Gene and Paul created that band. It's their baby. The Shiite they went through to get a record deal is all them. No Gene/Paul, no concept of KISS. And personally, their music was at such at a High-school level they could have picked any guitarist to fill Ace's shoes. But once you have a fan base you are stuck with who you have.

When this took place, Ace had already quit the band. Paul and Gene knew already. They asked Ace to be part of the promotion for the creatures album until they got a replacement. Plus, Kiss' contract with Polygram records was only with Paul, Gene and Ace. If any one of them quit or was fired, they were in breach of their recording deal. They didnt want the label to know for as long as possible that Ace quit. So as you can imagine, Ace didnt really care about giving a meaningful interview at this point. Paul and Gene had to deal with it and be nice or Ace would just get up and walk away. So now you have the added context behind this time of their career.

@@gmail4218 Like many have said about Paul and Gene, their egos and lack of respect for the people that made them who they became was a nightmare to deal with. Ace may have been drinking but it was probably the only way he could tolerate the two 24/7 10 months a year. Try living with two control freaks for 10 years and see how you do better. Also, Paul and Gene have talked crap about Eric and Bill Accoin and the owner of Casablanca records and on and on. I honeslty think those two dont know how to apprececiate what others have done for them. And lastly, Ace gave them their logo, the foundation for the make idea they all copied. The idea of silver and black costums. The smoking guitar (which is iconic) and Ace recorded the best Kiss solo album. Not bad for a 'knuckle head' as Gene calls him. Paul couldnt even think up a make design, Ace did it for him. So lets give credit where its due. Ace almost single handedly created the Kiss image.

I think he quit caring about what Paul and Gene thought some time between Rock & Roll Over and Love Gun. By this point he had to stay loaded 24-7 just to cope with the absurdity of it all. In the 70’s their schtick worked and they were making bank. However by this time, in the early 80’s, they were washed up and seen by most as a joke. The “we’re just four clowns in makeup” line is indicative of how Ace felt about things.

at this time KISS was its lowest point since their bar days on long island. which was quite a fall from grace. Ace was only contractually obligated (they literally begged him to do so and he agreed) to do the Creatures promo tour stuff. But ACE at this point did not GAF about KISS nor did they about him (other than keeping up the image that it was still 3 original members for sales purposes) Gene and Paul actively sabotaged KISS since 1978. Dynasty, Unmasked and The Elder for better or worse show how bad KISS is with Gene and Paul completely in charge. Ace wanted and was pushing for a heavier record after dynasty, and instead they put out Unmasked. still Ace wanted a return to roots album , and they put out The Elder. Gene and Paul are as much to blame for the demise of KISS as Ace and Peter's drug habits.

The Elder was actually a very good album though

@LadyFairChildVideo 5 ай бұрын

i agree, i love the elder. but it came after two very bad albums (when compared to their earlier success and quality) the elder would've been good if the Dynasty/Unmasked sound really got them multiplatinum sales. they were trying to imitate Styx and Foreigner at that point from 79-82 the "danger" of songs like deuce, god of thunder, love gun was totally gone by this point. @@eslwgpg1226

Ace was only in the band at this point for contractual and promotional purposes. His replacement had just recorded the album. Why they took this route is a mystery but Kiss were already on the road to mass deception and lies with Dynasty and Unmasked. I doubt Gene played on half the tracks either from 81 to 98. They were just poster boys for hired gun studio musicians by this point.

It was 1982/83....Van Halen, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, The Scorpions, Motley Crue, RATT and others were all beginning to dominate the US Charts. Kiss was running from a few past career moves: the solo albums, the tv movie, and the disco hit I Was Made For Lovin' You. Creatures Of The Night is still a good hard rock album, but it was largely ignored by record buyers at the time

@nunyabidness4220 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, Creatures of the Night gave them a little booster shot that kept them on the hard rock radar for a few more months, but it was life support. I mean, obviously the band continued a long time afterward, but they were never the same band, or even the same KIND of band. They started to become a novelty/nostalgia act rather than a vital, important band pretty early. Oh, and when it comes to bad career moves, don't forget The Elder. As a kid I thought I would NEVER hate KISS. But, wow, I sure did after that album. Creatures of the Night gave me a little hope for a comeback, but then with Lick It Up they were back to crap. I can't remember if I even bought Animalize, but I for sure never bought a KISS album after that.

This kind of analysis is a bit unfair. Animalize and Lick It Up were big albums and the band still had a strong following. They weren't doing a nostalgia act since they ditched the make-up. I prefer 70s kiss all the way, but I wouldn't say the band was absent after Creatures. They were still big on the scene until the late 1980s.@@nunyabidness4220

@spaceace1006 5 ай бұрын

This is an interview from the "Creatures of the Night" period! It was a poorly kept secret that Ace did not at all participate in the recording sessions. Although Ace, for all wants and purposes had already left KISS, he still appeared in interviews and at least 2 or 3 videos for the Album! The fact that Eve's image was on the COTN cover was a clear attempt to hide his departure. Of course, for the few shows that KISS played stateside, many fans were shocked and astonished to see a new face on stage! Many fans didn't like it at all.while many other fans were just blown away by the sheer talent of the "New Guy". Unfortunately, much like Ace, Vinnie had some serious attitude problems! If only..if only Vinnie would have checked his ego a bit and accept his position, if only.. If that had been me, sure, I'd be pissed about only getting a $50K salary and having to stay in a few flea-bag hotels but being on stage as a member of KISS would have been more important to me! Of course, in 1982, 1983..a 50K salary was no.small potatoes!

Ace knows this whole thing with Kiss was a Joke the whole time. They werent the rock band he knows he should have been in having to play Mr.Dress up and be serious at the same time. This was purely a venture for children and kids to spend their parents money...they were a cartoon selling albums with toy guns and cartoons of themselves inside the packaging. They stopped being a rock band when they got a record deal finally and succumbed to the business. It was all smoke and mirrors and Ace quite frankly wanted more than being an action figure on a shelf in a box he wanted to be a rock musician. Not a toy, he was actually the most sane person in this band and thats what makes him look insane to those who dont get it. ❤❤❤❤❤
