Ace is a musician and a human being that I will absolutely love and stand behind for the rest of my life. Time proves everything and everyone, and Ace is still just as much of an enigma to me today as he was when I was a little kid growing up in the 1970's. He's the only original member of KISS that can release a new album and give me the exact same goosebumps today that he and KISS inspired in me so many years ago. One thing that always seems to get overlooked is his voice. I LOVE it when he sings. He's got one of the most sincere and believable vocal tones/styles I've ever heard from ANY singer in any band or solo effort. It's like his hero Hendrix. When Jimi sings, you absolutely, positively, 1,000% believe what he's trying to convey to you, even if it's some celestial, "out there" concept. There's really no act or attempt at imitation in Ace's voice. It is what it is. And it's absolutely GLORIOUS to me, and always will be.

I was fortunate enough to see KISS in 1978 when i was 8 years old with my older sister. Picked up a guitar right after and never looked back. I also grew up in the Bronx, and the Duckies were no joke.

Ace Frehley is awesome and the reason why myself and thousands of others picked up a guitar. Has he made mistakes in his life, yes and so has everyone. While there's always going to be people who complain or just see the bad things in people who probably don't see the bad in themselves there's hundreds of thousands and probably millions of people who love Ace Frehley and with good reason. And just think of the many now famous people who have picked up the guitar and given us so much great music we would have never had if not for Ace and his many awesome songs

​@@p_e_t_e- Even Gene admitted that Ace is a truly unique guitar player and very hard to imitate. One reason being since Ace is self taught, he was never shown how to hold a guitar pick. He holds it a certain way and that's a part of his tone. Makes total sense.

I was in 7th grade when KISS was blowing up and becoming the hottest band in the world in 1977 and 1978. When my classmates were talking about the members of the band, more often than not somebody was talking about how cool Ace was. My older sister (one year older than me) was SUCH a KISS freak that it just wasn't funny, so I had no choice but to become a fan, myself. 🙂

The 78 solo album or anything after he left KISS? They're all good, but nothing beats his 78 solo album. Paul's was good but not great. And I actually like Peter's album better than Gene's, even though he did have some winners. I guess I like Peter's album better than Gene's is because it's got Jazz influences, and I love Jazz. I'd see Jazz bands on a weekly basis in a local university auditorium before the pandemic happened. Great shows at $25.00 admission fee.

Great Video well done. I agree with most everything on here.. For clarification purposes, Ace did not audition for Wicked Lester, Wicked Lester disbanded or Gene and Paul left Wicked Lester to start something new. When Paul, Gene and Peter were a trio and started auditioning lead guitar players, The band didn’t have a new name yet. Once Ace was in the band, they were all coming up with ideas for names and Paul came up with the name KISS. Ace designed the logo..

Interesting about Ace Frehley is that he didn't have much of a formal training in guitar like he didn't really know how to read chords, scales, notes, etc. most of his early years are pretty much him doing what sounded right for him. Dude is pure personal craft. He doesn't follow any scales most were made his own pattern which is pretty cool! Love Ace and Kiss!

ACE left Kiss after the Elder. Ace refused to go to Toronto for the recording of ELDER he sent tapes with his stuff on the Elder.

I bought Dressed to Kill the day it released. But 1983 was the last year I followed Kiss. When the original lineup broke up, my interest did too. I still listen to Kiss, but just their first few albums.

Ace Frehley is a great player, his style n sound is his only, he plays the perfect solos for the song, no one sounds like him or bends the notes like him, he has a natural tremolo n can hold the notes like no one else, he is an investor n a icon.

Happened to see ACE & Frehley's Comet in '87 open for Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of A Seventh Son in Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth,Tx. I can't remember the title of his second effort, but he was clean & sober and real good.
