Ace: 1951 - 2025


Contest as you like but Ace Frehley's smoking Les Paul antics defined Kiss. Paul Daniel Frehley left us last week (16 October) & it left a marked void in the shock rock arena. Frehley is not your shred-fest fanatic, neither did he tread his pride through the boomer bend path. He's just Ace Frehley. There were countless post-humous commemorations along the way, one of which was that bitter episode where fans contested his worthiness when he appeared on the cover page of a certain guitar magazine, considering he's not as adept to the instrument as opposed to Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin & Pat Metheny, among others. It was a trivial matter at best. Subsequently, even Kurt Cobain was on countless magazine covers & we all know it's not about his intricacies with the guitar. So long, Ace. You were worth our time.
