I also like the Alive version and strangely enough the Strutter '78 version. . Ace is experimenting with some of his favorite solo licks in this demo.

Steve Haynie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The early stuff was an entirely different kind of songwriting than what was to come. The riffs drove the song. Ace just did whatever he wanted. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montelovesco Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The lead lines in the outro - Ace recycled them somewhere else, just can't say where... On the Elder? Oh, yes, I know, he does this more than ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubs_42 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I just listened to Ace's Origins Vol1 and there are some gems on there. A very Punchy, more driven version of Parasite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I dig it and yes, I prefer the Alive version better than their first album version. More raw and Rock n Roll. Say what you will about the deception of the studio edits and dubs to Alive, it truly captured the excitement of a live show as best one can using only audio to do so. After I started getting serious about playing guitar, Ace's playing always made me wince a little. It's well suited to the songs but he never made me stop and go, "what was that!?!" Closest I ever came to being impressed was his triplet runs in Love Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wikid it and found it was Ace. I don't remember Ace' vocals being that aggressive on his solo album. In fact, I remember being very disappointed in each solo album the 4 of them released way back and never listened to them more than a few times. Anyone want to chime in?

Sorry, but it's not as good as the Alive! version. I know J5 is a great player but he just creeps me out for some reason. Maybe it was his past association with Manson or something. 3 hours ago, bubs_42 said: Full album: I'll get slagged for this but, I'd rather listen to Ace solo than Kiss. Frehley's Comet, Solo, it doesn't matter, he is the shit and has some great collaborators. Ace is responsible for pushing KISS to make good music during the first 3 albums. A lot of people talk smack about him as if he isn't any good, mostly your Alan Holdsworth, Steve Howe fan music snobs. I get it, Ace isn't a virtuoso but he is a stellar riffmaster and more influential than most of the critiques favorites. He was the best musician of the original lineup. Sometimes when I am listening to my own recordings, I realize what a huge influence that he has on my playing. Dime worshipped Ace. That's good enough for me.

79Sunburst Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ace needs to remake Sweet Jane on a future Origins album. Ace's singing style is similar to Lou Reed's and I think Ace would kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dug the Ace record, still have it on cd. It got heavy rotation back in the day, once in a long time now. I didn't care for the others. I'm curious, what didn't you like about the Ace effort?
