Ace has always been focused on music, and Paul and Gene used to be as well. However, for years now, their main concern has been live concerts and money. Even in a documentary film about the making of avatars, Paul says that "music is only part of the band." For this reason, they have hardly recorded any new albums for over 20 years, while Ace releases them regularly. For Ace, music has always been and will always be his top priority. That being said, a show with avatars could be interesting and should encompass all eras of the band. For example, tomorrow's concert could feature songs and lineup from 1984, the day after from 1975, and the following day with all members in a sci-fi theme involving flying, and so on.
I love Ace, but he knows a huge part of their success has been because of the makeup and the comic-book-like characters they created. He doesn't have to agree with the Kiss/Avatar thing but he should still understand why they're doing it. It's possible he's a little bitter that they didn't use him for the avatar stuff. I'm sure most would agree that Peter Criss and Ace Frehley's avatars would've made it all much more appealing. But whatever. They're doing something that's never been done before and it's an interesting idea so let's just see where it goes. I personally don't really care much about it all. But at the same time I'm intrigued as to how they'll do it. We'll see.
Dude! I mean we're all entitled to our own opinions and I don't mean any disrespect but Ace has been kicking ass for the past 15 years. I wish he would have gotten sober a long time before he did because there's no telling what we've missed out on. Again I don't mean any disrespect towards you at all so don't take it that way. But the man has been killing it.
It's a pity. When they were rock'n'roll heroes, we were lucky to find photos in a magazine in France . Mystery was part of the mystic. Who wants to read about business issues between grumpy old stars. Reality killed the myth, tanx to the social network . Been listening Yesterday to R'N'R Over, where it all started for me. Still sounds like fresh air to my ears 🎉
Ideally, whether you like them or not, the avatars should have been the original lineup, but I'm sure it was done this way because Tommy and Eric required way less money.
They absolutely should have used the original lineup to immortalize themselves. As a fan since the 70's I only want to see Paul, Gene, Peter and Ace. Enough of the impersonators.
I'm guessing since Tommy and Eric were just employees, they only required a flat fee for their likeness. Guys that used to be full shareholders of the band would have needed a whole new negotiation.@@tnyc3265
It’s time to stop the “Ace and technology” thing. Maybe it was true in the ‘70s, but Ace is a 72 year old gentleman, how hip can he be? Anyway that wasn’t even the point, those Avatars looked terrible. Revealing them now was too soon, and a mistake.
I agree with Ace, it looks too cartoonish. They had said in the past that this band could go on without Paul and Gene with new people, why not do that instead
One day the technology will be there to perfectly recreate one of KISS' shows from the 70's, it'll be like you went back in time to the 70's to see a concert. The "avatars" will be so life-like it will be like you can touch Gene, Paul Ace and Peter and/or Eric Carr. None of this PS3 Graphics crap.
Ace would be all for it if were him and not Tommy. Ace is just too bitter and should just move on. Tommy was there a lot longer than Ace and why would KISS go back to the original line-up for these avatars when Ace and Peter didn't care enough about the band to stay around for the entire run of KISS.
They’re going to replace Ace and Peter with Tommy and Eric Singer? Give me a break. I can understand acknowledging and including Eric Carr but the others were just employees. What an insult to the original band from 1973 to 1980. They should’ve stopped calling it KISS after that and just done something else. I stopped paying attention after the disco song. And the blood and the fire and the bottle rockets coming out of the guitar? Just stop, 40 years ago already!
I’m sure Ace did protest about getting Royalties from from the Kiss Mego Dolls…..please somebody stop him talking. I’m worried about him actually, I hope he’s not back on the sauce….
Its no different than an NFT. You're buying nothing if you see this show. Its an animated movie. Its not like the avatars are sentient beings. Its no different than having an animated series, yet its being sold as something high tech... just like NFT's.
You know, it doesn’t matter what people think of of the KISS avatars because they can’t do anything about it. It’s Paul and Gene’s band not Ace’s. They can do whatever they want with it. You don’t hear Peter whine or complain about this.
Peter is no longer an active or productive musician, and gets less and less relevant with the passage of time. He's not dynamic, charismatic, funny, or quotable like Ace, either.
Kiss is trash now with the avatar BS. It’s over and glad it’s over. Time to grow up and move on. I would go see a without make up tour with all the ex-guitar players similar to MSG tour with all the different singers
I think KISS and their investors are going to lose their a$$e$ big time financially on the cartoon tours and will have to get back together and start playing "Reunion" tours just to make a little extra money.
Of course, the Ace Avatar would have to be Drunk all of the time and not be able to play guitar as he is now. He needs to get over himself with his Best in The World album... As a reminder... Ace and Peter told the Fans and Gene NO!
I think the avatars are going to be a clown show. Nothing more than a cash machine. A way for the members to collect revenue without them physically doing anything.
I would ask him: ''Ace, do you mean that rock and roll isn't for kids?'' Before KISS, he was a kid bashing other ones. Now, he's just a frustrated and jealous old kid that keeps repeating himself! He's never grown up and is delirious! A joker isn't worth a pair of aces (Gene and Paul)...
Ace is real and knows the deal....tell it like it is Spaceman!
Excactly ! Ace was Kiss ! Reality
You both !! I was coming to the comments to say the exact same stuff !!
@@pauldunlea3669You both !! I was coming to the comments to say the exact same stuff !!
🛸🛸❤🛸🛸
Ace isn't alone many Fans are like what the Hell? & Why?
He`s not a sell out in other words ! x
Ace had nothing to sellout
The only reason Tommy was able to wear Ace's makeup is that Ace sold out
Whatever, Im just glad Ace is Alive!, sober, healthy, and productive.
Love ACE what you see is what you get! Real as it gets!!
First 10 Years count for me & Reunion ! That was KISS !!!
Don‘t need more 🤘
The Avatar stuff is ridiculous. LOL
The avatars are ridiculous... exactly what the world has become. Ridiculous.

ACE tells it like it is. No bullshit just ACE.
As fast as technology evolves, these avatars probably wont even be valid in 10 to 15 years,and 200 million is alot of $$$
it's 200 million more
They actually look pretty bad now.
A digital return to the Psycho Circus comics, only with the music added to it.
Not exactly reinventing fire with that concept, are they?
It certainly isn’t better.

HE IS THE Spaceman so they really did
I think ace is right. I think the avatars are not going to work. ace you rock you are true hero
Tell them, Ace.
Ace is not a great artist anymore but if I have to choose between Ace on stage or the kiss avatar crap I definitely choose Ace
Dude! I mean we're all entitled to our own opinions and I don't mean any disrespect but Ace has been kicking ass for the past 15 years.

@@kravin74 👍
Yeah, and space ace is the greatest kid.
50 year old people ordering adult happy meals, your right, they are for kids.
Yes..
...but...
Ace has a Cartoon vídeo...
Don’t forget KISS & Scooby Doo !!
Yes. But, his cartoon video isn't going on tour.
❤❤🛸🛸❤❤ACE is the real spaceman🛸🛸❤❤
ACE FOREVER !!!
Why did kiss have to do this they just destroyed their legacy
It was already destroyed, they are just pissing on the ruins now.
Gene & Paul want to retire but also want KISS to continue… 🤷🏻♂️
They've been destroying it since 2003. DESTROYERs, indeed.
You can not be serious. The imposters made it look like anybody can dress up and be in the band. No identity. A copy.
It's a pity. When they were rock'n'roll heroes, we were lucky to find photos in a magazine in France . Mystery was part of the mystic. Who wants to read about business issues between grumpy old stars. Reality killed the myth, tanx to the social network . Been listening Yesterday to R'N'R Over, where it all started for me. Still sounds like fresh air to my ears 🎉
Wow another 200 million. They will never make that back
I like how Aces name gets brought up first hahahaa when I was younger I thought KISS was Ace Frehley and Peter Criss yep
If this is the future of rock n roll might as well go to a rave & watch the dj turn some dials. Ace is't wrong.
It's for the kids at heart Ace, the kids at heart.
Ideally, whether you like them or not, the avatars should have been the original lineup, but I'm sure it was done this way because Tommy and Eric required way less money.

That avatar thing is lame. If it’s over with then it’s over if I want to the kiss experience, I will go see Mr. Speed
Those guys are fantastic
@@elliottmayer-yeager8087I love Mr Speed!
Ace should stay away from Affairs with KISS - Just to keep going
It’s time to stop the “Ace and technology” thing. Maybe it was true in the ‘70s, but Ace is a 72 year old gentleman, how hip can he be?
Anyway that wasn’t even the point, those Avatars looked terrible. Revealing them now was too soon, and a mistake.
Of course it's for the kids! In the words of our beloved Uncle Jerry from the Misfits, "We're doin' it for the kids!" 😅
I don’t care!!! Live Rock music forever!!
I love Ace ....geared toward kids seems Extremely hypocritical.
I (or my kids) can accept the KISS avatars....if they permanently include Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter!
I agree with Ace, it looks too cartoonish. They had said in the past that this band could go on without Paul and Gene with new people, why not do that instead
One day the technology will be there to perfectly recreate one of KISS' shows from the 70's, it'll be like you went back in time to the 70's to see a concert. The "avatars" will be so life-like it will be like you can touch Gene, Paul Ace and Peter and/or Eric Carr. None of this PS3 Graphics crap.
Who spent Aces share of the poster and lunchbox money.
Avatars are silly and don’t care for them but everything KISS was for the Kids anyway.
Ace would be all for it if were him and not Tommy. Ace is just too bitter and should just move on. Tommy was there a lot longer than Ace and why would KISS go back to the original line-up for these avatars when Ace and Peter didn't care enough about the band to stay around for the entire run of KISS.
I believe ace ai is not rock and roll
No ACE/PETER...NO KISS PEOPLE
They’re going to replace Ace and Peter with Tommy and Eric Singer? Give me a break. I can understand acknowledging and including Eric Carr but the others were just employees. What an insult to the original band from 1973 to 1980. They should’ve stopped calling it KISS after that and just done something else. I stopped paying attention after the disco song.

Then why the comment if you stopped paying attention 40 years ago. Sounds to me like you still pay attention.
I stopped listening to acdc when bon Scott died and they replaced him with a peasant limo driver 🙄
KISS finally sold out!
They're using their image, and their music. Who are they selling out too?
I’m sure Ace did protest about getting Royalties from from the Kiss Mego Dolls…..please somebody stop him talking. I’m worried about him actually, I hope he’s not back on the sauce….
Its no different than an NFT. You're buying nothing if you see this show. Its an animated movie. Its not like the avatars are sentient beings. Its no different than having an animated series, yet its being sold as something high tech... just like NFT's.
I agree with Ace , these corny avatars are not rock n roll
He might be a little jealous….wish he was making the money off the spaceman
You know, it doesn’t matter what people think of of the KISS avatars because they can’t do anything about it. It’s Paul and Gene’s band not Ace’s. They can do whatever they want with it. You don’t hear Peter whine or complain about this.
Peter isn't plugging a new record.
Peter is no longer an active or productive musician, and gets less and less relevant with the passage of time. He's not dynamic, charismatic, funny, or quotable like Ace, either.
Kiss is trash now with the avatar BS. It’s over and glad it’s over. Time to grow up and move on. I would go see a without make up tour with all the ex-guitar players similar to MSG tour with all the different singers
The avatars basically geared to make $$$$ nothing more which is kinda sad if you to ask me.
I think KISS and their investors are going to lose their a$$e$ big time financially on the cartoon tours and will have to get back together and start playing "Reunion" tours just to make a little extra money.
Its going to flop harddddd
Ace is jealous because Tommy is now forever the spaceman.
Of course, the Ace Avatar would have to be Drunk all of the time and not be able to play guitar as he is now. He needs to get over himself with his Best in The World album... As a reminder... Ace and Peter told the Fans and Gene NO!

Waceted frehley, using the bands history for his own agenda.. You definitely are lost in spaceeeeeeee
Propaganda is always geared towards children..Imho .This nothing more than dehumanizing humanity
