It makes me happy seeing John so happy. He just seems like a really down to earth humble dude who is as kind as he is flamboyant. Every time I see him in an interview I gain even more respect for him.

You can tell that he played those riffs for thousands of times by himself! Not just beacase he is holding Paul Stanley's guitar, he legit sounds 100% same as KISS do! He already knows perfect tones and other arrangments for their songs... a true KISS fan!

I can watch John play for hours. Hes probably one of my favorite guitarists

Mr Speed! The first Kiss single I bought. Actually, it was the B side to Hard Luck Woman, but I must have listened to Mr Speed a thousand times when I was 9. ♥️

they're actually really good musicians. but within the context of KISS they purposefully write catchier , easier on the ears riffs and songs. even in the 70s when pressed they could play at an elite level, they just chose not to. their philosophy is on record as being "keep it simple , stupid."

Ace Frehley is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. Some of the best vibratos and string bending I've ever heard, and even tapping before Van Halen. Plus he did all that great guitar work when he was drunk!
