Ace Frehley's Glamourous Life?

When KISS reunited in 1996, it was supposed to be for about 25 shows. That turned into years of touring, a new album, and then the exit of Peter Criss and Ace Frehley (again.). This interview is from 1997, when the band was over 150 shows into their Reunion Tour that began in 1996. Ace Frehley discusses the heavy schedule they go through. He even mentions Peter's problems with his hands. classic kiss, paul stanley, gene simmons, peter criss

That sounds like a good life to me Ace. Would love to live this life.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Best Kiss member , period

[@SandraSuenderhaft]

I will watch this over and over just cuz it’s Ace❤️💋🎸

[@RBS-rj1bm]

That's when they did the entire Reunion show, and then did the "Lost Cities Tour," where they played some of the smaller markets.

[@WayneBarroncffcs]

I took my son to the first show of the lost cities. UNC chapel Hill NC. He was 4 years old. The next night the drum tech replaced Peter.

​@@WayneBarroncffcsI was at that Chapel Hill show.

[@carltonanderson863]

Thanks for telling us how it was. Rock on Ace

[@jmyers6175]

Interesting..life as Ace lead guitarist Really had know idea. Thanks for the music ❤

[@mikesimonian484]

He's breaking my heart.

[@sylviam2120]

😂

[@TheRob138]

Sounds a little more glamorous than fighting for every meal and jumping in garbage dumps to sell shit on eBay... I guess being a rockstar makes you stupid too. Guess that's why I never made it😂

[@sidneyparker5706]

That’s not fair. He isn’t saying it’s the hardest job. He is describing his job vs perception of his job.

[@rudygracia5573]

But the pressure to perform and deliver is MUCH greater for us musicians.

[@Gacha_cat42]

154 shows is insane even if they started in 1996

[@DefendTheStar]

Lol would've been over 18 mos

[@gnarshred1239]

That tour was a juggernaut

[@1984isnow]

Wahhhhhh

[@АраслановРенат]

Не надо обесценивать чужой труд , не кадый в его возрасте мог столько работать. Рад что ребята старались

Hello

[@Formerlywarmer]

Tough life Ace… now imagine that type schedule without the ur jet ur drivers ur room service because you most would be all these things oh don’t forget the millions u made. Bless his heart Kiss rocks!

[@todd5082]

Breaking my heart…..👎

[@DefendTheStar]

It's atill allowed to be disillusioned. Interesting idea of staying in Chicago for X amount of nights and jet hopping to milwaukee, st louis, cincy, detroit, nashville, cleveland, so on, so forth. Instead of staying in the best hotel a certain city had, they probably were at the Waldorf or Hyatt or whatever on the miracle mile.

[@RexBarca]

He sounds good here

[@mCblue79]

Lay bricks for a living, drive a taxi cab or bus, clean public toilets or serve rude customers in a busy restaurant for an unliveable wage. THAT is hard work Ace. Rich people living in bubbles irritate me.

[@keithaustinragsdale8182]

🤘

[@shaneo375]

In 1981 he was my favourite one

[@starjunkie5328]

At their age, It's no doubt too rigirous a schedule. In their 20's and 30's, it's never enough touring. The human body can only take so much for so long. I don't envy this guy's lifestyle.

[@lqkwje]

Its too hard he's right😂😂 but i agree about making that make up on every show back then

[@yellowguy4004]

Life of a rockstar is only glamorous after touring. 😅

[@PaulLeger-c4l]

Still 💙 you Brother, cause your for real not like those other two substitute teachers

[@jerrywish6887]

Oh, your knees hurt making millions of dollars I think you can medicate yourself with that much. Money and still live the life of a rockstar.

Over privelaged much Ace... Boo hoo buddy. How would you like a miserable job, miserable woman, broke most of the time, miserable employers, miserable friends, ungrateful people everywhere, over worked and miserable?

You can do my job if you like. Upat 5am drive 90 minutes to work, work till 8pm drive home, do it all again 6 days a week. Oh did i mention i get a fraction of your wage.

Take rock earnings and invest in real estate or the same things Gene does

[@johnwestcott5612]

Beats coal mining, Ace.

It wasn't that bad physically

Total respect!!🎖🏆"Getting Had,Getting Took;I tell ya folks,IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!!".AC/DC.After the fact;But Ace should've had some obscured soft/thick pads on the area he'd be falling to his knees on.Self preservation man!

[@panosp1333]

Rare but very dumb take by Ace

[@grahamyoung3433]

All the good it did him in the long run, he's homeless and owes a couple of hundred grand to the IRS.

Always complaining
