Gene blowin' off steam, Ace is wasted, Doc "Last one...dogs and cats livin' together as one." You can feel the tension. These guys were glad to be parting ways.
Myself and a friend attended a Savoy Brown concert at a local movie theater, the Paramount in Portland Oregon, in 1973. We were twelve years old. The line to get in was around the block. And here comes three guys in leather jackets with KISS written on the back. The band name was on the tickets but we were to young to put it together and everybody was like "who are these guys and why do they get to go in first?". Hahahaha, Life. Pointless to say our young minds were blown away. And back then when they were young, all over the stage with their antics, and trying to make it, they corrupted us, they hit us standing still. we were not even ready for that. That's all we talked about for days.
I am fine if you believe that personally, but lets be clear KISS today is KISS. Just like KISS in 1992 was KISS. KISS in 1987 was KISS. KISS in 1982 was KISS. Your comment isn’t going to change a single person’s mind on their belief. Especially because you actually made zero effort to support your statement.
@@MichaelBrandvoldExactly. Not everyone joined the Army in the 70's. Everyone has their different moment in time where they got on board. Original Kiss was mind-blowing, absolutely unbelievable what they brought to the people but every line-up since has a rightful place in Kisstory including Tommy and Eric who have done a stellar job keeping the wheels turning, not sure why anyone thinks any different
This is great, thanks for sharing Michael! Ironic that we see Tommy there too, and we know what happens after this point. I remember being so disappointed when it was announced that Peter was out for the Australian leg of the tour, as we already had tickets at that point in time… but those Australian shows with Eric Singer on the drums were amazing. Tweaks to the setlist and the medley in the encores were something a bit unique and special. Doc’s comments are telling and it doesn’t feel like a happy vibe at all!
I loved the band in 77 because......Peter`s drumming was like a "battleship firing guns"...Aces playing was like a "fighter jet going over head"...Paul sang songs closer to the album without adding too many unnecessary high pitch side notes...and Gene kept his "oohh yeahs" to a minimum while singing...I wish Gene had done a blu ray concert of Alive 2. Too much camera on Gene and Paul and we never get to see Ace`s guitar work during the leads or Peter`s drumming..(see Led Zep)
I read years ago, that Ace chose to go last as he never wanted to be the first one to get onstage. He stated, he had stage fright. And going on after the guys is what helped him to keep on going. Had nothing to do with the reaction from the crowd. This is documented in images from the beginning as well.
I agree ! Ace is the crowd pleaser! Maybe at the start of their rise he had stage fright but he has stated that he felt comfortable playing big arenas.notice Gene pushes Peter in front for the same reason!
That may be what fueled their substance abuse that affected their performance? I can see that after 40yrs some of the decisions have been purely business. Whether they played music or manufactured widgets, customers or consumer purchasing decisions could have been affected if they had allowed the name of KISS become a laughing stock! They battled mainstream Rock & Roll managers as well as those just record producers who have the power to make or break an act!! No difference for Actors & Executive Producers & Director’s! The people with the $$$ & ability to pay the BIG BILLS it takes in the beginning to finance album production PLUS the Concert Tour (venues, sound & light & pyrotechnic professionals, ETC ETC) I see the Personality driven group as they matured. Four young men that began a band & had to learn to make adult decisions once they found a hint of success. The Beatles couldn’t stay together 40yrs. Creative differences & huge egos/ personalities took over then the Attorneys & Managers made sense of the “Real Property” which was Talent (John, Paul, George & Ringo) , then they moved onto music created & performed, then came the merchandise $$$ above & beyond records, and that is JUST the BEGINNING of the fun that happens once 4 young men are having fun making music then the Public become Fans & oh the joys of Corporate Attorneys & the REALLY GOOD ones get paid to START at $200hr... Next time your listening to a Successful Band think about all of these things? It’s not just Paul or Gene lining THEIR pockets. Believe me!! I have always liked more Contemporary Adult music. I began to explore this group who for years I COULDN’T STAND! I watched videos & YES I think Ace was talented but you have to FACE a LOT of personal demons when you find success... or those things you FEAR THE MOST will break you & drive you into a puddle on the floor in a fetal position crying out!?! So alcohol & drugs... wine, women & songs can take you to places SO LOW that you NEVER knew they existed!! ...now all I am asking if the haters that are gonna hate will just kindly step away from their device & just Let It Be... The Truth that is...
I saw Kiss in Calif middle 70's at the Long Beach Auditorium they where second billing I cant remember to who I saw so many concerts back then .I went out next day bought there album . The last time I saw them it was I think 76' or 77' at Anaheim Stadium home of the C. Angels .I sat on the infield grass and the band was set up in centerfield. By then they where one of the hottest bands around.
I am a completely loyal Ace follower, i have every ounce of respect for him and i am totally in love with the man (i am not gay).. i don't agree with Paul and Gene's decision about the make-up issue but at the same time, I will give Tommy a lot of respect because he is a fantastic musician and performer....this is why i really want him to have his own character because then he would have the full respect he deserves. instead of people only looking at the make-up.
It's very worth noting that a couple of times Ace and Paul pass each other and don't talk or even look at each other, and mostly keep their distance from each other even when walking to the stage.

@@sylvainbinette4192 of course. What I meant was the real Kiss is with Ace and Peter not the newer guys. I’ve been a super kiss army fan since the 70s but don’t care for anything post Ace and Peter.
Saw them on 78 or so Spfld MA. Going next week to see them in Hartford! (Well Paul and Gene) Been a long time! Great memories of the 20’s with KISS. Hope its a good show.
el fraseo de los solos de Ace son únicos. La banda va en 4/4 y Ace cambia de 12/8 a 6/8 estira las notas...no hay pirotecnia, es la intensión de la melodía la que es asombrosa. Un estilo único que la ha hecho subvalorado respecto de la velocidad y pirotecnia de otros.
The same beef that split the original four to begin with is what split them again during the reunion. It's got nothing to do with Eric and Tommy. Eric and Tommy are cool people from what I've seen through interviews and such. Plus, they are still big fans of Peter and Ace. Ace has even approved of Tommy's playing.
End of an era. I saw them the week before in Chicago. KISS will never be the same. I just hope when they do play their last show, Ace and Peter are there with them on stage and they play their asses off one more time for the fans. To do anything else would be a huge injustice to the longtime fans of KISS.
Amen brother you said it. KISS is PAUL-GENE-ACE & PETER though if I had to see KISS without a orig.member then the only exception is Eric THE FOX Carr who was not only a great person and drummer but his own make up kicked ass too. I am a diehard Ace fan so you UA-camRS don't even mention Vinnie to me
What a bunch of junk! People who says KISS never made real music I guess never bothered to listen to their music. Its damn good! Look I love Van Halen,theyre my favorite band. Very different from Kiss but both still make the same type of great music, Ace and Eddie,Paul,Gene,Dave and Sammy,its all good! Respect these bands cause they won't be arounf forever. \m/
I saw them perform on the Farewell-Tour in Oberhausen, Germany in 2000. I had a perfect view almost directly above the stage. My favorite member, Ace Frehley, was so wasted I was afraid he'd fall off the stage. Made me real sad. After that I decided never to attend a KISS concert again.
Did you read? Do you know any KISS history? Ace and Peter SOLD their makeup to G&P. You might not like that, but it is true. Ace took money for his legacy, for his history… again that is selling out. Don’t get pissed at me for something Ace did.
It's absolutely mind boggling to me that it was a HUGE deal in 1995 when the announced this, that it would be the first time that they shared the stage together in 13 years.....and THAT was almost 30 years ago now. Crazy!
@orriblebob You got that right. All the rest of the comments arguing over whether Tommy is better/worse than Ace, haven't even considered that KISS is bigger than the members of the band. KISS is about the characters. The Demon and Starchild will eventually have different people under the costumes and makeup too.
1:00 and on. He's the short haired guy with the black sweater ( with white collar ) I'm sure KISS fans know that Tommy and Ace were friends. Tommy was a tech and when Ace rejoined KISS, Tommy helped Ace rehearse all of his old parts that he hadn't played in years..
@liltookie1727: No, it was definitely Ace first. Peter took a brief hiatus after a contract dispute but returned. Ace quit during the farewell tour because it kept going with no end in sight and he didn't want to continue anymore for the reasons I previously stated. When the tour finally ended, Peter's contract expired and wasn't renewed.
Doc McGee quotes “Dogs and Cats” living together as one ......so sad! You can just see the sadness and the madness as they are walking. 4 grown men that all need each other, but because of greed, abuse and other unmentioned issues they all lose! Then there is Tommy Thayer just waiting like a vampire to take Ace’s spot so he can become a Spaceman’s fake Frehley!
Michael Brandvold winning is not settling for 2nd best! It’s a brotherhood. There is two sides of each story, than the truth! Honestly, most of it probably had to do with money, and that lead into numbing nerves for Ace and probably Peter. Not a good reason to do so, but everyone is different.
Ace is so talented. A self taught guitarist and one of the best. Peter is not as bad of a drummer as a few press have made him out to be. Gene and Paul the business. When they were in sync, it was magic. The only KISS is these 4. Anything else is fuckin generic!
Ace's last performance with Kiss was on February 24, 2002, during the closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Tommy Thayer stepped in and Peter continued to play with KISS on the Aerosmith/KISS tour in 2003. Peter left Kiss again in March 2004 after Paul and Gene opted not to renew his contract following the Rocksimus Maximus Tour. Peter did not play well on that last tour.
Very fucking weird except for the part where Paul inspires the little boy, yet still weird, but to me it was like some crazy sci fi movie and Kiss was being walked to their execution.
Bands usually organize from friendships or partnerships, not "4-way marriages", unless you're ABBA or the Mamas and the Papas. KISS got along for a few years after the reunion tour, which is why I make my simple comparison to this tour. Simply put: The Reunion Tour - fun to see the guys enjoying each other's company again; The Farewell tour - sad and disappointing that in their mid 50's/early 60's they can't stop behaving like control freaks with each other.
Respect to you! Nice to acknowledge something that you can never change! (I think that is what you are doing.....not agreeing or accepting but acknowledging) It's good to have opinions even when they are wrong! Have a great life
Agreed. I'm used to seeing footage of them all in the big boots so Peter is closer to their heights. I realize he's also the shortest member so without the boots on he really looks short. Peter is one of the reasons I started playing drums.
Saw kiss at Madison square garden....in 96. they blew the roof off....it was fun and a great show
Ziggy Lothbrook yes reunion and circus at Madison square garden
I saw them at MSG back in 1977, was my very first concert and I loved it!
And KISS was never the same ever again....
of course never agin...they are better with eric and tommy
couldn't agree more, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley made KISS Eric and tommy are good but will never be great.
@@belfastbusfan Tommy is simply boring. Mechanical
@@whataboutrob442 Well, he was one of the best.
No one cooler than Ace. Never saw them again after they changed the lineup.
Gene blowin' off steam, Ace is wasted, Doc "Last one...dogs and cats livin' together as one." You can feel the tension. These guys were glad to be parting ways.
Ace at 0.24 would not pass a sobriety test.
I felt drunk watching the camera behind him
I knew the girl who hooked him up w drugs ,just terrible
Doc got that from Bill Murray's character in Ghostbusters
I meet ace in a bronx basement before kiss he played in a band called honey in the bronx.he is a great player.
you lucky man
you lucky dog.
You are lucky !!!
Lucky man!!!

Very cool story, thanks for sharing. If you don't mind I am going to share that in a upcoming episode of Three Sides of the Coin.

Took my daughter to this one, her first and only concert!!! she was 13!!!
Does it mean that she is not with you anymore? So sorry if it is the case :,-(
the action is with ace
Doc McGee's words "dogs and cats living together as one" at 1:10 sounds there were definitely problems within the band at this point.
This is great, thanks for sharing Michael! Ironic that we see Tommy there too, and we know what happens after this point.

The four of them together had a certain magic. Now, it's gone. Eric and Tommy are good musicians but they are not Kiss. You can't create chemistry.
That’s a perfect way to put it.
whattt ehhhh verrrr
Lol the only magic these guys had together was tension
Most overrated band in history.
@@retrovi4128 that would be Metallica
0:09 Ace walks up to either his wife or girlfriend making sure she’s okay and I have to say Ace is an amazing and sweet person.
I heard that was his daughter
Swe-
Ace is the only one with real hair. LOL!
Rob Morgan and Peter but he does dye it black because of his natural light hair he has
peters is real its just dyed
Ace and Peter got on Propecia
Me and my little brother used to call and request the radio station to play "rock and roll all night" back in 75 when it came out.
Notice the Manager saying " Dogs and Cats living together? " So true in this case.
Beautiful hair Ace ✨ ❤️

I like your pfp
I heard that gene and Paul re edited everything to feature them instead of ace and peter.
1:09 Doc McGhee saying "last one, dogs and cats living together"
Probably his way of telling them to get along.
I love how they set it up for Ace to be the last one to enter the stage as he was likely to get the biggest applause.
I read years ago, that Ace chose to go last as he never wanted to be the first one to get onstage.
He stated, he had stage fright.
And going on after the guys is what helped him to keep on going.

Saw them in 1997 Australia saddest part the original line up has only toured here once

I love them no matter who was in the band.
Ace you are the man! Thanks for standing your ground and never selling out.
LMAO, he sold out the moment he valued money more than his makeup and sold his legacy to G&P… that is the very definition of selling out.

Yes, that is.

i miss the old line up, i hope they do another reunion tour
Peter can't play double kik
sad that i came here just now, in the year that they are in their last tour
just if my dad introduced they to me when i was younger... :(
I agree with that!

it was Eric Singer who played the drums at the olympics gig.

Simply put: The Reunion Tour - fun to see the guys enjoying each other's company again; The Farewell tour - sad and disappointing that in their mid 50's/early 60's they can't stop behaving like control freaks with each other.
Respect to you!
Nice to acknowledge something that you can never change! (I think that is what you are doing.....not agreeing or accepting but acknowledging) It's good to have opinions even when they are wrong!
Have a great life
Agreed. I'm used to seeing footage of them all in the big boots so Peter is closer to their heights. I realize he's also the shortest member so without the boots on he really looks short. Peter is one of the reasons I started playing drums.
well spotted !!!
