    Give credit where credit is due..
    No matter if I’m 20 times better than Ace , I was a 12 year old kid when Ace was selling out arenas and he launched thousands on thousands of young kids to play guitar ..
    I’ve made a living for over 41 years playing guitar ..paying car payments , light bills mortgages etc..
    And granted my guitar heroes I have many in vast styles ..Ace started it all …
    Thank you ..🎸

    The reason Gene & Paul didn't want to play with Peter & Ace at R&R Hall Of Fame is because it would create fan demand and expectations for the original four to reunite to tour and would make touring with Eric & Tommy a disappointment.

      Absolutely. And Ace and Peter physically walk and talk like their age. Paul and Gene don’t. Peter hit so soft in 96-98 they had to use triggers. Idk. Trying to not be more of a joke than they are. Only meaning past their prime. Way more past.

    Ace is the real Blues Hard Rock artist in modern time, and his sound is a very important part of original KISS sound. Just listen to all early KISS records with Ace. In the 70th, I was listening to Kiss and Johnny Winter... Ace stood for the hard blues rock sound that made KISS unique.
    Ace forever!

    • @melissas4874
      @melissas4874 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I don't think it's just money - Paul is very insecure. I really think he needs to feel better than others if you watch other interviews or listen to portions of his book. He kind of says it's because he was picked on as a child because of his missing ear, but it wasn't Ace and Peter making fun of him. In an interview with Howie Mandell he says he always felt in life that he was behind others and now he looks around and sees all these people are behind him and he's ahead of them. It's very telling that he needs to look to others to define his self worth. Paul also is that kid who was picked on and becomes the bully.

  • @muziktrkr
    @muziktrkr 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    He’s pretty much saying it got miserable towards the end of the reunion. People make comments about him falling off the wagon as if he hasn’t read it, but how would you know unless you were in the room with him? He also said Peters car accident was what affected his playing during the reunion, so maybe people should back off on trashing Catman’s drumming, if he was asked to play 3 songs he would be fine but you’re not going to get the same guy who played on Alive 50 years ago….out of the originals Gene might be the only one who sounds more or less the same but he didn’t need to have a wide vocal range on his best known songs. Maybe now the guys in KISS can be nicer to each other in the media….but clickbait websites want those clicks and will keep baiting fans into a feud that doesn’t exist except in their own heads.

      Dude Ace was NOT sober during the reunion and by the time psycho circus came out he was full blown back into coke and alcohol again. His assistant/girlfriend explains it all in detail in her book. Also Peters car accident was in the late 70’s, not the second run.

      Except it's not click bait fans that keep a feud going. Paul talks shit about everyone else in the band, even Gene, because he's insecure. I'm pretty convinced that the issue with Kiss is Paul and his need to be the center of attention. He's never been happy with anyone other than himself.

    Can you imagine Ace trying yo play to backing tracks. Ace is, without question, my favorite lead guitar player certainly not because he is the most tight or the most technically sound player to ever take the stage. My love for Ace is because the second you hear Ace playing, you know that it is Ace playing. Live rock n roll, from my perspective, is not supposed to be 100 percent perfect....Ace plays with a discernable feel and, at times, a sloppiness that creates a unique tone and guitar dynamics. I am certainly no expert, but Ace's live playing has always been extremely pleasing to my ears.

  • @TomTaylorPhotography
    @TomTaylorPhotography 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I think you and Ace are talking about two different performances He is saying they didn't want him playing the final show because they are using backing tracks. For the Rock and roll Hall of Fame show, that is something different. You were asking him about the rock and roll Hall of Fame, but he thought you were talking about the final show at Madison square garden.

      I saw Ace live at the Cleveland Agora back in the early 90's before the reunion Psycho Circus tour. Talked with him before the show, he sat on the edge of the stage and talked with me and my buddy for over 30 min before the show. I can tell you this, ACE is an amazing talented guitar player. Not Eddie Van Halen level, but he can play and always have. No idea what people are talking about.

    The last time I saw Ace live was the 96 reunion tour opening show in Detroit. I have seen many of Ace's shows here on TH-cam and he seems extremely bored and disinterested. I understand tha Ace has never had a high energy, flamboyant presence on stage....his presence has always reflected the "Space Ace" persona in its uniqueness. I also understand that Ace is 72 years old, very hard of hearing, and was hard on his body for a number of years. However, the Ace stage magic seems strained, again, from what I have seen here on TH-cam with his more recent shows over the past couple of years. Perhaps I would feel differently if I actually got off my ass and went to a live show. For those with whom have recently seen Ace live, what is your take on what I am saying here.....is seeing Ace live these days worth the cash?

      To me, how thick your nostalgia glasses are determines whether or not it’s worth the cash to see nearly any of the ‘70s and ‘80s acts live now. I’d personally rather remember the ‘80s (my teen years) as I remember them than pay now to see those artists as empty shells of what they were.

    When Paul and Gene said he was invited to the last shows, Ace said several times he would never perform on stage with or after Tommy in his make up so he kind of stopped that thing himself.

    Simmons and Stanley would like to be perceived as top-notch musicians while Ace and Peter are just bar band level and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I’ve seen Asian concert several times. He was great every time he’s not Steve Vie… but he doesn’t try to be he’s ace freely and that is saying a lot, considering that of millions or more young guitar players that looked up to everything he did musical

      What you mean is the "aura".
      Paul wrote: "Ace had aura".
      Not Bob Kulick, when he auditioned. Millions looked up to Ace, but it was not necessarily the 🎸. No one wants to play rhythm guitar like Paul? Because "normal" people" don't HEAR it. And even think, the🎸 sound comes from Ace. That's why many people identify Ace with the KISS sound.
      The others "worked", but Ace's AURA overshadowed.

    Very similar to George Harrison, who immediately came out with a double album of his own material which had been repressed whilst he was still in the band. It's a shame that somebody Ace's solo songs weren't given the Kiss treatment. Their songwriting took a nose dive after Ace left.

    Here's another information flash when Ace says who else has Tommy played with, black and blue? Tommy Thayer has made a thousand times more money as a member of Kiss in the last 25 years than Ace has ever made. Tommy has a pedigree and time left. Ace thinks he's a guitar virtuoso and he's lazy and he used to be my guitar hero back when he had the mojo. I've spent enough money on this dude over my career I don't want to hear him judge other people's careers.

Because they were prettier and funnier? Gene wrote a part of Ace's "Cold Gin". Paul gave his "Black Diamond" to Peter. Paul and Gene encouraged Ace to sing. So they made him better. Bob Ezrin sang the solo for Ace how to play on "Detroit Rock City". He made Ace "better" etc..
