KISS on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show. 10/31/79 ( Best quality I have seen)

[@allanpeck8523]

Gene & to some degree Paul were the actual disasters on the show. It's very easy to see Gene seething at the attention & time up front Ace & Peter are getting. Paul looked very uncomfortable but loosened up & at times seemed to be enjoying himself. Gene was another story, there's so much one can point out about Gene's behavior in this interview but something that usually slips under the radar is when Peter said he likes collecting & shooting guns, you can hear Gene trying to coach Peter with "you mean toy guns". Gene later said he was worried about the band's image & said Ace & Peter in this interview were destroying it but when Gene was asked by Snyder what he likes to do in his time off he jokingly opened with "orgies & human sacrifices". Human sacrifices - wtf? Drunk or not Ace ruled in this interview with his stories, sense of humor & back n forth banter with Tom. If Ace or Peter had followed "the script", kept quiet, only speaking when spoken to & giving brief short answers to Tom's questions we wouldn't be watching or talking about this 40 some odd years later.

The only interview when their guard is down, for virtually their whole career. 4 New Yorker guys , each one the polar opposite of the other. Gene & Paul may have been the career driven / sensible ones but they were entirely different personalities. Ace’s humour is sublime. He may of been drunk & high but he had Snyder almost falling off the sofa, in hysterics. When Ace cracks the big lines , like about the cows, and people crying about spending money seeing a KISS show, all of them break out laughing. Gene & Paul may of not been able to steer the interview in the normal way, but they were laughing as hard as anyone at the brilliant cracks from Ace.

Paul and Gene are delusional with thinking Ace and Peter ruined this. They’re the only ones that show any kind of personality and charisma. Paul and Gene are so unlikeable and have no personality in this, and taking themselves way too seriously. The reason anybody rewatches this interview today is because of Aces sense of humor and personality shining through. Well I wouldn’t even think he was drunk if it weren’t for Paul and Gene mentioning it every chance they can.

@Ange Why waste the money? Gene's looks and Paul's indifference says it all.

[@KISSbestfan]

In the latest KISStory documentary they said, that they were pissed because Ace was late for the interview, showed up drunk, and act like nothing happened. This is believeable knowing Ace. They also said something about Peter laughing but not because he found the situation funny, more like because he saw Gene and Paul embarassed. Also believeable. Plus this interview back in late 70s wasnt really helping them out, as their reputation wasnt best by this time, and for many people back in the days seeing a drunk Guy telling jokes on TV was a Red flag. And while this May be True lets face it - the interview was iconic, and is one of the small bits that created the legend of KISS. That is also a price of fame, things like that can happen

I’ve rewatched this interview a number of times over the years, brilliant, one of the best they ever did. I think the whole “Gene and Paul seething…” over Ace’s stealing the interview is overblown. I’m sure there was tension at times, alcohol didn’t help as Gene (like Frank Zappa) is a teetotaler and consequently his tolerance for Ace’s antics is short. Still, you know these guys had a lot of laughs along the way. I give Gene enormous credit for his Bill Graham inspired philosophy of “…people work their asses off 5 days a week to pay for a ticket to the show, what’s in it for them?” KISS has always delivered.

My favorite interview. Some people, including Gene, think it's terrible because Ace was so lively and on point. I don't think it was that bad, because it served its purpose of "getting them into themselves". Gene and Paul did have a few (feeble) laughs, but this was the first time that Ace really talked about himself on vamers. Yes, he was drunk, because he was nervous before the show. But if the viewers really listen to him, they'll learn more than the stock answers that Paul and Gene usually give.

[@nightshift8249]

They must have had some sort of camaraderie especially in the early days. Peter went completely nuts with the drugs/woman/stardom by Dynasty and started actively sabotaging the band live. Ace was just off the reals but as you said he had a lot of talent and was a bit of a savant. Absent the substance abuse he probably could have had a very good solo career or could have contributed well to another group. It’s abundantly clear from reading all their books that all four were dysfunctional with their own quirks. If not for their common goal they’d have never crossed paths. It’s a miracle they were able to accomplish what they did without actually killing each other.

[@avery1234530]

It is amazing to me that these 4 fellows made it as far as they did in each other's company. Honestly I don't know how they ever got anything done after reading their books and watching so many interviews. Ace, he simply has raw talent. I remember reading in Gene's book about how when they played with Ace the first time they immediately realized they finally had the sound they were looking for with him. With that said, I can see why they put up with Ace's antics. Peter on the other hand, they didn't have anything redeeming to say about him at anytime. Peter also seemed to encourage Ace's wild behavior. With what has been said in their books and later in interviews about Peter, it's a surprise that he ever got in the door at all. Gene and Paul were very specific with what they were looking for and had the drive to go find it. All of the aspiring drummers in NY..and Peter was as good as they could find? Peter will be the one part of the history of Kiss that I will never understand. I often wonder how things would have turned out had Gene and Paul found a drummer that was more in line with their behavior rather than one that was semi destructive and sabotaging. If Ace would have been the sole party animal in the band, perhaps between Gene, Paul and whoever else they could have had in the band, they could have curtailed a lot of the things that happened with Ace. Maybe they never would have had to replace their lead guitarist and drummer had they chose a stronger, like minded figure as their drummer instead of Peter.

My comment was based on what Gene and Paul had to say about Peter in they're books, nothing else. Both audiobooks have several excerpts available for free on KZbin, perhaps you should give them a listen. In this interview alone, it's pretty clear that Peter encouraged Ace's negative behavior to some degree.

@@avery1234530 Peter must have shown them something when he auditioned, probably similar to the impression Ace made. Not all relationships last, and the combination of these varying personas bottled lightning for a couple of years. I wouldn't want any of their history changed, and will be forever amused that the "loose cannon" of the original lineup is the best regarded for his contribution, and the most loved. Rock On Ace!
