Sorry, Gene has never been a f****** good singer. He would probably tell you that himself but then again he's a little bit narcissistic so I'm not too sure about that
Got chills watching and hearing that...brought me right back to the 70's lol!! WAY better than what Kiss as a band sounds like nowadays. Gene sounding a playing great, and Ace still playing great. Now I'm gonna need to go and dig out my Alive album.
I think they do, and Ace's fun personality plays very well against Gene's serious side. I think that now a lot of the BS is behind them, they are good friends.
They seem to enjoy each other's company. As long as Ace is sober. But it's a long way from playing a few songs together, a few nights of the year, and be on tour together, for months.
Mmmm, nop... he sounded better in 1975... but yes, he is sounding way better than a couple of years before, and have more hair (?), and less weight.... maybe he can fit in de spaceman suit.... sorry Tommy, heheheheh
For the most part, Gene has mellowed over the years and is much more accepting of each former members character flaws. Paul on the other hand has to point them out in every interview. I think Gene realizes that the clock is ticking on life and he is trying to be a bit more inclusive with the former members.
man Gene has a pretty good thing going with this solo band. they sound fresh and seem to really be enjoying playing. gene looks happy as well.....great to see ace up there with him.
Never thought I'd see Ace and Gene on stage together again!! Much have been hard for Ace to do this, only because of Gene.. They both sounded Great!! Thanks for posting this.. 🤓🍻
Nice to see and hear Ace. But then again so many of you are clueless. I am SO HAPPY I was born at a time when I got to see KISS LIVE over the years since my 1st show in 1977. All of you who are saying how great this sounds, have no clue. Ace was doing his thing, many times thru this the band was lost. Gene pretty much knew where the tune was but even he got a bit lost.
Gene sounds great. He almost always fucks up the timing coming out of the break. Nearly every time I've seen them from the mid-70s to today. And it's still FN GREAT! Rock n RoLLLLLLLLL!!!
Fn' awesome! People have been saying Ace doesn't sound good on this... I'm like WTF are you talking about. He hasn't played this in about 17 years and rehearsal...Ace rehearsal?
Ed Spangenberg No rehearsal - Ace only played with them onstage in Adelaide and then this show - he said he was still trying to learn their names - this is Genes band and Ace did a set with them first, then came back for last 2 tracks of Genes set
Because Gene is smart. People want to see and hear Ace. People want to see and hear Ace and Gene play together. People don't want to hear Paul bitching about everyone who isn't Paul. Because Paul doesn't like any of Gene's or Ace's songs. Because Gene and Ace want to make money.
This was a show in St Paul MN. It was a charity show that Ace got wind of and asked to join in for this show. It raised money for children ravaged by hurricanes in the U.S. Not to shabby for last minute huh
I never knew how awesome Paul Stanley was as a rhythm guitarist... Heck, there's 3 guys playing Paul's part and it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as when Paul plays it. Sounds like Gene's bass lessons from Carol Kaye have paid off, he sounded pretty good.
Gene can’t play to save his fuckin life. Sid Vicious played better than Gene, and Sid didn’t know how to play. But, I’ll give Gene credit-he helped Van Halen
TheJhale1570 You can put Tommy in Aces makeup and outfit, but he can never replace the original often imitated but never duplicated Spaceman Ace Frehley Lead Guitar!
Lol, nostalgia and facts are two different things..to A.F. fans he can do no wrong and always sound amazing despite A.F. never playing the same lick on any song listen to all his improvisions. Bottom line is Tommy Thayer is what Ace was meant to be..But i admit A.F Genes cash cow for the moment...
So, here we have Gene and Ace on stage once more. Soon they'll be cursing each other in interviews and in their biographies, only to go on stage and perform again. Don't you just love KISS!
Simmons-Frehley tour with this band. GSB has been tearing it up this summer. Gene is genuinely inspired and in top form at 69 years old. Ace is in good form. Paul should go on and finish his days with Soul Station with Eric. Win/win.
That looks like the Band Gene's been using lately out of Nashville. They're huge there and that's why Gene uses them. Seen em in May 2018. Ace does sound better here than I've seen him in any video of late. My Theory is that Gene wants a full or at least partial reunion but he wants Ace in top form so he's been doing what he can for him to get there. I should add, I never knew Gene was so tall. I mean he always wore those platform boots with Kiss. In person he stands at least 6' 2" on his own. Can't really imagine that without him standing next to you. I'm 6' and he seem to tower over me.
The Don....give ya a clue.....mate it aint in the US.......SpaceAce given his heavy touring still had bad nights but shit he still weaves his musical magic, his vibrato is sublime...
stan broniszewski According to an interview I watched, Bruce said something around the line of, ‘As a business prospective, it would be a good idea. But, I’ve already had my years in KISS, and dressing up and acting exactly like Ace- or the Spaceman would be strange and kind of uncomfortable. Besides, I was already in Grand Funk Railroad.’ These aren’t his exact words, but this is what I remember from the interview.
ACE and Gene need to tour like Plant/ Page did!!! This is as close to a Kiss reunion you're gonna get!! SOUNDS GREAT! enough material between the both of them !!
These two helped each other conquer the world, and they still sound fucking great. Ace and Paul collaborated on Fire and Water, so what's the problem? KISS need Ace, Peter I don't know about, but it would be cool to see them together.
This is so better than current 'KISS' there's only ONE Ace, I love Vinnie Vincent because aswell as being an excellent guitarist he had his OWN make up as Eric Carr did bless him, REAL KISS is still around as proved here, I hate what they are now I really do : (
It's about time Gene started to play bass again like he used to and not prance around playing every now and again. I'm not a huge KISS fan but very impressed
I know, right? I've been noticing more and more of the old dinosaurs that wear them - Beck, Geezer Butler, Blackmore, etc. Never paid attention til recently. And like I'm the 2018 Rock and Roll HOF ALL the Cars but two wore wigs lol
This is THE song that made me want to play guitar. Thank you Ace Frehley 🙏
agreed!! but not make me want to play guitar but made me want to be a better guitarist
a guitarist just like ace in general
Ace and Gene are still alive and rockin, I'm very grateful!! 😎👍
angryheb1 well yes theyre still alive I'll grant you that.
Gene's voice hasn't aged a bit. Sounds great.
Paul on the other hand...
Gene’s voice always been my favorite. Sure, Paul could sing pretty high in the 80’s.
you kidding, right?
Sorry, Gene has never been a f****** good singer. He would probably tell you that himself but then again he's a little bit narcissistic so I'm not too sure about that
And for the record I am a kiss fan long long time kiss fan
Good to see Gene acknowledging ACE the MIGHTY guitar GOD !!!!! We love you ACE ! Sounds great 💥💖🎸🤘
Gene is 69 and still rocks! Glad to see Ace and Gene together again!
Got chills watching and hearing that...brought me right back to the 70's lol!! WAY better than what Kiss as a band sounds like nowadays. Gene sounding a playing great, and Ace still playing great. Now I'm gonna need to go and dig out my Alive album.
Nice to see them jamming together, life is short, find peace and rock on!
ACE Frehley still ROCKS!!!
Gene sounds great compared to Paul. I never ever thought I would say that
So correct...Gene sounds great
That's still not really saying much though. LOL!
E Renn no kidding!
I was just gonna say. Everyone but Paul still sounds awesome. Karma gets you sooner or later. Paul isnt a nice person.
The night before this Gene did a stab at paul saying "excuse me, 69 and lost my voice" haha.
Mr. Frehley & and mr. Simmons seem like they bring the best out in one another!
I think they do, and Ace's fun personality plays very well against Gene's serious side. I think that now a lot of the BS is behind them, they are good friends.
@@JokersWild70 could the rift between them be just a publicity stunt to keep KISS alive ???
Paul and Gene like Ace now that he had a top ten album.
They seem to enjoy each other's company. As long as Ace is sober. But it's a long way from playing a few songs together, a few nights of the year, and be on tour together, for months.
Ace’s solo from this song, off of ‘Alive!’ is the ultimate!
My GOD! Ace’s licks have never sounded better. Yes! Sobriety Rocks!!!
Mmmm, nop... he sounded better in 1975... but yes, he is sounding way better than a couple of years before, and have more hair (?), and less weight.... maybe he can fit in de spaceman suit.... sorry Tommy, heheheheh
Ace was never a technical player but I think that’s why I always liked him sort of random jamming just carefree
Yes Ace has been reborn
You idiots act like 1975 was last month... FORTY THREE YEARS.
13/F/KAYLA Yeah...thanks for the wake up call but it's so true lol!!!
For the most part, Gene has mellowed over the years and is much more accepting of each former members character flaws. Paul on the other hand has to point them out in every interview. I think Gene realizes that the clock is ticking on life and he is trying to be a bit more inclusive with the former members.
This was actually one of their best jams ever--complete with guitar, bass, and drum solos!
I love Ace's outfits-he always wears something really cool-like a velvet jacket, leather pants, cool boots with lots of bling-always a ⭐ STAR!
This is great, hope they play together in the US.
Ace, incredible band, so is Gene's. This stuff has REVIVED the Kiss fans... my opinion...LOVE IT!
man Gene has a pretty good thing going with this solo band. they sound fresh and seem to really be enjoying playing. gene looks happy as well.....great to see ace up there with him.
Ace Frehley...enough said!
Gene sure is playing alot with Ace. They sound awesome. Would love to see them one more time together. Gene voice plus Ace sound is it
Awesome Genes very proud of Ace as are all the ole fans
One of my Favorits of KISS !!!
Let me go Rock and Roll........
Great ACE Solo 's !
Never thought I'd see Ace and Gene on stage together again!! Much have been hard for Ace to do this, only because of Gene.. They both sounded Great!! Thanks for posting this.. 🤓🍻
this is so heart warming! love these guys!
Ace we love you
Ace is mighty and way underrated for studio records
There is NO replacement for Ace!!!!!!!!
Wow sound great, gene brings out the best in ace, hes on
ITs good to see them play together again
Why does it sound so much better when Ace is playing
Cause Ace is the man!
Are you kidding? Ace sounds like s**t! Its the backing band.
@@whataboutrob442 Ahh, yes, that must be it, I like the "s**t" sounds Ace makes, sounds better to me :)
Demon and Spaceman on stage!!.-brings back memories of the two in facepaint rocking and rolling and kicking some rock and roll ass!!.
Gene can hang still plays and sings on point!!! ACE what else is there ta say... BEAST
Almost felt like 1975 for a moment
Yeah. Close your eyes, you're listening to KISS Alive. This actually sounds more KISS than what passes for today's KISS.
I commented almost the same thing above!!
Not at all.
Then your tax bill arrived and killed the illusion forever.
I went to the show in Sydney. Awesome show.
I remember every note. Those old KISS songs are embedded. Ace, Gene, Peter and Paul. The only KISS.
But we must face reality Paul and Peter can't do it anymore, meanwhile Ace and Gene are in great shape
@jocrpnter dont disrespect my Eric Carr like this
No disrespect
We wanted the BEST and we got the BEST...A.C.E.
Ace's long improvised solo.... you deserve it buddy...
Hell yeah I'm digging this! It does my heart good!
Nice to see and hear Ace. But then again so many of you are clueless.
I am SO HAPPY I was born at a time when I got to see KISS LIVE over the years since my 1st show in 1977.
All of you who are saying how great this sounds, have no clue.
Ace was doing his thing, many times thru this the band was lost.
Gene pretty much knew where the tune was but even he got a bit lost.
It's only Rock N Roll and it's Kiss. You want Liberace - he's dead.
Technically the backing band is playing with as many original KISS members as the current band tours with. This is basically a KISS concert
Gene seems to be enjoying himself touring with Ace than with kiss tribute now!!
Gene sounds great. He almost always fucks up the timing coming out of the break. Nearly every time I've seen them from the mid-70s to today.
And it's still FN GREAT!
Rock n RoLLLLLLLLL!!!
I noticed that too
Go Ace Been a long time!
Love seeing Ace and Gene together like that, sounds great!
Fn' awesome! People have been saying Ace doesn't sound good on this... I'm like WTF are you talking about. He hasn't played this in about 17 years and rehearsal...Ace rehearsal?
Ed Spangenberg No rehearsal - Ace only played with them onstage in Adelaide and then this show - he said he was still trying to learn their names - this is Genes band and Ace did a set with them first, then came back for last 2 tracks of Genes set
Killer stuff! Love it all!
PS you're footage is great and the sound is not blown out. What's your set up?
Ed Spangenberg was just on iPhone X
Ed Spangenberg sounds just like he did last time he was with KISS to me, maybe better
Why is Gene touring with Ace ? Wow sounds like the real KISS
Because Gene couldn't sell tickets for his solo tour. Tour was postponed from February.
Because Gene is smart. People want to see and hear Ace.
People want to see and hear Ace and Gene play together.
People don't want to hear Paul bitching about everyone who isn't Paul.
Because Paul doesn't like any of Gene's or Ace's songs.
Because Gene and Ace want to make money.
@@fortj3 best comment yet
This was a show in St Paul MN. It was a charity show that Ace got wind of and asked to join in for this show. It raised money for children ravaged by hurricanes in the U.S. Not to shabby for last minute huh
The real sound of KISS
Turn Ace up in the mix, please!
Love you Ace..The only Spaceman. The Legend. Loved ya back then and still Love ya. Shock Me!
I never knew how awesome Paul Stanley was as a rhythm guitarist... Heck, there's 3 guys playing Paul's part and it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as when Paul plays it.
Sounds like Gene's bass lessons from Carol Kaye have paid off, he sounded pretty good.
Paul Simmons. Bass humiliation is more like it. He wasn't a slouch but she made him look like one
I agree, it's the same with the drummer, he ain't no Peter Criss
Hoogla Boogla 🎯🎯🎯
Gene can’t play to save his fuckin life. Sid Vicious played better than Gene, and Sid didn’t know how to play. But, I’ll give Gene credit-he helped Van Halen
Ace rules!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Ace wrote the most memorable licks of the entire KISS catalogue.
Time to get the real Ace back in kiss
If they wanted him he would be there......
lovin' that jacket Ace
Tommy Thayer can only dream of coming up with leads this great. Ace Frehley lead guitar!
Tommy couldn't replace the strings on Ace's red sneaker and orange sneaker.
Thetripletman60 it just sounds right, can't be imitated
TheJhale1570 You can put Tommy in Aces makeup and outfit, but he can never replace the original often imitated but never duplicated Spaceman Ace Frehley Lead Guitar!
Glad someone said it
Lol, nostalgia and facts are two different things..to A.F. fans he can do no wrong and always sound amazing despite A.F. never playing the same lick on any song listen to all his improvisions. Bottom line is Tommy Thayer is what Ace was meant to be..But i admit A.F Genes cash cow for the moment...
Brought back memories of the Love Gun Tour when the band had all four members on stage rocking the stage!!.
these guys are good together.. no bullshit.. Just real deal stuff.. 👍🎸👌😎
Its cool to see them having fun instead of bashing each other.
So, here we have Gene and Ace on stage once more. Soon they'll be cursing each other in interviews and in their biographies, only to go on stage and perform again. Don't you just love KISS!
If there was half a penny to be made Gene would play with his worst enemy.
You were so right, brother...
Great to see them playing again! Would have loved to been there.
This is AWESOME!!!

Florida
Is there a Melbourne in Florida? I don't think so
Actually, there is. On the east coast near Cocoa Beach.
LOL! JIM MORRISON was born in MELBOURNE!
Love Ace
Ace stiles kills it
i was there on the other side of the stage- thanks for this!
Ace Frehley & Bruce Kulick > Every other KISS guitarist.
Goddamn I love Ace, glad he's still rock n rollin
ace and vinnie
ace and vinnie.
stan broniszewski According to an interview I watched, Bruce said something around the line of, ‘As a business prospective, it would be a good idea.

I liked mark st John. Too bad his hands got messed up.
@@Diamonddee426 not the real reason they fired mark
Thx 4 posting! Good stuff!!!
ACE and Gene need to tour like Plant/ Page did!!! This is as close to a Kiss reunion you're gonna get!! SOUNDS GREAT! enough material between the both of them !!
Great to see Ace & Gene on stage!
Best from the Late Night with Johnny P Show
These two helped each other conquer the world, and they still sound fucking great.
Ace and Paul collaborated on Fire and Water, so what's the problem?
KISS need Ace, Peter I don't know about, but it would be cool to see them together.
Their stage presence is amazing. If u don't know who's in KISS, with the 5 people out front, u can sense who is the rock stars!!
Ace is a legend!
Ace ❤️Always my favorite !!! Gene finally sees the fans love Ace & best guitarist💯❤️🎊🎸🎶🎶🎹🎼🎤
Ace rocks!! My lord.....!
god bless gene and ace
Thanks!
Thanks for the vid
This is so better than current 'KISS' there's only ONE Ace, I love Vinnie Vincent because aswell as being an excellent guitarist he had his OWN make up as Eric Carr did bless him, REAL KISS is still around as proved here, I hate what they are now I really do : (
Shame they couldnt get along..this is pretty awesome them playing together again!
Great to see them playing together and having fun......
It's about time Gene started to play bass again like he used to and not prance around playing every now and again. I'm not a huge KISS fan but very impressed
Awesome!
Ace cant remember most of the song... just improvising as they go... hahahaha... that´s great!!
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
AND OOOO WEEE FUN!!!!!
Go Ace Go!! 🤘😎🤘
its nice to see them play together
Deep down under the bluster , Gene is a good guy .

The band was awesome in Brisbane - Top Job Boys !!!!
Fun times great guitars !! Ace is ace must be fun most bass I be seen from Gene
Yep, pretty much my favorite song from Alive. Still rocks.
2:49 Go for it Ace😎
Hell ya!!! This was cool as hell!! Mother Metal
WHERE WAS THIS? I didn't even KNOW he was here. WASN'T advertised!!!! 2 days ago!
DMSProduktions Festival Hall
Thanks! HOW did you hear about it? I heard/saw nothing! I knew Gene was coming at some stage but not when!
Make that Gibby scream space man!
KISS had some songs that were great to play in concert. I love other bands but KISS is just special when they are live.
Nice wigs
Ace's wig doesn't work for him. Not good. Too obvious.
I was gonna say that! ;)
Just as bad as Marky Ramone’s wig 😂
Paul have been using it since early 90s
I know, right? I've been noticing more and more of the old dinosaurs that wear them - Beck, Geezer Butler, Blackmore, etc. Never paid attention til recently. And like I'm the 2018 Rock and Roll HOF ALL the Cars but two wore wigs lol
They got go out on tour together again!
Gene!!!
this sounds awesome!!!
I’m telling you
When kiss is finally over
These 2 will go out again as gene knows!
He’s the best guitarist and loves him no matter what
Peroid!
GEM!
