That last one

[Stadler]

I don't quite get the middle one, but that last one. I love a good pun.

I don't quite get the middle one, but that last one. I love a good pun.

I assume the middle one is a commentary on people on social media who try to refute science with, "oh, I saw on google that volcanos are really venting shafts for Joe Biden's evil factories that are run with slave labor."

The last one was good but a bit strained.  The fish soup thing I've seen before, and I'm quite partial to those sorts of things.

Well, they are.  So I don't see the joke.   

HAHA, I'm kidding!!! : )   I think I get it.

The expertise of the researcher is rather undercut by the phrase "one of the safest of energy".

That Kiss interview is golden, and I'm in the Gene/Paul camp.

Yeah - "rock" might be stretching it .  He's more rock than half the people up for RRHOF nomination though

I think Ace was funny only to those who didn't have to manage him

Fuck man, I just stumbled across that a few weeks ago.  I've watched it like 10 times, it's outrageous!! One of the funniest things ever!

"JAM!!" 
"What you say?" 
"I'm concerned cause there's nothing wrong!" 

[wolfking]

I'll have to check the Ace one.

Even the way he became all serious when tallking about the Lord    So many funny angles to it.

Here's the main part of the Ace interview (off his face obviously)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elwJNGS9aQ0


but as Stads hinted half the fun in that interview if you see the extended version is watching Paul and Gene fuming as the interview moves along.

[TAC]

The Kiss/Tom Snyder interview is an all time classic.

Tom: "I've got a pipe backstage that I want to show you."
Ace: "Tell me about it."
 




"I play the trout." 

[wolfking]

Lol.  I click on that tonight.

[TAC]

Lol.  I click on that tonight.

Kade, here's the full interview. It's only a half hour but worth the watch. Watching Gene and Paul seething while Ace gets all of the attention is hilarious.

[wolfking]

I'm on it.

[wolfking]

Just watched it.  Not a KISS fan but that was a good watch.  Gene's reactions are priceless.  And Paul with the 'put the bear down,' as Ace picks it up. 

[King Postwhore]

You can see Gene and Paul getting angry as the interview goes on. It's glorious. 

[Stadler]

To their credit, though, that interview, in it's entirety, was included on the Kissology video set.  I think there's enough distance these days that the world knows that was more about Ace being off the rails than Gene/Paul being control freaks.  Kiss is playing stadiums with no album, and Ace is barely putting 350 people into a club.

Well, control freaks might be a tad strong, but Gene and Paul ultimately have a message to convey, and Ace basically stole that from them, or at least hindered it.

Honestly, I expected worse behaviour from Ace before watching it.  But, I kind of also expected worse behaviour from Gene and Paul.  While Gene and Paul are getting visibly annoyed (especially Gene), I honestly don't think it showed them in any real negative light like control freaks.  I think they held it together really well. I can definitely see how it comes across them perhaps being control freaks but I just think it shows how serious Gene and Paul are about their business and could just see in that moment the possibility of Ace tarnishing their brand in a way they didn't want.

Right, that's what I was saying. Gene is always ready with some rehearsed response. He's quite impressed with himself in the things he says, and it's funny to see him get annoyed as Tom Snyder keeps turning his attention to Ace.

Ace didn't have bad behavior at all in this. He's just hilarious though the whole thing.

[wolfking]

The one thing that is indeed evident in that clip is how much Gene loves himself.

And the funny thing?  Paul is, by all accounts, as bad or worse than Gene in all those things, he's just allowed Gene to be the "front man" for the group.  Read Gene and Paul's books; the difference is as clear as day.  Gene's is just basically him rambling, and you get the sort of essence of Gene.  There's a lot of smarts there, but there's a fair amount of bullshit as well. He often talks about being a "self-made man", and he is, but a lot of it is just big balls and having little to no shame.  But it's mostly harmless, and if nothing else, he owns it and doesn't give a shit.  Paul's is very calculated.  I like Paul, especially the latter day Paul, but he is very much a "self-made man" in a very different way. He's almost willed himself into being this rock star and while he's been sort of candid about doing that over the past couple years, there's still a veil there, and I think he very much DOES give a shit.

I met them both (twice, once together and once individually), and talking to Gene was fun. He was breezy and relaxed. Once was actually on-stage and he talked to me like there was no one else in the room even though there were 1,000 people there.  Same the other time (I had the inserts of the two Alive records with me and he went through piucture by picture; it was cool AF).   Talking to Paul, even though he was nice and friendly and warm, was like talking to a persona.  I know a guy that did a couple of the cruises; he was sitting at a table next to Paul in the secured area, and a couple fans came up.  One of his handlers tried to shoo them away, and Paul turned to the guy next to him and said "don't worry about it; I can be the rock star for five minutes" and turned it on. 

I think that interview just showed the sort of differences between the two camps.  For Gene and Paul that was their life, their business, their dream.  For Ace and Peter it was a carnival ride.

I agree.

I remember someone saying something like " Gene is a nice guy who plays an asshole and Paul is an asshole who plays the nice guy" and I think there is an element of truth to that.

I spent quite a bit of time with Gene on his 2018 tour .  The chance to be on stage with Gene I passed on to my son and he took over the joint

Where was that? I did that too; I went up for "I Love It Loud" in Philly. There are vids of it, but some douchebag thought it was his chance to audition or something and hogged the mike.  I didn't care, I wasn't there to sing (I got to stand right next to Gene while he played) but he pushed out another young kid and I thought that was a real dick move.
