Since this has turned into a Kiss topic.... you should give the new Ace Frehley CD a spin. It's actually pretty good. He's listened to the fans that tell him that his 70s Kiss solo LP was his best and gone back to that style (for the most part, there's still a few duds on this one).

Does he sing in his solo album? 'Cause frankly, Paul and Gene are great singers; Eric Carr (RIP) was fantastic, and Peter's at least good. But Ace... he's a fine guitarist.

Yeah he sings and plays. I like his voice a lot, even though I know he's not a good singer. There's something about the drawl in his voice that makes him unique.
If you don't like his first solo LP, you won't like this either.

I only listened to his debut LP once, about ten years ago!
One changes a lot in a decade, maybe this time I'll appreciate it more. I've got to find the time for it. Ace's more than worth it anyway.

I also like Eric Singer doing a few songs at the Kiss concerts!
And I agree, that Ace's solo efforts, especially the latest are worth listening to.

Not since they got rid of old noodle arms.

No, as Peter Criss is not in Kiss anymore they dropped Beth a while ago. But I think it could be possible that they will play it again, as Eric Singer is also singing other Criss songs like noting to loose and black diamond.[/QUOTE]
Eric Singer has sung "Beth" twice that I know of (check Youtube). This was not at any KISS shows. It was performed
when he plays club gigs with some of his friends.
As long as Peter Criss is not in KISS, KISS won't play "Beth". Paul and Gene can't stand the song.
As far as "Nothin' To Lose" and "Black Diamond" go, Peter didn't write those songs. All three KISS drummers (Peter Criss,
Eric Carr, and Eric Singer) have sung "Black Diamond" in concert. Even Paul sang it a few times.

I listened to "Anomaly" once when it was streaming online. Craptastic. That song with the "daddy do you believe in
angels?" line was beyond embarrassing.

Ace can't sing. Never could. He should never be within 15 feet of a mic stand.
Paul, Gene, Eric Carr, and Eric Singer are great singers.
Peter Criss is tone deaf.

Bon Jovi has probably done longer tours. Their tour for New Jersey ran for well over a year, from late 88 to early 90.
Dream Theater is worth a mention as well, as their tour for Images And Words ran nearly two years. Near the end of it, they wanted to shoot themselves because they desperately needed to take time off to write new material.
