If we dispense with labels, and we just talk about the bands, it is amazing what commonality could be found instead of the constant belittling of supposedly passe' genres. The first line of the guitar solo in "Alive" at 3:39 is Ace Frehley's first line in the "She" solo on Kiss Alive at 3:00.

If there is so much commonality then why hate Grunge? Why complain about it? Wouldn't music from 90s be an extensions of music you already like?
That guitar solo is just playing in the Blues scale. Nothing so impossible technique-wise going on there to write home about. Mike McCready's solo is about the tone when he plays, not so much the difficulty in what he is playing. And it's not all Ace's. McCready's solo also adds a little Jimi Hendrix into it too. Plus it's not even originally Ace's either. That solo can also be traced back to Robby Krieger's solo to
Five to One. And Robby probably picked up a thing or two from other guitar players around at the time too.
Pearl Jam - Alive - Guitar Solo
"She" Middle Guitar Solo: KISS Alive! Ace Frehley
The Doors - Five to One (guitar solo)
