  • ACE FREHLEY RULES! Love him!

    And it's a shame for Gene that Eric Singer knows Rocket Ride drum line, and Gene, that recorded the song, doesn't remember the bass line.

  • What does Ace says at 3:01?

  • @Alejandrocc1994 "you know that girl? She"

  • What's up with the title of this video?

  • Ace - gene

  • Ace is just so spontaneous, this is how he works. And jamming is all about being spontaneous. Gene and Paul know this and they know this is what Ace does best. They should have just let him go…

  • Ace fires a killshot hahahhahahaha with rocket ride gene doesnt know the bass parts.

  • Comment removed

  • What the hell is going on here!?

  • OMG gene was friken mad AT 1:30 and 1:45 and 2:57 ad 3:16 and 4:02 definatly hear also 4:20 Ace was mad at 4:28 ROCKET RIDE B***** lol eric was just glad he wasnt apart of that XD lol gee was tired of aces jokes at 5:50 XD

  • OMG gene was friken mad AT 1:30 thumbs up if you agree

  • lol paul was mad cuZ he didnt finish talking! XD

  • lol paul was mad cux he didnt finish talking! XD

  • i wonder if gene kick aces but after the concert

  • what did he say at 3:00?

  • @thefirebreathers1 You know that girl? She!

  • what year was this?

  • omg ace was frike mad but why!?!

  • Damn Ace screws up Strutter - BIG TIME! -- I kinda dig this video ...

  • "What does the Ace Frheley wanna do next?"(Frehley plays Rocket Ride)....Sorry gene....You just got OWNED!! :P

  • What was the point of playing these partial songs? And I see it's eric on drums, must be around 2001.

  • Ace is nice or at least he was the lone time I talked to him on the phone when they were working on the solo albums. Gene is a dick. He was very disrespectful of me on the phone and deliberately obnoxious. Ace and my cousin Steven had to tell Gene to get off the freaking phone and quit being an asshole. Sadly Ace said "Never mind Gene he's like that" Poor Ace and the others for having to deal with him all these years.

  • what the hell does spit the dummy mean

  • paul talk and talk and ace just want to rock hes guitar..im so sick and tired of the talking betwen their live songs..paul shutt up and play the songs..

  • (dyslexic) ha ha..ace was getting tired of all the paul talking..paul talk and talk between the songs..and they dont want to play the song ace want,,hes getting tired of paul and gene here ..i think he wants out of the band here,,he knows gene getts pissed of over things like that and still do it ,,or hes angy for somting or just tired of playing with kiss..or drunk ang high..

  • I'd recognise that drummer anywhere !....thats peter singer ! 

  • ACE ACE ACE ACE ACE ACE ACE

  • I assume this is the Farewell tour, but what show is it? It's the best I've heard Peter play in a long time and this jam seems a lot of fun, tension between Gene & Ace or not.

  • @stuhammerofthegods Mate, the reason Peter is playing so well is because he's really Eric Singer LOL. This was in Melbourne 5 April 2001 & the reason these medley/jams were played was to fill the spot in the encore where Beth would normally have been.

  • I think people are reading too much into this vid. they were just jamming.

  • i can see gene's frustration, ace randomly cutting into different songs that the other members were oblivious to know what was gonna be next it makes sense Gene was angry!

  • Ace will say himself that Gene can be a dick sometimes, He poked fun at him for wearing a suite to rehearsals and neglecting KISS for his movie career, Peter agrees. Paul is neutral and does'nt like to take sides, Gene moans about Ace & Peter having a drink where Paul will is willing tohave a few with the boys, Gene is just a stubborn control freak, I've watched enough footage and interveiws to get a good picture of what things where like for the band in the 70's

  • Gene is always like that when he does'nt get his way, I guess thats why Gene & Ace always fall out. Gene likes to tell everyone what to do and Ace does'nt like being pushed around, The original KISS lineup is and always was awsome but they are very different people.Ace notoriously winds Gene up,Like poking fun at a cop because he has authority. Paul & Ace have always been good friends,Paul is willing to accomodate Ace where Gene likes to be in charge. Gene was the cause of the original split.

  • LOL- gene says "what does the ACE Frehley band want to do next?"

    they may say things about eachother- but they fight in good fun like brothers

  • SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • so wait, some of the best KISS songs were only played in small portions?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!­?!

  • @CrazyAsianFilmz

    Yes, that's why it's called "Jamming"....

  • @CrazyAsianFilmz The reason this was done was that Peter Criss had bailed out of the band for the Japan/Australia leg of the Farewell Tour. These jams were played each night in the encore spot that Beth would normally have occupied.

  • "What does the Ace Frehley band want to do next?" " Rocket Ride" Mother Fucker!

  • that had to be one hell of a concert :D

  • 3:16 Someone throws something at Gene!!! LOL

  • why is it Ace on guitar BUT Eric on drums?

  • WTF is the point of this?

  • Honestly what we have right here could have most possibly been the greatest line-up. Ace, Gene, Peter, And Eric. I like!

  • gene, why say that o ace? Why don't you realize the band would be even bigger with Ace back in. Geez dammit

  • Thank you, Eric, for that little smirk. It was awesome. I don't think I need to comment on the epicness that is Ace.

  • Gene just comes off lookin like the great big bitch that he is in this video. Gotta love it!

  • hahaha everyone is pissed. just eric has a good time playing the songs :D

  • 3:17 SOMEBODY THROWS SOMETHING AT GENE, HAHA PRICELESS!

  • i love erics cheeky grin when ace pisses on genes bonfire :P

  • ace should have punched him in that cod piece of genes

    

  • what does gene mean it is the ace frehley band because ace new how to have fun and ace should get his turn in line to run the show ace wrote most of the music that was being played in this video

  • Gene looks like he crapped his pants. God, Simmons, pull that solid-gold stick out of your ass. You never could play. Ace was definitely pissed after Gene's hateful remark. A good time could have been had by all, but the money-twins wouldn't have it.

  • this shows what a poor musician simmons really is. I mean, even if you don't remember the song, most people who have played bass or guitar for a year would be skilled enough to improvise the rhythm for such a simple chord progression, and yet how long has he been playing and he still doesn't get it?lol

  • Lol, Gene totally lost at at Rocket Ride...

  • LOL!

    That was Ace pretty much telling Gene he was done and to fuck off...

    and yes,that look he gave Gene after he screamed at him was priceless.

  • i was the 100th to like it lol

  • gosh gene iz a dick! ace at 4:35 ACE iz like F**K u!!

  • Kiss should be playing Mr Speed , Baby Driver ect....the raw stuff that rocked

  • I love how Ace just looks at Gene when Gene said " What does the Ace Frehley band wanna play next" Then when Ace started play Rocket ride Ace expression is just like suck this dick head!

  • i was working security at this show!!! i remember being backstage and hearing genen scream " what the fuck was that man!!" ace stood up out of his chair and said " rock and roll baby!!" classic!!! i walked away and evrybody was like"ooooooooh" ace owned him hard that night!! thanks for posting the video mate!!!

  • gene your big fucking baby and have no class

  • I like watching Family Jewels and watching Kiss in concert! BUT i wouldn't really want to know GENE. Because knowing him ...I would probably fight him like a bad cold.

  • Definatly Eric Singer ..... Note the lack of tattoos on his arm ffs Gene is a FUCKWIT !

  • Why is Gene mad at Ace right after She?

  • That was obviously set up. Like zundidoll said the starting and stopping is well timed. For strutter Peter criss started the drums like he is suppose to before Paul Stanley started playing.

  • @TheSpeeddemon75 its eric singer not peter...

  • gene e ace se tretando

  • hahahaha love ace good for him fuckin with gene and paul they fucked him over and now ace is gettin some pay back

  • This sounds like it was planned or something since the starts and stops seem well coordinated.

  • @zunidoll2 dude After playing years with eachother you seem to notice when the other guy stops playing its feeling.

  • Gene manages to be a complete legend and a total asshols @ the same time ( Again ) !!!!

  • Gene, what a dick, did you guys notice after Ace starts Rocket Ride, Gene suddenly joins in and starts moving to the music? "I'm pissed, but I do love me some Ace Frehley music."

    ~Da_Buss~

  • dude gene is pissed

  • and what does the ace frehley band wanna do next?

    Gene = Legend

  • HA! Shouldve watched the whole video first. Nice.

  • i dont know if ACE high jack'd the show. the breaks in the songs are pretty clean, the drums start strutter? so did eric high jack that part? lights and efect pedals are all off stage so the tec's had to know what was happening. there may have been some hatin going on but i think it was part of the show

    oh yeah i saw them last nov in portland. those boys spit a lot on stage.you can see it in the video that comes with the sonic boom cd

  • is it me or is Paul Asking Gene if he should do the next song,Mr. Speed?

  • genes a goon hats off to ace it proves one thing gene cant jam worth a dam ace is kiss and as soon as gene realizes it the better off he'll be ace #1, gene you suck

  • Love the look on ace when starts playing rocket ride

  • ROTFLMAO!! Ace's face at 4:36 is priceless! Thought bubble: "Play this, asshole!" And the great thing is that everyone except Gene knew the song. Nice burn, Ace!

  • @warlockjunkie -That was priceless! LMAO! But Gene saying "what does the Ace Frehley band wanna play now" WTF?and kept staring@Ace a/f that too lmao! Poor Paul&Peter (I guess hard 2 tell anymore) thumbs up if you think Ace kicked Gene's ass when they went off stage! LMAO!

  • @warlockjunkie Eric was just pissing himself at this. I thought that this was SO FUCKING HILARIOUS!

  • Wow! You boys play play nicely, now! How very embarrasing! In all my years as a Kiss fan have I ever seen them like that...

  • The problem with the whole Tommy/Eric in Ace's/Peter's makeup is this.. gene and Paul have deluded themselves into thinking that we the fans actually think Spaceman and Catman when we see the makeup. But we were not introduced to those names really until Kiss meets the Phantom, we grew up KNOWING that they were Ace and Peter. Therefore, when we see Tommy and Eric, we think, "Hey! Why are they not using their own makeup?" Hell, Even the Dolls were named after the members, not the characters.

  • haha love how criss just joins in on the fun of whatever ace decides to do and gene and paul are just like oh.. wtf...

  • i dont really understand why that happened...

  • gene was proby like yp stfu lets do the show an get the fuck outta here

  • haha I love seeing Gene getting pissed it's so funny! Ace your the best!

  • haha ace is just a motherfucker and we love it!! gene just let ace do what we wants hes drunk and stupid because of that...

  • im glad he did that i can see why he left stale ass kiss!

  • Ace and Paul could put together one hell of a rock band !!! Imagine that!!! With aces guitar technique and pauls voice!!!! Ace and pauls solo albums were the best!!! That should say something !!! Gene and Peter are the weak links!!!!

  • Gene has admitted that musicly he can't compete with Paul and company. He always called himself a entertainer and a businessman. I don't think he claims to be something that he isn't. Kiss needs him as much as heu needs Kiss. It's probaly too late at this point now, but I believe Paul would have been the only one with a chance at a decent solo career.

  • Would have loved to be a fly in the wall afterwards.

  • I think that Ace is drunk (shocker) here. Gene is obviously pissed and Eric and Paul especially Eric tries to make the best of it.

  • Nah. There's no tension here.

  • Amen brother !!!

  • Bdrich . Fuck off !!!!! Ace has more talent in his little pinky than gene and Paul have put together!!!!!! Kiss Is really burning it up playing county fairs too!!!! Ace is kiss !!! If you don't realize that your a fucking idiot !!! You just seen how ace upstaged everyone !! Ace rules!!!!!

  • @Thesnag69 Ace is like Michael Jackson he outshines the band

  • Isn't this the last concert of The Farewell Tour?

  • Well Ace got his wish- he now gets to play all his own songs...in bars !

  • ace rules!!!. have someone ever seen the other video in which it happened the same, ace frehley was trying to play his songs but ,this time paul stanley started to talking with the audience and paul stanley didn't let ace play . I saw this video a long time ago but i can't find it. i guess is from the first night in melbourne of the farewell tour but i'm not really sure. thats why i ask for you help to find the name of this video.

  • Lol Ace is just like so this is why i left the band...:p

  • This is the 3rd nite of the farewell tour in melbourne. I was there, remember it well, was the highlight of the 3 nights. Ace was on fire and with Eric S on drums they could play anything they wanted (almost) I didn't take this moment as Gene getting pissed off. They were having a ball look at the smile on Pauls face the whole time.

  • get over yourself gene!!!!

  • get rid of Gene and put in Dee snider from Twisted sister

  • @jennmeto Get rid of gene and replace the demon with a bad ass bass playing witch GEDDY LEE :)

  • This IS CLASSICC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! ACCCCEEE Rocks...AAAHHHHHhh I love thisl....oh the stare at gene at 4:45-39..The best

  • This is a cover band.  Kiss broke up in the 80's. Duh.

  • @Razersun are you fucking retarded? Kiss is still touring. This video is from the late 90s early or early 2000s. Dumbass. Why would you even watch this video if you dont even know what your saying. And fyi there are only two of the original memeberss left if thats what you were getting at.

  • @TheBestYears1996

    Does your mom know you are stupid and gay?

  • @Razersun ...

  • Ace looks like he is ready to kill gene

  • what is the name of the first song they played?

  • @kbmt2009 Parasite.

  • anyone who is glad ace is no longer in the band is a fool, but i guess they dont mind supporting a lesser guitar player that kinda looks ace, just as gene can pay someone less to look the part

  • so glad Ace got kicked out for good

  • Just because Gene has not taken any drugs or alcohol like ace loves it doesent mean that gene is a douchebag GET IT ! A KISS FAN IS A FAN WHO LIKES ALL IN THE BAND ! SO YOU GUYS ARE NOT KISS FANS!

  • @74KISSfan74 I agree 100%, I think all the bad comments are well meant, cause WE ARE ONE!!!

  • gene its pure joke.. that;s why he suck at playing he plays base xD ace know all the songs xD

  • Ace Frehley is a MUSICIAN, Gene Simmons is a showman (cough cough). I don't think I ever heard Kiss play anybody else's songs live but their own. This is because Gene sucks and can only play the songs they have on their setlist. Shit he sucks so badly he can't even fake it and he's on the BASS! He should have gotten trout lessons like Ace!

  • @592220 Actually, Paul and Ace are more showmen than Gene. Gene is a BUSINESS man. And I agree- Gene should have gotten trout lessons like Ace! :D

  • No wonder they kept firing Ace!

  • @RAAAGER1 Ace was never fired. Never. They begged him to stay.

  • so what happened?

  • Gene is a multi-tasking. He's being a douchebag and an asshole at the same time.

  • I dont get it, were they still mad at eachother when Paul was singing? And was Paul mad at just 1 of them or both?

  • what happen later!!????

  • did ace cut paul off before parasite?

  • what does the ACE FREHLEY BAND wanna do next? ROCKET RIDE dickhead

    kick him ACE

  • @KissAce2259 Plagiarism is an awful thing

  • @592220 ghostwriting too, so huh?

  • @KissAce2259 Looks like Gene didn't want a Rocket Ride that night, and this is precisely WHY Kiss sucks today. Gene needs to learn the spotlight wouldn't even BE on him if it weren't for Ace, Peter and Paul. He is the weak link in the band musically, and he knows it.

  • @randal2477 Agreed 100%

  • @randal2477 Agreed 100%

  • @randal2477 but theres not KISS without gene maybe another good ban but not the make up kiss and the wonderful shows... gene was the creator of all that things that made KISS who they are... but musically gene sucks youre right..

  • @Cristiano0oKISS Yeah, except the KISS logo, Paul's make up, Ace's make up, all of the costumes except his own. Gene was/ is the creator of all the business ends of KISS and a handful of good tunes. Paul Stanley said it himself, "Gene thinks there are three writers in the world. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Gene Simmons." Says it all.

  • @Cristiano0oKISS Oh, and all of Peter's things as well. How could I forget the original and best drummer of KISS.

  • @randal2477 You know in the early days when they did interviews, the others wanted gene to shut up because he always sounded like a school teacher, which, funnily enough, he used to be :L

  • @randal2477 no, Peter Criss was definetly the worst member of KISS.

  • @randal2477 without gene kiss would never be where it is today

  • @thleyelthy No, without the FOUR of them, KISS wouldn't be where they are today. Just ask Wicked Lester.

  • @randal2477 I really don't know why you say he is the weak link in the band... He sings half the song's wrote most of the good ones with Paul, and is a great bassist. Every member of KISS understands music and that's why kiss is as good as they are. They all understand that you don't need to hit a million notes a minute to be a good musicion. They're all great in my opinion.

  • @Sdrumer15 The truth is, even Gene has admitted he is musically weak. Some of the songs he "wrote" in the original days were just reworked melodies and hooks from other popular songs. What KISS was (and is) is a marketing machine. What I objected to here was the fact that Ace had the crowd going with some great old songs, and Gene has to butt in and whine because they're not playing all of HIS hits. I can see why Ace and Peter have jumped ship. Together, they are legend, divided they suck.

  • @randal2477 I'm not even gonna bother to argue. Yes the are a marketing machine but they make great music. And gene is part of that. Ace and peter are the one's who can't play anymore in my opinion. Peter has carpul tunnel and ace was an alcoholic. Ace is good now on his own because he has to be. Paul had to play some of the solo's on the farewell tour when they were in Calgary because ace was too drunk!

  • @Sdrumer15 Never said Gene wasn't part of it, but he's not the most musically inclined person out there, and will be glad to tell you that. I think you and the other guy up there should really read about KISS, and their history, before you keep your lips wrapped around Gene's lizard like that. What, by the way, does being an alcoholic have to do with Ace's musicianship? Even drunk he was WAY better than Gene! MY opinion is shared by many, as evidenced by my highly rated post. Think about that.

  • @randal2477 So because 11 people liked your comment it means you're right? everymemeber that has been in kiss was or still is a great musicion. Ace being an alcoholic has everything to do with his musicianship. Paul had to play some of the solos on the farewell when they came to calgary because ace was so shitfaced. He can't play drunk. He's amazing when he's sober, and way better than Gene. Ace is what made kiss sound so unique in the beggining but he doesn't belong in the band anymore.

  • @randal2477 Gene plays walking basslines and sings at the same time. He also is a primary writer of the music and lyrics. He also has been writing, performing and producing Kiss music steady for 30 years. Weak? Ace chooses alcohol over his passion and fans. Ace is weak. This was rehearsed and Ace threw songs in that weren't rehearsed. Gene was pissed at Ace's ego disrupting the performance. Kiss has had great songs without Ace. Poor Ace.

  • @fullinyou So tell me why all of the back catalog albums that sell are the old stuff with Ace and Peter? Why are they BACK in makeup, parading two great musicians (Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer) as ACE AND PETER? Because, pal, that's what the fans want. Your concept on musicianship is quite skewed, and you should really consider that before posting what you did. Ace was clearly more of a musician, and it showed in the fact Gene wasn't prepared to play easy songs. Get off Gene's jock, yo.

  • @randal2477 Who wrote the classic Kiss songs? Shit, Ace dosen't even play all of his own guitar parts. I love Ace, but he was always a drunk. I am a singer and bassist and I can tell you to be able to play walking basslines and sing at the same time is more difficult than stumbling around on stage drunk playing intermediate guitar riffs. Tommy thayer is using half of his juice to play Ace riffs. He had to teach them to Ace because he forgot them. Singer eats Peter Criss for lunch.

  • @fullinyou Ace was an asshole to the band and did NOTHING to keep it alive...

  • @genesimmonshere Ace Designed the Kiss Logo AND Pauls MAke up... he was THE BEST musician in the original line up and the only reason why he had problems with alcohol was because of Gene being arrogant Capitalist Ass Hole..

  • @maggedude he didn't design paul's make up, thats false.

  • @MixxMasterKid depends on how you look like it, since in the early days paul used a black spot instead of a star and one day ace just said kindof: "hey man, that just looks like crap. a star would be much better." (not exactly like he said it but you get the picture) Maybe he didn't "Design" it but he clearly gave a good bit of help to refine it.

  • @randal2477 I dont think kiss sucks today i think there still great not as good as the origanals ofcourse, but your %100 correct he is the weak link and there my favourite band of all time, ace is the best i think but it kinda annoys me gene gets the credit and attention but great video VOTE ACE!

  • The last song was Mr. Speed

  • what`s the name of the last song?

  • @DrSkelethor Mr speed

  • FUK I GOT ALOT TO SAY ON THIS HAHAHA i was there so???????????? who cares

  • you can see gene goin through ACES contract in his head thinkin im gonna sue this dude, breach of contract...all ACE is thinkin is fuck you cunt i hate you so much gene....ACE IS THE GOD OF ROCK N ROLL

  • Ok first of all it isn;t Peter Criss behind the drum kit! It's Eric Singer frase1234 ok. eric is playing the role of catman!

  • eric was definetly even a lil chuckle to himself when ace started playin rocket ride...ACE RULES

  • hey i swear that's eric singer with the inverted cat man whiskers!
