@SIOLoudcast @MetalBlade @PantheonPods @brianslagel @kiss Vote goes to 76-77, and check it out Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant wore a Kiss on Tour jacket to the ring back in early 80s! I recall a match at Maple Leaf Gardens that he was rocking this jacket!

Sadly, the only update on the Jewish 14 year old that has gone missing in Toronto is that she is still missing.

Please keep sharing and keep her and her family in your prayers.

@EddieTrunk He needs to keep Peter Criss name out of his mouth! First Ace bashing and now Peter… @genesimmons learn to love your former bandmates and not hurt them! Why not complement Peter on his great new album? Change your narrative Gene life’s too short!

@Berger_BYTES I know it’s an 82 game grind, but man if facial expression and body language in the 3rd was lowest point for this group. It’s time for a major change. What that is I will leave it to the GM. You don’t win trading Matthew’s out or Nylander. No return will help us short term.

@HistoryOfFights @thereal_tiedomi Legendary! They don’t build them like this anymore. Listen to that crowd and those teammates all standing! Great stuff!

Luca Pinelli had a family FaceTime yesterday to tell everyone he was headed to #CBJ to make his NHL debut. His parents, Frank and Daniela, and older brother Anthony will be here. Another brother, Francesco, plays in the Kings org. His pesky game may come from being the youngest.

@SIOLoudcast @ace_frehley My vote is those solos. His evolution from Deuce to Dark Light! So many great ones and I would also say his guitar work on Rock Bottom as the intro is a beautiful piece of music! PS Thank you for the honor of the comment of the week, I am truly grateful T and Z.

@SIOLoudcast Part of the Saturday ritual is a workout and listening to these fine gentleman Tom and Zeus. They are therapy and part of the healing process for the loss of our real life superhero RIP @ace_frehley @kiss

@punt_rd 1978 Solo Album. Fractured Mirror and those church bells, the guitar 🎸…wow doesn’t seem real that he is gone.

[JohnRestagno,CIP,CLU,CHS,RIS @JRESTAGNO]

@SIOLoudcast I have learned everyone deals with loss differently.Paul is absolutely hurting and I like the photo it’s a place and a memory for him. The outpouring of love for Ace just shows how impactful he was globally!!

I had this poster on the door of my room as a 10-year-old kid back in ‘77. It was like a safety barrier force field and a window to the world I wanted to live in all at the same time.

As I’ve said in countless interviews, I started playing in the Spring of ‘76 when I was eight. Hendrix was the guy who first made me want to do this. But he’d already been gone for six years by the time I discovered him. And Hendrix’s thing was so outer limits, there was no touching that as a little kid playing a beat-up nylon string with mile-high action that made my fingers bleed for every note. All I could do was listen in awe. Ace Frehley, on the other hand, was still AWESOME - literally no-one cooler - but the music was more approachable. I could actually figure out certain parts of his solos. And when I did, that made ME feel awesome. It made me feel cool. And that’s everything when you’re a kid, especially one that didn’t have a lot of friends and spent a lot of time alone. Ace was the guy who made me feel like I could actually DO this thing.

Like so many other players, I’m in his debt forever. He will ALWAYS be among the coolest in my book. A lot of my pick attack and the way I bend notes is down to him. So many of his solos on the Stanley and Simmons songs like “100,000 Years,” “Deuce,” “Strutter,” “Black Diamond,” etc. will always be benchmarks for how to play real-deal rock-n-roll lead guitar. And the songs he wrote - “Parasite,” “Strange Ways,” “Cold Gin,” “Shock Me,” “Rocket Ride,” and that entire ‘78 solo album - will rule ‘til the end of time.

Ride on, Space Ace. And thank you.

Still dealing with Brent Hinds and then D’Angelo a couple of days ago. And, of course, Sly and Brian Wilson and so many others. Now this. 2025 has been no joke. Another sobering reminder to savor every day and show love to the people that matter.
