Save your love is my favourite ace tune and I don't think he ever played it live.

SAVE YOUR LOVE is a great, great tune. It shows that Ace was the only guy that had his head on straight...musically speaking. He knew the kind of music that they should be making and didn't cave into the disco influence.

Gene and Paul always talk about how IWMFLY was KISS's biggest selling song. Sure it made a LOT of money but the impact it had on their fanbase, record sales and concert attendance AFTERWARDS certainly wasn't worth it. They never regained their status.

I will always love everything about the Dynasty era because I will always retain that 7-year-old-kid-nostalgia... I wasn't a disgruntled, disco-hating teenager at the time but I can see how it turned off long-time KISS fans.

Guess I was one of the millions of kiddie fans who killed KISS... :twisted:

Yeah, also I think because he seemed to have just found his feet writing shock me he may have not felt ready to change as quickly as kiss... Funny thing about ace in those early 80s demos after he left kiss he did some Duran duran hall and oates influenced stuff while kiss were doing young and wasted and not for the innocent.

I always thought Ace's pre-Comet demos sounded like he was trying to be Steve Miller...kinda Abbra-Abbra-Caddabbra feeling. It was still more "rock" than the disco of Dynasty, but I get your point about how hypocritical it was for him to bitch about the musical direction of G&P and then do all those demos that aren't really hard or heavy.
