That was very painful to watch, but at least a honest performance. Lol He is not using autotune or doing playback. So many singers are faking it these days (Young and old).

this is half the reason bands use backing tracks, you cant have an "off" night anymore where only the people in the audience hear it and onto the next, now an off night like this turns viral.

Well thank God one of my favorite bands KISS never does that.....

Sometimes I wish Paul Stanley would use autotune for his banter inbetween songs. I love the dude and he is not as bad as he used to be but he would turn into this southern belle all of the sudden. "You know people, sometames you just gotsta tell the world that you got this, and lean your head on the shouldah of rock and roll-uwah-uwah-uwah!"

My wife at the time would look at me and say "God, he needs to stop...". LOL

It's that natural NYC southern drawl coming out.

You know what it is, Ace has such a thick "Bronx" accent that it makes the rest of them sound like they are from another state. LOL

Ace's hyena laugh is what gets me.

The whole 'I'm a plumber' routine was...aces!

LOL!! Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've watched that video.

There are some hilarious clips of him. He even told a joke during the KISS unplugged show, inbetween songs, that I won't repeat here. He is funny as crap. LOL

I know I’ve said it before in the previous “Holy Shit, Don Can’t Sing Anymore” threads, but they opened for Ryche a few years back and it was horrendous.

Are you shitting me? Wow. They must be out of their rabbit-ass minds to open for Queensryche. Good lord. Their management really thru them under the bus with that one. "Uh, good news is that we got the gig in Peoria....Bad news,...."

That is like being the guy flying the Cessna around at an airshow right before the Thunderbirds come out. LOL.

Hahah great analogy.

The audience was giving a pity applause after each song and the feeling of “He’s trying, we gotta give him credit for that” was in the air. The band was pretty good when they weren’t singing backups, which was like a 3-part harmony from hell and not in a good way. I remember a very, very long guitar solo, in which I had time to drink one cocktail, wait in line at the bar for another, drink it and go back up before it was over. It felt like 20 minutes but was realistically about 15....in a 45 minute set.
