Yeah "10,000 Volts" so far has been impossible to pull off live. Dear God I heard it on here from the other night and it sounded like he was singing in one key playing in another. It rocks in the studio though! ☆He's opening with his biggest songs and getting them out of the way right out the gate. Allways loved "rip it out" as an opener
Saw him play a couple of nights earlier in Frankfort, Kentucky. Didn't go in expecting the show of a lifetime, but I was very impressed at how well Ace can rock at 72yo, and I really enjoyed the show. The great backing band helped a lot too, especially that incredible drummer who also carried a lot of the singing load.
10,000 volts sounds so bad. Whoever said it first I agree. Ace is around too many "Yes men". The recorded single is so heavily over produced. Ace unfortunately cant sustain a singing note for more than 2 seconds. I knew it would sound like this live. Hope yall had a fun time at the show though, and thanks for sharing!
This show was great! I have seen kiss three times live over the last four years and I think Ace sounded better live by far! You cannot beat real live rock and roll and music that is not pre-recorded
Ace is getting loose, starting to get it into the groove. I don't think they do much rehearsing, just playing the gigs. I don't think Ace had played guitar or sang much when they started this tour so it's taken longer than usual to get it together do to his age most likely. Ace we appreciate you doing this tour, you could be on a cruise somewhere enjoying yourself as the rockstar you are, but you're giving back to your true fans. Love seeing your playing an timing is coming back to you, awesome.
Great performance! Tight and hard. Love it! Thanks Mr Ace for giving us real rock and the important part of the sound of real KISS. And all of the band do a great job! Super!
but as ace said before he likes solos and songs that you hear it and it sounds like the cd etc. i jammed 10000 volts 30 times by now. i am a huge ace fan. i have ace tattoo. i met ace. i got the boot signed. i got tons of ace footage from front row with frehleys comet and others. but he has to clean up that song. he has to look at his guitar the whole time so he misses the first 2 words of every verse. then he messes up some of the words. and even the guitar part he messed up some during the solo. i love ace. my favorite by far of all kiss guys and i have hundreds of kiss videos on my page. kenny is even in some of my videos. i know kenny well. the guy who filmed this and uploaded it. i got tribute videos. interviews. kiss concerts. meet and greet. book signing. videos on makeup. boots. guitars. so i am not hating. ace is the best rocker ever. but the studio version is flawless. his best song maybe ever. and live it is so far from being ok they needed to practice this 100 times before the did it live. i feel they practice if 5 times. it is so far away from the studio version. i still love to hear them do it. i would be singing along also. but i know the words better than ace does. to his own song.
@@MOUNTAINOUS I get you. But he is 72 I can't see myself doing this at his age. But yet he is doing it and I love him for that. Never met him but I am going to. And very much looking forward to it.
@@cathnu2 i know just wanted to hear that song live. i love it and cherry medicine and walking on the moon. i got ace tattoo and videos of me with ace. and video of me front row both nights. i got real ace suit. videos of me in ace makeup and suit. i got a cherry sunburst les paul. ace is my favorite. just he needs to get this song dialed close to the album. the live version was horrid. not okay. it was horrid and it is hard to believe the studio version is better than shock me. he has to get that song down. it was like a beginner was playing it.
This is one of the better performance I've seen by Ace. Sometimes he just seems slow uninterested and sings with a speech impairment and is always a second off on singing into the mike.
He is already over 70 years old, and his rock and roll youth, unfortunately, affected his health. And he really is always late for the microphone. He loves the guitar more than the microphone))
10,000 volts getting better, the 1/25/24 show it was almost 5 minutes. It has tightened up to be just a little over 4 minutes here. Also, Ace is constantly looking down at the fret board therefore you cannot hear the words when he does that. Is the riff that hard to play? Because Jeremy is covering basically all the difficult parts allowing Ace to focus on the lead vocals.
i love ace. great footage. and 10000 volts i have jammed 30 times. but ace needs to practice it more before they do it live. i see 2 times he did it live. he has to look down at his guitar so much he misses the first word or two over every line. forgets a few words. i want to see ace clean that song up as i think is it his best single of all time. the studio version and the official video is just out of the world. great footage kenny
Lol, it seems like lately youtube has become Frehleytube! He's everywhere. Well good for him. He's not the greatest at anything, but he's having fun, and working to pay his bills to the IRS and I wish him well with that. For a 72 year old, he's doing a pretty good impression of a 70's rock star. I'm 3 years younger and I wish I could still do what he's doing. I hope his new album does well, I like what I've heard so far.
This is an open question for me too. Peter is a great jazz drummer. They could do some extraordinary project with Ace, blues, jazz... there is room to get creative with their instruments.
Reading a lot of petty comments. This is what live music is, with mistakes, changes, and new songs aren't as smooth as old ones. Ace looks loose, and seems to be having a good time. In short, imperfections are what live music is all about, sounding like the CD is the worst of live. In fact, it's what led to Kiss using backing tracks. This is good, honest, rock music played in the moment by a 70+ year old hero. What more could we expect?!?
I agree. We were at this show and wonder how many could do a 2 hour show playing hard and good at his age!!! The entire band put on a great show. Ace looks great! And so did the rest of the band. The crowd loved the band. The opening band was also fantastic.
Ace apologists in the comments are delusional. This “performance” is yet another train wreck and raises serious questions about the status of Ace’s sobriety & how much of the singing and playing on upcoming release is sonically manipulated. Tommy Thayer can play rings around Ace who needs to retire and stop making an ass of himself including mocking Thayer as going “back to the breadline.” 🙄
Sounds really groovy! Very cool to open with the two killer songs Shock Me and Rocket Ride. Far better than the fake-Kiss that walked the earth the last fifteen years. Frehley got some really cool guys with him on stage too!
ACE has proven that he was the coolest part of KISS, the musical glue that held them together and that band was never the same without him. AN ACE FREHLEY ticket is worth every penny!
Delusional. Funny that he couldn't do shit without them and he plays at local rib cook offs. If he is all that, where is the record sales or fan support
This is way better than some of the other performances. Seems pretty on it. Seen Some really indifferent performances posted on here. Sometimes looks like he’s sedated and can’t be bothered to strum a chord. Much better suited to being the lead guitarist of a band rather than the focal point. Great songwriter & occasional vocalist. But it’s never been his strong point fronting a band.
Better than what?? I watched the whole thing, was cringing at the performance. Solos sound like he's just picking up the guitar for the first time in his life, how is it songs he has played his whole career he can't even get right at this point?
Between the dyed mustache and goatee and obvious wig, he looks ridiculous. Hopefully, the rest of 10K Volts is better than the song. I thought Spaceman was a major step backward from Space Invader.
I was there. I got to see Ace Frehley live. Thank you so much Lauren and Travis for a night I'll never forget.
We had an awesome time last night, they sounded great.
I sen him in Jamestown NY last April, day after his birthday and he sounded great!!! Love the Real Spaceman!!!❤❤❤
'Rocket Ride' ...what a freakin' great guitar riff!
The reason I started playing guitar! Glad to see Ace is back!
Good for Ace. He seems somewhat focused & appears to be playing better as of late. Let’s hope this continues.
He really looks much fresher and more cheerful than a few months ago and this is very pleasing. High voltage works wonders))
@@UNKN0WN_USERNAME He had suffered an injure back then and was under a lot of pain killers.
Much better than the previous two shows
So far so good-but 10k Volts a bit rusty-wrt singing-let’s see more!
@@edsegura6399 yea it doesnt seem to be translating very well live. Wish he’d play more of his own stuff tho. Whole setlist is pretty much KISS.
@@edsegura6399
Because he didn't write or probably play on the recording of the song outside of the lead. So he has no real connection to the song.
Are you sure he didn't write or help write the song? I read where he wrote the songs on the album with a guy named Steve Brown.@@whataboutrob442
Yeah "10,000 Volts" so far has been impossible to pull off live. Dear God I heard it on here from the other night and it sounded like he was singing in one key playing in another.
It rocks in the studio though!

I’m waiting for St. Louis to get announced. I just checked. Not yet. Going to see Ace is always fun. Always brings a hard band with him. 👍🏻
Ace is Ace . He sounds like he always has... that's why we love him
Great Video! Thanks!
I Love ❤️ Ace!
He’s The Best!!! ⚡️🎸⚡️
Ace always give it his all
No lip syncing or backing tracks 😊
Awesome Footage !!!
Love the intro instrumental….must be from 10,000 volts!!

Hopefully Ace get to come down under to Australia soon! Thanks for the upload too
He can’t as the IRS has taken his passport. He mentioned this recently as the reason why he hasn’t toured Europe in a while.
Ace looks great !
Actually the best he's been in a few years.
And still sounds mediocre 😕
Yeah but Ace did have a good night.
Yeah, I found it kinda sad. I'm an Ace fan for sure, but he seemed kinda drunk to me.
Hey, ACE, Congrats on 17 years, im coming up on 4 years myself, new band sounds fucken awesome.
This show was great! I have seen kiss three times live over the last four years and I think Ace sounded better live by far! You cannot beat real live rock and roll and music that is not pre-recorded
I am sorry my friend, but KISS is a million times better than Ace could ever be.
Boooo 👎.
No offence.
Bit of friendly rivalry that's all.

@@nicholasgarnett1767 Yes I agree, nothing personal. I just don't understand why you had to throw KISS under the bus. 👍⚡️🎸😊

Perfect analysis. Ace is old and pretty deaf at this point, guys. Give the guy a break. He is sober. Just old. But keeps on ticking haha!!!
Ace has mentioned he doesn’t practice at all, so yes, his only practice playing 10,000 Volts is actually during the shows.
Great performance! Tight and hard. Love it! Thanks Mr Ace for giving us real rock and the important part of the sound of real KISS. And all of the band do a great job! Super!
Ace sings like he’s got a brain injury from doing mass quantities of drugs and drinking alcohol his whole adult life. That’s right he has.
Sex drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. That’s what we live for.
Rock and Roll: Ace has lived it and survived. We are all the luckier for it.
This is a great video!!! Love Ace’s look! All these guys Rock! 🪐🎸🎶⚡️⭐️
Can’t wait to get the album 💿🪐⚡️⭐️
& see them live again!!!

That was great! Wish I could find a link to the whole show. Thanks!!
The Drummer is related to Jackie Coogan on the Adam's Family!
I was at this show damn good show he might be getting old but he can still play that Les Paul
TY for recording
Drummer is giving his all
I'm very proud of ACE love the Band this rocks.
Ace , you and your band are still good to go bro , bless yall !👏👏👏🌞🇦🇺
Btw. Congrats on your new 10 000 volts ! ✊⚡⭐☝️
This is one of the better performance I've seen by Ace. Sometimes he just seems slow uninterested and sings with a speech impairment and is always a second off on singing into the mike.

Agreed. Ace needs to not play parts that he can’t play without looking at the fretboard while singing
It sucked big time. That is the honest truth.
I think this sounds pretty good. Good for you Ace.
That Scott Coogan back there on drums???? Jason/Presto, PA.
I think that's his name. Whatever it is, he's quite incredible!
Great video sounds great
I wish Ace would use his blue colored limited Edition les paul👍🏻
He no longer has it. He sold it one of the many times he needed money
Hope you come back to the Whiskey A Go Go soon. Ace can’t wait to see you again there. Oh yeah you got that right buddy
Ace is back & He told You so !
Ace was the SOUL of Kiss, never forget that.
Rocket Ride still needs work. But this tour lineup is much improved compared to the last few years. Keep it up. Nice job, all.
11:34 drummer says I'm hungry feed me cheeseburger 🍔😂 15:07 animal lol
i love ace. great footage. and 10000 volts i have jammed 30 times. but ace needs to practice it more before they do it live. i see 2 times he did it live. he has to look down at his guitar so much he misses the first word or two over every line. forgets a few words. i want to see ace clean that song up as i think is it his best single of all time. the studio version and the official video is just out of the world. great footage kenny
He definately still has it!!!!!
Kiss forever Ace Frehley lives on. I’m reading your book right now.
no regrets. Love it.

I hope his new album does well, I like what I've heard so far.
Does anybody know what the drummer was trying to tell Ace when he kept pointing to his mouth from 11:35 to 11:40 in the video
Im guessing the new intro to the show's is the song Stratosphere the instrumental that closes out the album 10,000 volts.
Looks like he’s been actually hearing the criticism and started practicing more😭
ACE 🧡
They seem to be getting their shit together with the sound. His voice went down a few octaves!
Is that intro his new instrumental?
The sound guy at the show needed to pipe up Ace’s vocals a little more.
The less of Aces vocals one hears....the better.
Ace is better than ever! Great! 🎉
That's the right way Tommy.. let's go ace
I never understood why Peter Criss and Ace never started a band together after leaving Kiss. Even now a tour with Peter would leave them set for life.
This is an open question for me too. Peter is a great jazz drummer. They could do some extraordinary project with Ace, blues, jazz... there is room to get creative with their instruments.
Because Criss is an even worse muso than Ace, and Ace knows it.
question: Anyone know what the pre-show music is from? I couldn't place it.
It's great to see Ace playing so well.
it's called "Into the stratosphere-- an instrumental from new album
Diggin' the jacket!
What is the name of the intro music? It’s really good.
It’s going to be off his latest solo album which doesn’t come out until late February
Ace Rocks 🤟🤘🤟🤘

Learn the songs Ace, it makes playing live look a bit more like you’re a professional musician.
That's because Paul lips sings to background tracks
This is way better than some of the other performances. Seems pretty on it. Seen

This show looks like a good one. Some of the other shows this month were horrible 😮
Ace should wear a silver haired wig. Not that his wig isn't cool, it is... I just think the silver hair would be cool is all.
Luckiest guy in the world this bloke. How does he get away with this shit? Its fucking terrible.
What song is the intro
ACE IS A GENIUS
not really
Now you can clearly hear he used Autotune to record his new Single.....
Fun

Folks, this is real rock and roll played live by great musicians! Great band. Ace is a bad ass!

Another show in 2024 and 10k Volts still sounds bad. Looks like they don't do any rehearsal.
My guess is the band rehearsed, Ace didn't show
sounded pretty good. just that guys head covered the footage of Ace playing the solo! lol
Maybe he should give Tommy a shout to help out
Its been confirmed the band rehearses but ace doesnt
@@daves_not_here_mannn haha by who?
wow i have to say see gene and paul dont ever say that Ace sucks because ace and his new band are the best
Even at $75 a pop pretty pricey
Between the dyed mustache and goatee and obvious wig, he looks ridiculous. Hopefully, the rest of 10K Volts is better than the song. I thought Spaceman was a major step backward from Space Invader.
Nice
9:59 woooooooooow that was TERRIBLE!
He's solid as fuck compared to the last show! He's showing the youngsters how it's done! Up the ACES!
