People bitch about ACE Frehley's skills and then suck on Rick's bobo. He is bar band rythm guiartist level. Good song writer though. Pretty strange comparison. Nobody's calling Rick an all-time great or anything, they're just acknowledging him for what he is. Meanwhile, Ace is a legendary guitar he...

I tried looking and couldn't see which avenue to make the FOIA request. Which one did you use to find this? Inquiring minds want to know!

Start with looking yourself up on your County property tax site. Once you figure that out you can find anyone.

Sounds like the "bread line" comments weren't all that far off.

How were you able to find this info in the first place, then figure out his daughter holds the deed? Not saying you're a stalker but that's quite a bit of personal information to be blasting on the internet. Privacy is a hard thing to get these days I suppose... -Maalsa Who owns what and how much t...

At his age having it in his daughters name makes sure SHE gets it when he dies...not the state. Let's say ACE goes into long term care. When he dies his debts die with him. If HE still owned the house those debts would have to be made good by the estate before his family could get anything. That's ...

I say yes.

Anybody who wants to give 300 Mil to own my likeness can feel free to call me anytime.

A band's new CD = $0, I stream everything A band's Vinyl LP = no interest A Vinyl, with Color options and/or Gatefold = no interest A band's standard 2 color print T-shirt (ex: Red & White on Black) = $25 - $30 if I can get one that actually fits A band's 3-4 or 5 color, two-sided printed T-shir...

Does it really matter who is playing bass in anthrax??

I vote keep putting out material even if it is just 1 or 2 songs. I have a SPOTIFY comp that I made for myself called "NEW" and I take the new songs I like from my favorite bands and add them as they come out. That list is pretty damn good and fun to listen to.

Back in my trib days this happened all the time. I never understood. At every show someone would bring some memorabilia to sign. I always double and triple checked that they wanted ME to sign it. Especially if there were other "real" signatures on the item. The only time I flat out refused...

The Paul McCartney/Rik Rubin series was really good IMO, if it is still on there.

I can't believe no one has commented on this "Shred with Shifty yet". I love ACE and he meant a lot to my playing but... :shock: :shock: I am thinking he is just old and deaf. Hell my dad died at his age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1mP5lI2BNU&list=PLq9mmHLGk12nwcgMfK5hgnwkYUUWWaT...

I'll make my assessment when there is more than 17 seconds of crappy video available.

Is this really a thing? I was "friends" with guys I played music with in JR HIGH. After that, you just went with the best situation and the guys who were reliable. While I am not "enemies" with anyone I played with, I am not close "hang out" type friends with any of the...

Having been both lead guitar and/or bass in MANY different bands I would list the chances of some one in the band being stupid or an asshole in this order. #1 FRONTMAN/VOCALIST #2 DRUMMER #3 GUITAR #4 BASS #5 KEYS However BASS is the easiest of the instruments to PICK UP AND become acceptable at. Th...

PETER > Thinks he is better than he is.

ACE > Doesn't understand why he is so influencial

PAUL > Knows he is inferior and is butthurt

GENE > A really good player who doesn't give 2 fucks. what anyone else thinks.

It's like the first song. First listen on shit speakers I was kind of meh. Second listen on a decent system I am liking it. I agree about the pace though. It either needs to be sped up a couple ticks or take it down to sludge metal speed.

And... often, the promoter, who books the show, includes not only their gear for the night, but Hotel rooms, dinner, catering and perhaps Car service for pick up at airport, or to and from shows, is also included. Especially if only in town for that night, and they're flying the next day, then the ...

A 10 or 20 date run could make their year. I'd go play a 20 date tour for a grand a night in my pocket. They ain't making a thousand a night. Maybe not. The CEO could probably make a more realistic assessment than I could these days as he plays a lot of this style of gig, here there and everywhere ...

What's the cost? A grand or 2 at most per show? In on of the Gebert books he had a contract for the Comet and if I remember right the guarentee for ACE then was 20 grand with ACE taking 10 and all merch. The band splitting the rest. It's not "KISS" money but if it's all you got? These guy...

Sorry if this was already posted, but c'mon.... What's next, ACE at the wig maker?

KISS in the early 70's. They made it seem they were huge but they were running on fumes before ALIVE! broke. Aucoin's credit card maxed out. Paul's "hole in Bill's shoe story" puts it in perspective.

The real question is would he be popular if his name was John Doe? Absolutely not. Dead or not the V name is his money bag.

By who, where and how? I would be interested to see this. If you are going by whatever anyone involved with KISS says you cannot believe a word. They all talk out of their ass.

If was anywhere near that high he wouldn’t have sold the rights to his makeup…and for peanuts. If you read into all the talk around this, it seems he didn't sell his "OWNERSHIP" of the spaceman make-up. It seems he more or less "licensed" it to the KISS Corp. and receives a $$% ...
