@@TheBerndude It's not only because of substances. Vocal abilities are also genetically predisposed. When Maria Callas (La Primadonna Assoluta) lost her voice it was also because of a genetic disease. She died at the age of 53.
He sings within his range, and hasn't abused his voice too much. Paul absolutely went for it,.and at the time was amazing. But didn't do him any favours
@@andyg3there were many years Paul’s voice was awesome, but like you said with age that really takes its toll. Gene voice isn’t the same as it was in the early days, but it’s still great and has probably been the same since Revenge.
What else is Thayer gonna do? Everything he's ever done from Black and Blue to Kiss has been because of Gene. Tommy is a talented guitarist, but so is the homeless guy on the streets of Nashville.
Brent Woods and Brian Tichy are bad mofo’s. Gene hit a home run getting those two in his band. I saw Brent at Eddie Trunks event in Vegas and he can play anything. I wish he would join my band. Lol. Good stuff fellas.
I have distinct memories of walking the streets in Greenwich Village with Tichy in 92, 93, 94 after rehearsal, whatever... and we'd be discussing KISS, Sabbath, Yngwie, GnR... he ended up gigging with almost everyone (living) that we talked about! Ozzy, Slash... Michael Schenker. He earned it, though. X factor, secret sauce, determination...
Funny how Gene and Ace have a taste for the same musicians. Gene's former stage band became Ace's band. On the other hand , Ace used to play with Tichy and now the drummer is in Gene's band
Tommy Thayer has kind of a Joe Perry look to him... loved Black & Blue first albums, they were really excellent, both melodic and powerful. They started to lose their way once Simmons produced them (lol). But the real thing would be to see this song feat. Ace on lead guitar.... which should happen in the future since Gene and Ace have remained pretty close and Gene is probably Ace's biggest fan. Btw, for those who still don't know it, this is an early Kiss Frehley composition.
Tommy saved Kiss by pretending to be Ace? There's a million guitar players out there than can do exactly what Tommy did. 20 plus years with Kiss and didn't write a single song worth mentioning.

REally lost respect for Simmons during the Covid thing, when he was so "Pro Vax". Sortof against his previous stance on being "Pro Freedom" etc., VERY Hypocritical.
Too bad it wasn't the End of The Road for Gene ever performing again. I started hating Kiss when Peter & Ace left the band. Peter was THE BEST SINGER , Ace was the best musician who should've had more say in the band. ( After Ace's Kiss solo album, I knew it was time for him leave the group anyway. ) Paul the poser & Gene the egotistical idiot destroyed a band that could've been the best. ( selling dolls , toys , & trinkets , ISN'T ROCK AND ROLL !!! ) Kiss were NEVER the Greatest, they only had a great show. " Alive " is the only album I can listen to & of course Ace's Kiss solo album .
Genes voice has never wavered over the years. Rock solid.
Never drank, smoke, or did drugs.

Cause he doesn't sing.... He forces his own natural voice which is easy for him to do.
Those old Kiss songs never get old.
Based on this performance, I'd say Gene deserves all the respect he's ever deserved.
Gene sounds great !!
thanks Ace for writing this song that we've played since the 1870's..........
I am sure Ace enjoys royalty checks.
Thanks Ace for playing songs Paul and Gene wrote instead of your crappy solo work
@@paulcarlin5181 does he still get one now that KISS sold out?
@@terryanthony5323 His crappy solo album blew theres away in sales
Damn, 1870's, did not know the band was that old already. :P
Gene still has it.
He doesn’t have to go out and play, yet he does and sounds better than all the other members at 74. Good on him!
Maybe there's a chance for Ace & Peter to join Gene. Imagine the money bags if that happens.
Ace can’t remember how to play , practice, or be sober enough . He’s Not even close to Genes standards now.
Instant fail.
Band sounds killer! I'd rather see Gene like this!
Keep Thayer off stage and I’d agree.
No backing tracks it’s straight raw playing not needing any of pauls down tuning because he cant sing anymore
Kiss should have just replaced paul and went on an unmasked tour.
I've been listening to The Soundboard disc, from Des Moines 1977. Can't help but wonder how he can still sing?! Some people were just born to do it...
His voice is in great shape!
He sings within his range, and hasn't abused his voice too much. Paul absolutely went for it,.and at the time was amazing. But didn't do him any favours
It's not hard when kiss shows are full of backing Tracks
Kiss alive 2 I grew up in Bettendorf Iowa, 🎉

Wow, that didn't take long, Gene and Tommy back together.

tommy grew up in protland and he was there doing a product launch of is wine.
The Demon and the fake Spaceman back together...not long after he end of the farewell End of the Road tour nice to see them back together.
@@Martin-es8mb Gene needed his boots shined

Brent was impressive last night for sure. Great band!

I'd say this is the best band Gene has been playing in.
@@thor7564 They ARE TIGHT.
Surprised 🙀 that Gene's Band sounds this good... Congratulations to Them... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶
thanks for sharing
Awesome that Gene will play a Ace toon 👍✌️
Gene sounds amazing! Wow.
Amazing !!!
Tommy Thayer is a class act! 😎🎸
Stunning performance with a band glorious !
Nice of R&B to sell a seat right behind a pillar.
For the record, Gene, being over 70, can still sing and hit the high notes. I'm impressed.
Thanks Ace Frehley ❤️🎼🎸
Love it
Thanks to the real KISS guitarist for writing this tune!!
Best Comment
❤Tommy thayer und Eric singer Im schlagzeug
Heaviest KISS song ever.💥
Awesome Billy!!
Woody bones on guitar! One of favs!
Great 😘
Love ya Tommy!
🤘😎🔥
Sounds great. Prefer Tommy without the make-up.
I think Black 'N Blue are back together too.😊
@@jeffhodge7272OMG!!! Are you serious? Said no one ever.
@@giraffesareselfish9563 not true.
he was there. becasue he grew up in protland and doing a product launch of is wine.
which you get at Rock & Brews .
@@kauzpayne2 what are you talking about, what isn't true?
❤
Thanks Ace!
Brent!!!
Gene's taking 90percent of what they get paid I'm sure and splits up the rest with the rest of the band
Ironic that Gene has the strongest voice of all Kiss members at the moment. Great version of this Kiss Klassic!
Genes a workaholic
Asylum tour 86
Anyone buying t tickets for the main floor is a sucker. Have fun looking around or at hordes of cell phones thrust on the air.
It’s so irritating.
Funny how Gene and Ace have a taste for the same musicians. Gene's former stage band became Ace's band. On the other hand , Ace used to play with Tichy and now the drummer is in Gene's band
Gene loves more to Tommy than Ace XD
Gene looks to be at the top of his game, despite his age, he's razor sharp and so tight. Now look up Ace Frehley band, the complete opposite. Tragic.
That shirt is coutry not rock...and is one of only 3 he ALWAYS wears.
Tommy needs to learn the correct lead

So….can we stop saying 'Gene is only about money' now? He goes on a club tour right after the last Kiss show. There is no money to earn on this.
Tommy coming up to play an Ace song is priceless. Love it. Tommy saved Kiss.
Tommy saved Kiss by pretending to be Ace? There's a million guitar players out there than can do exactly what Tommy did. 20 plus years with Kiss and didn't write a single song worth mentioning.
Get over it. Ace and Peter preferred drugs to rock and roll.
Paul & Gene prefer money to rock & roll.
He’s got a lanyard
Ace freshly need gene and Paul to play good!!😮 or better members!!
Genes a foot shorter in this band .
They sound a lot better than Ace, lol
NOT!
They don't need the makeup or pyro....GET BACK on the ROAD!!!
Wish Tommy thayer would go away
He's a better person than you.
He might go away eventually, but his head of hair will live on forever.
I feel the same way about Acetards. On the other hand, I love seeing them cry
@@Wasteoftime10even the hair is a copy of Ace.

Are you OK?
@@giraffesareselfish9563... Possibly the guy is autistic?
But I agree with you that he doesn't type comments that make any sense.
Gene Simmons is playing night clubs now? I guess his arena days are long gone. A man should know when to retire.
So did Gene Simmons who got all nicely Vaxxed and Boostered still arrogantly trashing Un-Vaccinated Kiss fans???
That's so 2021.
Time to move on.
Very nice. Doing an Ace song. Tommy, the copycat Thayer
Go away already.
REally lost respect for Simmons during the Covid thing, when he was so "Pro Vax". Sortof against his previous stance on being "Pro Freedom" etc., VERY Hypocritical.
All employers had to be Pro Vax. And to fire employees who refuse Vax. (Depends on in which country you live).
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no was referring to his personal views.
Good god arent you two sick of each other yet?
Too bad it wasn't the End of The Road for Gene ever performing again.
I started hating Kiss when Peter & Ace left the band.
Peter was THE BEST SINGER , Ace was the best musician who should've had more say in the band.

Kiss were NEVER the Greatest, they only had a great show.
" Alive " is the only album I can listen to & of course
Ace's Kiss solo album .
