maybe, it's impossible to tell, gene and paul are masters at saying whatever they think the fans want to hear and whatever works best in the moment. He's hardly going to say...."welcome to the stage, ace frehley! He's a pretty shit guitarist and singer, and he's a bit of an idiot, but here he is!"
That was absolutely classic. Ace Frehley hasn't lost any of his magic. It was good to see Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley on the same stage after all that years. 😊
When all you've done all your life is play in a rock and roll band, that's what you do. Period. And when you get old, you continue to do it. It's what you know. I'm glad they're able to.
Gene is such an underrated bass player, deserves so much more recognition, the clever riffs and runs, the song writing and structure. I think he knows his talent, it shows in the confidence of the playing
Because Gene knows Ace has do many fans fans & is admired by many that know how much talent he has, including fans that know he's one of the best bassist ever. Ace has been sober & Gene is about money.So much history between them. Of course he would include Ace now.❤️ Love you Ace Frehley ❤️❤️❤️
When I watch gene's face watching Ace play the solo on "Parasite", I honestly think that beyond all of the talk and nonsense, he actually loves Ace very much.
Gene's never spoken ill of Ace's talents as far as I know, only his lack of drive and personality problems. He'd always cared a lot about him, even when Ace was driving him crazy. One can care a great deal about someone and yet still realize it's best that they part ways. It doesn't mean they can't hang once in a while for fun, but they shouldn't be business partners again.
Paul is a self-absorbed asshole who can easily critique others but obviously can't come to terms with his not being able to sing anymore. I mean, literally is unable to sing. Paul the human being disappointed me.
There's a big difference between Ace & Peter Ace is a funny guy liability Peter is a ticking bomb and knows how to push buttons That's why Paul is not playing along He's seen it all before
Between Gene's compliments to Ace, playing three Ace songs and totally crushing them, this really gave me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for the upload, Kurt!
Don't know what the hell people are talking about, ACE still HAS IT. Stop being idiots and just admire, or don't, I don't give a shit. But to me ACE still rocks!!!
Genes voice is spot on. I especially like the liberties he takes with his playing when he’s not under the Kiss constraint. As always Ace is the man!!!!
MORE OF THE SPACE MAN ACE FREHLEY IT DOES THE HEART GOOD TO SEE ACE AND GENE TOGETHER, WHERE’s the rest of the boys? I have to say when the four guys get together THERES A MAGIC THAT HAPPENS.
Ace Frehley LEGEND!!! He designed the KISS logo, wrote so many great KISS songs, he should be recognized for the LEGEND he is, todays YUPPIE fans have NO CLUE!!!
Ace rules always has he always will love his guitar playing what a influence he has had on my playing don’t give a fuck what anybody says he’s the best
This is GREAT! Happy to hear and see Gene and Ace together. That classic KISS sound is there. And Ace is a mega good guitarist and songwriter, and gene is a great songwriter and basist as well. They do good together.
Nice to see them over come there differences for a good cause. And fuck all the negative comments from some that have no respect for them, and the ones that grew up listening to them!
Considering how close they've both said they were in the early days because they would always pair up in hotel rooms on the road and got to know one another so well, this doesn't surprise me. The business relationship might not be so great, but true friendship always survives the storms.
My husband is a truck driver He bought a older Peterbilt truck from Ace about seven years ago. Ace said he won it in a card game LMFAO is a cool I don't give two fucks type of guy! He treated us as if we had known him for years.
Who gives a shit if Ace is out of pitch and playing a bit sloppy? Come on, he will be seventy in a couple of years and he's having so much fun on that stage. Ace is Rock 'n Roll, no matter what!
Even BEFORE the last syllable of the first word ♠️Ace sang on Parasite rolled off his tongue, I had the BIGGEST shit-eating GRIN on my face‼️ There is no substitute! Ace’s nuances, his like-no-other delivery when he sings is so unique, it should almost be patented. Thanks for the upload! ❤️ U ♠️‼️
Not a Kiss fan but this is nice to watch. Some complain about Ace being out of time and shit like that. This was a benefit show and sometimes you have no time for rehearsals. You just go there and jam and have a great time and this seems to be the case.
What was really cool was when Gene and the band stepped back and gave Ace his time in the light. There is just a mutual respect among the band and they all dont try and steal the attention.
You can tell that gene still cares for ace. Undeniable chemistry
maybe, it's impossible to tell, gene and paul are masters at saying whatever they think the fans want to hear and whatever works best in the moment. He's hardly going to say...."welcome to the stage, ace frehley! He's a pretty shit guitarist and singer, and he's a bit of an idiot, but here he is!"
I agree...and there’s no denying what they helped create together!
..of course he does. He's still paying someone to dress and play like him.
I love the early days of KISS. I remember my older brother playing the first KISS album in 1973/1974. Still have the original vinyl album
That was absolutely classic. Ace Frehley hasn't lost any of his magic. It was good to see Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley on the same stage after all that years. 😊
Gene’s voice has held up the best. He still sounds great!
That dude has an amazing tone
Gene and aces voices were the golden ones that never changed
Amazing isn’t it? He’s in his 70’s!!
@@calsrecords4985 yes, I saw Ace live here in Orlando about three years ago. He still sounded fantastic as well.
I don't understand why people think gene is a mediocre player??
I think he's real real good. Hes all over that fretboard!! 🎉😊
EPIC feeling to see ACE and GENE on stage again, THE BEST #ClassicKiss4EVER
Drunk or sober, Ace Frehley is an absolute legend in the rock 'n' roll industry!
Have you ever seen other band mates MORE star struck than this over Ace!!! So awesome!!! Ace SO COOL!!!!!
Ace was In my opinion, the best member of Kiss.
My too. I meet him back on 87 he was nices joke around that was the best day Ace rules
Ace was and is the best lead guitar player/plumber in Kiss.
@@donnareedfan don't forget trout player.
Yes but replaceable everyone except Paul get rid Paul everything changes
Mike Alves you can’t really replace gene either
Some of the best Kiss songs ever written. Never thought I'd see this happen. Thumbs up to Gene.
thanks for uploading this historical event, rock on Kurt!
Always a KISS fan and at 57 still rock to their 70s music which is my favorite.
It made Gene and the guitar player so happy when Ace started singing ! I love it ! lol
When all you've done all your life is play in a rock and roll band, that's what you do. Period. And when you get old, you continue to do it. It's what you know. I'm glad they're able to.
daveycoon1 yeah, thank Q for saying that cause i think so too.
This is awesome...Nice of Gene and Ace to patch things up and play together. Hopefully more in the future.
Ace Frehley is a living legend !
It’s nice to see Gene be very respectful of Ace.
Allow me to be the first to mention that Gene's singing still sounds killer.
Absolutely!
Ace Frehley has always been and always will be the eternal kiss guitarist, back Ace
Love how Gene leads the way with Cold Gin and brings the band back in time. Kiss are underrated
Gene is such an underrated bass player, deserves so much more recognition, the clever riffs and runs, the song writing and structure. I think he knows his talent, it shows in the confidence of the playing
I loved when Gene Simmons used the Gibson grabber bass guitar!
Andrew Clark Couldn't agree more. Highly underrated as a bassist and even as singer, too.
I agree with you guys! And singing while playing bass can be really hard! He's a great rock bassist and performer!
Cool to see Gene & Ace on stage together again.
Divine Aggression That's Right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Yeah man.👍
Goddamnit Gene still sounds great. And the fact that he brought ACE on stage shows he is a man of class...
Because Gene knows Ace has do many fans fans & is admired by many that know how much talent he has, including fans that know he's one of the best bassist ever. Ace has been sober & Gene is about money.So much history between them. Of course he would include Ace now.❤️ Love you Ace Frehley ❤️❤️❤️
Ace and Gene may not have the best relationship, but when they are on stage together, the music sounds great!
Gene you sound great and so cool to see Ace and a great benefit nice work!!!!
When I watch gene's face watching Ace play the solo on "Parasite", I honestly think that beyond all of the talk and nonsense, he actually loves Ace very much.

totally agree, Paul is a different story
Paul is a self-absorbed asshole who can easily critique others but obviously can't come to terms with his not being able to sing anymore. I mean, literally is unable to sing. Paul the human being disappointed me.
There's a big difference between Ace & Peter Ace is a funny guy liability Peter is a ticking bomb and knows how to push buttons That's why Paul is not playing along He's seen it all before
Try that again in complete sentences so I know what in the hell you're trying to write.
These guys get along so well when just playing the music. Quit with the war of words. Let the music do the talking please.
It's so cool to see Ace and Gene playing these great KISS tunes!
I just overlook that comment.
I love this without paint raw version. It just shows they were really GREAT with or without paint. Cold Gin Time Again 👍
Between Gene's compliments to Ace, playing three Ace songs and totally crushing them, this really gave me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for the upload, Kurt!
Don't know what the hell people are talking about, ACE still HAS IT. Stop being idiots and just admire, or don't, I don't give a shit. But to me ACE still rocks!!!
Ace and Gene actually look happy to see each other here
classic Ace solo on Parasite....like vintage wine!
Kiss stripped of Paul is the new Kiss. Hear the solos that Ace invented how they should be played. Even Gene is impressed.
Genes voice is spot on. I especially like the liberties he takes with his playing when he’s not under the Kiss constraint. As always Ace is the man!!!!
Gene still got good pipes ,nice to see them again for a good cause
Yeah. He’s an anomaly for sure. Guys almost 70 here and still singing really goddamn good
KISS will always be my favorite band!!!
👍Ace🎸 Has Always Been My Favorite Member Of Kiss!
Yeah, I still listen to this in the car. "Strange Ways" lead solo always made my hair stand up. Love it forever.
Ace is such a genuine rockstar
You can just see Ace putting in more work into his performance cause Genes on stage, absolutely phenomenal performance guys 🤟
Outstanding! Love it! Takes me back to my childhood.
I was there...It was terrific. Everybody on here bitching about the sound. It's recorded on a frickin phone, what do expect?
My favorite Ace Frehley since 1976 when I first saw KISS in Tucson, Az.❤️✌️🎶🎤🎸🎶🎵🎼
(49 yr old drummer here) That drummer BLOWS!
ACE the Spaceman !!! how cool was that !
Nice too see these guys getting along.
Gene and Ace should tour together this year!!!
That is one of the best versions of that song I have ever heard. Cold Gin!!!!
Gene always still has it in his voice, it's amazing. he sounds GREAT!!! never really lost his touch
Agreed!
Man, when Ace steps forward and fires up I almost get tears and chills just from the history of where that’s coming from
Memories of the best years Kiss had.
MORE OF THE SPACE MAN ACE FREHLEY IT DOES THE HEART GOOD TO SEE ACE AND GENE TOGETHER, WHERE’s the rest of the boys? I have to say when the four guys get together THERES A MAGIC THAT HAPPENS.
Paul and Eric and Tommy they chilled.
Ace And Gene Back Together Again ☆
Gene’s band is great, and this concert with Ace is so much fun. Enjoy it people🤟🏼
Ace Frehley LEGEND!!! He designed the KISS logo, wrote so many great KISS songs, he should be recognized for the LEGEND he is, todays YUPPIE fans have NO CLUE!!!
"You know, I've got a ten incher, HAHAHA!" I can easily see him saying that and hysterical laugh afterwards lol
Love this show and this angle. I am the balding man in the front row.
gene is such an amazing singer and how he looks at ace and hugs him makes time slow down
Great singer... but awful songwriter...
Ace - Gene - Peter - Paul - Ty ty so much for all the awesome sounds and sharing your gifts 🥰
Nice to see and hear Ace and Gene . getting along together. Cool
Ace rules always has he always will love his guitar playing what a influence he has had on my playing don’t give a fuck what anybody says he’s the best
absolutely !
Gene really enjoyed this reunion.
you notice the little shots at Ace every chance he had?
Ace is the reason theres 3 other guys playing les pauls on stage
This is GREAT! Happy to hear and see Gene and Ace together. That classic KISS sound is there. And Ace is a mega good guitarist and songwriter, and gene is a great songwriter and basist as well. They do good together.
Gotta watch now and then for the memories. I was there so glad you put this up. Awesome night in all
Something like this should the REAL LAST KISS CONCERT sound. Oh Yes! This is REAL ROCK N ROLL!
Gene's bass sounds awesome!!
Gene is phenomenal. His voice and playing still great as ever.
Ace Frehley always had that ''spacewalk'' style of moving. It's part of the character.
Nice to see them over come there differences for a good cause. And fuck all the negative comments from some that have no respect for them, and the ones that grew up listening to them!
So nice to see these old friends and their band having a great time!
Ace fired his band hooked up with genes band.
Ace Rules
Y’know… gene and ace on the same stage gives me way more excited vibes than KISS’ last show
Considering how close they've both said they were in the early days because they would always pair up in hotel rooms on the road and got to know one another so well, this doesn't surprise me. The business relationship might not be so great, but true friendship always survives the storms.
@@CrashTestPilot so true ! Well worded
My husband is a truck driver He bought a older Peterbilt truck from Ace about seven years ago. Ace said he won it in a card game LMFAO is a cool I don't give two fucks type of guy! He treated us as if we had known him for years.
Ace is on fire. Very cool to see Gene and Ace together.
Damn both Gene and Ace sound great here. Gene’s bass playing really solid, his tone sounds great! Ace tasty solos as always, kickass!
4 les pauls on 11 and Gene's bass cuts through and sounds amazing.
After the EOTR tour this should be the thing Ace, Gene and this Band!
Who gives a shit if Ace is out of pitch and playing a bit sloppy? Come on, he will be seventy in a couple of years and he's having so much fun on that stage. Ace is Rock 'n Roll, no matter what!
Ace's "sloppiness" is his greatness IMHO! KISS rulz
Even Gene stands back and watches Ace play like a kid staring at his favorite poster!
Even BEFORE the last syllable of the first word ♠️Ace sang on Parasite rolled off his tongue, I had the BIGGEST shit-eating GRIN on my face‼️
There is no substitute!
Ace’s nuances, his like-no-other delivery when he sings is so unique, it should almost be patented.
Thanks for the upload!
❤️ U ♠️‼️
Aces playing is out of this world just listen to it soar over the mediocre band sound,true greatness ,his leads where so unique
Gene was being so gracious to Ace, like they were best friends. Great to see !
Gene crapped on ace after this tour.
Parasite....what a hit....I love those come backs...
Ace is an important part of the history of guitarists.
All my thumbs up! Now this is Rock n Roll! THIS IS KISS, OH MAN YES! GENE AND ACE ARE TIGHT PLAYING TOGETHER. THEY SHOULD MAKE IT NOW,
ACE AND GENE STILL RULE! 🍺🤘
It is wonderful when friends can 'bury the hatchet' and reunite!
It’s strange that both Vinnie and Ace reunited with Gene for a gig that year
Vinnie was a screw up.
Not a Kiss fan but this is nice to watch. Some complain about Ace being out of time and shit like that. This was a benefit show and sometimes you have no time for rehearsals. You just go there and jam and have a great time and this seems to be the case.
Thanks Ace and guys. Texas Loves You!!! 💝😍
Gene's voice is still awesome !
I'm actually surprised
Ace as always is kick ass NOONE can touch him..he is unbelievable TALENT
LOL
Ace still can flat out play. Enough said
never knew this happened. this is what fun looks like!!! Ace truly has a unique sound and style
Gene is awesome. Fixing the timing on BOTH the songs. Just looking at the drummer and stomping feet. Little shit makes the greats....well...great!
never thought id see these 2 guys play together again - Awesome shit
ok cool , well peter is done and way too old now anyways
Ace is and always will be the coolest member of KISS!!!!!
ACE. GENE. PAUL. AND PETER. WAS THE BEST OF KISS. BUT NOTHING LIVES FOREVER.
Didn't there was such a thing as the Gene Simmons Band. They sound awesome.
saw Kiss in 1975 they were incredible. Saw them again in 2009, they were equally astonishing.
What was really cool was when Gene and the band stepped back and gave Ace his time in the light. There is just a mutual respect among the band and they all dont try and steal the attention.
