Guitar Tales Special: Ace Frehley

Ace joins Scott and Dave to talk about his new album "10,000 Volts", touring, starting out, and of course, his history with Kiss!

[@officialacefrehley]

🤘 Thanks for having me guys

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

It was a great conversation Ace! Just 3 guys hanging out and chatting. 🤘

[@Starman2112ofKings]

Thanks Ace. Great to hear and see you doing so well and obviously enjoying what’s going on with your life. Also fun to hear about your younger years, and stories. Keep rocking Ace!!!

Ace, the legend.

A true old school rock and roller

[@Darth.Shredder]

Ace is a living legend and inspired countless people to pick up a guitar. The most refreshing thing about him is that despite his success, he knows his limitations. He's obviously very proud but modest at the same time. I think he'd be happier if he let go of the Gene/Paul drama. His fans know the deal.

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

Agreed. Seems like he’s in a better place mentally.

[@toddmorrissey8372]

There's not an ounce of modesty in that man's make up.

[@Darth.Shredder]

@@toddmorrissey8372 You sound upset. Who hurt you?

[@williamsherman1089]

​@@toddmorrissey8372he stopped wearing makeup when he left KISS...........yuk, yuk, yuk!

[@williamsherman1089]

He's always been a lovable ol' geezer lol

Very awesome interview! ⚡️space ace ron ⚡️

[@Timothy-b5g]

Thank for the inspiration rock on 😊

[@JudgeFredd]

Great !

[@magnusbnordh9624]

Great. !

[@cecilmusick8629]

Ace has it backwards saying he doesen't use the bridge pickup, the bridge pickup is all he uses.

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

Funny we hadn’t noticed but you’re right. Honestly, we probably wouldn’t have corrected Ace because well, he’s Ace!

[@Jeff-o-Lee]

He said the same thing on another interview unless, I was watching a short of this interview. Ace has 3 humbuckers & only the bridge pickup in engaged. I tell you what though, Ace has the best vibrato as a rock guitarist. Or in the top 5. Very musical.

[@ecilassik]

Great interview.

[@user-onpointe]

Goggles, I'm still tryin to figure out how to use tv

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

I’m trying to figure out to spring for 3 grand on that when I can’t justify buying another guitar. Lol

[@StaceyWard-z4s]

I know why he wrote the song trouble walking, cause he does!

[@metaphoria3]

All Ace does is interviews theze daze god bless him

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

He told us he’s done 250. Crazy!

[@metaphoria3]

@@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen what a legend

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

For our interview, we tried to make the show about Ace. We didn’t ask any Kiss questions. If Kiss came up, it’s because he brought it up.

[@StacyDeVille]

9:30 great pic of Tommy Thayer!

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

Oh no! Welp. If it is, he’s wearing Aces makeup.

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

@@StacyDeVille The purpose of the pic was to show the lighted guitar for New York Groove. We blame Google.

[@kasperc7941]

The rocket shooting pic is Tommy. He was in KISS for over 20 years wearing Ace's makeup.

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

@@kasperc7941 Ah ok. That makes more sense.

[@whataboutrob442]

​@@kasperc7941 Just proves the point that no one really cares if Ace is in Kiss.

[@shannon5373]

Whomever Ace's handlers and hangers-on are need to tell Ace to give it up. He's spending his last days embarrassing himself and tarnishing his legacy. He's a degenerate!

[@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen]

Definitely not “his last days”. His new album is solid. There are many older rockers still doing it and we commend them. Sure they are not as polished as they once were, but we’ll take tarnished over some super over produced, AI, lip syncing, autotuned new artists.

[@laracove3686]

Aaawww You sound bitter

[@whataboutrob442]

​@@GuitarTaleswithDaveCohen Ace didn't write the music. His producer did. Except one of the tracks.

[@RandyW-sp5zw]

Ace is a legend! Wait till you get 72 . Ace can play circle's around you at 72 ! Listen and learn 😁🇨🇦

[@shannon5373]

@@RandyW-sp5zw Dude, Taylor Swift packs arenas and Ace can barely sell out 5 thousand seat venues. His latest album won't even make a blip on the radar screen. I saw him last summer in Kokomo Ind for the 7th time since 1987 and he barely knew his name, where he was, what song they were playing and slurs his words. And the only reason why anyone showed up is cause it was a free concert. He's played the same set list for the last 30yrs. People were leaving way before he was done. Eric Clapton is still way ahead of Ace in terms of cognitive ability and he's older to. Ace has swindled his career away and totally lives in the past. Go ahead and continue to worship a has been.
