As an Ace and KISS fan, I actually did like the 'Lightning Bolt' (Elder/Creatures) costume. Very simplistic, but really creative at the same time. A black costume with a silver lightning bolt running down the body... really badass look! Definitely didn't deserve the hate this AI gave it.
It’s funny that your number 10 outfit is actually Ace’s favorite stage outfit. I read a interview with Ace about 8 years ago. He stated the Elders costume was his favorite.
Damn,I love the 81-82 Ace outfit. Sleek. Lol.....Thayer shouldn't even be on here at all and the title should be "All The Ace Frehley Costumes ranked".
The minimalist design is also a favorite of mine. The shorter, feathered hair and simple black and spandex with a prominent silver lightning bolt suit him well.
I like the 79 costume too. Ace had a double meaning. Space ace...and also ace in cards. 79 I thought was a good mash up of space and Hoyle playing cards.
Sorry, can't give Tommy any ratings for the Spaceman costumes since they are all derivatives of what Ace created. Personally I'm all about the '75 Alive costume and the '74 Hotter Than Hell, but that's just me.
Kiss didn't create their own wardrobe. Larry LeGaspi was the designer. He created costumes for some other groups in the 70s/80's and many of the Sci/fi shows of the era. Kiss did create their own makeup, however.
@@johngalush8790 I do know about Larry. For some reason I can't recall the boot maker's name. And there was also Maria Contessa. That said, a lot of the ideas came from the band members themselves, but of course they were made by designers. Love all of the history.
I never thought much about the costumes, but the Destroyer and Love Gun outfits were pretty cool 🆒 on the Album Covers!! And I do agree with the Dynasty costume for Ace was actually better than the other members costumes!
For me, worst spaceman costumes are those of Tommy. The rest from Ace are kickass costumes!! Most Incredible for me are 75, 76, 77, and 79 costumes, but totally agree that number one is Dynasty costume-79!
Hotter Than Hell, for sure. Dynasty suit was too Vegas. Never liked the Alive suit. Too minimal. If you put Ace in the re-designed "Monster" suit, I think that might be my #2. I think the "Elder costumes were a nice try if the intention was too "update" Kiss for the "New Wave" era but it didn't work. I am partial to the early leather and studs suits but Gene has had some pretty great iterations, particularly the crazy Dynasty versions with the boots with the toe nails! Hilarious but awesome!
I think the Elders costume would have been much better if Ace ditched the wrestling boots and went back to the DtK/Alive era boots. However, the DtK/Alive era my fav of all costumes.
Gene actually had 3 diff outfits during this cycle but it's tough to find the one with baubles on it. That's all I can think to call them then there's the exaggerated muscle one and another. Similar but just messier with less definition. Always bugged me this gets overlooked and it's made to appear he had one.
I feel I might be a small minority here. I love the Love Gun era costume for Ace Frehley the most. His white boots were what made him stand out when the other 3 members all wore black. What I didn't like about the band. They (Paul and Gene) chose new makeup for new members Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent! Right 👍? Why 😮 couldn't they do that for Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer as well. What a awful way to tarnish a memory.
Don't agree with the AI on several comments. I actually like all of Ace's costumes from the original days. Some were better than others, but all were cool!
Appreciate the opinion. I've always thought that era for Ace was by far the weakest. I'm curious as to which outfits you think are worse than the Elder?
I agree, love The Elder outfits for them all actually, not my favorites but they're a nice change from the bigger designs. Best would be 79/80, followed by 76/77. Worst of all would be all the Tommy outfits.
I agree actually.. Out of the four outfits from The Elder era, Aces was the best. The Early KISS Tour should’ve been proclaimed the worst. It’s not a bad outfit at all, it just suffers from being the first one. After that early tour the quality of each outfit was getting better and better and more cool and unique as the years progressed
The Dynasty outfit looked even better on stage, when he would ditch the tri-cuts, the cape, and the biceps cuffs, and roll his spandex up to his elbows. There were a German music magazine that once referred to him as looking like an alien god of vengeance when he did that, back in those days. I always thought that was a pretty cool way of describing that look.
I think if any arguing needs done in the comments it should be more about the crappy accent the AI text reader uses while spewing run on sentences. Oh and three words..... Hooked on Phonics!
Yeah, I'm excited for it. He's been talking it up quite a bit. We'll see. He's the only one of the 4 who's made some truly good music as a solo artist.
Why is Tommy even on this list he'll never be the spaceman don't call him Spaceman just because he wears a suits doesn't mean he is he can't get his own persona
AI ranking sucks: My rank: 1. Destroyer/ RnR Over 2. Alive/Dressed to Kill 3. Elder/Creatures The earlier costumes are primitive & cheap, & the later costumes are too busy & gaudy
I was commenting on outfits on Stanley when they showed pictures from Creatures and they called it badass ? Yeah GENE SURE BUT THE REST😂 Gene will always be my favorite in Kiss
I actually kinda like the Elder/Creatures outfit. It was very minimalist, but seemed kinda badass.
The Love Gun era is the best.
To me by far the best Spaceman costume was from the Destroyer tour that's where ALL four members had their BEST costumes overall
Agree!...It's between Destroyer and Love Gun
I’m between the Alive and Destroyer Costumes 🤔🤔🤔
The dynasty and destroyer costumes were the best of Ace Frehleys costumes! Do genes costumes next🔥
I agree I like the Dynasty costumes and the Destroyer one was a good one too.
kidding me ?..... dynasty was the WORST...it was to appeal to little kids....i was 14 then and i thought those costumes were awful....😝
As an Ace and KISS fan, I actually did like the 'Lightning Bolt' (Elder/Creatures) costume. Very simplistic, but really creative at the same time. A black costume with a silver lightning bolt running down the body... really badass look! Definitely didn't deserve the hate this AI gave it.
That's fair. I was surprised by how much people like this costume. It's made me re-think it a bit.
@@allkissranked for sure, that costume has real character, it´s an iconic costume!
It’s funny that your number 10 outfit is actually Ace’s favorite stage outfit. I read a interview with Ace about 8 years ago. He stated the Elders costume was his favorite.
That's interesting! I didn't know that. From the comments a lot of people like it too
I heard him say in an interview the Dynasty cape outfit was his favorite. The two most iconic IMO are the Love Gun and Destroyer outfit.
Ace said in the interview he really liked the lightning bolt that ran down the costume. And it wasn’t bulky to wear onstage.
It’s close to my favorite next to Destroyer and Dynasty. I like how minimalist it is.
I love these videos! Great channel!
Damn,I love the 81-82 Ace outfit. Sleek. Lol.....Thayer shouldn't even be on here at all and the title should be "All The Ace Frehley Costumes ranked".
The minimalist design is also a favorite of mine. The shorter, feathered hair and simple black and spandex with a prominent silver lightning bolt suit him well.
Ace’s Destroyer outfit was always my favorite.
Ha ha ha😂enough Tommy,lets get back to the real deal. Epic
Destroyer is the best outfit. Never liked the hth outfit, but the early pre-fame outfits likely suffered from a lack of $$$
Destroyer is my favorite.
Fr
Love gun era, hands down.!!!!
I've always thought Ace's hotter than hell outfit looks like a playing card. Right?
As a life-long Kiss and Ace fan, I'm thoroughly shocked that your rankings match mine. One of us is showing our cred.
These are waaaaay cool. Do more!!
I like the 79 costume too. Ace had a double meaning. Space ace...and also ace in cards. 79 I thought was a good mash up of space and Hoyle playing cards.
I go back to Day One with Kiss.
1)Dressed to Kill/ Alive
2)Hotter Than Hell
THE END!!
81-82 the best for sure
Agreed. I love how minimalist the Elder/Creatures costume was. Just black spandex pierced by a silver lightning bolt.
Dynasty Ace Costume is Peak
The creatures outfit was the best
Yep.
Totally nailed it !..............First rankings video I've seen that I could of put together myself.
Thanks! Nice to see someone of the same mind, at least on this one thing!
Appreciate the comment!
Not SPACEMAN....SIigjhhhh was ALWAYS SPACE ACE ...
I think Ace's best and my favorite costume is either Destroyer or Shock Me, but I would say his Destroyer costume is an icon
Destroyer era is definitely iconic.
Sorry, can't give Tommy any ratings for the Spaceman costumes since they are all derivatives of what Ace created. Personally I'm all about the '75 Alive costume and the '74 Hotter Than Hell, but that's just me.

Awesome video.
Thanks!
I just fell in love with that AI speaker💕
All I get is negative comments about her. But I'm glad somebody enjoys her! :)
Love gun and then Destroyer. The Dynasty costumes all look like they came from Liberace's closet.
In-order of coolness 1) Love Gun, 2) Dynasty, 3) HTH (costume featured on the back of that album cover, but never worn in-concert).
Ace's first and last costume for the band are very "similar"
Hotter Than Hell outfit
I never thought much about the costumes, but the Destroyer and Love Gun outfits were pretty cool 🆒 on the Album Covers!!
And I do agree with the Dynasty costume for Ace was actually better than the other members costumes!
I like the 1st pattern Alive out fits or more properly the dressed to kill out fits.
4,2 and 1 are my opinion from 1st to 3rd
ACE !
1977 - 1978
The ONE and ONLY SPACEMAN !
I like #4 Destoryer the best.
Dynasty costume is number one and also Aces own favourite
Lovegun is the epitome of a cool ass Ace!
For me, worst spaceman costumes are those of Tommy. The rest from Ace are kickass costumes!! Most Incredible for me are 75, 76, 77, and 79 costumes, but totally agree that number one is Dynasty costume-79!
Yeah something about the 79 costume is just awesome.
Tommy's costumes are fine, but just knockoffs of prior Ace costumes.
Thanks for the comment!
Hotter Than Hell, for sure. Dynasty suit was too Vegas. Never liked the Alive suit. Too minimal. If you put Ace in the re-designed "Monster" suit, I think that might be my #2. I think the "Elder costumes were a nice try if the intention was too "update" Kiss for the "New Wave" era but it didn't work.

I think the Elders costume would have been much better if Ace ditched the wrestling boots and went back to the DtK/Alive era boots. However, the DtK/Alive era my fav of all costumes.
Naw man,the silver hi top sneakers kick ass
Hotter than Hell was the best 🔥
All KISS Demon Costumes Ranked next?
My list of the ACE costumes....Best to Worst...#1 Destroyer/R-n-R Over, Love Gun Era, '75 Saturn Rings, Dynasty, HTH Era...
You had me on the first one, lost me on the second one. I liked the Dressed to Kill costume better than all of Tommy's and the blue one from Dynasty.
whats with the cartoon girl?
Ah, i see were also adding the imposter on this list?
My favs are Love Gun and Dynasty
She forgot of the other ace hotter than hell costume
The one from the back cover?
@@allkissranked yes
I think the other hotter than hell costume is the worst
Dynasty costume and elder costumes worked for me
Opposite ends of this list! :)
For me the Alive costume with the rings is the best! Probably because it was my introduction to KISS
I love Nro 4 - Love Gun Era.
The elder/creatures is my fav 🤷
Gene actually had 3 diff outfits during this cycle but it's tough to find the one with baubles on it. That's all I can think to call them then there's the exaggerated muscle one and another. Similar but just messier with less definition. Always bugged me this gets overlooked and it's made to appear he had one.
Agree with the number one, the Dynasty-outfit, but I also like the Elder-dress very much.
Yeah, a lot of people seem to like his elder outfit as well. I thought it was pretty universally disliked but I was wrong. :)
Thanks for the comment.
KISStory and KISS interviews disagree that Dynasty era were the best. KISS favorite was Love Gun that why they decided those in reunion
I feel I might be a small minority here. I love the Love Gun era costume for Ace Frehley the most. His white boots were what made him stand out when the other 3 members all wore black. What I didn't like about the band. They (Paul and Gene) chose new makeup for new members Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent! Right 👍? Why 😮 couldn't they do that for Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer as well. What a awful way to tarnish a memory.
Judging from the comments, I think a lot of people's favorite is the love gun era.
Personally I rather like the Elder outfit. It was novel.
Love gun and Dynasty and unmasked
Don't agree with the AI on several comments. I actually like all of Ace's costumes from the original days. Some were better than others, but all were cool!
Ace Is Ace
Forget about the fakes
This lost my interest immediately as it proclaimed the Elder outfit as the worst.
Appreciate the opinion. I've always thought that era for Ace was by far the weakest. I'm curious as to which outfits you think are worse than the Elder?
I agree, love The Elder outfits for them all actually, not my favorites but they're a nice change from the bigger designs. Best would be 79/80, followed by 76/77. Worst of all would be all the Tommy outfits.
Actually...Ace's Elder/Creatures outfit looks badass on Tommy
I agree actually.. Out of the four
outfits from The Elder era, Aces was the best. The Early KISS Tour should’ve been proclaimed the worst. It’s not a bad outfit at all, it just suffers from being the first one. After that early tour the quality of each outfit was getting better and better and more cool and unique as the years progressed
Agreed shorter, feathered hair, and the simple minimalist black spandex with the lightning bolts fit him well. He rocked it.
Alive is my favorite
Could you rank Paul’s costumes?
Planning on it soon!
@@allkissranked So, I could tell you before you rank it: Paul's Elder-Dress was the worst ever! Somehow, just like an aerobic-training-dress.
The Hotter than Hell look was Ace's coolest. Actually...it was the whole band's coolest looking era.
You're right. It was a pretty solid era for all 4 of them.
1. Love Gun/Alive 2 2. DTK/Alive 3. HTH 4. Destroyer/RNRO 5. Dynasty/Unmasked
Love gun costumes and stage were the best hands down... end of discussion
Alive/Destroyer.
What does an AI woman know?Personally I liked all of them though ACE was my favorite member from the beginning,ROCK ON!!!😃😃😃
who are to judge..
HOW DARE YOU. Tommy Fake Frehley Thayer does not even count as an Ace costume!!!
The Dynasty outfit looked even better on stage, when he would ditch the tri-cuts, the cape, and the biceps cuffs, and roll his spandex up to his elbows.
There were a German music magazine that once referred to him as looking like an alien god of vengeance when he did that, back in those days.
I always thought that was a pretty cool way of describing that look.
tldr - All the costumes from Destroyer were the best. I saw KISS for the first time Sept 6 1976. Varsity Stadium, Toronto. I was 13.
1. 1977/78
2. 1976/77
3. 1981/82
4. 1979/80
5. 1974/75
6. 1975/76
The girl is pretty.
Dynasty! It was the perfect blend of space-man and super-hero. Always been my fav.
Yeah. I agree with the guy down below...⬇👍⬇
I think if any arguing needs done in the comments it should be more about the crappy accent the AI text reader uses while spewing run on sentences. Oh and three words..... Hooked on Phonics!
Dynasty outfit is #1!😂😂😂😂😂
Ridiculous.
Ace didn't play on all these albums 😂
Background music is way too loud.
Appreciate the feedback! Will adjust in the future.
No 1 was my favourite... The imposter shouldn't of been in this... ACE is the only space man...
NEW ACE ALBUM FEB 20TH 2024
Yeah, I'm excited for it. He's been talking it up quite a bit. We'll see. He's the only one of the 4 who's made some truly good music as a solo artist.
I would have preferred a real human hottie instead of AI
Why is Tommy even on this list he'll never be the spaceman don't call him Spaceman just because he wears a suits doesn't mean he is he can't get his own persona
Those are Tommy Thayer costumes, not Ace costumes. This is a BS
Yup. That was the intention. Trying to objectively evaluate just the costume, not the guitar player or what they played.
Who cares about Tommy Thayar ? He has brought NOTHING to KISS
Whichever way you look at it, it's all utterly ridiculous.
The Dynasty/Unmasked costume looked like Ace was wearing a diaper. It was awful. Destroyer/Rock And Roll Over costume was the best by far.
1. Love Gun
2. Destroyer
3. Elder / Creatures
4. KISS
5. Dressed to Kill / Alive
6. Hotter Than Hell
7. Dynasty
Tommy Thayer costumes? Who cares!
way off to much tommy and 75 costume is classic
AI ranking sucks:
My rank:
1. Destroyer/ RnR Over
2. Alive/Dressed to Kill
3. Elder/Creatures
The earlier costumes are primitive & cheap, & the later costumes are too busy & gaudy
Старик Эйс всегда был чертовски крут! 👍
No one cares about Fake Frehley's costumes
Los de Tommy Tyer son por lejos los peores.
You’re just making fun of Ace Frehley you’re a shame🤬
Nope. I'm a huge KISS and Ace fan. I'm not sure where you're getting that impression from.
Every rank on this list is wrong.
His Hotter Than Hell costume is the best. The Alive costume is his weakest
Just for the record Fraud Panley has never had a badass costume 😂
Sure? You also like his aerobic-training-suit, from the elder era?
I was commenting on outfits on Stanley when they showed pictures from Creatures and they called it badass ? Yeah GENE SURE BUT THE REST😂 Gene will always be my favorite in Kiss
@@terjeweum3677 sorry, I guess, I misunderstood your first posting 😝
Elder and Dynasty are the worst
Absolutely!!😝
F AI! Garbage!
