Ace Frehley - 'Spaceman', Women, Firing Band Members - Jim Norton & Sam Roberts

Ace is too honest, he's not polished like other artists, despite being around a lot longer than most. But thats what makes him special, and still liked by so many millions of fans.

[@MarioFlores-so2nw]

Ace has the best laughter in the music scene !

[@Pun2404]

He’s a national treasure, he’ll always be my favorite member of KISS, for whatever reason I identify with his personality and journey the most.

[@sjs1555]

So you snorted and drank your talent into a dumpster as well?

[@WutangBizkit]

Ace is a legend, he is without a doubt the most talented original member of kiss. he’s inspired everybody nd for the 70s his style was very unique

[@picassoboy52]

youre on crack, the success of the band was never due to a single member, ace didnt start the band, he played the songs the other guys wrote, and in the end ruined his chances to be on stage with them right now. He and peter chose booze and drugs over the band and the fans and still dont give a shit. Peter is still farting into his sofa cushions in new jersey wondering wtf happened. Im a fan as much as the next guy, but he didnt inspire "everybody"

[@pseudosun]

Ace's delivery and timing is as good as top comics. Love that guy.

[@whataboutrob442]

No its nothing like that

[@sjs1555]

Lol WHAT? You are NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[@ManeeVaughn]

This is my favorite Ace Frehley interview ever! I watch it over and over again.

[@MaryAnneRosato]

I could listen to Ace all day. He's so cool and so real.

[@mikejripley1738]

Ace is also why I started playing

[@dashcan8479]

Gene Simmons assaulted and molested Rachael Gordon. Ace did not see it at that moment. It happened at Capitol Record in a hallway and then a side room. Rachael told Ace about it and he screamed at her not to say anything about it (saying shut your "Jew mouth") and then a weekend later in San Diego, Gene came to write 2 songs with Ace and invited Rachael Gordon to write with them, Ace yelled 'no' knowing Gene was a sexual deviant and then 2hrs later while Ace was watering Avocado Trees he committed sexual Battery on Rachael. We have now found out in 08' when Rachael was first dating Ace that Gene followed her in Hollywood as a jewish woman and he came to their apt when Ace was on the road and propositioned her numerous times. Ace screams at Rachael not to disclose all this with the rationale that it would destroy any chance he had to rejoin Kiss. He was publiclly saying on the net at that time he was wanting to rejoin and was waiting for the Kiss management to contact him. 4 months go by and Ace does nothing about the assault. Then he read the comment where Gene said - "no fucking way would Ace be trusted to join Kiss." Then he exploded and brings out the Rachael assault by Gene. Then he says the gloves are off. Later when he is brought onto the Kiss Kruise, he claims that Rachaels story was fake. It was not fake. Gene has assaulted and molested numerous women over the years. Rachael is a victim of an assault. Now Ace has left Rachael Gordon like an Islamic wife and claimed she is the problem. Guess what? Your so called heros are not what you think. Gene and Ace will both be held criminally and civilly accountable and liable. It gets even worse, he cost Rachael Gordon thousands of dollars in damages and he even ruined her credit and ID not allowing her to possess money, credit cards or any bank accounts. He is a pathological liar covering up for Gene Simmons. And they threatened her to keep quiet and forced several NDA's on her. #supportRachael

@Necramonium No you are the punk liar who kisses Genes ass. How come you never reveal your identity?

[@guitarnerd2004]

WOW! What A GREAT GUEST! Finally a rock star who talks about anything and is completely honest. Please back more often! Great interviewers!

[@robinlove2729]

[@jokerjack2913]

Ace is the man!!!! Really cool. But as much as I love him, he's deaf

[@84jbones]

Ace is one of the boys

[@spiralflash6169]

Ace is such a sweet guy honestly trying to answer all these rude and asinine personal questions, and still being funny and entertaining on top of it!

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

I know, he makes it clear it disturbs him to talk about being subbed out on guitar solos, because he knows it was HIS fault for being a tosspot, and these murgatroyds keep pushing the questions at him. When he talks about those fans that come up to him drunk and he pushes them away - these guys are exactly that! They sound like 10-year-olds being pushed in his face by their moms at a meet-and-greet and not knowing what to say except the stupidest things.

[@olliecrow3547]

Ace is awesome! Met him at a meet and greet and he was totally cool. So glad he’s been clean and sober for years and has been putting out great music. He really seems happy and healthy. Go Ace!👍🏻👩‍🚀🎸⚡️

[@oiyabastard7275]

All I got to say is the guitar solo on Doctor love is an abstract piece of art masterpiece

[@Chicken_Wing91]

Strange ways solo

[@Chicken_Wing91]

One thing i find ironic from reading aces book is it starts out with the story his dad tells him about almost being electrocuted and how fate plays a role then you cut to Florida in 76 and ace is electrocuted from touching the bars on the stage and almost dies! But the events led to him writing one of the greatest kiss songs “shock me” and ace singing vocals

[@ProphetTLK]

This interview is hilarious. God bless Ace Frehley man, he's so cool.

[@herold30]

ACE ...Tom Snyders Tomorrow Show....Ace Laughter is the best laughter ever ...I never forget this ;o)))

[@champagneproblemz]

[@olliecrow3547]

Yep. Both these guys seems like douchebags.

Living legend. There is so many quotables in this interview, hilarious. Ace was the Rock n roll in Kiss. Love him, Dani

[@whataboutrob442]

He was the slop in Kiss

[@Errcyco]

Ace had a cool outlook. When they asked about how he felt on his time in kiss in like 1985 he said "I got paid to dress up as a superhero and play my guitar and be around beautiful women" dude wasn't serious.. I imagine Paul HATED that lol.

[@Draggo-zp1jf]

[@guymangotree2185]

"After 12 years sober I can read a clock" LMAO

[@neilouellette3004]

Even if he hurts someone or not, Ace tells the truth. Doesn't sugar coat anything. Gene doesn't sugar coat anything as well but sometimes it's hard to believe if he's honest or not. That's a big difference right there.

[@god6384]

Ace is so awesome

[@willchew4040]

ACE FOREVER!!!!!

[@kevinleonard2368]

KISS replaced Ace's solo on "Sweet Pain" from the DESTROYER album. They didn't like it so they had a session player do it instead. KISS released the original version of "Sweet Pain" with Ace's original solo recently.

[@KingdomComeClark]

The version of Sweet Pain with Ace's solo is awesome!!!

[@markpr73]

Yeah, and there’s a good reason they replaced it... it was garbage!

[@GrayWoIf]

Aces solo sounds like a demo it's unfinished

[@johnmarshall3903]

Great expectations was the other song. Big deal, there both lame songs anyway.

[@JokersWild70]

​@@markpr73 Ace said as much, and that he'd come back and work on it. I really think they did that to punish him for bailing out to go to his card game. It's not like they were done recording and getting ready to mix the record. He still had plenty of time to come back to that solo, but again, it was a punishment
