Aucoin was hardly neutral. He was a drug-addicted con-man. You can never take one person's word for it in any of these stories about famous people; they almost always make everyone else look like an asshole but almost nothing was ever their fault. You should never, ever trust a music biz manager at all, really. They're mostly vampires (figuratively speaking). There may be some that aren't complete pricks, but I bet they're mighty rare.

In those days, almost EVERYONE (who could afford it) connected to the music biz (including lawyers, executives, even ex-Beatles and yes, managers) was doing blow. Cocaine was a cachet drug before it became accessible to the masses in crack/rock form. To single out Aucouin is a tad disingenuous. He was no more “deviant” nor debauched than anyone else. To my mind, his judgment never waiverd. After all, Gene and Paul were ALL IN on The Elder, 🤣😂😅

There's definitely footage. From what I've heard, Lydia has lots of stuff. Video of all of them in Japan, England, Australia etc... My guess is so do Ace and Peter. Ace always had mew gadgets video recorders and cameras. I betcha Paul and Gene won't allow it due to that they are probably self conscious and were uncomfortable and embarrassed without being behind their stage personas that they refuse to release it. I doubt very much if Ace and Peter would mind. Not just for rhe money because they they're comfortable in their own skin. Gene and Paul didn't know how to be themselves after the makeup came off. Still don't. LOL! We fans can only hope this footage will see the light of day while some of us are still alive......

Made it for a few minutes - great view - but the weight of the people pushing behind me was incredible. Didn't stay there long, and moved back to safety for the rest of the show. Fast-forward to December and the news of the Who concert, and I had some understanding of what those folks went through.

He got pictures of either all the band or I know Paul and Gene w/o makeup at the hotel they were at. Surprised at how no effort was made to hide their faces. Well he contacted some of the rock magazines thinking he was going to get rich and NONE not only were not interested but most never wrote him back. Seems they had a agreement to have access to the band but if they published any pics they would be blacklisted.

I was one of Elton John's roadies during the tour they were talking about. He didn't want KISS at his party because Ace and Peter completely made a fool out of everyone and Ace kept trying to kiss and touch and rub up all over Elton as a joke. Finally Elton had enough and yelled at someone on KISS's crew to "get this fucking joker away from me". This offend Ace and he then proceeded to call Elton every homophobic slur in the book as he was being separated from Elton. We all know Ace was joking and didn't really want to make any sexual advances towards Elton but his "joke" went on too far and too long and just crossed the line. I could go into more details about what Ace did to Mr. John (and Peter too at first) but I'm too tired. Another time.

Really enjoyed this video! I have only one complaint... it stops at Music From The Elder but doesn't go in to Bill's departure and the reasons why. I'm guessing his narration ended there and he chose not to include or elaborate. Regardless... Well Done! :)

Ace said in his book there was nothing left for him to do with the band and since The Elder was such a disaster as far as sales go, they determined they needed to change course and that included getting rid of Bill.
