uhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,,Genes Solo DID not sell more. Think about the source that this is coming from, the egomaniac Gene Simmons. It been common knowledge from back in the 70's that Aces sold more and far outweighs any of the other solo albums. And if you listen to Genes solo, its terrible. I listened to it once in my life and never listened to it again. The author also has many of the other facts wrong too.
@Redhotlugnut. I agree, Anton Fig added a lot, he's a very talented drummer. If I am remembering Gene's book correctly, he states that "my album has sold the most with Ace a close second" Then he tries to act humble by saying "I do think Ace's album has held up the best over the years". Kind of an understatement. ;)
@ValJeanSmith Exactly. I have the audio version and he says they were close but his solo album sold more. New York Groove was at #22 on the Billboard charts (US) compared to Radioactive from Gene which only made it to #47 on the Billboard charts. They all shipped 1,000,000 copies so it's hard to know who sold more. Ace's album was great and still is today. Having Anton Fig on drums really made this album as good as it could be. Very well written songs and great production.
according to many sources, Ace's album actually sold the most, narrowly beating out Gene's. Let's hope so as Gene's was far inferior in my humble opinion.
ALso to note .... WIll Lee of th David Letterman band also played base on the AWESOME Kick AZZ Album !! It was also a 1st. in Rock History that a Band released Solo Albums simultaneously & stayed together !! Thanx for posting this !! ... I can't imagine how Gene's solo record sold as much as ACE's .... I wonder how Gene & Paul felt when th Solos came out & Ace's not only Sold more , but had a single to Chart as high as it did in th US ??
Respond to this video... the evil kiss is taking over a concert os the original good kiss has to fight/kil them in the movie the movie really sucks but its kiss
A phenomenal LP. No one could've imagined it then. Ace gets kudos from other guitarists who claim him as a main influence but he's most often overlooked as a serious consideration. But check out his tone and his licks here. (In fact, ALL of KISS' LPs with him have distinctive-sounding solos.) Most critics focus on the smoke and fireworks that were a part of his concert solo where his spot there was never JUST about the guitar but always STILL about the entertainment. But his licks are memorable.

@ValJeanSmith Correction, pretty much every source says Ace's solo album sold the most.
no clue where the video maker got that genes sold the most.
