I agree but Peter also sang his ass off on his solo album. Here's how I rank their solos in terms of overall musicianship. 1. Ace 2. Paul 3. Peter 4. Gene
That is fucking exactly how I feel too ! I love Kiss but Ace made that band what it was . they put on a fantastic show too greatest concert I've ever attended
Love Ace, he's the best out of Kiss. Then Peter. Ace is still touring. Kiss didn't tear him down. Ace will always be back in The New York Groove. He's a great guitar player. He's a legend. I love Howard too.
He asked Ace (guy who has done countless concerts and interviews, massive rock star) if he’s nervous, as if Stern is a bigger star than Ace F-cking Frehley. That’s like asking Johnny Depp if he’s nervous to meet Conan O’Brien.
Ace was just acting really reserved...I don't think he meant it as a slight..KISS and Ace are Great, but Howard was perhaps the most recognizable human in America for a couple years at his height
I think it’s clear that Ace doesn’t want to bash Paul or Gene in the hopes that he doesn’t burn any future bridges that may form. I think Peter Criss has burnt them all. Rebuilt them and then burnt them again in order to drive that final nail in the Kiss Kasket
Ace is a very talented guy. I love KISS. And all the original members. Ace’s guitar solo on GOT TO CHOOSE on ALIVE still brings tears to my eyes, it’s so damn good. Most people miss that. You have to listen to the whole solo. To the very end of the solo. Amazing!! Unfortunately Ace has no self control at critical times. He got overwhelmed by his unfun obligations to the band. That’s unacceptable. In life as an adult you have to take the good with the bad. That goes for you to Peter. Oh well shiet happens.
Ace quit after hearing what Bob Ezrin did on The Elder. That Album was pure shit. Peter Quit because he suffered a bad car accident and couldn't be present for the recording of Dynasty. He also had a bad alcohol and coke addiction. His personal relationship was suffering as was his relationship with the band. in all the years that Kiss has been a band, Gene and Paul have only ever worked on two songs together for writing credits. I wonder how much better they would have been if they actually worked on more songs together. Paul hasn't wrote many songs since the 70's. Bob Ezrin put together Destroyer, and that was the worst album they put out until The Elder. The Elder was complete crap and Ace made up his mind to leave right after hearing it.
@@thebluesrockers Totally about Bob Ezrin and the Destroyer album. Bob Ezrin was totally clueless as to what KISS was all about. Bob’s cocaine addition didn’t help. As for the Elder. I’ve never bothered with that crap.
When you bring the most influential band member of KISS as well as the most successful post band member, then talk incessantly about his “former band”, it’s plain and simple just bad manners. Kudos to Ace for handling it like a gentleman and kudos to his manager for Oscar Miking him outta there. You’ll always be my favorite ACE. Can’t wait to see you in a Charlotte NC!
I love Ace. And to be honest, this was a pretty toxic environment to be interviewed in.. Poor Ace. I would have lost my temper really quickly but he kept his cool.
I forgot until 10 minutes ago how much I can't stand Howard. You have one of the greatest guitarists of our time on your show and you can't even do your homework? Jeesh. Putz.
Apparently, the manager wanted Ace out of there because Gorden Gebert who wrote "Kiss & Tell" a tell-all book on Ace, was on the phone waiting to speak to Ace live on the radio.
The guy can't be much of a KISS fan if he doesn't realize that Paul is the heart and soul of KISS, and that Ace was just in it to be a rock star and party, and tour and record only when he felt like it.
Ace was paid $50-60k per concert for the reunion tour, and $50k for the Psycho Circus and Farewell tours. Over the span of five years he made almost $20 million. I don’t want to hear about how unfairly he was treated. Not when he made that much money, got to travel the world for free, and stay in luxury hotels in every city.
@@thefonzkiss Legit they wanted him for the Melbourne Symphony concert and the Aerosmith tour(it was a stipulation by promoters). They did not want to ask Peter to come back!
He earned his $. He got paid that $ for what he contributed. Nothing was for free. Gene and Paul are businessmen pretending to be rockstars, Ace is a rockstar who knew nothing about how to be a businessman
Howard was unprepared for the interview as he himself said at the beginning that he didn't know much about Ace. Bad start. Unacceptable under any circumstances. The least he could have done is to get some type of briefing about the man, the band, the current situation, and what the guest was told he'd be in the studio for - at least, that's how I would have done it, rather that waste everyone's time.
Paul Daniel Frehley, más conocido como Ace Frehley (n. Nueva York, Estados Unidos, 27 de abril de 1951), es un músico estadounidense célebre por haber sido el guitarrista y uno de los fundadores del grupo Kiss. Junto a Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley y Peter Criss, Frehley formó la mencionada banda en 1973 y asumió en ella la personalidad de «Space Ace» o «Spaceman», debido a su afición por la astronomía y los ovnis. Con el álbum Love Gun de 1977, el músico se estrenó como vocalista y al año siguiente publicó su debut homónimo en solitario, puesto a la venta el mismo día que el de sus compañeros de banda. Tras grabar nueve álbumes de estudio con Kiss, el guitarrista abandonó la formación en 1982 para embarcarse en su carrera en solitario y trabajar en el proyecto Frehley's Comet.
Work is work. If KISS had to open for Aerosmith, and Ace gets $50K per night + merchandise, damn right he should just play and cash his checks. And if anything, the downfall of KISS was due to Paul and Gene's many mistakes, so Ace should not have felt embarrassed about opening for a former opening act. And in all honesty, Ace's career in the 80s, while not as disastrous as Peter's, wasn't anything to brag about. At least he got called back to tour, while Peter was not. So, leave your ego at the door.
Ace is hilarious. His situation is like Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies though, he will ALWAYS be known from Kiss. And I can't understand why Sal got beat up in school. LOL
Ace didn't sound happy here, but he did say "early in the morning" before he mentions the movie. Howard, you could have hooked him up with some coffee or somethin'!
Tinfoil was the standard for us kids in the 70's. Tinfoil on a tennis racket...A GIUTAR 🎸...wrap some on your shoes and your ACE FREHLEY!! True story. So sayith The KISS ARMY KNIGHT 🛡️ Rock and Roll over and out 🪨 N 🥐
Seriously, I loved KISS in the 70's, I accepted the ARMY thing, but when the money grubby started with action figures lunch boxes condoms coffin anything to make a buck it all started to be GI Joe, Barbie and KIDS TOYS...you know? KISS became a carnival act for children instead of a Rock Band. I blame Gene for narrow mindedness a tunnel focus $$...sad, glad I walked away with great memories of the 70's.
Howard is the OG gaslighter..... its amazing he wasnt under scrutiny these past 4 years over sexual content, and offensive tasks he made light of on people with disabiities.... LOL!
This, and before, is when the show was awesome. The edge was cool, man. Not that boring Ellen Degeneres shit he does now. His interviews were more conversational and absurd which is what made him different from every normal interview that asks boring questions.
What a pathetic interview. You have a huge star of music in your studio and you don’t bother to read anything about who he is and the kiss story or what he’s currently doing. Love Ace! Legend
Stern was a complete jerk. Ace did well to contain his annoyance. Ace is one who can take care of himslef & Chuck did well not to lose it. nterviewers should know something about their interviewee! Unbelievable....
You can tell Ace is not into the gossip. And you’d think Howard would rummage through the KISS years a little before he showed. It’s just disrespectful.
All these comments… no one points out that the tinfoil was Peter’s outfit. Also Peter is one of rocks greatest drummers. Style, technique among other things influenced so many. As they all did. There’s better bands for sure. But there is no better rock and roll band.
Wtf was up with Howard and that girl, they spoke really condescendingly to him and asked questions he clearly didn't want to answer, and then were like "yOu sEEm sO sAd" bruh I'd be too if I was spoken to like this
I prefer peter and ace, they just wanted to be rock stars and enjoy the fame and money and have fun with it... Paul and gene always took it way too serious, to them it wasn't a passion, it was a job.
Ace had the best 78 solo album by far! He seems the only one who put his heart into it.
I agree but Peter also sang his ass off on his solo album. Here's how I rank their solos in terms of overall musicianship.
1. Ace
2. Paul
3. Peter
4. Gene
I love Ace. I genuinely look up to him and respect him as a legendary guitarist.
Ace the only true rock star in Kiss
Real Rock ⭐
I cracked up at "I wanted to call it another four letter word". Hilarious. Ace is the man.
Ace Frehley is one of the most real legendary rockers you'lll ever see.
That is fucking exactly how I feel too ! I love Kiss but Ace made that band what it was . they put on a fantastic show too greatest concert I've ever attended
Ace made the sound of KISS. Best musician out of the 4 of them. HANDS DOWN!
One of the few times I've seen him in the later years without make-up or without sunglasses.
Its a nice change to see Ace without glasses, smiling and amused and chuckling at Sal.
Ace is the Coolest member to come out of Kiss.
The ONLY cool member. 😉
The only cool member, the cat man was ok too.
ERIC CARR is a close third !
And the dumbest for losing the best gig in the history of rock and roll up his nose.
Yep but peter is cool now n humble him n Pete
Love this man. Ace is the guy. Rock on brother.
Love Ace, he's the best out of Kiss. Then Peter. Ace is still touring. Kiss didn't tear him down. Ace will always be back in The New York Groove. He's a great guitar player. He's a legend. I love Howard too.
8 minutes of unadulterated, intervenous entertainment...this show was so great
I saw Ace and Chuck outside the studio that day. He signed a bunch of stuff for fans
He asked Ace (guy who has done countless concerts and interviews, massive rock star) if he’s nervous, as if Stern is a bigger star than Ace F-cking Frehley. That’s like asking Johnny Depp if he’s nervous to meet Conan O’Brien.
Ace was just acting really reserved...I don't think he meant it as a slight..KISS and Ace are Great, but Howard was perhaps the most recognizable human in America for a couple years at his height

That solo gets me every time too
same here!! I'm 51 and I've been listening Alive! since I was 15... and now I can even play it (not as ace do) with my guitar.... love!

Ace is like I dont wanna be here
I will be seeing him in Austin this year. I have seen Ace several times live and its always a good show. Set list is really good.
Fuckin Howard Stern "What the hell else we gonna talk about" lmao.
I love him so much ❤
this is great....
I love Ace. And to be honest, this was a pretty toxic environment to be interviewed in.. Poor Ace. I would have lost my temper really quickly but he kept his cool.
My favorite member from kiss ace is the coolest person ever and one of my favorite guitarists of all time
Classic E! Channel Howard Stern Show...thanks for posting this gem...!!
Ace has the best laugh! He da man!!!!
The plumber!
Should have his own talk show on radio. I would listen every day.😅❤
I love Ace.
The manager wanting him to leave LMAOO
They kick Ace out when he won't talk about Kiss. Classic!😅
His manager wanted him to leave when Howard starts talking about kiss
Glad ACE kept bis temper in check.
Don't know any that would, good going ACE !!
Ace's solo's took them to higher level musically considering the simplicity of the songwriting.
Ace was the core of the KISS sound. After Ace left it was never the same band again.
No sunglasses!👍👍
Every KISS lick that gets stuck in your head Ace wrote
I forgot until 10 minutes ago how much I can't stand Howard. You have one of the greatest guitarists of our time on your show and you can't even do your homework? Jeesh. Putz.
👍
Very happy and clear Ace here!
BEST Musician In The History Of Kiss. Ace without a doubt
The MOVIE, you talk about the MOVIE!
4:22 Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer are the only 2 guys l know who can wear full KISS makeup and costumes and look nothing like Ace & Peter lol
👍🥇
they literally had a 5 minute interview with him? I get the manager said he wanted him gone but it seemed Ace was ok with staying
I assume he didn't want to break his mystic, the adage, "never meet your heroes"
ACE FOREVER !!!
Apparently, the manager wanted Ace out of there because Gorden Gebert who wrote "Kiss & Tell" a tell-all book on Ace, was on the phone waiting to speak to Ace live on the radio.
"Paul is the Ralph of the band" (proceeds to make BJ noises LOL)
The guy can't be much of a KISS fan if he doesn't realize that Paul is the heart and soul of KISS, and that Ace was just in it to be a rock star and party, and tour and record only when he felt like it.
1:57 hilarious that they’re on the show to promote the movie and Ace clearly has no idea what the movie’s about
is it past time to "Spill the Beans"? LOL
Ace is/was the true rocker and most musically talented person in Kiss.
Ace was paid $50-60k per concert for the reunion tour, and $50k for the Psycho Circus and Farewell tours.
Over the span of five years he made almost $20 million. I don’t want to hear about how unfairly he was treated. Not when he made that much money, got to travel the world for free, and stay in luxury hotels in every city.
Exactly. And he decided to leave, both in 82 and 2002. They wanted him to stay.
@@thefonzkiss Legit they wanted him for the Melbourne Symphony concert and the Aerosmith tour(it was a stipulation by promoters). They did not want to ask Peter to come back!
Plus he designed the Kiss logo so I would imagine that is why he gets a cut of every piece of merchandise sold.
He earned his $. He got paid that $ for what he contributed. Nothing was for free. Gene and Paul are businessmen pretending to be rockstars, Ace is a rockstar who knew nothing about how to be a businessman
net worth: gene 400M, paul 200M, peter 5M, ace less than 1M.
‘nuff said! hahaha
Ace is a huge rockstar friends.
As long as he's gonna gets checks he's gonna get questions.
ACE IS THE REASON KISS IS KISS!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
A true gentleman Rockstar icon 👀
Ooooh buddy you know Ace was trying so hard to hold back and not go off about them. I mean he has much more recently, and good for him.
I had no idea Ace was in a movie or cared anything about acting. I'm shocked
His daughter Monique is incredibly gorgeous...
Howard was unprepared for the interview as he himself said at the beginning that he didn't know much about Ace. Bad start. Unacceptable under any circumstances. The least he could have done is to get some type of briefing about the man, the band, the current situation, and what the guest was told he'd be in the studio for - at least, that's how I would have done it, rather that waste everyone's time.
Howard is usually very prepared. It's uncharacteristic of him to be this blind about a guest.
That's a small little interesting details that gene and Paul don't like to this day
He's not in the band but he gets part of the royalties
I love Ace especially his early guitar playing with KISS. But it's Ace's fault he's not with the band any more... same with Peter...

7:56 Ace walks by a framed copy of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. My two worlds have collided
❤ ACE the SPACEMAN FREHLEY❤
This is cast part of the kids army from the beginning original guitar player original member of KISS yeah baby
Have a good day my friends!!
Every TRUE KISS fan loves Ace! He wasn't technically great, but his style, tone and approach was SO KISS!!!
Ace was extremely talented at making his guitar playing sound great, which was the goal.
Ace is hilarious. His situation is like Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies though, he will ALWAYS be known from Kiss. And I can't understand why Sal got beat up in school. LOL
Ace didn't sound happy here, but he did say "early in the morning" before he mentions the movie. Howard, you could have hooked him up with some coffee or somethin'!
Tinfoil was the standard for us kids in the 70's. Tinfoil on a tennis racket...A GIUTAR 🎸...wrap some on your shoes and your ACE FREHLEY!! True story. So sayith The KISS ARMY KNIGHT 🛡️ Rock and Roll over and out 🪨 N 🥐
The one and only original SpaceMan. Ace Rocks 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤
The irony is that now every time Ace does a KISS appearance people just want to talk about Remedy.
Ace is Rocknroll from Bronx.
Seriously, I loved KISS in the 70's, I accepted the ARMY thing, but when the money grubby started with action figures lunch boxes condoms coffin anything to make a buck it all started to be GI Joe, Barbie and KIDS TOYS...you know?

Yeah you're not wrong, Howard got famous by exploiting women and mentally challenged people on his radio show lol.
What a pathetic interview. You have a huge star of music in your studio and you don’t bother to read anything about who he is and the kiss story or what he’s currently doing. Love Ace! Legend
Jan. Feb. March... yeah..
LoL
Howard can't stand anyone being happy!
Its in Howards nature to bring up crap to make guests uncomfortable
The Best Ace Frehley
Ace deserved better treatment than that Howard. This was a train wreck!
Ace a genuine rock star, too good for that shitty show
Wow, Howard fumbled the ball on this one. How in thee Hell could he not know too much about Ace? Not buying that.
Two sides of the coin, choose one!
Ace is a cool
Talk about Ace not kiss true that
Stern was a complete jerk. Ace did well to contain his annoyance. Ace is one who can take care of himslef & Chuck did well not to lose it. nterviewers should know something about their interviewee! Unbelievable....
What’s all the hysteria? I thought Ace was a plumber?
Ace is the best
Sal is such a buffoon! Taking Ace’s number out of the trash!🤪🤪
Thats the dumbest thing his manager can do is say Ace is done with the interview when its Stern! Fire that manager.
Sal made this funny. Ace just wanted to talk about his B movie.
Howard said he doesn’t know much about kiss. Laugh out loud laugh out loud get with it bro get with it kiss army forever.
You can tell Ace is not into the gossip. And you’d think Howard would rummage through the KISS years a little before he showed. It’s just disrespectful.
How do you have someone on your show and not know anything about them
Just got pregnant looking at Ace.
All these comments… no one points out that the tinfoil was Peter’s outfit. Also Peter is one of rocks greatest drummers. Style, technique among other things influenced so many. As they all did. There’s better bands for sure. But there is no better rock and roll band.
ACE FREHLEY ! .............. better than Angus Young
He's lying as usual. Kiss own the spaceman makeup. Ace sold it back in the 90s.
Leased. The lawyers came up with a contract, Ace got payments and as I recall that contract expired a couple years ago.
Wtf was up with Howard and that girl, they spoke really condescendingly to him and asked questions he clearly didn't want to answer, and then were like "yOu sEEm sO sAd" bruh I'd be too if I was spoken to like this
God damnit, Sal did some funny shit
I prefer peter and ace, they just wanted to be rock stars and enjoy the fame and money and have fun with it... Paul and gene always took it way too serious, to them it wasn't a passion, it was a job.
