Thommy should be ashamed and embarrassed of himself for thinking he can fool everyone with his phony Impersonation of Ace,his not Ace,that's not his costume or makeup and cannot come even close to playing like Ace.
That's not Tommy's fault. He is a musician HIRED by Gene and Paul to play the way THEY want him to play, which is Ace's style. I like Ace I also like Tommy. GO TOMMY GO TOMMY GO TOMMY!!!!!!
Okay, I'm new to the world of KISS appreciation, but regarding the controversy about Tommy all can say is this - it sounds like the guy can play the fuck out the guitar to me.
Boring solo...and to tab it? Just get a 'my first pentatonic' lick book and it will have that...He plays the songs very well in KISS but he does sound a LOT like Ace, kinda like the new singer in Journey sounding like Steve Perry. Would be cool if they had their own voice...Anyway, KISS rock...Must have been a hell of a show...the set list looks awesome...
I am surprised no one has mentioned that the vocalizing in this version is closer to the Wicked Lester version than the Kiss version. And you all call yourself true Kiss fans???? Come on now. Fair weather fans is more like it. HAHAHAHA. Just kidding, but this IS closer,. vocal wise, to the Wicked Lester version.
What's there not to get with having an issue with Tommy? My BIG problem with him is; *Ace Frehley *Vinnie Vincent *Mark St. John *Bruce Kulick *Eric Singer *Eric Carr *Paul Stanley * Peter Criss & * Gene Simmons ALL OF THEM have/had there own style musically on there instruments. But Tommy mimics Ace's solos WITHOUT making them into his own as Vinnie, Mark & Bruce did. If you *LOVE* Tommy you should want for him to be his own. But he started in a cover band mimicking Ace and still does.
@LayItPlayItDown Paul and Gene tell Tommy to mimic Ace's solos. they were ganna do that to Eric Singer. thats why like the first 4 years of touring they only let him use on bass drum. and Paul and Gene are smart for making Tommy play Ace's solos. because everytime you watch videos on Vinnie Vincent playing Calling Dr. Love or Bruce Kulick playing Love Gun you always see comments saying Ace's solos were better. Tommy gives the exact solos and people rip on him. Tommy is the shit, enough said.
but yet, he's the one making millions of dollars to play guitar for the greatest band in the world....and you're not, quit being a jealous child and just be happy that the quality of the band is still as high as it is.
unbelieveble that people are bitching about tommy, comon, if tomym was ace, and tommy left KISS and ace was the replacement you would bash on Ace -.-"
@Luukablee No! I would not \ and have NEVER bashed ACE! As far as avoiding Thayer vids; I try to avoid them like the plague; but so many of you thayer neophytes keep posting only them.
@LOKISlog7 yes you would. its humanity, we always need something to hate on, ok, tommy is not the real ace blablabla but we arent getting any closer to them? and comon, nobody wants to see kiss with starchild,demon, dogman and the hawk, comon dude
@Luukablee Im going to finish this friendly debate by pointing out that one of the most popular "characters: in KISS was........... The FOX created by the late Eric Carr (RIP) He didnt resort to ripping off Peters onstage persona. Its clear you are a fan of Thayers; thats your prerogative. I think its sad, shameful, and an outrage.
come on, shure, thayer is a damned good guitar player, but making him to wear aces makeup is an insult! at least you have to give him his own personality...everyone knows that there is just one space man
this could be the biggest fraud hack in music history! hey thayer how does simmons ass taste! it must really suck knowing you will always be thought of as the loser pretending to be a legend!
I usually will defend Tommy Thayer being in Space Ace make up but I don't get why he has to copy the Ace solo. That makes this version of KISS seem like a "tribute band" rather than a continuation of the original band.
the whole playing behind his head without messing up was impressive. Tommy already won my approval with Sonic Boom, but he's developing his own thing for the stage. He really is an awesome guitar player.
what's up with the singing? they used to sing so awesome!! but at least what i've seen of them in 2009 they haven't bin singing that great.. =/ still my favourite band of all time! can't wait to finally go to concert with them.. just hope that they'll sing like they use to i'm not talking about 1980 or something they have gotten old but i mean 2008 they sang really good
Pretty damn cool, actually... I just wish Tommy would come up with his own original material, that's all. Otherwise, he's growing on me... He showed some heart here, imo. Usually all I see is a poser going through the motions. This was better. 4 stars
can someone tell me why Gene is singing here? he's singing at Rock N' Roll all night long too, he is doing a great job but i like paul stanley better!
No problem :D It will be awesome! I saw them here in Toronto, Canada in October and it was the greatest night of my life (even tho im only 16 lol) but you'll love it.
KISS me arruinó todos los conciertos, no creo que pueda haber mejores conciertos que estos
