Saw them 4 or5 times with that lineup, have no desire whatsoever to pay and see anyone else calling themselves Kiss. Nor have I bought any album of other lineups. Space Ace is the shit, good sense of humor, good guitarist, great showman. I put Trouble Walking on every new phone etc. I buy one of the first songs.

And about the "talentless" stuff that I keep hearing everywhere I go that is Ace's related, there's an other fact : you can master all the techniques, the licks, knowing your fretboard as much as you know your dick, if you don't put any heart, soul, and fucking groove, playing your instrument is partially useless. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: no Ace Frehley, no Dimebag Darrell. And that's just an exemple out of a thousand.

@Tuning_Spork10 жыл бұрын
I don't think it's about Peter not being "smart enough" not to lease his make-up versus keeping and leasing it. He had to decide whether Kiss, with Eric and Tommy in his and Ace's make-up, would be able to fill arenas. Peter could either sell it outright for a large lump sum, or lease it hoping that Kiss would have continued success. Peter chose to sell, Ace chose to lease. It'd be interesting to know what each of them has reaped, to date, from their respective decisions. Also, I'll bet that Ace's decision to lease, rather than sell, had more to do with pride (in the good way) than with money.

The night before the show he came in for dinner and it was my one day off for the weeek, my chef and I are both huge KISS fans and proud members of the KISS Army. Chef had a panic attack knowing he was cooking for Ace and didn't think of calling me. Ace was nice enough to meet any of the staff who wanted to meet him and he gave backstage passes and tickets to anyone who wanted to go to the show. I was so depressed as a KISS fan and guitarist that I missed the opportunity to meet one of my biggest heroes and living gods.

It's like with the "KISS My Ass" tribute album--they changed Ace's makeup, and altered the photos of tattoos of his face (actually, they missed one), just to avoid any arguments.
