and fucked over the other 5 members!

[deerhunter45628]

I grew up in the mid 70's standing in front of my mirror pretending to be Ace..I dressed as Ace on halloween...I dreamed of someday being Ace (goofy kid)...I bet Tommy did the same thing when he was a kid. Only he actually grew up and did it. Anyone who says they wouldn't have taken this gig is a fucking liar. I am not happy with the arrangement, but don't blame Tommy for living out his dream.....blame Gene & Paul.

[brulldozer]

@deerhunter45628 finally, somebody with a fully working brain!!!!i did not grow up in the 70s, but fif my fair share of ace in my bedroom pretending playing MOR.. still goin to see them next month anyway though hehe

[neano62]

Its hard to outplay ACE! Tommy Thayer DOES NOT SUCK! Eric Singer kicks Peter Criss's butt! But Peter Crisscola, is a much better singer than he is a Drummer! Its just Very Hard to top one of the Top 5 Guitarest ever to pick up a Les Paul!

[finkan3838]

the best of alll....Tommy is inspired by ace, so he is trying to do little more like ace solos

[Number1StarsFan]

Tommy is there to impersonate (or at least give his spin on) Ace. My first Kiss show was in a gymnasium in Nov '75 and I've played the songs for years. Tommy did a great tribute to Space Ace. Good show!

[thebecomann]

This guy must give Gene hummers. I'm no pro, but I've been playin' since ALIVE! came out and I can kick this wanna be's ass off the stage! Nothing like pretending to Ace to collect a check. Wasn't this guy runnin' around getting Happy Meals for the band?

Anyway you look at it, KISS without Ace and Peter is just another tribute band. Gene and Paul could never make it as a solo act, but Ace is bad ass! Catch his show if you can.

[hoodeehoo1]

@thebecomann hummer? There are kids on here predator

[70guppy]

Really...many of you say Tommy sucks? I saw them in Nashville last night...and he outplays Ace...no doubt about it! He actually sounds a hell of a lot more like Ace than Ace does...on Shock me. I have been a huge KISS fan since the 70's and there is no doubt about it...Tommy and Eric Singer are better musicians.

[mgirardi1]

I totally agree with you.

[thegame279]

Fake SPACEMAN!!!!!!! and also fake CATMAN!!!!

[dave55fire]

i saw tommy last night ..he fuckin rocked!! ace is too drugged out to do anything

[finkan3838]

that's true...

[kennykanowski]

pure shit!!!!!!!!

[axlfied123]

i heard kiss were holding auditions for lead guitar at the general dollar by my house lol. then they found this guy at wal mart across the street learning on a first act guitar lol

[armann500]

he's a good puppet isn't he ?

thank god for ace

TOMMY SUCKS!!!!!

[jnorton1]

I hope this is a joke. Tommy Thayer is pooping all over the stage here. The Starchild is in danger of slipping in Tommy's poopy poop.

[ten8goa]

I am not terribly impressed,

[Screwbicon]

About the only thing Tommy "Fake Ace" Thayer doesn't rip off is the smoking Les Paul...  Ace Frehley was, is and always will be the man!!!!

[Daddybopper]

KISS is no longer performing. 2 original members is not KISS. Just like Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr cant be the Beatles alone. They were the greatest. But The Beatles are no longer. KISS has not had a hit song for over a quarter of a century. That is right after Peter and Ace left. That is not Ace or Peter onstage. They are impostors wearing the original members make up! Gene and Paul are just milking the gravy train till there is no more stupid collectibles.

[rocknroll4life399]

who care fuck you they still payed the most kick ass show ive ever seen just because ace isnt able to play doesnt mean they should give it up lets see you try to play a rock concert at the age of 60 dumb fuck

[Daddybopper]

Go back to school and learn punctuation, along with how to put a sentence together. That way people can understand what you are saying, before you make a stupid childish remark. Read what you wrote, You dumb fuck! Besides, this is my personal opinion, Who ever doesn't like it, They can go fuck them selves. So, FUCK YOU! If you cant understand this, I will have a 5 year old translate for you.

[malcolmcox]

so explain pyscho circus, lick it up, animalize, asylum, crazy nights, hot in the shade (with forever on it, i mean come on that song is classic.), oh and not to mention REVENGE, one of my favorite KISS albums with God Gave Rock N Roll To You, Spit, Unholy, Take it Off AND I Just Wanna. I'd say theres plenty of hit songs on those albums.

[Rossco602]

anyone who sasys tommy is rubbish is a fool

[paulgrs]

how bout he comes up with his own shit, what a novel concept. oh thats right the corporation wont let him/, cant blame him he is just an employee

[rock4kiss]

I honestly think Ace put more feel to it! Like soul in it as for Tommy he plays GREAT! I don't care that hes in Aces makeup I just wish hed come up with his own stage moves and his own solo!

[matthew427x]

@rock4kiss they pay Tommy to play like Ace

[rock4kiss]

@matthew427x thats so unoriginal :/

thats shadowing over the members in the past, Tommy should atleast headbang something hat dont make him to Ace like

[steveoz49]

people that brag on Ace are just living in a fantasy world... keep in mind that Bob Kulick did the majority of the guitar solos FOR Ace.

I am not a huge fan of Thayer (I am a Bruce Kulick fan), but he serves their purpose. Kiss best musicians are Bruce, Eric Carr and Eric Singer.... Paul has a great voice and Gene is Gene... a gimick.

[XxViDixX]

Thayer sucks. so did vinny vincent nd bruce nd eric carr. eric singer was okay. this isnt kiss. kiss is paul, gene, ace, nd peter. ANDDD this solo is an embarrassment. -_-

[EvilNoize]

I hate who says that Ace is bettere than Tommy, Ace was a legend, a carismatic Rock Star, but i Think Tommy is a better player

[swishersweets2008]

tommy thayer is no better then any average joe who sits on youtube recording themselves playing kiss songs and ace licks. Big differences between ace and tommy is ace has more speed and can do the bends and the vibrato alot better. Thayer only good quality is he isnt drunk.

[demonhunter1600]

no no no ace is better

[gurraaaaa]

i miss ace

[RossMcCr]

fake ace

[PeterStjohn1996]

TOMMYS A LEGEND

[ajaxrules1975]

Horrible solo. Too much a " i have to play a Ace solo " kind of solo. Play your own solo and amaze us.

[swishersweets2008]

im taking you never seen him play in black and blue, amazement will never come. just dissapointment.

[KISSVinnieVincent]

Tommy Rocks

[scoobysnack105]

this solo was brilliant live,

i saw this and it was fantastic

he has better ones but woah it was great :)

[heavymetal4ever90]

he aint ace but he is good enough

[superdbzfan8311]

omg hes fucking stupid he had troubles shooting the pyrotechniques and this solo is a Shit! Im not that good and i could do something better!!!

Waste of Time..

[astatslpvids]

The rockets fire exactly when they're supposed to...? There's the "charging up" noise, and then the rockets fire. That's how it's always been, with Ace or Tommy. Furthermore, even if he did have trouble, Ace's rocket guitar (as well as the smoking guitar) fucked up on him all the time too.

[cliffiez]

I don't even know why anyone would go see this shitty band anymore....there are Kisss cover bands that play the music better than these old posers

[dartheyebrow1970]

holy crap tht sucked ace does it awesome tommy couldnt do it to save his life he is TERRIBLE

[Namath1965]

For the love of God, BRING ACE BACK!!

[clevelandrockscity]

Hell they would be better off bringing in a monkey to play lead guitar. Tommy Thayer sucks end of story

[astatslpvids]

I guess Jimi Hendrix was horrible too then, huh?

[astatslpvids]

Well, he pretty much is in one now, with how content Gene and Paul seem to be with trying to live in the 70s and play the same songs over and over. Thankfully they're finally doing a new album though, so they can kind of move away from that...I hope.

[JPGR66]

Tommy is in the best kiss tribute band around, they are called "KISS".

[lorreke2]

I wanna fart in genes face Why the fuck can't tommy play his own solo.

[albol08]

I really don't have any thing against Tommy Thayer himself, i just don't get the make-up,there's no reason for them to be wearing the make-up if ace and peter is not with them. God Sakes take the make-up OFF!

[94pare94]

tommy 4ever he is a lead guitar

ace is good but tommy is the best

[Necramoniumvideo]

You probably never saw Ace playing in his prime huh..

[Asterix733]

tommy is the shit : D

[SFFRET]

to all kiss fans this was on the kiss online web site ACE FREHLEY RULES

KISS ROCKS SOLD OUT CROWD

Simmons, aka "Demon," Paul "Starchild" Stanley, Tommy "Spaceman" Thayer and Eric "the Cat" Singer played two sets featuring much of their material from the "Alive!" album, before a charged-up crowd on the chilly night of Aug. 30 at Harveys Outdoor Arena.

[acefrehleygrl]

BOOOOO TOMMY  Ace is the real deal

[gismwism]

If you're going to put the guitar behind your head then at least do it while playing something more complicated than a beginner guitarist could play. Thayer is a bad joke.

[mineiroKISS89]

hey guys look for BRUCE guitar solo in Budokan 1988 that is a guitar solo

[astra1968]

please, let him play his own solo.

[guitarman2793]

just let him play his own solo im sure it wud blow away the shit hes playin now hes playing aces solo note for not its annoying

[swishersweets2008]

that is not ace's solo note for note. that is just 4 licks and a hammer on and annoying bends with reverb. ace's solo is far better. this is just garbage.

[gjrocks]

this was horrible, i left the concert halfway this solo cause i could not take the shit guitarplaying anymore, whitesnake kicks their asses badly

[shkeef]

i have to say ppl dont cut him enough slack, hes the best ace impersonator there is, and that something to be proud of in itself, ace couldnt play it behind his fat head in a million years, true? hes not allowed to do anything that ace wouldnt do, paul and gene have both him and eric on a short leash

[swishersweets2008]

if he's the best ace imposter there is then they obviously didnt look hard to find one.

[Accept91]

That was great!

[kizzarvid]

Cool!!!! Tommy rules!!!!!

[ACEDIAMOND666]

tommy should not do a solo.

this solo sucks ass.

even worse than paul's solo on "animalize: live uncensored"

[swishersweets2008]

agreed!

[WaaWaaWaaa]

Clapton?

Never heard of the guy...

"HO HO!! Tears R Fallin...."

Classic.

KISS Rules ALL, but Tommy is just not that great.

Always was average, since Black-N-Blue.

[WaaWaaWaaa]

This is good playing????

You guys are nuts.

He sounds worse than Ace!

[lexaah]

..... now go back to clapton will ya? i think he's calling for his asslicker.

[kissa223]

Tommy is the best gitarist ever

[FatManBatman]

saying tommy sucks is pretty sad at least he can play

ahh when i wrote that he messed up lol

[swishersweets2008]

you call that guitar playing?

[waterbase67]

wahahaha

[WaaWaaWaaa]

Wow, Tommy can't even play any more!! That was pretty horrible.

Grandpa Thayer. Not good...

Time is not kind.

[108377]

fuck you

[lucy1981]

dikke shit!

[steenvdn]

Het was absoluut top! dank voor de post
