    Killer solo. 👍 The Alive III lineup was a band unto itself. You can pluck that era from the entirety of KISStory and it stands on its own as a powerhouse of 80s hard rock. We love ya, Bruce!

    Only respect and admiration for Bruce. Always humble and with a good (not at all rock star) attitude.
    Without a doubt, he should've been Ace's replacement in 82'. They would've avoided the embarrassing years of Vincent and St.John.

    • @stevencolon1723

      I think Ace once said that Bruce was the best choice to replace him cause he played all the old songs while putting a lot of his own personally and style into them.

      I don’t think vinny was a mistake because kiss’s best 80s albums happened during his tenure, but mark was by far a mistake, a big piece of the animalize shitshow. Look at live footage from that time, they are dressed like hookers with no dignity

      As a technical player of course. Ace didn't know a lot but his playing style and licks fit the song and sounded great.
      Ace and Tommy couldn't play this song with their fixed bridge Les Pauls. They would have to learn it on guitars equipped with trem systems to sound like the original recording.

    • @MrOccyc
      @MrOccyc 4 года назад +4

      Deucealive75 ..... totally agree with you. It’s hard to explain in a short sentence, but Ace’s style had emotion. Sometimes, it’s about the notes that aren’t played.

    • @freepressright
      @freepressright 5 месяцев назад

      @siberiaenfhesm Here are some valid points. CC has improved, absolutely. 1. He isn't 70 yet. And 2. He lives an exponentially healthier lifestyle than he ever did before. Which, point number 2 goes to the heart of why some folks degrade faster than others.
      Let's look at the ones who pickled their bodies with booze and dope. Ace Frehley became markedly worse from his peak in the late 70s to even the mid 1990s reunion.
      His playing was less accurate, notably sloppier in many ways, his phrasing was not as clean and much more wonky, and at times his live solos sounded like background noise at Guitar Center.
      These days, he's so awful that some shows he struggles to play his own parts correctly. He's over 70, and it's a miracle he has made it that far with all the substance he ingested.
      Similarly, Jimmy Page saw a marked decline in his playing, from his peak in the 1970s. The reason for that probably had a lot to do with heroin and other substance.
      Watch some clips of early Zeppelin and then watch some live footage from the early 80s. There are times his playing is so bad that you think it has to be an overdubbed parody.
      That's substance accelerating a players decline. Now, let's talk about general aging.
      Playing is an exercise of strength, fine motor skills and also the condition of joints. An aging player can begin experiencing arthritic conditions earlier than others, or muscle/strength loss, or diminished fine motor skills.
      That can happen in their 50s or in their 70s. It all depends on multiple factors. Everyone's health -- anatomy and endocrinology, is different.
      I love Angus Young. He's my favorite. But listen to him struggle on the last tour to be able to pick the main riff to Riff Raff without missed notes and pick clunking.
      Recent footage of Knopfler shows he's not nearly as fluid and his sultans of swing phrasing isn't as sharp or fiery.
      Gary Richrath of REO was struggling with his own licks in Flying Turkey Trot in the years after he was out on his own.
      The ability to be your old self on a guitar can absolutely impacted by age. Those who take care of themselves or practice their asses off (like Neal Schon) fare better than others on the aging curve affecting their playing. Neal plays his guitar constantly. A body must stay in motion as it ages.

    I got into Kiss around 1980, my first album was Alive 2, mind-blowing... My first Kiss gig was in '83 with Vinnie, mind-blowing.. saw them on most tours of U.K. after that but what sticks out above all that was how great Bruce was and how well he conducted himself throughout his time with the band. His playing was always spot on with some of the most tasty playing not just within the Kiss setting but anywhere, he was and is great, never should Bruce's role in the band be downplayed by anyone. That's my thoughts anyway....
