He even had a Senator's race pushed weeks before the November Governor/Senator/House election so people wouldn't vote for a Democrat Senator/House Representative and a Democrat Governor at the same time. That fat P.O.S. was in many ways more crooked than his predecessor, Jon Corzine. If Chris Christie died and went to hell, he couldn't go there because he's so fat, he'd plug the hole getting there and nobody else could enter.

Paul is a great guitar player, but a creep as a human being. He always put Ace down, saying he wasn't as great a guitar player as everyone made himself out to be. Granted, the booze and drugs caught up to him. But if you watch a KISS concert filmed from January 1977 (the Rock N Roll Over) concert in Detroit Michigan here on KZread, Ace owned the stage. Just look at the history of KISS. There's absolutely nobody that was inspired to start playing guitar by anyone in KISS, apart from Ace.

I would agree that Gene and Paul would become angry at Peter and Ace for their disruptive lifestyle or whatever other issues they faced as individuals.

@john vonburg From the recording sessions for "The Elder" and the songwriting & pre~production sessions for "Creatures Of The Night", Ace was hitting the substances (alcohol & valium) real hard. He couldn't make it from his home, 40 miles away in Connecticut, into downtown NYC, or Toronto to be personally involved in the creation and recording of "The Elder". He enjoyed getting buzzed at home to the point he was rarely leaving his comfy place, even for business and/or social pleasure. ACE was a intoxicated no-show for filmed promo performances beamed via satellite to Europe. This was promotional work in support of "The Elder". KISS went on to complete the television spots as a trio, Stanley, Simmons, Carr. Early 1982, Ace was charged with impaired driving. Six weeks later Ace nearly lost his life. One night after hanging out with friends, visiting various local watering holes and drinking all evening, Ace took valium before driving home. Driving at a high rate of speed up a one way street, Ace crashed and totally destroyed his DeLorean sports car. Lucky he didn't kill anyone who also may have been on the roads that night, lucky to have sustained only minor upper and lower body injuries. He was charged with various felony charges. This seemed to be a turning point for Ace. Unable to contribute to any of the writing or recording of "Creatures Of The Night" LP, due to the crash and it's after effects, the band really wanted Ace to continue as a member of KISS. Upon hearing the tracks the band came up with for the Creatures album, Ace was thrilled to have the band back performing the hard rock/metal music that he thought should've remained their focus all along. ACE participated in the U.S. promotional tour, clean and sober, making visits in full costume to T.V. & Radio stations in all the biggest markets. When the promo tour moved over to the U.K. Ace realized there was no way he could complete a full KISS tour without his personal demons threatening his life, telling Paul, "If I try to complete this tour, it'll kill me". ACE was man enough to step up and take care of himself and his health. ACE showed what true bravery is, when he stepped off the wild circus ride that had become the KISS rock and roll lifestyle. Kudos ACE!!
