RIP Ace.
Russ Ballard will surely miss him, but he may get a bump in his royalties cheque... Ace covered his tune “New York Groove” on a solo album and it’s likely made Russ a lot of money.
Me and my buddies used to rock out in my folks basement listening to KISS... Awesome band.
I’ve been a rock and metal fan my entire life. Kiss never did “it” for me but Ace had a loyal fan base and he found a way to make a living playing guitar.
RIP dude.
All that being said. KISS had some simple music that brings back a lot of good memories memories. I’ve heard Gene and Paul are total pricks.
I was living in a Navy Barracks on Adak... there was no escape... enormous stereos, lotsa Kiss
