Go to the 1:00 (1 minute) mark of the video and watch Gene's face and reaction when Ace plays those classic lead licks. He was impressed. It was almost like he was watching Ace to see how he would perform and then realized that he hadn't heard it played that way in years. He 'felt' it. Tommy can play the notes...but it is different when coming from Ace's fingers. Tommy is a superior guitar player than Ace. But these songs have/need Ace's touch.
FPChris Gene can still sing and play really good. Ace can’t do either anymore like he used to. Yes Ace was always a sloppy guitar player but he was the sound of KISS
@@michaelr.4878 Superior guitar player I don't know about that...... I love ace and Tommy can't imitate him properly. The only Kiss guitarist imo that was a better technical player was Bruce Kulick ,or Vinnie Vincent.
I totally agree with you,,,hope they have resolved all past issues,,, would love to see Ace on the End of the road tour,,can't wait till March 12 Louisville KY show..🎶🎼👅🎸
Damn, Ace really ripped into that solo! Nice job. Gene's "singing" style obviously isn't as demanding as Paul's...he half sings/half shouts in a low register, but it's still impressive that he can bring it at almost 70 years old.
Actually, Gene's timbre sounds different to Paul's but a lot of his songs DO go into Paul's range, and Gene has done some stunning surprising work here and there. And yes, at 69, he's killing it.
My brother Jason GEISSLER right hand corner, week after the 2022 SYDNEY SHOW, he died heart attack 4 September Father’s Day. Thank you to my secret friend who treasures him sending me this link. He got Genes bass guitar 🎸 on this show, met his two favourite musicians in KISS. I cried my heart out last night after the show’s Beth and Shandi, now these musicians legends are my family and my forever moments and childhood memories. I will always love you brother, I will forever do everything to keep our KISS happiness going. I just really wish you were he to laugh it out with me, Rock & Roll in heaven always 🤘🏻🖤🎸💋
I agree, Paul has lost his voice so bad that it hurts to hear him sing. Paul said in his book that Eric Singer helps out with a lot of the singing when Paul sings. Paul needs to just be present with the band and NOT sing. Gene has not lost his touch and if Kiss came to an end and Gene kept going using Ace, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Bruce Kulick now and then, that would be way better.
Ace really ripped on that solo, possibly his best ever on RnR All Nite. Awesome. He's in shape, playing better than ever, really think Gene has been in his ear to possibly do a final tour or something in a year or two.
Tate Thompson....sadly, criminally actually...it is the ego maniac who has been to date refusing to do a final 'final' tour......it's going to take ALL of Gene's will and force of a no brainer win win all round common sense argument to convince the once great front man Stanley who REFUSES to bring this generationally influential guitarist back....I mean fuck WE the fans but that's the reality....PS is the stopper on any final tour...power of veto.
I don't think Peter could tour. Drumming is far too physical at his age when not in touring shape, plus his wrists, shoulders etc. If they did decide to do something like a final tour with the original line up, it'd probably be 1-2 shows a week with a few days in between and maybe 20 shows all together.
The shirt that ace frehley wears is an exclusive karisma design made in silver Argentina, I use it all over the world since 2017 designed by gino ruiz on facebook
Waited over a decade to see these two jam again....WOW...Just FKN amazing.....They fit right back into place ....It’s like putting on a pair of your older but favorite pair of jeans
Now this is awesome. I genuinely feel the guys were happy here. You can feel it. And the looks at Gene's guys smiling at Ace, like this was a bucket list moment for them. I was KISS fan even before Van Halen and on my LIVE show I talk about KISS a lot. Just happy to see this and hope more comes of it.
This is why I love guitar solos. Every now and then you look up and go "God damn, he just KILLED IT". And he did. That R and R All Night solo included a part I just played back three times!
Kiss fan for 45 years now...and those two songs sounded as fresh as they did 45 years ago. Ace slayed those solos and Gene face agreed with my assessment. IMHO, Ace is the sound of KISS...just saying.
Beano1eye...okay, okay, it was release around Easter 1975 if my ossified brain recalls correctly. My point was that mid-1970's sound is alive and well in this video...it is as fresh now as it was then.
edwads74 I don’t care who Paul Stanley bashes, and hates because it’s his rights. Ace, and Gene get a long which is great but KISS should have always gotten along because that’s the point of being in a band
the point of being in a band is to make music. i dealt with that crap for years of not getting along with other musicians, before falling into "life" forever. it is a myth that bandmembers get along and are best of friends. i mean they get along to some point of course.
Not Sure Yes and he was very lazy, and drank a lot of alcohol to carry KISS’s equipment which is why KISS had to stop letting Ace carry equipment for KISS
They all do it to each other some weird thing they do. They all talk shite about each other but you can tell Ace and Gene are close just because how much Gene has him at his shows.
To everyone who says ace can’t play needs to watch this!! Still my favorite guitar player; and reason I started playing!!! Yes I drink the blue kool aid!!!!!🤘🏼
That was just plain cool. KISS is all about the fans. Don't care to hear negativity or gossip, when it comes down to it, KISS is part of our American Pop Culture forever
The two of them together sounds better than anything I've heard with Paul in a long time. Plus, the interaction between Gene and Ace is great. They make a great team.
this is real rock and blues i been on this earth 49 years!!!!!! to day i look into kiss wow i love it and now i know where "Nothin' but a Good Time" by Poison
This is gold - seen the show In Brisbane - you could close your eyes and it sounded like Stanley was singing on all The Stanley related songs - awesome to see Ace and Gene ripping it up !!!!
Ace and Gene seem to be having a lot of fun in this! Even though they might hate each other, they're both legends! And when they play together, it's awesome!
What a show!! Should be the new KISS going forward. A true dig towards Paul when Gene says: "I need your help singing, I'm 69 & have lost my voice!" Gene keeping it real.
I know right. The makeup was cool in the 70s, and I love watching the old vids. But, shit, for the price of modern Kiss prices, I would so much rather go to this. Listen to to this, and then listen to anything between '75 - '79, it sounds the exact same.
This was good. Say what you want about Gene, but that was nice bringing all of those people on stage. Ace still nailing it. Gene to his credit doesn't sound bad.
I was at the Melbourne show and it was brilliant! I think Gene should continue touring with this band. The finale was Let Me Go Rock 'N' Roll and Rock and Roll all Nite. I am sure the guy standing next to Gene with the beanie and beard was at the Melbourne show too on stage.
My respect for Gene just grew big time. They sound great. Never a Stanley fan. My two favorite Kiss players since I was a boy. These two are the heavy rock that Kiss once was.
Those other three guitar players were thinking to themselves damn I can't believe we are sharing the stage with the legendary Ace Frehley. That one guitar player wearing the head band couldn't stop smiling. Nice work Ace.
It's pretty obvious to me Kiss is far better off without Paul Stanley. After reading Pauls book I now understand how much trouble he's created in HIS own band.
WTF? Without Paul, there would never have been a Kiss to start with, or to keep it going throughout the years. And Paul's book proves this over and over.
Primarily, Paul was the SONGS. He wrote more of them than the others, and many, many Kiss classics are his writing. The band likely wouldn't have made it without his material. That said, I would agree his attitude is off putting sometimes, and the idea of a Kiss *power trio*, with Peter and Ace getting their fair share of the vocals, is really kind of fun to imagine.
John Hernandez.wow you really added value dip shit..........Ace's hair was still on his fucking head way into his 50's wanker....as opposed to MOST of the other rock players who wear absurd wigs, Stanley's hair went in/around 1982, Gene's had a transplant yet all you can comment is on Paul 'Ace' Frehley's wig? SpaceAce had to wear one around 2012........so fucking what? Can he still weave his magic? his iconic vibrato? gets people through the gates? Fuck yeah. You fucking tool......fuck off wanker....and what have YOU ever done in life I wonder? what will be YOUR legacy I wonder? Sweet fuck all.....jealousy drips tool....LMFAO...
i like how Ace is wearing an Ace t-shirt
I'll bet Gene got the royalty from Ace's shirt
That's a Tommy Thayer shirt. It's nice to see Ace honoring the great Tommy Thayer.
@@OD138 Its actually an Ace Shirt. The makeup style of Ace in the shirt is from the Dynasty Era.
Alan Lloyd Me to
He even have an Ace Frehley tattoo for fucks sake
Gene constantly watches Ace. I can see nothing but love and admiration in his eyes.
Well said !! I see it too!
He saw sober Ace as never before. Hope they can connect again after KISS
Ace is a legend. Gene actually sounds good and they seem to be having fun.

keefriff99 ace the guitar master of kiss.without ace there
S no kiss.
keefriff99 Gene is gonna be 70 next year as we know

It just sounds so right with Ace and his unique style
The man who inspired 1000's of kids to pick up a guitar...
Even the other band members were impressively watching Ace during his Duece solo.

The Gene Simmons band with Ace is the new KISS ! The Band looks and sounds great! 🤘🤘
I get to see them play in Nashville just about every week when they are not touring with Gene. I am so lucky.
I agree, Paul has lost his voice so bad that it hurts to hear him sing. Paul said in his book that Eric Singer helps out with a lot of the singing when Paul sings. Paul needs to just be present with the band and NOT sing. Gene has not lost his touch and if Kiss came to an end and Gene kept going using Ace, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Bruce Kulick now and then, that would be way better.
Tony Witt Gene Simmons’s band with Ace is way better than what KISS are doing now
@@maxviews6794 I can vouch for this. Saw Ace with these guys in Pensacola the other night, and they sound FAR better than KISS does these days!
Way better then the Current Kiss Line Up w/Edith Bunker on Vocals
Ace really ripped on that solo, possibly his best ever on RnR All Nite. Awesome. He's in shape, playing better than ever, really think Gene has been in his ear to possibly do a final tour or something in a year or two.
He already said 2019 but hasn't said who will be in the line up. Pretty sure Ace will be there.
Tate Thompson....sadly, criminally actually...it is the ego maniac who has been to date refusing to do a final 'final' tour......it's going to take ALL of Gene's will and force of a no brainer win win all round common sense argument to convince the once great front man Stanley who REFUSES to bring this generationally influential guitarist back....I mean fuck WE the fans but that's the reality....PS is the stopper on any final tour...power of veto.

You must be kidding...
Ace sonds great im happy for him for alot of us ace was our first guitar hero its nice to see him enjoying himself
Ace and Gene - The perfect combo! Ace and Gene,Rock n Roll Brothers Forever!!!
Ace will ALWAYS be the BEST of KISS!!!💖
Exactly ALWAYS
Not since the Reunion Tour, both Ace Frehley and Gene Simmons on stage together doing a classic Kiss song!!.
No, actually they did 4 songs together on stage a few months ago. It's here on RUclips,
actually, they did it on the farewell tour and pyscho circus tour as well....
LOL. Good catch!!!
Martin Patrick They did it in Minneapolis/St Paul last year (2017)
Just amazing
This sounded like a real rock band
I like the shirt Ace is wearing- nice touch!
Can't wear the makeup never said anything about a shirt.
Ha ha, that's right!
NightWarriorAlive Agreed
The shirt that ace frehley wears is an exclusive karisma design made in silver Argentina, I use it all over the world since 2017 designed by gino ruiz on facebook

Ace ROCKED it! The band sounds great!
Ace Frehley is a guitar god
OH YES
Now this is awesome. I genuinely feel the guys were happy here. You can feel it. And the looks at Gene's guys smiling at Ace, like this was a bucket list moment for them. I was KISS fan even before Van Halen and on my LIVE show I talk about KISS a lot. Just happy to see this and hope more comes of it.
Gene looking on approvingly while Ace kicks ass, cuz he's cleaned his act up and is on top of his game!
Simmons and Frehley true legends
Ace is the coolest, period!!!!!!
This is why I love guitar solos. Every now and then you look up and go "God damn, he just KILLED IT". And he did. That R and R All Night solo included a part I just played back three times!
Gene’s voice just gets better and better.
Adam Aroeste Word! If you look at videos from the 70’s it pretty bleak compared to today.
Adam Aroeste Agreed
Ace is a legendary figure. He should be in the band that his talent made famous...
Kiss fan for 45 years now...and those two songs sounded as fresh as they did 45 years ago. Ace slayed those solos and Gene face agreed with my assessment. IMHO, Ace is the sound of KISS...just saying.
Rock n Roll All Nite must've been real fresh since it wasn't even written 45 years ago!
Beano1eye...okay, okay, it was release around Easter 1975 if my ossified brain recalls correctly. My point was that mid-1970's sound is alive and well in this video...it is as fresh now as it was then.
Ace is king 🤘😎
OMG Ace looks half his age and plays like he is still 25---wow !!
David Pearl LOL. I don’t know about the “half his age” part, but he’s awesome regardless.
you can tell Ace and Gene actually get along, it is really Paul that creates all the negative tension. and it really is Paul's band.
edwads74 I don’t care who Paul Stanley bashes, and hates because it’s his rights. Ace, and Gene get a long which is great but KISS should have always gotten along because that’s the point of being in a band

edwads74 Yes But It’s also important to get along with band members
It wasn't always the case. Ace Frehley was a bit of a handful back in the day.
Not Sure Yes and he was very lazy, and drank a lot of alcohol to carry KISS’s equipment which is why KISS had to stop letting Ace carry equipment for KISS
Holy shite that stab at Paul I am 69 and I've lost my voice.
It must be embarrassing for Gene to stand onstage and listen to him yowling off-key for 2 hours. I'm sure the money helps ease the pain, but still...
I think he was joking that he needed help to bring those other people out
lee graves
I noticed that, Paul deserves it, he has ripped every member of Kiss
They all do it to each other some weird thing they do. They all talk shite about each other but you can tell Ace and Gene are close just because how much Gene has him at his shows.
I think they know Paul is out of Kiss..
Ace is back. Holy crap he smoked the solo on RNRAN.
To everyone who says ace can’t play needs to watch this!! Still my favorite guitar player; and reason I started playing!!! Yes I drink the blue kool aid!!!!!🤘🏼
That was just plain cool.
KISS is all about the fans.
Don't care to hear negativity or gossip, when it comes down to it, KISS is part of our American Pop Culture forever
listening to 'Space Invader' today - Ace has still got it in spades! Gene looks like he's having fun too. Thanks for putting the video up!
The two of them together sounds better than anything I've heard with Paul in a long time. Plus, the interaction between Gene and Ace is great. They make a great team.
I like the dig gene gives about losing his voice
"I'm 69 and I've lost my voice" SHOTS FIRED!
Memories of the Love Gun Tour, with four young members rocking the house!!!.
Ben There, Done That...Jan 25th 1978, Buffalo NY!
Thanks for posting, awesome!
this is real rock and blues i been on this earth 49 years!!!!!! to day i look into kiss wow i love it and now i know where "Nothin' but a Good Time" by Poison
I hope Gene continues to do shows with this band. It's fresh, relaxed and most importantly, he still has his voice.
I saw Ace in February this year and he is fing awesome! Better than ever!
I got to see reunion tour 96. Still have the T-shirt. Break it out every now and then just to show people who I grew up listening to when I was a kid.
Ace has some of the best phrasing in the business! Great tone too on this one!!
Gene & Ace....We meet again! Grew up with KISS! Awesome group in the 70's and still Going...
Good to see Gene and Ace performing together.....true musicians.........
Such a great night of pure rock'n'roll. I hope they do it again.
Awesome! Love and gene together.
So cool of Gene to do this..he is really a great guy! Rock On!!
Love seeing them jam and having fun. This is better than the current Kiss. Rock and roll!!!
That blistering lead still gives me the chills. Ace Frehley lead guitar!! Nothing else to say.
Sounds great, love seeing these guys together!
This is gold - seen the show In Brisbane - you could close your eyes and it sounded like Stanley was singing on all The Stanley related songs - awesome to see Ace and Gene ripping it up !!!!
I feel like at the end of the day, Gene would love to have Ace back in the band, and Paul just won't let go of the past.
Memories of the original band man gene and ace sound like the original band too bad ace missed the last two shows did in NYC at MSG.
Ace and Gene seem to be having a lot of fun in this! Even though they might hate each other, they're both legends! And when they play together, it's awesome!
What a show!! Should be the new KISS going forward. A true dig towards Paul when Gene says: "I need your help singing, I'm 69 & have lost my voice!" Gene keeping it real.
Fantastic GeneAnd Ace.
I would much rather see Gene and Ace do Kiss than Gene and Paul.
I know right. The makeup was cool in the 70s, and I love watching the old vids. But, shit, for the price of modern Kiss prices, I would so much rather go to this. Listen to to this, and then listen to anything between '75 - '79, it sounds the exact same.
Definitely.
The true KISS is Ace, Peter, Paul and Gene, in that order :)
@@pleilleur + No way.... but thats just my opinion. I would go Paul, Ace, Gene and Peter.
Amen!!!!
ACE kicks ass !!!! The guitar GOD on stage !!!! Love you sp'ACE man 💚💙💜
Ace is a awesome legend and sounds awesome with Gene again Ace needs back in the band with Gene having a wonderful time with each other on stage
Puts a smile on my face
Love Ace's shirt, that is the way you represent!
Priceless...
Sounds amazing!
watching this makes me smile with my whole body :)
Coolest. Concert footages.
Soooooooooooooooooo
😎 cool playing music
With the fans .sounds. Excellent. 😃
My FAVORITE KISS song.
What a great party! This is exactly what KISS shows should be. Great band, guest appearances, audience members on stage...
This was good. Say what you want about Gene, but that was nice bringing all of those people on stage. Ace still nailing it. Gene to his credit doesn't sound bad.
ACE'S ACE 4 what IT IS as GENE TOO, both R AMAZ.G 😊🎸🎶🎙🎼🎵🔊
They sound amazing
Gene is singing awesome!!
This has to be the coolest experience one could have with Rock legends
I was at the Melbourne show and it was brilliant! I think Gene should continue touring with this band. The finale was Let Me Go Rock 'N' Roll and Rock and Roll all Nite. I am sure the guy standing next to Gene with the beanie and beard was at the Melbourne show too on stage.
Ace still sounds exactly like Ace. He kicks ass.
It’s nice to see Gene and Ace enjoying playing together again. I think they really enjoy these smaller shows.
Ace totally shredded the solo in rock n roll all nite!! Awesomeness
my god ace is just perfect here
And to think Ace is actually a plumber! Phenomenal!
No, he's a Trout player!
AWK!
My 2 favorite members together at last
My respect for Gene just grew big time. They sound great. Never a Stanley fan. My two favorite Kiss players since I was a boy. These two are the heavy rock that Kiss once was.
Awsome shred Ace. Gene...ya did pretty darn good too...
Everyone up on stage for rock n roll all night.. this is KISS
that sounded incredible!
Ace has always been my favorite
👍🎸 4 Gitarristen und Gene am Bass ✌️ das hat ordentlich Power. Ace hat es immer noch drauf.
Those other three guitar players were thinking to themselves damn I can't believe we are sharing the stage with the legendary Ace Frehley. That one guitar player wearing the head band couldn't stop smiling. Nice work Ace.
Awesome
Gene! Ace! 最高！
My favorite half of KISS right here
Ace is and always will be the sound of KISS. #spaceace
Gene needs to leave Kiss and form a non makeup rockin' band with Ace, Bruce and perhaps even Vinnie as a guest sometimes.
Yes. Vinnie as the special guest!
edwads74 yeah, Vinnie could sell popcorn in the break between bands.
Fuck Vinny!
@@jimkalfakis9893 FUCK VINNY GENE ONLY NEED ACE AND HIM GET A GOOD DRUMMER AND A ANOTHER GUITARIST THATS ALL THEY NEED
Vinnie is absolute trash now sadly, used to be a fucking legend at guitar, but he’s lost almost all his talent
