Thanks Ace.....you sir are the reason I play guitar for 34 years, you sir are the reason I play Gibson Les Pauls exclusively. Thanks you sir for all your amazing music and hellacious bluesy riffs. Thank you for showing me the pentatonic blues scale can be made to sound incredible.
Ace Frehley was my 1st Guitar hero. When I picked up KISS ALIVE! my life was changed forever. Thanks Ace for being such a great guy. I got to see you on December 12th, 2019 in Angola, Indiana. I was so excited & you didn't let me down, you & your band were great!!!
Love Kiss and especially Ace! He has always been my fave member of the group. Ace also has never been never been given credit for the influence he had in rock guitar playing. I think his style of playing is one of the best in rock history!!
Strangely, I LOVE The Elder. I’m a huge Kiss freak, and it is my favorite album. Everybody bust my balls but I don’t care. Kiss ruins a lot of their music for fans a lot by opening their mouths. I definitely don’t mean Ace Frehley, I specifically mean Paul and Gene. I’ve read the books, I’ve heard all the interviews, and they pretty much fuck up everything from my childhood every time they talk. They talk about how much they don’t enjoy the music they made etc. They talk shit on the other members constantly. Gene is just a cheesy money grubbing goofball to me now. ACE RULES!!!!
exactly the guy just INSIST in MIX his story with ace's one ...it is RIDICOLOUS if you want to be recognized let people do that .... even ace stops to speak to see that kid talking shit damet
At 4:48 min. Ace is trying to pull a usb dongle out of the laptop, probably to avoid the stories of his past. 😊 By the way, Ace is legend and my biggest inspiration to play guitar too.
@@sspbrazil yeah ...all they are i think ...they are a very nice band and their story shows how life works ...Ace was unresponsable for sure ...not a guy to trust this is why I not die for him like the others I prefer kulick
A fera interior I would not die for any rock star, I would only die for my family. Ace helped make KISS what they are, without him, they would have never reached the success they reached. Kulick might be better behaved, but he’s just a stand in going through the motions, so they can keep the KISS marketing machine going and make more money for Gene.
CrissDrums oh no that was not Peter or Ace! Sorry! I would only go see the ‘Real Kiss’!!! But I don’t think they’ll play together again unless they invite Ace n Peter back into their own character’s they created as their own!!! Regardless of paperwork those characters were created by Ace n Peter n will always represent Ace n Peter! Only on the Reunion/Farewell tour has Ace n Peter, Gene n Paul played together as the true ‘KISS’💋
If two guys are on the same drugs , and the right drugs, they can lock in playing music better than two guys who are only high on their respective egos.
Wonder why so many people have such sour grapes about this. It's his show. He worked with ace in the 80s. Why shouldn't he add his personal experience? Do you know anyone in the field you work in? If so, do people disrespect you for it?
Oh please I can write what I want ....who cares Eddie going to be Eddie and I’m still going keep on listing and where I work we give each other shit all the time So if I’m giving Eddie shit he doesn’t care and by the way I have the Ace footage on mtv when Eddie came out So have good weekend and happy Valentine’s Day 😁
I heard people make fun of or ask why the Elder was ever made for decades before I actually listened to it. After hearing it I really didn't understand what was so awful about it. I guess not being a diehard Kiss fan I was able to just hear it as a rock album from 1980 like any other. Hell I liked Crazy Nights and Tears are Falling and Heaven on Fire and lots of the stuff from their supposedly forgettable years in the mid 80s . There was certainly worse material coming out then and there was worse albums than the Elder at the time it was released
Maybe if he'd been more reliable, and stopped drinking and drugging, and being late for flights and not turning up due to card games, and not helping with band business at all for 15 years, and kept practicing, and not being lazy and....
They were supposed to do COTN instead of the Elder. That's why Ace was so upset about them switching it & doing the Elder. I think COTN with a happy, focused Ace would've been great.
Scott Ian, it's pronounced Frahley... is he really a Kiss fan? He always rips on Paul Stanley... I know he's a fan boy for Angus Young.... that one trick pony sucks. Kiss rules!
@@jamesbarnett2483 To come up with a garbage concept album, sure. The sub par dungeons and dragons story is laughable. They did not understand the medium they were working in., it was frankly beyond them and it shows.
Well, you have your (very) subjective opinion, and you offered it up. Ok then. The fact that you think there’s a linear path that defines what a “concept album” should be proves your intellect is questionable at best even tackling this discussion. Just stop. There seems to be a little Kiss hating agenda going on here and I have no use for them anymore, either, other than the old records. But please with the condescension of questioning someone’s intellect because of what you think something should be. There is no “medium” in the abstract that defines what a “concept album” should be.
@@magicman322 You're the only person that mentioned a linea story line so hush your beak. The album is an abomination from day one when Gene wrote a tired little hero story. Nobody cares what you want to hear, just stop. Look at the greatest concept albums, this one died before they recorded a note. They were a spent force, they'd tried pop, disco. This was just another desperate grasp onto something. You only have to hear Gene or Paul talk about other musical genres to see they are clueless, knuckle dragging philistines. Thats a fact whether it pleases you or not is of no interest to me at all.
Eddie must be getting a gratuity for obsessively promoting KISS. Sadly he’s ignoring thousands of more worthy bands. KISS has always been a circus act.
Ace is so genuine. One of a kind. Love that guy.

Eddie always throws himself into the conversation
I seriously want that box set!!
when when ????
"Who's the drummer in Kiss right now?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Ace sounds very lucid and "normal" here. Glad he's healthy.
Yeh, he's been "sober for the last 12 years"....
Trouble is: Ace has been "sober for the last 12 years" - FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS.
Too bad he was a complete fuck up when he needed to be straight
Love it when Ace and Eddie get together. Awesome interview... thanks Eddie!
So you like the sound of a plump man sucking off a guitar player?
It’s always good hear them
Love Kiss and especially Ace! He has always been my fave member of the group. Ace also has never been never been given credit for the influence he had in rock guitar playing. I think his style of playing is one of the best in rock history!!
Trunk's favorite Beatles song ? I Me Mine
I really liked The Elder, Unfortunately there wasn't any support for it.
its good but only has like 4 decent songs on it
I love The Elder!
I'd put "The Oath" in my top 5 favorite KISS songs.

@@alleyuseless Nothing wrong with that! The Elder is an awesome! Highly underrated!
A dark light kills it
Eddie: «Me, me, me, me, me»
It's his show what do you expect? Why the sour grapes? He worked with ace in the 80s, they are friends, what's the problem?
YOU !!! DICK ! DICK ! DICK !
exactly the guy just INSIST in MIX his story with ace's one ...it is RIDICOLOUS if you want to be recognized let people do that .... even ace stops to speak to see that kid talking shit damet
Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo mo
@@picassoboy52 Thats the internet painter. People just bitch about anything and everything. Its the only platform they can feel relevant.
love Ace interviews. ACK
There's only 1 ACE !!!😎👍🏻👍🏻
I love when Ace laughs after he says, "...where all the Rockettes used to walk by." It really implies he's dated more than a few of them.
Def a brush w greatness and a baton was handed down he was just an empty vessel now look at him hes Ace Frehley! 🎸🤩🤘
Thank you Ace. The elder is a good album. I actually would call it great. I'm sick of Paul Gene and Bob cutting it up
“I drank a lot of cough syrup” me too ace, me too..
Very cool Ace recorded New York Grove!
Ill buy the ace frehley safe!
I like hearing Ace...
Great conversation.👍
You see that speck of dust on Ace’s sunglasses? Yeah that’s me.
Might've been Bully Maguire's failed attempt to put some dirt in his eye.
I can’t understand how a band can forget that they are a rock band 🤷🏻♀️
So Eddie knows more of Aces history than Ace does. Ace had a damn good time back in the day....
Will S “had a damn good time back in the day” = abusing alcohol and drugs and losing your career. You are a complete dullard.
Cocaine’s a helluva drug...
@@sjs1555 You know what he meant, wtf is your problem
At 4:48 min. Ace is trying to pull a usb dongle out of the laptop, probably to avoid the stories of his past. 😊
By the way, Ace is legend and my biggest inspiration to play guitar too.
This is good to hear.
The Elder is a MASTERPIECE! wtf?
I never liked KISS much, but Ace was the best part of that band and has the best sense of humor.
this is what non fans use to say
A fera interior but it’s true, he’s the one with the most talent and the most personable.
@@sspbrazil yeah ...all they are i think ...they are a very nice band and their story shows how life works ...Ace was unresponsable for sure ...not a guy to trust this is why I not die for him like the others I prefer kulick

@@sspbrazil Actually I dont think so. Paul wrote mostly everything
Heres a link to the Second Sighting dust cover with Eddie's feet www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/818621
Its great seeing Ace and Peter at all these Kiss concerts.
CrissDrums Ace n Peter are not at the ‘KISS Shows’!!!!!
@@robinlove2729 their not? I just saw them in Allentown last. Ace did a solo and Peter played Beth
CrissDrums oh no that was not Peter or Ace! Sorry! I would only go see the ‘Real Kiss’!!! But I don’t think they’ll play together again unless they invite Ace n Peter back into their own character’s they created as their own!!! Regardless of paperwork those characters were created by Ace n Peter n will always represent Ace n Peter! Only on the Reunion/Farewell tour has Ace n Peter, Gene n Paul played together as the true ‘KISS’💋
I think Scott Ian called in and talked to Ace about Madison square garden
yea it is Scott Ian
ACE FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only rocker in the band I loved and ended up hating; KISS
Ace n Peter really clicked together live.. they were both high af
If two guys are on the same drugs , and the right drugs, they can lock in playing music better than two guys who are only high on their respective egos.
Elder...of one or more out of a group of associated people of a greater age. LMFAO!
Dude at 9:50 sounds like Ace too 😂
god... just when I thought I could take Trunk.. It's all about him.
Who is the second interviewer? Is it Scott Ian ?? Can't tell for sure
The Speed of the audio is waaaaay too fast.
I thought ACE was on helium when i first heard him speak.
Being that the stupendous drum sound they got on Creatures of the night is there a possibility that Eric’s drum tracks were recorded separately???
How is the Oath not heavy?
I agree and Mr Blackwell was pretty heavy to
Is this sped up? Their voices sound a tiny bit higher pitched than normal
It is sped up, likely to keep Eddie from having it taken down.
The gang movie was The Warriors, not the Wanderers
Jason Foster There was also a movie called The Wanderers which portrayed a gang called Ducky Boys
God eddie gets worse and worse about the whole (insert me into any and every story as if I'm in the band shit)
Haha haha haha! I know man. I know someone just like that but on a lesser degree.
The last guy on the phone is Scott Ian I am pretty sure!
It sounds like a young version of Scott
Now that I listen more, I’m pretty sure it’s him too
It is
I was wondering
I'm guessing the first caller was DOCTOR FUCC.
Ace sounds exactly like Elmer from crank yankers
The “Elmer” lol bye
Why is trunks voice the wrong speed?
I've heard this interview before. Feb, 8th 2020 is not the correct date. This was done sometime last year.
I fucking hate it when they do this
Oh no Eddie it’s about me again Let Ace talk
Wonder why so many people have such sour grapes about this. It's his show. He worked with ace in the 80s. Why shouldn't he add his personal experience? Do you know anyone in the field you work in? If so, do people disrespect you for it?

He wrote the book with John ostrosky? Is he Kin to Howard sterns toothy wife beth??
The Wanderers? It is the Warriors . . .
When was this taken place? Sounds old
Spaceman record was released in October of 2018, and this was 3 days before., so 2018
Safe Ace box set lol
It blows my mind that 2000 man was written by the stones it seems like it was wrote for Ace how ironic
Eddie is always bragging on himself .
Is this recent or a older interview?
2018... Before EOTR Tour kicked off
I heard people make fun of or ask why the Elder was ever made for decades before I actually listened to it. After hearing it I really didn't understand what was so awful about it.

Trunk made it all about him
Ace Free-lee.
Ace FRAY-lee
Shut up Eddie You talk to much! Let Ace do most the talking, stop enterupting Ace or crying out loud!!!!!
Mike Simms He can’t help it. It’s always about the trunk smh
Poor guy wanted to get back in the band and they shut the door
Maybe if he'd been more reliable, and stopped drinking and drugging, and being late for flights and not turning up due to card games, and not helping with band business at all for 15 years, and kept practicing, and not being lazy and....
"if we had done Creatures Of The Night... " -- Ace didn't do COTN. he's not on it.
@Andy Spencer yeah. you're probably right.
They were supposed to do COTN instead of the Elder. That's why Ace was so upset about them switching it & doing the Elder. I think COTN with a happy, focused Ace would've been great.
Scott Ian, it's pronounced Frahley... is he really a Kiss fan? He always rips on Paul Stanley... I know he's a fan boy for Angus Young.... that one trick pony sucks. Kiss rules!
FREH-LEE
@@phillynott2459 -- FRAY-lee.
Hey, aren't you dead?
Yeah, The original Russ Ballard version of New York groove is pretty bad.
kiss should have quited in 2003.....
Ace was too drunk at that time.. Always claimed he was gonna die, if he did not get out of the band.
Pay your taxes Space Ace !
Nobody is going to take the Elder in makeup
Eddie trunk STFU. No one cares about you fat ass
Eddie's claim to fame: "THOSE ARE MY FEET ON THE DUST COVER OF THE ACE FREHLEY ALBUM" - I bet he's been eating out on that story for 40 years.
When you pickle your brain...
☹️
Better that than disrespectful 🤷🏻♂️
When you pickle your brain you spend day making stupid RUclips comments
Nobody in that band has the intellect to write a concept album, they simply don't understand the medium.
Well they did it didn't they? How hard is it anyway? Apparently not too hard.

Wow...who posts such old Eddie stuff👎
Then why are you here!🙄
Eddie must be getting a gratuity for obsessively promoting KISS. Sadly he’s ignoring thousands of more worthy bands. KISS has always been a circus act.
Too many crappy bands with nothing to offer... At least ACE has history!😎✌
You're an idiot. You don't sell 100M albums unless you are great. Only the greats sell that much. GFY
I am trouble walking uh huh, every mother's nightmare
Eddie will ALWAYS be ace's biggest fluffer
