Ace Frehley News !

Même en tant que membre dévoué de Kiss Army, je crois comprendre que Gene Simmons et son équipe ont fourni beaucoup de munitions aux personnes qui parlent de déchets. Mais c’est vraiment difficile de détester le guitariste Paul "Ace" Frehley. Il est l’un des membres fondateurs du plus grand spectacle rock ’n’ roll de tous les temps et ses solos bâclés, déchirants et à haut gain font autant partie du tissu de Kiss que la respiration par le feu et les crachats de sang. Bien que les compositions de Frehley aient été le clou du catalogue du groupe depuis le début (rendez-vous service et revisitez l'éclat de «Rocket Ride» de la quatrième face de Alive II de 1977, enregistrée en studio), il a fallu attendre que les membres du groupe sortent simultanément des albums solo en 1978 pour qu’il devienne la vedette qu’il méritait d'être; Tandis que Simmons, Paul Stanley et Peter Criss rendaient hommage à leur propre ego, Frehley a créé une véritable explosion de pop-métal hard-rock, hard-as-hell, qui surclasse les efforts de son groupe et tient encore la route aujourd'hui.
Frehley quitte Kiss en 1982 pour se lancer dans une carrière solo, en publiant trois albums en solo à la fin de la décennie (deux attribués à son groupe, Frehley’s Comet), bien que ses singeries téméraires et autodestructrices menacent de le faire dérailler. Le statut de dieu du rock de Frehley a reçu un coup de feu indispensable dans le bras à la fin de 1995, quand il a rejoint Kiss pour une réunion qui s’est transformée en une tournée d'adieu couvrant plusieurs années. Il a de nouveau quitté le groupe en 2002, et Kiss a bien sûr continué à faire d'autres "tournées finales". Mais la vie après-après-Kiss a été bonne pour Frehley; Au cours des dix dernières années, il a été propre, sobre et actif. Il a sorti un bon nombre de disques solos drôles et solitaires, peut-être un peu oubliables, mais totalement bons. Bien sûr, vous n'allez pas voir Space Ace en concert pour une plongée dans son récent travail solo: quand je l'ai vu en 2011, il a joué une série de classiques de Kiss, avec de la fumée et des étincelles jaillissant de sa guitare pendant le solo "Shock Me" comme si c'était 1977 à nouveau.

Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley performed with KINGS OF CHAOS on Friday, July 26 at the 2019 Washington County Fair in West Bend, Wisconsin. The supergroup's lineup also included Sebastian Bach (original voice of SKID ROW), Gilby Clarke (GUNS N' ROSES), Warren DeMartini (RATT), James LoMenzo (WHITE LION, MEGADETH) and Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES).

Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below (courtesy of YouTube user "Kevin Coombs").

Originally formed by Sorum in 2012 as ROCK 'N' ROLL ALL STARS, KINGS OF CHAOS features a core lineup of members as well as a rotating cast of guest musicians.

KINGS OF CHAOS has recorded just one song so far: a cover of DEEP PURPLE's "Never Before" for the 2012 tribute album "Re-Machined: A Tribute To Deep Purple's 'Machine Head'".

Back in 2014, Bach spoke about Frehley while commenting on KISS's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the announcement that the original four members of KISS would not perform at the ceremony.

"As a fan, I understand why people would want to see that," Bach told Ultimate Classic Rock. "But as a [now-51]-year old man that has worked with Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley, I understand why Gene Simmons doesn't work with Ace Frehley."

Bach added cryptically: "Ace has sides to him that maybe the fans don't see. That's all I can say." Sebastian concluded by saying, "I understand why Gene doesn't play with [Ace]."

Bach and Frehley worked together on the track "Know Where You Go" for drummer Anton Fig's solo album "Figments", which came out in 2002. At the time, Bach said that recording with Ace and Anton was "a dream come true and an honor."

Ace Frehley to land in Cleveland
Gene Simmons provided the tongue-wagging, blood-gurgling and platform-heeled, comic-book bravado – all amazing stuff. Paul Stanley’s between-song banter is the stuff of legend. But Ace Frehley – aka Space Ace, aka The Spaceman -- was guy who, with a wailing, bending guitar lead, could summon thousands to flick their Bics.

The co-founder of KISS still lights it up years after leaving rock’s wildest spectacle (even when the audience is using illuminated smart phones than Bics). Since leaving KISS (for the second and last time in 2002), Frehley has been clean and sober and a regular on the touring circuit. He’s also a ripper – throwing out blues leads and jams, mixed in with KISS-era classics such as “Cold Gin” and “Shock Me” and his solo hit, “New York Groove.”

At 7 p.m. Sunday, Frehley will hit House of Blues, 308 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. Tickets $37-$57.  Go to houseofblues.com/Cleveland or call 216-523-2583.

Je poste ce soir quelques photos du magazine officiel d'Ace FREHLEY que j'ai reçu aujourd'hui des Etats-unis…

Le magazine était accompagné d'une carte postale et de six cartes format carte de jeu assez sympas.

Rob Grabowski caught Ace Frehley In The Act during show at the Arcada Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019, in St. Charles, Ill. Check out Rob's review and photos!

Everybody's favorite Spaceman invaded the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles to the delight of every Rock Soldier in attendance as they dived deep into the unknown with original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley.

With a career spanning set list, the crowd fed off of the energy Ace and band delivered as he ripped into solo works, covers, and of course KISS staples. Ace is, and always will be a character who is loved by many and recognized for his contributions to not only his former band, but to so many guitarists that we revere today.

He inspired many and is looked to with admiration and adoration from his peers. As The Beatles influenced and shaped the path of music over the past 50 years, Ace and his gun slinging, balls to the wall, out of this world fretboard action and tone has shaped and molded guitarists across the universe.

He is always a pleasure to see perform live and I highly recommend the investment of a ticket. He may be from New York, but his playing and song writing is definitely from outer space.
