    "Tom Snydedr was at that point the preeminent interviewer. so we were honored to be on the show. Of course, as soon as we get on the show, it was clear that Ace, God bless him, was blitzed out of his mind." --Gene Simmons
    "The first thing that hits me when I'm watching #thetomorrowshowwithtomsnyder is that we were clearly losing our edge. The costumes were ridiculous...We were becoming Vegas showgirls or something of a Disney movie, as opposed to the hard rockers that we started as." --Paul Stanley
    Kiss (often stylized as KIϟϟ) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. Well known for its members' face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-late 1970s with its shocking live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics. The band has gone through several lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons being the only members to feature in every lineup. The original and best-known lineup consists of Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Simmons (vocals and bass), Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Criss (drums and vocals).
    With their make-up and costumes, the band members took on the personae of comic book-style characters: the Starchild (Stanley), the Demon (Simmons), the Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and the Catman (Criss). Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley had departed the group by 1982. In 1983, Kiss began performing without makeup and costumes, thus marking the beginning of the band's "unmasked" era that would last for over a decade. The band experienced a commercial resurgence during this era, with the Platinum-certified album Lick It Up successfully introducing them to a new generation of fans, and its music videos receiving regular airplay on MTV.
    Kiss is regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of all time, as well as one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including 21 million RIAA-certified albums. Kiss also holds the title as America's No. 1 Gold record award-winning group of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Kiss has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum. On April 10, 2014, the four original members of Kiss were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kiss was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire magazine. (wikipedia)
    Tom Snyder (1936 - 2007) was an American pioneering television personality and figure in broadcast journalism who brought a no non-sense attitude to broadcast television news. He was best known for his late nigh talk shows Tomorrow (NBC) and The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder (CBS). His engaging style combined with his irascible attitude, made him one of the best known journalists of his time, back when having a nationally televised and thought provoking late night talk show actually meant something. It was a totally different time in television, as the news was delivered as information with no spin or opinion of the newsman. He marked the end of an era.

I grew up in the Borough of Queens, NYC in the neighborhoods of Woodside 1957 til 1961, Flushing 1961 til 1964, Richmond Hill 1964 til 1985. And neither me nor my late parents were born in NYC. Where were we born? In Havana,Cuba! And we emigrated to America legally on August 2, 1956 when I was a 2 month old baby.

      I don't see that Paul is "negative". On the contrary, he symphasizes with Ace and is amused.. But he still is the frontman, the serious spokesman. Diplomacy is difficult, but he did a good job.
      Ace can not be "active",
      he is the "laziest" guy Paul ever met. Ace confirmed recently in "Facts Or Fiction" what Paul wrote.
      And Ace's addiction can never be "positive"

      It's rather tragic to watch Ace digging his own grave.
      Don't you see? He is destructive to the bandmates and to the band. By making them ridiculous.No loyalty at all! But he doesn't realise that he himself looks and behaves comical. He thinks, he is the superstar who is in the position to make fools out of Paul and Gene. They tolerated him too long. My boss would have fired him immediately.

    • @KnockOffToyz
      @KnockOffToyz 4 месяца назад +2

      To a lot of KISS fans, Ace IS a superstar; thee superstar of the band. And every member has done destructive stuff... just not with drugs and alcohol. Gene whom I love speaks FAR TOO MUCH about politics and has a horrible reputation because of it and that has seriously impacted the band. But the reality is... it's rock'n roll and it is what it is. What band doesn't' do drugs and alcohol? Compared to Motley Crue, Aerosmith and the Stones... KISS are choirboys. LOL@@HappyMachorino-bd8no

      Keith Richards with or without drugs never made his own band ridiculous publicly. And whatever Gene/Paul did wrong, (they lost fans) but they were always loyal to their band. Of course, Ace was the superstar.
      But no LOYALTY, no job. They gave him a second chance
      No loyalty again? That's why the Tom Snyder interview for me is more tragic than comic. It shows a superstar and his selfdestructive tendencies.

      Of course Gene is bothered. Why wouldn’t he be when Ace is making as ass of himself and the group. Yes the original members are icons but it is apparent Ace is a bit uncontrollable and eventually became a weak link.

If it wasn’t for Ace and Peter the interview would be sulking Gene never smiling, pushed all the way back in his chair like some lizard king on his throne doing his best James Dean attitude. What an incredible downer he was. Paul was ok, animated, seemed into it. And Tom was loving this, joining in the fun. Do we want the Gene Simmons KISS interview or this? Ace wasn’t exactly slurring his words or falling asleep, he was a functional drunk and having a good time. Gene in years since has over exaggerated the quality of this clip, I loved it.

I mean obviously he’s lit up, but as you said it’s not like he’s incoherent and drooling all over himself. He’s just having a good time, and so was Tom for that matter. Apparently all these Gene fanboys equate having a bit of fun and letting off steam with full blown drug addiction and alcoholism. I’m not saying Ace was never an addict. He very famously was, but in this instance it’s much more innocuous than some people are making it out to be.

Gene looked like someone who took life way too seriously, yet he was wearing a silly monster costume, spitting up tomato juice, and wiggling his tongue wanting people to think he was a real monster! Perhaps, he thought he was Lon Chaney, but the only person he was scaring were a few of the high strung 6- 8 year olds that were there with their mommies. However, Ace and Paul tried to be good musicians and I think they succeeded although I would never put them in the same category as Pink Floyd, Rush, Led Zep, or David Bowie. In regards to this interview, I felt sorry for Paul. It seem like he wanted to join in with the fun that Peter and Ace were having, but he'd look over at Gene and see the steam coming out of his ears and he didn't know what to do. I guess he felt he had to keep a straight face and stay neutral so he didn't piss anybody off.

When Paul says, people are crying: Ace interrupts and says, when they see what they have paid for! And he means Paul and Gene. He means his own band! My boss would write me a formal warning and then fire me immediately when I make him or our company ridiculous in the presence of customers. Paul symphasizes with Ace (he liked him), but
      then it became unbearable.
