Frehley discussed his instinctive guitar playing style and mused about Thayer’s future now that Kiss has officially concluded their farewell tour. “I’ve never had a guitar lesson. I was born with a certain technique that many people, namely Tommy Thayer, can’t duplicate,” he said. “And with Tommy, yeah … that’s over now. It’s back to the breadline for him!”

quote:

“Paul and Gene have tried to destroy my reputation over the years — we know that. And unfortunately for them, 10,000 Volts is going to make them look like imbeciles,” Frehley declared.

“Kiss hasn’t put out a record since 2012 [Monster], and here I am, 17 years sober, and it’s my sixth record since leaving Kiss,” he continued. “I keep chugging along, and nobody can stop me. Creating amazing music is the best way to combat someone putting you down. That’s how I shut them up.”

All Tommy has to do is show Ace this video and the mic drops the other way.

Gene and Paul are the enemy here, not Thayer. No reason to be an arse to him.

Ace has always been my favorite Kiss member.

Peter
Gene
Paul

in that order.

I don't even count the others

Outside of KISS Gene Simmons is an arse hole. He stayed at a resort I was working at in Scottsdale back in the early 90's. Arrogant jerk

If you believe what Paul Stanley wrote in his book, Ace has always resented Tommy simply because Tommy was hired to fill in for Ace when he was drunk, high, or just too lazy to perform. Allegedly Tommy is also the reason Ace refused to appear at their RNR Hall of Fame induction.

The funniest part of KISS with Peter and Ace is that history repeated itself with the reunion makeup tour in the 90s almost within the exact timeframe as the original incarnation and breakup happened. First 4 or 5 years were great then Peter sort of left then Ace then a few back and forths and then both gone for good, just like the early 80s.

Ace will always be my favorite member of the band but none of them are able to be professional when it comes to getting along long term.

Oops - the performance was nixed allegedly because Ace didn't want to share the stage with Tommy.

I’m trying to think of a song where it’s not overdone? Too much crunch that any guitar could pull off.

Any good clean guitar kiss songs? With a little reverb or a little overdrive.

Hard Luck Woman? Is it ALL a 12 string? I can’t remember?

Ace has always been one of my favorites as well. Saw them a couple years back and it just wasn't the same

KISS was never scheduled to play the HOF. Contracts prevented the original four from playing. Plus the HOF swallowed a bitter pill inducting them after years of backlash from the music industry. They refused to induct the other former members with the original four.

Paul, Gene, Tommy and Eric did play after the HOF under the Brooklyn Bridge.
