Hey Ace. if you really want to confuse everybody, breakout the old makeup & costume, have The Roots back you up with a chorus of “fill my eyes, with that DOUBLE VISION!” See you on the 19th, BLAST OFF! 🙂
DVR set up 🙂
I’m glad to see he finally found work.
Kiss pinball machine says:
Working with Gene & Paul would drive anybody to drink! 😉
1. Invented the Kiss “LOGO” design.
2. Invented the space man makeup & costume design.
3. Invented the best solo album out of the original 4.
4. Came back and invented “Into The Void”, best song on the Psycho Circus album.
5. Influenced hundreds of guitar players.
Does Wicked Lester’s memory remember any of that? The good stuff? 🙂
Doug R,
I know your joking about that first comment. Ace and Peter did not start drinking because of Paul and Gene.
1. Ace designed the logo–Paul refined it. Now we have the KISS logo we all know and love.
2. Designed the makeup, yes, but each guy in KISS had costumes designed for them.
3. Matter of opinion, but it did sell the most. My favorite is Paul’s with Gene second, Ace third.
4. Into the Void received help from Paul Stanley, by Ace’s own admission.
5. Absolutely–not just hundreds, but thousands!
Mike B……your delusional if you think Paul and Gene’s solo albums are better than Ace’s…..both of them put together dont even come close…..yes i realize its personal taste but lets be serious Aces is one hell of a Rock Album…the others you can have them
Who can judge? I like Ace’s 78 album alot, but listen to Paul and Gene’s more often. Maybe you’re delusional?
Arrangement not in writing according to Paul.
Mike B, there never would have been a Kiss logo for Paul to refine if Ace never invented it in the first place!
But we do agree on FACT #5, (including Tommy Thayer) 😉
It may thousands if think of all the people who picked up the guitar but never got any further
Some of those claims are your opinions and you are entitled. Don’t get me wrong, Ace was great back in the day, but I’m not a fan now. I listened to samples of Space Invader…. ouch…. Singing is horrific.
Sometimes people hear what they WANT to hear–if you are looking for a weakness, you will find it–and miss all the good points. Rock music is not supposed to be perfect–its not classical.
I wasn’t looking for weakness. It stood out. Wasn’t looking for weakness in Peter’s solo album One for All either, but OUCH!!!!
Mike B- “Sometimes people hear what they WANT to hear”……and I rest my case to the Gene a Simmons thread. Thank you Mike B……I guess the 3 emails I received only confirmed what I said……..Joe in The Cuse
(Again? Man–this joe in the Cuse guy can’t let it go–how sad).
Joe, you missed the point, as expected.
Wicked Lester’s memory, have you heard Paul sing lately? Not to many of our heroes from back in the good ‘ol days sound the same anymore. Most of my “opinions” are facts, or shared by the “majority”.
What pisses me off the most, is that Gene & Paul want to pretend that Ace & Peter never existed, especially Paul. Yes, Ace & Peter F’D up a lot, but in some different ways, so did Gene & Paul. Like I’ve said before, nobody’s perfect, Ace & Peter are living proof of that fact, and so are Gene & Paul, because as crazy as it might sound, without Ace & Peter, Kiss wouldn’t be alive today, think about it.
And before the response, “Kiss wouldn’t be alive WITH Ace & Peter today”, we’ll never know, will we?
I won’t address your post because anyone that claims that most of their opinions are facts, and are shared by the “majority” comes across as delusional.
Wicked Lester’s “memory”, anyone who can’t comprehend what I meant, is delusional.
Ace Frehley’s smokin’ guitar from 1977 says:
Don’t you know, I’m a 2,014 man,
alive & kicking, doing the best I can,
don’t you know, I’m a 2,014 man,
“sold” my face, but not my soul,
and now it’s my turn, to rock & roll! 🙂
BTW Wicked Lester’s “memory”, delusional is somebody who changes their name every week, like for example:
“Kiss pinball machine”
“Flaming yute”
“Paul Stanley’s voice from 1977”
“Kiss Alive 1 -5”
“Merv Griffin”, just to name a few, now THAT’S delusional!
So who are you going to be next week?
“Gene Simmons’ hair from 1977”? 😉
Mike B….let what go?? Joe in The Cuse
me and douchey McGhee counterpoints:
1. paul refined the kiss “logo”. refining is more important than inventing.
2. he has to earn the right to wear the space man makeup and costume design he invented.
3. no one knows what his name is. the upper right corner of his solo album reads: “space man”
4. came back only to quit again. besides, the current set list is chock full of classics from monster and sonic boom.
5. dated mayim bialik, but he “never did blossom”
shame on you doug r. baaa
“..classics from monster and sonic boom”??? Ha, what classics?
It is called irony, have you ever heard of that???
Classics from Sonic Boom and Monster? Really? They played War Machine, Psycho Circus, Hide your Heart and Lick it Up in Jersey the other night. Everything else (12 songs) was pre Love Gun.
They are touring to support Kiss 40. That’s why there is nothing from the last two albums. Previous tours they did play songs from those albums. Facts!
He was being sarcastic.
Elliot, have you been abducted by E.T. again? Nobody puts Elliot on a spaceship, except maybe Ace! LOL! 🙂
doug r., you don’t have to protect eddie. it’s his website! lol.
Elliot, as I have already explained it to Mike B, just because you happen to agree with the Trunkster’s opinions, (most of them) does not mean you’re protecting him. Besides, Eddie’s 50 years old now, he can defend himself! LOL!
Now although there is some resemblance between Eddie Trunk & E.T., I think it’s just a coincidence that they have the same initials. BUT, if Eddie starts saying “phone home”, “phone home”, I’m runnin’! LOL! 🙂
Have fun in space dude, if you run into Ace, let me know! Cheers! 😉
One time only…….I guess $25 per signature at the Chiller Convention looms. So much for in-stores with Ace. Paul was everywhere.
Cool. Will be tuning into Jimmy Fallon to catch some Space Ace Frehley. At least, Ace has a little Integrity left unlike Paul & Gene.
Oh please…just let it go.
Hey according to Mike B all of us better let everything go & let Mike B be right….I see a trend going on with his posts…lmao. Joe in The Cuse
Integrity? Explain please. How so?
yeah, I’d love to hear how that’s true…are you there?!
