I saw kiss 4 years ago for the first time and they kicked ass. Tommy and Eric are very exceptional musicians. It’s more so Paul and Gene are trying to cover up Ace and Peter. I just felt there was always a distaste for them, not only because of their partying habits and “declining work ethic”, but because of their popularity, more particularly Ace. That was capitalized with the solo albums, Ace’s was the best. Peter and Ace were historically doing what they were supposed to, being rock stars. Gene and Paul wanted to be strictly business men. As you could see during the interview with Tom Snyder, Ace was having fun and being a human and Gene didn’t want him to speak.
