ACE FREHLEY To Guest On 'Friday Night Rocks'

December 18, 2008

Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley will be the featured guest on Eddie Trunk's "Friday Night Rocks" radio show on New York's Q104.3 FM this coming Friday night, December 19 as part of this year's edition of "The Original Merry Kissmas Special".

If you live in the U.S., you can listen to the show live on the Internet between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. at this location.

Ace Frehley has just launched his official web site at AceFrehley.com. An introductory message from Ace reads as follows:

"Dear Earthlings, I'm happy to say that I finally got a good Internet connection up here on Jendell and can now present to you my official website — AceFrehley.com! Thanks for your patience and support over the years... it's meant everything to me.
"Now, let's ROCK!! AceFrehley.com is going to provide a link between us and be something unique and different from the 'usual' website. What you will see is exclusive pictures and video clips from my archives, news, tour dates and appearances announced here first, and a chance for you to be a part of this website by sending me your photos and questions.

"I'll be emailing all my members very cool 'extra stuff,' so don't forget to sign up! And despite the rumors, you'll be hearing my new CD real soon... stay tuned.

"I hope you have as much fun on AceFrehley.com as I've had putting it together."

Catch Ace this weekend on VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" hosted by Eddie Trunk. The program will premiere this Saturday night, December 20 at 11 p.m. and will repeat several times in the coming weeks.

In an early 2008 interview with Billboard, Frehley stated about his forthcoming solo album, "Basically, I'm trying to get back into the mindset I was in when I did my first solo record [1978's 'Ace Frehley']. That record seemed to have all the elements everybody liked — a real cool instrumental, a hit single, some real heavy rockers, a nice variety of different genres of music."

Among his favorite new tracks are "A Little Below the Angels", hard-rocking "Pain in the Neck" and an instrumental called "Fractured Quantum", which is a follow-up to his previous instrumentals "Fractured Mirror" and "Fractured Too". Another favorite is "groove song" titled "Genghis Khan", which he likens in tone to LED ZEPPELIN's "Kashmir".

Frehley told MyrtleBeachOnline.com that he's shooting for 12 tracks on his next album, his first in 18 years. Studio work has spanned several months, and some of the songs go back 12 years.

Frehley recently spent time on the road fronting a band that featured second guitarist Derek Hawkins, drummer Scot Coogan (ex-BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION) and bassist Anthony Esposito (ex-LYNCH MOB).
