Нечий коментар: "The fact that he died with only one million, and Simmons (Witz - б.м.) - one of the richest in the business shows something is deeply perverted in the band's leadership."
"Ace played lead guitar, but had no control over finances or branding. Internally, he was seen as an outsider in the group, but being fully present in projects and visuals. From the very beginning Ace was dissatisfied with Paul (Eisen - б.м.) and Gene's (Witz's - б.м.) management of the group. During many song discussions, he was often left out of the song selection, and composition process. This situation lasted for many years, leading him to withdraw from the band for the first time. The problem did not stop after he left the group. The remaining members of Kiss continued without Ace, using The Spaceman image he created for his successor. Replacing personnel, but keeping the logo built by others, was strongly opposed by Ace. Ace did not reunite with the group on many important occasions, but being asked. The invitations were rejected due to lack of transparency about the division of roles. One of his demands was the right to control his own guitar parts if he returned to the stage, something that the organizers of major shows did not accept. Ace repeatedly stated that he was unhappy with being called lazy or unprofessional in Gene's (Witz's - б.м.) interviews. 'If I were really lazy, I wouldn't have a series of solo albums and solo tours for the past 20 years.' Another part of the discord stemmed from musical direction. While Ace wanted to maintain the original Rock style, the group had shifted to a more commercial direction in the late 70s. The arrangement image choices and marketing strategy no longer fit his musical philosophy. 'They wanted Kiss to be a product, I wanted it to be a band.' Mentally, Ace always felt like the only one not in the executive system, but being one of the 4 founders. He once compared himself to a contributor to a house, but not the one with the keys. The constant travelling, high intensity work, and the simmering conflicts within the group made the situation worse. Years later, Ace admitted to using stimulants almost every day in the late 70s and early 80s." - Iconic Figures, YouTube, Oct. 18, 2025 (link).
