THE MUSIC, THE MAKEUP, THE MADNESS, AND MORE. . . . In
December of 1972, a pair of musicians placed an
advertisement in the Village Voice: “GUITARIST WANTED WITH
FLASH AND ABILITY.” Ace Frehley figured he had both, so he
answered the ad. The rest is rock ’n’ roll history.He was
just a boy from the Bronx with stars in his eyes. But when
he picked up his guitar and painted stars on his face, Ace
Frehley transformed into “The Spaceman”—and helped turn KISS
into one of the top-selling bands in the world. Now, for the
first time, the beloved rock icon reveals his side of the
story with no-holds-barred honesty . . . and no regrets.For
KISS fans, Ace offers a rare behind-the-makeup look at the
band’s legendary origins, including the lightning-bolt logo
he designed and the outfits his mother sewed. He talks about
the unspoken division within the band—he and Peter Criss
versus Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons—because the other two
didn’t “party every day.” Ace also reveals the inside story
behind his turbulent breakup with KISS, their triumphant
reunion a decade later, and his smash solo career. Along the
way, he shares wild stories about dancing at Studio 54 with
“The Bionic Woman,” working as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix,
and bar-flying all night with John Belushi. In the end, he
comes to terms with his highly publicized descent into
alcohol, drugs, and self-destruction—ultimately managing to
conquer his demons and come out on top. This is Ace Frehley.
No makeup. No apologies. No regrets.
