Best Kiss Guitarist

[ontherhoads]

definately ace. you just can't beat his licks

[J.L.]

I guess Paul....
weird.
he's just hung in there and written so many great songs

[Beatles Freak]

Ace

[Mrmunchhead]

Bruce Kulick.

He's a no nonesense right kind o' Guy who was underrated in KISS in my opinion

[KISSguitarist]

Bruce Kulick is brilliant. Underrated to extinction .

But my favourite is Ace. There's nothing like the real thing.

[nikopapp]

I voted for Bruce, because as an overall guitar player, he blows away the others IMO.
However, Ace will always be the true KISS guitarist.

I dont think Bob really wanted to do it, plus as far as looks go he wasn't really a fit. Also he always said Bruce should be in the band anyway.

I'm gonna go with Bruce here too, I love Aces playing, hell it really inspired me but as I'm more into post makeup kiss stuff (and you cant compare non makeup to makeup stuff) I have to say Bruce.

I wish they would tour without the makeup, lose the Ace replica and take Bruce and Eric back on the road again.

BTW Eric only did one album, well two if you count Carnival of Souls....WELL THREE if you count psycho circus lol

Eric Carr was great but I didnt like his drum sound which put me off a lot of his recordings.

I always thought that Eric was a better drummer then Singer his solos are amazing. I bet that if Eric didn't die he would still be in the band today.

[GrooveyTigerrr]

Theres no doubt Eric would still be there had he not died, but Eric (2) was a great replacement and a great guy. Carr's solos were fantastic when he would play along with the pads, like I said I just dont like his drum sound (i used to be a drummer, formed the ideal sound in my head already lol)

But back on topic, BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE! lol
Watching the raw alive 3 footage as we speak actually lol

I voted for Bruce. I became a fan of the band in the '80's and worked backwards. Just a great and versatile player. Check out one of his first bands "KKB". They are very cool.

Bruce is a great guitarist. He is right next to Ace but ace just has more...? Jazz?

[beeblesaurus]

I've heard people describe Ace as sloppy...I wouldn't call him that at all. Jazz....he certainly does have a more "free" sounding approach then Bruce. I love 'em both though

For you to call him Jazz that is shocking. By the way i personally think that he plays anything that comes into mind and when he plays exactly right he doesn't enjoy it and have the emotion in his playing as he does when he plays the first thing that comes into mind.

[beeblesaurus]

I using your anaology of "Jazz" and applying to Ace's style in comparison to Bruce's. Ace's is more "jazz"...by that I mean free form and fluid than Bruce...By no means would I consider Ace to be a jazz player!!! I don't drink that much!!!
