Are you really sure about that? Because everytime they ask Ace about the possibility of a 2nd reunion tour he just says that he's not interested. It also seemed in his interviews like he was very anxious to leave KISS and get his solo group back together. Whatever the case, KISS is mediocre without him. And I think Tommy Thayer in Ace's makeup is a complete disgrace. I'll never lose that grudge and I don't care how old this issue is. Take care.
The breaking point came when Kiss was going to open for Aerosmith and Ace got pissed off because he felt Kiss was bigger than them and had no business being an opening act for ANYBODY. Gene and Paul basically told him to either deal with it or hit the road and in turn, Ace told them to go fuck themselves and quit. Can't say I blame Ace for feeling the way he did.
at 1:20 seconds Ace says "turn the guitar up" what he shoulda said was "turn the guitar off". That guitar solo is one of the absolute worst I ever heard - EVER! Close Encounters WTF? That sucked when everybody did it when the movie came out THIRTY friggin' years ago! God-awful Jingle Bells, my ten year old nephew plays better guitar than that! Ace, go back to drinking or whatever the f#ck you're on! Anybody that thinks that shit rocks is friggin' tone deaf. Listen to real guitar masters. Ace SUX
no i don't but y the fuck come on to a video that you hate it just doesn't make sense to me to b honest i was disappointed by this performance but if u hate him in the first place y watch him???
nice to hear guys still keeping it rough and raw :) I remember when I did guitar lessons many many years ago! they said the goal was to play like Steve Vai one day? hell no!! I said 'I rather sound like a 70's guitar player' sod that robot speed crap that sounds stale :) I love the style heard in this vid :)
I owe Ace Frehley and apology. After viewing this I wrote a not so favorable review. Not too long after I saw Ace's show in San Fran 3/21/08, he was unbelievable, and his playing was spot on. He looked great, played great, and his band sounded great as well. With sobriety and a renewed attitude he has redemed himself and is playing better than I have ever seen him. If you are an Ace and/or Kiss fan you must not miss this show. This is the Ace we love. Great set list as well. -DD
gee look at ace now from a good guitarist to this. Everyone bags Tommy Thayer when he plays better than Ace. Eric Singer is better than Peter Criss to.
Are you guys serious? I love KISS and I love Ace but this solo absolutely sucks. He plays like he has a broken hand and doesn't seem to care. He walks, talks and plays like a drunk. What a shame for a guy who use to be great and is looked up to by millions. If this is the quality I get when I see him, I will throughly be dissapointed and ripped off to boot. Ace- C'mon these are your solos, Get It together Boy.
I agree that doesn't sound like a professional guitarist who has been playing over 45 years. I think that he is no longer on drugs but he obviously never practices either. Funny thing is he is probably the most influencial guitar player who has ever lived when it comes to getting people to start playing guitar.
Ace,that was great you are a good sport to just laugh it off like that..(braqihaukur)what is wrong with him wearing leather pants?I think they look great on him,especially if he were to get excited.:D
GORDON GEBERT IS NOT IN THIS VIDEO just another one of his weird fantasies. Youtube user "SteveHanson" just posted a new video looking for info on Gordon Gebert (Ace Frehley Stalker/embezzler) for a featured documentary and is willing to pay for good verifiable stories. Hey Gordon, steal from me so I can be on film with Ace Frehley!!!
I think that Ace should wear make-up (if he can) because paul and gene have told him he would get sued if he did which is dumb because there are tribute bands with his make-up and he was the first guitarist!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
TruthFacts = Warren gebert brother of the abominable shit head Gordung Gebert the "man" who leeched off Ace Frehley and ebezzled money from him then wrote a book of lies about Ace. Warren is a racist 50 year old wife beating loser who spends his time trying to slag Ace while his wife cheats on him. See my videos on these 2 scumbags.
He is going to play untill he is dead. It does not matter what people think. This is a lifestyle, not a miss world contest. If you can not understand this, them perhaps that you are not an artist. Good or bad, Ace is an artist.

After talent, the most essential element to being an artist is growth. For Frehley, there has been NO growth in 30+ years. It's like a painter who, at age 55, still draws skulls on his notebooks. That's not an artist, that's arrested development. If you do not understand this, then perhaps YOU are not an artist.
Thanks for posting this! I so wish I could have seen one of the recent shows he did...hopefully 2008 will bring him out to Southern California. I do question his choice in a rhythm guitarist though. Makes me miss The Emperor!
If people went,left happy,then what else do you want.If you did not enjoy,dont go back to see him.I hope Ace will come down and hit some Mississippi casinos.I think I would leave the gig smiling
I don't think his fingers were sloppy - but there are always people out there criticizing despite not playing guitar (at least, professionally) that way they feel better about themselves. He was obviously dicking around and sometimes when you're jamming you try things that don't work out. All in all (especially given the sound quality) it was pretty good.
Only downside is seeing him stumble around hypnotically isn't quite as romantic when he's not in his costume...
I have to say that I went to the show expecting to be disappointed but I was actually impressed by the overall performance. The band was tight. Ace played as well or better than I have seen him before. Some of the other Kiss shows I have been to have been questionable at the least.
"Turn the Fucker up!" Fuck yeah ACE!!! You are a GOD!!!!!
