Talk about Spinal Tap moments, Just saw the Ace videos on the Monsters of Rock Cruise. Ace appears unable to hear and keep up. He seems deaf, The smoke guitar went off by accident and he forgot he was the lead singer a few times. Wreck and Roll all night. Downtown Beirut looked better than that show.

I listen to “PERMISSION TO LAND “ three to four times a week every week it’s such a breath of fresh air as far as rock goes cos when P.T.L came out rock was in a bad place and it had lost its identity. SO THANKYOU GUYS.

I've been a KISS fan for 43 years, i love Ace and it's his best record since his 1989 Trouble Walkin' album, try the song Fightin' For Life, it's the best song on the album. Cheers from Montreal!!!

Montreal is such a beautiful city. I went there on a business trip once, and had a great time. Everyone was super friendly. And well dressed. Our hosts took us to dinner at the Hard Rock on Catherine Street, and we sat outside. It was a Saturday night, so there were tons of people out. There were no T-shirts and backward ball caps. There was a distinctly European vibe about it. Sorry to ramble. You live in a cool place!

@justinhawkinsridesagain the black leather lyric is a throwback and tip of the hat to his first signature song, "Shock Me" from Love Gun which contained the lyric "Shock Me! Make me feel better. Shock Me! Put on your black leather." Only KISS nerds like myself would know that of course! 🙂

Hi Justin, I love all of your videos please never stop. I’ve been introduced to many great artists like Ren! Please keep them coming! I’m a life long Kiss fan and of Ace! I love his work ethic as he’s is in his 70’s and still recording and touring consistently! But getting to the point 😊 the person he’s pointing to would be rather pleased, as it’s his girlfriend, Lara, whose love he’s quite often celebrating in this album!! Just a bit of useless info !! 🤣

Sounds like Green Day crossed with Fountains of Wayne to me 😂

You did in fact grace Mr. Frehley's presence. And the security guard he had do his dirty work. Glad he talked it out.

That's what I call a cut, Justin! Keep the hair and beard that way, looks awesome!

LOVE this review!!! And loved your MORC performance! Bravo man, keep up the entertainment!

Now there’s a proper rock song👍

music cruises are awesome! Enjoy your trip.

Very funny reaction Sir Justin ,be kind to the Ace man ,he inspired many including me,xxx

Watching you do that bit for Soundraw was great. You were so funny and enigmatic. I think I would buy it even if I didn't use it. Sounds exciting the rock and roll cruising. I had to hop on an old video cuz I missed seeing you and love your sense of humor. Ace Frehley has confidence the way he promoted his new release/album....

Dude your f*cking hilarious at times .you got the comedic aspect of these videos down pat .as for this song of Ace's I think it's good .not sure I love the hook so much but the musical composition is quite good .

Saw you for the first time on the boat, you guys were absolutely and unexpectedly amazing. Your bass player is unbelievably cool looking. 🤟🤓

The songs are so catchy on this album. It’s a fun listen.

I needed these laughs today!!😂

I'm sorry Justin but this is why I f***ing love you! 😂😂 cognac pleather

Chatted with Ace's manager John Ostrosky for about a half hour at Player's on the boat. Interesting dude, with a breadth of experience in all of the "behind the scenes" of media production.

Thanks for the Ace Frehley review!!! Been a fan of his since '78. His solo album was the first record I ever purchased. I'm digging this record! The verses in this are a bit pedestrian, but the chorus took me by surprise and has been stuck in my head since my first listen. As for leather choice, it's gotta be black, since this is a throw-back to his KISS song "Shock Me" from back in the day. Cognac leather is a nice 2nd choice!

Good music Justin.

Although I love Ace I didn't care for this song that much at first. But hearing your positive spin on it makes me appreciate it more. Keep ridin'!

Ace is getting old but he has not lost a step.

Look forward to seeing you on the morc Justin, your show pool side, ahoy mate.

This is like an early 2000s pop punk song, which I didn't expect from Ace. Even the music video is giving off those pop punk vibes.

Omg i knew something felt familiar bout the song. Huge Oasis fan can’t believe Supersonic didn’t connect in my head lol!

Cognac is a sexy beast of a color! I really liked this song because I have always liked that type of chord sequence. I don't know what the chord numbers are for this. I-III-VI (Beato) or whatever. Anyone know? You can indeed understand every word Ace says. Clear as a bell. This is what I'd call a stomper. Four on the floor, not fast but not plodding. You don't have to be a Terpsichore to dance to this. This is fun bar music. This would be really fun bar music at sea. The heavy metal contained within that boat is going to be heavier than the metal the boat is made of. I was a vegetarian for a while and the way I thought about my leather shoe or jacket purchases was that the animal had already been slaughtered for it's meat. It left behind a hide. If you desire to eat an animal, then you should use as much of the animal as possible. Nothing should go to waste. Well made leather goods can last a long time. I've had some good leather shoes that I had re-soled two or three times. I bought from thrift stores where possible. Some friends from my teen years are still rocking the Ramones leathers they wore in the late '70's. The leathers still look really good, so no need to buy more than one in your life. Our leathers are less wrinkly than we are, and will outlive us. The Revenge of the Cows.

The black leather is a reference to the 1977 Shock Me lyric on Love Gun - "Make me feel better, put on your black leather."

Fantastic to see you perform twice on the MORC, best band, best front man I have seen in a very long time, and taking the piss out of ACE in Studio B, funny that you just reviewed this song before the cruise too. Ironic isn't it Mate?

From the thumbnail , I thought it was Jeff Martin of The Tea Party but it's the space man lol Ty Mr Hawkins

So funny! Haha

the very beginning of this song makes me think of "Branded" by Rose Tattoo!

Ace was my hero when I was 13 yo 🙉. He gave this Stones groove to Kiss 💋

Hopefully you covered this in the cruise or jumped onstage & sang “cognac”!!

Ace Frehley is the coolest 😎

You’re so polite and optimistic when stating the obvious. Well done sir

"Supersonic" by Oasis!! luv Oasis!!

Ace!

For your leather song, don't forget that "your studded dog collar really makes me holler." :) You can always have the guy not being able to decide between cognac and black. Leather quandary.

Outstanding shout-out to "The Best." If we're changing lyrics it merits noting "I'm just a thug with a snakeskin rug" works as an alternative in "Open Fire."

Ohhhh goood day to you, Justin! ❤

Really hope I look as good as Justin when I'm 48.

Has Justin talked about Sparks yet? They are one of my absolute favorites, and I discovered them the same year I listened to Permission to Land like a mofo, in 2006. A bit after that, Justin covered their biggest hit, and the Mael bros appeared on his (darts themed) music video. Would love to hear anything about that!

I've been an Ace fan since I was a kid. His new album is a pretty solid rock album.

I've never seen a man shit talk another man so politely

I have an incredible library of lyrics in my head and I do not recall any song that employs cognac and black as rhyming partners.

The teethsayer says. Forget the apple. You are awesome mate.

Black leather is more metal, and definitely a nod to early KISS. The lyrics sound like stuff I used to write when I was 15 - and I mean that in the best way! They're so honest and pure. It seems that our little Spaceman has found his muse. This gives me hope. Could it be that, after all of his struggles with addiction, Ace Frehley has found.... happiness? And if he can do it, maybe I can too. ⚡⚡🎸⚡⚡

He's kinda sad in his old age, i don't think rock n roll ages well. But check out his guitar solo from 100,000 Years sometime. How a person can take the pentatonic scale and come up with some of those licks is beyond me. He really was great during that Alive era.

Bruh Justin cracks me up

Ace IS a legend, a lovable and fun one, which... is lucky for him in this case 🙂
