Ace is back! He's sober, (and hopefully for good this time), in control, and doing what he does best. Kiss is just a cover band nowadays, playing the old songs, re-living the glory days. I still like Kiss, but Ace has it goin' on. Long live Ace!
@36hcupsizeandgrowing you mean his 1983 DeLorean? lol he drove 110 mph against traffic on the Bronx River Expressway. He was drunk and lost his license for a couple of years (repeat offence).
Like this song a lot though I could do without the daughter/father bit. Sounds like bad acting. A lot of good songs on this album....especially the next installment of the "Fractured" series.
ace's pinnacle was the 78 album i cant think of one legendary musician who's best music was after their 40+ age but he's still my all time fave guitarist !
There was a lot I knew about Ace back in the day, even though I'm only 18 but I've been listening to Kiss since the day I was born. I know Ace and the rest of the band never really got along but the music they created still gets me going. Yes Gene is a great business man but I think that's all he is now. To me he's just the guy that makes money from what was created 30 years ago. Ace is my favorite and I don't think any other guitarist could replace the kind of performance and attitude he had.
Valid point, but i think Gene is more than just biz. His ego drives him, which makes him create and perform. I still like them all. I've been a KISS fan forever. I hope they all do well. Whatever motivates them, it still works! Rock on....
Gene, Paul, Ace, & Peter created the vibe! Individually they will never be as good as the whole in their prime. They still rock today, but their chemistry together was unbelievable!!! I love Ace, but you would have never heard of Ace without Gene. So don't get down on Gene because he's a good businessman. Ace & Peter CHOSE to sell their rights to the make-up for alot of money. They are all for making money, and why not? Anyhow, I'm glad Ace & KISS are still making kick ass music!!!
This is painful to listen to. Awful! I have always been an Ace fan. I like Outer Space, Fancy and Free, and Fox on the Run. The spoken part on this song makes me cringe every time I hear it.
The words are crystal clear in this song! Ace is giving Praise to God for using the Angels from Heaven to get Ace clean from alcohol! I am so very happy to see photos of Ace wearing a Jesus picture on a shirt in one of the photos !!! Show your Faith Ace !!!! Your music is grand !
I'm liking this. I think of Ace now as not Ace from Kiss, but as himself. For all the arguments that he was the sound of Kiss, none of his solo stuff sounds like Kiss. Has anyone noticed that? I also like Sonic Boom. Two different albums. Two different sounds. A great time to be a Kiss fan and Ace fan :)
I'm liking this as well. Unless you're a long time KISS fan, you don't get this song. I am, and I do. This is Ace. Especially the spoken part. KISS has always been able to get away with these kind of songs because we fans get their vibe. I love Sonic Boom as well!!! 2 different albums, both kicking ass!!!
I feel you bro.. However, I don't think Gene ever had the vibe.. All Gene ever wanted was the money and power just like every Jew.. Gene is the reason Ace and Peter are not there now.. Did you know Gene practically owns all of Kiss' rights? You would think the greedy bastard would share. Heck, he still charges for autographs. KISS is dead! Ace is a ROCK GOD!!! Plus, Ace has rock running through his veins. Whatever he plays, sounds awesome. I literally believe Ace is the best of all time!
Well, isn't it also wrong to trap innocent people into a city and slaughter them after stealing their land in the first place? I am talking about Palestine..
You're turning your ignorant statement that generalised an entire race into politics? Whatever. I don't mind people stating the obvious about Gene being motivated by money (which isn't such a bad thing, hell my motivation for work is money, shoot me) but to say it's because he's jewish is just plain ignorant.
Ok, Ok, I apologize.. However, it is hard for me to do so.. But,, I know when I am wrong. Just because some Jews are bad doesn't mean they all are.. I understand that and I apologize. It's just that I have had a sore spot for them for what they have done and are doing to Palestine. And don't worry, I have a chip on the shoulder for my own country America too. Although I am full blooded Italian, I was born here in the US.
This isn't the place to engage in the whole Israel/Palestine debate. If you click on almost any video regarding Ace Frehley or KISS it's the same argument about Peter Criss/ Eric Carr/Singer and the same old "he's a greedy jew" or "F*ck*ng Jew" crops up.. It's not in the least bit interesting. I'd rather some amusing anecdotes than the rambling monologue of "Vinnie Vincent/Tommy Thayer sucks".
maybe on some level...but i love gene's voice. he may have a different view on life simply since he came from poverty to america....but he is greedy yes lol
I'm a huge Ace fan, but after listening to this CD 10 to 15 times, I'm not sure what to think ... Yes, it is a decent album, but where are the memorable guitar solos, most seem to be rambling ADD moments, thats Attention Deficit Disorder for those unaware. I love ACE, but dammit, I wanted solo's that kicked butt, and I don't think I got that .... but I still really like it, just sorta disappointed.
Great song off of a great album!!! Ace has done a great job! The new KISS disc is great too! If you have ever been a KISS fan, you know that both these cds are excellent in their own way. So instead of arguing over which is better, just sit back and enjoy both because they both kick ass!!!
great song, buts its little creapy that talkin in the middle,super american;), if he dont have the 3 first monstermetalsounds sound i have give it a 5.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Also, if it was not for Paul and Gene (Like em, Love em or hate em) there would be no Ace. It took all four to make the magic, but just like Ace, his fans think he did everything and was Kiss. I like the new music, but I am realistic to know that this is mediocre at best, just the truth. Rates the same as his solo, Frehley's Comet 1st release, not even close to 78's and to compare or justify is a joke.
I am well aware of that, and just because 13 yr old girls loved New York Groove does not justify anything. I could care less who sold more. I love all four and bought them all when they came out in 78. Why is it always a contest to prove something with Ace fanatics.
i think its a contest because people always think everything gene and paul do under the kiss banner is GREATER was not the case in 87 with Frehleys Comet and Rock Soldiers ace also makes a strong statement now. Also Aces Competition at the time was the AWEFULL crazy nights. GREAT SONG but a bad album. ROCK ON ACE FREHELY :).
gotta say this fucking cd rocks!ace did it again,,his hard work paid off..so happy to have a new ace cd..im a major kiss fan..but this cd kills the kiss cd..they just put out the most contrived piece of shit since thrashes and hits.sonic dump!
Great. I'm gonna have to bug my parents for us to go to walmart and get Ace's new album. I'm loving his songs on the album, there amazing! Yes the new album has satisfied me enough to listen to and wait for Kiss' new album. I'm so unpatient for the new Kiss album and want it so badly so Ace can satisfy me until it comes out. I love the new songs from Ace. Especially this one!
Only at Best Buy? God dammit! Ugh the only closet best buy where I live is like a hour or two away! Do you think they would have it up at F.Y.E? That place where I live is like Best Buy...in a way lol Hmmm i'm gonna have to go look up at my mall now, once my parents decide to actually take me lol
Not true. Anomaly is available everywhere, including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, FYE, Hastings, and Barnes and Nobles among others. The Wal-Mart edition includes a temporary tattoo.
