Ace posted this today on Facebook. Seemed like they were getting along finally. 

Quote

    …Gene, your memory is really incorrect!…I was NEVER FIRED from KISS, I quit twice (not 3-times) of my own free will, because you and Paul are control freaks, untrustworthy and were too difficult to work with!

    …Your slanderous remarks about my bad habits over the years has cost me millions of dollars and now that I’m over 12-years sober you're still saying I can’t be trusted to play a whole nights show! Well that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the last 12-years with different configurations of “The Ace Frehley Band” to you and Paul’s dismay!

    …I’m also the most successful solo artist to come out of the original KISS lineup , and proud of it!…You and Paul have tried to derail my solo career multiple times over the years unsuccessfully.

    …I’ve tried to be nice and friendly by inviting you and Paul  to perform on my past albums for eOne Music, give each of you guys one of my prized Gibson Les Paul 59’ models, but today’s comments have made me realize you’re just an ####### and a sex addict who’s being sued by multiple Women, and you’re just trying to sweep it all under the carpet!

    …The icing on the cake was when you groped my wife and propositioned her in Los Angeles at the Capitol Records building behind my back, when I was trying to help you out at one of your “Vault Experiences” which I only found out about several weeks later…she was planning on pursuing a suit against you, but I told her to call it off!!!

    …Well now the gloves are off after your terrible comments today and I’m thinking that this really may be “The End Of The Road Tour” for you guys!!!

    ….Without a complete and heartfelt apology, an offer to give me my old job back, and removing Tommy from the Throne that I created… THE S**T WILL HIT THE FAN AND THEY’LL BE NO STOPPING IT-IT’S ON!!!

Just my opinion, but I've always regarded KISS as being one of the most overrated bands ever.  I often wonder if they didn't have their stage show, would they be any where near as famous based on their music alone?

Probably not. But to their credit, they openly admit that. As far as actual talent goes though, Ace is the real deal. They're a good band if you listen to full albums, but they also knew how to write/sing songs that would be commercially successful.

They absolutely suck.

 

When they are dead and those who remember them are dead, no one will be listening to their music.

My thoughts:

 

  • This is completely fabricated, likely by Gene, to generate interest in another reunion.
  • People who say that the original KISS lineup sucked have a right to their opinion; people who say they had no talent don't know what they're talking about.
  • Great songwriters?  No.  But they are all decent at their respective instruments; especially Gene and Ace.
  • KISS has been about making money from day one.  As Wicked Lester, they weren't making it.  Gene Simmons is as much of a genius as he is an a-hole.
  • My opinion is that their last good album was Love Gun (78) ... MAYBE Dynasty (79).  But once the original lineup broke up - I think their music has sucked.
  • My childhood dream came true in 1998 when the original lineup went on tour and I was able to see them.  I'm happy with once and wouldn't pay more than $20 to see them again - and I wouldn't go to a non-original lineup KISS show unless it was free.

After saying all that, why would he want his "old job back?"

 

Lol

 

Stupid

 

I think it's all fake.  And he'd want his old job back because he'd go from playing casinos with his band to playing arenas with KISS.  Gotta pay the beels!

Agree with every point here, except Dynasty kinda sucked. Lol. There's a local KISS tribute I've seen a handful of times, and they're just as good. Makeup, stage show, pyrotechnics. Of course that last part depends on the venue.

I was "this" close to cutting it off at Love Gun!
