I love how professional and honest Ace is when he takes on the question about Peter leaving once Paul was a little stunted. The respect he gives to Eric Carr is also lovely to see since he apparently felt the band (Stanley & Simmons) didn't really see him as an equal. RIP Eric, I only discovered after my small Kiss phase that you were the best.
It's almost surreal watching old videos when the band members were young. They almost had a super hero feel to them and there was so much mystery surrounding them.
They were actually gonna release a heavier album. The working title was Rockin With The Boys. However, when Bob Ezrin was hired he shit canned that idea. While I love The Elder, it was the wrong album at the wrong time. Incidentally you can hear demos from the metal album they were going to release. One particularly cool track was called Loves a Deadly Weapon. Google it. Paul on lead vocals
@pauldunlea3669 I actually love The Elder. No KISS album has grown on me more. It features some of their heaviest and lightest moments. It's definitely in my Top 10 KISS albums.
Kiss the first band ever to say they were A Heavy Metal band even before they were signed. Shockingly Sabbath and Priest didn't accept the tag until the NWOBHM movement as before then it was seen as a derogatory term to describe the music (banging and crashing noise)
Ace saying they were going to come back Europe in 1981... wow. Would have been so great! Those days Ace sometimes seemed almost co-leader with Paul! So great!!!

@@whataboutrob442 WTF are you on about? He had some of the best songs on Dynasty and Unmasked. We have Escape from the Island and Dark Light on The Elder. The first Frehley's Comet album was great.
@MickC2167 By 1980 his songs were very average. Dynasty obviously doesn't have anything to do with my comment. My point was that Kiss could have never made that musical leap into Creatures and Lick It Up with Ace. I mean by Elder Paul was playing more solos than Ace. As far as Frehleys Comet, a lot of those songs were written by other people. My point about being out of ideas. I love early Kiss and I think Aces lead playing was incredible for the time but by Unmasked I just didn't care for it.
@@whataboutrob442 Maybe if they had listened to Ace and worked on a hard rock album instead of The Elder, there wouldn't have been such a commercial disaster which required them to go full reboot into harder heavy metal like Lick it Up, which is a such a completely different sounding Kiss that it may as well be a different band. As Ezrin said, "In hindsight, Ace was absolutely right in his feeling that all this concept and drama stuff was bullshit and that we should just get back to Rock 'n' Roll…..He did his best to do his part, but his heart was never really in the thing. It all felt too contrived to him -- and he was right about that then.". Paul will never admit this. He always say something like it's okay for Ace to say this in hindsight...blah, blah, blah. It wasn't hindsight though, he told them at the time it was a a garbage idea and that it would fail. When you watch interviews from around the Elder into Creatures, it's quite plain to see that Ace was miserable. He was always being outvoted 2:1 on any band decision. In some interviews he sounds incredibly depressed. I'm sure a happier, motivated Ace could have come up with 2-3 decent songs every couple of years. As for the point about Paul playing leads, it means nothing. Ace played Bass and Rythm on a lot of tracks too, as they had been pretty much recording separately since Alive II Alive II new songs.

"The new album is Heavy!" -Paul Stanley 1980
They released Music From: The Elder. November 10, 1981
The Oath was heavy ntm pretty heavy mood / subject matter but I get what your saying ha
They were actually gonna release a heavier album. The working title was Rockin With The Boys. However, when Bob Ezrin was hired he shit canned that idea.

3:10 - THAT laugh !!!!!!!!! - so contagious !!!
Ace was surprisingly professional here ,fielding the question of why Peter left the band.
So true. Ace seems co-leader with Paul in this interview, and that is so fantastic!!
Because for once he wasn't loaded
Cool. Ace was taking the lead sometimes.
Yes, as many of KISS fans wanted those years! (For me, for example, the coolest member those days was Ace, no doubt!).
Kiss the first band ever to say they were A Heavy Metal band even before they were signed. Shockingly Sabbath and Priest didn't accept the tag until the NWOBHM movement as before then it was seen as a derogatory term to describe the music (banging and crashing noise)
* Buenos días a mis Rockers (Kiss Detroit) Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Palynzer, KISS a todos 🌹 "
I liked the way Firehouse was sounding at the end there...
The way Firehouse sounds in tours of 1980 are best versions ever of Firehouse!!
Ace saying they were going to come back Europe in 1981... wow. Would have been so great! Those days Ace sometimes seemed almost co-leader with Paul! So great!!!

KISSING
Hard to believe these videos are over 40 years ago when they were in their late 20s or early 30s.
"🌹 questa è la mia band Kiss Detroit ti amo tutti BJ 😘"
Never seen that clip
ROCK ON !!!!
Eric Carr è il mio preferito ❤
Now we have '' Swift Mania '' She will not last longevity
showbiz baby
Paul laugh is so sexy ❤❤❤❤ he so cute❤❤❤❤ i like him the best❤❤❤❤😊
What else are you gonna do with all the leftovers from disco
Hahaha! Great comment!
1:20 what did Paul say here exactly? I'm not sure if I heard him correctly
you heard him right, he's said way worse regarding that topic
This was in Germany 1980 The Kiss Runes are Not the Original.
This was Holland, Leiden October 5th 1980. I went there age 13. Great experience!
The voice is Dutch man Kees Baars?

Only one of three.
They song more awkward
Paul not giving the best answers.
Paul full of shit again. Ace had to Agree with Paul and Gene. ''We are a heavy metal band ''
