Gene Simmons’ Powerful Onstage Tribute to Ace Frehley’s Legacy
Despite all the drama over the years, Ace Frehley and Gene Simmons were supposed to share one last massive moment together – being honored as the original KISS lineup at the Kennedy Center Honors by President Donald Trump. Tragically, Ace Frehley passed away just days before it was set to happen.

I‘ve never seen Gene this emotional in the past, yes, he and Ace fought a lot back in the day, but they were still brothers.

Crapped all over the guy all these years, and then marketed the Kennedy Center gig. Whatever dude. Parasite would have been a good Ace tune to play, but probably too close to home.

Kiss is being sued for the sexual assaults of children, pedophilia, kidnapping and entrapment of teenage girls. They didnt give a shit about Ace and abused him his entire life. They abused Rachael Gordon Gene committed sexual battery and they tried repeatedly to kill her.
Rape, silencing, sexual battery, threats of death, actual murder of 2 women in California, pay offs, NDA’s , sexual battery, forgery, identity theft, sexual assault of underage minor children boys and girls as young as 12 years old, trapping and kidnapping teenage women in Memphis TN in 1980 (Robin and Frankie who are now willing to testify against you Gene!). This is just some of the crimes committed by Barry Mallen, Gene Klein, Scott Doc McGhee, Stanley Bert Eisen, Aaaron RA (a known Satanist with Bernie Flash Kellish who raped RG paid by Barry Mallen), Toni Frankivelli who threatened to shoot RG in San Diego, Monique Frehley and Jeanette Treratola, along with several (6) attorneys working with them and for them against Rachael Gordon who lived with Paul Daniel Ace Frehley. The truth is coming out whether they want it with their $500m PR machine. Bigger than Epstein and Weinstein combined Jewish boys Chaim and Stan.

Not heartfelt at all! Gene doesn't care about Ace or Peter! He just cares about money! He's never really cared about the band at all? Just money….

Gene acts mean and tough but I know why he wears those dark sunglasses because he knows God's children can see right threw his fake Ness and I pray he gives his life to Jesus as well as Paul and Peter and there families !!! Thank you Father In Jesus Wonderful Name Amen 🙏

Not likely I’m sure.

He loved him so much he couldn’t even let Ace and Peter play at the MSG farewell show. He said they declined the offer. The declined the offer because Gene and Paul wouldn’t pay them. Save the tears Gene, the only thing you love is money. R.I.P. Space Ace, you no longer have to contend with Paul and Gene.

I think it hit gene harder than it would of because he and Ace got pretty close in recent years.. a few years back gene was talking to some journalists and he made the comment that he had no friends just business partners, and Ace called him up and told him to not ever say that because he was his friend! 😢 and I think just like the grinch genes wicked little deceitful heart (hopefully not his shmeckle) grew three sizes that day… and ever since he would bring ace with him for gigs and vacation and started speaking to him more personally than before!

God Bless Ace….at least he doesn't have to stand in Trump Slime to be honored by America in this manner…Great sentiment from Gene

A more powerful tribute would have been recognizing that all 4 original members should have played they final show, no matter what it would have taken. Now it can never happen.

Why did he fall twice? There must have been a medical reason for the falls.

Him and Paul shit on Ace and Peter for years. The time to be nice and show appreciation is when they're alive and not dead. Him and Paul are trying to make more money off Ace by saying all this stuff. Lame!

😢 it's a shame they all couldn't put their larger then life egos aside so they could of at least play the last dates together or so they could of played more together through the yrs 😢😢 but he is up there with everyone else now and they are playing and jamming together having one kick ass jam session ❤❤ RIP

So sorry Ace didn't get that chance to play with KISS one last time at The Kennedy Center. R.I.P. Space Ace, you're sorely missed but your music will live on forever! You're a legend!

My dad had a saying that went: if you didn't give a shit about me while i was alive don't lie, fake, and pretend to give a shit about me when I'm dead. And that's exactly what that hypocrite scumbag gene simmons is doing he claims ace was his friend and his brother put yet refused to allow ace and peter to rejoin kiss. 🤔 SURVEY SAYS: Gene is playing it off for the cameras putting on a show and lying. I don't believe for one second his sad that ace is dead in fact gene is thrilled like paul is thrilled. Gene and paul killed kiss when they fired ace and peter because like i said before gene and paul may have founded kiss but it was ace and peter who made kiss the legendary band and rock and roll juggernaut it became.
