Musical artist

Paul Daniel "Ace" Frehley (; born Apr 27, 1951)^{[1] [2]} is an American musician all-time known as the original lead guitarist and co-founding member of the rock band Kiss. He invented the persona of The Spaceman (a.k.a. Space Ace) and played with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982. Later on leaving Kiss, Frehley embarked on a solo career, which was put on hold when he rejoined Buss in 1996 for a highly successful reunion tour.

Frehley's second tenure with Buss lasted until 2002, when he left at the conclusion of what was originally purported to exist the band's bye bout. His most recent solo anthology, Origins Vol. 2, was released on September eighteen, 2020. Guitar World magazine ranked him equally the 14th Greatest Metal Guitarist of All Time. Exterior Buss, Frehley had commercial success, with his first solo anthology going platinum. His first album with his "Frehley'southward Comet" band was also a big seller. Frehley is noted for his aggressive, atmospheric and melodic guitar playing and is also known for the use of many "special effects" guitars, including a Gibson Les Paul guitar that emits smoke from the neck humbucker pickup and produces spinning pyrotechnics, and a custom Les Paul that emits light based on song tempo.

Early on life [edit]

Paul Daniel Frehley was born and raised in The Bronx, New York City, the youngest of iii children of Esther Anna (Hecht) (1920-2006) and Carl Daniel Frehley (1903-2000).^[3] His begetter, from Pennsylvania, was the son of Dutch immigrants, and his mother is originally from N Carolina.^[4] He has a sister, Nancy, and a blood brother, Charles, a classical guitarist. The Frehleys were a musical family, and when Frehley received an electric guitar as a Christmas present in 1964, he immersed himself in learning the musical instrument. "I never went to music schoolhouse; I never took a guitar lesson, only everybody in my family plays an musical instrument. My mother and father both played piano, his begetter was the church building organist, and my brother and sis both played pianoforte and acoustic guitar." Frehley was ever surrounded past music. Frehley started playing guitar at age 13. He lists Jimi Hendrix, Albert Lee, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, B.B. Male monarch, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who as his master influences.^[5]

Growing up on the corner of Marion Avenue and 201st Street, off Bedford Park Boulevard (also known as 200th Street) and Webster Avenue in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx,^[9] Frehley graduated from Grace Lutheran Schoolhouse at age thirteen. Two of the high schools he attended were DeWitt Clinton High School on Mosholu Parkway and Theodore Roosevelt Loftier School on Fordham Route. He got the nickname "Ace" in loftier schoolhouse from friends who said he was "a real ace" for his ability to get dates. Also in his high school years, a guidance counselor encouraged him to go into graphic arts. He subsequently credited guitar playing for "saving his life" as a fellow member of Kiss.^{[ citation needed ]}

Music career [edit]

Early career [edit]

Frehley's earliest bands included The Outrage, The Iv Roses, King Kong, Honey, and The Magic People. When Frehley'south subsequently band, Cathedral, began getting paying gigs, he dropped out of high school. At the insistence of his family and girlfriend, Frehley somewhen returned and earned a diploma. Subsequently graduation, Frehley held a string of short-term jobs, including mail carrier, furniture deliverer, messenger, taxi driver and liquor shop delivery person.^[x]

Kiss [edit]

Frehley spent the early 1970s in a series of local bands including one called Molimo who recorded half an album for RCA Records in 1971.^[11] In late 1972, his friend, Chris Cassone, spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in The Village Voice and showed the ad to Frehley.^[12] Frehley went to ten Eastward 23rd Street above the Live Allurement Bar and auditioned for Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (bass guitar), and Peter Criss (drums). Frehley showed up wearing one ruby and one orange sneaker and was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing. Nigh three weeks afterwards the band named Frehley as their lead guitarist. By January 1973 the band came upwardly with the name Osculation. Frehley designed the band's double-lightning-bolt logo, which was polished up by Stanley. The band speedily decided to pigment their faces for live performances and Frehley decided to starting time painting silverish stars on his optics. When the grouping eventually decided to adopt stage personas to match their makeup and costumes, Frehley became Infinite Ace. Afterwards his stage persona was also known equally The Spaceman.

"The Spaceman" was the make-upwardly blueprint used by Frehley during his years with Kiss (1973–1982, 1996–2002)

While Kiss spent their early on days rehearsing and playing in empty clubs, Frehley worked equally a part-fourth dimension cab driver to pay bills. In September 1973, Buss members began to receive a $l a week salary from new manager Bill Aucoin, and Frehley quit his cabbie job.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Kiss released their debut album, Kiss, in Feb 1974 – Frehley was credited for writing two songs, "Dear Theme from Kiss" (the only song co-written by the iv original members) and a fan classic, "Cold Gin". Due to Frehley's lack of confidence in his ain singing vocalisation, yet, Simmons performed the vocals. Frehley wrote or co-wrote several of the band's songs over the next few years but did non record vocals on a song until "Shock Me" (inspired past his almost-electrocution during a concert in Lakeland, Florida), which appeared on 1977's Love Gun.^[ten]

Equally lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his frenetic, atmospheric playing, condign i of the most popular guitarists in the 1970s and spawning a generation of new players. Frehley stated in the book Kiss: Behind the Mask that many guitarists have told him his playing on 1975's hit Live! prompted them to option up the instrument. Frehley is well-recognized for using Gibson Les Paul guitars, including his trademarked model conversion Les Paul Custom (that was designed and implemented by John Elder Robison, known every bit "Ampie", an audio engineer working with the band), which filled the stage total of fume during his live guitar solo.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Along with the three other Kiss members, Frehley released an eponymous solo album in 1978. His was the all-time-selling of the 4, and the album's lone unmarried—the Russ Ballard-written "New York Groove", originally recorded by Hello—reached the Elevation twenty in the Us.^[xiii]

Frehley's songwriting presence within the group increased in 1979. He contributed three songs for 1979'south Dynasty and three for 1980'south Unmasked. While this was not the nearly commercially successful fourth dimension for Kiss in the United states of america, the band was get-go to have off in other countries (mostly in Commonwealth of australia, where Dynasty and Unmasked are their biggest-selling albums). Even as his songwriting role within Kiss was increasing, Frehley found himself increasingly at odds with the musical management of the band. Later on Peter Criss was voted out of Kiss in 1980, Frehley was oftentimes outvoted two–1 in band decisions, every bit replacement drummer Eric Carr was not a partner in Kiss and had no vote. Frehley's participation in the recording of 1981'due south Music from "The Elder" was far more limited than with previous albums. This was in large office due to his unhappiness with the band's determination to create a concept anthology rather than a straightforward stone album, and likewise, by Frehley's ain admission, his "not relating all that well" to producer Bob Ezrin, who cut many of Frehley'southward solos from the recorded tracks.^{[ citation needed ]}

Although Frehley appeared on the covers for 1982's greatest hits album Killers and studio anthology Creatures of the Night, he had no interest with Killers, and minimal (no musical) input on Creatures of the Night. Frehley's last appearances with the band were the video for "I Love It Loud", a series of European promotional appearances in November 1982 and a band interview with MTV promoting their world tour.^{[ citation needed ]}

Solo career/Frehley's Comet [edit]

In Dec 1982, Buss began the Creatures of the Night tour without Frehley: he was replaced by Vinnie Vincent. Frehley retained a i-quarter share in the Osculation partnership until 1985, however. He received one-quarter of the profits for both Lick It Upward and Animalize although he had no interest with either record.^[one]

In 1984, Frehley started his post-Kiss solo career by assembling a band that included, among others, drummer Anton Fig (who had performed on Frehley'due south 1978 solo album and on 2 Kiss albums). Bassist John Regan (who had worked with Peter Frampton), whom Frehley met in 1980, was as well an original member of the band as was vocalist/guitarist Richie Scarlet and keyboardist Arthur Stead.^[ane] The group, whose name alternated between 'Ace Frehley' and Frehley'due south Comet, recorded a series of demos throughout 1984 and 1985.^[fourteen] The band performed their get-go e'er live prove at Southward.I.R. Studios in New York City on November thirty, 1984,^[15] and played a handful of shows in the Northeast United states of america in March 1985.^[16]

Later on a few unsuccessful attempts at securing a recording contract, the grouping eventually signed to Megaforce Records and released their starting time album, Frehley'due south Comet, on July 7, 1987. The album was co-produced by Eddie Kramer, who had produced non only a number of Osculation albums, just Frehley'south 1978 album and some of his 1984–85 demos. Fig, at present being the in-studio drummer for David Letterman's late-night television show, performed on the album but was unable to maintain a permanent commitment to touring. He played on the 1987 bout in the United States when Frehley'south band played a double bill with Y&T, and White Lion opening the shows. Past the fourth dimension the band began recording this anthology, Blood-red had left the group to pursue other projects and was replaced by Tod Howarth. In addition, at some signal between the initial Frehley'south Comet shows in 1984–85 and their signing to Megaforce, the ring had get a four-piece, with Stead no longer playing with the group.^{[ citation needed ]}

Frehley's Comet, a mixture of hard rock and pop metallic, was a successful return to the music scene for Frehley. The album peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard 200 (selling nearly 500,000 copies^[i]), and the single, a Russ Ballard cover "Into the Nighttime", reached No. 27 on the Mainstream Stone Tracks chart.^[17] "Rock Soldiers" was an autobiographic song, written partially almost Frehley's April 1982 police chase in White Plains, NY while driving a DeLorean with his friend. The video for "Rock Soldiers" received moderate airplay on MTV, specially on Headbangers Ball.^{[eighteen] [ better source needed ]}

Despite the positive reviews and good for you album sales of Frehley'southward Comet, Frehley was unable to maintain much commercial momentum. 2 1988 Frehley'southward Comet albums—the live EP Live+1 and second studio anthology 2nd Sighting peaked at No. 84 and No. 81, respectively. A pair of tours in support of Alice Cooper and Atomic number 26 Maiden concluded prematurely, with the ring claiming lack of payment in both cases.^[19]

In order to reverse his band'south declining commercial fortunes, Frehley dropped the Frehley's Comet moniker and issued 1989'south Problem Walkin' nether his own name. Tod Howarth and Jamie Oldaker too decided to leave before recording started on the album, and were replaced past Cherry and Sandy Slavin. Despite the return to a more traditional hard rock style, Trouble Walkin' continued the pattern of failing sales, and peaked at #102.^[twenty] After the tour for Problem Walkin' ended prematurely with John Regan resigning after an April 1990 show in Las Vegas, Frehley didn't perform live for ii years, until July 1992.^[21]

One notable attribute of Trouble Walkin' was the invitee appearance of Peter Criss, who provided bankroll vocals on several tracks, along with Sebastian Bach and other members of Skid Row. Information technology was the first fourth dimension Criss and Frehley had performed together on an anthology since Kiss' 1979 anthology, Dynasty, although Criss had shown up briefly at a Frehley's Comet show in Los Angeles in 1987, playing drums on a final encore of "Deuce". Frehley would render the favor by playing solos on Peter Criss' Cat #1 anthology on TNT Records, released in 1994. In contrast to the somewhat adversarial human relationship Frehley had with Kiss (particularly Gene Simmons) throughout the 1980s, he and Criss had maintained good ties during the decade. In June 1995, Frehley'due south and Criss' bands embarked on the "Bad Boys Tour" with Cherry on guitar, mark the end of Frehley's solo band for several years as Kiss shortly thereafter reunited and began touring together once again.^[22]

Reunion with Kiss [edit]

In 1996, Frehley rejoined Kiss for a successful reunion tour, on which all four original members of the band performed live for the showtime fourth dimension since original drummer Peter Criss' departure in 1980. Later the tour, they announced that the original lineup would render to the studio to record a new album. The resulting record, Psycho Circus, was promoted with a successful earth tour, just information technology was revealed a couple of years later on that Frehley'southward and Criss's involvement on it was minimal. "Into the Void", which was Frehley'south lone contribution to the record, including vocals and lead guitar duties, is believed to be the only runway that all four original members performed on. After completing the "Cheerio Tour" with Kiss in late 2001, Frehley left the band and resumed his solo career.^{[23] [24]} In October 2018, he reunited with Buss on the Osculation Kruise.^[25]

Autobiography [edit]

Ace Frehley released his autobiography, No Regrets – A Rock 'Due north' Ringlet Memoir, on November 1, 2011. The autobiography was authored by Frehley, Joe Layden and John Ostrosky, and published through Gallery Books, a subdivision of Simon & Schuster.^[26] The book entered The New York Times Best Seller list in the hardcover not-fiction category at #10.^[27]

Technique [edit]

In a 2009 interview with Rock N Roll Experience Magazine, Frehley stated, "I'm an bibelot, I'grand an un-schooled musician, I don't know how to read music, but I'thou one of the most famous guitar players in the world, and so go figure."^[28]

"I play guitar in such an unorthodox mode," he told Guitar Globe in 1996. "I've never taken a guitar lesson. One of our administration brought it to my attention a few months ago that, sometimes, when I play chords, my thumb is on the fretted side of the neck. I have no thought why or how I practice it, simply I do." Paul Stanley added, "I remember a time early on on when Ace and I would play, and I would practise vibrato with my hand, and Ace would get vibrato by shaking his whole arm against the neck of the guitar [laughs]."^[29]
