It was not a robot! There was a guy inside! In 1982 I worked at the hotel, the band was staying at and actually bought football padding equipment for the guy in the „costume“! Maiden were playing Düsseldorf with Trust supporting. The guys name was Joey DeCurzio and I remember shopping downtown with „Big John“ Harte. After the show, I took Steve, Adrian and Dave to a Hard Rock place in the Altstadt, called the „Litfaß“! We met Doro Pesch there and I introduced her the band! Yeah… these we‘re the good times!

He was quite wasted that night. The blonde haired singer in frehleys comet kept gesturing that ace was drunk. It was very funny to watch.

Hey Gene, I was a full time musician and jingle writer too. I also write songs. I had to sue in the 80s and it made me furious that judges don’t understand intellectual property. I won but it took forever and was so stressful. Wasn’t Ace Frehley, that must have put even more pressure on you. Like you I’m a successful graphic designer, you are spot on that songwriting and graphics are the same mental process. People like us see the end result then figure out how to get there.

Sounds like Ace did the guy wrong. But let's not forget that Ace was completely wasted in the 80s. "Second Coming" was a difficult album to produce because Ace wasn't much help due to chemical influences (Eddie Trunk tells this story since he worked for the label at the time). So I'm not surprised if on Monday he thought he came up with a riff or song somebody showed him on Sunday. He barely knew where he was most of the time. I'm not making an excuse for him, just saying it doesn't surprise me in the least.

That Frehley’s Comet/Iron Maiden tour was my first big concert at 13 years old. Met Ace not long after at an in-store appearance he made in Danbury CT not long after. He was completely wasted. Ace is the reason I picked up the guitar and I love him but I felt let down when I met him and he’s greeting fans in that condition. Later I understood better. Listening to this guy’s story reminds me of that obviously. I’ve had bits of songs stolen from me occasionally but luckily nothing ever happened like what happened to Gene here. Honestly I think he was a bit naive to expect much to come of whatever loose, one-or-two-time collaboration he had with Ace. Live and learn, I guess

Here the short-story: Dude completes and works up a song demo based off an Ace riff , completely on-spec. Demo gets played for Ace who gives a neutral but noncommittal 'pretty good' response; but then, Ace moves the whole situation away from talking of the demo and working together, and Ace, causally steers Dude away from the real purpose of the meeting - potentially working together on material - to just knocking around on guitars, and then, Dude is moved further away to the pool table, and then, further away and finally out the door. This is called: The Art of Gentle Disengagement. Here's the bottom-line: after hearing a sample of Dude's writing, obviously Ace was not interested in working with Dude, or, Dude wouldn't be shooting pool and ending up with a phone number that doesn't work for Ace. If Dude was more savvy as to what constitutes a "fast embrace" in business, and, what constitutes a "Let me slowly and gently move you out the door." rejection, it would become obvious to him that Ace was not interested after hearing the demo. The difference between Ace and Ozzy is that Ozzy will come right out and say "it's not working out, see you."; whereas, many people, like Ace, can't bring themselves to be that cut and dry about their feelings of working with someone - so, they resort to tactics which: distract, diffuse, and disengage gently and slowly. Dude should have simply asked himself this question: "If this guy wants to work with me on developing his material, why do I have a pool cue in my hand, instead of a pen, a sheet of notation paper, and a tape with other riffs from this guy?" Hard lessons learnt the hard way, gentle or rough, sucks either way.

A few years ago he played the county center and said yeah just outside on the Bronx River parkway was the incident that lead to rock soldiers. BTW the song Insane has credits listed as written by Ace Frehley and Gene Moore. So what's the problem? He's got the credit on the song. To think ace would take you under his wing is laughable. Ace from my understanding, uses people for the moment and moves on. All you have to do is pay attention to what's gone on around him. Many have done way more with Ace than this guy and have out of nowhere been banished. I don't know of a Derrick who toured with ace as a guitarist. In the 80s it was Richie Scarlett.

Dude looks older than Ace, sure Ace wears a hairpiece but this guy must've had a rough life or something. There's usually two sides to a story (or a coin!) with the truth usually somewhere in the middle. Would like to hear the other side before forming judgement. Have no reason to believe this guy's claim as nobody has ever mentioned it over the years. Plus his timeframes are out of whack which put his credibility into question. Fresh out of Kiss? Ace had to legally sit out 4 years due to signing the KISS contract, he had Frehley's Comet going with Richie Scarlett in '85 & Todd Howarth replaced him in late '86. Howarth played on 'Second Sighting'. Also, the Bryan Adams album mentioned was called 'Reckless' for the record. Not buying this guy's story at all, unless he can prove his claim.

Ace was particularly bad around this time. Didn't write much for that album, his band really carried him

Well, we do think highly of ourself don’t we, Gene. Thinking you would tour with Ace or whatever, every single person knows that’s not how it works. Every single person knows that any IP (intellectual property) of ANY SORT, needs to be documented. I’m not even in the entertainment industry, but I know that when I was 12! Paperwork FIRST. If that’s not possible, you make a document trail so that you get you credit/money. And it’s NOT the artist who pays, it’s the LABEL. Again, something I knew at 12. (Simply from reading interviews in rock mags. The artists always mention something about how the industry works). And btw, since you claim Ace was your guitar hero, it’s pronounced FRAYLEE, NOT freelee. I’ve known that since I was 5, mum was a huge Kiss fan and Ace was her crush! I don’t know, something about you or your story seems off. But, whatever. Also, learn how to properly use green screen, because the shit you used in this “interview” looks like a 4 year old made it. Hey, how’d you spend the $12 that was your cut from the song?
