    I think I'm one of the only other openly honest Kiss Fans on this board.

    Been to 3 shows.

    It's mind-numbing rock...you go on auto-pilot for a couple of hours.

    Rock Bottom is flippin' great.

    well we have so many old ppl on here, you'd think there'd be more! I wasn't into kiss in high school (seventies!) like some ppl were....yes I'm old, I'm the same age as they are on That Seventies show.
    I like a couple of their songs.

    I dig Ace. His use of double stops and unison bends are classic. A shame he became so self destructive in his prime.

    I remember a story during the first makeup reunion (awesome show BTW...these guys are true entertainers). He waked into Manny's music, and hanging up on the wall was one of his original bursts that he had sold there in the late '70s/early '80s for like 300 bucks. They wanted to sell it back to him for something like $150k! He walked out in disgust...lol.

    He said that he sold a bunch of them (I don't remember the count, but think it was between 10 and 12) after he was kicked out of Kiss. I bet he's kicking himself now. In theory, he could have been sitting on a few million worth of LP's today, as original 50's and 60's instruments are going for at least $175k these days...and that's in really bad shape.

    Ace is good, but I always liked Bruce Kulick better.

    Rarely do you see a lot of love for Bruce Kulick. He seems like a really nice guy.

    Last time I heard, he was out touring with Grand Funk Railroad.

    Nov 17, 1994 - Boardwalk in Sacto, CA. He opened after like 5 local bands at prolly 1 am with Detroit Rock City and I've never been the same since....

    Best show I ever freaking saw.

    Seen KISS a few times but started with Vinnie Vincent on the 20th Anniversary tour I think? Just missed Ace....

    Just saw that he jammed RITFW with PJ 10-1-05?

    I need to listen to his 1978 solo album now. Seeing this thread pop up was a surprise blast from the past!

    This is true for:

    Sweet Pain (Destroyer)
    All American Man (Alive II studio side)
    Larger Than Life (Alive II studio side)
    Any Way You Want It (Alive II studio side)
    Rockin' in the USA (Alive II studio side)
    and most of The Elder

    Ace had a habit of not showing up sometimes. That's kinda rock and roll, though.

    If he played on Creatues of the Night, then yeah, Ace is God. I freaking love Creatures...I think I am the only one.

    That album is awesome. However, that is Vinnie Vincent on lead guitar, his first with the band.

    My memory is a tad fuzzy, but I believe I've seen Kiss 9 times (it might be 10, I need to check my stubs).
    Seen them with and without makeup, with Ace, with Bruce and with Tommy Thayer in Ace's makeup (a travesty, get him his own makeup), with Peter, with Eric Singer and one show with the late great Eric Carr.
    Even saw one show in a club (Avalon in Boston, May 1992 ), twas a great show.
    Always give you your money's worth.

    I have a blue Ace guitar pick I got on the farewell tour, one of if not the coolest looking picks I have ever caught at any show.

    I thought this thread was ironic since I just popped in "Dressed To Kill" randomly before logging on to the pit!

    Fave (early) Ace highlights: "Got To Choose," "Strange Ways" & "Love Her All I Can."

    ACE Iz God. I'm listening to his "Trouble Walkin'" opus, and it's awesome. You should be, too.

    Did you ever get the "Tribute to Ace Frehley" cd that came out about 10 years ago?

    Snake Sabo, Scott Ian, Dimebag and a few others are on there.

    I got it, but haven't listened to it in a while.

    You're referring to "Spacewalk." That is an entertaining CD. I'm not a huge fan of tribute albums, but that is a good one. I liked "Return of the Comet" better, as far as an Ace Frehley tribute.

    Ace is DEFINITELY a GOD!! :D

    Seriously, one of the BEST guitar players out there. My older brother and I grew up listening to KISS and we both dug Ace's guitar styles. did you guys ever see a show on PBS that was called 3-2-1 Contact? They did a segment on KISS and all I remember about that was Ace launching a rocket from his guitar. ANYONE who does that is COOL in my book! :cool:

    My brother and I were lucky enough to see KISS once, on their first of many 'farewell' tours. to see Ace and Peter on the stage with them was AMAZING!! So glad that I got to see them. :) I heard that Ace came out and played with a KISS tribute band at VH1 Rock Honors. Ace is TOTALLY da shit!! :D
