Alive or Alive II

[JTM45]

What is Aces best work?

I love Alive but the whole vibe on Alive II is spectacular, his playing seems a bit better and his tone is brilliant.

.

both!!

I don't see why they would get back on the plain after the first one crashed.
Eating people the first time around would be enough for me.

Yep, especially on Larger Than Life, All American Man and Rockin' In The USA

I'd say Alive! bests Alive II. II had girly tunes like Christine Sixteen and Ladies Room, Rocket Ride - still good songs of course, but the music was more raw on ! than II, although II was arguably a better live show. I also thought Ace's tone on II was way to bright - too much presence, and his solo wasn't as cool as the one on ! in She. The whole band was more Pop, much more commercial by II.

But, they're both legendary albums. As for III? Bargain bin material in my opinion. I don't even know what band that was, but it was a hard rock band given over to the sickening 90's acoustic trend.

Live sound on Alive II was terrible. And aside from Rocket Ride, the studio tracks eat a$$. Alive for the win.

 

[JTM45]

Lol I saw III once, kept walking

The tattoos packaged with the Alive II double album were the coolest thing when I was a kid. Geez, I was nine when it came out.

I think a lot of the Alive II vibe for me is the nostalgia of that era in Kiss time, they had reached a pinnacle and graced magazine cover after cover, midnight special and Don Kirshners rock concert. It was a good time to be alive as a young kid or teen, all I ever wanted was to be Ace and now I'm glad I wasn't lol.

 

[bulletproof]

As much as I liked II, Alive! had Parasite,Cold Gin,Black Diamond,She....that to me is the clear winner,y'all!! Ole Ace was just tearing it up.....

The whole idea of cannibalism is beyond my comprehension...

Finding yourself stuck 11,000' up a mountain with nothing but snow for a month+ could change one's perspective.

you've just not been hungry enough.
i'd crack a monkey skull in a heartbeat if it was all that was left on the menu!

 

[J-Dizzle]

The guitar tones on Alive! are way better

It helps that the guitars were dubbed in afterwards

 

[bungle]

There was an Alive 3? Both 1&2 are great.

 

[donlumber]

Alive 1. I don't care if it was dubbed.
