Ace Frehley - Kiss

Having bought all 4 of the Kiss solo albums Ace Frehley's one stood out from the rest. It was produced by Ace & Eddie Krammer in 1978 (Eddie Krammer has worked with the legend Jimi Hendrix!) The first song Rip It Out is brilliant & show's off how good Ace really is,with a cool riff & good solo. Song 2:Speeding back to my baby is a classic rock song (me & my mate used to sing this one all the time with our air guitars)Ace co wrote this song with his wife Jeanette Frehley.

Song 3: Snow Blind is a song where Ace could be talking about ...  Read the complete review

In 1978 during the time of bold moves, KISS release four solo Albums dedicated to each other. Out of the four this is the one that tops them all. Ace just lets himself go and totally rocks it. This Albums has all the elements of entertainment, Music, Fun, Excitement, and Comedy, but it is the music that stands on the shoulders of the other three albums. Tracks fast and slow, moody and exciting. All the songs have a counterpart to each other from the rocking New York Groove a hit single, the rip woaring sound of Rip It Out, The Weird Laugh of Ace Frehley on Wiped Out and the magical textured instrumetal Fracture Mirror. A must buy for any KISS ...  Read the complete review

Other memorable songs include 'Wiped Out' and the instrumental 'Fractured Mirror'. The latter track was to be Ace's best and was frequently copied but never bettered on later solo albums. Definitely the best solo effort. ...  Read the complete review

Hey, this guy is possibly the best guitarist of all time. If not the best, he is certainly one of the best. He demonstrates amazing solos live on stage and if you took time out to listen to him, you would understand where i am coming from. He has amazing self belief in himself and the other members of the band and definitely knows how to entertain the crowd. This guy is definitely thumbs up!! It is such a shame KISS are playnig theie final concert later next month. ...  Read the complete review
