Former KISS member Ace Frehley is releasing new music, and also stirring up some drama with his former KISS bandmates Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. Aside from some good ol' fashioned rock'n'roll feuding, today I'm going to listen to Ace Frehley's new song "10,000 Volts" and see if it really does making is former KISS bandmates look like imbeciles.

I so wish I could have a face to face conversation with you!! As I listened to this and heard certain parts, like the shakers, you took the words out of my mouth...i agree, I admire Ace for standing up for himself and letting his past fellow band mates know his opinions..good for him. As for AI, no thank you, if that runs away with us, we will not be seeing live bands anymore, and that will be a tragedy, plus it will spill over into everyday living and I believe that is dangerous for Humanity...we are spiritual beings and we must not forget this. Oh the song?! It was OK, bland but OK, did nothing for me as a work though, I wish him all the best.. And loved your red jacket with yellow shirt and great shoes... Your fire signs in your astrological chart gives you that flamboyance and kind heart. Thank you Justin, I really enjoyed this video tonight.

I was very good friends with Janet Raines (God bless her -RIP). We were both standing there talking, and you approached us. She introduced you to me and you looked at me and said, "Dude... You look so familiar, I know you from somewhere, do you play in a band?". And Janet said, " yes he does". To which I said yes but just a local band. Have to let everyone know that Steve was about the nicest guy you could ever meet! Congratulations on a great song, and getting to work with Ace must be a dream!

Dear monsieur Hawkins. I don't know if you read these? I work as crew chief on live events. I have performed this role for your last two gigs at Leeds academy. With the best will in the world, 15 years at it and I have to sit through a LOT of appalling ghastly shit, but you guys. O my God. What a tonic. What a fucking fantastic live act. Not last year but the one before?.... The Darkness gave me a moment. One of those moments where I remember why I do this job for a living and how fucking fantastically personal, charming, charged and specially gregariously pearlescent a concert should be. These are sparse occurrences in my life and I cherish them for their rarity and value. I won't over-stuff this comment with details, but you sir? Proper gent. Absolutely stellar every time. I also worked that rain soaked bollox in Leeds when you supported Lewis capaldi . You guys were outstanding then too. Next time you come through one of "my" venues, well, I'll be looking for a fist bump. That's all, just a fist bump? We aren't sposed to have any contact with the talent , as crew. But in your case, I'm prepared to make an exception. I appreciate you and your ting on so many levels, don't stop mr Hawkins. The Darkness has thrust memories into my mind at work that are of indelible and irreplaceable value. For that I thank you. Down to my last molecule, cheers guys.

In 1976, During the opening song of a KISS concert, Ace Frehley touched a metal staircase railing and got electrocuted, it knocked him to the floor. The show was delayed for 30 minutes and Ace lost feeling in his hand for the rest of the concert. This inspired him to write "Shock me" and also was the first time he did lead vocals on a song.

Ace was the "spaceman" in KISS who was electrocuted on stage back in 1976 which inspired him to write the song, Shock Me which is featured on the Love Gun album. It was one of the highlights for many fans at KISS concerts when Ace sang it live during the Love Gun tour and beyond. I see 10,000 volts as a continuation of Shock Me from the old spaceman.

Funny to me how much the chorus to "10,000 Volts" is such a "Gene" style vocal. On purpose maybe? Never was a giant fan, but always thought Ace had the coolest character/makeup. Conversely; will admit to spinning all four sides of "Kiss Alive l" many, many times while still a teen in 70's, and also will admit that practising guitar to those four sides was how l got really good, really quickly, at using cool pentatonic phrasing in guitar solos for riff-rock. Dude's got a style that you know is him, rhythmically or soloing, in the first bar of the tune, and to my thinking that's what counts most _for any player._ Thanks Ace!

This song was stuck in my head all day today. ACE Frehley - 10,000 Volts - New album 2/24/24 One of the most influential guitarists of All-Time.

@aprilkurtz1589 5 месяцев назад

This is a fun song! Also, it's better than any Kiss song I've heard in a really long time, so I think Ace has succeeded in his quest to write the best song ever. But he might have to argue the point with Noel Gallagher, who is better than the Beatles, according to Noel Gallagher.

He's not exaggerating at all! That Space-Ace's song alone is better than what Kiss has produced in last 25 years.

Ace is like Keith Richards. A survivor who still rocks. Lyrically Ace needs to mention space, electricity, science. He's claiming his Space Ace character. The smoking guitar, lit up flashing guitar body..all his Kiss trademarks.

The best part of this is Justin reflecting on the days of trying to stay sober when he could’ve perhaps gotten along with Ace. It was really a personal thing to share and it clearly brought him back to a rougher time in his life. Cool.

@cmberrian 5 месяцев назад

You're totally right about the 6 years. Ive never heard someone else really acknowledge that it takes that long to heal mentally and emotionally from decades of active addiction. If I make it til February 7 without picking up, I'll have 8 years sober but it's really only the last year and a half that I started to feel like a actual functioning person again whose emotions didn't wildly fluctuate from day to day, amoung other things. I heard some old timer say at an AA meeting something like "if it took you ten years to walk into the forest, don't think you're going to be able to walk out in ten minutes" always thought that was a good one. As far as Ace, hes the reason I started to play guitar many years ago but lately I don't know why he keeps airing this KISS stuff in public. I guess it's because those guys basically grew up together and it goes really deep for him ( gene and Paul too). I don't know. He should just let the music do the talking. But honestly I guess if I had some former band mates talking shit about me like they did Ace, I probably couldn't keep my mouth shut either now that I think about it 🤔

Ace is not a technical player at sll; he plays and writes 100% by feel. To me, it's a very honest way to do this kind of music. I can't read music myself, because I'm legally blind, but I know what a great groove sounds like, and the two songs I've heard so far ( this one and "Walkin' On the Moon") have the perfect groove. Thank you for the review ANF your commentary :)

Hey, great review. Long time Ace fan. Saw Kiss in Boston Garden and Ace's band in an 800 seat venue in 2019. Kiss has lights, fireworks and levitating platforms. Ace has Rock n Roll swagger. He's the king of sleaze. From the South Bronx so he doesn't back down. His lyrics often reference electricity because he was electrocuted during a Kiss show in '77 and space because his Kiss character was the "Spaceman". He engineered the smoking pickup himself while in Kiss, knew how to because his hobby was building rockets. He admits that his lyrics are crap because he doesn't care. He's not for everyone, but he's authenrically himself. Gene and Paul always seem to be marketing when they talk instead of being themselves. I love the guy. With your sense of humor, I think you'd like Ace's song "Rocket Ride" off side 4 of Kiss' '77 Alive 2 record. The chorus is: Baby wants a blast Baby wants it fast. She wants a rocket ride. It's so campy that it seems like a mockumentary of a mockumentary. Sorry for the lengthy comment. Thanks for doing what you do.❤

George and Harry were in The Easybeats (and as co producers produced pop hits pre AC/DC)and Bon had also been in a pop group, so some pop elements of the 60s were brought into AC/DC.

QUESTION regarding your favorite clapping pattern: Have you heard Bowie's song Heathen (The Rays)? He uses that clapping pattern, but there's nothing joyous about it, actually, it's funereal. I'd love to or you to give it a listen and analyze how David could add such gravitas to what is almost universally a happy clappy rhythm.
