Lots of other musicians made millions on drugs. Your argument doesn’t hold water. Some did great until they got OFF drugs.

@@paulpeterson8952 Keith Richards is 81 & is still playing very well indeed. John McLaughlin is 83 & still killing it. Robert Fripp is 78 & at the top of his game. Ace has been fucked up for fifty years, & the Pentatonic scale sent him a cease and desist order! I don't wish I could do that. I do much more interesting music, I'm not playing a feeble version of a solo I played in 1973. Poor Ace. He went off the rails again after splitting with his last fiancee, & has been in a shambolic state, gigging in a dead end because he fucked up his finances & needs the money. The IRS won't let him work outside the US until he pays off his back taxes--a considerable sum. On goes the slog.

Damn. But true.

@@ingodwetrust2490 I'm not out to knock Ace. He was on his game big time in the early days. Guys like Ace & Peter would have ended up in jail or prison stints if they hadn't been able to go professional as rock musicians. Gene & Paul were not crazed Bohemians, they were very cynically matter-of-fact about the music biz, they weren't on the youthful street-level reality/drunken cocaine madness trajectory. Ace & Peter added the element of hazard to KISS, when KISS swung like mad & rocked liked hell, before the late 1970s Super-Kiss indulgences, Las Vegas Floor Show costumes, etc. Just to give some context about my remarks, re "poor Ace" : Poor Levon Helm, Aretha Franklin & George Clinton had to go out and play smallish to medium venue gigs in their advanced ages (early 70s) because they were, for various reasons, broke & in debt. But they didn't phone it in. Ace did some especially shambolic gigs last year, he was quite obviously shwacked on stage, wandering into the wings in the middle of songs, & at one point delivering a slurred monologue about his former fiancee. Ace should be elegantly retired & beachside on St Barts, instead of stumbling about amidst a sloppy, out of tune version of "Parasite", no? Post Ace & Peter, KISS devolved from a band to a brand.

@@paulpeterson8952 I'm a multi-instrumentalist recording artist, not a gigster, Auld Sparkle. And I don't do three chord, verse-chorus rock from the 1970s. Poor Ace is on a dead end street.

@@paulpeterson8952 That's right, Captain Clueless--The Beatles stopped touring in 1966, released Sgt Pepper in 1967, fooling the world with technology and studio tricks that covered up their obvious lack of talent. Great point. Have a nice soft chewy cookie and take a nap now.

I wanted to see him and The Irion Maidens

@Taras-Nabad there's actually tons of people there, it looks empty because it's a stadium and Pantera is opening for Metallica. Once Metallica started every seat was full. This isn't a reflection of pantera, it's just knuckleheads tailgating in the parking lot.

he wears em before he gots on stage trust me lol he likes to go barefoot idk why prolly something with his back problems

Слухай пiсеньку про трактористiв)))

@@AaaAaa-jh9os а шо інтересного в патери виходило після 1992 року хіба шо альбоми розсчитані були для фанатов нью метала типа Корна
