[@lesliedigiacomo-u5p]

Ace has always been my favorite..hes a great musician, also loved how sweetly he discribed his parents and family in his book ..hes the real deal ..love you Ace ❤

[@darrinros1177]

His answer on his legacy was so honest. This is why we all Love Ace more than any of the other members. Peoples Choice for personality in my humble opinion.

[@leokimvideo]

Ace Rules

[@Bevity]

He said, "Get outta heea", gotta love him!

[@donwinslow522]

Ace's laugh has always brought a smile to my face.

[@cellblocknine5385]

Ace was always the coolest member.

[@HanzonMacaque]

Was is the operative word here

[@gerberbernstein7360]

Ace doesn't mind people screwing up his name, but Paul says it correctly on the live albums.

[@JokersWild70]

And Gene also pronounces it correctly.

[@rubenhernandez5794]

Wow, Ace looks better and better. Good for him! Keep it up Ace!

[@brianmanning1329]

Ace is a nice guy from the Bronx , he’s still happy he didn’t end up like his high school friends from Bronx Brooklyn ... his shoes are excellent also in this ... ace always has cool fashion ..remember aces off stage costume getups he wore in the 1970s like his purple jump suit

[@steveponch]

Classic Ace.. Love it

[@wavelandsheffield7897]

Always a guaranteed laugh when Ace takes the mic!

[@mahatma5803]

Ace is fun!!!

[@HanzonMacaque]

you spelled fucked up wrong!

[@swissmiss9120]

I love his sense of humor ! Sp'ACE man is the ONE UNIQUE fellow ever 🙌🤩

[@aldefleppardbangkokcrispyc3623]

And tonight to he shrugged his shoulders awesome. Like I don't know maybe. Ace is awesome. 🇬🇧

[@dallascat1983]

When Ace laughs, I laugh.

[@dparish1000]

After all these years, people still call him 'Freely'.

[@kevykev38]

Ace is all about the fans he's a caring individual

[@megadethmofo2035]

Like a lot of older musicians, I'm sure 40 years of playing in front of Marshalls has blown both of his ears out. Commentator has to repeat all the questions.

[@rainmaker5160]

Ace is the best.

[@gerberbernstein7360]

Everyone makes the questions about themselves, and their memories. Of course Ace doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.

[@glenbellefonte9620]

Ace doesn't know what anyone is talking about.

[@SoaringEagle1]

We'll let's get right into it folks, for the next 30 minutes Ace is all yours for questions.......14:30 We have time for 2 more questions.......

[@ltmatthis7884]

Ace Frehley so Rocks 4EVER. God Bless U Ace Frehley 4Ever. Ace Frehley, if it was not for you in Kiss back when I 1st saw you on TV in 1977, when I was 4 years old, I would have Never like Kiss, but with Ace Frehley, & Peter Criss, that is why I have the total respect for you Ace, & Peter 4EVER. Rock On 4EVER Ace ! ! ! Rick

[@stevenimeson902]

Just great! Lots of laughs!

[@williambroadstreet3353]

SpaceMan's laugh always gets me....people on other clips that are slagging this musical and iconic legend have NO fucking clue how hard he tours and how bad is his health at times...yeah he's not the player he was but given all the substance abuse I'm amazed he can still kick arse on a good night, his vibrato is simply magical to watch. #there is only ONE SpceMan

[@kamranetemad7006]

LOVE ACE.A TRUE KISS MEMBER.

[@kamranetemad7006]

ace.peter.paul and gene is kiss.fuck the other scabs

[@roxtar38]

My attention span was 45 seconds longer than Ace's. I had to bail before the 2:00 mark. HUGE KISS fan from 1975-2000 than never looked back. The people in the audience definitely care more about the band than Ace. Yeah, ask me a question about that 1 show in 2001 where that one thing happened on stage after I've played to millions of people in thousands of show. LOL

[@TheBrianp1]

It gets better.

[@steveandersen469]

My only words are 'Space With Ace!!'

[@hadleymanmusic]

I just realized when he said it but back in the day thats how kiss music made me feel FunLovingRocknRoller

Save your love is a great song

[@jackstonge]

Blaze Connolly. I agree.

[@AudiophileTubes]

Yes it is!

[@michael88863]

killer

[@AudiophileTubes]

I disagree. It rocks, is raw and heartfelt, and Ace's Bronx accent is perfect! Nice playful guitar solo too!

[@nickstrapko7549]

You sir are a douche with capital D. Its not a demo

[@aldefleppardbangkokcrispyc3623]

It's funny that guy on stage with Ace is like a translates for him. Ace is the only true space man 🎸 🇬🇧 Ace is awesome. 🇬🇧

[@paulcardoza9880]

[@jimjim7008]

Hi Ace, I LOVE YOU MAN. My question is: how did you wake up this morning?

[@jayoshay3709]

Cool interview

[@pseudosun]

6:24 damn, he couldn't hold back after saying "vault experience"

[@thomaskemer8109]

Please give this guy a reality show!!! It would be extremely entertaining!!!

[@jamesdio891]

Back back in the Fresno groove

[@gilbertpferreira]

The first question was my question for years lmao. The guy should have showed the video to him, maybe Ace recollected it.

[@tarynclark8011]

Gilbert Ponciano Ferreira is there a KZbin video on it?

[@RavnerRavner]

Dear Ace.. in 1975... at the show in Cow Balls North Dakota... Horseshit Memorial Collisuem... you played a guitar that was red... was Paul jealous of what you were having with...

[@Fakename70]

Cow Balls is one podunk town over from Bumfuck, right?

[@2kosher]

RavnerRavner 😂😂😂

[@marks.5434]

hes still a ass

[@cellblocknine5385]

I don’t get it.

[@funzjag]

Mister Justice It was a parody post. Making fun of the goofy extremely specific questions that the crowd was asking. Especially the first question, the guy asks Ace about a specific comment at a particular show. Like Ace is going to recall such things.

[@gaylenorris435]

I love ace

[@infringinator]

You guys have Ace for 30 minutes people. Video is only 16 mins long lol

[@VcrRocker]

the questions can always be better - I did well with Lydia Criss in NY and Indy 2016, Lendt and Rivets in NY...you want 1 minute q's and 3 minute answers...you want stories...

[@GeorgeRoot3]

I turned this off when they let the guy trying to get his band's demo heard by Ace actually hand Ace something. What a joke.

[@marial.rapaglia4041]

WHY? it wouldnt hurt would it to get a little help for his unknown band from him.

[@balkee42]

U could tell ace was thrilled out of his mind upon receving the album

[@kennethfield7707]

Awesome.... USMC

[@mineralt]

These are the stupidest questions of all time.

[@snapascrew]

mineralt I know right? That first question ... I guarantee Ace had NO idea what he was talking about!

[@NightWarriorAlive]

Ha ha ha, - 7:06, "I thought the name KISS sounds like a bunch of pussies." Yeah, that guy certainly sounds like he's from the southside of Chicago!

[@ronnieparker4311]

I was there! I could not believe I heard that!!!!!!!!! That was stupid to even say that in a crowded ballroom!!!!!!

[@surfsup5757]

Sounded like some yankee loudmouth dipshit who didn't think before he spoke. A common occurrence with Guido's

[@KombatRealm]

What a trooper ace was for still coming out while being sick. U can tell he wasn't feeling well.

[@nickstrapko7549]

Hes also geting a nice $$$$

[@randallfloyd4476]

bingo, vic....ace has been using that "bronchitis" excuse for years....total bullshit.

[@raaawkstaaar]

he's lazy, just look at his posture...Gene and Paul never lied about that trait

[@victorbettencourt9623]

Not there for the fans For the money He's drunk and high

[@LannyBenny]

You can tell after all the performances how he has to get off the stage quickly.

[@charliedontsurf70]

"Nah Gene loves me"! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@TontoEpstein]

0:48 Already looking at his watch. Even premature ejaculators can be trained to make it past 48 seconds.

[@geddyleesowlnose]

Tonto Epstein he even said “I’m timing this” what a sack of shit

[@colby7609]

Your time is up, thank you so much! LOL

[@darrinros1177]

The Coke dealer thing was funny as hell. Ironic. Shows the real intellect of cops.

[@jackstonge]

I was there man!!!

[@alabamahebrew]

You were there? Did Ace seem rude and that he did not want to be there as some people are saying?

[@jackstonge]

Ron Just Ron. I think that he was okay but I don't think that was rude. Although he was sick so...

[@HanzonMacaque]

for a guy with bronchitis he never coughed once...another lame Ace excuse.

[@javtimestwo]

sorry you were there. these questions are horrible. why does the "adult fans" continue to think that Ace cares about the 1st Indiana concert, etc... wow! if i was Ace I would have walked off the stage so much sooner

[@balkee42]

I bet that guy was a blast to hang out with in the 80’s

[@eddiemuniz9016]

Does ace remember playing the New York Palladium in July of 1980???

[@Atreyufolife]

I didn't realize it was craig gass til 3:08 when I heard him say and gene. Craig looks a lot different now.

[@SNAKES29]

This is fucking brilliant!!

[@edmuniz52]

How many takes was the second solo on Rocket Ride done in???

[@theinventionsofmegsy3137]

Ace is so much more then the original guitarist

[@HanzonMacaque]

Yeah hes a lazy drunk fucktard too.

[@marks.5434]

hes a ass

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Please enlighten us.

[@theinventionsofmegsy3137]

created pauls make up, created kiss logo,

[@andrewneumann3732]

What a fan boy. The KISS logo has been disputed for years. Ace is pretty well known for being anti-Semite. He owns Nazi memorabilia and many times has "played Nazi" in some of his "practical jokes". The SS portion of the KISS logo is nearly identical to the logo of the Schutzstaffel, commonly known as the German SS. This is the ENTIRE reason that in Germany, Hungry, Austria, Switzerland, Lithuania, Poland and Israel, the KISS logo has different shaped S's. Do yourself a favor and google "German SS". Study a little history so you can spend less time dreaming about licking the nut sack of a used-up, burned out hack like Frehley. As far as Ace designing Paul's makeup, bullshit.

[@gawpy4448]

Finally Ace comes clean... "My attorney told me I released the make-up to Paul and Gene." Ace always looked foolish in the past when he said he owned his make-up and licensed it to KISS Inc. Believe me if he owned it he'd be wearing it. I'd imagine the millions and millions and millions he would have made if he kept the copyright don't sit well with him. Lesson learned the hard way. Let's hope Paul and Genie do the right thing and bring the real Spaceman back in 2019. It's what the fans want!

[@randallfloyd4476]

just another in a long line of ace's lies....compulsive liar....like that "bronchitis" bullshit.....his acetard fans believe everything he says.

[@beano1eye]

Ace says he's "leased" the make up to Gene & Paul!

[@gawpy4448]

you're right... but you would think he would know the facts about one of the most important revenue generating items that he owned. Instead he uses the excuse that his attorney tells him.... He knows exactly what he owns. Nada. He doesn't own shit when it comes to anything KISS related.

[@alabamahebrew]

What are you talking about? In his book Ace talks about selling his rights to Paul and Gene so its not something new. What Ace also said in his book and directly correlates to his excessive booze and drug problem back in the early 2000's was that he did not know until Tommy Thayer was wearing the makeup exactly what he did do when he sold them the rights. Apparently he thought that if anyone wore that makeup he would get paid, but his attorneys had to inform him that he gave them full rights when he took that money - Ace is not stupid so the only answer would be he was so messed up at the time at about 2001 that he really didnt know what he did.

[@HanzonMacaque]

for a guy with bronchitis he never coughed once...another lame Ace excuse.

[@johnspokus]

This is hard to watch, between the interviewer acting like he needs to interpret all the question for Ace, the fanboys, and the guy trying to promote his own band, I lost interest around six minutes in.

[@monkeytailhock2295]

codgerburley1 that fan boy promoting his own material is a little bitch. I'd like to teach him a lesson. Pussy!

[@johnspokus]

I bet Ace tossed that stupid record in the trash and laughed

[@JohnDoe-nj3vj]

The interviewer is Craig Gass. He's actually a big Kiss fan, and a hilarious comedian.

[@cameronholladay3605]

As far as the interviewer goes, he’s only doing that because Ace has gone on record several times that he’s severely deaf because of his career. Even the most intelligible and loud person to us audience members might seem quiet or like they’re mumbling to him. Just trying to help him out so that every answer doesn’t start with “What?”

[@mobeerman9487]

I'd imagine Ace might have a little bit of hearing loss perhaps.

[@jerseyjoe1677]

Always with “ if the check is big enough “ so it’s not an the fans it disappoints me to here that because I love Ace

[@tambor76]

By the time the fans ask the question, then the interviewer has to relay a condensed version of it back to Ace's deaf ass, you dont get much as a result. I dont think Ace even really knew what the first question was.

[@alabamahebrew]

@Tambor76 - I think Ace has hearing loss, but we have to remember that we are hearing the questions through a filtered mic into the camera, he is listening to it raw and it sounds like a regular mic echoing in a gymnasium, I know I cant understand people when they talk in those places.

[@jamesmccracken9323]

craig gass -funny dude

[@heyyou9693]

I had a roommate from Peru, IN.

[@DfactorPop]

Here's the info behind the dude's question about playing in Peru, IN in 1974 - www.kokomotribune.com/news/kiss-concert-on-halloween-night-becomes-local-legend-in-peru/article_089cec8a-bdab-11e7-8bc4-bbc0053a9792.html

[@nickstrapko7549]

Why dont they ask people to submit their questions before the expo and give ace a little card so he can read it while the person is asking it, Because Ace cant hear

[@humbug4478]

nick strapko hey what ce

[@KaddysJamKave]

Ace is such a champ! Flaws 'n all! lol

[@KaddysJamKave]

Hater.

[@jhew6999]

This Q&A does nothing to bolster the reputation of people in Indiana. Dumbass questions. "I have a two part question: Ace you've been such a big influence on me and I love your music so much. I have a picture of you on my phone." What's your question? "That was my question. It was two parts."

[@jayyaj4845]

Ace talks like Droopy

[@MICKEY4356]

Ace would not be an opening act for KISS. He would be a co-headliner.

[@javtimestwo]

OMG, Ace fans are so delusional

[@jeffsmall7193]

Most people don't want to see Ace Frehley open for Kiss . Most people want to see Ace Frehley's in Kiss , and that's not a knock against Tommy who is great by the way . I'm just saying .... I'd be strange . Kinda like going to see the Michael Anthony trio open for Van Halen .... Weird ???

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

Hard to believe he's sober

[@LannyBenny]

I wonder if Ace would play guitar at an Expo with Vinnie and Tommy too?

[@mattyc.9332]

Could be a reality show....

[@marial.rapaglia4041]

keeping up with♠👍

[@ekap9440]

The best part of this is Eddie Trunk did not do this interview!!!! Ace is always great but damn some lame ass questions and statements.

[@ivanc9231]

Where was this?? What state?

[@therockexperiencewithmikeb8365]

Indiana

[@jaypell2.0]

Let me answer the first question since Ace didn’t feel like it, yes Gene Simmons was livid so wasn’t Paul...

[@launicaastrid]

When he mentioned he had bronchitis I couldn't help but remember Bob McAdams and Gordon Gebert said that whenever pulled the bronchitis card, it really meant he was lying or did not what to be somewhere, wonder if he still does that?

[@Stephania52069]

When he told Eric Singer to get out of here.

[@Stephania52069]

Yes I think it is funny.

[@dakotaescher1]

Next time have the moderator ask the questions.

[@pseudosun]

[@allandgraf482]

Nice to see and hear how sober Ace is now. Bronchitis lol.....

[@Scottdrums]

Amazing how some people can be blown away by Kiss music. I mean they are ok but to be blown away baffles me.

[@nickstrapko7549]

FreY Ley not Freeley

[@nickstrapko7549]

1) Remember When ? Asking the Ace this type of Question is useless. 2) No comment. 3) How many songs does Ace have that are better than Save your Love. 4) Its always about a big check 5) Who cares about your dumb record , is what Ace is thinking. 6) I thought Tommy Thayer was the Spaceman-- Paul.........?? WHat do you think 7) OMG 8) Ever heard of the hearing aid ? 9) Didnt hear that ?? either ties into the 1) question. Peru and Gary. good guys. 10) I'm Deaf. Makes sence . 11) I was divinely inspired. No I was drunk 12)Which Atorney is this , Dumb and Dumber 13) Nice guitar. Gibson is bankrupt.

[@davidreffett3492]

Ace is cranky...haha

[@cipiripi6644]

Did ace seem a little rude or is it just me ??

[@joegi6431]

seems he couldn't be bothered

[@cipiripi6644]

Yeah well something was def off

[@dwayneduell8205]

Yes he's is very rude. I went to the Gene Simmons Vault Experience in St. Louis and he was very rude to my daughter for no reason at all. I have no respect for him at all. No wonder he has been out of KISS twice and I hope Gene and Paul never consider bringing him back into KISS.

[@randallfloyd4476]

ace is a prick who hates his fans and no doubt hated every second of being there.

[@madmichaelmathieu]

For a guy who can barely tune his guitar, he seems to think he's more of a big deal than he really is. He's a condescending jerkoff. Not a big fan of Ace Frehley.

[@jaypell2.0]

The 2 👎 thumbs down are from paul stanley and tommy thayer

[@GamezOfWar]

Interviewer not knowing factored mirror, or even what night he was playing...super fan!

Just like you saying Factored Mirror?

[@alexbury2622]

6:25 Lol

[@lonelydwightfrye]

Dude pimping his album was wasting everyone's time

[@tomchipman]

LOL at the guy from Houston shamelessly trying to promote his band in that way. Especially sending a famous artist your band's covers of his band's songs. Aren't there like thousands of other covers of Kiss songs out there?

9:33 we are teaching your kids latin, math....lets see...latin, i said that already didnt i?

[@theviking102567]

Can't HEAR anything. Can't REMEMBER anything. Has NO interest in interacting with fans. Who came up with the AWESOME idea for Ace to do a Q & A?!!?

[@pseudosun]

the who, the cream 9:23

[@amysmith2265]

He can't hear anything. How sad.

[@marial.rapaglia4041]

ear damage from too loud music for too many years.

[@balkee42]

He said he used to stick his ear up to his amp and wail away

[@waltergernand2147]

Way to go dude from Houston. The cover of Parasite was terrible.

[@rudisolo8957]

Walter Gernand I met the Houston guy there. He let me hear his parasite and it did suck but he showed me a part a few seconds into the song then he played Ace Origins Parasite and the same part was in Ace version. The Houston guy released his version in 2014. Ace Origins came out in 2016. His story about Ace getting a copy from his version from the label manager made a bit more sense. knights in Satan's service was the record. He sent me a link to Artificial Head Records. Check out both the songs as you can hear the sounds. Even if Houston guy has a shit version

[@waltergernand2147]

Rudi Solo I looked up the record online and listened to a few tracks from the Knights in Satan's Service to check it out.

[@monmixer]

See, you can never trust a cop. He says he is retired and in the next breathe says he works for Coca Cola.

[@TheBrianp1]

In case anyone was wondering, rooming with Gene was gross and disgusting. At least that is what I recall reading in one of the bios, most likely Ace's.

[@claypage1089]

I have never heard an official answer to this: Is it Free-lee or Fray-lee?

[@Guitargasm1000]

Frail-lee

[@LB-br8hn]

Fray-lee. Listen to other interviews with him introducing himself, or with Paul or Gene introuducing him.

[@surfsup5757]

No one mispronounced his name in the 70s. He was Ace Fray-Lee. Most poser fans say Freeley cause their stupid or ignorant.

[@TontoEpstein]

What's the deal with Craig Gass? It looks like he's been spending his time between gigs just shaving his head and eating. And eating. And eating.
