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.

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..

Thank you SO much for what was a factual video I have personal footage from when Ace toured in 2015 on my other hardly ever used KZitem channel 'william broadstreet'. Tragically at the time I had bought a brand new camera for Ace's gig and the sound quality, especially on a song Ace rarely plays "Toys" is quite bad, but hey I was there. That the band tour with Thayer, a guitar player the number of serious guitarists in the industry that actually 'rate' Thayer I bet would be 0 - it is just tragic Paul's ego and arrogance has destroyed the bond, and the connection with the 'real KISS Army'. How anyone can pay to see a KISS hanger on, former KISS cover band guitar player wearing Ace's make up, and one time Gene's personal assistant in Thayer, who in what can only be described as an act of bastardly Gibson put out a 'Thayer' limited edition Les Paul, well the entire show is a fraud, putting Paul's fraudulent claims he does not use backing vocals when anyone with eyes can see he is a liar but again his ego imo makes Gene's look small. Stanley has always said to the fans "we love you people without you we'd be nothing" - yet HE refuses to entertain giving we fans what we want with one final gig with Ace in the band says to me so much about Stanley as a person, Gene's always been pussy whipped by Paul, but shame on him too. Only a few months ago a music journalist asked Thayer what it was like to be imitating Ace and did Tommee lose it or what - despite Thayer bragging quote "I think the fans accept me" - well sure so many people still insult their own intelligence to pay to see what is a fraud - but deep down Thayer knows not only is he a fraud, he is NOT rated within the industry not is he rated or regarded by his guitar musical peers. Ace still bends like no other, his vibrato sublime - but today, his health and substance use as he openly admits in his autobiography unlike Paul who's NEVER been wrong has taken a toll - but when you go and see Ace live he has nights when he is 'on' - and when he is not 'on'. But hey - I'll pay to see this icon until I am on the other side of the grass. Thanks again - wonderfully informative upload mate.

As Duch descendant, why should he collect Nazi stuff from the historical German enemy? I also read, Duch immigrants BROUGHT Ace's parents with them to the US. However, Ace is from "space".

@Bommermann I would add, without Paul and Gene doing business and hard work we would never have heard of KISS!

Santa brought me Kiss Alive 2 when I was a kid. I listened to it over and over on my parents record player with those huge headphones and I was truly transported there. " We gonna turn the microphone over to Ace Frehley! SHOCK ME!!!" Yea he was my favorite.

You didn't research this very well. The Reunion tour did not go from 1996-2001. It was 96-97, and the Farewell tour went from 2000-2001. In between those tours was the Psycho Circus tour of 1998. Also, Peter Criss did not sing lead vocals on "Into the Void." Ace sang it, and Criss played drums.

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.

Who is Ace? A lead guitarist who was incredible until 1982, whose playing slowly declined since, due ro being fried from drugs, alcohol, and, most of all, pure laziness. He's a celebrity that charges people 500 bucks to sign some stuff, while complaining about everything from the just played show, creating a very awkward meet and greet. Finally, a guy who is late for everything and doesn't appreciate or value his fans that hand him money to go through the motions, make mistakes playing live all the time and being generally uncaring. Thats who Ace Frehley is.

Can't argue with any of that as I have no personal experience with him, but more often than not the experience you are describing happens with our heroes. Sucks to have the bubble burst, but I hang onto what he means to me as a musical inspiration. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!

How much better wouldnt it be if he didnt ruin his Kiss career with alcohol? ...Or his new career after he left the group, he would have had a great run of his own

So a few corrections, you mentioned Psycho circus came out after the tour but it sounds like 2001 is when u said it was recorded and it was in fact recorded and released in 1998 also Peter didnt sing on into the void its the only song he played drums on on the whole album and the only song With all four, but Ace sang it

Ace is definetly my idol in the guitar world......he's the first guitarist tfor the band kiss, and had soo much skill later his career took on a solo band frehley comet....... he was not the richest or brightest kid growing but that's not what this is about at all its his legacy his skill his tone his skill his space Persona he carries to this day his outcast style from the original kiss line up........just like most guitarist really slim long hair curious kid that rock the world and nation period

IF Blackie was ever a Ducky, it was well after Ace was gone. They never met until the late 70's in LA. Actually, I think Blackie spouting this back in the early WASP days was just looking for added publicity. Also, Wicked Lester did NOT exist when Ace auditioned, or even when Peter Criss auditioned - that band was over, completely "disbanded" and Gene & Paul were assembling a new ("heavier") band, and once Ace & Peter were "in"...it was a band, who then all decided to call it KISS. Sorry guy, too many errors and rumors-as-fact stuff in this video for me to watch the rest of it...

Ace's last name is pronounced "frelly," like belly, NOT freely! Listen to the way Ace pronounces it in the song "Rock Soldiers," by Frehley's Comet, the band he started after he left KISS ("Hey, Frehley, Frehley, let's not be silly. There's a life out there to steal!"). Also, Paul Stanley pronounces it correctly during "Shock Me," on Alive II: "Ace Frehley, lead guitar! Shock Me!"
