Oh, dear Lord, can you believe what I just stumbled upon? 🙄 Apparently, MÖTLEY CRÃœE’s John 5 (yes, the guy who replaced the irreplaceable, I might add) was yapping about his undying love for KISS’s original space cadet, Ace Frehley (who totally didn’t overdose on hairspray and glitter). And get this, Ace is dead at 74. John 5 actually thinks anyone cares about their “bromance.” He said, and I quote, “I discovered KISS in ’77 when I was seven years old.” Groundbreaking stuff, John. Really changing the world here. 🙄
He even claimed they were BFFs, hanging out at pawn shops and movie theaters like some weird rock ‘n’ roll rom-com. 🤮 Can you imagine the conversations? “Hey Ace, wanna go see the latest Adam Sandler flick and then haggle over a used guitar?” Riveting!
And apparently, Ace was thrilled about getting a Kennedy Center Honor (posthumously, of course, because timing is everything). John 5 said Ace was “over the moon” that the president said his name correctly. I’m sure that’s the highlight of any washed-up rockstar’s career. 🤣
Now, hold on to your wigs, because it gets even better. Gene Simmons, the demon himself, actually released a statement. He said, “Our hearts are broken. Ace has passed on.” Oh, the crocodile tears! 😠I’m sure Gene is just devastated that he can’t squeeze any more money out of Ace’s name. And then he added that Ace “didn’t live long enough to be honored at the Kennedy Ctr Honors event in Dec.” How tragic! I’m sure Ace is rolling in his grave, wishing he could have attended a stuffy awards ceremony instead of, you know, rocking out. 🤘
And let’s not forget that Donald Trump (yes, THAT Trump) is involved in this whole shebang. He’s hosting and producing the show, because what’s more American than a reality TV star celebrating aging rockstars? 🤡
Of course, everyone in KISS had to chime in with their own profound thoughts. Gene said it’s “the embodiment of the American Dream.” Paul Stanley said it embodies “the American ideal that all things are possible and that hard work pays off.” Ace called it “a dream come true.” And Peter Criss just said, “I feel so blessed.” Riveting stuff, guys. Really making us think. 🤔
But wait, there’s more! Apparently, Ace was a huge Trump supporter. He said Trump was “the strongest leader that we’ve got” and that everyone should “get behind your president.” Well, that explains a lot. Birds of a feather, am I right? 🪶
So, there you have it. The saga of Ace Frehley, John 5, KISS, and the Kennedy Center Honors. A tale of washed-up rockstars, political endorsements, and posthumous awards. What a time to be alive! 🤪
