Damn, I was never huge on KISS, but their impact is undeniable. RIP to a true, old school rock legend.

When I was a little kid, early 80's, there was a picture of KISS on the back of a SHOGUN WARRIORS comic my brother had, their faces in full makeup used to scare me then. 

Of course, later on as a teen working in retail (1994) with guys in their 30's, I was properly introduced into Pink Floyd, U2, Zepplin, Beastie Boys, RUSH & KISS. 

KISS has some amazing songs and a stage presence that dominated. 

RIP ACE.

That was such a trashy fun movie. The down in fire effects were hilarious and the filmation style sound effects are also great for a laugh. 
Definitely an iconic band and without them, many styles of music and costume would not have been the same. They also pushed bands to do more with stage antics and how shows could be done in a way for more of a visual experience.

Without Kiss, there’d be no Mercyful Fate, or the corpse paint of Black Metal or even more modern makeup and masked bands like Ghost or Sleep Token

Ace was an iconic guitarist and definitely one of those that found a way to make sure you knew his name, even if he may not have been as skilled as some others, you knew his name

Three things.

1. Where I am from I'm predispositioned to hate New York, but this song is epic.

 

2. If I didn't know better I'd have been shocked back in the day if you told me one of the guys from KISS made this.

 

3. Rest is Piece Ace Frehley.

My Ace pen. That I have.
