maybe, it's impossible to tell, gene and paul are masters at saying whatever they think the fans want to hear and whatever works best in the moment. He's hardly going to say...."welcome to the stage, ace frehley! He's a pretty shit guitarist and singer, and he's a bit of an idiot, but here he is!"
That was absolutely classic. Ace Frehley hasn't lost any of his magic. It was good to see Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley on the same stage after all that years. 😊
When all you've done all your life is play in a rock and roll band, that's what you do. Period. And when you get old, you continue to do it. It's what you know. I'm glad they're able to.
Because Gene knows Ace has do many fans fans & is admired by many that know how much talent he has, including fans that know he's one of the best bassist ever. Ace has been sober & Gene is about money.So much history between them. Of course he would include Ace now.❤️ Love you Ace Frehley ❤️❤️❤️
Gene is such an underrated bass player, deserves so much more recognition, the clever riffs and runs, the song writing and structure. I think he knows his talent, it shows in the confidence of the playing
When I watch gene's face watching Ace play the solo on "Parasite", I honestly think that beyond all of the talk and nonsense, he actually loves Ace very much.
Gene's never spoken ill of Ace's talents as far as I know, only his lack of drive and personality problems. He'd always cared a lot about him, even when Ace was driving him crazy. One can care a great deal about someone and yet still realize it's best that they part ways. It doesn't mean they can't hang once in a while for fun, but they shouldn't be business partners again.
Paul is a self-absorbed asshole who can easily critique others but obviously can't come to terms with his not being able to sing anymore. I mean, literally is unable to sing. Paul the human being disappointed me.
There's a big difference between Ace & Peter Ace is a funny guy liability Peter is a ticking bomb and knows how to push buttons That's why Paul is not playing along He's seen it all before
Genes voice is spot on. I especially like the liberties he takes with his playing when he’s not under the Kiss constraint. As always Ace is the man!!!!
Don't know what the hell people are talking about, ACE still HAS IT. Stop being idiots and just admire, or don't, I don't give a shit. But to me ACE still rocks!!!
Between Gene's compliments to Ace, playing three Ace songs and totally crushing them, this really gave me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for the upload, Kurt!
My husband is a truck driver He bought a older Peterbilt truck from Ace about seven years ago. Ace said he won it in a card game LMFAO is a cool I don't give two fucks type of guy! He treated us as if we had known him for years.
Who gives a shit if Ace is out of pitch and playing a bit sloppy? Come on, he will be seventy in a couple of years and he's having so much fun on that stage. Ace is Rock 'n Roll, no matter what!
Even BEFORE the last syllable of the first word ♠️Ace sang on Parasite rolled off his tongue, I had the BIGGEST shit-eating GRIN on my face‼️ There is no substitute! Ace’s nuances, his like-no-other delivery when he sings is so unique, it should almost be patented. Thanks for the upload! ❤️ U ♠️‼️
Ace Frehley LEGEND!!! He designed the KISS logo, wrote so many great KISS songs, he should be recognized for the LEGEND he is, todays YUPPIE fans have NO CLUE!!!
@@natecannon6746 They were not even selling out their mediocre venue shows. WIthout adding Ace the tour will continue to downtrend. Peter however is done. He physically can't tour.
Nice to see them over come there differences for a good cause. And fuck all the negative comments from some that have no respect for them, and the ones that grew up listening to them!
Not a Kiss fan but this is nice to watch. Some complain about Ace being out of time and shit like that. This was a benefit show and sometimes you have no time for rehearsals. You just go there and jam and have a great time and this seems to be the case.
MORE OF THE SPACE MAN ACE FREHLEY IT DOES THE HEART GOOD TO SEE ACE AND GENE TOGETHER, WHERE’s the rest of the boys? I have to say when the four guys get together THERES A MAGIC THAT HAPPENS.
This is GREAT! Happy to hear and see Gene and Ace together. That classic KISS sound is there. And Ace is a mega good guitarist and songwriter, and gene is a great songwriter and basist as well. They do good together.
Considering how close they've both said they were in the early days because they would always pair up in hotel rooms on the road and got to know one another so well, this doesn't surprise me. The business relationship might not be so great, but true friendship always survives the storms.
What was really cool was when Gene and the band stepped back and gave Ace his time in the light. There is just a mutual respect among the band and they all dont try and steal the attention.
Ace rules always has he always will love his guitar playing what a influence he has had on my playing don’t give a fuck what anybody says he’s the best
I didnt realize Ace Frehley wrote the kiss songs i like. Hmm Ace is one hell of a writer. The writer is the backbone. I did notice didnt really like any kiss songs after Ace left the band. Guess now i know why
It's time for all of the Kiss members to just have fun now with the rest of their lives. It's such a chain around our necks to keep drama going. So much drama on the net and TV has doomed us to hell.
I just noticed, but Ace sounds like he fumbles his words when he introduces Shock Me! He's hilarious in such a cool way! I know people will say he's drunk! BUT I DONT THINK HE IS! And I don't care if he is either. Because he played a great version of Shock Me so that's the important thing. I love Ace. I worship the guy! I wish we could see the 30 people sing r&roll all nite?
You can tell that gene still cares for ace. Undeniable chemistry
maybe, it's impossible to tell, gene and paul are masters at saying whatever they think the fans want to hear and whatever works best in the moment. He's hardly going to say...."welcome to the stage, ace frehley! He's a pretty shit guitarist and singer, and he's a bit of an idiot, but here he is!"
I agree...and there’s no denying what they helped create together!
..of course he does. He's still paying someone to dress and play like him.
That was absolutely classic. Ace Frehley hasn't lost any of his magic. It was good to see Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley on the same stage after all that years. 😊
I love the early days of KISS. I remember my older brother playing the first KISS album in 1973/1974. Still have the original vinyl album
Gene’s voice has held up the best. He still sounds great!
That dude has an amazing tone
Gene and aces voices were the golden ones that never changed
Amazing isn’t it? He’s in his 70’s!!
@@calsrecords4985 yes, I saw Ace live here in Orlando about three years ago. He still sounded fantastic as well.
I don't understand why people think gene is a mediocre player??
I think he's real real good. Hes all over that fretboard!! 🎉😊
EPIC feeling to see ACE and GENE on stage again, THE BEST #ClassicKiss4EVER
Drunk or sober, Ace Frehley is an absolute legend in the rock 'n' roll industry!
Some of the best Kiss songs ever written. Never thought I'd see this happen. Thumbs up to Gene.
This is awesome...Nice of Gene and Ace to patch things up and play together. Hopefully more in the future.
It made Gene and the guitar player so happy when Ace started singing ! I love it ! lol
Have you ever seen other band mates MORE star struck than this over Ace!!! So awesome!!! Ace SO COOL!!!!!
thanks for uploading this historical event, rock on Kurt!
Always a KISS fan and at 57 still rock to their 70s music which is my favorite.
When all you've done all your life is play in a rock and roll band, that's what you do. Period. And when you get old, you continue to do it. It's what you know. I'm glad they're able to.
daveycoon1 yeah, thank Q for saying that cause i think so too.
Ace was In my opinion, the best member of Kiss.
My too. I meet him back on 87 he was nices joke around that was the best day Ace rules
Ace was and is the best lead guitar player/plumber in Kiss.
@@donnareedfan don't forget trout player.
Yes but replaceable everyone except Paul get rid Paul everything changes
Mike Alves you can’t really replace gene either
Ace Frehley is a living legend !
Goddamnit Gene still sounds great. And the fact that he brought ACE on stage shows he is a man of class...
Because Gene knows Ace has do many fans fans & is admired by many that know how much talent he has, including fans that know he's one of the best bassist ever. Ace has been sober & Gene is about money.So much history between them. Of course he would include Ace now.❤️ Love you Ace Frehley ❤️❤️❤️
Gene is such an underrated bass player, deserves so much more recognition, the clever riffs and runs, the song writing and structure. I think he knows his talent, it shows in the confidence of the playing
I loved when Gene Simmons used the Gibson grabber bass guitar!
Andrew Clark Couldn't agree more. Highly underrated as a bassist and even as singer, too.
I agree with you guys! And singing while playing bass can be really hard! He's a great rock bassist and performer!
Ace Frehley has always been and always will be the eternal kiss guitarist, back Ace
Love how Gene leads the way with Cold Gin and brings the band back in time. Kiss are underrated
It’s nice to see Gene be very respectful of Ace.
Cool to see Gene & Ace on stage together again.
Divine Aggression That's Right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Yeah man.👍
Kiss stripped of Paul is the new Kiss. Hear the solos that Ace invented how they should be played. Even Gene is impressed.
Ace and Gene may not have the best relationship, but when they are on stage together, the music sounds great!
I love this without paint raw version. It just shows they were really GREAT with or without paint. Cold Gin Time Again 👍
When I watch gene's face watching Ace play the solo on "Parasite", I honestly think that beyond all of the talk and nonsense, he actually loves Ace very much.
Gene's never spoken ill of Ace's talents as far as I know, only his lack of drive and personality problems. He'd always cared a lot about him, even when Ace was driving him crazy.
One can care a great deal about someone and yet still realize it's best that they part ways. It doesn't mean they can't hang once in a while for fun, but they shouldn't be business partners again.
totally agree, Paul is a different story
Paul is a self-absorbed asshole who can easily critique others but obviously can't come to terms with his not being able to sing anymore. I mean, literally is unable to sing. Paul the human being disappointed me.
There's a big difference between Ace & Peter Ace is a funny guy liability Peter is a ticking bomb and knows how to push buttons That's why Paul is not playing along He's seen it all before
Try that again in complete sentences so I know what in the hell you're trying to write.
Allow me to be the first to mention that Gene's singing still sounds killer.
Absolutely!
Genes voice is spot on. I especially like the liberties he takes with his playing when he’s not under the Kiss constraint. As always Ace is the man!!!!
Yeah, I still listen to this in the car. "Strange Ways" lead solo always made my hair stand up. Love it forever.
Don't know what the hell people are talking about, ACE still HAS IT. Stop being idiots and just admire, or don't, I don't give a shit. But to me ACE still rocks!!!
Gene still got good pipes ,nice to see them again for a good cause
Yeah. He’s an anomaly for sure. Guys almost 70 here and still singing really goddamn good
Between Gene's compliments to Ace, playing three Ace songs and totally crushing them, this really gave me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for the upload, Kurt!
Gene you sound great and so cool to see Ace and a great benefit nice work!!!!
It's so cool to see Ace and Gene playing these great KISS tunes!
I just overlook that comment.
Ace is such a genuine rockstar
Ace and Gene actually look happy to see each other here
You can just see Ace putting in more work into his performance cause Genes on stage, absolutely phenomenal performance guys 🤟
classic Ace solo on Parasite....like vintage wine!
These guys get along so well when just playing the music. Quit with the war of words. Let the music do the talking please.
KISS will always be my favorite band!!!
"You know, I've got a ten incher, HAHAHA!" I can easily see him saying that and hysterical laugh afterwards lol
My husband is a truck driver He bought a older Peterbilt truck from Ace about seven years ago. Ace said he won it in a card game LMFAO is a cool I don't give two fucks type of guy! He treated us as if we had known him for years.
Outstanding! Love it! Takes me back to my childhood.
That is one of the best versions of that song I have ever heard. Cold Gin!!!!
Who gives a shit if Ace is out of pitch and playing a bit sloppy? Come on, he will be seventy in a couple of years and he's having so much fun on that stage. Ace is Rock 'n Roll, no matter what!
Ace's "sloppiness" is his greatness IMHO! KISS rulz
👍Ace🎸 Has Always Been My Favorite Member Of Kiss!
Even BEFORE the last syllable of the first word ♠️Ace sang on Parasite rolled off his tongue, I had the BIGGEST shit-eating GRIN on my face‼️
There is no substitute!
Ace’s nuances, his like-no-other delivery when he sings is so unique, it should almost be patented.
Thanks for the upload!
❤️ U ♠️‼️
Man, when Ace steps forward and fires up I almost get tears and chills just from the history of where that’s coming from
Memories of the best years Kiss had.
Ace is an important part of the history of guitarists.
Ace Frehley LEGEND!!! He designed the KISS logo, wrote so many great KISS songs, he should be recognized for the LEGEND he is, todays YUPPIE fans have NO CLUE!!!
I was there...It was terrific. Everybody on here bitching about the sound. It's recorded on a frickin phone, what do expect?
Gene really enjoyed this reunion.
you notice the little shots at Ace every chance he had?
Hopefully Gene and Paul will pull their heads out of their asses and let Ace and Peter finish the "End of the Road Tour" in 2021.
I agree they should allow Ace to perform with his band mates on the last show of the End of the Road tour.
CodeBleu I agree with you gene and Paul need to get their heads out of their butts and let Ace come back and play with the band one last time.
Not gonna happen. Ace and Peter suck
@@natecannon6746 They were not even selling out their mediocre venue shows. WIthout adding Ace the tour will continue to downtrend. Peter however is done. He physically can't tour.
@@Duski67 wrong. It was a sellout or close to a sellout at every show.
My favorite Ace Frehley since 1976 when I first saw KISS in Tucson, Az.❤️✌️🎶🎤🎸🎶🎵🎼
Gene’s band is great, and this concert with Ace is so much fun. Enjoy it people🤟🏼
4 les pauls on 11 and Gene's bass cuts through and sounds amazing.
Nice too see these guys getting along.
ACE the Spaceman !!! how cool was that !
Gene always still has it in his voice, it's amazing. he sounds GREAT!!! never really lost his touch
Agreed!
Nice to see them over come there differences for a good cause. And fuck all the negative comments from some that have no respect for them, and the ones that grew up listening to them!
Not a Kiss fan but this is nice to watch. Some complain about Ace being out of time and shit like that. This was a benefit show and sometimes you have no time for rehearsals. You just go there and jam and have a great time and this seems to be the case.
Gene and Ace should tour together this year!!!

Paul and Eric and Tommy they chilled.
This is GREAT! Happy to hear and see Gene and Ace together. That classic KISS sound is there. And Ace is a mega good guitarist and songwriter, and gene is a great songwriter and basist as well. They do good together.
Ace - Gene - Peter - Paul - Ty ty so much for all the awesome sounds and sharing your gifts 🥰
Y’know… gene and ace on the same stage gives me way more excited vibes than KISS’ last show
Considering how close they've both said they were in the early days because they would always pair up in hotel rooms on the road and got to know one another so well, this doesn't surprise me. The business relationship might not be so great, but true friendship always survives the storms.
@@CrashTestPilot so true ! Well worded
Love this show and this angle. I am the balding man in the front row.
After the EOTR tour this should be the thing Ace, Gene and this Band!
Gotta watch now and then for the memories. I was there so glad you put this up. Awesome night in all
Nice to see and hear Ace and Gene . getting along together. Cool
Ace Frehley always had that ''spacewalk'' style of moving. It's part of the character.
Ace Rules
Something like this should the REAL LAST KISS CONCERT sound. Oh Yes! This is REAL ROCK N ROLL!
Damn both Gene and Ace sound great here. Gene’s bass playing really solid, his tone sounds great! Ace tasty solos as always, kickass!
Even Gene stands back and watches Ace play like a kid staring at his favorite poster!
Gene was being so gracious to Ace, like they were best friends. Great to see !
Gene crapped on ace after this tour.
Ace And Gene Back Together Again ☆
Aces playing is out of this world just listen to it soar over the mediocre band sound,true greatness ,his leads where so unique
All my thumbs up! Now this is Rock n Roll! THIS IS KISS, OH MAN YES! GENE AND ACE ARE TIGHT PLAYING TOGETHER. THEY SHOULD MAKE IT NOW,
(49 yr old drummer here) That drummer BLOWS!
What was really cool was when Gene and the band stepped back and gave Ace his time in the light. There is just a mutual respect among the band and they all dont try and steal the attention.
Ace rules always has he always will love his guitar playing what a influence he has had on my playing don’t give a fuck what anybody says he’s the best
absolutely !
gene is such an amazing singer and how he looks at ace and hugs him makes time slow down
Great singer... but awful songwriter...
So nice to see these old friends and their band having a great time!
Ace fired his band hooked up with genes band.
Ace is on fire. Very cool to see Gene and Ace together.
I didnt realize Ace Frehley wrote the kiss songs i like. Hmm Ace is one hell of a writer. The writer is the backbone. I did notice didnt really like any kiss songs after Ace left the band. Guess now i know why
Check out Creatures. Great ass tunes on there
Ace's soloing still has that magic -- the real thing!
never thought id see these 2 guys play together again - Awesome shit
ok cool , well peter is done and way too old now anyways
Gene's bass sounds awesome!!
Gene is phenomenal. His voice and playing still great as ever.
It's time for all of the Kiss members to just have fun now with the rest of their lives. It's such a chain around our necks to keep drama going. So much drama on the net and TV has doomed us to hell.
Ace is the reason theres 3 other guys playing les pauls on stage
Gene and Ace are the only ones who can still sing. They sound really good after all these years.
Last I heard peter can still sing
@@edhetrick3915 Yeah but Peter doesn't perform anymore
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear
Lots of guitars up there! Sounds rockin' 🔥
Parasite is especially awesome
never knew this happened. this is what fun looks like!!! Ace truly has a unique sound and style
ACE AND GENE STILL RULE! 🍺🤘
I just noticed, but Ace sounds like he fumbles his words when he introduces Shock Me! He's hilarious in such a cool way! I know people will say he's drunk! BUT I DONT THINK HE IS! And I don't care if he is either. Because he played a great version of Shock Me so that's the important thing.
I love Ace. I worship the guy!
I wish we could see the 30 people sing r&roll all nite?
Parasite....what a hit....I love those come backs...
I love it. Suddenly, a bunch of you tube losers are music critics. The crowd didn't get the memo. Rock on Ace & Gene! F the haters.
Thanks for sharing dude, the quality of the recording is amazing :)
This is fuckin awesome! Thanks 🎸 “I got electric” 😂 Love Ace and Gene especially when they get along✌️
