Of all the original members of Kiss, Ace seems the nicest and most "regular guy" sort of person. A guy you could have a beer with and just shoot the shit and laugh.

he was ultra nice to me, signed everything i had. love to meet him again.

Ace Frehley's playing on the first six records literally taught me to play lead guitar. This is a guitarist with a very basic and simple guitar vocabulary but who was highly imaginative and had a ton of flair. Thanks Ace.

Ace will always be my favorite member of KISS,he's a genuine,hilariously funny,& one of my biggest inspirations! He's the reason i started playing guitar at age 8 & will always be the fuckin man!

Ace will always be a guitar god and awesome person to me.

Had the pleasure to meet Ace at the horror show the day of super storm sandy and he was the most accommodating and true gentleman!

Peter Criss actually seems to be the most approachable but Ace would be a blast to joke around with. Gene Simmons would be an absolute stick in the mud. I am not sure about Paul but he did place a guitar pick in my hand once when he saw i was never going to catch one. Bruce Kulick seemed to be a nice guy. Bruce was hitting me in the head with picks while playing to my section because i, like an idiot, was watching gene or Paul and not paying attention to him in front of me. I finally noticed after having people grabbing picks off my shoulder etc that he was hitting me with. He gave me a big smile and I thought it was so cool.

Love you Ace. Regular guy, immensely talented.

Very approachable. Signed a Trouble Walkin' album cover for me and actually thanked me.

I remember Ace stealing the show in Anchorage Alaska in January of 2000. Barely got thru the pass from Kenai before an avalanche. My girlfriend thought I was nuts, until she saw the original KISS line-up perform. Saw him before in '77 & '80, his new album gave me goosebumps. Ace Frehley Forever!

ACE FOREVER

Ace is a good guy :)

Love seeing ace happy! Kiss was my band growing up.

ACE WILL ALWAYS BE THE SPACEY ACE !

what a great guy

As my all time favorite guitar player, I would love to meet Ace. I would hope he would take a picture and give an autograph. But I understand he probably gets swamped by people and yeah they should respect it when he's having dinner and wait for the appropriate time to ask.

Ace!

Love Ace!

picked up the Village Voice sept 13th in times square...the cover was of a woman doing spicy performance art in a NY bar.....was on my way to Edson NJ for the 2014 KISS Expo - the VV had a great article on Ace...visiting his old school and neighbor hood - Ace is as usual....on fire!

Good luck and God bless Mr. Spaceman! Your music was a huge part of my life. REALLY REALLY hard to beat Gibson guitars and walls of Marshalls. Thank you for all the joy your music brought me, even though I'm sure the rest of the neighborhood may have something else to say.

"It's plural!"

Ace and Peter are the only two members of that legendary line up I can imagine sitting down and having a conversation with. They've been through a lot and I personally think Kiss and a lot of other bands made it too big. The music is one thing that's what they are here for, but then comes substance abuse, depression, invasion of privacy, rudeness from jealous other members like Gene and Paul who are assholes this happens to every band who make it really big or nearly every band like that. It's a shame. They start as brothers and then it all goes down the tubes. I can't relate to lack of sobriety. I've never been into drugs or drink. I saw especially what drugs can do and how evil they are. I lost a lot of good friends who either went insane on abuse or eventually overdosed or killed themselves. I wish my teenaged years hadn't been such a harsh and unforgiving time, but my whole life is like that especially now making it miraculous I'm not some kind of junkie or drunk, but I never will be never have been. Ace is a great guy. He's a survivor of a lot of traumatic experiences. I hope he stays sober and healthy I wish him a wonderful time ahead in the new year.

right on Ace

Y'know?

Cool lives in SD!

Sounds fair enough - can understand

Nicest Guitar legend I ever met took pictures signed albums and I live 5 minutes from his old hood in the Bronx, I found out 2 late he was in the Bronx shooting a video. I def would of went

Just got the CD! Great Rock! :)

Great Interview!

Its so good!!!

If I ever have the chance to meet Ace I would really love for him to sign my 2008 Gibson Les Paul Custom Oxblood and while he's doing so quickly tell him about my special connection with Kiss (Life Changing Event) inspiring me to play guitar 35 years ago. It was late 1978 or early 1979 I was around 14 years old and one day me and my childhood best friend was at String's and Thing's in Memphis,Tn. just killing time and looking at the guitars as my friends mom was across the street at the hospital visiting his dad.,,,,, so we was talking to one of the store owners about our favorite rock band Kiss.... the store owner asked us to follow him to the drum kit room he had something to show us...... It was a dark room hardly ever accessed and the man reached up and pulled down from the shelf high in the air a flight case and asked me to open it up....... and Lord and Behold it was Paul Stanley's actual Ibanez Iceman (battered up from Paul's costume's rhinestones) on loan soon to be displayed in the showroom up high on the shelf out of reach.... So, I was blessed with the chance to arch the Paul Stanley engraved at the 12th fret neck in my left hand and give it a light strum while it was still resting in the case. That moment in time did it for me I was hooked and was inspired to play guitar forever. So, a few weeks later I bought a brand new 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom wine red with gold hardware and chainsaw case really because of Ace's choice of guitars was the Gibson Les Paul Custom. You're the Man Ace if you ever read or hear about this or if and when I may ever meet you I want you to know You're Loved By Many Brother !! God Bless You My Friend and Inspiration. Peace and Love, Kennyj_wsp@hotmail.com

Hey Ace what happens if someone approaches you from the rear....... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I wish I knew what the name of the magazine is that had pics of him taken in the Bronx at his old stomping grounds! Hope to come across the pics and the article at some point online... Love the guy! Space Invader rocks my socks off!

Thats Not ACE is really Vince Neil LOOOOOL

Ya know... :}

Sounds like Barney Gumble

the picture with Robin Williams is clearly from 77 or 78. What's this guy talking about not clear what year its from? Psh KISS fans know

He say's "You Know" 25 times in this clip. Take that away and the guy can't put a sentence together.

OMG...I would not even approach him the way he looks. My God!!

I liked Ace,,,,,when I was 10. Then when a real person and real guitar player came out of no where I left Ace to those who probably still like and respect him right there at the age of 10. The real person and real guitar player that came fourth was of course,,,,,,,,,, Randy Rhoads

8 years sober...Wawawah!..Tell me another one Curly

Why does everyone get fat and dumpy? We all get old, but we don't have to all get fat.

Love Ace, but he seems so out of it. All those years of alcohol abuse have taken a toll on him.

Ace is a nervous twitch. He looks bloaded and damaged

you're in public.....don't approach you if you're eating?

I have zero sympathy for people who abuse drugs or alcohol... They make the choice to do those things, they're not forced to do them...

Its so good!!!
