Ace Frehley's Shock me guitar solo is regarded as one of the most influential peace of music ever put on vinyl . Ace was instrumental in KISS being the number One Live Act in the history of Rock & Roll .
Hmm...this is number 50 on Guitar World's Greatest Solos. I know I'm gonna get smacked-down by some KISS fans, but this solo just sounds like a bad Van Halen impersonation.
@SpaceAceify You're right, but it's a lot closer than I thought: Alive II was recorded Aug/Sept 1977 and released 10/14/77. Van Halen was recorded Sept/Oct 1977 and released 2/10/78.

When this album came out. Kiss was everywhere. Tv, every magazine on the news stands. They were everywhere except the radio? And still this album was the biggest thing at the time. This is kiss at its best.
Paul left as did Peter 'Criss' did, gene and paul said that's it, cool tunes live though, producers cared and kicked ass...ace could play nice solos, smooth
brings back good and bad memories?

sooo true.when they fired ace and pete they lost two really great voices
leiefilm 2 years ago
They didn't fire ace, he left because he didn't like where the band was going (The Elder).
The6thSimpson 2 years ago
well they never can seem to agree on that.
they claim he got fired (sometimes)and he says he left.Eider way it dosen't matter they still suck.
havn't heard a half good song from them in ages.
Think aces new solo album was shit and so was pauls new solo album..
leiefilm 2 years ago
i think sonic boom had a couple of good songs, all for the glory was pretty good.
The6thSimpson 2 years ago
Didn't liek it at all. almost doubt they had been in studio.sounded very much like they just rewrote some of the older song.
besides gene admiteted it was put together pretty fast,caus they got a good deal with wall mart
leiefilm 2 years ago
fair enough, did you like anomaly?
The6thSimpson 2 years ago
naah was a bit disapointed.heard so much great things about it.But didn't live up to the expectations.
But i like a good deal of ace's old kiss songs
