ACE FREHLEY: KISS Reunion Is 'Not Something I Think About At All Anymore'
July 16, 2009Greg Prato of RolingStone.com recently conducted an interview with original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
RolingStone.com: How does [Frehley's upcoming solo album] "Anomaly" compare to your previous work?
Frehley: Everybody keeps talking about my first solo album [1978's "Ace Frehley"], and I keep thinking, "Right now, I feel exactly like I did after I finished mixing that record." I kind of knew I had something hot, that everybody was going to like. Maybe history will repeat itself again — 31 years later.
RolingStone.com: Would you ever consider another KISS reunion?
Frehley: I'm having so much fun with this new album. It's not something I think about at all anymore. The reunion tour was supposed to be it — that's what they told me when they asked me to do it. But then they go, "Now we want to do a farewell tour." I said, "OK, I'll do a farewell tour." It ended in Australia, and then I get a phone call when I come back, "Now we want to do something else." Then Gene [Simmons] is on my answering machine, "Ace, we're going to go out. If you don't want to do it, we're going to use another guitar player." What is that, a threat? I didn't even answer the phone [laughs]. That was that.
