"Tom Snydedr was at that point the preeminent interviewer. so we were honored to be on the show. Of course, as soon as we get on the show, it was clear that Ace, God bless him, was blitzed out of his mind." --Gene Simmons
"The first thing that hits me when I'm watching #thetomorrowshowwithtomsnyder is that we were clearly losing our edge. The costumes were ridiculous...We were becoming Vegas showgirls or something of a Disney movie, as opposed to the hard rockers that we started as." --Paul Stanley
Kiss (often stylized as KIϟϟ) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. Well known for its members' face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-late 1970s with its shocking live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics. The band has gone through several lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons being the only members to feature in every lineup. The original and best-known lineup consists of Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Simmons (vocals and bass), Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Criss (drums and vocals).
With their make-up and costumes, the band members took on the personae of comic book-style characters: the Starchild (Stanley), the Demon (Simmons), the Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and the Catman (Criss). Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley had departed the group by 1982. In 1983, Kiss began performing without makeup and costumes, thus marking the beginning of the band's "unmasked" era that would last for over a decade. The band experienced a commercial resurgence during this era, with the Platinum-certified album Lick It Up successfully introducing them to a new generation of fans, and its music videos receiving regular airplay on MTV.
Kiss is regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of all time, as well as one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including 21 million RIAA-certified albums. Kiss also holds the title as America's No. 1 Gold record award-winning group of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Kiss has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum. On April 10, 2014, the four original members of Kiss were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kiss was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire magazine. (wikipedia)
Tom Snyder (1936 - 2007) was an American pioneering television personality and figure in broadcast journalism who brought a no non-sense attitude to broadcast television news. He was best known for his late nigh talk shows Tomorrow (NBC) and The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder (CBS). His engaging style combined with his irascible attitude, made him one of the best known journalists of his time, back when having a nationally televised and thought provoking late night talk show actually meant something. It was a totally different time in television, as the news was delivered as information with no spin or opinion of the newsman. He marked the end of an era.

It's rather tragic to watch Ace digging his own grave. Don't you see? He is destructive to the bandmates and to the band. By making them ridiculous.No loyalty at all! But he doesn't realise that he himself looks and behaves comical. He thinks, he is the superstar who is in the position to make fools out of Paul and Gene. They tolerated him too long. My boss would have fired him immediately.

To a lot of KISS fans, Ace IS a superstar; thee superstar of the band. And every member has done destructive stuff... just not with drugs and alcohol. Gene whom I love speaks FAR TOO MUCH about politics and has a horrible reputation because of it and that has seriously impacted the band. But the reality is... it's rock'n roll and it is what it is. What band doesn't' do drugs and alcohol? Compared to Motley Crue, Aerosmith and the Stones... KISS are choirboys. LOL@@HappyMachorino-bd8no

@@KnockOffToyz Keith Richards with or without drugs never made his own band ridiculous publicly. And whatever Gene/Paul did wrong, (they lost fans) but they were always loyal to their band. Of course, Ace was the superstar. But no LOYALTY, no job. They gave him a second chance No loyalty again? That's why the Tom Snyder interview for me is more tragic than comic. It shows a superstar and his selfdestructive tendencies.

I don't see that Paul is "negative". On the contrary, he symphasizes with Ace and is amused.. But he still is the frontman, the serious spokesman. Diplomacy is difficult, but he did a good job. Ace can not be "active", he is the "laziest" guy Paul ever met. Ace confirmed recently in "Facts Or Fiction" what Paul wrote. And Ace's addiction can never be "positive"

If Ace hadnt been Ace the entire thing would have been a note in history as Oh cool KISS. As it is, it reveals the good, the bad and the ugly of a Supergroup that were incredibly famous at this time. It was a treat for the fans to see their heroes just being themselves. That is the way Gene is, the Paul, Peter and Ace are also. It wasnt an embarassment it was a fantastic moment in time that showed joy, conflict, over the top ridiculousness of fame and everything in between. A time capsule Gene and Paul should be thankful they have the priviledge of looking back on as what they once were as a real band.
Ace made that interview so much more entertaining not boring like other interviews, absolutely steller and memorable, just having the time of their lives, Tom said he had an awful time, I beg to differ, it was a great, honest, fun, cool and priceless interview ever, I remember this interview back in 1979, me and my family stood up just to watch it and it was worth it, the good old days if Rock & Roll, the best of times & the 1980s.

I think Tom was being sarcastic when he said he was having an awful time

Yeah, what the person above me just said. I remember reading an article about Tom shortly after he passed away, where they interviewed people who knew him well, and it was mentioned that he had an absolute blast during that interview, and that it was a career highlight. I’m sure he was most likely being sarcastic about it being “awful”.
I love ace, he made that damn band. Gene was pissed, I love it...
Love the maniacal joker laugh Ace owned this interview. He should iso his laff track on this and sell the crap out of it.
This was one of the best interviews of all time!
I remembered Gene and Paul were more serious and irritated, but look at this. They are all having fun with Ace´s divine laughter. The plumber is legendary.
I had only seen a small portion if this. Seeing the full 33 minutes makes me realize what a big pussy Gene is in hating this appearance. If it wasn’t for Ace and Peter the interview would be sulking Gene never smiling, pushed all the way back in his chair like some lizard king on his throne doing his best James Dean attitude. What an incredible downer he was. Paul was ok, animated, seemed into it. And Tom was loving this, joining in the fun. Do we want the Gene Simmons KISS interview or this? Ace wasn’t exactly slurring his words or falling asleep, he was a functional drunk and having a good time. Gene in years since has over exaggerated the quality of this clip, I loved it.

Yeah, I’ve never understood all the talk about how Ace was so wasted here that it was unbelievable. I mean obviously he’s lit up, but as you said it’s not like he’s incoherent and drooling all over himself. He’s just having a good time, and so was Tom for that matter. Apparently all these Gene fanboys equate having a bit of fun and letting off steam with full blown drug addiction and alcoholism. I’m not saying Ace was never an addict. He very famously was, but in this instance it’s much more innocuous than some people are making it out to be.
Ace is completely plastered 😂

It's because of his mom, she is watching! And he said also: "Hi, mom"!
This show is the one that put KISS on the map. Alive! brought attention, Destroyer, Rock n Roll Over, Love Gun, and Dynasty made them the biggest band in the world, but this show, mostly because of Ace Frehley being hilarious, made them likable for the mainstream.
Gene and Paul really wanted to talk about their story. But you can tell Tom rathers having a laugh at work than playing their game 9:08
I love how the whole time you can see that gene is pissed with ace 💀💀 its crazy…crazy…crazy night
WOW this is a crazy ass interview! Never seen it before!! LMAO😂
The kiss cover band may have had their last show concert ever but let's be real ace and peter were the original band. Because after the left that was the end of the real band that was truly the end of the road for the original band.

As far as I’m concerned it was over before Ace and Peter even left. Like right after Alive 2, or whenever it was they made their solo albums. 1978.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS YOURE POSTING!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

This interview is fantastic. Ace will always be my favourite member of KISS.
Wow! What a great moment!
I swear, if Ace wanted it bad enough, and went down a different career path other than music, he could've easily been an amazing & successful stand-up comedian! It's literally impossible not to laugh and have such a fun time with him 🤣 Also, Gene has to lighten the hell up. The guy clearly takes life way too seriously 😒

His family grew up super poor he probably didn’t want to ruin his shot of getting wealthy and making a name for himself. But yeah, if he had laughed along with Ace instead of holding himself back it would’ve lightened up the mood. His persona IS ‘the demon’ though so what can we expect😭

@@seanna_.7598 They were wealthy at that point. Gene was a stick in the mud trying to sell a brand that was established...on its way out but established. The Dynasty era in 1979 was after their peak and going down. I remember the Viewmaster films around this time...

@@CodeBleu724YES! I remember the Viewmaster of this. By this time they were comedy-level joke, meaning they catered to kids. Kids were watching this, and Ace was making off-color jokes. That would be enough to do KISS in back in 1979. That’s why he was pissed
Gene Simmons probably still has nightmares where he's haunted by that laugh ...🤣
