Leave Ace alone he deserves this, he's doing it right. This is his second chance like everybody deserves to have. So chill out with that negative shit. Real talk.
¿Second chance? Ace had his second chance in KISS already in 1996. It didn't work. Now when he releases a new album you can't expect the audience to "leave him alone". If he wants to be left alone, he could've retired. And it's him who likes to attack KISS (Paul) to get controversy and attention.
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no him attack Paul?? Are you high right now or are just in love with Paul. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's been Paul bashing Ace and Peter. I knowthey screwed up. How many FN times is Paul going to talk and cry about the past. He's such a female it's ridiculous . That's why NOBODY wants to be around him. He must have forgotten when the kids used to pick on him and his crumpled ear. So check yourself kid!!! Can't believe you even said that dumb shit. Happy moron.
Aaah. Retard. It's Gene & Paul who always always always always always always unfairly disrespected ACE! So KISS is PISSTORY and ACE triumphs not only the biggest reason PISS was successful for the musical performance! But also pulling it off after the retirement of KISS! As well as making better music again Sorry to burst your bubble.
Ace kept quiet till they shut the best reason to have seen the final shows..... OUT and said even worse things about him instead of honoring his contribution!
It's perfectly all right to announce to the world that you're a great guitar player if you can back it up. Ace doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He's a great guutar player and inspired an entire crop of young guitarists in the 70's and 80's. If you're good - you're good. End of the story.
Ace is the reason I wanted to play guitar. Before I even could do that, my best friend and I would pick up tennis rackets to pretend we were KISS. We also did makeup as well.
The 70s was a great time people always bring up Disco but forget all the great Rock from that decade like KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc.
Frehley reminisces about his glory days as a member of KISS to this day still in 2024. That is his genuine legendary legacy now, and some believe it is better left at that. Real hardcore lifelong KISS fans have moved-on from the debacle of 23/12/02. If Ace is making bank now good for him.
Arguably the most brilliant, most creative, and in guitar terms - a bloke who influenced some of the current/former guitar greats ['Dimebag' went to his grave with Space Ace inked over his heart] - this bloke is the US's greatest ever plumber !!
He reminds me of talking to my grandma when she was reminiscing. You ask her something and bc she answers a different question. Then right after seems perfectly clear.
Good question. I've never heard it asked before. All they ever mention is his mismatched Converse, not what guitar he played at the audition. Turns out it was a very rare one, too. Nice job.
Alot people are whining about Ace's ego but they fail to mention all their heroes that are 10 times worse than Ace. Don Henley, Bono, Gene, Paul, Sting, Bruce, Madonna, Prince, Page, Plant Jagger, Stewart ... Do I need to continue? ha
When my future brother-in-law Mikey was little, I introduced him to Kiss. He, like me, became a fan for life. I’m an original line up fan, he is a beginning to the end mega fan! He recently worked with a local band that was opening for Ace and during sound check Mikey was so excited just to say hi if he had the chance. He saw ace coming towards him and was playing it cool and when Ace walked right by him he said “Hi Ace!” Looking right at him Ace yelled somebody’s name who was supposed to be with him and just kept walking. I understand he’s busy and all that, but if a fan says hi, you should at least acknowledge them. It’s the fans who are the ones that gave you your cushy lifestyle, so at least you could show some love back instead of being a dick. I noticed he wears sunglasses all the time and slurs his words a little bit. Maybe he takes too much Xanax? #nevermeetyourheros
Why didn't he make it with his bands before? Or post-KISS? I don't think anyone else would have been as tolerant as Paul and Gene regarding Ace's laziness and addiction etc. (Ace admitted what Paul wrote. That he was the laziest guy ever).
Good job, brother! Ace is cool-I love him. But he never wouldn have made it without Gene and Paul’s work ethic-assholes though they may be. The fact is, both Ace and Peter were unfocused and drifting, with no business sense or plan. Don’t get me wrong, they contributed tremendously to Kiss’ success.

Great interview. I wonder if the Firebird Ace used during his audition is the same one Paul ended up using live. He played one just like it at the Winterland show.
Maybe. Maybe not. Gibson was giving them guitars left and right back then. They were hoping one of the guys would become an endorsement. Gibson just didn't like the fact that they were the brand Paul broke on stage every night.
@@finishin.my.coffee8780 The Winterland show was at the end of the HTH tour... before Rock n Roll All Nite and the Alive album. Gibson didn't start sending them guitars "left and right" until then.
@@JeffKopis The one on the cover of Alive was ebony not sunburst. Some say it was the same guitar refinished but they were also fully endorsed by Gibson by then, so who knows. It may be.
“I had the personality, the looks and I could play.” IMO Ace’s lead guitar playing style set him apart from most although I do believe teaming up with Gene and Paul pushed him to be the best guitarist he could be and that’s why he influenced so many guitarist.
Ace likes to tell this story: Paul told him, the same day when he auditioned he knew that Ace was the right guy. But Paul didn't tell him: Ace, you're now the superstar and bigger than KISS! It was Ace's own big illusion. But not a big career.
I'm 57... Been a KISS fan since 1975... I'm also a musician (guitarist) I was bummed when Ace left... But, it was at the time when the band was uncertain, people were losing interest... (The fact that Van Halen just came out) didn't help them much... People were losing interest... I like Ace... but, he is a bit arrogant... And I seriously doubt he would have "made it" , if he wasn't in KISS... He hasn't really done much after KISS... a couple of solo albums, few side projects... With music changing... Now VH... And then RR with Ozzy was another blow to him I can imagine... I think he was in the right place,at the right time... He's basically lucky they chose him... Because I have a feeling that if they hadn't had picked him, he would be driving a cab
Hard rock's George Harrison sounds like a parrot imitating Uncle Fester when he talks. I can say that because no matter what his speaking voice sounds like, I wish I were Ace.
@DMDvideo10 NYC based , Yngie used to shred Kiss when he was 12 because they were the biggest band in Sweden. Ace is the greatest guitarist in the world !
I have a question about Ace recording as a solo act. I realize in most cases the instruments and vocals are handled separately in the process. To his credit, Ace sounds on his recordings as if he's sing and playing guitar simultaneously. Is that the case with Ace? (Case with Ace. HA! Wudda ya know I accidentally made a 'funny there!)
I personally think that Paul and Gene both, are VERY egotistical,arrogant and how DARE THEY say Ace and Peter wouldn't " cut it" on their last two shows!! Jerks and I think they're both JEALOUS of Ace and his talents!!!
"I would have been famous no matter what". What a crock of shit! Lightening doesn't strike everywhere. Ace, you were in the right place at the right time. Be grateful for God's sake.
@@balkee42 Yes His face has taking a beating over the years .1st the Street gang bashing in His teens then the car crash in the Hollywood hills when they were recording Hotter than Hell then another crash & another crash again..amazing He's still alive & able to walk & play.
I wish somebody would put him in check He would not have been anything if not for KISS. Also, it's a shame that by having his solo record to sell the most it went straight to his head and it ruined him Anyone that constantly laughs at his own jokes tells alot
I’m not a Kiss fan and know a couple of their hit songs, but Ace is a talented guitarist and definitely would have made it with another band some way or another 🙂
Bull bleep. He was a tailor made 70's rock star guitarist. He may not have been a mega rock star but he would have been in a band that had atleast one album go gold or platinum.
Ace was cool back in the day. These days he’s a shadow of what he was. It’s time to just retire like the others did. It’s just time. I saw him 2 years ago and it was the worst show ever. He was playing and singing slower than molasses in January.
@@frankbrown3218 I remember very well an interview with Paul Stanley saying that when Ace came for the reunion tour Tommy got with Ace to help him with relearning the songs. I'm by no means knocking Ace's talent he just needs to deflate the huge ego.
Ace inspired aLot of kids to pick up a guitar. But damn he needs to eat a little humble pie and tone down the ego lately. This new record has just made him a little off putting and arrogant.
If he didnt play guitar the way he did, they wouldve passed on him. You dont just "fall into" a band without a modicum of talent! He's WAY more talented than guys like Andy Summers (Police) or Edge (U2), who can't even play solos!
Sorry to say this, Ace is very talented and I love him and kiss. But, if it wasn’t for Gene and Paul, Ace and Peter would’ve been nowhere and nothing. They’re both too lazy and entitled
That's impossible. Nobody can determine what somebody's alternative life might have been. He may have gone back to finish school? Maybe he would have driven a bus or worked in a bank? It's all guess work
@@Mrhasbarafree Did you listen to Ace at all? Many times he said: he finished school. And listen to him again: at 16 he wanted to be a Rockstar! Not a busdriver or something. In KISS he e.g. didn't want to carry the gear. He confirmed Paul's version: Ace was the laziest guy he ever knew. Ace simply expects someone else to do the work, to organise the band etc...Paul and Gene definitely "carried" Ace. He admitted Gene helped him song-writing. Gene and Paul pushed him to sing. KISS made him great. I don't think someone else would have tolerated him as long as Paul and Gene.
Ace is a huge part of kiss, but he needs to understand something and face reality, if it wasn’t for meeting Gene and Paul Ace would’ve never been famous. He is far too lazy. Gene and Paul helped make him a millionaire not once but twice and Peter also needs to realize this as well. both of them pissed away their entire lives because they have no discipline and Gene and Paul save their asses again with the reunion tour.
Ace was always my favorite growing up in the 70's. Even as a kid I knew there was something off about Paul.
Paul were always pretty goofy back then.
Ace is the coolest 😎 member of kiss , and he s got a great sense of humor
Ace always looked cool when playing. He just seemed chilled and I think thats why so many fans gravitated towards him.
Ace you gotta love him. He is so down to earth, and he always cracks me up.
Ace was the true rockstar so glad he made it trough the 70s and 80s .
Ace has aways been my favorite guitarist,he the one that made me want to play guitar.love you Ace!!!

Did he drink alcohol? He claims he's been clean and sober since 2007!

He also had the swagger needed.

If he didnt play guitar the way he did, they wouldve passed on him. You dont just "fall into" a band without a modicum of talent! He's WAY more talented than guys like Andy Summers (Police) or Edge (U2), who can't even play solos!
Sorry to say this, Ace is very talented and I love him and kiss. But, if it wasn’t for Gene and Paul, Ace and Peter would’ve been nowhere and nothing. They’re both too lazy and entitled
You are buggin!!!
That's impossible. Nobody can determine what somebody's alternative life might have been. He may have gone back to finish school? Maybe he would have driven a bus or worked in a bank? It's all guess work
@@Mrhasbarafree thank you for saying that, cause some don't think before talking and that was a dumb assumption.
Without ace and peter in the beginning * Gene and paul wouldn't of made it < The sound the 4 of them made together was gold 😮😮😮
@@Mrhasbarafree
Did you listen to Ace at all? Many times he said: he finished school. And listen to him again: at 16 he wanted to be a Rockstar! Not a busdriver or something.
In KISS he e.g. didn't want to carry the gear. He confirmed Paul's version: Ace was the laziest guy
he ever knew. Ace simply expects someone else to do the work, to organise the band etc...Paul and Gene definitely "carried" Ace. He admitted Gene helped him song-writing. Gene and Paul pushed him to sing.
KISS made him great.
I don't think someone else would have tolerated him as long as Paul and Gene.
I didn't know he had a facelift. Why get a facelift and then cover it up with shades?
Is every member of the original four a scumbag? Serious question.
Yes, all four are total narcissists
😂
At least know how to pronounce his name correctly.
I'll make a note to practice saying it in front of the mirror a hundred times!
@@artistsonrecord LOL!
Is he serious about Martin Scorsese directing a film about him? W t f lol
Why not? KISS were huge and successful band, as Americana as muscle cars and Harley-Davidson.
@@marck8899 bruh scorsese aint gonna direct an ace frehley biopic lmao
He's almost as bad as Ozzy Osborne, I love them both.
Ace is a huge part of kiss, but he needs to understand something and face reality, if it wasn’t for meeting Gene and Paul Ace would’ve never been famous. He is far too lazy. Gene and Paul helped make him a millionaire not once but twice and Peter also needs to realize this as well. both of them pissed away their entire lives because they have no discipline and Gene and Paul save their asses again with the reunion tour.
Lol Yo Ace, WE ALL THOUGHT YOU WERE PART ASIAN!!!
