Always did have trouble walking he even had an album with that title..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kishinoyama 625 Posted October 18 My favorite member of KISS. The interview that KISS did back in 1979 with Tom Snyder is a must see if you are an Ace fan. Ace had been drinking before the interview (no surprise there) and was having a blast during the interview. Gene was fuming. Paul was confused. Peter Criss was along for the ride and enjoying watching Gene and Paul squirm. It should be noted that Ace stated that he had been sober since 2006 and I believe that he was. He was unsteady on his feet the last couple of years and after all, he was 74. Anyway, here is a link to the video: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andreas21 221 Posted Monday at 15:39 (edited) As bandmate's Gene Simmons stage moves are reported to be inspired by Ymir, this Video of the original movie brings us back to Sumo with several bouts. Ymirs favourite winning technique is apparently Uwatenage, while the elephant goes for straight Yorikiri. The final szene, however, shows the lacking Hinkaku of the Ymir. This Dame oshi even relegates Hakuyozan's to second place. Edited Monday at 15:42 by Andreas21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a pre-teen, I was mesmerized. Looking back, I realize how silly the whole thing was. That didn’t keep me from watching it again though. A couple of interesting things about the movie. Other sources and Ace say that Peter’s voice was dubbed in the movie (although he denies this). Also, one scene clearly shows Ace’s stunt double taking his place. Ace got into an argument with the director and left the set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
