Okay, all. So ive basically been forced to remove Tommy hate comments because it was pissing me off. So, heres my response if youre about to comment something hateful: 1: “Hes not the spaceman!!!” Yes he is. He wore the makeup. He went on stage. He played guitar for KISS. He was there when no one else was. 2: “Hes not good at guitar” Okay? And thats your opinion. You can have your opinion all you want. But being rude about it isnt going to help. I think hes a good guitarist, so thats what matters here, considering this is MY video. 3: “Ace Frehley copycat!” Look, i know Ace Frehley is your god almighty or whatever, im here to say that idgaf. Paul and Gene preferred the original makeup designs, as its how KISS started. Ace and Peter sold their makeup designs WILLINGLY,so clearly, they didnt care as much as the fans do. Look, let me put it this way. Ace quit. What were they supposed to do? Not replace him? You can prefer Ace or Vinnie or Bruce or Mark all you want, i dont care. But this video isnt about them. If youre here to spread meaningless hate, go somewhere else. This video is dedicated to Tommy Thayer, and i made it because he doesnt get as much love as he deserves. 4: “Black N Blue was a low quality band, and Tommy Thayer came and ruined KISS” Ummm okay? I like Black N Blue, but if you dont, thats your opinion, and in the end, I dont care one ding diggity darn BIT about your opinion. Tommy Thayer did nothing wrong. Go cry about it. I dont care if you dislike Tommy, I dont care if you dislike Black N Blue or KISS, i dont care if you prefer any other guitarist. But keep your opinions in your head. Didnt yall ever go to 1st grade? If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. Its that easy. Damn, some of yall are horrible. Not just to me or Tommy Thayer, but to each other. Be nicer. Were all here because we like KISS, right? Talk about that. And to think, some of you are GROWN ADULTS talking shit in the comments of a 14 year olds video. Theres a difference between disagreement and hatefulness. Stop being so shitty to one another. Grow up.
I noticed you said Tommy is a "good" guitarist...NOT great like Ace Frehley.. This is a public open forum... You put up the video you can expect to see good & bad comments ...You get out of 1st grade thinking you will ONLY see positive comments...what a dill.... He went on stage as a wannabe thinking people wouldn't notice the difference... They are ALL scabs in the current line up... Thank god we hope it really is the end...
@@jmilne5751 i dont care about your opinion. i think Tommy Thayer is a great guitarist, one of the best. but you dont have to think that. giving me shit isnt going to change my opinion. and i deleted the comments out of spite. youd be upset too if i was giving hate to something/someone you cared a lot about? but going out of your way to harass me, after reading the above comment? pathetic. and to go all deep into my wording like that?? umm sir/ma’am im 14💀
@@lipstickkiller798 Well that's your opinion & I have my opinion, but you seem to be childish & delete my comments... That shows how small you are and cannot handle the negatives..One of the best is the biggest load of crap I have EVER heard...But it seems it upsets you & makes you cry...HOW BOUT YOU DON'T POST VIDEOS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT!!!! WUSS...By the way there are millions of people who think the same as me
@@jmilne5751bro im 14 wtf😭💀💀Youre actively being a bully to me, and not caring. i told you you can gave your opinion, and that i didnt care. im allowed to be upset over things. but youre just being a terrible person all around. its so much easier and less time-wasting if you just left me alone??? this is so sad. like i genuinely am wondering wth is wrong with you to make you actively bully a minor online over a guitarist. its pathetic. go get a life, bozo.
Tommy always seems so genuine, down to earth, and just overall positive. he understands he's not what made kiss huge, and thats why all the hate he gets is unwarranted. it would be different if he was arrogant, and tried to act like he's one of the main factors. he doesn't have a massive ego, so I think he fits in perfect. he always seems to want what's best for the band and the fans. one of my favorites
He's what has made KISS great for many. Never a screw-up, so professional, does what's best for the band, so talented, longest lead of KISS well-earned!
Love this guy!! ❤️ I'm so proud to have met him in Munich this year to sign my (his) white Les Paul guitar. Told him "Tommy, you're my childhood hero!" - I received the sweetest “Aww, thank you!” that I have ever heard. 2 weeks later at the concert in Cologne he waved at me... God bless this man
This is the first video of this type dedicated to tommy, this made my day... Really. He was already tired of seeing something related to Tommy and only finding meaningless hatred towards him. Thank you very much for this, I really love him a lot, he is the cutest!!❤❤
God I love him 😭 I saw him Indianapolis and he waved at me and I waved him back and I wanted to pass out man I did not expect that he’s is the best love you Tommy ♥️
@@lipstickkiller798 That’s is so cool 😎 he’s is I hope I get to meet him one day he’s is a good soul 🥰 this was my first Kiss concert even Gene waved at me to it was the best night of my life and hell yeah 🙌🏼
@@lizxale legittt it was my first show too!! and last, sadly. but Tommy is the reason i started playing guitar and hes genuinely talented and passionate abou what he does.
@@lipstickkiller798 Hopefully they do something fun for the fans next year like a Kiss Kurise or meet and greet around the country that would be awesome I hate seeing comments when people hate on Tommy cuz he’s isn’t Ace it’s not his fault he doesn’t deserve all the hate neither does Eric they are super professional and stuck around with the band for a long time that is great keep at it the next Tommy Thayer ⚡️🤟🏻🖤 I swear to god I am going to invest my room into a Kiss room my sister is moving pretty soon and I get to decorate my room finally 😁
@@lizxale omg no chs fr…i think Tommy and Eric are very talented members of the band. And yeah, they wont be touring anymore or doing anything like that (sadly they just recently had their final show) but hopefully they can still sometimss do fun things :3
It really doesn't matter what people think about Tommy. It's my firm belief that Kiss wouldn't have made it out of the nineties without him. I understand people's feelings about Tommy and Eric wearing Ace and Peter's makeup but he genuinely earned his spot. He made Herculean efforts to get things done for Kiss, whether it was the kisstory book or helping Ace and Peter prepare for the reunion. Tommy kicks ass and deserves our gratitude.
Tommy grew up a KISS fan. he was in a KISS tribute band. he always seemed like he was genuinely happy to be in the band, and never seems overly full of himself. he always just seemed happy to be there and i think hes genuinely a good guitarist. so i appreciate your opinion a lot, i think he gets a lot of hate for seemingly no reason.
Man, this takes me back to ninth grade, when I was obsessing over this man. Glad to see someone else appreciating him like I do! He is so sweet and humble. Luckily I got to see KISS live three times and two times at the front, in Spaceman makeup of course! ;) Those geezers who are stuck in the past can go and fuck themselves. Pay them no mind, sweetie! Keep up the good work!
The hate that tommy get is horrible, he does an amazing job with the guitar, the band would've prob be over by now if not for him and Eric. Also people saying 'hes not the real spaceman' is just plain stupid
You should be ashamed to put that opening comment "Spacemans Best Moments" Tommy will NEVER be the Spaceman and this is why Tommy and Eric should've had their own characters like Vinny and Eric Carr did.
sayinf all hes trying to be is ace frehley is so unbelievably ignorant…he was hired to be the new spaceman and he did a great job. i get he didnt have as much creative freedom but seriously
@@SN-nh6pq actually i understand where your coming from, and im sorry if i came off as rude. i just care a lot about this band, and im sure you do too. but i dont think him “trying to be ace” is on him, i think its on paul & gene. they wanted it to feel like original nostalgic KISS but i think they did it in thr wrong way. does that mean i cant post a video appreciating mr thayer for everything hes done? no. tommy thayer is one of my all-time favorite guitarists, without him KISS wouldnt have made it to 2023, and i love his work in Black N Blue
He is a good guitarist but let's face it he got used by Paul Stanley he should have told Paul he wanted to create his own character instead of using aces persona but then again that is what Paul Stanley wanted Paul wanted everyone to think it was Ace Tommy Thayer did what he was told to do
i agree with your perspective to an extent. i wouldnt say he was “used”, i think that is a very strong word. but i would agree he probably didnt have much creative freedom. i dont think the issue for me is the persona, i dont mind tommy as the spaceman, the issue for me is probably how he was told to play just like ace,.. i dont blame paul or gene completely for this, i think i understand why they did what they did bc they wanted it to feel like nostalgic original KISS and i dont think theyre wrong for that. but i do think they could have gone about it in a different way. HOWEVER, i dont think that means i cant post a funny video appreciating tommy thayer for everything hes done
Yes but I think he should have told them that he didn't want to use aces make up an moves and I think he should have never tried to sing shock me but it kisstory now
@@user-rc1qq9pn7k even if he did tell gene & paul, they wanted him to use the makeup and he had to. i wouldnt blame tommy at all, he was just doing his job. i also never knew he sung Shock Me? but even then its just a song so i dont think it matters. in the end, KISS wouldnt have made it to 2023 without tommy and theres no denying that. you pointing out the same issue 100 others have pointed out here isnt helpful as i know what im doing as a KISS fan and i still think tommy needs more appreciation
