In 1973 when Ace tried out for Kiss he showed up at the audition wearing one red show and on orange show.Gene and Paul looked at Ace, when he walked into the audition and thought a bum had walked in off the streets.Little did they know the bum was a very gifted guitar player.Finally when Gene Paul Peter and Ace plugged in and started playing something magical happened.No matter what Gene and Paul thought of the bum with the guitar case they knew that Ace was what kiss needed to give them that kick ass sound they needed. Ace is definently SpaceAce,and I'm proud to say that Ace is my favorite member of Kiss.
