Ace Frehley best solos (part 2)

[@cathiiannii]

Not many people inspired others to play guitar more then Ace! He is a legend.

[@danbosman2246]

With out a doubt

[@joepipe1010]

He was inspired from Page of course and VH . During the solo you can listen one of the influences of RR too .

[@StarfieldRailway]

@@joepipe1010, Van Halen's first album came out in 1978. Kiss came out with their first album in 1974 and their first live album in 1975. Ace was playing his solo style and finger tapping in concerts and on television in 1975. Ace inspired Eddie Van Halen, and Eddie acknowledge that.

[@joepipe1010]

@@StarfieldRailway it's your personal idea. In the world nobody talks about Ace that influenced Eddy or RR or Lynch in tapping or other licks from 1975. Instead all people knows that Ace learned much licks from the famous Eddie's demo before 1 album just ready in 1977 and some songs made in 75/76 years. Simmons said that in an old interview too. 1978 was only the released of 1 album but the songs almost 40 , were ready before 78 ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZucpn2kbc5nb80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqce6OMr8ejjrc Page or Hackett tapped before 75, dont you know it ? But some guys made it just in 50/60s of course in a raw way.

[@harolddburke4726]

Ace sounds like he was not afraid to borrow a little here and there . So what... he has creative power putting together some of the best lead ever!

[@TheOriginalSplash]

Part of the problem is you had to of grown up listening in that period. Ace sounds like Ace, when you play Ace's music he doesn't sound like anyone else. I didn't appreciate Ace really till he did his KISS solo album, he has his own sound, his own vocals. It's like everyone that grew up listening to Eddie, they will all say Eddie is god on guitar and he is, but then came Steve Vai, and everyone is WOW a new god in town. Ace is ACE .. he doesn't sound like anyone else, you can beat up his guitar playing all you want but his sound is his and I'm glad that's why I buy his music. It's ACE.... Thanks for all the Memories Ace !!!

Really well put, John. Ace is tasty AF, I don't give a single shit that Eddie is more technically proficient- using that criteria, Yngwie Is the best guitarist EVER... except he isn't. Proficiency only gets you so far, and it doesn't make you LISTENABLE. I'd listen to classic Ace all day long over anyone else.

[@zebdoz333]

i started to play guitar in 1977 after seeing them in concert and when i seen Ace do his solo and the guitar was blowing up and smoking he sat it in a guitar stand there on stage and there i was all of 11 years old front stage, that is when i knew i had to learn to jam and so i have, thank you Mr. Frehley

[@toobmaniac]

zeb doz I started playing guitar in 1977 also.. I was 9 ..I never saw kiss in concert but the Kiss Alive II album made me want to play.. Shock Me and Rocket Ride were just amazing..Although i learned later on that the Shock Me solo was very heavily edited..I don't like the unedited versions.. Ace was my very first Guitar Hero.!

[@davefulford8890]

Ace said something on lines of - If I had known I was going to influence other guitarists, I would have practiced a lot more! What a great guy.

[@lolalotism]

He's like the only guitarist that could get away with playing a bit sloppy because he makes music fun to listen to, and that is fucking rare compared to many elite guitarists.

[@John_Locke_108]

Sadly I was born in 1977 so I never got a chance to see them in their glory. But I was lucky enough to see them a couple of times after they reunited in the 90's. Ace is a legend

[@rongohring3029]

I was 13 in 1979 and I was lucky enough to see my heroes on October 4th, 1979 @ Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa. Pope Jean Paul was in Des Moines on the same day, and I remember the traffic was crazy, and I don't remember much about the concert that night, because I was freaking and sat there watching with intent. Lol It was weird but for only being 13 years old, I could definitely tell there was some friction and turmoil going on in the band. And during the concert, whenever I would look @ Peter Criss, I swore it wasn't him playing. I was a huge, dedicated and observative KISS FAN and would sit in my room and have their music blaring and I would sit and draw them almost everyday for years, and I knew their faces really good from drawing them all the time and I still swear it wasn't Peter Criss on the drums. He quit not very long after I saw them, actually. Rock on and take care.

So sloppy, so damn good, there's only one Ace. Overlooked by many, inspirational to the future's best.

[@echo1434]

Keep in mind that he's REALLY fucked up, the solo bit makes it really obvious. His playing takes a major nosedive at this point without some structure from the band. It sounds like me messing around in my bedroom when I can't think of anything to play and just wanna make some noise for the hell of it...

Ace made the guitar look easy to play , his free flowing style made him look incredibly cool as he effortlessly belted out blazing solos . Technically his playing may not be all that but the artistic feel of his solos are equal to only but a few guitarist. He plays the right note at the right time this video is nothing compared to one of his on nights where everything falls together because he rarely plays it the exact same way everytime . He just plays and then magic happens .

[@chrisamerriman]

It was the little nuanced breaks in the middle of his solos 0:59-1:18 that made Ace special. None of his solos were technically challenging, but his melodic sensibilities helped him play the coolest notes at he perfect time. One of my favorites is on Love Gun!

[@chrisdinunno1737]

I grew up listening to Kiss. I remember when I first them , it was their first live album. Being young and hearing that, and all that energy, I was sort of let down because the first 3 studio albums didn't have the power, the energy, and the more I understood it made sense to my youngest mind that these songs were on KISS Alive 1. I love Priest, Accept Do, and many others. You guys from the new generation do not understand that playing back in those early70's don't quite understand how far technology has come. Today we have fancy pedals, rack mounts. to where an amateur can sound like a pro. Back in the day you turned your Marshall stacks to ten. Let's put it straight once and for all. Let's see some of you young bucks play like Ace did through that technology you would be grabbing your new rig back in an instant and it's fancy distortion, delay , phaser, stereo chorus, (etc). Hitting chords and all your friends would say he's so awesome. Ace played it straight, and his studio riffs were right on. But live shows anything goes. Hey you're KISS very wealthy and leaving a legacy of music licks for another generation to follow. I might be old but not that old. Yngwie Malmsteen, he's fantastic but guess what, he blows his wadd quickly. He can really play Jimmy Hendrix well. And he's quite intrigued with George Lynch. I can go on and on. Music appreciation is not just about shredding and a Wah Wah peddle and special effects. Lock yourself up in a room for a while, and start playing some Robin Trower, or Pat Travers if you can. Hopefully your attitude will change. There was a Guitar Seminar that Al Demiola was hosting on playing fusion. And this cocky fellow who played Heavy Metal asked do you party with your playing. Al asked him how or what do you mean. The boy said can you play heavy and really rock out. Al asked him is it's your rig ? The fellow said yes. May I try it out ? The cocky dude said yeah man with a little sarcasm in his voice. Al played Al kinds of tunes that were heavy but clean and precise. He shut the app off gave the guy guitar back, and the whole class was so silent you could hear a pin drop. The cocky fellow had his mouth hanging open as if his jaw was to hit the floor. Al said thank you for letting me play. And Al gave the best response back to this fellow and said. I quote, (Now I can party). The dude hardly said a word afterwards, but ate his humble pie. He later was polite and asked questions from a true master. In closing Ace was a great player, but he played his best when he wasn't wasted on stage.

You can't really compare the two. Ace created the Kiss guitar sound and Tommy is hired to mimic Ace's playing. You can't get a fair assessment of his individual level because he isn't playing his own style or to his capacity. He is basically hired to perform "covers" if you will . He is in Kiss yeah, but his part specifically he is covering Ace's playing. He is very good and underrated because of this. Ace is my man though
