Ace Frehley Biography

Ace Frehley is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on April 27, 1951 in The Bronx, New York State, United States. Guitarist and vocalist for the heavy metal band Kiss, the group known for hits like “I Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll All Night.” He has released music as a solo artist, including the album Anomaly.

He was in the band Kiss with Gene Simmons.

Paul Daniel Frehley was born and raised in The Bronx of New York City, the youngest of three children of Esther Anna (Hecht) and Carl Daniel Frehley. His father, from Pennsylvania, was the son of Dutch immigrants, and his mother is originally from North Carolina. He has a sister, Nancy and a brother, Charles, a classical guitarist. The Frehleys were a musical family, and when Frehley received an electric guitar as a Christmas present in 1964, he immersed himself in learning the instrument. “I never went to music school; I never took a guitar lesson, but everybody in my family plays an instrument. My mother and father both played piano, his father was the church organist, and my brother and sister both played piano and acoustic guitar.” Frehley was always surrounded by music. Frehley started playing guitar at age 13. He lists Jimi Hendrix, Albert Lee, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who as his main influences.

As lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his frenetic, atmospheric playing, becoming one of the most popular guitarists in the 1970s and spawning a generation of new players. Frehley stated in the book Kiss: Behind the Mask that many guitarists have told him his playing on 1975’s hit Alive! prompted them to pick up the instrument. Frehley is well-recognized for using Gibson Les Paul guitars, including his trademarked model conversion Les Paul Custom (that was designed and implemented by John Elder Robison, known as “Ampie”, an audio engineer working with the band), which filled the stage full of smoke during his live guitar solo.

He married Jeanette Trerotola on May 10, 1976 and they had one daughter together.

Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley (/ˈ f r eɪ l i / ; born April 27, 1951) is an American musician and songwriter best known as the original lead guitarist and co-founding member of the rock band Kiss. He invented the persona of The Spaceman (a.k.a. Space Ace) and played with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982. After leaving Kiss, Frehley embarked on a solo career, which was put on hold when he rejoined Kiss in 1996 for a highly successful reunion tour.

Kiss released their debut album, Kiss, in February 1974 – Frehley was credited for writing two songs, “Love Theme from KISS” (the only song co-written by the four original members) and a fan classic, “Cold Gin”. Due to Frehley’s lack of confidence in his own singing voice, however, Simmons performed the vocals. Frehley wrote or co-wrote several of the band’s songs over the next few years but did not record vocals on a song until “Shock Me” (inspired by his near-electrocution during a concert in Lakeland, Florida), which appeared on 1977’s Love Gun.

Along with the three other Kiss members, Frehley released an eponymous solo album in 1978. His was the best-selling of the four, and the album’s lone single—the Russ Ballard-written “New York Groove”, originally recorded by Hello—reached the Top 20 in the United States.

Frehley spent the early 1970s in a series of local bands including one called Molimo who recorded half an album for RCA Records in 1971. In late 1972, his friend, Chris Cassone, spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in The Village Voice and showed the ad to Frehley. Frehley went to 10 East 23rd Street above the Live Bait Bar and auditioned for Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (bass guitar), and Peter Criss (drums). Frehley showed up with best friend Chris Cassone wearing one red and one orange sneaker and was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing. About three weeks later the band named Frehley as their lead guitarist. By January 1973 the band came up with the name Kiss. Frehley designed the band’s double-lightning-bolt logo, which was polished up by Stanley. The band quickly decided to paint their faces for live performances and Frehley decided to start painting silver stars on his eyes. When the group eventually decided to adopt stage personas to match their makeup and costumes, Frehley became Space Ace. Later his stage persona was also known as The Spaceman.

Frehley’s songwriting presence within the group increased in 1979. He contributed three songs for 1979’s Dynasty and three for 1980’s Unmasked. While this was not the most commercially successful time for Kiss in the United States, the band was beginning to take off in other countries (mostly in Australia, where Dynasty and Unmasked are their biggest-selling albums). Even as his songwriting role within Kiss was increasing, Frehley found himself increasingly at odds with the musical direction of the band. After Peter Criss was voted out of Kiss in 1980, Frehley was often outvoted 2-1 in band decisions, as replacement drummer Eric Carr was not a partner in Kiss and had no vote. Frehley’s participation in the recording of 1981’s Music from “The Elder” was far more limited than with previous albums. This was in large part due to his unhappiness with the band’s decision to create a concept album rather than a straightforward rock album, and also, by Frehley’s own admission, his “not relating all that well” to producer Bob Ezrin, who cut many of Frehley’s solos from the recorded tracks.

One notable aspect of Trouble Walkin’ was the guest appearance of Peter Criss, who provided backing vocals on several tracks, along with Sebastian Bach and other members of Skid Row. It was the first time Criss and Frehley had performed together on an album since Kiss’ 1979 album, Dynasty, although Criss had shown up briefly at a Frehley’s Comet show in Los Angeles in 1987, playing drums on a final encore of “Deuce”. Frehley would return the favor by playing solos on Peter Criss’ Cat #1 album on TNT Records, released in 1994. In contrast to the somewhat adversarial relationship Frehley had with Kiss (particularly Gene Simmons) throughout the 1980s, he and Criss had maintained good ties during the decade. In June 1995, Frehley’s and Criss’ bands embarked on the “Bad Boys Tour” with Scarlet on guitar, marking the end of Frehley’s solo band for several years as Kiss shortly thereafter reunited and began touring together again.
