I'm really impressed with Steve Brown, such an intelligent, hard working & passionate guy. I thank him for working to get the best out of Ace.

[@eltoro969]

It`s a great album. And I`m pretty sure Steve has made most of it. To me, it sounds like a Steve Brown album with Ace in it. But it`s all good.

[@abba96]

Love the new album and can't believe how good this album has become! Thank You Steve Brown!!

Ace is at his best when pushed. 78 Solo...Comet debut...now this. Props to Steve Brown!!

[@romelovesdan]

The show we have been waiting for ever since the possibility arose! Magnanimous musicians and contributors like Brown and Cassata deserve praise in bringing this project home.

[@rawbarber9012]

Steve Brown is incredible. The guy is going to blow up as a producer and has his finger on the pulse of the rock algorithim. He just gets it and understands how to construct a great song and flow of an album. Great interview!! One of the best I have ever seen for any rock podcast. Michael, Tommy and Lisa brought great energy and questions and i look forward to the rest of 2024 from three sides of the coin! Thanks guys and a gal!!

[@InMyHead]

Ace needed someone like Steve to come along and help from the outside in songwriting and in production standpoints.

[@joeymiddleton890]

My fav track is Fightin' for Life. That riff just hits you. I love the lyrics to this tune. I love this whole album. I have been listening since Sunday when I got it.

[@thefonzkiss]

Steve Brown solo album with guest vocals and half the solos by Ace.

[@whataboutrob442]

For sure!

[@eltoro969]

Nah. After listening closely to the solos I`m pretty sure Ace plays on all of them except for Fighting For Life which it`s probably Steve doing all the guitars. That being said, this is very much a Steve Brown album with Ace on it. I foresee some drama in the near future between these two friends.

[@whataboutrob442]

@eltoro6379 Ace does some, but he didn't play rhythm guitar and he only wrote one song. Lazy

[@totallyfrozen]

The album only came out 3 days ago. Today, I picked up my 8 year old daughter from school and she was singing 10,000 Volts. Then I’m driving her to piano lessons and she asked to hear Walking on the Moon and starts singing along to it. When a 72 year old rock star puts out an album that has kids singing to it, you know he hit it out of the park.

[@macadoo2530]

Yeah thats what Ace Frehley needed- The guy from Trixter to help him..good God. Where have the all talented musical minds gone..? This is where we've landed?

[@magnusvanttinen7855]

As with all great albums, like early Kiss, Hotter than Hell, Destroyer, Dressed to Kill, Rock n Roll Over, ..solo albums, ....every recording include a great band, great artist and a great producer/engineer! And this album is exact what we could dream of. The BEST! A producer is also arranger together with the artist. Ace Nailed it! This is the album we wanted, and the sound is punchy and hot. Songs are hits. It's just one more dream on the wish list ..... a reunion performance of Kiss with Ace, Gene, Paul and Peter would be nice...but 10000 volts with Ace make us totally satisfied and happy. Can't stop listen to it.

[@vstags]

Not the album i wanted..woefully inadequate

[@leslieperry3001]

Steve Brown reminds me of Lars Ulrich when voicing his opinion.

[@aceeg69]

Sounds like Ace didn’t come up with any of his own riffs or music for this album!

[@thefonzkiss]

43:57 Steve says 95% of the songwriting was him

[@whataboutrob442]

Pretty obvious

[@timmyjams]

Not Ace but himself.

[@eltoro969]

"- I`m a master at producing. I make hit records." .. This guy is a little full of himself for being a nobody before this album. I get that he sees this opportunity as his big break as a producer very late in life, but calm down dude. It`s not a Steve Brown solo album.

[@ziviaantjeverharius6165]

I felt the same

[@gibson7289]

I agree

[@johnmcminn9455]

Kind of interesting to hear somebody be so candid about songwriting .this is exactly what artist development used to be like at Lables in the 70s and early 80s like Chrysalis and Reprise. But yeah, rock stars are supposed to pretend they don't know shit from shine-ola.

[@halholbrookspussy]

Brown is exhausting to listen to.

[@johnmcminn9455]

@halholbrookspussy If you were going into a studio to cut your album, wouldn't you want someone to say exactly what he is saying, though! " I have been engineering for 20 years in my own studio, we are going to make the best album we possibly can" he sounds motivated!

[@drivingrain8536]

This is such a great episode! Thanks for this one gang . Well done 🍻

[@terjeweum3677]

Good work from Joey on the drums ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@garyhill2740]

I definitely like Dynasty Ace too. I remember listening to Dynasty one day and replaying the Ace tracks and thinking "I'd like to hear an entire album of stuff like this". Now Ace has finally done just that. Kudos Ace! Kudos Steve! Thank you:) (If only there was a Steve Brown out there for Vinnie Vincent that could make him just shut up and play 😋)

[@brianwagner5008]

I love that Steve is so defiant about the record! What I’ve heard is great! Good on Steve and Ace and all involved!!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@amysson5151]

A true Ace solo album would be one where he is in the studio and writes all the songs himself. Or at least a majority of every song is from Ace. The lyrics, the guitar, solos, the melody, the song ideas.

[@JeffreyDevoe-pl5cq]

Another great episode, thank you guys 😊

[@PhilKoubek]

I love hearing Steve talk so frankly about this project... and Joey's comments are great as well.. Tommy's thought about Cheap Trick's He's A Whore is spot on. Great interview and discussion.

[@timmyjams]

You must have watched three sides of flop.

[@aceeg69]

Why didn’t anyone ask Steve why Ace didn’t play rhythm guitars? Ace played all guitars and Bass on his last albums!

[@ziviaantjeverharius6165]

I can tell you before I knew it I knew it . Eather he can't play it or doesn't want to put in the time to learn. Hé was never a good rhytmguitarist Paul is and did that on Kiss albums. Many things he can't play.

[@eltoro969]

just listen to Ace live now. He clearly doesn`t bother to practice and he is extremely lazy so I bet he thought it was fine Steve did all the guitars. I`m pretty sure this album will start some drama in the near future. I mean, come on.. This is basically a Steve Brown album Feat. Ace Frehley. When the hype calms down, Steve will probably get bitter for it. Just wait and seee.

[@billmohelsky7812]

I really like the new stuff, Stratosphere & Cherry Medicine!

Very good album, but I can’t dig the way Steve talks. He must learn from the BK band guys. Way more talented and humble people.

[@termsofusepolice]

I knew as soon as I heard the tracks for 10,000 Volts that Ace OBVIOUSLY had a co-writer on the album. It would be obvious to anyone familiar with Ace's songwriting and its limitations. This was days before I actually heard an interview with Trixter guy and got confirmation.

[@hardrock3333]

"Fight for Life" has nothing to do with Ace Frehley, and it is clear that it was composed musically by Steve Brown, with lyrics by Ace, and has more to do with Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" than with Ace.

[@IDHairCut8]

I love Your Love!! I think Ace would do an interesting take on it

[@MrGavin42]

I ultimately don't care about vocal processing on the record but I gotta say that I find the "I don't use Auto-tune, so I don't need to go any further than that" comment to be adorable. The follow up question that any other musician familiar with recording software would ask would be "Oh, so was it Melodyne instead?". Auto-Tune is a specific plugin built by a specific company that does pitch-correction. Again, I don't care that the vocals are processed and tuned and I think the album is fun, I just find the lack of transparency about pitch-correction to be funny.

[@Wyl7]

To be fair, he did admit to using pitch correction software (and rightfully compared it to every album released for years now). But yeah, he absolutely knows that the average non-musician music fan thinks all pitch correction is “Autotune”, and saying “I didn’t use Autotune” is intentionally misleading them.

[@JeffreyDevoe-pl5cq]

Battle of the bands soul station, Gene's new band, and Ace's new band would be interesting

[@aceeg69]

Cmon guys , Lisa no one asked why Ace isn’t Playing rhythm guitar? Why? Was Ace not capable?

Because he never shows up on time. Imagine leaving the majority of the work to Ace. Exactly.

[@planetcool2240]

Overall good album and any set of songs will be weak or stronger than others. That's how it goes sometimes but what I would love to see for Ace is getting back into a live situation that he's truly ready for. Saw some clips of this year and last year and its not always good. Not sure why or what's happening there but for the fans, would be nice to see it more polished live. The band is good and solid but Ace is not quite up to par live. Just an observation from what I have seen on YT. I get that he's not young, we all aren't but there are some bands out there in their 70's who are solid live and don't disappoint. Ace is right on one factor, Kiss would never put an album like this out before they called it quits.

I absolutely love the album song for song! But if I found out that Ace almost didn't play on it at all then why in the heck would I buy it, maybe I would buy it because it has good songs but then don't call it an Ace album don't put his name on it! For crying out loud! It does matter if AC/DC released an album and not one member of AC/DC had anything to do with the album come on dude. We're talking about integrity!!! Fans want to know that Ace has something to do with the writing,.. that he did play guitar on it,.. Otherwise it's fraud. What are you guys even talking about! Seriously you guys got to go back and watch this for yourself and see if you can believe the words that came out of your own mouths. Well then put Steve Brown on the cover and call it 10,000 volts! And see how well it would have sold. Laugh out loud. Come on seriously! The whole fact that people are excited is because it's an ACE release and a lot of fans believe or at least led to believe that Ace played guitar on it. It's okay if Steve played on it also along with Joey, which is awesome, but if Ace almost didn't play guitar on it then what's the freaking point you guys got to check yourselves seriously! We're talking about freaking integrity, honesty. Otherwise it's fraud if you slap Ace's name on it and he had nothing to do with the album. That would be absolute fraud!

Thanks Tommy for asking why does there have to be so much filler on records. Excellent question. Ace insisted that on this new album, all the songs have to be good. Why wouldn't they all be strong, good songs? If you already know you're putting out a halfway ok record, why should anyone pay for it? I'm trying to get into the songs off the new one. It's okay. After spending $ on all of the crap records of Ace's, I'm not biting. There's not much to taste. Again.

Sorry to say, but this new album also has a lot of filler on it. There are four listenable tracks. The rest is forgettable. Ace’s 1978 solo record can’t be touched. He was hungry then and he had something to prove. That era is gone. All of aces albums have good stuff on them, but they also have filler on them. Except for the 1978 solo album it’s perfect.

[@MichaelBrandvold]

We have been available eon VEVO for quite a while. VEVO wanted to include our podcast on their channel.

[@SteveBlevins]

Actually what this is.. proof that whoever works with ace to better themselves and try to compare to the 78 record is a failure. That record cant be recreated.. because, ACE is not the same guy as he was then. And Steve does not have the magic that album crafted. Get over yourselves ! Only Ace with Eddie Kramer could do that if* it is possible. I think that day has come and gone. I for one would have loved to hear it. None of the ACE albums since even get close.

Tommy so rude you’re on the phone!

[@MichaelBrandvold]

We all have businesses to run. Don’t watch if it upsets you so much.

[@aceeg69]

@@MichaelBrandvold it’s rude I mean do you think Steve Brown would come back on, when Tom is on the phone While the guy is talking about the album Mike was angry annoyed and unprofessional! Lisa just left and came back at the end! What a joke!

[@PetesCDVinylWorld]

The interviews should only be Mike and Marc. Tommy has the worst questions and has the worst musical taste other than Kiss and Cheap Trick

[@Cfolger]

Thanks steve and joey, but Man now I remember why I quit listening to 3 sides, you guys never have anything nice to say about ace and his records

[@MichaelBrandvold]

What did we say that wasn’t nice about Ace? I LOVE THIS ALBUM! I have been doing nothing but praising Ace. Stop listening to our haters and try to actually listen to what we say. Good lord.

[@aceeg69]

Are all the solos Ace?

[@whataboutrob442]

Half of them

[@SouledOut357]

lets be frank here-i can i be frank here. comparing himself to Kiss? wow-ok. i do not and can not relate to none of these cheesy songs. i am No Kiss Fan, so bare with me. is this Ace album better than any Kiss album? -hell no. Kiss Asylum is better and by better, i mean...you better check out this un popular song off Asylum called "Any Way You Slice it" that kicks 10,000 voltz ass..and aces teeth in. jusaying.

[@garyhill2740]

As a long time fan, I can honestly say I consider the Kiss albums after Lick It Up and before Revenge to be an all time low. The most throw away records in the Kiss catalogue (along with Sonic Boom and Monster, and the wretched Carnival). 10,000 Volts does recapture the cheesy feel of the 70's Kiss, and that's why I like it. That's why it's so much fun. KISS hasn't made an album like this in decades, and likely never will again.

[@David-ne6cd]

Crazy nights, Asylum, and HITS really sucked IMO. LIU, Animalize, and Revenge are the best with Bruce and Eric Carr. Revenge is great but Kiss's crowning achievement will always be Kiss Alive for me. Good show folks. 🙂

[@SouledOut357]

@@David-ne6cd i dont give a damn about what you like. Ace brags that this song 10,000 voltz is better than anything Kiss done prior. I am Not a Kiss fan, so i suggested comparing Anyway You Slice (asylum) to 10,000 voltz. you apparently never even cued the fkn song- but ran your mouth here about what you- like and dont. again- I dont Give a Fuck what you like or dont! Compare the god damn songs and then come back and run your mouth- Kiss'sucka

[@SouledOut357]

these two troll commentors -Never listened to the song i compared 10,000 voltz to. but did run off at the mouth to me about nothing related to my comment. take your Kisstory and shove it.

[@SteveBlevins]

It's not even close to the 78 ACE record. hello?

[@SteveBlevins]

Ace has no record that sounds like the 78 record. He dont have the drive he had back then to prove a point. Steve.. this is not the 78 record bro..

[@blackscorpion-h8i]

Possibly his worst album yet , very uninspiring and bland. Some of the songs are absolutely dreadful.

[@vstags]

Not a good album. Lacks balls and playing is not impressive. Anomaly pees on this effort

[@j.reveille6815]

Anomaly and invader both better but this is real good and solid, catchy fun, diverse, rocking,…I like it a lot. And I bought 78 in 78.

[@vstags]

Try The Darkness’s last album Motorheart. Infinitely better on all levels: two stellar guitar players trading rhythm and lead and lights out drumming not to mention better vocals. A true rock guitar album not puff pop garbage. Love Ace but woefully inadequate..

[@UveBinhad-e1i]

Studio players???? They sound like seven year olds! Rock & Roll Relics! These type of acts are completely out of date! Zimmerframe music strictly for dandruff shakers!

[@poppiethestable1090]

Imho. The album should been called 10 volts. Weak & Lacks Soul..Very Jethro Bodine
