Ace was definitely clowning Gene after a couple songs, the way he flipped him off after She was hilarious. And his response was epic. Rocket Ride is one of the best throwaways KISS recorded.
Looks like Paul's mic was going out so they winged it, I'm guessing? Anyway, Paul was calling out songs too. Wasn't just Ace. But, Ace's look and response to Gene at the beginning of Rocket Ride is priceless.
I think it was Gene and Paul wanted to only do their songs in this jam. Ace pulled a fast one and said fuck we are doing she. Gene then then got pissed and said this shit too Ace.
Ace took the reigns! He jammed through the dry spot. Gene and Paul you guys are awesome. But give credit where credit is due! you don't knock Ace for taking that and running with it. That is one of the most awesome performances I have ever seen. Good job Ace!
I just wish that he had communicated the Rocket Ride stoppage for Eric, the way he did it wasn't intuitive at all. At 04:55 he could've looked at Eric and done the descending notes variation, holding on to the last one the way the song ends on the record (not counting the separate drum fills and licks after that).
I don't hate Tommy, not even close, but Ace... COME ON this guy is a God, the licks and the riffs and the solos just sound right, you know? Tommy can play them good but not as good as Ace, the guy just owns it. Eric is having the time of his life. I wish this line up was still til this day, best line up ever! And by the way, Mr. Speed riff is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard, so beautiful, so good
Mr. Speed sounded great at the end of that clip. And for all of you Ace and Peter lovers, neither one of them would not have gotten anywhere had they not met Gene and Paul. And don't get me wrong I love and miss the original Band from ther prime but the reason for KISS's success is the drive and determination of Paul and Gene.
I used to agree with a lot of the hate towards the BS Ace and Peter would pull that ultimately screwed them with the band...but Uncle Ace is growing on me for sheer balls and honesty...
There was a disagrement over money, well basicly Peter decided he wanted more cash and thought they would have to because no one could take his place and Gene and Paul called his bluff and he then returned for the Alive 4 tour and the world domination tour with aerosmith(which was with tommy thayer
I agree that original members of any band is best. Like....what would the Beatles have been without RIngo. Or what would the Eagles have been without Don Henley. The most important are the contributing members. The ones who do the writing / arranging.
@@BlackDiamond1967 You and I both know Ace is average at best. Would have been completely different if he would have progressed past 1979, but he didn't. Weren't you disappointed in 96 when he kept messin everything up. I was shocked he was so sluggish.
@@whataboutrob442 both you guys are acting stupid , was ace the most talented?... probably not but theirs been a lot of people to look up to him, not to mention the impersonator.... you may onow him as tommy Thayer, get over bitching at ace and just be glad you got to see the originals on one last tour , i am ... 96 was a really decent year
+Jon Gene could never play, but he worked hard to become a great bass player. I love KISS, I just wish Gene would shut the fuck up. But his smart ass comment "What does the Ace Frehley band want to do next?"" is very enlightening. As in Ace was the only musical force that made KISS even slightly respectable. Ace's guitar, Peter's drumming (a MUCH under-appreciated drummer) - and Gene and Paul's voices.
@@haywoodyoudome Too rehearsed obviously. I think with Ace it is more of a power play. He can't stand playful Ace and calls him out like the bully he is.
This is no different than Peter purposely sabotaging the timing of the song. Ace knew he was getting under Gene's skin and kept going. Glad they never gave Ace or Peter another full time shot.
@@dkyelak 6 years late and all but I think the reason for that is that even though they tune down a half step, they still think of chord positions like they're still in regular tuning.
I saw a KISS cover band quite a few years ago here in my hometown. They went by the name Mr. Speed. There was a point in the set where they asked for requests from lesser-played KISS songs and I yelled out "MR. SPEED!" Seems obvious, but they didn't know it, except for the lead guitarist.
@@glakhmed that is hilarious and probably an embarrassing moment for them. I'm sure they still kicked ass though. My dad was the "Ace" of the Canadian tribute "Fried Alive"
To me it’s like Batman or something, Yeah other people may have adopted his persona but no one is Batman like Bruce Wayne, just like no ones the spaceman like Ace Frehley
I LOVE how when Gene says "what does the Ace Frehley band wanna do next?" right away, Ace rolls into his own Rocket Ride and looks at the completly lost Gene... while Singer smiles :)) Wonderful moment!

Just like the Tom Snyder show...Ace steals the show while Gene and Paul look like deer in the headlights. Paul: "how's this for a deep cut?!" *plays "Strutter"* Facepalm.
4:20 Gene totally pissed... Paul says to him What does the Ace Frehley band wanna do next? Gene repeats it out loud... 4:31 Problem, Gene Simmons? and that look though 4:40 Eric: this is gonna be fun
Great choice ACE for giving the sh*t back to Gene. After all Gene and Paul never played Rocket Ride and had no clue. That's why ACE calls out "G". Play in "G". hahahahahahahaha The egotistical bas**rd.
@tonykimble3848 i dont think many people agree with that sentiment. All four guys contributed to the original group and deserve recognition but Peter was not the driving force by any means
Vinnie, was a talented writer and composer. His playing was good, but overall, Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr are the best all around Musicians KISS has employed. I'm a huge Ace fan and credit him with my desire to play guitar. On guitar, Kulick blows them both away. St.John was a similar player to Vinnie. Vinnie could have been more, if he had been able to control his Ego.

At least Gene had the dignity to admit what we've all known all along: Ace IS the sound of KISS. Would have been badass if Ace had broke out the ole Rock Soldiers riff.
gene has flubbed lyrics, entire songs, played out of tune, Paul has muffled/dead notes from playing over his head and under his legs, and they have the audacity to blame bad quality on Ace and Peter. Every single Kiss video i have seen, peter and ace play near perfect or ok, and honestly most of the fuckups come from Gene and Paul. Paul and Gene have terrible voices now, so if anyone has compromised Kiss' live performance integrity it has been Paul and Gene, actually.
Michael Keplinger "current"? Ace relearned all of them BEFORE the tour, DUMBass. Gene is a mediocre bassist at best, of course he has no idea of how easy it is to forget a guitar solo if you haven't played it in 15 years. Or he should know, because what happened when he attempted to play the songs he didn't play for 15 years? Oh that's right, he forgot. Hypocrite.
Reading goes a long way, you know? He never once in any way bashed Ace for forgetting the songs before the Reunion Tour. The only thing Gene ever complained about Ace when it comes to forgetting songs, was during the Farewell Tour.
Gene is pissed, he always wants to control everything. ace played just as big of a part as Gene or anyone else did... Keep rocking Ace, Gene quit your crying 😂😂😂
but, but.. eric singer playing with ace frehley? when was that? I thought ace had been the first to leave after the reunion/psycho circus. Then, peter did.. But I guewss I'm wrong, can you help me on this one?
Francisco Aglairton Peter didn't renew his contract after the US leg of the Farewell Tour at the end of 2000. So they brought Eric in to play the dates in 2001 in Japan and Australia. Ace left shortly after that and Tommy Thayer came in. Then Peter came back in 2003 and left in 2004 when Eric returned.
As much as I love Peter, you cannot deny that Eric Singer is an incredible drummer!! This was a fun clip to watch. Nice to see them all having fun on stage.
Funny how Gene got pissed with Ace taking the limelight. And then insult to injury, Paul starts playing Mr. Speed and Gene forgets how to play it and is completely lost. Mr Simmons, Ego and arrogance can only take you so far!
to the bin hopefully ,,honestly hes the most revolting undeserving bloke in music,,he shouldve been a promoter of manager ,he looks like a rapist with those horrid leggings and his grinding pelvis ,makes me feel ill just glancing at the dork
Dave Mustaine had the best work for Gene and it wasn't dork. It was Peckerwood. To call Gene a DORK is a compliment cuz dork is a whale penis. Gene is just a peckerwood. hahahaha
@@twikirobot6897 So what, he played it once in 1976 when they recorded it. You act like he should remember everything hes ever played. Don't be such a douche bag.
Eric's face is the best! For a moment he stopped being the drummer to become a fan lol. About Ace, what can I say? Great moment of my all time favorite trout player ever! Without him KISS is sad, period. This man rocks, love Ace 🖤🤟🏻♠️🔥🎶🎸
Steven Hoefgen I'm a big fan of the one and only spaceman Ace Frehley, but dude I can tell somethin, Thayer can write his own songs and own solos.. sometimes lol
Tommy once had to dress as Ace BEFORE he was an official member. Ace was running late and "the show must go on!" Also, Tommy supposedly had to help Ace on relearning licks from songs he hadn't played in a few years but, I still like Ace better!
One January day in 1973, Paul Frehley walked into an audition for a rock band wearing a red sneaker and an orange sneaker, carrying a cased Gibson Les Paul Standard! He plugged into his amp and defined the legendary Kiss sound and forged a rock and roll legacy!
Paul got a little confused at the start, but then he just went "ok then" and started having fun (right when he said "Let's do Strutter") while Gene looked very pissed.
Look, I love Ace & Peter - but Gene & Paul understand what it takes to stay on top - discipline, work ethic, etc....if it weren't for Simmons & Stanley KISS would have disappeared a long time ago.
t4bd8 Gene never left the band. He just did a few movies on the side. He was in Runaway with Tom Selleck, and that was a pretty good movie, or at least I thought so when I was in seventh grade. He was also in some movie where he played a hermaphrodite, and it was kind of stupid. I'm not sure what else he was in, other than Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen the band but as a Kiss fan for 40+ years I must say that every member alive or dead has added to the unparalleled character and longevity of this band. Ace will always be my favourite as the epitome of what a rock star should be but god bless Gene & Paul for keeping the dream alive. Eric Singer and Tommy are both excellent musos and fit in perfectly. I took my daughter to see them on the last UK tour (the best I've seen) and she was instantly a fan. I hope the guys will still be going for years to come so I can take my granddaughter. This band bridges generations and long may they continue!
The magic starts at 4:20 (of course). The look on Aces face when he starts "Rocket Ride". Amazing. Love you ACE!!!!

i watched it over and over and still can not figure what piseed Gene off to begin with? what a dick. You see him flip Ace off even before his comments

I love how Paul just says "fuck it" and then plays Mr. Speed, a song that Gene was so lost in lol
Love to hear the conversation back stage after this one!
Haha Gene on fire....
Yep ...ace telling gene to eat a bag of dicks...
Ilove the way Ace says"shheeee"
Ace you are the heart of KISS (1)
"What does the Ace Frehley band want to do next?" -gene
(Plays Rocket Ride) - Ace
"Okay you've had enough of that..." - Paul
"THATS RIGHT" - Ace
LOL
Ace won.
Eric was having more fun than Ace!!
Eric's grin at the start of Rocket Ride is also priceless!
but, but.. eric singer playing with ace frehley? when was that? I thought ace had been the first to leave after the reunion/psycho circus. Then, peter did.. But I guewss I'm wrong, can you help me on this one?
Francisco Aglairton Peter didn't renew his contract after the US leg of the Farewell Tour at the end of 2000. So they brought Eric in to play the dates in 2001 in Japan and Australia. Ace left shortly after that and Tommy Thayer came in. Then Peter came back in 2003 and left in 2004 when Eric returned.
to put it simply, Ace Frehley 1996-2002. Peter Criss 1996-2000 & again 2002-2004.
Jarod Frank Yeah. The last thing Ace did with Kiss was the Winter Olympics in February of 2002.
I had to go back and look at that. He liked that song choice and was Paul calling out chords to Gene? Wow, just noticed how old this comment was.
As much as I love Peter, you cannot deny that Eric Singer is an incredible drummer!!
This was a fun clip to watch. Nice to see them all having fun on stage.
Funny how Gene got pissed with Ace taking the limelight. And then insult to injury, Paul starts playing Mr. Speed and Gene forgets how to play it and is completely lost. Mr Simmons, Ego and arrogance can only take you so far!
to the bin hopefully ,,honestly hes the most revolting undeserving bloke in music,,he shouldve been a promoter of manager ,he looks like a rapist with those horrid leggings and his grinding pelvis ,makes me feel ill just glancing at the dork
Dave Mustaine had the best work for Gene and it wasn't dork. It was Peckerwood. To call Gene a DORK is a compliment cuz dork is a whale penis. Gene is just a peckerwood. hahahaha
Gene's never played the song in his life...and probably doesn't even remember it.
@@twikirobot6897 So what, he played it once in 1976 when they recorded it. You act like he should remember everything hes ever played. Don't be such a douche bag.
@@whataboutrob442 get over it and stop commenting on every single post, you like gene others like ace, just stfu and move on
Eric's face is the best! For a moment he stopped being the drummer to become a fan lol.
About Ace, what can I say? Great moment of my all time favorite trout player ever!
Without him KISS is sad, period.
This man rocks, love Ace 🖤🤟🏻♠️🔥🎶🎸
Gene was pissed when Tom said he played bass and Ace said he played trout, and kept it up during the interview 🤣🤣 love Ace.🤘
5:16 Mr. Speed sounds so good here
Ace was totally feeling “mr.speed” he looked like he was having fun with that one
Nice shot to whoever threw the object at Gene's head @ 3:17
YouDummy hahahaha I never noticed that!!!
Fuckin a, fuck Gene
ACE FREHLEY LEAD GUITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!
YEAH!!!!!!
OW HEY!
Tommy Thayer's too job scared to do what Ace did in this video...
Ace Frehley...FTW!
Tommy doesn't have the same issues.
dkyelak and Tommy can write his own songs; your point?
Steven Hoefgen Yes, he can
Steven Hoefgen I'm a big fan of the one and only spaceman Ace Frehley, but dude I can tell somethin, Thayer can write his own songs and own solos.. sometimes lol
Tommy once had to dress as Ace BEFORE he was an official member. Ace was running late and "the show must go on!" Also, Tommy supposedly had to help Ace on relearning licks from songs he hadn't played in a few years but, I still like Ace better!
So am I reading this right. Gene was getting pissed that Ace was calling all the songs. Is that why he snapped at him?
Ace, and Paul kept playing songs they knew Gene didn't know and it was pissing him off.
Or should I say "remember"
+twoo57 Tampon Breath was angry? Why didn't he breathe fire like Godzilla at them?
Songs:
0:04 - Parasite
1:16 - New York Groove
1:41 - Strutter
3:02 - She
4:31 - Rocket Ride
5:15 - Mr. Speed
...
That should be their set list to start with now days
One January day in 1973, Paul Frehley walked into an audition for a rock band wearing a red sneaker and an orange sneaker, carrying a cased Gibson Les Paul Standard! He plugged into his amp and defined the legendary Kiss sound and forged a rock and roll legacy!
It was actually a Gibson reverse firebird.
He surely did. That was an awesome day in music history
I don't believe it was any sort of gibson, back then he couldn't afford 1
The way that Ace interrupted Paul...it was like he was saying "Hey, Paul! Shut up, and rock already"!!!
Finish him! ...Ace starts playing Rocket Ride... Ace wIns! Fatality!
Paul got a little confused at the start, but then he just went "ok then" and started having fun (right when he said "Let's do Strutter") while Gene looked very pissed.
Look, I love Ace & Peter - but Gene & Paul understand what it takes to stay on top - discipline, work ethic, etc....if it weren't for Simmons & Stanley KISS would have disappeared a long time ago.
They should have disappeared a long time ago. What they have now is a crock of shit.
if it wasn't for paul , paul was the one who kept it going gene had a movie career paul stayed with the band
t4bd8
Gene never left the band. He just did a few movies on the side. He was in Runaway with Tom Selleck, and that was a pretty good movie, or at least I thought so when I was in seventh grade. He was also in some movie where he played a hermaphrodite, and it was kind of stupid. I'm not sure what else he was in, other than Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.
I'd rathey dissolve while on top then to descend to the garbage they're now.
sometime you wonder gene simmons and his kick your but talk makes me wonder its like your not all that your a rockstar shout up and sing
I would have loved to have been back stage after the show...
Ace's look at Gene. If looks could kill.
Ace frehley RULES.
Hehe gotta love the way Eric smiles when they start on rocket ride
Ace completely took over!
He shut Paul off before he was done talking to start the song Parasite, he auditioned with. It went down hill from there 🤣🎸🤘
Ace is amazing! !!!!!!!
4:33 If looks could kill! XD
ejjjejejejejjjeje¡
Gene could never play Ace's bass line anyway
Lol that's the sad part, Ace wanted to play bass on his own songs cause he thought gene sucked
+Jack Sack of hairy tirds woah woah woah has ace played bass on some of his songs?
Chris Clark Ace played bass on Parasite, Rocket Ride, Torpedo Girl and he played bass on some of his 1978 solo album.
Parasite on the hotter than hell album?
I’d love to have seen this show. They sound like a cover band doing the 2:00am slot at some dive bar. Ace Frehley Band, indeed!
I've lost count of how many times I've seen the band but as a Kiss fan for 40+ years I must say that every member alive or dead has added to the unparalleled character and longevity of this band. Ace will always be my favourite as the epitome of what a rock star should be but god bless Gene & Paul for keeping the dream alive. Eric Singer and Tommy are both excellent musos and fit in perfectly. I took my daughter to see them on the last UK tour (the best I've seen) and she was instantly a fan. I hope the guys will still be going for years to come so I can take my granddaughter. This band bridges generations and long may they continue!
