Yearly Required St. Patrick’s Day Post: Rock Stars Drinking Beer
Rock stars. They’re just like you and me. Especially on this, the most sacred day of booze worship, St. Patrick’s Day. I usually don’t post on Sunday, but I thought this collection of some of my favorite rock stars enjoying their hooch seemed like the least I could do before I get drunk myself.
Lemmy Kilmister. The master of all things vice photographed without his usual Jack Daniels.
The Ramones keep it classy with beer and pinball.
Bon Scott and his trusty oil can.
Alice Cooper and Keith Moon.
David Bowie and Paul Simonon of The Clash, 1982.
Joe Strummer, 1981. Photo by Lisa Haun.
Tom Waits.
Nick Cave and a dead soldier. Photographed in London by Christian Castelnuovo.
I can’t tell which Keith Richards likes better. Patti Hansen, or his Heineken.
Joan Jett proves that it is in fact possible to look cool while drinking a Michelob, with a safety pin holding up your fly.
Axl Rose and a beer in 2001.
Michael Jackson was a Bud Man. Who knew?
Iggy Pop backstage, post-show. Featured in the book called The Moment After the Show
Iggy and Blondie. Two greats made better with beer.
I
Ace Frehley, double fisted.
Tankard getting tanked.
And if you’re headed out to celebrate today, or you’ve been out since 8 AM (I’m talking to you, Boston), say away from anything that involves you behind the wheel of a car. Or a bike. Or a tractor. Have fun calling in “sick” tomorrow!

I Want Kandy! KISS Pez
Limited Edition KISS Pez. Comes in collectable silver tin.
How KISS Pez never existed before now is kind of baffling. But since KISS marketing leaves no stone unturned, KISS Pez are now a thing. If you’re a hardcore KISS fan, you will notice that The Spaceman has now officially morphed into not Ace Frehley guitarist, Tommy Thayer. Which is a bummer. KISS Pez come in a reusable metal gift tin and Amazon.com has them now for $20.

Smashed Spaceman: A Hilarious Montage Of Ace Frehley Drunk On TV
Ace Frehley, forever member of KISS, comedian, and loveable drunk.
I literally “stumbled” on this after watching some newly released footage of KISS’s historic appearance on the Tom Snyder Show in 1979. Ace was off his rocker drunk, and Gene was visibly pissed. The montage above has some of the Snyder show “high” lights, as well as some other choice moments that Ace might not remember.

Ace Frehley Ski Mask FTW
Ace Frehley ski mask. $16.95.
This Ace Frehley ski mask won’t make you smart like Ace, but it’s still pretty metal. Bonus? The Ace mask also comes in a “flaming eyes” design.
And yes, they also come in Gene, Peter Criss, or Starchild styles.

Ace Frehley: “Paul Stanley Has The Lowest IQ Of All The Members Of Kiss”
I’m the smart one!
In an interview in the newest issue of Classic Rock Magazine, former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley said that Paul Stanley is the least intelligent member of Kiss. According to an IQ test the members took back in the day. Says Ace…
Kiss once took an IQ test, and I was on top. I guess my brain was working good that morning – thank God for good genes. I think Paul got the lowest score. No, that didn’t surprise me. A frontman doesn’t have to be a genius, he just has to have the right moves.
Ace says he has an IQ of 163, and most people fall between the 70-130 range, which begs the question, why isn’t Ace one of the lifetime members of Mensa? But it’s not like I don’t agree with him. Especially after Stanley’s comments about Patti Smith earlier this week. Because anyone hates on Patti Smith is stupid. Duh. Unfortunately, just as I was applauding Frehey’s timely Stanley diss, Ace went on to detail his concern for the the upcoming End of the World Day on December 12th, 2012:
The sun has an 11-year cycle and it’s coming towards an end, so they’re expecting more sun-spot activity, solar winds and solar flares that could affect computers and power grids. Some planets are aligning, from what I understand, so that could cause an earthquake and severe weather. So a lot of crazy of things could happen.
Well, they don’t call him “Space Ace” for nothing!

Very Metal KISS ‘The Demon’ Robot By Funko
Kiss ‘The Demon’ Robot by Funko.$39.00.
Score another win for Washington State toy maker, Funko, and their every growing army of KISS inspired collectables. Mecha Gene was the first Kiss member to be immortalized as a 1970′s retro Japanese-style robot by Funko, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing Android Space Ace, Robo Star Child, and Cyborg Cat very soon.
