VIDEO: KISS Guitarist Plays National Anthem at Chiefs Game

by Joel Thorman on Oct 5, 2009 8:06 AM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Legendary KISS guitarist Ace Frehley played the national anthem prior to yesterday's Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Giants game in Arrowhead Stadium. The announcement before the game said it was the first time in NFL history he has done the national anthem for an NFL game.

You can view more videos with different angles here.

I've learned KISS fans are pretty dedicated so I imagine there were a few folks who came just for the anthem (not that I can blame them).

Judging by some of the fan reaction to this, the national anthem might have been the best part of the game.

The highlight...

of the game right there. That’s as good as it got, and about all the Chiefs fans had to cheer for.

I’ve heard in a long time.

What makes

a guitarist legendary? Ohhh I can put on makeup and dressup like a clown… Ohhh watch my singer stick out his tongue….

Predictions for 2009:

LJ runs for 1800 yards
Bowe in the pro bowl
Chiefs D finishes in the top 10 in points allowed
Chiefs 10-6

KISS is the most overrated, overblown, and overhyped rock band EVER! Sorry, KISS fans…your favorite band sucks dried shit-covered donkey balls. I don’t care how many arena shows they sell out, how much pussy they get, or how much money they make. Their music is crap. Always has been, always will be.

KISS is legendary boys. You don’t have to dig their music but they are legends. And that was a legendary rendition of our nation’s song. That is unless you guys want Patti Dipardo to sing it.
