Growing upwardly 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 department of the Bronx,[nine] Frehley graduated from Grace Lutheran School at age 13. Ii of the loftier schools he attended were DeWitt Clinton Loftier Schoolhouse on Mosholu Parkway and Theodore Roosevelt High Schoolhouse on Fordham Route. He got the nickname "Ace" in high schoolhouse from friends who said he was "a real ace" for his power to get dates. Likewise in his high school years, a guidance counselor encouraged him to become into graphic arts. He later credited guitar playing for "saving his life" as a member of Buss.[ citation needed ]

Music career [edit]

Early career [edit]

Frehley's earliest bands included The Outrage, The Four Roses, Rex Kong, Dearest, and The Magic People. When Frehley'south after band, Cathedral, began getting paying gigs, he dropped out of high school. At the insistence of his family and girlfriend, Frehley eventually returned and earned a diploma. Later graduation, Frehley held a string of short-term jobs, including mail carrier, piece of furniture deliverer, messenger, taxi driver and liquor store delivery person.[ten]

Kiss [edit]

Frehley spent the early 1970s in a series of local bands including ane chosen Molimo who recorded half an album for RCA Records in 1971.[eleven] 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 10 E 23rd Street above the Live Bait Bar and auditioned for Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (bass guitar), and Peter Criss (drums). Frehley showed upward wearing ane red and i orangish sneaker and was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing. Nigh 3 weeks later the band named Frehley as their atomic number 82 guitarist. By January 1973 the ring came up with the name Kiss. Frehley designed the band's double-lightning-bolt logo, which was polished upwardly by Stanley. The band quickly decided to paint their faces for live performances and Frehley decided to outset painting silver stars on his eyes. When the group somewhen decided to adopt stage personas to friction match their makeup and costumes, Frehley became Infinite Ace. Later his stage persona was also known as The Spaceman.

"The Spaceman" was the brand-upwards pattern used past Frehley during his years with Osculation (1973–1982, 1996–2002)

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

Kiss released their debut anthology, Kiss, in February 1974 – Frehley was credited for writing two songs, "Love Theme from Kiss" (the only song co-written by the four original members) and a fan classic, "Common cold Gin". Due to Frehley'due south lack of confidence in his own singing phonation, however, Simmons performed the vocals. Frehley wrote or co-wrote several of the ring's songs over the side by side few years but did not record vocals on a song until "Shock Me" (inspired past his near-electrocution during a concert in Lakeland, Florida), which appeared on 1977'due south Beloved Gun.[10]

As lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his corybantic, atmospheric playing, condign one of the most pop guitarists in the 1970s and spawning a generation of new players. Frehley stated in the book Osculation: Behind the Mask that many guitarists have told him his playing on 1975's hit Alive! prompted them to pick up the musical 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 as "Ampie", an audio engineer working with the ring), which filled the stage full of smoke during his live guitar solo.[ citation needed ]

Along with the three other Kiss members, Frehley released an eponymous solo anthology in 1978. His was the acknowledged of the four, and the anthology's lonely unmarried—the Russ Ballard-written "New York Groove", originally recorded by How-do-you-do—reached the Top 20 in the United States.[13]

Frehley's songwriting presence within the grouping increased in 1979. He contributed three songs for 1979'due south Dynasty and three for 1980's Unmasked. While this was not the most commercially successful time for Kiss in the United States, the band was offset to have off in other countries (more often than not in Australia, where Dynasty and Unmasked are their biggest-selling albums). Even equally his songwriting part within Osculation was increasing, Frehley plant himself increasingly at odds with the musical direction of the ring. Subsequently Peter Criss was voted out of Kiss in 1980, Frehley was often outvoted ii–1 in ring decisions, equally replacement drummer Eric Carr was not a partner in Kiss and had no vote. Frehley's participation in the recording of 1981's Music from "The Elder" was far more limited than with previous albums. This was in large part due to his unhappiness with the band's conclusion to create a concept album rather than a straightforward rock album, and as well, past Frehley's own admission, his "not relating all that well" to producer Bob Ezrin, who cut many of Frehley'due south solos from the recorded tracks.[ citation needed ]

Although Frehley appeared on the covers for 1982's greatest hits album Killers and studio album Creatures of the Nighttime, he had no involvement with Killers, and minimal musical input on Creatures of the Dark. Frehley's final appearances with the band were the video for "I Love It Loud", a series of European promotional appearances in November 1982 and a ring interview with MTV promoting their world tour.[ citation needed ]

Solo career/Frehley'southward Comet [edit]

In December 1982, Kiss began the Creatures of the Nighttime bout without Frehley: he was replaced by Vinnie Vincent. Frehley retained a i-quarter share in the Kiss partnership until 1985, notwithstanding. He received one-quarter of the profits for both Lick It Upwards and Animalize although he had no involvement with either record.[1]

In 1984, Frehley started his post-Buss solo career by assembling a band that included, among others, drummer Anton Fig (who had performed on Frehley's 1978 solo album and on two Kiss albums). Bassist John Regan (who had worked with Peter Frampton), whom Frehley met in 1980, was also an original fellow member of the band equally was vocalist/guitarist Richie Scarlet and keyboardist Arthur Stead.[one] The group, whose proper noun alternated betwixt 'Ace Frehley' and Frehley's Comet, recorded a series of demos throughout 1984 and 1985.[14] The band performed their starting time e'er live show at South.I.R. Studios in New York City on November 30, 1984,[15] and played a handful of shows in the Northeast United States in March 1985.[16]

After a few unsuccessful attempts at securing a recording contract, the group eventually signed to Megaforce Records and released their get-go album, Frehley's Comet, on July 7, 1987. The album was co-produced by Eddie Kramer, who had produced not just a number of Kiss albums, merely Frehley'due south 1978 album and some of his 1984–85 demos. Fig, now existence the in-studio drummer for David Letterman's late-night television receiver show, performed on the album but was unable to maintain a permanent commitment to touring. He played on the 1987 tour in the United States when Frehley's band played a double pecker with Y&T, and White King of beasts opening the shows. By the fourth dimension the band began recording this album, Scarlet had left the group to pursue other projects and was replaced by Tod Howarth. In addition, at some point between the initial Frehley'southward Comet shows in 1984–85 and their signing to Megaforce, the ring had become a four-piece, with Stead no longer playing with the group.[ citation needed ]

Frehley's Comet, a mixture of hard rock and pop metal, was a successful return to the music scene for Frehley. The album peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard 200 (selling virtually 500,000 copies[1]), and the single, a Russ Ballard cover "Into the Nighttime", reached No. 27 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[17] "Rock Soldiers" was an autobiographic song, written partially nigh Frehley's Apr 1982 police chase in White Plains, NY while driving a DeLorean with his friend. The video for "Rock Soldiers" received moderate airplay on MTV, particularly on Headbangers Ball.[18] [ better source needed ]

Despite the positive reviews and healthy album sales of Frehley's Comet, Frehley was unable to maintain much commercial momentum. Ii 1988 Frehley's Comet albums—the live EP Live+one and 2d studio album Second Sighting peaked at No. 84 and No. 81, respectively. A pair of tours in support of Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden concluded prematurely, with the band challenge lack of payment in both cases.[19]

In order to opposite his ring'southward declining commercial fortunes, Frehley dropped the Frehley's Comet moniker and issued 1989's Problem Walkin' under his ain name. Tod Howarth and Jamie Oldaker too decided to leave before recording started on the album, and were replaced by Scarlet and Sandy Slavin. Despite the return to a more traditional difficult rock style, Trouble Walkin' continued the pattern of failing sales, and peaked at #102.[20] After the bout 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 aspect of Trouble Walkin' was the guest appearance of Peter Criss, who provided backing vocals on several tracks, along with Sebastian Bach and other members of Skid Row. It was the first fourth dimension Criss and Frehley had performed together on an album since Kiss' 1979 anthology, Dynasty, although Criss had shown upward briefly at a Frehley's Comet show in Los Angeles in 1987, playing drums on a final encore of "Deuce". Frehley would return the favor past playing solos on Peter Criss' Cat #ane album on TNT Records, released in 1994. In contrast to the somewhat adversarial 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's and Criss' bands embarked on the "Bad Boys Tour" with Scarlet on guitar, marking the finish of Frehley's solo band for several years equally Kiss presently thereafter reunited and began touring together again.[22]

Reunion with Osculation [edit]

In 1996, Frehley rejoined Kiss for a successful reunion tour, on which all four original members of the band performed live for the offset time since original drummer Peter Criss' deviation in 1980. After the bout, they appear that the original lineup would return to the studio to tape a new anthology. The resulting record, Psycho Circus, was promoted with a successful earth tour, only it was revealed a couple of years afterwards that Frehley'southward and Criss'due south involvement on it was minimal. "Into the Void", which was Frehley's lone contribution to the record, including vocals and pb guitar duties, is believed to be the only track that all four original members performed on. Afterward completing the "Farewell Tour" with Kiss in late 2001, Frehley left the band and resumed his solo career.[23] [24] In October 2018, he reunited with Kiss on the Kiss Kruise.[25]

Autobiography [edit]

Ace Frehley released his autobiography, No Regrets – A Rock 'N' Coil Memoir, on Nov i, 2011. The autobiography was authored past 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 listing in the hardcover non-fiction category at #10.[27]

Technique [edit]

In a 2009 interview with Stone N Roll Experience Magazine, Frehley stated, "I'm an bibelot, I'm an un-schooled musician, I don't know how to read music, merely I'1000 one of the nigh famous guitar players in the earth, so get figure."[28]

"I play guitar in such an unorthodox style," he told Guitar World in 1996. "I've never taken a guitar lesson. One of our assistants brought it to my attention a few months ago that, sometimes, when I play chords, my thumb is on the fretted side of the cervix. I accept no idea why or how I do information technology, but I practice." Paul Stanley added, "I retrieve a time early when Ace and I would play, and I would do vibrato with my hand, and Ace would get vibrato by shaking his whole arm against the neck of the guitar [laughs]."[29]
