    Although I am a huge Ace Frehley fan, I do agree with you 100%! I had a chance to meet Bruce last year in Cincinnati, Ohio at a Grand Funk Railroad concert and he is absolutely one of the most underrated guitarists ever!! Maybe it's because he doesn't show off and act like he is great like everyone else does, but he is an amazing guitarist.

    I met Bruce back in 2003 @ the 2nd annual kiss expo in Charlotte,NC. He was a very nice guy and took the time to talk with me and a female friend of mine,sign some memoirabilia, and take pictures with us.That meant alot to me as a fan for 30 + yrs.

      Bruce is a class act and my favorite Kiss guitar player after Ace. Met him a few times.
      I do think that Paul and Gene did not give him enough credit in his years in Kiss based on some of their interviews saying that he was more of a shredder type of player in the beginning until they recorded Revenge where he finally ditched the flashy 80's style shedding. I do not believe that since KISS was definitely trying to stay relevant and keep up with what was going on in music at the time. Its obvious that Bruce can adapt to any type of musical style and that includes his guitar solos.
      I also read that he never received a wedding gift from Paul and Gene when he remarried even thought they were there. Lol. Maybe he did finally months after.

      @PeterGaarthuis 8 років тому +3

      Lead guitar unsurprisingly was not played by Ace Frehley as he was not musically involved with the album and it was not played by Vinnie Vincent either; it was played by Steve Farris, who would go on to be the lead guitarist of the 1980s pop rock group Mr. Mister. Adam Mitchell also played in the final version of the song, replacing Stanley on rhythm guitar in the middle and end of the song.[2]

  • @bryanwilliams3665
    @bryanwilliams3665 2 роки тому +2

    Bruce was technically more proficient than Ace no doubt... Ace had a more identifiable style...
    Guitarists in the 80s had a tough time of it sounding unique and bringing anything 'new' to the table.
    Ace had quite a few " Frehley isms" in his playing including an instantly recognisable vibrato..
