Turns out, that it was actually a little smoke bomb, that he rigged in his Guitar, specifically designed for when he did the "Shock me" Lead Guitar Solo.

What impresses me more about Ace Frehley is that I recently read he never had any kind of formal guitar lessons and admits to being musically illiterate. Yet unable to distinguish the notes, chords, and keys, he's still able to create the right sounds. His story should inspire the rest of us to look past the elitist snobs and show the world what we can do. Educated or uneducated, skilled or unskilled, trained or untrained; we deserve the chance to prove what we can do beyond the barriers of institutionalized qualifications.

Myself and millions of other musicians worldwide are fully capable of the same thing, having no musical knowledge whatsoever myself, i've been playing 11 years, in many bands, without a hitch. Not to discredit Ace, he's top 5 guitarists for me easily, but you have to think that he got a lucky break meeting Gene and Paul in 1972. Plus, they wrote the songs, he merely wrote the lead for the songs, while important, without the foundation, Kiss could've never happened.

This was recorded back in 1977, & I find it to be amazing, what Ace Frehley was able to do on Lead Guitar Solos, such as this. Then-Beginning in 1978, with the release of the KISS SINGLES ALBUMS, things began to start to crumble, little by little. It wasn't Ace's fault. The guys in the Band wanted some time away from each other, so that's how the whole Single Albums thing came about. It gave everyone in KISS some "Breathing Room"...so to speak. Then came 1979. Paul and Gene wanted to go a different direction, in terms of musical styles, and Stage Apparel...and, as we all know by now, that's when the "Kingdom", known as KISS, began to REALLY experience a lot of problems. The two Main People, Paul and Gene, wanted to go with more of a Glammy look, and to do music, that was more Power-Pop, than anything else. They toned their music down, too...and, of course, people picked up on that right away, and began to stop listening to KISS. In 1980, Peter Criss was gone, but it's only recently surfaced, that he was actually fired from KISS, instead of quitting, like we'd been told. By late 1982, even Ace Frehley decided he'd had enough, and was out of KISS. Whatever will be, will be.

I was a serious KISS fan when I was 6 years old after hearing the Hotter Than Hell album at my cousin’s house. I had my walls covered with those giant posters you could get at Spencers in the mall. I started to collect all their vinyl. I was an obese child. Largest in the school. Listening to KISS, in particular Ace because there was nothing uncool about him, and pursuing my love of rock and roll, I lost all my weight and was inspired to this day. I’m 55, a drummer, guitarist and vocalist and have spent time in several bands. Ace was by far my favorite of the band but Peters killer drum kit made me want to learn that first. I can’t say enough about how these men of KISS really helped me as a young and insecure round boy. They fueled my imagination and showed me the possible impossibilities and I love them for it. However, when I heard RUSH for the first time. That, was pure inspiration on a higher plane of consciousness. Ace is the best of KISS though just to nail down the point of this comment.

Tommy Thayer is an excellent guitarist, and I won't deny that. But one thing's for sure:He ain't no Ace Frehley! At best-Tommy Thayer is an Ace Frehley wannabe.

i believe when one is truly deep in their art and passion for something, at moments their souls leaves their body and is free. i love watching ace's solos because i can see it. drugs aside - he is so deeply in love with music and you can tell.

One of Ace Frehley`s Best Solo`s ever !!! Just Perfect his Gibson playing back then - brilliant Les Paul Tone !!! I am very proud to be a Fan since my Childhood in the 70`s ! Ace Frehley is still too much underrated for what he plays in the 70`s ! His Gibson Les Paul playing is one of a Kind and one of the Best ever !!! His Solo`s were Magic back then ! Great Feeling !!!

The best era for KISS, in 1976 they were still hungry and pretty tight. The most impressive thing about this solo is that Ace was undoubtedly high and/or drunk and still kicked ass! Impressive.

Ace Frehley is a talent, a real musician, a unique personality in the rock's world. He is one of the best guitar player in the whole world. With or without makeup, you can see his hands flying over the strings like wings. The notes, melodies, chords, crazy sounds, he got, will never be compared with nobody else. Frehley was the only, one and forever one, the Kiss lead guitar. Sorry for you Simmons, Frehley ruled, rules and will rule forever. Frehley, the genious.

I can easily look back at this and find a fondness for it. With his style being understood in context, I appreciate entirely what a good player he was back in his era. He inspired an entire generation of players as the spaceman. It saddens me beyond words to watch him play today, as I can see great deterioration in his motor skills. The way he holds his pick and phrases his notes today is sad. I think all the years of drug and alcohol abuse have diminished the skill set he had in the early days.
