I saw Ace last month (New Year's Eve) in Allentown, Pa. He was a little shaky, but by the third song he sounded and played really well.
Rock On, Ace!

He must be a secret Farker

"I figured that it was time for me to re-emerge and let everybody know I'm not dead."

Translation: "I need the money."

I love posthumous albums, it gives me the feeling that the artist is still alive.

I'm going to see him at the House of Blues @Mandalay Bay next month. Really looking forward to it. I'm also not going to have my expectations set too high.

It must suck to know that you can be replaced by anyone who can play a guitar and wear silver and white face paint.

How do we know? Ace is back 'cause he told blabbermouth.net so.

Boobies: How do we know? Ace is back 'cause he told blabbermouth.net so.

Beautifully done, sir. The second worst song in the history of rock 'n roll. Of course I have it on my i-pod.

I am going to see him a week from today. I have heard a recording from his present tour and he doesn't sound too bad!

I would much rather see Ace solo than Kiss with Gene, Paul and two nobodys pretending to be Ace and Peter.

Did anyone else see him on that poker tournament among rock stars? He was hilarious.

Yup, and Ace is a fairly normal looking guy. Gene and Paul are both rather scary in their own way. They needed the face paint.

Does this mean he's going to play Rock Soldiers? God that song's awful.

Go Fast Turn Left: God that song's awful.

Yep. It's actually so bad that I can't turn it off.

Rock on, Zombie Ace.

I'm glad to hear he's not really dead but I'm still distraught about Abe Vigoda.

I personally claim responsibility for Ace Frehley's death on Fark and elsewhere. Heh heh...one of my greatest accomplishments.

/gotta go thru the old threads to find the original Ace is Dead.

Douche of the Decade Award, just for you.

/Enjoy

A story so important that it must be posted twice in as many days. Perhaps we need an ACE tag?

I honestly thought he was dead. DAMN YOU, FARK!!!!

Sounds like some fan is having a hard time dealing with Ace's untimely demise. That is sad, but they will eventually come to terms with it.

R.I.P. Ace


/Kiss sucks major ass

ACE FREHLEYS GHOST must still be sleeping, he was up late last nite talking about motley crue and such

Should be up at some point

It's a miracle!

/ You know who else arose from the dead

This, totally this. I'm going to see Ace in Denver next month.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAINS!!!!

busy chillin': Kiss sucks major ass

If you analyze their musical talents, it's very true. However, their stage show is the paradigm of what makes rock shows great. Thei songs are catchy, and mercifully short (except for 100,000 years, which seems about that long). Ace may be the worst guitar player ever to get paid to play, but he rocks because of the remorseless fashion in which he deals with that truth.

That's an interesting and valid point. I have never seen them live.

It ain't like it used to be, but you will still have the chance. It's worth a look if only for the amusement factor.

I liked him better when he was dead.

I used to be Ace Frehley, so I'm getting a kick, etc.

Seriously, good to see that Ace is getting back in his New York Groove.

Thanks for the pic. I really needed to vomit up that Mcdonald's breakfast burrito I had this morning.

Archie Godwin: I call it the C.C. Deville Syndrome.

Damn, why does everybody have to hate on the fun guys in rock? C.C. puts on a helluva show. His licks are very catchy, and he too admits he is no virtuoso. He wrote Talk Dirty to Me in high school, if you can't get in a good mood listening to that song, there is little hope for you.

I saw Frehley's Comet open for Iron Maiden back in 1988(?). I don't remember any of it, so he couldn't have been that good.

Archie Godwin: If you play guitar don't go, his lack of skill will make you wonder why YOU haven't made it all these years. I call it the C.C. Deville Syndrome.

Come on, he's not THAT bad. He's not Steve Vai by any means, but there have been far, far, FAR worse. Yes I'm looking at YOU, Kurt Cobain's Rotting Corpse.

He might not be dead but his career sure is.

I never said he didn't put on a good show, just that he can't play guitar worth a shiat.

Well thank God for you, Citizen.

Who knows how many guitar wonks were sitting out there with their laptops perched on top of a stack of Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazines, saying to themselves, "Well, Ace Frehley and Al Di Meola are both going to be in town, AND I JUST CAN'T DECIDE WHICH ONE TO SEE!"

I cna answer that now, thanks: Al DiMeola. C.C. Deville's mere existence causes me to question the existence of God.

C'mon, give Goonie a break! His threadjack was much more amusing than reading the 50th Britney Spears thread of that day!

He was. Then Lemmy hit him in the back of the head with the Rickenbacker.

I was there when God fell off the stage and broke his arm. Hilarity, it ensued.

Ahhhh, Ace Frehley.

Never has someone inspired so many to play guitar, but influenced so few.
