Yeah, tough ending. RIP. They wrote and played a couple of great rock songs and meant the world to their fanbase.

One of my best friends in high school and his Brother were huge Kiss fans. Spent a lot of time in their house jamming out to these guys. Great memories. RIP Ace.

I’m not a KISS fan by any means. But, I once had a practicum student named Beth who didn’t do a damn thing. A co-worker used to come into my office and sing, “Beth what do you do”. She was oblivious.

Frehley was reportedly worth $1 million when he died

Frehley was reportedly worth $1 million when he died

I would have thought much, much more.

I was surprised too. I can’t imagine being worth 100s of mil and letting one of my band mates struggle.

in high school kin mid 70s there were 2 music camps. The die hard Kiss fanatics and the die hard anti kiss crowd. That was generally the Dead, CSNY, ABB, Clapton crowd. So people would graffiti all over the school the Kiss logo in the stylized font they used and other people would come along and add "sucks" to it. KISS turns into KISSUCKS. Ah being a teenager in the 70s

Gene and Paul made all the money.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Yup

 

[Catch1lion]

Yup

Ace had only a used M2

I am always amazed that groups become that polarizing. If you like them great if you don't like them don't listen.

I like them. They entertained. Not everyone has to be Dylan pretending to be so relevant and evolved.

 

[Nitt1300]

Never cared for them, but they apparently gave it their all on stage- have to respect that.

2 big shows manana

Ace finally stopped at Third and 43, and exited to the night. RIP. The man had a giant career and impact on music.

 

[Midnighter]

Man. That sucks. RIP. Feels like my generation of bands is getting closer to these regular announcements. R&B singer D’Angelo died earlier this week as well - only 51. Thanks for the memories fellas.
