Tommy doesn’t deserve the hate he gets, he’s a nice guy and a great guitar player. He earned his place in the band. He might not be ace, but he’s keeping the spaceman legacy alive. He even forgot the when lightning strikes lyrics, because he never plays it live, he plays ace songs so the youngest generation will remember ace as well. He is the new spaceman. (This comment has no hate against Ace Frehley)
Hey Tommy played part of When Lightning Strikes and started singing part of it!!!😃 My favorite song off of Sonic Boom! I really want to hear KISS play When Lightning Strikes live.
Tommy has earned his place in Kiss. Many forget that he has been employed by the band since the late 1980s and had to start at the very bottom. Many fans I have spoken to who have met the band members past and present have nothing but nice things to say about their interactions with Tommy, Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick. I would love to see all members past and present at the final show.
Kiss was Ace/ Gene/Peter/and paulina no others will be remembered for anything special / simply nothing I can think of / Kiss changed so drastic after the originals it was many years a Desmond Child/ Paulina band WTF that is not Kiss for a real fan !!!! That was rubbish Kiss is not a sport team that changes players / Oh yes I know some try to brainwash you with that crap and they are turned into crap / Cant stand anymore lies from this hypocrits/ lip synching WTF Wake up morons😅
@@twikirobot6897 Sonic Boom and Monster have great tunes. I blame a failing record industry for those albums not getting proper credit they deserved, even if they were made by a classic rock band. Sonic Boom blows away any other KISS album made since Revenge. Top 5 studio album of their career for sure.
Great wonderful Tommy Thayer! Guitarist ..., I really like your work .... with Kiss especially, always Wonderful!👍👍👍👽👽👽👽👽🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really hate shit people who express how much they love Frehley by saying loudly that they hate Thayer. I never do such an unfair deed though I've loved Ace so much that I used to play as Ace in an Alive outfit in a KISS tribute band.
Only dumbasses have an issue with Tommy personally, he's just doing a gig, but I think it's wrong that they dress him up as Ace instead of giving him his own character, or better yet, ditching the makeup altogether. It's disrespectful to Tommy in my opinion to make him be an actor and a guitarist at the same time, just let the guy be himself. No one is fooled by it anymore, and they don't need the makeup they've long since proven themselves
Tommy eres muy bueno y has llegado con Kiss hasta el final ahora en 2.023. Y SINGER tb y eso es de admirar quiero a todos los Kiss y a Paul más porq me gusta su voz y su manera de ser pero Singer Carr Tommy y Bruce lucharon por Kiss aparte De Paul y Gene q sin ellos no sería posible Kiss. Un beso a todas y todos...😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@natecannon6746 this guy keeps Ace’s legacy alive. He makes possible to remember Ace’s work clean, because he didn’t destroy himself with booze and coke. THANK YOU TOMMY!
I never knew Tommy wrote Betrayed so good on him but it must be hard for Ace hearing solos he wrote been played by Tommy. It’s a double edged sword, good on you Tommy, thanks Ace.
Tommy es un buen guitarristas. El q está aquí es Tommy y el q toca tb y no entiendo lo q dice porq no se inglés. Pero q pinta aquí Ace... El no está aquí los buenos rockeros no critica a los otros .a mi me gustan casi todas las bandas Pero por eso no hay q criticar a las q no te gustan. Lo mismo pasa aquí. Ace no está cuándo tenga su vídeo lo alabais a él. 😅😊😊😊
So disapointed my favorite rock band and my biggest music influence, became a costume contest, musical contest, reality tv, theme park, disney cruise, marketing agency, family morning talk show, Vegas act BULLSHIT. What's next? Kiss sitcom ?
Respect your opinion but why is that any different than in 79 when KISS wanted to have a traveling amusement park, in 1980 when they appeared on Kids Are People Too, etc. KISS always did things their way.
Andy Salter Dude, I can play the solo! What he is playing is not right! He used to be spot on with these solos, but not anymore! I’m done arguing about a solo my 7 yr old son could learn pretty quick!
@@natecannon6746 Vinnie and Bruce did it because the songs were being played in those eras and they were the guitarists.. Tommy is trained to play note for note like ace… vinnie and Bruce added their own flair to it. Tommy dressed up and pretends to be ace. He’s a fraud.
I liked Tommy when he was in Black n Blue. My issue with him in Kiss is he's pretending to be Ace, not being Tommy. When Vinnie replaced Ace in 1982 he had his own character in makeup. He wasn't trying to be Ace. I do give Tommy credit for getting Gene and Paul to come out of their stubborn ways and play some Kiss classics that the fans want to hear.
He's played 'Shock Me' live a shit ton of times, but how many times has he played 'When Lightning Strikes' live? Of course Shock me is going to be more fresh on his mind
@@billsykes8409 lmfao. Tommy and charisma in the same sentence is laughable. He has 0. He stands up there trying to do his best ace style Bobbing. His "character" isn't even his. His entire stage gimmick is copied. I mean if you like Tommy more power to ya. But at least be real.
Mooch 514 The only evidence is that the man is hoarse when he speaks, but when he sings, he sounds like 10 years ago. Also, Ace and Peter chose money. Seriously? Defend that one, champ.
Totally mangled the C'mon and Love Me solo. As proved by a room full of the biggest hardcore KISS fans on the planet not being able to recognize it!! Imagine if he did his lame-brain dumbed down version of the COTN solo, everyone would probably walk out.
Solo 1: the one Ace wrote Solo 2: the one that Ace wrote Solo 3: a sing no one cares about Solo 4: a riff Ace wrote Solo 5: a solo Ace wrote He’s a great Ace Frehley impersonator
Wish I caught on video when Tommy actually talked about the fact that these great solos were written by Ace and he (Ace) deserves all the credit for writing legendary solos. Also, Solo 3, quite a number of people on the boat cared about.
Vinnie and Bruce also played solos that Ace played first. Are you going to tell me that they impersonated Ace too? If you are a lead guitarist in Kiss, your job is to play Kiss solos.
Tommy doesn’t deserve the hate he gets, he’s a nice guy and a great guitar player. He earned his place in the band. He might not be ace, but he’s keeping the spaceman legacy alive.

ME TOO
my favorite songs off of Sonic Boom, are Say Yeah, When Lightning Strikes, and Danger Us
Same!
This is so beautiful
Oh I love it.. WOW, I've always wanted to hear the live version of this song.

He will never be remembered for anything he did musically while in the band.

Thx for sharing. Like a great Tommy concert.

The funny thing is he said he tripped on stage last night during Rock And Roll All Nite and they said he did an Ace! He even trips like Ace! Lmfao

I love When Lightning Strikes
Well, this is a fun game!
Very Cool Tommy Rocks👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
How does someone not get C'mon & Love Me?
He played it wrong
i didn't get it either
I thought it was strutter for some reason 😂
He fucks it up several times.
Cold Gin ? Some people were invited here for free. Thayer played it justice.
actually too easy for me.i am being a kiss fan for 2-3 years only and that is the 3rd kiss kruise i am watching on youtube. THAT S HEARTBREAKING
I would’ve thought it was strutter or cmon and love me. I can see how that guy said got to choose tho it’s very melodic
@7:24 "The Oath" (Music from The Elder)... He understands the love of deep tracks.
OATH. You know I prefer Ace like the bulk of us, but what a cool guy. Thanks for trying to get the deep cuts
Tommy, try Bruce and Vinnie solos
He does
@@natecannon6746 But not very well
ERES EL MEJOR
No he isnt ace
Tommy remembers the solos
Tommy aka "Fake Frehley"
@@paulramon6272
Nothing fake about Tommy. He actually shows up sober and does his job. Hes not trying to be Frehley either.
Tommy is a great guitar player.
@@natecannon6746 this guy keeps Ace’s legacy alive. He makes possible to remember Ace’s work clean, because he didn’t destroy himself with booze and coke. THANK YOU TOMMY!
He play ace's solos better than ace
Maybe in your dreams...
@@vicman-ks7ht
No hes right. Tommy plays them better.
Could be not having 40 years of booze and drugs, Ace was great but isn't anymore.
I never knew Tommy wrote Betrayed so good on him but it must be hard for Ace hearing solos he wrote been played by Tommy. It’s a double edged sword, good on you Tommy, thanks Ace.
I would smoke this game hahah I play along and always beat them to it

Kiss sitcom?I'd watch it at least once!lol!
7:35 what song is that?
The Oath from The Elder
Cleaner than Ace would ever play it
Yes but, without feeling...anybody cares
@@vicman-ks7ht
But there is feeling.
@@natecannon6746 no, it isn´t
@@vicman-ks7ht
Yes, it is
How did some of these people not get this are they Ace?
That so didn’t sound like the come on and love me solo!
It took me a while but it was. I got it after a few seconds.
Andy Salter dude your funny!
@Andy Salter No it didn't
Andy Salter Dude, I can play the solo! What he is playing is not right! He used to be spot on with these solos, but not anymore! I’m done arguing about a solo my 7 yr old son could learn pretty quick!
It's because of the D tuning
Does he play anything off Ace's solo albums?
No.....but he was extremely complimentary to Ace, pointing out how Ace wrote these amazing guitar solos. Wish I caught that on video.
I BET he knows those solos too since he is a,huge kiss fan from way back. I mean he was in a kiss tribute band with Black n Blue bandmates.
The girl on the end looks bored as hell like she has seen this a million times lol
A game where most of the answers are "Ace's solos"
@Napolion Dynmomite = moronic ill-informed comments, as usual. Ace wrote all his guitar parts and solos.
Napolion Dynmomite Lol. It's okay to be in special ed 🤗. That can be the only explanation for your constant idiotic comments.
Your point being what exactly? Tommy is in Kiss so his job is to play Kiss solos. Vinnie and Bruce did it too.
@@natecannon6746 Vinnie and Bruce did it because the songs were being played in those eras and they were the guitarists.. Tommy is trained to play note for note like ace… vinnie and Bruce added their own flair to it. Tommy dressed up and pretends to be ace. He’s a fraud.
Has Kiss ever played in South Africa or Korea?
Rosco I don’t think so
Rosco
Not yet. They will be playing in South Africa soon!

THAT is the trouble with this guy.
The guy knows how to play Shock Me but not When Lightning Strikes. That tells you everything you need to know about Tommy Thayer.
The Fonz And Ace doesn’t know how to play either solo. That tells you all you need to know about Ace.
He's played 'Shock Me' live a shit ton of times, but how many times has he played 'When Lightning Strikes' live? Of course Shock me is going to be more fresh on his mind
He played the song just fine.
might have something to do with him playing Shock Me about a thousand fucking times or something? ever think of that? lol
@@HBKshowstopper635

As stupid as this is, and it's all Ace solos, let's give the imposter credit for his work ethic. Ace would never do this.
Nobody cares... Let the guy do his job. Anyone would kill for it
Ace didn't have to.
Mooch 514 It's Mooch! These days Paul is worse than Ace and Peter ever were.
Mooch 514 Can't quite give 100% if you're lipping everything but the outdoor show. He does awesome on Shandi, by the way.

I recognized it in a couple seconds. That's a hard solo to remember because on the full song, it's covered up by the vocals.
Tommy is a very good guitarist, but ... Ace was so big that it was a lot of pressure to take over. I like Ace
He’s not the Space Man.
Joe Stoerger He thinks he is.
@@youtube-watcher8996 shut up
Ace is space ace tommy is the spaceman
Yes he is & has been for 17 long & legendary years
Sure he is, there can always be a Spaceman, but there’s only one Space Ace
I know that solo, it's the one you stoled from Ace!!!
Lol
He didn't steal anything from Ace. He's in Kiss. His job is to play Kiss solos. Pretty simple concept.
@@natecannon6746 Vinnie Vincent, Mark and Bruce played their own versions. That is the difference.
@@vicman-ks7ht
No that's not the difference. They all played the same material.
Ace plays them better, his vibrato is way more advanced
Did you see Ace on the pre-cruise show? Dude can't play anything anymore :)
@@MrAmi69 You are dreaming. Ace has been playing KISS songs since Frehley's Comet.
Ace can't play worth a shit anymore. Tommy is better by a long shot. More fluent and more smooth.
Solo 1: the one Ace wrote
Solo 2: the one that Ace wrote
Solo 3: a sing no one cares about
Solo 4: a riff Ace wrote
Solo 5: a solo Ace wrote
He’s a great Ace Frehley impersonator
Wish I caught on video when Tommy actually talked about the fact that these great solos were written by Ace and he (Ace) deserves all the credit for writing legendary solos.
Also, Solo 3, quite a number of people on the boat cared about.

Props for Tommy playing this stupid-ass game.
Lmfao this is awful 🤨 how about having some real talented Kiss guitarists on stage such as Bruce Kulick , Ace Frehley and Vinnie Vincent
🤣😂 GTFO with that bullshit. Janet, I mean Vinnie Vincent, can't play anymore.
Neither can Ace
UM NOT JUST FOR YOU!!!! LIKE YOU GO TO THE SHOW ANYWAY!!!!!!
Ace wanna be
Hard to be an Ace wanna be when Tommy acts nothing like him.
WHO WOULD ( WANNA BE ) FREHLEY AT THE END OF 2023 !!!!!! 😂
