7:28 I don't understand it either. I have viewed all 3 episodes of this interview. Ace seems like a good dude. He admits his own faults. And not 1 time does he disrespect the other guys.
He calls them control freaks, and says they always out voted him is why he left, leaving out the fact he doing drugs and his performance was declining.
@Cameron cash Hopkins come on man, I like Ace a lot, but there's no denial that the drink and drug abuse fucked Ace's capabilities at some point; I mean the guy is talented as hell but he just let it slip through his hands to the point of absurd... I saw his show on Poughkeepsie in the early 90's and I had a blast... That's drugs for ya.
ace is the reason I am a kiss fan since 1974 I saw kiss in st Louis at the kshe kite fly and that was it for me kiss with ace will always be in my top 5 bands of all time
This is how it seemed to me if you was a metal head true rocker you was and ace fan if you was a chick you was a Paul fan kids who jumped on the bandwagon was a gene fan and drummers stick together lol
I got to see his solo group live about six years ago, a couple months after seeing KISS. That was pretty sweet, since that was the height of my KISS fandom. It was a great show.
I actually got to put my arms around him during CreaturesFest! And when it was my turn for a picture with him, the camera guy teasingly said, “Hey, Ace, look! It’s your bride-to-be!” And Ace didn’t exactly voice any objections or protestations on being set up like that. But then he doesn’t know yet I happen to be Gene’s niece--I think that might scare him a bit, like, “Oh my god of thunder! Gene is finally gonna officially kill me!”
Ace is my favorite guitarist of all time his helped me through hard times and inspired me so much I genuinely hope the best for him his such a genuine person and I care so deeply about him even if I'm just a stranger to him. Space Ace Forever!!!
Ace has said that He & Gene get along great. He & Paul get along great. But, you put the three together....and that's when there's trouble. He seems like a funny, fun loving kinda guy. It's sad that Ace and Peter let their habits get it n the way of their music for a while. Ace is sober now. God Bless him!
I heard a rumor that there’s a curse on the four original members of KISS, because of what happened to Fox. The supposed curse basically goes that if Paul and Gene and Ace and Peter try to have a reunion of any kind, it’ll end in KISSaster. At first I scoffed at the idea of such a thing--but then their reunion tour wasn’t exactly a bed of roses, and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame didn’t exactly go so well, either, did it? If there really is a curse, I hope there’s some way to undo it, because what happened to Fox wasn’t their fault, and I don’t think they should have to be made to spend the rest of their lives without ever seeing each other again because of it! They’re BROTHERS, for pity’s sake!
I still have a copy of Kiss Meets The Phantom of The Park on VHS. Waiting for that day I know how to make it digital LOL! LOVED that movie as a kid and as a revisit in my adult years, I couldn't love it any more.
The band members look better on the original (better costumes and a better painting of Ace's face), but the background looks better in Resurrected. Dare to compare i.ytimg.com/vi/QAwBmDYwzZ0/maxresdefault.jpg 4.bp.blogspot.com/-FarDxVGtIwU/UEamc7aE4eI/AAAAAAAAISE/XgkNUMpjcgY/s1600/Kiss-Destroyer-Resurrected.jpg
That farewell tour concert I saw 🪚 was great took along my binoculars for that one,Ace was the favorite not taking away anything from the other dudes though, but does seem generic without Ace 🎸🎸
I have been on a Kiss rabbit hole binge, especially on their interviews and Ace by and far away is the only one who tries to be diplomatic, most the time, and "polite" even about his difference with the others, he always puts things in a favorable light to them even when criticizing.
'96 Reunion should have been the end of Kiss as embarrassing now for Kiss. They could have gone out on a high like Sabbath but have chosen to limp on for reasons no one understands. The '96 reunion I attended 3 gigs and after that who would want to see Kiss without Ace. They have become a parody now.
I don't agree about Sabbath going out on a high as you put it. Drummer Bill Ward alive and willing wasn't a part of the ending because they "supposedly" wouldn't give him a signable contract. He wasn't on 13 or part of the last tour which will always be something I'll never get over or be able to accept. Bill was as important as the rest of that band and equally a part of what made them who they were. So for myself the end of Sabbath was so wrong.
uh.. The farewell tour was in 2000. (I know because it was my first concert EVER.) '96 woulda been the reunion tour. So that part was a lil confusing for me. :/
It's not only Peter Criss who says that he feels like being treated as worker/Second class member apparently Ace says almost the same thing of feels like being treated as a Sideboy. I guess something really wrong happening on KiSS. Me personally feel like Ace n Peter are being used on this Case. I mean why among Billions of people in the world they choose to bring back Ace n Peter. I think because they know without Ace n Peter there's no hope for them to bring back old success. And because a lot of KiSS fans will always remember KiSS as original 4.Yet Gene n Paul are too ashamed to admit it 😁😁😁😁
I think it’s also partly because Paul and Gene feel ashamed they let Peter and Ace get into such bad states instead of looking out for them like good brothers should (Peter and Ace BOTH could’ve ended up statistics just like Kirk Cobain and so many other poor unfortunate rock stars). So when they brought them back, they were trying to make up for it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Am I wrong?
Ace didn't say he liked or didn't like kiss meets the phantom, he just didn't care either way,but the interviewer says, he liked it,that's how things become misleading, why don't these so called journalists just shut the f up and listen
Love u so much Ace! Regardless of what he has done when he was young he got taken advantage of and shit on...i feel bad for Ace:( sweet good boy! They All should have been equally paid on that reunion tour regardless! Maby not if it was just a concert but many many shows?!?? ... Wrong! Shame on Gene n Paul!
Ace is the only one from the original group who will tell the truth. Paul on the other hand is full of BS. His book was so self indulgent and narcissistic it made me dislike him.
In his sobriety his memory is much better people need to back off on his intelligence ace was the only true musician in kiss and my fav he’s humble honest and laid back gene is greedy Paul blames everyone else and makes everyone even gene out to be lazy and only thinking of them self’s Peter just got to drugged out to play and be in the band ace is the backbone and motor of that band when he left kiss was already dead from Paul and genes choice to go more in a pop direction
Ace has been and ALWAYS will be the best and coolest member of Kiss.
Agreed, he makes the vibe better he’s funny, and he creates a power wave whenever he picks up a guitar and walks into the room. Can NEVER be copied
The man is adorable. He has a great personality and that laugh is contagious. Oh...and a musical genius.
genius??
Ace Frehley has to be one of the most honest Rock Stars in Rock N Roll! Love Ace!
“If you would’ve asked if it was inspired by groupies I would’ve said yeah probably”
“So was it inspired by groupies”
“No.”
How can you not love Ace?
He seems so laid back and chill.
My all time favorite KISS band member
I loved the Kiss movie as a kid. And this guy is always what made Kiss, Kiss and my favourite member.
ace is genuinely i think one of my favourite people ever, he seems like such a nice guy
What an absolutely lovely guy . Love him
Ace is the best 🤘🏼
Ace still the most legit member of KISS. FTW!
Gatpig I like Ace and Eric the most
@@ihnchaser10 Which Eric? There’s two of them, don’t forget
Love the Phantom in the Park movie. Love Ace! He's so fun and laid back compared to the rest of Kiss.
I think the movie is hilarious.
"Hah thes es Ace Freleh an your watchin' Loudweh!"
dude I'm pretty sure I just woke the neighbors up from laughing so hard
I just fuckin *wheeeeezed*...WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT SHIT 😂😂😂
He actually said WILDwire......
The one KISS member who never let the money and fame get to his head
I loved Phantom of the Park, I may still have it on VHS.
Ack
Love the Ace fact or fiction!
According to Ace we are watching Loudwiuh..
The kid finally pronounced Ace's last name correctly this time. 🤣
Love how he can laugh at everything lol
He sounds drunk even when he's sober I just love Ace

@@grimjester2498 ..So that’s why Paul begged him to stay? Paul says this as well as Ace.

This is how it seemed to me if you was a metal head true rocker you was and ace fan if you was a chick you was a Paul fan kids who jumped on the bandwagon was a gene fan and drummers stick together lol
As a kid of 7 in 77 and as an old ass man now, i just love that guy
Ace was my favorite member of Kiss. he's awesome. Never had the chance to see him live, but Definitely want to.
I got to see his solo group live about six years ago, a couple months after seeing KISS. That was pretty sweet, since that was the height of my KISS fandom. It was a great show.

Ace rocks, he was my hero as a kid, still is.
Ace is my favorite guitarist of all time his helped me through hard times and inspired me so much I genuinely hope the best for him his such a genuine person and I care so deeply about him even if I'm just a stranger to him. Space Ace Forever!!!
This guitarist influenced so many to pick an' grin. Mainly me when i heard KISS Alive 1 in '75!

@@ForceMaximus84 Yeah
I still have a copy of Kiss Meets The Phantom of The Park on VHS. Waiting for that day I know how to make it digital LOL! LOVED that movie as a kid and as a revisit in my adult years, I couldn't love it any more.
The original album artwork for Destroyer was released as the cover of Destroyer Resurrected .
The band members look better on the original (better costumes and a better painting of Ace's face), but the background looks better in Resurrected.

Yeah, they had to change the cover because of the new costumes. The original cover had the previous tours costumes.
The Destroyer Resurrected cover is actually fake. It's not the original cover.
@@roaringviking5693 thank you! Resurrected cover is not thee Original!
Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park is classic.
Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction - King Diamond.
Make it happen.
pachoycamico yes yes yes yes!
Greg...are you stepping down?
Love my Ace!
That shade at the end though!
My fav kiss
Still have his solo album in picture disc and it was the best out of all of them, wonder what it's worth not that I would sell it.
Update: The original cover of Destroyer was featured on the Anniversary Remastered release of Destroyer.
OMG his voice is so funny.
We need a Bluray release of “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park” with a commentary track by all four members of KISS.
6:50 I saw them live on that 2001 Australian tour!
That farewell tour concert I saw 🪚 was great took along my binoculars for that one,Ace was the favorite not taking away anything from the other dudes though, but does seem generic without Ace 🎸🎸
I have been on a Kiss rabbit hole binge, especially on their interviews and Ace by and far away is the only one who tries to be diplomatic, most the time, and "polite" even about his difference with the others, he always puts things in a favorable light to them even when criticizing.
I luv Ace. He gets it.
Didn't Ace also smash his copy of "Music From 'The Elder' " against the wall after finding out his solos were not used?

You're wrong. Sonic Boom is a pretty decent album.
thovlasslayer Except he's right. Kiss is basically a cover band now. No Ace and Peter, No Kiss. Period
@@theovlach
It’s mediocre.
I don't agree about Sabbath going out on a high as you put it. Drummer Bill Ward alive and willing wasn't a part of the ending because they "supposedly" wouldn't give him a signable contract.

Ace is pretty cool man
ace ''y'know" frehley
The best kiss member
Ace laughs like a drunken goat Haha
He & Vince Neil look a lot a like now & days
Exactly!
so you're saying they both got fat.
Their voices sound even similar.
I bet Ace could pull off lead vocals on Motley Crue concert.
Though he does. I also think he looks a lot like Brent Spiner
But, Vince is about 15 years younger.
Without Ace and Peter it's not KISS
Good stuff.bro
"Very profound."😂
the original destoyer cover is released as destroyer resserecuted
I'll bet he's digitizing those tapes now.
yall should have went to a couple pawn shops with a good guitar/amp selection. would have been good
Does anyone update the Wikipedia pages after these interviews?
Yes, but frequently they revert it back. Wikipedia doesn't consider these videos " a good source" for some stupid reason.
@@medes5597how is that possible lol
Does he have grammy oscar at his basement?
Nope.
But one of their albums was nominated for a Grammy.
Damn I even had to pay the groupies how’d that work ace lol
I love Kiss meets the phantom of the Park.
uh.. The farewell tour was in 2000. (I know because it was my first concert EVER.)
'96 woulda been the reunion tour. So that part was a lil confusing for me. :/
no they did two farewell tours
Edorra Official yeah but the second is going on right now
Am I the only one who liked the movie damn
IM Afrayed loved that movie , went into the city to see it
My grand slam was supposed to be with sausage

I love Ace since I was a KISS. It was cool, sexy, beautiful and cute.
Iron maiden fact or fiction
I thought this was Vince Neal
Ace didn't say he liked or didn't like kiss meets the phantom, he just didn't care either way,but the interviewer says, he liked it,that's how things become misleading, why don't these so called journalists just shut the f up and listen
I have learned that Gene liked Ace but Paul did not.
Speak English ace frehley good teacher
The end finally
Love u so much Ace! Regardless of what he has done when he was young he got taken advantage of and shit on...i feel bad for Ace:( sweet good boy! They All should have been equally paid on that reunion tour regardless! Maby not if it was just a concert but many many shows?!?? ... Wrong! Shame on Gene n Paul!

This guy has been so drunk and high for the majority of his life that it's hard to believe anything he says.
Problem is that I believe him over Paul or Gene
At least he doesn't lie to make himself look good like some of the other kiss members
This is what authenticity looks like.
