Guitarist Ace Frehley believes former Kiss’ bandmates’, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley’s new plans are going to fail.

In a new conversation with the Metal Voice, Frehley shared his thoughts about the new Kiss avatars:

“I had already committed to leaving the group, and I started looking for band members and stuff and jamming with other people. It was just too late.

”I had already made the decision because, you know, I could never trust those guys (Gene and Paul). I don’t know what hair-brain scheme they come up with. […]

“I mean, if I was still in the band, I would have never agreed to do these avatars. Something maybe kids would enjoy, but I don’t think a long-time Kiss fan is going to enjoy that stuff.

”I wish them well, like I said, good luck, but you know, in my humble opinion, I don’t think it’s going to be a successful endeavor.”
