Hey, that's so cool! I've never even been to NY (I'm from Finland) but ever since I got into Ace (and KISS but it all happened because of Ace and he comes first, always) I have also become very interested in The Bronx and its history as in his book he talks a lot about his time there as a young kid growing up. I love how he mentions Poe Park in his chat with Don Lane, haha. I know Ace grew up on the corner of E201 and Marion Av. Just in case you haven't seen it, there is actually a great old documentary on KZfaq about a block and its community which is located very near to your and Ace's neighborhood in Bedford Park, around E194th st and Briggs Av. The doc is called Our Block and it's from the early 80s. Look it up if you are interested! For once footage on TV about The Bronx that's NOT about the South Bronx... =)

I live in Gene's old neighborhood in Jackson Heights, Queens. Moved here in 1974 just as KISS were taking off. I went to the same high school and junior high school as he did but about a decade later. Had a friend whose older sister claimed she graduated with him in 1968. Our high school library had a collection of yearbooks from each year of the school's existence and I remember picking out the 1968 edition to see if Gene was in it and sure enough, there he was (as Gene Klein) in all his repulsive glory lol. This was about 1979, before his unmasking, so it was definitely NOT what I expected to see lol. The photo is now online for anyone who hasn't already seen it.

Gene was so thin..... Hotness!! Good seeing you again Ace.... Missing you in the band - Kiss is not the same without you hun!!

I think Don noticed that Gene was trying to steal Asus Thunder. That's when he said was you trying to get the girl's number and the girl was like 5 years old. Sarcasm at its best.

i can't get over how crisp and clear the picture is on this...i mean, i know it's only 1980 but it doesn't look like the clip has aged much...

Gene straight up pulls/shoves Ace out of the way at 4:33 and Ace just goes along with it. Wonder if that happened often?

Ace and the host experience the very trippy event of discovering that they went to the same high school in the Bronx although they are in Australia, and Gene reacts by drawing attention to himself.

Ace and Gene doing an interview together is rare, but Paul went to see his girlfriend who was filming a movie or something so all they had left was Ace, since Eric was new and no one really knew who he was yet.

JENDALL714 Umm, actually no, Ace and Gene did many interviews together. I've rarely seen Paul and Gene being interviewed together (meaning, only them) during the makeup years. Ace and Gene did the Robert Klein show in '77, which also had the late Robin Williams as a guest. They also were the only ones taking part in the Australian 60 Minutes TV program in 1980. There's also a radio interview here on KZfaq from spring '79 with A&G, done around the time Dynasty was released. "All they had left was Ace" sounds pretty rude, Ace was a very popular member in KISS, certainly in '79/'80. This interview for one would not have been nearly as convivial with Paul there instead of Ace, he was the life of the party.

To the Aussie fans who actually watched this at the time. I was blown away. They were not promoted for this massively popular show at that time. At school the next day, some kids were miffed.

Great vid. Enjoyed both Ace and Gene. Ace was a funny drunk and Gene went off character for this guy. Thnx whoever posted!

Gene shook the hosts hand as Ace was shaking his hand! What on Earth! So disrespectful, you can see it on Ace's face. Gene really has nothing to say, he just sticks his tongue out. He's Foreign to being even American. (My 2 Cents)

+Bjorn Erikkson its a business to gene, its a dream come true to Ace. one loves money, the other loves music. notice that no sooner that Ace strikes up something interesting with the host, gene has to go get some attention and take it away from Ace. very funny that they both went to the same high school though.

I remember watching this as a 5yo kid in Melbourne. This was typical Ace and Gene. Ace genuine and affable. Gene playing the part of rock God and schmoozing the audience. Shame KISS have cancelled their farewell tour here. We'll never see them again now.

4:26 "Alright steal the show, go ahead". I love that Ace just wanted to have a chat with Don, and just happened to find out that they went to the same school! Say what you will about his work ethic, or anything else...he was REAL!

Just went and watched them three weeks ago with my 18 year old daughter who happens to love them. My profile pic is from that concert and she did the make up. They haven't lost a beat although Ace and Peter is no longer with them.
