- KISS on Tom Snyder's 'Tomorrow Show' on Halloween Night 1979 (Best quality I have seen) On Oct. 31, 1979, the personality conflicts that had been privately tearing Kiss apart were made public on live national television.
It took about only 18 seconds for the band's appearance on Tom Synder's Tomorrow show to go off the rails. That's the moment when a clearly inebriated Ace Frehley starts cackling and making jokes about being the lead "trout" player, riffing off Snyder's earlier off-camera mispronunciation of "bass" guitar. Frehley's increasingly boisterous jokes, laughter and interruption soon begin to dominate the proceedings, to the obvious annoyance of the band's usual spokesmen, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
Stanley seems to laugh along through gritted teeth before immediately, but futilely, attempting to get the conversation back on course. Meanwhile, Simmons shoots death stares at his drunken bandmate, probably wishing he really could breathe fire.
But Snyder, who at one point notes that his producers had warned him Frehley would "be the hardest to make talk," clearly sees more value in his antics than the more standard biographical and promotional chatter being offered by the sober duo, and gamely eggs the Spaceman on...... Развлечения
Ace steals the show. Hilarious. The fact that Snyder goes along with it - much to Gene and Paul's seething silent frustration - makes it even funnier.
I know right. This is my favorite KISS TV appearance . Ace is a trip
That laugh at 30:34
+ at 8:44 best interruption by Ace 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RocknRollAllNight 40 years ago just feel like yesterday. This interview have become my regular StressKiller 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RocknRollAllNight u could hear Paul give that annoying junior high respond of Ooookkk
I love how Tom goes along with Ace and enables him in a way
Ikr. When I need a giggle I tune into this. 😄
Probably smelled the lame coming off of Gene and couldn’t help himself. I’d have put him and Peter in the spotlight as well!
Admit it, weve all been Ace at one point in our life
There are so many moments within moments here. Gene can't handle not being in control like he usually is.
So true, Gene was so jealous. He couldn't see straight
While Ace laughed like a Boss 🤣🤣🤣
Watching Gene's reaction is the best part..priceless seeing him aggravated .
I could feel it. Anyone could. Gene should be ashamed of himself.
Gene reminds me of the kid in school that would act out or do anything it took to be the center of attention but when the attention wasnt on him he would just sit and pout!
I agree
seen this a 1000 times and never gets old
Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣 before i found this interview I never have any idea that watching interview could be this entertaining 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Comedy gold!
@@DrMidknight Ace killing it...
Gene and Paul.... slow burn....🤬
Many of us old guys started playing guitar because of Ace. He and Peter Criss are obviously the fans favorites.
you mean 'started' playing guitar because of Ace.... yes, i agree, and so did I in a way!
I’m a young guy n ace makes me wanna be a rock star so now I take guitar much more seriously
I love how all four of them genuinely laugh at Ace's "Why did I spend all that money?" comment.
😂😂...funny too the way he mimics crying and jumps out of his chair laughing his ass off right after
@@lonewolf1053 "I'm the trout player."
"No, actually I'm a plumber."
So much of what Ace does/says in this interview is legendary.
@@NathanF11989 Tom Snyder having a blast right with Ace and Peter!...😅
It’s nice to see them laughing together and enjoying themselves like friends given their intense four way hatred for each other …
Love him laughing
For the memory of a laughtime I made this Ace laughstamp, enjoy.
3:59 the trout player
4:14 bass 🐠🐋🐟🐠🐋🐟???
5:49 Half equipment??? Half drum half bass half mic half guitar????
8:44 why I spent all that money
9:28 I don't take drugs
10:38 the telescope
11:01 the impostor
12:04 the plumber story (self expl, the main story)
13:53 trying to be serious???
14:48 Hello George
17:36 Frankie I ❤ u
19:13 the birth of the space bear 🐻🐻🐻🐻
24:06 louder and louder laugh (trying to be serious pt.2)
25:19 that's true
30:28 the bombay concert (the ending)
Thank you.
I have 2 figure out how to make his laugh into my cellphone ring tone..
@@BeingforthebenefitofMrPerkins Find some video editor and put link of this video in their link Column and then probably there's a cut feature and conversion to MP3. Something like that 👍👍👍
@@BeingforthebenefitofMrPerkins and then maybe there's an option to make that Ace mp3 into Your ringtone 👍
@@BeingforthebenefitofMrPerkinsFfff For THAT!! 😜
You forgot 22:07
Gene & to some degree Paul were the actual disasters on the show. It's very easy to see Gene seething at the attention & time up front Ace & Peter are getting. Paul looked very uncomfortable but loosened up & at times seemed to be enjoying himself. Gene was another story, there's so much one can point out about Gene's behavior in this interview but something that usually slips under the radar is when Peter said he likes collecting & shooting guns, you can hear Gene trying to coach Peter with "you mean toy guns". Gene later said he was worried about the band's image & said Ace & Peter in this interview were destroying it but when Gene was asked by Snyder what he likes to do in his time off he jokingly opened with "orgies & human sacrifices". Human sacrifices - wtf? Drunk or not Ace ruled in this interview with his stories, sense of humor & back n forth banter with Tom. If Ace or Peter had followed "the script", kept quiet, only speaking when spoken to & giving brief short answers to Tom's questions we wouldn't be watching or talking about this 40 some odd years later.
I could not agree more!!
Well said
💯
This is a great comment!
Ace: "I dont take drugs...
*Sniffs loudly
Not a Kiss fan by any measure but this was GREAT Television. Superbly directed too. The Production, Tech and Stage Crew were on their game and captured a moment.
My favorite part is when Tom says Paul breaks his guitar into teensie weensie pieces and hands them out to the crowd and then they go home and trade it for food. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, what on earth?
Gene needed to lighten up. Yeah, Ace was drunk, but he wasn't behaving badly. He was being funny and friendly and Tom was having a great time... it wasn't a bad interview, although Gene almost dragged it down with his sulking. Ace wasn't the problem here.
12:30
Synder: “But you’re kind of like a Space Man eh”
Ace: “No actually I’m a plumber…HAHAHAAaaaaaaa….on the side”
Tom: I have a pipe that needs to be worked out ...
Ace: Tell me about it! Hahaha
what kills me is how the camera zooms in on Ace right when he says "tell me about it!"
Ace: The true inventor of the the very first Build-A-Bear, Space Bear 🐻 18:47
24:15 Gene's brief awkward forced laughter is hilarious 😂
I keep watching re watching this from time to time. It’s been years and I don’t think it will stop.
My favorite Kiss interview. Ace is a trip
Ace is priceless in this interview, so hilarious, I love his laugh! =)
Incredible this interview was 41years old yesterday
But I love the fact that I feel that as if this interview just happened yesterday 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's timeless
_Gene felt uptight that Saturday night,_
_Nine o'clock, Ace was the only li-i-ight..._
When the world learned there were two camps in Kiss
Exactly right. I will say though, Paul seems to be having a much better time than Gene lol
I'd love to see a psychologist on You-tub make a video where they analyze the whole segment particularly Gene & Paul's reactions, body language & facial expressions during the interview.
Gene and Paul were pissed
It would be very interesting. I hope someone could do it.
@@micifuzvr Why waste the money?
Gene's looks and Paul's indifference says it all.
In the latest KISStory documentary they said, that they were pissed because Ace was late for the interview, showed up drunk, and act like nothing happened. This is believeable knowing Ace. They also said something about Peter laughing but not because he found the situation funny, more like because he saw Gene and Paul embarassed. Also believeable. Plus this interview back in late 70s wasnt really helping them out, as their reputation wasnt best by this time, and for many people back in the days seeing a drunk Guy telling jokes on TV was a Red flag.
And while this May be True lets face it - the interview was iconic, and is one of the small bits that created the legend of KISS. That is also a price of fame, things like that can happen
@@RocknRollAllNight Gene obviously so but Paul doesn’t seem that angry….these are definitely the days when Gene held sway over Paul….now Paul openly ridicules him
Paul and Gene are delusional with thinking Ace and Peter ruined this. They’re the only ones that show any kind of personality and charisma. Paul and Gene are so unlikeable and have no personality in this, and taking themselves way too seriously. The reason anybody rewatches this interview today is because of Aces sense of humor and personality shining through. Well I wouldn’t even think he was drunk if it weren’t for Paul and Gene mentioning it every chance they can.
I wouldn’t go so far as to describe Paul as unlikeable. Gene, maybe (although his Asberger’s moment with horror movie trivia is admittedly endearing).
Ace" I almost died that night." Gene "We finished the show"
Ace truly stole the show
Tom is having a blast with Ace and Peter...🤣🤣
6:26 *wait a minute we had no equipment we we’re broke Ace* 🤣
I guess they were rented the amp. They don't have equipment of their own. I assumed 😁😁😁
Ace is so funny!! At times he look like The Joker!!
I know, right? That's exactly how I have described him when telling people about this interview - I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it.
There is another with better Quality, but Comments are disabled. The comments are the best part. Seeing what other KISS Army members have to say is what is bad ass!! Nice upload!
True, the comment section is part of the fun
“Taurus is an earth sign. Come on, let’s get back to reality”.
😂
10:38 - "Gene was into telescopes" - Brilliant. Ace may of been drunk / stoned, but some of his lines are so funny
I love that Tom is reading the intro off of index cards.
Its weird, on one level, you wish ace and peter took it more serious, but then on the flip side, you wish gene and paul would let loose
Ace and Peter not taking it serious is why this interview is so great.
I’ve rewatched this interview a number of times over the years, brilliant, one of the best they ever did. I think the whole “Gene and Paul seething…” over Ace’s stealing the interview is overblown. I’m sure there was tension at times, alcohol didn’t help as Gene (like Frank Zappa) is a teetotaler and consequently his tolerance for Ace’s antics is short. Still, you know these guys had a lot of laughs along the way. I give Gene enormous credit for his Bill Graham inspired philosophy of “…people work their asses off 5 days a week to pay for a ticket to the show, what’s in it for them?” KISS has always delivered.
God of Thunder
"The only space bear in captivity"! Fucking priceless
Ace is hillarious
Thank you for this!
I've heard about this before, only seen clips never the entire interview and wow, this is gold. The directors really sealed it, and if the camera operators weren't cued in it probably wouldn't be as funny. You can actually see the point when the camera operator starts repeatedly going back to Gene & Paul to capture their reactions after Ace lets loose. Gene scowling and Paul cringing is just priceless and really, if Ace wasn't wasted on Stoli we wouldn't still be watching this today. What an amazing piece of pop culture history.
what was Paul thinking answering in that way, no wonder a lot of people never took the band seriously.
I know they tried their best to keep the mystique but damn, Gene and Paul took it way too far.
No matter how many times I watch this, the part when Tom fucks up and calls Gene, "George" and how Peter says Oh my god, will always make me laugh.
"I'm the trout player!" Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ace.... Gotta love him!!
he was hilarious that night
We all do 👍👍👍👍
One of the GREATEST rock bands to ever take the stage.
After Ace says he's the trout player you can see him at about 4:06 saying something like "what?", in response to probably Gene telling him to knock it off. Gene and Paul's assholes were puckered too tight.
Gene was a stick in the mud
Their New underwear like Tightness are legendary 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was watching at Peter, Gene is in fron of him.
RUclips could have put the translation since for years When they speak, we do not understand (french)
That laugh 😂😂
I love this interview. I was fan from 74 to 77. It was obvious the deterioration of the band was in full gear.
I completely agree.
My favorite interview. Some people, including Gene, think it's terrible because Ace was so lively and on point. I don't think it was that bad, because it served its purpose of "getting them into themselves". Gene and Paul did have a few (feeble) laughs, but this was the first time that Ace really talked about himself on vamers. Yes, he was drunk, because he was nervous before the show. But if the viewers really listen to him, they'll learn more than the stock answers that Paul and Gene usually give.
Ace was always authentic. Gene and Paul were always giving scripted answers. This is my favorite rock band interview ever
💯
Tom set him up with the “piece of pipe backstage” remark and he swung for the fences without hesitation lol. Tom knew exactly what he was doing…
*tom laughs at ace*
Gene: you’re having a rotten time aren’t you tom?
I think gene was trying a jedi mind trick on tom lol
lol
This is endlessly fascinating and entertaining
Great interview......
Maybe the best KISS interview ever. PC seems a bit absent. PS takes an active part. AF is just having a good time. Thanks to various substances. GS gets pointed out that he is not the center of attention. His face derails more than once. He has not learned to this day.
It is Kiss' best interview. It was great fun and Ace and Peter gave real answers to questions and not the Gene and Paul usual bullshit answers.
@@RocknRollAllNight That's right. PC looks a bit lost sometimes and tired. But when replys he is present. PS+GS are their own biggest fans and doing their usual "spinal tap'ish" show. 🙈
Gene and Paul (but mostly Gene) look like they are getting violent anal probes here.
I love the original. Ying yang. Outa control verse always in control. This is why it worked. Getting up there in years. Whomever passes away first I'm sure all the others will attend the farewell
God bless the fun n great rock they stand for😎
Well said!
Hilarious. G and Paul are so PISSED!
Luckily for them that they weren't Pissed on their pants 🤣🤣🤣 or.. Maybe
Gene was more pissed than Paul. Paul at times laughed. But back stage, who knows what Paul was like after the interview.
Fun fact: Tom Snyder had a small speaking part in an episode of the Rifleman with Chuck Connors. RIP Tom Snyder
While I’m not sure what to do with that information, thank you for the fun fact!
@@kramalerav I suppose just look for the episode Toms in,,,, clue, hes on a horse...
"But your kinda like a space man?" . . . Snyder
"No actually I'm a plumber," . . . Ace.
my favorite kiss interview of all time
I love them so much
Ace is the only one who seems like a fun guy.
Ace is hillarious
30:29 "If we did a concert in Bombay there would even be ----" What was that? "Cows"? Lol
Gene desperately wants to be the center of attention. It's funny watching him try to be so serious.
Even Tom Snyder looked at him crazy for a second...like...."Lighten up dude!...Snyder loves him some Ace!...
Ah yes! George! My favourite member of Kiss.
George is HANDS DOWN everyone’s favourite KISS member. It’s a shame after this interview they completely wiped all mentions of George from KISStory.
17:10 "Go to Paul´s!" lmao
I've never seen Gene and Paul so happy lmao
lol
@@RocknRollAllNight 🤣
I wanna say that it does suck Gene and Paul turned out how they did cause kiss made great music dont get me wrong Ace Gene paul and peter were awesome i just dont understand why paul and gene turn out how they didnt what caused it @@RocknRollAllNight
Gene seemed fascinated with Ace being able to build remote control helicopters with bluetooth technology that could be used on guitars. They all seemed pretty close it's sad how it turned out.
I always get the sense that Paul and Gene never truly hated Ace….that Ace is just such a head case that it’s hard to get truly angry at him….more so frustrated….and they recognized his talent and actually wished he would contribute more….whereas they seem to actively hate Peter….Peter seems volatile and violent, and unpredictable…..
They must have had some sort of camaraderie especially in the early days. Peter went completely nuts with the drugs/woman/stardom by Dynasty and started actively sabotaging the band live. Ace was just off the reals but as you said he had a lot of talent and was a bit of a savant. Absent the substance abuse he probably could have had a very good solo career or could have contributed well to another group. It’s abundantly clear from reading all their books that all four were dysfunctional with their own quirks. If not for their common goal they’d have never crossed paths. It’s a miracle they were able to accomplish what they did without actually killing each other.
@@decristo1021
*”Peter seems volatile..violent, and unpredictable..”*
What are you basing this off of? I didn’t get that feeling at all.
@@kramaleravme neither.
Ace is a hoot. 👍🏼
Ace is hilarious!! Was never a Kiss fan.
Saw them open for Maiden in Long Beach in 84’ no make up. I have to admit, they put on one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.
KISS never opened for anyone in the 80s
9:08 Peter tells Ace after his oh I spent all that money joke "You'll suffer in the dressing room." Meaning Gene and Paul are going to read him the riot act in the dressing room after the show.
I never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out
8:51 Woah nelly, the audio went bonkers for a second
I wish I had Aces laugh. Love it
It’s so awkward when Gene keeps shouting out to his mom lol
ALL of Gene's jokes fell flat! Don't try to compete with Ace in the joke department, Gene!
Ace was hilarious!! My favorite rock band interview of all time!!
Gene has the comedic timing of a dead goat.
" ace is famous for his bad balance" bwwaaahaaa
Paul Stanley has no sense of humor. He is clearly annoyed because unlike the concerts he doesn't dominate the conversation. Watch any given Kiss concert and you'll see Paul's boring cliché monolouges. Ace did rock n roll all nite and party on Tomorrow that day!
Even from the beginning it is clearly that Gene and Paul was trying to dominated the interview toward Plain tasteless Boring conversation and trying to put all of us to sleep. While Ace manage to keep us Awake and laughed the whole time. Thank you Ace 😎😎😎
I never cared for KISS' disco fallout. 2000 Man, a Stones cover, ranks as the hot song from 'Dynasty.'
That RULES. Ace is the MAN!
31:27 Got to give it to Gene... Calling Tom "Ralph" because of the "Bass" thing.
Classic Ace.....
HEY. Stanley Eisen. You couldn't find CRIME In Queens. .New York😂😂😂.
LOL
Ace and Peter should’ve fired Gene and Paul, not the other way around.
Actually I’m a Plumber 🧑🔧 😂
I wonder if Tom did go to a KISS show way back when. - 32:09
The part where Paul talks about sleeping with a 16 year old. Yikes.
Space bear!
I would have loved to drink with ace and Peter in their prime !!
6:44 look how disturbed and furious Paul and gene get whenever Ace n Peter say anything that takes the attention away from them. They’re trying to put on a act and ace and Peter are just being themselves. Gene and Paul needed to chill out clearly.
No, actually I’m a plumber. Epic as Dark Souls.
best ever
6:57 Paul and Gene getting furious because Ace and Peter keep taking the attention from them
Gene is furious, Ace steal his "GOD of thunder"
I LOVE ACE! kieh kieh kieh
Ace admits he was so wasted during this interview, look at the pissed off faces Gene gives
in Toms defense he had a great fishing trip that weekend.
12:18 let me tell you something: *HAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
lol
Human vs Corporate; who'll win?
That pipe line is too much !
⭐⭐⚡⚡⭐⭐ there is not a kiss-song i can think of that i do not like...but when it comes to ace...he sounded different...special...his songs are ace-songs !!!⭐⭐⚡⚡⭐⭐
Dude has an easy going cavalier talent for song writing…rocket ride is a total opus….parasite is amazing, even dark light is excellent
@@decristo1021 His streetwise voice seals the deal on his songs.
Haha 10:40 gene was into telescopes
Definitely 🤣 that's much better rather than waving back the whole time 🤣🤣🤣
Gene keeps saying "Hi Mom" which is sweet bur i wonder what the reason is for doing it over again through out
Mentioning Dan Ackroyd wasn't intentional but it must have poked Paul's heart just a bit. Anyone know why?
I think he stole Paul’s GF at the time
Paul was dating Donna Dixon and ended up marrying Akroyd. He had no idea she was even seeing him
Drugs are cool, Exhibit: Ace 😏😎
Do you guys think they didn't put the second part of the interview on Kissology Volume 1 because of Paul's scandalous hotel story? And the fact that Tom called Gene "George" lol.
12:42 Tell me about it
12:43
best rock band interview ever!
27:12 i wonder if they were telling him not do the Nazi salute because it kind of looked like he was about to after he mentioned the Germans...
If so, I'm glad they stopped him
He actually kinda did though
That would've been funny but really damaging hahaha
An interesting moment, considering Paul's later suggestions that Ace and Peter were a bit anti-semitic. If Ace actually was going for the salute, I'm not suggesting for a moment that he would have meant it seriously, but to even do a it jokingly in front of your two Jewish bandmates is kind of on the nose, to put it mildly.
@@pszczolka80pun unintended? 🙈😆
