Big ace fan. Since the 70s, when I was a kid, still think he's best guitar player on earth because he has heart and feeling. I will say guys look very good and healthy for their age, and it makes me strive to go on knowing these guys are still touring still bustin ass hats off to all of you.
I have to say personally Rick Nelson is truly a nice man. I did some tile and marble work when he built his new home in Rockford Illinois he would come up and talk to us and joke around with us construction workers and it was funny to watch him walk around with a early version of a cell phone that had this big ass battery to it lol Rick even took me down to his guitar vault and explained where he got each one it was really fun 👍🏻
Great group to put together for an interview -- Simmons is the smart one, Frehley is the goofy one, Felder is the nice one, and Nielsen is the wise-ass.
Although Gene has very good recollection but didn't remember that the concert was during their return from Europe after the Destroyer Album and tour they quickly recorded Rock and Roll Over than went out and continued touring: on Dec. 12, 1976, at the Civic Center in Lakeland, Fla., when an unforeseen technical glitch caused him to nearly be electrocuted onstage. The near-fatal production snafu occurred early in the night, right after they played "Detroit Rock City." Kiss performed that song on top of their set before descending to the stage for the next song. As Frehley came down, he grabbed onto a metal rail to steady himself, completing an electrical circuit with his guitar. He was seized by the current and unable to move, but finally broke free and fell several feet to the stage below. "If I hadn't been able to let go, I would have died," Frehley later told the Lakeland Ledger. "My life passed in front of my eyes."
I think Paul is the main reason that no x Kiss members were at the last two concerts. Paul runs and makes all of the decisions for Kiss. I think Gene does care about Ace to some degree. I just think the final two shows were a total let down. I don't think the Avatar crap is going to work out either. I think it's terrible how Paul looks at the rest of the Kiss members. I include Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr in that also. Paul has too fragile of an ego.
New York City has been missing a rock and brews in the heart of Times Square or union square for a long time.Ace made a joke about cows in Bombay in the Tom Snyder show on Halloween 1979.I would love to meet Candice she sounds better than a ferret in heat.Does gene have any intentions of resurrecting Simmons records with the line going through the S.kiss did a Dave Clark 5 song called Any way you want it which was the last song on side4 of Alive 2.ace supposedly layed down on his back in the studio with the lights out when doing his vocal track for SHOCK ME.
He's always self depreciating. But in fact he's a quality bass player. Watch him play live. He rarely even has to look at the fretboard like most players do. He also wrote interesting bass lines all over the KISS catalog. Bob Ezrin (producer of Destroyer) admitted that Gene surprised him with how good he was.
Gene, I'll give $1000.00 to your cause. My court appointed lawyer, Molly Smith, has all my money so you will have to contact her, she hides behind farm animals and I don't have her number, just her hoof print.
This is awesome. 4 music legends having a good time for a great cause
Who are they ? I see 2 kiss guys , who the hell are the other 2

Thanks for your efforts Gene. 👍 I went through the hurricane and still haven’t recovered.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the antithesis of everything that is rock & roll.
These guys are Fantastic!!!!! So Cool!!!

Ace sipping on his coffee is classic.
Great interviews
LEGENDS!!!!!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Legends!
I went to see the Eagles after the Don Felder firing. It just wasn’t the same! Would have loved to see Ace and Don together.
All rock stars, tv and movie stars wear sunglasses in and outdoors. It's just COOL
Been over nine years since I've been around any professionals .
Definitely reaffirms my ideals of the business professionally and
Emotionally.
Cool to to see them laughing, joking, bragging.
there back on good terns just in case they run to each other since gene and ace now live in ca. but it does not mean ace is going to rejoin kiss.
This was funny as hell

32:02 Hell yeah, respect.

48:56 Ace: "I'm going to turn this into a bowtie..."
50:04 Ace presenting his bowtie. You gotta love the guy haha!
22:23
4 legends
Who are they ? I know the kiss guys but???
lol ? Whe are they ? Like the other 2
Rick played on Gene's solo album and they misspelled his name..saw it on American pickers
22:03 😂
Did anyone notice that "ass" is between Gene and Ace!? Lol
First I thought you meant Don or Rick because I started reading comments before watching the video.
Adam Razo hmmm, sometimes lass but yeah. What are you 10?
Yep. Funny.
Not until you mentioned it. Did anyone notice all the Paul Stanley KISS songs?
Yup. Lol
31:29
I'd loved to see a reality show with these guys complaining about millennials.
Finally, for the first time in nearly 70 years, something each of those pathological story-telling fibbers could tell the God's honest truth about.
Who was the chick with the voice?

I love it how Gene gives Millennials such a hard time, they really are clueless about Rock music history lol
Not all of us are clueless idiots. Some of us could school you old guys.
The third from the left and the second from the right is ACE.
Ace.
8 track?
nice try
:D
Who the fudge are these guys???

indoor sunglasses are a thing again apparently
Gotta be weird sitting there listening to your own songs lol
Now they have to do another charity event for homeless children in the California wildfire zone.
I can't I have no more money.
Gene Get Ace do the Final Kiss Farewell With Ace
Why do people wear sunglasses indoors?!!!!!!!!!!!
Cause they can.
Some have issues with the lighting after 40+ years of the flash pots going off in their faces
I think gene and ace should start a new supergroup, letme think and get back to you later about other memberz.
I thought it was supposed to be for musicians why is Gene Simmons up there he'll be the first one to tell you he is not a musician he's an Entertainer
He's always self depreciating. But in fact he's a quality bass player. Watch him play live. He rarely even has to look at the fretboard like most players do. He also wrote interesting bass lines all over the KISS catalog. Bob Ezrin (producer of Destroyer) admitted that Gene surprised him with how good he was.
then there's entertainment and entertainment
Are you serious??? Idiot.
Gene loves to here himself talk.he can't handle the other people taking the spotlight off him
The host seems like a nice guy but he's making it about himself a bit too much with four legends up there.
Gene can be funny, and he is, but before Ace. Not after.
Ace, Gene and the caller are wrong. Ace was wearing his Destroyer costume when he was electrocuted.
Poor girl
Gene, I'll give $1000.00 to your cause. My court appointed lawyer, Molly Smith, has all my money so you will have to contact her, she hides behind farm animals and I don't have her number, just her hoof print.
geriatrics
No Steve Dahl is not great. his show right now on WLS sucks. Hes so over rated
Turned off at 'make America great again".
Good comment on the annoying voice gene lol
I can't believe Gene let another legend in the same room as him and his hair
