Ace Frehley Says He Doesn’t ‘Believe’ Kiss Is Truly Retired From Touring

Post by maninblack »

“I’m the only game in town because Kiss is supposedly retired — which I don’t believe is gonna happen,” Frehley told Billboard. Frehley feels that “Paul and Gene are driven by different things than me. I’m driven by the quality of the music and in some cases they’re driven by money and that doesn’t sit well with me. But they’ve admitted it, so it’s no big deal.” In fact, Frehley says his relationships with his former bandmates are not as rancorous as is often reported. Does he know paul is out looking for him with a fire-axe?

They might do a show or a residency in Las Vegas but they’re done touring.

I'm beginning to think they're paying Ace to keep their names in the spotlight.

I fully agree with this statement. Ironic how big the Ace push is right now.

I'm betting he's doing it to keep his own new album in the spotlight. That said, he's most likely not wrong here. Paul and Gene will eventually get the itch to bilk a few hundred thousand more gullible Kisstards out of their hard earned cash again.

Yeah he’s like Hagar. Saying something inflammatory about Ed or Roth is a guaranteed headline. Otherwise no one fucking cares.

I admit, though, it has been nice not seeing new videos of Paul caterwauling the same tired songs all over the board and YT.
