Thank you again for posting the one from Osaka. I was there. This was the fourth chance for me to see Ace playing on the stage. The first one was in 1993, the second in 1997 and the third in 2001. This time I found Ace IS as Ace as he used to be. Toast !
Ace sounds so much better with Gene's band than he did with his own, it's not even a comparison really. I can't say I disagree with him firing his band and hiring Gene's.
Yeah, I just compared this version to one from last autumn, I couldn't even get through that one: the tempo changed drastically during the chorus, and the guitarist definitely looks like someone who hasn't played professionally since the 80s. I guess Ace was nice and hired his buddy rather than a pro, but it was embarrassing. And those guys were more expensive than this band, holy shit!
They both used this band in Australia, and were scheduled to do so in Japan but Gene had to back out, So Ace just kept them. Ace Just hired them to be his full time backup band, by the way.
@@lMrFresno559l It's not about friendships, it's about doing the right thing for him and his fans. This new lineup has only had a few dates together and they're already a fit and band than he had.
@@strtngfrsh "right thing for him and his fans" lol. You mean the right thing for his checkbook and ego right? He is getting these guys cheaper and they are yes men that will stand back. There has a more fun energy with Richie. They were seasoned musicians.

Ace Frehley is still THE ACE in my book, and the band has become the A Team of rock and roll, lately!

Nope, Ace fired his band and hired these dudes. So much for 30 year friendships. lol
