    Ace paid for his own Kiss album. My new favorite Kiss member.

    I went to see Kiss in 1996 in Cincinnati and was happy for the chance to see the original band reformed if nothing else just for nostalgia and the spectacle . But I was surprised that they were such a tight rock band . It was clear to me that they were veterans and they knew what they were doing. I've seen a lot of good live bands , Black Sabbath , Van Halen, Judas Priest ACDC , Soundgarden ,Pearl Jam etc and Kiss were as good as any of them . The theatrics were great and cool to watch but the band could play their instruments and had a chemistry and that was important to me .

      I can barely express how the things Paul and Gene have done since those reunion tours have damaged my sentiments toward the band. If I feel this bad, I can only imagine how Ace and Pete must feel, paychecks aside.
      I'm not saying that Peter and Ace didn't do their fair share of exacerbating a tense situation, but the very idea of those two guys having to sign and agree with employment contracts while fucksticks Paul and Gene rake in millions DEPENDENT UPON Peter and Ace being on the stage just makes me fucking sick.

      Quit crying. They are still kicking ass, and Peter and Ace don't deserve to be in the band today. You can guarantee that the leads and drum parts are on point. I've seen them twice during this final tour. 100 times better than the shit-show in 2000.

      Dude I don't give a FUCK how 75 year-old lip synching rock musicians "sound". And hot stock tip; no one fucking cared in 1977 either. Are you going to spend your money to see Gene and Paul's "Best KISS Tribute Band"-contest winner when they take over and start touring under the KISS name so that those two Geritol-huffing colostomy bags can continue to pound the last shards of cool that once defined them into dust mites?

      Ace is still releasing original music with no clown show gimmicks and Peter retained his dignity, quit while he was ahead.

    Thanks for putting this fascinating novel on the on line. Mr. Frehley's vocabulary is really cranking good.😂 One of the best nights of my life 💓 was at the KISS concert in the 70's at the West Palm Beach auditorium. The pyrotechnics scared me a bit and I loved it.❤❤

    Ace is right. A song like "Kissin' Time" demaged their image.

      @@spiritualcramp8000 But whether or not anonymity is a good thing or a bad thing depends upon the individual's attitude. Some people join bands and get into show biz solely because they want to be recognized and given attention. Fame is a drug. It has a different effect on different people.To some it would defeat the purpose of putting in all the work if nobody really knew who was doing it
