Ace, your very kind words for our hometown heroes Rush was exciting to hear. You're a legend, sir, and your music will live on forever for all of us. Thank you so much!!

Rush has always credited Kiss with teaching them how to be pros, including giving your openers a soundcheck.

He isn't lying, he's a regular kind of guy. Ace is Genuinely cool. I met him in Shreveport once and the next time he was in Louisiana, he had tickets waiting for me at will call and I got to go backstage and visit him again. Great Great guy!

Ace having a room like that is even more proof that he was the coolest member of KISS.

I love Ace’s honesty… it’d be very difficult for most people who’ve had his kind of life to keep their ego in check, but Ace has got it down.
