Ace Frehley SLAMS Kiss's Gene Simmons + Paul Stanley 

Does Ace Frehley's bold claim that his new album will 'embarrass' Kiss make you more eager to listen to it, or do you think it's just another chapter in their long-standing feud?

Forget about Kiss , Ace"s new album is fantastic top to bottom !

Whatever Paul and Gene say, Ace was (and will always be) an essential part of kiss, their success and their sound. Great guitar player with a unique style. I,m glad for Ace and his album. Lead guitar!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸

Ace's new album sounds great! How's Kiss's new record sound? Oh, yeah. They haven't done one in over 10 years........They haven't done a good one in over 30 years 😊

Even though I've always been a fan of KISS I got tired of the back and forth stuff. Ace had his demons and he finally dealt with it which is a very hard thing to do. He seems to be happy and is continuing on doing what he loves to do. His new album is the best thing that's come out in a long time for any rock and roll band. I applaud him for that. But in terms of the EOTR tour they should have had him and Peter come do something. KISS always said they do it for the fans but hey guys the fans wanted these guys there! They failed and because of that I didn't make any effort to see them. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The comments from Paul about Ace not being able to perform are laughable - Paul's voice was shot a decade ago and he resorts to using pre recorded vocals live - that is the biggest sin in rock and roll .. I will always love the Starchild, Spaceman, Cat and Demon - KISS is far and away my favorite band, however, Paul Stanley is closer to Joy Behar these days than the icon we knew in the 1970s ... Say whatever you want about Ace, but he's continually putting out albums and playing his songs live .. It may not be perfect, but perfection has no place in rock and roll ..

Regardless of what people tell you about ace's new album, I rate it as KICK-ASS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would be cool if Peter Chris did some stuff with Ace. That would be absolutely ACE! 😎✅ My 2 favourite Ace Frehley songs... Torpedo Girl & Two Sides Of The Coin. 😎✅

Paul Stanley is such a ungrateful person if Ace would not have joined them they would have been singing folk songs in wicked Lester Ace guitar playing is what made kiss so great

I believe that Ace, unlike Paul, has dealt with his demons today and strives only for the best. His last album was amazing and very strong. No matter what anyone says, I believe in Ace and believe that no matter what his past was, he truly makes music for the people. For those who loved classic rock now and then, from time to time adding something of his own to it, and sometimes innovations

Just skip the old bull and just U N I T E. It's a perfect time to do it now, and in the "final" Kiss performance we were SOOOO many that missed both Ace and Peter. But . (And that is a big BUT) There is still a chanse to make the world's greatest and best Rock performance of the Century. A reunion with real KISS 2.0 Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter, and that cold be Beefed up with Tommy and Eric. And split the cash 50/50 between all members. Show the world what Rock n Roll is! Friendship and peace, not war. Kiss army want the best- give us the Best one more time. PLEASE!

He owned the fact that he was an alcoholic and was always late so he cannot hold his mates factual statements against them. He needs to own his actions... that said Im in his shoes (without the fame) and I too am trying to own my past while controlling my future. Much love to Ace, I pray for you, please pray for me ✌️💙🤘

I hope this record does really well for Ace. Hell, I think he should had released around the same week Kiss was "Retiring". I could not think of a better middle finger back at the band.

I think Paul and gene should feel a shamed for saying ace is a drug adduct he is 17 years sober.

Yeah I guess the only song Ace wrote on the new record was Back into my arms which was an old demo from the 80's according to Steve Brown who made this new Ace record. He said 95% of the songs were ideas that Steve wrote and came up with. Ace contributed some solo's and sings all of the songs but it sounds like it's basically a Steve Brown record featuring Ace Frehley. It's an Ace album because it has his name on it. Don't get me wrong, I have been a die hard Kiss/Ace fan since I was 6. I'm 52 now. I have been listening to Ace since 1977. I've seen Ace live 4 times. 89, 94, 96 at MSG with Kiss and also on the PC tour. I've been a Ace fan for a long time and he's always been the best Kiss guitarist for me. I also like Bruce K too. Anyway, I am a fan but I also don't drink the Ace Kool aid. I liked 10,000 volts, Fighting for life, and Stratosphere. Most of the record is Steve IMO.

And his knew album is great and he backed up everything he said and the two albums kiss put out with Tommy Thayer stunk

IMO: Paul & Gene have the 'green eyed monster' syndrome. Ace is a fantastic player with an 'approachable personality'.....shows how humble & down to earth he is & his humor was lost on the two that think far too highly of themselves.

"Since leaving the band Frehley has always made it a point to fire as many shots at his former band as possible" No he hasn't. Gene and Paul were the ones always throwing insults at Ace and Peter the whole time . Ace barely said anything. Where do you people get this stuff ?

I realize most of you will squeal in horror, but this is how Kiss might have become way bigger and become more of an iconic mainstay to this day. Their main problem was Paul and Gene took themselves WAY too seriously. Kiss is a brand, and after the 70's Paul and Gene just consistently took that brand in the wrong direction. Had they done some of the following I don't doubt we'd have an animated Marvel Kiss series on Netflix even today. A: Give the characters names, don't use real names, and allow change in personnel to adopt the characters. Gene should have been "Demon", Ace "Spaceman" etc. Then when Peter Criss left the band, another drummer should have come in and used the cat make-up etc. B: Admit their target market was kids. Have just a tiny bit, even 1% of humor about the whole thing (Ace Freheley actually got this). They were at their height when they had comics and that cheesy movie etc. They were always more Tiger Beat than Cream. During the 80's instead of becoming less Kiss-like and trying to go grunge, they should have gone MORE cartoony and more iconic, more power-glam-pop. Had they done this, I bet you'd now have pictures of Kurt Cobain wearing a Kiss t-shirt. D: Don't chase other trends, instead, become MORE Kiss-like. They should have really gone a little more musically in the direction of The Sweet, who similarly wanted to be a heavy rock band but battled with management who made them more heavy rock glam pop, and were the much better for it. They kept trying to be something they weren't but all their egos just got in the way. They were always desperate, chasing. I realize "I was made for loving you" was a hit, but who listens to it now? Making a disco record was just pissing all over the brand at the time. E: NEVER TAKE OFF THE MAKEUP.

video is from today but says album is coming out later. did you film this 2 weeks ago and just upload it?

I think the both of them r awesome

I always thought aces solo stuff was better.im 52 and untill i was 20 i thought kiss was a comic.this new album is cool

I can only listen to Rock Now if I speed up the video to 1.25X --am I the only one?

They ALL talk shite!

I'm on Aces side he's been sober for years now and his record output in the last few years out does Kiss

10000 Volts is a GREAT Album!

Paul and Gene have always been about the money

Ace did not hurt Kiss, if it wasn't for him, there would not have been Kiss.

Ace is correct. Gene and Paul are businessmen. Not rockstars. Have been for many years. After creatures kiss just wasn't....just wasn't.

Cmon Ace. Get over it. You sold your image like a dunce, losing all kinds of money. Your records dont sell well. Just admit you were drug addled and messed up. Sure Paul and Gene are critical. But you dropped the ball. They didnt.

That I have been a long time kiss fan sents 1975 . Me and my brother have fights and such and now we don't fight any more that I would love to see the first 4 and get back together an that is the real kiss so with the others members that it was good and I am sad about the others members for passing that they all ways be a part in my life an that was sad times so have a osem. Band with gean Peter and ace an Paul that is very young an osem an you know each other an so you have the best band in the world . An amazing four people are so very amazing absolutely 😊

But was Paul right in saying what he did about Ace and calling the band Piss? After watching recent shows in 2024 of Ace, I dunno. Was Paul on to something? And......I like Ace, have his new CD of which I like also. Just sayin!!!!

I'm tired of hearing about this. Someone, anyone needs to take the high road and ignore the other party. Only when the back and forth ends will the digs stop generating enough interest to keep these people "relevant ". At least Ace is playing and singing live.

Brah this ain't exactly a newsflash. We all know there's bad blood.

Oh please. I will take Sonic Boom and Monster over 10,000 Turds anyday

If I had a dime for everytime Ace badmouths his former bandmates I would Warren Buffet and Jeff Bezos in the poor house.

Now I'm sorry these hacks won't leave it be ace just wants to rock solo he did it before kiss anyway he's part of the blues Magoo's family

Ace is a low life that got lucky by meeting Paul and Gene. No his new album doesn't even come close to embarrassing Kiss. That is laughable

Ace was already on records before joining 'KISS" Before Ace & Peter met G&P they were "Wicked Lester" kool name but the music sucked!!

Both have big egos but Paul Stanley really is a piece of work , I can't stand the guy. He's always slagging off ex members for the sake of a headline. I've always loved Ace but I'm very disappointed with his new album , just too poppy and commercial sounding for my liking.

I used to listen to kiss when I was like 1516 years old I stopped by in their music after rock ‘n’ roll over I started listening to other bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest AC/DC. It seems they’re always arguing with one another even in retirement get a life move on with your life.

Fight fire with fire

I can't stand Gene Simmons. Ace has always seemed a cool guy

Its not bashing your former band when you just repeat what they said about you. Get out of here

Im tired of listening to Aces attempt to reinvent his solo album from 1978! Time and again! I think the new album is just another attempt in doing just that. Im tired of hearing the same old riffs, the same old sound and the same old space lyrics. In comparison with Mick Mars soloalbum, released on the sam date, Ace:s album diminishes! It's Ace that should be embarrassed of his lack of imagination, rather than KISS. Hell, even Soul Stations is better!

Ace "Junkie" Frehley has something to say in 2024 ? His new album doesn't embarass Kiss at all, it's just embarassing for Rock'n'roll

Ace was the original lineup and vinnie saved there asses after Vinnie all there music sucked they never give credit were credit is due its always about them the last show was despicable nothing extra for the fans at all and charged people to watch it on pay per view it was one big commercial for there C.G.I. shows disgusting

I wish all this stupid fighting would stop already. Just enjoy the gifted a let them play.

Stanley and Simmons are swej

Ace should just go away. We're all tired of him. Just sayin

Ace Frehley is a GOD among men just like President Trump! Trump 2024! Trump 4EVA!!!

Ace please, your playing has diminish and your new album is not as good as you think. Be thankful if you sell 100,000 which I highly doubt.

What's wrong with your VOICE

Why? This is the horseshit that makes me dislike this band & its members

Ace Frehley needs to grow up.

Poor Ace. What a loser.
