RIP.
I have several of Ace's albums and a lot of Kiss too.
-
Ace was always the coolest
-
That sucks, I almost always feel bad when someone dies from a simple accident like a fall. It reminds you how fragile everything can be.
RIP.

Fn sucks
RIP

Saw Kiss in concert at Tiger Stadium in 95 or 96. Alice in Chains was the opening act. The following weekend went to a Smashing Pumpkins concert. Billy Corgan said he'd try to play as well as "Ace Frehley and his smoking guitar"
Back in the New York Grove has always been on my gym playlist.
PIP.

With his lifestyle 74 actually is surpisingly old.
Frehley has really messed up his life. His addiction was more important to him than being a member of insanely succesful KISS. His behavior forced the other members to kick him out. A bit similar to Randy Meisner, another tragic story of self destruction.

There are these jackets that have build-in "airbags". Whenever a fall is detected at certain angles, the airbag deploys and minimises the impact.
The problem is getting older people to wear them...

Had a great run. Probably lived 30 years longer than expected. RIP
-
RIP SPACEMAN!
ACE WAS THE TRUE ROCKSTAR!
MY FAVORITE IN KISS

Wow! Not my genre of music but they were a HUGE band when I was in middle school and high school. Many of my friends LOVED them… saw them in concert… and talked about them endlessly. That’s how I came to know about KISS. At one point they were so popular they had KISS action figures and I think they even had a cartoon about them. They certainly made their mark! May he rest in peace.

Yeah, I loved them as a kid before I was even listening to music.

Yes. They were somewhat known more for their marketing and appearance rather than their talent. Aside from the action figures (I think my brother had Paul Stanley and I had Gene Simmons, the were ridiculously muscular. LOL), and cartoon, they had a made for TV Halloween special it was Kiss and the Haunted Amusement Park or something like that. IIRC the ending relied on Ace Frehley using some kind of cosmic power to move s jail cell key through the air into the cell so they could use it to escape and expose the mystery.

They were "influencers" before that was even a thing! So many kids in my schools were Kiss fans. I can recall them coming to school the day after a KISS concert wearing the swag they had purchased there; usually a T shirt or a hat. At Halloween people dressed up as their favorite Kiss member. Gene Simmons seemed to have the highest profile of the group (was it the tongue?). Because they were always covered in make up, for years I never knew what they really looked like or how old they were. Maybe that was the point. 8)
-
They had a comic book too.
-
I read somewhere Paul Stanley liked cock
-
This was pretty good -
.
Great cartoon villain laugh, and it annoyed Gene, which is always a plus.

OMG! I think you are right! They certainly had a good public relations team! For 10 seconds they were everywhere!
It's sad but I'm more interested in Ace and KISS right now than I am in the Mr. O. ::)

My father took me and my brother to a Kiss concert when I was about 6. We left after half the set, it was so loud :D Never got into them after that, liked other heavy metal more, like Maiden.

Ace played guiter on this track and did backing vocals:

Bodybuilding related.

I’m not an expert on the band, but I seem to recall that at one point one of the members left and was replaced with someone who wore different make up/mask. Does this sound familiar? I never knew that guy’s name but I could always name the four members from my childhood: GS, AF, PS, & PC. Who was that fifth member… or am I totally confused about this?
-
Gene and Ace fought a lot on creative differences, and also Ace's addictions and challenges in fame and fortune with the band. Even when he came back, they still were 'tolerant' of each other. RIP Ace...

Ace was replaced with Vinnie Vincent (Ankh Warrior), Peter Criss was replaced with Eric Carr (The Fox). Those were the only "new" characters after the original four "Starchild, Demon, Spaceman/Space Ace and Catman".
For the modern lineup, Eric Singer became Catman and Tommy Thayer became the Spaceman (used the same makeup)
But there is only ONE Spaceman in my opinion, and that is, was and always will be ACE!
-
Ace's guitar solos were about as subtle as a baseball bat up the side of your head and were about as memorable. Noone had a better time being who they were than Ace.

Yes. The Fox! That is who I was vaguely remembering. It's a testament to their impact that this band would have a footprint in my head back then and even now considering that I was totally unfamiliar with their music and could not name one of their songs. Their over the top costumes... hair... make up... and boots made them impossible to ignore. Albums, concerts, action figures, comics, cartoons, tattoos... Long live KISS! 8)

Yeah, it was more than a mere band back in the 70s and 80s. They had actionfigures, comics, merch, tats, posters etc, even a movie "Phantom of the Park", I HAD IT ON VHS! :D
ACE thought the Movie was "Campy", but Gene hated it.

In the 80's when KISS dropped the face paint I wished they kept it on. Those guys were 4 of the ugliest fuckers on the planet. I wondered if they started wearing it at the beginning for that very reason.

Haha yes, we never thought or could even imagine they were looking like that under the paint in the 80s.... :D
HILARIOUS
Gene putting the shorter Eric Carr (who could have been their younger son) out of the picture several times while poor Eric tries to keep up and Vinnie looks like their daughter
Oh and regarding Vinnie Vincent, i think he transitioned a few years ago, looking like an old italian auntie
