ACE FREHLEY Doesn't See KISS Reunion In His Future
May 9, 2008Gene Triplett of NewsOK.com recently conducted an interview with original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
On the possibility of a KISS reunion with him on guitar:
"Uh, I don't see it happening. I never say never, but I just turned 57. I don't see myself getting up onstage with tights on and putting on the makeup and jumpin' around like, you know, a kid again. Because I don't physically think I can do it.
"On the last reunion tour, I saw a couple of videos. I think we looked a little tired, you know? I think it's maybe better to put that segment of KISS to sleep."
On his current solo tour:
"The first show I did in over five years was last year, Halloween, New York City. Played the Hard Rock Caf. And I had so much fun doin' that, I booked four more shows on the East Coast at the end of December and then, you know, we put together this real tour."
On his as-yet-untitled new album:
"There's some current songs, some songs I wrote this past year, some songs I wrote as far back as 10, 12 years ago. It's great because I had a lot of different material to choose from. Probably had 20 songs. So I'm gonna pick the best dozen."
On the fact that he no longer harbors any hard feelings toward Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley, despite some harsh words exchanged in the past:
"(KISS) was a big part of my life and, uh, most of the times were good so, you know. I'm just kind of that was then and this is now,' you know? ... The most important thing is, if you're just happy with what you're doin' with your life, that can make things so much better. I'm havin' more fun than I've had in years. I'm doin' it my way."
