I couldn't agree more I love Ace Frehley but sometimes it's hard to listen to him even in this interview This is what happens kids after a long-term drug and alcohol use unfortunately
Love Ace. He is completely responsible for the reason I play guitar. I'm 51 and been playing since I was 12 and because of him I'm playing actively in a band for the last 10 years and going strong. Ace is a inspiration for everyone and his guitar and writing is awesome. I hope I get to meet him one day
The things these KISS guys say abuut each other are hilarious, Ace getting philisophical , Ace has a good heart, Hes also a Taurus. And hes also a plumber.
Ace is a hoot-and a great guitar player. You're probably tired of hearing this, but I really miss That Metal Show. The highlight of my Saturday nights for many years.
There's probably some truth to that, but I worked Sunday mornings and had to get by 11. I wasn't a spring chicken, and I couldn't do that going to work on a couple hours sleep thing.
Ace is totally for real and seems sincere. Paul and Gene have done nothing but put him down for about the past 40 years (excluding the reunion tour, in which they kept their mouths shut and accepted the millions of dollars Ace and Peter helped them to earn.)
Not exactly true. Gene had extended the olive branch to both Ace & Peter when doing the archive tour. He's had Ace play with his solo band in recent years. So not 100% accurate
@@johnnylong1547 Not by definition because he asking for an apology, not money. As much as I don't agree with what Paul said, Ace should stop acting like a 13 year old school girl and move on.
@@BRS-Peterbilt-379 Gene only did that shit so he wouldn’t have to try an entertain by himself. Ace only did it because he wanted to get back in the band. Gene and Paul are dicks 😉
That's bullshit. Ace and Peter have been ripping Gene and Paul for decades. Instead of looking themselves in the mirror and recognizing their mistakes, they point the fingers at the guys who didn't ruin their careers. It was well known that Ace and Peter had to stay sober, and eventually, they didn't.
Coming from a wreck who couldn't sell more than two lousy meet&greets in a legendary club in Los Angeles this month, that's supposed to mean something? rAce wishes he could play his own stuff half as good as Tommy Thayer these days. And TT is an average guitar player who is just bland and unengaging. That's how completely washed-up rAce is. He claims that he's "still successful" and Kiss are not, because they "don't sell out every gig" in 2023. Kiss draws between 8k and 12k audiences per show, despite being as decrepit and stale as they are. rAce draws 500 nostalgic drunks on a good night, with the help of two or three other acts on the bill. He isn't even "still successful" by the standards of his own earlier solo career. His recent supposed "success" was because he opened for Alice Cooper, who can still deliver and has one of the best bands around today. Nobody went to those shows because of rAce Gluefinger.
Does anybody in their right mind believe his story about an imaginary 120-page manuscript filled with dirt that a lawyer has buried inside a top-secret impenetrable safe?
Gene & Paul have been trashing Ace & Peter for over 40 years...Ace is clearly fed up...he's had enough of it, and has kept quiet about it for a long time, and he clearly has been unjustly insulted, and he feels the need to respond in an equal manner to Gene & Paul's constant insults, and the guy definitely has dirt on them, they've known each other for 50+ years....at some point, it needs to stop. Ace is making it clear it needs to stop. He backs it up with a clear message that if they continue to insult him, which hurts him in the business, he's going to put them both on full blast and publically dox and humiliate them so that they will know how it feels for a change. It'll likely be really nasty business. If Gene & Paul have a brain, they'll oblige Ace's request....and if they think Ace is bluffing, it's going to get really ugly.
I can't see how any secrets Ace could have, would have any impact on Gene and Paul's career. Money is already in the bank, so even if it might be interesting to know, it won't hurt them one bit. Unless he's got evidence of murder, we've heard it all before.
If you ask me, Paul, being the actual boss of KISS, is going to ignore Ace. He's going to think Ace is just trying to blackmail him and Gene. I don't know about Paul, but I think a lot about Gene will be about the countless paternity lawsuits by former groupies.
A straight up genuine guy, I love Ace . A totally underrated guitar player, he was the backbone of Kiss, both Gene & Paul knew it. Sure Ace was at times a screw up but has owned up to it. I can't wait until his new album comes out. He is the most successful solo artist from Kiss, for years Gene & Paul have tried repeatedly to throw Ace under the bus, but Ace wasn't taking any shit from them & fought back. Good for Ace!
the way I see it Paul probably said the piss thing on purpose in agreement with Ace to get people talking about their old dramas and boost ticket and book sales. Maybe it'll turn out that Ace actually gets up on stage with them with Tommy Thayer locked in a security room. At this point I don't even know if they actual trash talk each other or they keep the drama going for the press. That being said I'd love to hear Ace's dirt as well
@@dhjmasa thats my point..thats not the real kiss. Lol soooooo..just saying i wouldnt ever go see them without Ace. The new guys are good and seem like great guys...but..for me..id rather see the originals..thats all. To each their own i guess.
I could care less about ace. Vinnie Vincent and Bruce kulick are the way to go. These people aren't gods. You can be replaced. I think gene and Paul proved that. Besides tommy Thayer is in gene and Paul's will. They love Tommy.
Ace speaks of money so much and "if money is right" jive is so ironic considering how he slams Gene for being money grubbing. Ace needs to listen to himself
Ace is one of the most underrated guitar players in rock history. He is tremendous he is unique he is one of a kind. He writes great songs, has swagger & the way Paul & Gene under value him is disgusting.

@@franklinfx I understand what you’re saying, because when I was a kid in the 70s, he was the shit, but I have been playing guitar professionally full-time for 25 years, and yes, most of his stuff is very basic. By the way, you must play guitar, judging by the way you just talked trash about him. I would love to see some videos on your RUclips page of you playing lead guitar. 🙃
All of the Paul and Gene stooges coming out of the wood work. All of them have multiple accounts like their own comments. Where were you when they slandered Ace and Peter the last 40 years? Ace is finally fighting back. Good on him.
So we have the goods on a Rock star who has done something bad. Shocking! How dare a rock star be a rock star. Dirt on a rock star??? I would never ever think that was a thing!!!!
Ace’s book “No Regrets” is a great read. He doesn’t bad mouth anyone and he tells great stories ie; wearing different colored sneakers to his initial audition for Gene, Paul and Peter - at that point they weren’t called Kiss, they didn’t have a name for the band yet.
No Regrets is a great read. Ace is pretty cool, but got too wasted. Sometimes I wonder why he wanted to be wasted all the time. It is fun to party some, but wow, he really took it far. Car crashes etc.Yikes!
Ace & Eddie are the ultimate combo. Ace has always been the coolest of the original four. For me, when Peter first left, it was actually devastating for me. The love affair was over. Their first live album was my begining, even though I had been playing songs on electric guitar with the radio like the Beatles and the rock hits of the early seventies. Good job fellas. How many days until the expiration date kicks in? This is like waiting on a slow bottle of ketchup × 10. ☑️
I can totally see Gene saying it will cost them $20,000 to get their $20,000. Ace is right, some people think they're above others, and there will be no one to answer to about it.
And that’s the issue I have with this…with all the Peter and Ace bashing from keyboard warriors and now, former band mates. NOBODY would ever say those things to their faces. It’s cowardice to the 10th level. It’s false bravado. It’s says more about THOSE people than anything else.
@@sirchromiumdowns2015 If Ace "boxes ears" like he "throws" water bottles these days, Paul is going to hit the deck because he doubles over with a hernia in his shabs from laughing too hard.

Great interview man Go Ace iam a native New Yorker went to High school in The Bronx he has that accent,! He had me Cracking up totally agree with his beliefs, Rock Soldiers 👍
@@markpr73 Gene is a Mommas boy that is why. Gene is a spoiled little brat. Ace rules. Gene loves Ace as Ace is real. Gene is smart and knows Paul is a loser and emotionally a mess ,and Ace has a good heart.
Why need to worry or threaten retaliation... Just forget about it. In a situation like this, you make someone look worse in the long-run when you refrain from retaliating. You already have the majority of people on your side. Retaliating can sometimes risk losing support. Defending yourself and retaliation are two different things.
I'd like to know the dirt a well as any other, agree, this childish retaliation may make him look just as bad. I say move on and for Ace to keep building himself up better than that, and the adult way. And for Ace defending himself on what needs justifying, right on! He said he wasn't perfect, but to keep having those bring him down after all these years, and now that he's sober, doesn't make other the guys look any better. 'Let go and let live for the better', I say.
Don't hold your breath no way sirius is going get involved in law suit by having ace spew unproven claims on their airwaves. I would love it if he did. But it's not going to happen
Most people coming off opioids are prescribed Suboxone, Methadone, etc. A lot of people never get off of it. Most addicts are terrified to let go of it.
I used to admire Paul Stanley. But then I read Paul’s book and I thought that it was pretty low of him to basically take a crap on everyone else but himself. But the worst part was when he talked about Eric Carr (RIP). From that point on Paul Stanley became Paul Sthanley of Kithss.
I say, hey, you guys got your millions, and still making the money, but it's getting old. Be glad you have that kind of money, alot of others don't have, and just grow up about it, and end this childish backlash with each other. 🙄😒
Back in the day, when Kiss was at the top, I can only imagine what it would have been like for Paul and Gene to deal with Peter and Ace and their addictions. It's very hard to deal with an alcoholic (when you yourself are sober) under just normal everyday circumstances. It's like babysitting a 3 year old. It would be tenfold when there is unlimited drugs, women, and money surrounding you, and nobody to tell you to stop. There were albums that needed to be recorded, shows that needed to be played, tons of press, televised interviews, etc. It would be a nightmare to try to steer a ship as big as KISS through all of that with half of your band (Peter and Ace) completely out of control... missing recording sessions, late for shows, high and drunk during interviews, etc. So I get that Paul and Gene got burned and are still scarred from it. HOWEVER, with that being said, it is classless and lowdown for Paul to continue to bash them even AFTER they left the band. This stuff should have been kept private. Ace has done what very few human beings have ever been able to do.. he got clean, and has stayed clean. He is kicking ass and taking names. God bless him! It was shitty and wrong that the 4 original members didn't play during their induction into the RRHOF, and it is shitty and wrong that Ace and Peter are not invited with open arms to play some of the farewell tour shows. Specifically, Paul should be ashamed. Come on man!
@@thesundog8833 I respectfully disagree. I have been in bands my whole life, and I have dealt with severe alcoholism. It's a bitch.. and can tear a band to shreds. But if you look at the end of my post, I clearly say that Paul should be ashamed. He is no doubt a narcissist.
You can say wat you want about their addictions, gene and Paul had them too. I feel like ace and peter were the real musicians and Paul could only sing and gene' bass playing is a joke. It e as the songwriting and music that started the decline or it wouldnt have lasted as long as it did . Paul and gene will get there karma soon. They already play to pure recorded music..so..there you go.
Ace is freakin’ hilarious! Gene’s Silly Safes had me laughing my ass off! Eddie corrects him that it was called “The Vault,” and Ace goes, “yeah, he should have pole vaulted ‘em.” Four days left on Ace’s ultimatum to Paul. Hope he’ll make good and show up on this show then!
Ace threatened to ruin a career that ends for Paul and Gene in December. Is not the first time Gene and Paul receive threatens from Ace. Lets see what Ace has under his sleeve in 7 days.
I think Ace needs to turn up the heat if Paul doesnt apologize in 7 days . Lol. Its gonna be bad, cuz he says whatever is on his mind. Gotta love Space Ace ! Turn up the heat !
As a fan of the original 4 I have ZERO interest in seeing the original 4 play together for a final show. I have the albums and some old RUclips videos to remember them when they were the band I loved and it’s best to leave it there.
Probably the best way for us all to look at it. Both Kiss and Ace should have retired many years ago. They are all just mere shells of what they used to be. All this bickering back and forth is just sad.
Sad how disrespectful and how much petty bs these guys have w each other and can’t keep from airing their dirty laundry to the fans. Take someone like Alice Cooper who also was in the business even longer and had many fk ups in his career but is always a class act when he talks about him and his career.
I've been a Kiss fan for 44 years and I have to say it's been embarrassing to me how these guys have been throwing shit at each other through time. I think it's especially disrespectful to us, the fans, to see them expose their dirty laundry in public. If you are a real man and you have to anything to say to somebody, you do it face to face and in a private room. It's really sad to witness these kind of grumpy old cat fights trying to get the fans to take sides like an old marriage that fell apart. When you hear Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons trash-talk Ace in public, I'm like, "Hey, wait a minute, that's fucking Ace Frehley you're talking about . He's one of my all-time heroes." And when Ace responds in an even worse way, I'm like, "Hey! You're talking about fucking Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley. These guys wrote part of the score of my life." I wish they would shut up for once and go out and make music however they feel like. If there's any apology to be made here, it's theirs to the fans. The rest, please, keep it private. We don't have to know and we don't fucking care.
I think Ace really should do a concert in Manhattan the same night that kiss is doing the farewell tour in New York both nights he should do the same time as kisses just to mess with them and make one of the shows free especially the last night that kiss is playing make that one show free
Never even a Kiss fan back in the day,when kids were even playin' with their Kiss action figures at the Country Club pool,But I've always loved Ace-He stood out on that Alive record with his hair & black Les Paul!In this day & age He stands out as an authentic human being as being so the real deal-God Bless & Always Be Well SpaceMan!!:)
As more and more time goes on.....I am starting to believe Ace and Peter's side of the story than Gene or Paul's. Ace brought up a lot of very good and interesting points, so I am glad this information is getting out to the public.
Ace is the only true rock star in Kiss. He can support his own career without needing the nightmare of what Kiss has become.
Indeed. I'm looking forward to his new album.
Exactly, plus he has that permanent rock n’ roll slur in his voice 😂

We all knew they wear wigs.....but WHY did Gene pick the ugliest one in existence?
Keep talking Ace! Keep talking! The sword cuts both ways...
Paul and Gene do not want to share the wealth or acclaim. Go get them Ace!
Great interview man Go Ace iam a native New Yorker went to High school in The Bronx he has that accent,! He had me Cracking up totally agree with his beliefs, Rock Soldiers 👍
Ace could have easily have gone into comedy instead of music and been just as successful, he's so funny cool and never disappoints
"He had the curls and the Yakama and the whole 9 yards"...😅
You’re insane.
Great if you like listening to old vaudeville comics I guess. These guys ( especially Simmons) are all stuck in the 30’s-40’s. BORING!
@@markpr73 Gene is a Mommas boy that is why. Gene is a spoiled little brat. Ace rules. Gene loves Ace as Ace is real. Gene is smart and knows Paul is a loser and emotionally a mess ,and Ace has a good heart.
HAS AN AWESOME LAUGH AND PERSONALITY WATCH HIM ON MORTON DOWNEY JR SHOW, THE FIRST SHOW NOT THE 2ND. AND TOM BROKOW.
*hiccup* 🍻 Into the Void...🎶 "A UFO landed in my backyard" 👽
😂
Ace says he would play with Gene and Paul but would have to be paid really well etc. I take it Ace already knows that will never happen...
God I hope he doesn't apologize 😆 I want the dirt. Ace is our favorite always has been.
Inspiring minds like us wanna know!😂
Yes I wanna know…I bet it’s gonna be something we don’t expect 😂
@@microwavedmetal spoiler alert ⚠️. Paul had a sexual relationship with his older sister when he was a young teenager.
Paul's not going to apologize. Paul thinks he's above making an apology to someone.
Paul and Gene was in the war of ideals diddlers
Blackie Lawless is slowly morphing into Vinnie Vincent's twin sister.
Na just getting older
If you set the playback speed to 1.25x Ace sounds less drunk
Why need to worry or threaten retaliation... Just forget about it. In a situation like this, you make someone look worse in the long-run when you refrain from retaliating. You already have the majority of people on your side. Retaliating can sometimes risk losing support. Defending yourself and retaliation are two different things.
I'd like to know the dirt a well as any other, agree, this childish retaliation may make him look just as bad. I say move on and for Ace to keep building himself up better than that, and the adult way. And for Ace defending himself on what needs justifying, right on! He said he wasn't perfect, but to keep having those bring him down after all these years, and now that he's sober, doesn't make other the guys look any better. 'Let go and let live for the better', I say.
"I haven't been contacted formally." Hmmm. What about informally? 🤔
Don't hold your breath no way sirius is going get involved in law suit by having ace spew unproven claims on their airwaves. I would love it if he did. But it's not going to happen
Ace sounds like he's been marinating in Southern Comfort for a few days based on this interview.
Many former alcoholics' speech is permanently damaged even decades after achieving sobriety.
Most people coming off opioids are prescribed Suboxone, Methadone, etc. A lot of people never get off of it. Most addicts are terrified to let go of it.
Best Laugh in Rock
7 days are up ! Where is the story ? A publicity gimmick for his new album ?
When Ace starts talking about God, you let the man Speak.
I used to admire Paul Stanley. But then I read Paul’s book and I thought that it was pretty low of him to basically take a crap on everyone else but himself. But the worst part was when he talked about Eric Carr (RIP). From that point on Paul Stanley became Paul Sthanley of Kithss.
Exact same for me. His book exposed what a #@$& he is
I couldn't agree more...
Stho??
They’ve got millions and they can’t help but spend their time cutting each other down😂
I say, hey, you guys got your millions, and still making the money, but it's getting old. Be glad you have that kind of money, alot of others don't have, and just grow up about it, and end this childish backlash with each other. 🙄😒
@@jek4912 with their money, I’d be off on some private island somewhere. Who cares what the others say?
@@DJ-bj8ku, read my mind. I'd be on one too. 😁
👍 Exactly, who f'kn cares!
Paul and gene are dwelling in the past and Ace just keeps moving to the future , keep on keeping on Ace !!!
what future??😂😂
Ace is giving Eddie some good content 🤣🤣
Back in the day, when Kiss was at the top, I can only imagine what it would have been like for Paul and Gene to deal with Peter and Ace and their addictions. It's very hard to deal with an alcoholic (when you yourself are sober) under just normal everyday circumstances. It's like babysitting a 3 year old. It would be tenfold when there is unlimited drugs, women, and money surrounding you, and nobody to tell you to stop. There were albums that needed to be recorded, shows that needed to be played, tons of press, televised interviews, etc. It would be a nightmare to try to steer a ship as big as KISS through all of that with half of your band (Peter and Ace) completely out of control... missing recording sessions, late for shows, high and drunk during interviews, etc. So I get that Paul and Gene got burned and are still scarred from it. HOWEVER, with that being said, it is classless and lowdown for Paul to continue to bash them even AFTER they left the band. This stuff should have been kept private. Ace has done what very few human beings have ever been able to do.. he got clean, and has stayed clean. He is kicking ass and taking names. God bless him! It was shitty and wrong that the 4 original members didn't play during their induction into the RRHOF, and it is shitty and wrong that Ace and Peter are not invited with open arms to play some of the farewell tour shows. Specifically, Paul should be ashamed. Come on man!
It's even harder to deal with a "sober" narcissist
@@thesundog8833 I respectfully disagree. I have been in bands my whole life, and I have dealt with severe alcoholism. It's a bitch.. and can tear a band to shreds. But if you look at the end of my post, I clearly say that Paul should be ashamed. He is no doubt a narcissist.
You can say wat you want about their addictions, gene and Paul had them too. I feel like ace and peter were the real musicians and Paul could only sing and gene' bass playing is a joke. It e as the songwriting and music that started the decline or it wouldnt have lasted as long as it did . Paul and gene will get there karma soon. They already play to pure recorded music..so..there you go.
Hes not sober.
@@WES_5150 Nope. He definitely is not.
The backbone of the original Kiss Paul’s singing sucks Ace is the man
Ace is freakin’ hilarious! Gene’s Silly Safes had me laughing my ass off! Eddie corrects him that it was called “The Vault,” and Ace goes, “yeah, he should have pole vaulted ‘em.”
Four days left on Ace’s ultimatum to Paul. Hope he’ll make good and show up on this show then!
Going to see Ace in concert on april 29th in Jamestown NY, cant wait
Ace threatened to ruin a career that ends for Paul and Gene in December. Is not the first time Gene and Paul receive threatens from Ace. Lets see what Ace has under his sleeve in 7 days.
I hope Paul doesn't issue an apology to Ace within 7 days so we can hear the dirt that Ace has on him.
I could listen to Ace all day long. Funny as hell. He sounds like he's drinking but I think that's just how he sounds when he talks.
Ace Frehley is KISS!!
There's an SNL sketch where Horatio Sanz plays Vin Diesel and does the exact same voice as Ace.
My ex boyfriend from 30 years ago worked with Ace and he said he was the coolest guy ever...
LOL! “They just fired the guy who handles their wigs.”
After 45 years Ace still sounds 8 years sober.
Ace sounds like he’s drinking again lol
Ace Fkn Rocks. Seen the boys many times in the late 70s. Not really a kizz fan. But watching Ace on stage. Les Paul God ! There's only One Ace. ❤
I think Ace’s solo on Calling Dr. Love from the Alive II album is my favorite of his but Ace is a totally underrated badass!!!
I agree...man those bends and abstract lead work is world class...perhaps aces best solo
That Blues Lagoos guy hooked Ace up with Jesus Christ. Pretty impressive.
😂
Magoos
Ty for upload!!
I think Ace needs to turn up the heat if Paul doesnt apologize in 7 days . Lol. Its gonna be bad, cuz he says whatever is on his mind. Gotta love Space Ace ! Turn up the heat !
Turn up the heat? Are you 12 years old?
@@sjs1555 If Ace does something like that he will be sued up to his eye balls
but Paul likes 12 year old boys, there's the dirt!
28:09 "I didn't realize he was that small. But in reality, honesty, he looked like an old woman!"
- Ace Frehley
I FKN about spit my soda into the windshield on that lol -
Do it anyway Ace! They've crapped on you for years! You are KISS for me and many fans.
As a fan of the original 4 I have ZERO interest in seeing the original 4 play together for a final show.
I have the albums and some old RUclips videos to remember them when they were the band I loved and it’s best to leave it there.
Probably the best way for us all to look at it. Both Kiss and Ace should have retired many years ago. They are all just mere shells of what they used to be. All this bickering back and forth is just sad.
If it wasnt for Ace there would be no Kiss. Ace’s style and tone is awesome
Don't talk rubbish
They would have easily found another guitar player. Don't be stupid.
@@dwightrenfield2241 obviously you are not a guitarist. Goofy
@@Steve410811 - Nope he’s a troll.
@@kingtrance307 😀😀
Sorry Paul Stanley,but you know yourself that the current 2 imposters aren’t the best lineup of Kiss.
"I'd do it if the money right.....for the fans ".............???????????????
We love you Ace. It will never be Kiss without him and Peter. RRHOF got it right for a change.
ACE is the most loved member of KIϟϟ !
The most applauded member of the band in the HOF !
The real talent !
Sad how disrespectful and how much petty bs these guys have w each other and can’t keep from airing their dirty laundry to the fans. Take someone like Alice Cooper who also was in the business even longer and had many fk ups in his career but is always a class act when he talks about him and his career.
I've been a Kiss fan for 44 years and I have to say it's been embarrassing to me how these guys have been throwing shit at each other through time. I think it's especially disrespectful to us, the fans, to see them expose their dirty laundry in public.
If you are a real man and you have to anything to say to somebody, you do it face to face and in a private room. It's really sad to witness these kind of grumpy old cat fights trying to get the fans to take sides like an old marriage that fell apart. When you hear Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons trash-talk Ace in public, I'm like, "Hey, wait a minute, that's fucking Ace Frehley you're talking about . He's one of my all-time heroes." And when Ace responds in an even worse way, I'm like, "Hey! You're talking about fucking Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley. These guys wrote part of the score of my life." I wish they would shut up for once and go out and make music however they feel like.
If there's any apology to be made here, it's theirs to the fans. The rest, please, keep it private. We don't have to know and we don't fucking care.
I think Ace really should do a concert in Manhattan the same night that kiss is doing the farewell tour in New York both nights he should do the same time as kisses just to mess with them and make one of the shows free especially the last night that kiss is playing make that one show free
I actually like this!! A LOT!!
And to add to it:
Get Peter to sing Hard Luck Woman and Beth and "If" and only "if' he is up to it, play a little drums
Ace is going to OUT Paul? It won't surprise many
Never even a Kiss fan back in the day,when kids were even playin' with their Kiss action figures at the Country Club pool,But I've always loved Ace-He stood out on that Alive record with his hair & black Les Paul!In this day & age He stands out as an authentic human being as being so the real deal-God Bless & Always Be Well SpaceMan!!:)
YOU ARE SH*KSA GODDESS FOREVER AND EVER AMEN ☦️🙏 PHILADELPHIA USA 🇺🇲
I'm praying for you and yours always.
Ace said it perfectly!!! Great Interview! 😁😉
As more and more time goes on.....I am starting to believe Ace and Peter's side of the story than Gene or Paul's. Ace brought up a lot of very good and interesting points, so I am glad this information is getting out to the public.
agree but don't think Paul and Gene done have LAWYERS crawling all over this!!
@@donnaroder3097 Absolutely....I have no doubt.
He wishes he can be in kiss again...sorry Ace but your times are over
@@chrisi123 if he don’t need the money?? For the money!you keep bringing this up !! Money the right amount of money you will play!
