I waited hours to hear Ace get on the phone & I’m disappointed in Gene & Paul, there’s so many things wrong with what they’re doing, they’re just jackasses!

What did Ace Frehley do that was so bad that G&P won’t perform with Peter and Ace? This is just proof that Ace and Peter were never 1/2 of KISS. It has always been Gene and Paul. KISS are done, the current line up is over, they are not selling records and there audience is shrinking. People in this “retro” day and age want what was. I do understand that it is impossible to relive that, Peter can’t do a full show due to physical limitations and Ace is not wanted. MONSTER had some great songs on it and kicked ass over Aeroballad’s new record but it only sold 135K. You know the drug stories about Ace are just getting to old to hear about and it’s all G&P rely on. I can see why John Fogerty did what he did because the other members sided against him and have been living off of his music forever. I think it’s painfully obvious that the fans really want the four original members. I understand G&P’s position about how A&P screwed up butt those two had their issues too. It’s just sad to see, why doesn’t G&P just stop pressing copies of albums with the four original members, why?, because they would have nothing. I am tired to death of KISS because of this. When all is said and done people will only care about the 1973-1979 period of KISS. My hats off to Eric Carr, Bruce Kulick, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, most of all Sean Delaney and Bill Aucion because without them KISS would never have made it.

And Paul Stanley wins once again … his press comments last night about having “no intentions to play” must have struck home with Jann Wenner and his lackeys. Paul without a guitar around his neck (screaming “People!!!!”) = no ticket sales in Brooklyn. Bogus … unlike VH and G ‘N’ R, this is going to be a debacle like Blondie, which almost devolved into a fistfight on stage.
