@@jeffjohnson5544 He had to, he's playing it acoustic. Ace had said he wanted to do this song for MTV Unplugged but when he tried to play this solo on an acoustic guitar, he found it impossible. Rather than play a solo that isn't faithful to his original, he went with "2000 Man" instead.
@@jeanluc1313 Isn't that about 90% of that reunion? "Couldn't do it because Paul and Gene said so." I think Ace had like 5 songs for Psycho Circus and only got Into the Void.
so I'm not looking to cause a fight but the question I have is, why does everyone get shitty at Tommy singing Shock Me but no one seems to care when Ace let's his drummer sing Love Gun ?
I think the reason why it's okay for Ace's drummer to sing Love Gun is because Ace's drummer isn't dressing up like a Kiss member, making believe he's that guy. Ace isn't pretending to be the classic Kiss line up. So no one cares if Ace's drummer sings a Kiss song. Tommy on the other hand dresses like Ace an does the act as Ace. Some fans are turned off by that, and I can understand that. He doesn't come off as being legit. I think it's silly to get upset. Somebody is playing Shock Me. The song is being played instead of ignored. I think that's a good thing no matter who is playing it or singing it.
Champ Apples and oranges. Gene sang "Cold Gin" from the beginning. I am okay with Ace singing it solo because he wrote it, but I do prefer Gene singing it if I am listening to KISS. I don't want to hear Paul sing "Cold Gin" because he never did. "Shock Me" is Ace's signature tune. He plays with feel and heart. Tommy is a professional, but a copy cat. I have been a fan of the original 4 since 1975. Period. I saw them in their hey day and saw them on the reunion, Psycho Circus. and Farewell tours. I tried to accept them in the '80s and saw them live with Vinnie Vincent once and Bruce Kulick once. I was disappointed both times. I like the chemistry of the original 4. I honestly wish they had retired after the Farewell Tour. They don't need the money and are half a cover band now in the state they exist in now. To me and many original fans it's disappointing. I'm happy for you if you still enjoy them with Tommy and Eric. It's not my thing. We are both entitled to our points of view.
@@tommyboyindy1157 you just like to hate Tommy. Which is dum. At least Tommy isn’t drunk on stage barely being able to sing and play. Ace even admits Tommy had to teach him his own solos. Tommy LITERALLY TAUGHT ACE for the first farewell tour. If that doesent say it all I don’t know what does.
Though Ace is legendary, I also like Tommy. Not as the spaceman but just as himself and his skill.
And people say they don’t sound good🤦🏻 They sound great! And Eric is killer even on a small drum set
Eric kicks ass
If they make Kiss Unplugged 2,They need to put this on here.
No. Maybe if Ace is there
@@chetmartin8930 Ace is loosing his time in this life drinking alcohol..
@@dos2ratosmas isn't he sober?
This is my first hearing Shock Me on acoustic. This is awesome!
Thank you i love kiss they really great
Why doesn't Tommy sing one of his hits?
Well he could sing lightning strikes but Paul prob doesent want him to
ha ha. You were being facetious. I see what you did there.
Because Kiss didn't really have hits
Thank you you are really getting it it sounds great kick it
The drummer great
The more I listen to the drums. You are so right.😂👍
has an impossible job replacing a legend, hes doing ok
He's a hack.
Great Kiss Great Tommy Thayer !!!!!!!!!!
KISS Died in 1978. This is nothing but a bad cover band.
@@Mozart1220 the Beatles died in the 50s. Once Pete best it was over for me.
You rocking i love it its great
This is a Pandemic Gift! Tommy is a Very Gifted and Talented Person in Music & Life★
I agree with you on that one
Tommy did not copy Aces solo on Shock me. That is a trade mark. Respect Mr. Thayer.
Ok, it's not Ace...but I give credit where credit is due - it sounds good.
This band is great
If you like fakes and wannabe's yeah...
It's amazing that Tommy copy note by note and sounds different because he dosen't have Ace's attitude
100% agreed. Ace wrote that solo and song and no one can play it like him.
That solo is not note for note. He improvised a bit.

I thought Ace wrote this song?
Ace said he wanted to do shock me on unplugged said it couldn't be done on acustic it is in this video
What Ace didn't mention was the reason it "couldn't be done" - Gene and Paul said so.

John William Well said.
It's not Ace's rhythm guitarist in "Starman" makeup singing it.
This is Paul letting the Ace lookalike sing Ace's song in Ace's makeup.
Bullshit.
Might as well have Eric singing Little Cesar.
Many reasons why its ok. The biggest reason is because Ace's drummer sings it better than Paul has in decades.
We let Tommy sing Shock Me.....but Paul has to sing Hard Luck Woman instead of Eric.
This great song
Justo take a look at the crew faces...
sounds great tommy
Kiss kicks ass
He is good he is pretty darn good
This good song to.mmy
You are great
Your grummer fantastic to
Your drummer is fantastic to
This was pathetic, Tommy needs to play a song he wrote.Ace can never be replaced!! "Shock me" should only be played by the master Ace Frehley!!
Brutal, but I do feel ya.😅
paul stanley vs dee sni der
Can someone tell what kind of Gibson is tommy Thayer playing???
ace sounds good here.
By Tommy Thayer? 😂😂😂
Please anyone tell me What guitar Tommy used.
Chet Atkins signature Gibson
@@charlescoleman367 Thanks!
Has Tommy contributed anything to the band since he joined it,besides copy Ace?
martinone9 No not really
Tommy is the reason Kiss did Reunion tour and he keeps the band alive still he’s amazing!
martinone9 yes he has watch the first episode of KISSteria part one listen to what paul says about both eric and tommy
he also helped ace how on to play his own music... at one time tommy was their tour MGR
Listen to Sonic Boom
And By the way fuck Kiss Kiss is dead after orginal memebers left the band
Tommy proved Ace’s point about playing that solo on acoustic. That was not a very good solo with quite a few f ups
This video made my eyes and ears bleed.
+IloooooooveBeatles
Why? Because Tommy is
better than Ace? ;)
"HUrrr durrr because Tommy is better than Ace Huuur!!
He could be the best player in the world, but all he does is copy.
+Kuba Bednarek Tommy is a copy of Ace. Always has been.
tommy is a all lick ass !!
IloooooooveBeatles tommy=ace
Are they serious??? Frehley owns this. Gimme a break.
Man are you serious this is Kiss song ... are you bothered by Gene singing Aces Cold gin? No? so why you dont like this?
Champ Apples and oranges. Gene sang "Cold Gin" from the beginning. I am okay with Ace singing it solo because he wrote it, but I do prefer Gene singing it if I am listening to KISS.

Why is Gene so loud?
Acck
Wow even Tommy was struggling a bit with that lead part. Shows you something about Ace's prowess
Hmm, Tommy can nail that solo. Try Play that solo on a acoustic guitar, thats complicated...
Yeah Tommy keep copying, whats next? Eric singing Beth? oh wait
Eric sings beth and he almost begged to sing that song of peter ...
ahah, nice joke)
Love it or hate it. Eric does kill it with Beth.
Как появился клоун Тайер, я перестал слушать и смотреть KISS.
да он норм играет, хоть и самозванец
Who are they? A KISS cover band?
dude eric and tommy are better than original members
yes, I think so
No way.
Ana Lucia Smoke more crack
Ana Lucia No, just.........No
Ana Lucia Ace is the original and was the best lead guitarist for KISS.
Of course they will play an Ace song cuz Tommy’s never written an original guitar lick in his life.
May I ask who wrote and played the guitar on psycho circus?? Have you listened to sonic boom?
@@The_Original_Alex_Channel : without a doubt the worst Kiss album ever. Paint by the numbers amateur hour crap. Not an original lick on the album.
@@tommyboyindy1157 you just like to hate Tommy. Which is dum. At least Tommy isn’t drunk on stage barely being able to sing and play. Ace even admits Tommy had to teach him his own solos. Tommy LITERALLY TAUGHT ACE for the first farewell tour. If that doesent say it all I don’t know what does.
Ace wanna b....................I'm sorry.
It's kind of humiliating that they make him sing this. It's really not necessary to do this song!!!
there really isn't a point, just sour grapes wishing Ace was still there.
pure blasphemy....this is Ace's song and Kiss is now a cover band
Ace wasn’t an original member so your wrong
Bryan White What are you talking about?? Ace was an original member.
Tommy sucks
Maybe we can get the local mailman or maybe a Burger King cashier to sing this next time?
Next thing you know Eric Singer’s gonna do God of Thunder
Paul’s out of tune
What a joke. An impostor doing Ace's songs so gene and paul can make money.
COME ON MAN WRITE AND SING YOUR OWN MATERIAL AND SEE IF IT HOLDS UP .....MOCK ME CAUSE THE REAL KISS AINT TOGETHER..MOCK ME .....
BOT! SHOO, GO AWAY FLY★★★
What’s next, Rock Soldiers? SMH
No, just no.
This sucks!!
just coming to dislike
🗑️ GARBAGE 🗑️
Only Paul was on the original version and just on backing vocals.
sounds great tommy
I know I'm a really big fan
