Actually it had been building up for awhile prior to this interview, this was just the first time that the public saw them divided, Gene and Paul vs Peter and Ace. By the next album, "Unmasked", Peter quit the band. Ace quit approximately 1 1/2 to 2 years later during the recording of "The Elder".
Peter egged Ace on, and Ace made a complete ass out of himself. Kiss Meets the Phantom was the grenade, and this Late Show appearance was the explosion that destroyed the first version of Kiss.
@@philipdefibaugh5683 But, Ace was hilarious and he admits he was ripped during this and really anytime back then. Paul and Gene did take themselves a little too seriously sometimes and in those colorful theatrical costumes by the end of 1979, on the heels of that ludicrous movie, it all began to be a little absurd.

Gene and Paul were so pissed off by the charismatic personality of Ace and Peter. No matter how hard Gene and Paul tried telling jokes they couldn't compete with Ace lol
Ace and Peter come off as the most like able in this.. Gene is too cool and Paul sometimes comes to his senses and loosens up but he is still uptight.. Ace and Peter are the only two who gave a good interview
If *I was Ace Frehley, on The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder, on Halloween 1979, I CAN GUARANTEE that, at the VERY least, I'd have had a pint of vodka and some grass. I'm gonna JUDGE him?? THE HELL I will. I'd be wasted, too. Not on heroin or coke, but SURE, THE LIGHT STUFF. If you have NO INTOXICATION in your life, cast your stone.
We can hardly hear it but Peter wrote in his book about this show. Gene tried to 'correct' them all the time and to 'manage the situation'. When Ace says that he doesn't do drugs (and sounds ironic), Gene says 'He's kidding.' When Peter is talking about collecting guns, Gene says 'Toy guns.' Also when Peter talks about dreaming about being a gangster, he adds 'In the movies'. Peter also wrote that this was the first time they could show their real selves to the public with Ace. He was fired a few months later.
Ace and Peter were rolling down a mountain of cocaine in this interview. The beginning of the end. But DAMN...this is one of the greatest ROCK interviews EVER
Yo, Gene. You want to be taken so seriously? Wearing makeup and having your face on a million kids lunch kits? I'm team Peter n Ace all the way on this one.
27:01 "The Germans make the best ones at the moment" 🙋🏻♂️ *AUSTRIAN PAINTER SALUTE* Right in front of Gene and Paul... ✡️😡✡️ "Don't do it!" 🐻😆🎸 "I'm not doing anything!" Savage Ace ⭐🌠👨🚀🎸
Did anyone else notice how fast Gene shot Ace down when they were talking about Japanese vs German remote helicopters and Ace wanted to give the Heil Hitler salute??😂
@@KeithK410 Joking about the holocaust is very tasteless (in my opinion anyways, so many people died). I can’t stand Gene but his family was held captive in the holocaust. Gene & Paul both have dealt with antisemitism their whole life. I still love Ace, but I still think it’s pretty f*cked up of him to joke around about that in front of two Jewish men.
09:48 This is a key moment. I can see Peter’s frustration of not being listened to or taken seriously. Gene talks over the top of him and you can see Paul after he cracks his joke look over at Gene and quickly stops joking and becomes serious. If Gene would’ve just gotten a stick out of his ass and enjoyed the interview like everybody else he would’ve been fine.
Exactly. Simmons was the alpha male who treated KISS not like a rock n roll band, but an accounting firm. Stanley was a beta male who followed Gene's lead no matter what. - Imagine being in a rock band in 1979 and your bass player wants nothing but "professionalism" 24/7. - Maybe if Stanley had sided with Frehley and Criss and kicked Gene out of the band they might've made more records together, with better music.
I always come back to watch this interview every year when I think about it lol Ace and Peter were the best part of that band idc what anyone says I think if gene and Paul were as laid back they would have never split the original band up
Amen!!-I saw them three times.Contrary to gene and pauls b.s. over the years-Both Ace and Peter delivered the goods to the fans.In the book,KISS UNMASKED,gene admits that he and paul would take turns"working on peter and Ace"(encouraging them and then belittling them-in short,playing mind games on them! If I was in a situation like that I would drink too.I saw them later in the 80's and it just was not the same.At one time,simmons was one of us(he read conan comic books and watched horror films and said he wanted to make scary films and be the new Lon chaney) By the mid 80's,he morphed into this obnoxious,arrogant money hungry person-enabled by stanley-and in my opinion the magic was gone.
I Remember Watching This Live When It Came Out In 1979. I Was 17 Years Old. Kiss Was And Is One Of My All Time Fav Bands.Was Even In The Kiss Army. Loved This. Man How Time Flies. 😎👍🏻🤘🏻
I may not be a big fan, but after hear this just to see how well they truly are. i would love more then ever to hear their music. in 1979 i was 17 yrs old. Like they say: The show must go on. ...i've been thinking of what they say about superhero, Why not ''The KISS SUPERHERO'S''
The dynamics of their personalities is crystal clear in this interview. Gene wanted so much to be taken seriously. Paul seems a bit torn between what Gene wants and the careless comedy of Peter and Ace. It was easy to see how that couldn't continue. That said, KISS was cutting edge and changed the rock scene forever, but they would have never made it without the gimmickry and makeup. They weren't the most talented band, but they did the most with what they had. I had the opportunity to meet them later in 1987 when they were unmasked. Peter had been replaced by Eric Carr and Ace was replaced by Bruce Kulick. We won tickets to see them in Beaumont, Texas. We also won backstage passes and were supposed to have dinner with the band. Got to meet Paul and Eric. Gene wouldn't even come into the room, and nobody knew where Bruce was. Then the promoters had us between the crowd barrier and the stage and Gene's bodyguard got all bent out of shape about it, so we had to move out from there. The show wasn't good. Wasp opened (those guys were weird), followed by Poison, and then KISS. We ended up just leaving early. On the upside, I got a date with the hot DJ at the radio station.
Wow! I have never watched this til today😂. I was 6 yrs old when this aired. After seeing this I can truly say that Gene Simmons was and is a true hater! Omg I would cringe if I was him. He should be so ashamed of trying to ruin this interview. He obviously cant handle the fact that NOBODY is paying him any attention. His personality sucks! Ace and Peter saved this from being a boring piece. No wonder they wanted them out of the group. Gene and Paul have zero personality aside from the stage.
If this interview had gone the way that Gene and Paul had wanted, a "serious" interview, it would not be as iconic as it is! It would have been just another ordinary KISS interview!
I'm a huge KISS fan! This interview is very famous. Gene and Paul were obviously not digging Ace that night. Tom Snyder, however, seemed to get a kick out of it. Less than a year after this, Peter would leave, thus breaking up the original four. Did you see the recent A&E two-part doc on KISS?
I remember years ago reading about this interview, Gene and Paul saw it as an opportunity to use it as a means to show the general public what KISS was really all about and to be taken seriously but what they didn't count on was a nervous Ace drinking too much champagne backstage! At this point in KISS's career, their relationship with each other was strained and when Peter saw how Ace was behaving, he was enjoying how Gene and Paul had lost control of the interview and he joined Ace in embarrassing them. You can tell in several moments of the interview that Gene and Paul were upset (mostly Gene) but trying to control what they could. Still, it's a classic interview and shows sides of the band rarely seen!
These 4 geniuses pulled the biggest prank in the music biz, turning it into $$. But yeah, the shows were great; just got weird @ the last one ('78), with kids all over the place. Again, fkn geniuses, man.
Honestly, I think some of, not all of Paul's frustration is he can't hear everything. He always sits forward a bit, but he only has a left ear, then you got Ace screeching in it, you're gonna get frustrated. But also, like dude, pull it together. Gene is beyond livid. I'm gonna be honest, as funny as Ace is, and as much as I think Gene is an ass, I too would be annoyed but I hate being around drunk people. I think some of the problem with Kiss is you had 4 guys with very different personalities and it was just a disaster waiting to happen. But Peter seems fun loving but I think even he was trying to tell Ace you need to tone it down or Gene is gonna put his foot in your ass after the show. The whole situation came off as a couple with two sons. The Father (Gene) is gonna kill wayward son, mother (Paul) is trying to hold everybody together in public as if nothing is going on, asshole son (Ace) acting the fool and other son (Peter) trying to be like, "bro, you need to stop or dad is gonna kick your ass when we get home."
What a beautiful modesty' bath they had to take (Gene S. and Paul).. Qué hermoso baño de humildad que se tuvieron que pegar estos dos...Hermoso cuando la arrogancia se tiene que bajar del caballo de esa manera, y bajar a tierra. Muchas veces las risas el humor, colocan las cosas en su lugar.
I never gave this interview much scrutiny, if you want to call it that, until after I watched KISSOLOGY : Volume 2 with the commentary by Gene and Paul. 😮😱 😳 Oh my God. I don't know how the four of them kept it together. Read the No Regrets book by Ace Frehley. That speaks volumes as to what the difference was in that group. Paul Stanley seemed like he could be wild, if willing, but knew when to be serious. Watching this I couldn't tell 🤷 whether Peter was chemically influenced or not. Ace Frehley, however, reveals, in his bio, that he had beer 🍺 when he woke up (that day), champagne in the limo on the way to the interview and more champagne at the studio. What a waste of talent!!!
Send this to any loved one with depression. Ace's laughter cures it.
I cheer myself up to hear Ace Frehley's laugh whenever I feel upset. It always works because Ace's laugh is so funny.
You mean anyone feeling down?
The legend says: when Iron Maiden saw this interview they were so impressed that they wrote a song about it. It's called "Ace is high"
Lmfao gooood one!
Love to hear ''Ace is High''
Proper 👊😎
😂😂😂
Same in Creatures Gene song Saint & Sinner.
you're literally watching the end of Kiss, this was the exact moment when Paul and Gene became a team against anyone else in the band.
Yup
Actually it had been building up for awhile prior to this interview, this was just the first time that the public saw them divided, Gene and Paul vs Peter and Ace.
By the next album, "Unmasked", Peter quit the band.
Ace quit approximately 1 1/2 to 2 years later during the recording of "The Elder".

Just my observations.
Those annoyed looks on Gene’s face is pure gold.
Gene and Paul were so pissed off by the charismatic personality of Ace and Peter. No matter how hard Gene and Paul tried telling jokes they couldn't compete with Ace lol
8:38 Paul: "when you see all these people screaming... and crying and all that"
Ace: "crying... 'aw, i spent all that money'" 😂😂😂
Ace was D.R.U.N.K. Drunk but basically stole the show
Ace and Peter come off as the most like able in this.. Gene is too cool and Paul sometimes comes to his senses and loosens up but he is still uptight.. Ace and Peter are the only two who gave a good interview
According to his book, drank vodka, champagne and was also on coke.
If *I was Ace Frehley, on The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder, on Halloween 1979, I CAN GUARANTEE that, at the VERY least, I'd have had a pint of vodka and some grass. I'm gonna JUDGE him?? THE HELL I will. I'd be wasted, too. Not on heroin or coke, but SURE, THE LIGHT STUFF.

Ace WAS Kiss' answer to the Joker.
Peter was more like the Riddler or maybe the Penguin.
Absolutely... Joaquin Phoenix's version.
More like the 'Plumer'
