Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
In 1988 I would’ve called someone a retard for saying this or called myself one for thinking it. But it’s true.
The battle of the pentatonics
Slash’s Snakepit alone > Frehley’s Comet. Nevermind all the badassery Slash has put out since. Besides, Slash is and always has been cool af. Even at his worst Slash is cool. Ace stepped in dogshit
Slash’s swagger > Ace Frehley swagger. Kisstards, you know it’s true
Suck it Acetards

You should go to the KISS faq board with such opinions!

I’m here to chew bubble gum and defend Ace… and I’m all outta bubble gum.
This isn’t even debatable in 2024, so let’s put that aside.
Slash had a cup ‘o coffee with ‘cool’ between about 1986 - 1989. His tone has always been shit, and he had a hand in making only 2 good records.
My boy Space Ace wrote his own chapter in the book of 70s ‘cool’ between about 1975 - 1979. Through a kid’s eyes… (mine)… bro was supernatural. Dude was on my lunchbox, and was part of 7 good records. ACK!

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Slash’s tone was shit? I’ll admit GNR were sloppy as shit in the 80s but I never heard Slash and thought “Wow that guy has shit tone. He better get rid of that Les Paul and Marshall”.Spongie wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 5:39 am I’m here to chew bubble gum and defend Ace… and I’m all outta bubble gum.

Lunchboxes and toys…that about sums it up. You can keep your lunchbox, belt buckles and bubble gum cards
Had a cup of coffee with cool? By 1989, Slash had opened for his heroes in Aerosmith and was well on his way to becoming Joe and Brad’s equal and peer, played Giants stadium, Donington and had two of the biggest albums on the Billboard charts.
In 1991, he was headlining Rock In Rio, provided music for Terminator 2. By 1992 he was co-headlining a stadium tour with Metallica and he and his band were participating in the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. What was Ace doing? Playing clubs on the fumes of a four year old album.
Slash > Ace

Touring with Mickey Mouse Rose, who beat multiple women and anally raped Stephanie Seymour, to pay off his ex-wife. Rad. Then there's Ace, the king of morons. A complete idiot. Playing wise, Slash annihilates Ace these days. Both are shit in their own ways.
Duff did the tour too. Izzy has also sat in with Axl at times over the years.
Are AC/DC terrible people for having Axl fill in for Brian?
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the Seymour allegation before. But I was never the band’s number one fan. I do remember reading that both Axl and Erin Everly were psycho back in the day. They were obviously not good for each other. Both came from very dysfunctional, abusive families.

MOST not all of Slash’s solos the last few albums are too fast and boring but he’s still better than 80 year old Ace.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Slash sounds like he practices and plays more than Ace does.
Ace sounds like someone trying to remember how to play.

They won't admit he's guilty. That would mean he's made fools of them.
Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
If Slash was in any other band than the most popular band of the time he’d have been a joke. He always sucked, especially live. We was always more worried about striking the right pose than hitting any of the right notes. We was worse than Ace and Page on their sloppiest days and wasn’t even old yet. And his solos always sound like he’s got a couple notes that in a different scale (not on purpose). His solos are largely forgettable unlike classic Ace.

Slash is technically a better guitarist, but Ace wrote the better riffs and a handful of great songs.

Nobody outside of this board would remotely consider Ace to be an all time great. Slash, they would.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Slash was a one trick pony up until 2010
Post that he has improved leaps and bounds . He has a unique technique for his fast runs that not many people would be able to copy.
Most people aren’t familiar with his work post - GNR which is why they judge him based on paradise city and sweet child o mine
Guaranteed he is no EVH but he is a stellar guitar player .
He is a guitar player I would pay money to see .

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
1978 Ace Frehley holds his own with Slash easily. Fucking easily. Give me a break.
Sure Slash has more licks and is faster blah blah. Doesn't matter. Ace's vibrato and tone were stellar and he wrote more good songs than Slash.
2024 Ace Frehley is a tragedy.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
The fact that anyone - ANYONE, even RisingTard-level retards - could think that Ace Frehley could ever hold his own against Slash, ever, in any scenario, is so beyond fucking delusional that it's not even funny.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Even at my height of KISS nutswinging I never rated Frehley as a guitar player, singer or songwriter. He's bad to mediocre at everything. Never liked any of his lead vocal songs and his 78 solo is a 4/10 at best.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Slash is technically more proficient, wrote better riffs and has very tasteful and melodic solos, like the ones in Estranged, for exmple. He's also cooler.
Slash is a pop culture icon.
Ace played in Kiss.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Sure - everything from the Kiss debut through Love Gun. You're saying there's no Ace riffs on those first six albums? How about Kiss Alive! - the whole album? Slash was good on what, one album?cowpins wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 3:42 pmOk. Name Ace's riffs vs. Slash's riffs.

Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
Sure he can - he doesn't play the fast stuff like Slash, but his body of work on the first six Kiss albums is solid. His solos are melodic and memorable. Slash has one good album, which he is great on. But to say it's "beyond fucking delusional" is over-the-top.
Re: Slash Is WAY Better Than Ace Frehley
So he's the better-looking turd in the punchbowl. Woo hoo.
