KISS "Unplugged " Beth

[@Genkimark]

There's no denying the powerful chemistry of the original four KISS members.

[@darealgodzilla]

great chemistry and everyone has something special to contribute to the band. Too bad they can´t stand each other :D

[@tomkat_Kansas]

Musical talent was never out of Ace's problem. I saw him play in October, he still has it.

[@XenoLife]

Well Paul Stanley would disagree with you ^^ in his autobiography : he speaks poorly about Peter and ace. How nightmarish was the reunion tour

[@tomkat_Kansas]

No, him and Gene Ace was born with natural talents. He was just a f up in many other ways

[@XenoLife]

@@tomkat_Kansas probably but Paul hated his times with ace on the farewell tour. Ace was always drunk. Wasted, behaving like a diva. Unable to learn any new songs.

When Peter Criss sings "Cause Me And The Boys Will Be Playing All Night" and the crowd erupts, you can literally see dollar signs pop up on Gene's eyes as he realizes the Reunion tour will be a hit!

I’ll try to explain it easy. The song is about a rockstar who’s wife calls him while he’s at a concert. It’s talking about the broken relationship because his job takes him away from her. He keeps telling her he’ll be home soon, but at the end he tells her he isn’t coming home that night. It’s a very sad and emotional song

[@erics9754]

@@kevinbadger8030 Their biggest hit was written by Peter and all my favorite Kiss songs were written by Ace or Peter, so I disagree with you. They did not get as many songs because Gene and Paul were insecure control freaks. Paul was so jealous of Peters' voice and Ace's guitar playing and knew they were the most popular members that he pushed his goofy songs out there and always I was not too fond of his fruity songs the most.

[@kevinbadger8030]

@@erics9754 No. ace was just lazy and Peter couldn’t write. It was obvious with Peter because he barely got credit for any songs and what songs he did get, he had a co-writer. Plus, listen to the original version of Beth. It’s obvious that Ezrin wrote most of the song we all know and love. Paul and Gene weren’t control freaks in songwriting. They wanted the other two to contribute, but most of the time, they either didn’t contribute or what they contributed wasn’t very good. It’s no accident that Peter’s career outside of Kiss was a total flop. Ace was moderately successful, but boy it’s easy to see why he wasn’t much bigger beyond that.
