[2025] Ace Frehley - Rocket Ride (BLR)
It's been one of those truly awful days. Ace Frehley left us today and the world seems a little greyer for it. Not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two when I heard he'd passed. I saw KISS before I heard them. I remember seeing their photos in magazines and thinking they looked like superheroes. Then I heard them them, and I was sold. I was eleven when I really took notice of them and a life long love began. I get a few eye rolls from purists, but my two favourite KISS records are Dynasty and Unmasked, but in saying that the LP I play most is Double Platinum. And my most loved track is Hard Luck Woman. Contradictions I know, but that's the way life is meant to be. Took me awhile to think of something to post as a Tribute before I settled on putting this together. It collects the very first show from Frehley's Comet, with Rehearsals and a couple of 1984 Demos on Disc One. Disc Two is an FM Broadcast from 1988 and the Unreleased EP from 1995. Just a sad day. Thoughts go to his family, friends and all us fans.
Thanks for this. I was surprised to see that Ace covered Back on the Streets, Looked it up and found out that Ace and Vinnie Vincent shared the same manager at the time.
