“I made for the door as quickly as my studded heels would carry me” this is so funny to me

[@DanielFerrellMusic]

I wouldn’t care to hear the original 4 play together again, but I would love to see them all in the same room/zoom meeting recollecting the good times.

[@Bronxbombers161]

Totally concur!!

[@dhjmasa]

Yes! Absolutely! Forget the BS…reminisce. That would be so awesome.

[@johnnyguitar6639]

They really don't get along. They pretend really well sometimes, but in reality I don't think they can stand each other. I Have my doubts if Paul and Gene like each other all that much too. I think it's strictly business. Simply cause they can't "run kiss" without the other.

[@DanielFerrellMusic]

@@johnnyguitar6639 then if that’s the case, let the past be in the past.

[@johnnyguitar6639]

@@DanielFerrellMusic I agree. But it's the case of the extra money they can get. For having Peter & Ace with them for a few live gigs. They're stock will go up. And you have the fans who wants it,.and seem to believe that if they all just come together, everything will be as in the olds days. When they thought ,kiss was the best.

[@lloydmunga4961]

Sounds like Ace is the only guy to hang out with ...a chuckle a minute

[@raywideman7157]

That’s where the problems came in. As long as you were “starving” you guys did everything together! And that’s why you succeeded

[@johnnyguitar6639]

True. But that happens to most bands,once they make it. They lose the hunger Involuntarily . You can't catch lightning in a bottle twice. Twisted sister fell apart after stay hungry,Def leppard had trouble after their big break through etc.

That baby walrus crack was hilarious!

Paul didn't do drugs but he constantly referred to both drugs and drink while onstage.

[@user-tt6be2zx3h]

part of the $ making process.. not unlike the fire/brimstone preachers talking about biblical proportions violence and God judge this and that while he's (or she) drives home in a car and mostly lives like the rest of us like a regular human in a modern society

[@mickblack2800]

I can see 2 positives from this, 1)New Baby Walrus character KISS makeup 2)Ace would've had phenomenally fresh breath, wìn, win.

[@AnubisXII]

"As quickly as my studded heels can carry me". Man the image that painted in my mind is hilarious. Like Sofia Vergara... Friggen funny. And I guess it would be an awkward moment to be dressed like that in full make up and nobody knows who the hell you are.

[@Johnsmith-fh4mt]

Ace is hilarious, baby walrus. Baby walrus 😂

[@wesolutions2838]

The Song KISSin Time should have been KISS closing song. That is a hot song and could sound great live.

[@dolorespotts4853]

That is so sad when your talking about Ace or Peter too

[@kkdeveauxgue2784]

When you look at the albums from the 70s era,Kiss were Awesome just a real good band on and in the studio,nobody sounded like Kiss in the 70s,they were jealous of Kiss,they got no Radio until I was made for loving you baby,The band just grew apart,it had nothing to do with money..

[@daemonartursson7159]

KISS in same magazine as a warm and friendly chat with British PM Maggie Thatcher ? Wow

[@franciscobozzolani]

A baby walrus 😂😂😂😂

[@Deucealive75]

Just what you need is a stoned pyro guy. Maybe that's why Paul said that some nights it was a small puff of smoke going up and other nights they were worried that a hole has been blown through the floor.

[@hulksmash8159]

Drugs and pyro went hand in hand in the 70's.

[@jaxxgaming3534]

The skittles joke was funny

[@MxMoondoggie]

80% of Paul's book is just him bragging about all the women he's banged, the other 20% is slagging off everyone he ever worked with while giving himself credit for everything.

[@chastitywhore6141]

How many of the groupies were underage? Gene wrote a song Christine Sixteen. Tells you a lot.

[@dalethelander3781]

And the band still plays it in concert.

[@user-mn4sp1jz5b]

Missed opportunity. Green with a blanket over him could have been a new KISS Kharacter. The Junk Fiend.

[@user-bq2le7oe9w]

Funny enough, for Rush, it was the other way around, they were into drugs and hash big time, but never into sex or groupies, they were married and that was it .

As for the story of the little people, ace mother was Cherokee Indian as i am and the little people show up to us who believe in them ,when we're doing wrong ,they show up to let us know were fucking up

[@ericscottstevens]

Yes documented. In Cherokee they are called the Yunwi Tsunsdi The Shoshone have the similar detail they called them Nimerigar The Cheyenne called them Knee-high demons Arapaho, called these little spirits the Tiny People Eaters. Usually the Yunwi Tsunsdi being protectors of the path and were credited with doing work at night for people if food was left out for them.

All he needed was help so you could have gotten it not say things about him thank you

[@dalethelander3781]

He would not have listened. This was during a period when Ace would play guitar in the recording studio wearing a shitload of bling and the sound of the jewelry banging against the guitar ended up on the tape. Paul and Gene wanted him to re-record his part without the bling, and he'd walk out of the studio all, lije, "Hey, man, that's rock 'n roll!" Then he'd leave to attend a poker game.

i bet Pre-Kiss Paul never even kissed a woman. Anyway, good for Paul ... he chose the clap, crabs, and penicillin shots over DRUGS!

And how many chicks have YOU bagged?

[@dalethelander3781]

@@edcollins9377 That's the thing about touring. New city, new sexual experiences. Doing that was perfectly acceptable in the 70s. Even playing shitty rock clubs in Chicago, I did that. Having a steady girl was looked down upon by my peers. It was the culture of the 70s and 80s. If you played Hair Metal, it was accepted. Ever hear the story about Led Zeppelin, a groupie, and a miniature shark?

[@edcollins9377]

@@dalethelander3781 I understand your point. For most rock musicians, touring was about SEX, DRUGS, and rock n' roll!!! I don't have a problem with that. I think you misunderstood my original comment. i was trying to point out that Paul shouldn't be taking the moral high ground against partying while he was banging every chick in sight. To each his own.

[@MobiusBandwidth]

I've never understood the appeal of drugs or alcohol either.

[@chastitywhore6141]

Underage groupies that Stanley and Simmons overused.

I'm surprised that no male groupies came out about Paul.

[@davidcarrizales385]

Music Guru? Not quite... ACE FREHLEY is KISS. When his Solo Album sold the most copies of the four makes it the most successful. So there is no way he can be "The Weakest Link" Also Beth was mainly structured & rewritten by Desmond Child & Vinnie P. Finally, Peter Criss😊is the weakest link.

[@MrOmareffendy]
