@@joepipe1010, Van Halen's first album came out in 1978. Kiss came out with their first album in 1974 and their first live album in 1975. Ace was playing his solo style and finger tapping in concerts and on television in 1975. Ace inspired Eddie Van Halen, and Eddie acknowledge that.
@@StarfieldRailway it's your personal idea. In the world nobody talks about Ace that influenced Eddy or RR or Lynch in tapping or other licks from 1975. Instead all people knows that Ace learned much licks from the famous Eddie's demo before 1 album just ready in 1977 and some songs made in 75/76 years. Simmons said that in an old interview too. 1978 was only the released of 1 album but the songs almost 40 , were ready before 78 ! th-cam.com/video/cj9uJn8i49k/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/kY9JpVzbpXU/w-d-xo.html Page or Hackett tapped before 75, dont you know it ? But some guys made it just in 50/60s of course in a raw way.
Part of the problem is you had to of grown up listening in that period. Ace sounds like Ace, when you play Ace's music he doesn't sound like anyone else. I didn't appreciate Ace really till he did his KISS solo album, he has his own sound, his own vocals. It's like everyone that grew up listening to Eddie, they will all say Eddie is god on guitar and he is, but then came Steve Vai, and everyone is WOW a new god in town. Ace is ACE .. he doesn't sound like anyone else, you can beat up his guitar playing all you want but his sound is his and I'm glad that's why I buy his music. It's ACE.... Thanks for all the Memories Ace !!!
Really well put, John. Ace is tasty AF, I don't give a single shit that Eddie is more technically proficient- using that criteria, Yngwie Is the best guitarist EVER... except he isn't. Proficiency only gets you so far, and it doesn't make you LISTENABLE. I'd listen to classic Ace all day long over anyone else.
He had influence on a lot of guitarist today. Including me. 1977 bought Alive II, when that feed back started on King of the night time world. I was hooked.
i started to play guitar in 1977 after seeing them in concert and when i seen Ace do his solo and the guitar was blowing up and smoking he sat it in a guitar stand there on stage and there i was all of 11 years old front stage, that is when i knew i had to learn to jam and so i have, thank you Mr. Frehley
zeb doz I started playing guitar in 1977 also.. I was 9 ..I never saw kiss in concert but the Kiss Alive II album made me want to play.. Shock Me and Rocket Ride were just amazing..Although i learned later on that the Shock Me solo was very heavily edited..I don't like the unedited versions.. Ace was my very first Guitar Hero.!
He's like the only guitarist that could get away with playing a bit sloppy because he makes music fun to listen to, and that is fucking rare compared to many elite guitarists.
wouldnt that be WONDERFUL..good lord..I cant imagine ....I didnt even get into Kiss until about 4 years ago when all of a sudden it clicked...Ace is the man. His still very calm and cool..doesnt love more than his music and his family...
ACE fit all to well into the 80,s metal world , thus he didn’t need kiss. He sold more albums than most people will ever dream of and is still playing at 66! Who wouldn’t get tired of those shoes and putting in that makeup . Keep on shocking us ACE !
2 guitars just blew me away as a young un in the 70's. 1 was Peter Frampton's Black Beauty Les Paul, and of course Frehley's Cherry Sunburst Paul. So fortunate to have seen them both. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL KISS, PLEASE!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
The editor/camera guy during the shock me solo needs kicked in the nuts for the 'special effects' bs. Why does everyone gotta ruin good footage? And then not show the best part of the solo at the end?? WTF???
Keep in mind that he's REALLY fucked up, the solo bit makes it really obvious. His playing takes a major nosedive at this point without some structure from the band. It sounds like me messing around in my bedroom when I can't think of anything to play and just wanna make some noise for the hell of it...
Sadly I was born in 1977 so I never got a chance to see them in their glory. But I was lucky enough to see them a couple of times after they reunited in the 90's. Ace is a legend
I was 13 in 1979 and I was lucky enough to see my heroes on October 4th, 1979 @ Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa. Pope Jean Paul was in Des Moines on the same day, and I remember the traffic was crazy, and I don't remember much about the concert that night, because I was freaking and sat there watching with intent. Lol It was weird but for only being 13 years old, I could definitely tell there was some friction and turmoil going on in the band. And during the concert, whenever I would look @ Peter Criss, I swore it wasn't him playing. I was a huge, dedicated and observative KISS FAN and would sit in my room and have their music blaring and I would sit and draw them almost everyday for years, and I knew their faces really good from drawing them all the time and I still swear it wasn't Peter Criss on the drums. He quit not very long after I saw them, actually. Rock on and take care.
Ace made the guitar look easy to play , his free flowing style made him look incredibly cool as he effortlessly belted out blazing solos . Technically his playing may not be all that but the artistic feel of his solos are equal to only but a few guitarist. He plays the right note at the right time this video is nothing compared to one of his on nights where everything falls together because he rarely plays it the exact same way everytime . He just plays and then magic happens .
Would love to see Eddie Van Valen play a solo while his guitar is on fire... No, wait... I would love to see Eddie Van Halen's guitar play a solo while EVH was on fire
You can't really compare the two. Ace created the Kiss guitar sound and Tommy is hired to mimic Ace's playing. You can't get a fair assessment of his individual level because he isn't playing his own style or to his capacity. He is basically hired to perform "covers" if you will . He is in Kiss yeah, but his part specifically he is covering Ace's playing. He is very good and underrated because of this. Ace is my man though
@@marial.rapaglia4041 First of all!! You cant even spell..GUITAR!! SO WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GUITARS ANYWAY!Thats the best,and toughest Guitar around !Ask any one!.......Jimmy Page-Jimmy Hendrix?!!...Slash!
A guitar God from Jendell sent to Earth !!!! Incredible ! Unique ! Awesome ! Far beyond what human words could express ! Guts-instinct and soul ! Only one and only sp'ACE man ! 🙌💥💖🎸
It sounds like he reaching for something he can't quite pull off and taking risks, ironically this creates a great vibe, I would rather this than the next immaculate soulless shredder..
Ace was the most talented in the band. Even though Ace isn’t even close to the greatest guitarists of all time- he is STILL one of my absolute favorite guitarist of all time!! I will always be a lifetime fan of the 1 AND ONLY Space Ace !!! Paul and Gene are a couple of dicks for putting someone else in Ace and Peter”s makeup !
Sad to hear Gene talk so badly about Ace...guy is unbelievable...none of the other KISS guitar players are even close...and Gene and Paul damn sure know it...the original band had the magic...the rest were imitators.
I grew up listening to Kiss. I remember when I first them , it was their first live album. Being young and hearing that, and all that energy, I was sort of let down because the first 3 studio albums didn't have the power, the energy, and the more I understood it made sense to my youngest mind that these songs were on KISS Alive 1. I love Priest, Accept Do, and many others. You guys from the new generation do not understand that playing back in those early70's don't quite understand how far technology has come. Today we have fancy pedals, rack mounts. to where an amateur can sound like a pro. Back in the day you turned your Marshall stacks to ten. Let's put it straight once and for all. Let's see some of you young bucks play like Ace did through that technology you would be grabbing your new rig back in an instant and it's fancy distortion, delay , phaser, stereo chorus, (etc). Hitting chords and all your friends would say he's so awesome. Ace played it straight, and his studio riffs were right on. But live shows anything goes. Hey you're KISS very wealthy and leaving a legacy of music licks for another generation to follow. I might be old but not that old. Yngwie Malmsteen, he's fantastic but guess what, he blows his wadd quickly. He can really play Jimmy Hendrix well. And he's quite intrigued with George Lynch. I can go on and on. Music appreciation is not just about shredding and a Wah Wah peddle and special effects. Lock yourself up in a room for a while, and start playing some Robin Trower, or Pat Travers if you can. Hopefully your attitude will change. There was a Guitar Seminar that Al Demiola was hosting on playing fusion. And this cocky fellow who played Heavy Metal asked do you party with your playing. Al asked him how or what do you mean. The boy said can you play heavy and really rock out. Al asked him is it's your rig ? The fellow said yes. May I try it out ? The cocky dude said yeah man with a little sarcasm in his voice. Al played Al kinds of tunes that were heavy but clean and precise. He shut the app off gave the guy guitar back, and the whole class was so silent you could hear a pin drop. The cocky fellow had his mouth hanging open as if his jaw was to hit the floor. Al said thank you for letting me play. And Al gave the best response back to this fellow and said. I quote, (Now I can party). The dude hardly said a word afterwards, but ate his humble pie. He later was polite and asked questions from a true master. In closing Ace was a great player, but he played his best when he wasn't wasted on stage.
It was the little nuanced breaks in the middle of his solos 0:59-1:18 that made Ace special. None of his solos were technically challenging, but his melodic sensibilities helped him play the coolest notes at he perfect time. One of my favorites is on Love Gun!
I'll admit like the music industry and many fans I have underestimated Ace but like I said I have meaning past tense because after watching this video iv put some thought into it he is amazing has great hand control and is the original and only kiss guitarist I see potential in as far as kiss goes all though iv always loved vinnie vincent invasion but that's another story lol
I wouldn't say his playing sloppy. Ace was never an insanely precise player like an 80s shredder or something. As far as I'm concerned his stays in key and his bends are in tune well when regarding solo's in songs, not his solo section where he goes nuts. Still great.
Ace was far from perfection, but what he did was perfect. A real guitar player with fun while playing and who cares if every note sounds perfect. I´d like to know, how many people started playing the guitar, just because of him. He is no guitar god, no guitar hero, just ACE.
P Daniel, ace is a terrible guitarist, he was only ever decent in the 70s and he has gotten worse and worse ever since, he is so sloppy now and he can barely play, he sounds terrible, I don’t know what he does in his free time but he definitely doesn’t practice, and he REALLY needs to.
Tommy Is Far From Being Ace. Tommy is 100% better than Ace. Ace will always be the original G player for KISS and loved and missed but Tommy is the better guitar player. As Bruce Kulick is as well !
@@Daniel-Weaver 😂 lol...I've heard of the others but not you bro. Those 3 you mentioned are awesome (especially Angus) but if I had to pick a 5th it would probably be Warren de Martini from Ratt, or maybe Slash from GnR.
God bless Tommy T, but he will never be as cool as Ace,,,,or play like him,,,,listen to the solo at the beginning of Strutter,,, those squawking notes ,, damn ,,, the body language, moves and stage presence ... can be imitated but not duplicated. Legendary!
you are 100% correct...ACE IS A DISGRACE TO THE GUITAR AND MUSIC IN GENERAL...THE AVERAGE, AND I SAY VERY AVERAGE 12-13YO NOODLING AROUND AT THE GUITAR CENTER BLOWS ACE FREHLEY AWAY..THE GUY SUCKS AND HE'S JUST LUCKY THAT HE WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO BE A MEMBER OF AN ICONIC ROCK BAND....HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT ANYWHERE ELSE, THE GUY HAS ZERO TALENT, ZERO, TECHNIQUE, AND ZERO CREATIVITY...AND ZERO PLUS ZERO IS ZEEEEEROOOOO!!! AND HE'S A BIGOT ASSHOLE TO BOOT, THERE ARE JUST NO REDEEMING QUALITIES ABOUT THE GUY....HE'S JUST THE LUCKIEST, SUCKIEST WAANA BE GUITAR PLAYER EVER....
Not many people inspired others to play guitar more then Ace! He is a legend.
With out a doubt
He was inspired from Page of course and VH .
During the solo you can listen one of the influences of RR too .

so do you play as badly as ace frehley? he is the worst player in rock music.
Ace is mid at best imo, chuck berry is way better than him.
A unique style. Ace Frehley is one of the most important rock guitarrist.

I wouldn't be interested in guitar today, if not for ACE FRELEY, I was 14, now 59,couldn't get enough of that les paul smokin
He's like the only guitarist that could get away with playing a bit sloppy because he makes music fun to listen to, and that is fucking rare compared to many elite guitarists.
Jimmy Page still reigns as the sloppy king.
Jimmy page is another
the lyrical and musical genius of Leppard Steve 'The Riffmaster' Clark was the same and strapped LOW live he oozed genuine cool...
Ace is THE most memorable/singable/whistleable/melodic rock guitarist EVER. He will never be forgotten.
Stop it … he has his place but melodic he is not.. you can’t whistle his stuff like say Steve vai
Ace Frehley, Greatest Lead guitar of all time! There is no KIss without ACE!
I still would like to see them all play together again..the originals I mean...
hell yeah
wouldnt that be WONDERFUL..good lord..I cant imagine ....I didnt even get into Kiss until about 4 years ago when all of a sudden it clicked...Ace is the man. His still very calm and cool..doesnt love more than his music and his family...
His space suit doesn't fit anymore
The very last Four Shows ever should be with the Originals. One Show for each Man!
That ship has sailed my friend
Ace said something on lines of - If I had known I was going to influence other guitarists, I would have practiced a lot more! What a great guy.
Ace, by his own self admission, just fucking winging it up there on stage
Ace's solo in Shock Me is breathtaking...much more than just a solo. a true work of art.
Sure you were watching this video?
♠is three dimensional, not two dimensional flat.
So Breaking Ego Van Halen stole it ............Eruption
Kiss ALIVE II
You got to be kidding
ace frehley puts in some fuckin work boy.....sounds so fucking good
hell yeah
Ace didnt take himself seriously he just loves to rock and have a great time!
ACE fit all to well into the 80,s metal world , thus he didn’t need kiss.
He sold more albums than most people will ever dream of and is still playing at 66!
Who wouldn’t get tired of those shoes and putting in that makeup .

Ace is the absolute master of string bends.
Hard core Rush fan, Lifeson's precision always impressed me. Ace mastered the art of entertainment value.

applejacks971 A. Man. Fan. Think. Ace. Say. Old. Fart
So sloppy, so damn good, there's only one Ace. Overlooked by many, inspirational to the future's best.
Keep in mind that he's REALLY fucked up, the solo bit makes it really obvious. His playing takes a major nosedive at this point without some structure from the band. It sounds like me messing around in my bedroom when I can't think of anything to play and just wanna make some noise for the hell of it...

Thank God for Vinnie he didn’t just copy, he created , thus i respect you Vinnie!
Would love to see you play.
I challenge anyone to play as well as wasted as he was. 😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Have always loved Ace's signature sound. It really colored Kiss and is frozen in time from the early days of the band. Truly legendary...good grooves.
You guys are the greatest! Can't you put your differences aside and be friends again? Give the world what they want. KISS!!!!

ACE without a DOUBT is the VERY BEST member of KISS talent wise.
He makes Paul and Gene look like amateur HACK POSERS.
On the other side, he also.made them look good. And famous. Without him, they would hardly be a KISS as they was.😎
That’s why they had to get rid of him he was ace
My neighbors love it when I attempt to play this solo.

You forgot the Love Gun solo - his best
Classic.
bassmanjoe i agree
P Daniel the bad thing about the love gun solo is that their is vocals over it
Dark Light, What Makes The World Go Round, Strange Ways
P Daniel, ace is a terrible guitarist, he was only ever decent in the 70s and he has gotten worse and worse ever since, he is so sloppy now and he can barely play, he sounds terrible, I don’t know what he does in his free time but he definitely doesn’t practice, and he REALLY needs to.
A rather average guitarist with an above average ability, showmanship attitude and feel for Rock n Roll in my humble opinion. I dig his style ;)
Aces imperfections and "feel" makes him as unique as what Randy's perfections and tightness and tone make him unique....in my opinion
Ace an Alien God !
Awesome ACE!!! Very inspiring! Ace has the coolest "stage presence" of any lead guitar player in any hard rock band. That's why he's a living legend.
Very nice ace
Was able to tell him in 2017 that he's inspiring to me in person
Ace is the best guitarist of band KISS 💙 (France) too bad I've never see him in a concert.
It could of easily been ace's band
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear
ACE HAD BEST PERSONALITY OUT OF ALL (check interview when he drunk AF!!) Hahahaha
Ace is super awesome. How many guitar players past and present picked up gutar bcuz of this guy??
Ace the Best !!!!
DAMN WHAT A FINISH EH??? KICKED ASS FOR SURE...SMOKIN BABY !!!!
Ace got a Vinnie Vincent ear ring in. must be a wink to the Wiz
smolin' flyin' guitar- only the plumber can do it
Ace always had and did good solos like no one else
Sorry Tommy. You're not Ace.
your damn right
Tommy Is Far From Being Ace. Tommy is 100% better than Ace. Ace will always be the original G player for KISS and loved and missed but Tommy is the better guitar player. As Bruce Kulick is as well !
ace is good as ace but tommy showing other good play in kiss
Very good Terra Firma 😂😂😂😂
@@TracyGunz bullshit Tommy will never sound like Ace even playing the same songs.
Super solo Bravo ace!!!
the greatest that ever lived
DESCOBRI A IMPORTÂNCIA DO ACE NESSE VÍDEO!!
The true sound of the Original KISS! Frigging ACE FREHLEY and it's Fray-lee folks NOT Free-lee.
@ 5:00. the only way to experience Ace is live
after watching this now i want to play electric guitar!
One of the greatest guitar moments in Rock history right there! The guitar spinning away into the night is legend!
@@hardyzfate5168 he's still inspiring people
Here before their biopic comes out and this video reaches 10 million views
I had no idea Nigel Tuffnel was even in Kiss!
Ace's solos age better over time than most of KISS's catalogue
The guitar spindles into darkness
Ace....Van Halen....Yngwie and George Lynch. The Mt. Rushmore of guitarists!
Steve Vai? Angus Young? Glenn Tipton? Me?
@@Daniel-Weaver 😂 lol...I've heard of the others but not you bro. Those 3 you mentioned are awesome (especially Angus) but if I had to pick a 5th it would probably be Warren de Martini from Ratt, or maybe Slash from GnR.
Shit,PAGE,BLACKMORE,GIBBONS, IOMMNI.JEFF BECK,SRV,PERRY,ROY CLARK,,I am not saying your Boyz can't play but these musicians are rock gods
Star child my favorite ❤
God bless Tommy T, but he will never be as cool as Ace,,,,or play like him,,,,listen to the solo at the beginning of Strutter,,, those squawking notes ,, damn ,,, the body language, moves and stage presence ... can be imitated but not duplicated. Legendary!
Ace rules
Ace Frehly
Best solos wow
the first 4+ minutes were friggin awesome
The impression i have after watching this is that Ace is somewhere in between Jake White and LiL Wayne. 🎯
Never understood why almost e very Ace solo has the old outdated video effects. His showmanship is much better than any effect.
ACE is God！
I ❤️ ACE！
i think Ace sounds better than Slash
wow that's a very insightful comment...how can you say just sounds?, what about technique?...
+guillermo kuri yo calm down man i was only joking. they both sound good.😑
Actually I agree
Aaron Johnson well at least YOU agree with me.😃
you are 100% correct...ACE IS A DISGRACE TO THE GUITAR AND MUSIC IN GENERAL...THE AVERAGE, AND I SAY VERY AVERAGE 12-13YO NOODLING AROUND AT THE GUITAR CENTER BLOWS ACE FREHLEY AWAY..THE GUY SUCKS AND HE'S JUST LUCKY THAT HE WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO BE A MEMBER OF AN ICONIC ROCK BAND....HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT ANYWHERE ELSE, THE GUY HAS ZERO TALENT, ZERO, TECHNIQUE, AND ZERO CREATIVITY...AND ZERO PLUS ZERO IS ZEEEEEROOOOO!!! AND HE'S A BIGOT ASSHOLE TO BOOT, THERE ARE JUST NO REDEEMING QUALITIES ABOUT THE GUY....HE'S JUST THE LUCKIEST, SUCKIEST WAANA BE GUITAR PLAYER EVER....
Ace your awesome talent
