Why was Ace Frehly kicked out of Kiss?

Answer 1

Ozzy was basically kicked out of Black Sabbath because he was too busy getting wasted on various drugs and was unable to, in the other bandmates' opinion, fully commit to the band's creative process. During some gigs, he would not be able to remember lyrics and had to improv them. I believe that it was really Tony Iommi that wanted him out the most, and Ozzy was soon asked to leave. Later, Ozzy said that he was grateful for leaving Sabbath, but at the time he locked himself away in a hotel room and continually got wasted until Sharon told him to form a new band. He found Randy Rhoads and the second chapter of his musical career began.

Also, there was mutual disenchantment going on. Ozzy's heart was no longer in Sabbath, he felt Iommi was being dictatorial, he'd quit once already, the band as a whole weren't getting on so well anymore.

Answer 2

Dave was a HEAVY drinker and was more worried about partying than the music. He wasn't taking Metallica as seriously as the others were. Also, Dave wanted to take Metallica in a different direction than Lars and James had planned. I'm personally glad they did. I prefer Kirk better, and Dave has certainly served justice in Megadeth. If I'm wrong, correct me.

-This is a different guy. But I was told by one of my friends that is a big die hard fan of Metallica, that they kicked him because he wiped his butt with a towel or something on one of their tour's...idk

You are wrong and I will correct you. Dave may have been a heavy drinker, but as far as more worried about partying than music, that is a huge lie, he always

managed to be together enough to write and play music, which is miraculous

considering he was an addict at the time. He is always serious about what

ever he is involved in at the time, even back when he was still on drugs. As far

as you preferring Kirk to Dave, there is no comparison, Mustaine blows Kirk out

of the water. They only thing you are correct about is Dave serving justice in

Megadeth. As tragically as it all happened, we are all glad they drove Dave away, he outshines Hetfield and Ulrich creatively and technically.

I just read Dave Mustaine's autobiography, which came out last year. He cites a specific incident as being the impetus for his leaving the band. The incident supposedly involved an altercation between Mustaine and Hetfield, over Mustaine's dog causing damage to a vehicle, Hetfield hitting the dog and Mustaine coming unglued as a result.

It probably did not help that they met Kirk Hammett and had to pick between the two. I agree, though, that Mustaine is a phenomenal musician, but both guitar players have their merits. The only problem, from what I've heard and read, is that Mustaine likes to call the shots and would never be happy being told what to do. (He left home at 15)

Answer 3

Ace Frehley was not fired. He left on his own. Frehley was a drug addict and had any icy relationship with the band, so he left. He also wasn't happy with the musical direction KISS was going into. Frehley also quoted that he hated the album, Music From the Elder so badly, he smashed the cassette into a wall.

Answer 4

He wasnt kicked he quit himself he didnt like the direction where the band was going. They tried hard to get him to stay especially paul stanely.

Answer 5

Vinnie had a bad relationship with the band. In concerts during his solo, he would go much longer than he was supposed to, leaving the band impatiently waiting on stage for him to finish.
