Ace gives details about the reasoning and recording of the now famous ALIVE! record. Support Ace and buy the book: amzn.to/2VobuBR #KISS #AceFrehley #nothintolose75
I started playing guitar because of Ace. I loved all kinds of stuff like Nugent,Van Halen, Priest, Maiden, Sabbath, etc... but I only had 2 heroes. Ace and Randy Rhoads. Thanks Ace for keeping me rocked all these years!!
@@mazukakai In the case of Bogart, the engineer was probably the man. But in the case of Ezrin and Kramer, they definitely did most of the knob turning if not all.
Ace and Paul says live albums pre 75’ did no good = BS. Deep Purple-Made in Japan (live album) released 1972/1973 and was huge: Australia #1 Germany #1 Canada #1 Billboard 200 USA #6 UK album chart #16 Holland #4 Norway #7 Sweden #6 Denmark #8 etc.. Argentina 2 x platinum Austria platinum Germany platinum Italy platinum USA platinum ...
Arguably true. I liked Paul's book, in spite of his inability to NOT rag on everyone else. After having such a successful life, I'd think he could have learned to just live and let live. Gene... ... I barely finished chapter 1. I expect he is the only person in the world that can use "I" and "me" so many times in one sentence without sounding like a stutter.
Everybody knows that Gene and Paul had the John and Paul attitude. They didn't give much if a shit about Ace and Peter. No matter how you look at it, they will ALWAYS be the original KISS with them, and the most successful as well with them.
Sean Delaney said that Kiss Alive! back cover was not a Kiss audience at all, but Styx. Notice how not a single person is wearing Kiss makeup. And I loathe Styx. Just saying what I heard.
It wast a Kiss concert OR a styx concert. I heard many years ago it was a Uriah Heep show But we do know it wasn't a KISS show. They paid the kids 5.00 to hold the banner. Incredible advertising.
@@Nothintolose75 I heard Sean Delaney at a Kiss expo or cruise or something maybe in Indianapolis say it during a Q and A. It was a video on RUclips. I don't claim to be there.

dressed to kill is one of their best sounding albums....I think neil was a great producer
Definitely ! I felt that the band had grown, especially Rock n'Roll all Nite ! being considered a classic example.
The sound should be credited to the engineer, Dave Whittman. The producer usually doesn't pull tones in the studio.

@@whataboutrob442
That's because they started as engineers
Agreed
Here we go!!!👍🏻thanks for the start of a good day.
Dressed is one of my favorite albums by them
Kiss alive is one of my favorite LP's of all time!
"first three records are solid"
understatement of the book..
Shit at least he opened up with honesty here. Because it's evident that he didn't pay attention to details. And yes, till this day. He's like that.
LEGEND.
Ace was the only connection to musical credibility Kiss had.
Thank you Ace! About time somebody I look up to says something about today's shitty music!
If ALIVE! is a studio album...
... Then it's a kick your ass studio album.
'Nuff said.

Ace is cool. Why should they not improve the quality of their live-sound in the studio?
Ace and Paul says live albums pre 75’ did no good = BS.
Deep Purple-Made in Japan (live album) released 1972/1973 and was huge:
Australia #1
Germany #1
Canada #1
Billboard 200 USA #6
UK album chart #16
Holland #4
Norway #7
Sweden #6
Denmark #8
etc..
Argentina 2 x platinum
Austria platinum
Germany platinum
Italy platinum
USA platinum ...
The best book of the 4, Peter's was second best.
Arguably true.

Gene...
... I barely finished chapter 1.

This is awful - Ace should have done the narration himself

Considering the album isnt 100% live it makes sense. Its all about the image
styx is a good band idk why you loathe them
I remember Sean saying that as well. Do you remember what that was from?
