#AceFrehley 2025 jzebraa
Ace Frehley, Paul Daniel "Ace" Frehley the original lead guitarist and co-founding member of the rock band KISS, died on October 16, 2025, at the age of 74. Known for his "Spaceman" or "Space Ace" persona, Frehley was instrumental in shaping the band's signature hard rock sound and visual identity.
He invented the persona of The Spaceman (a.k.a. Space Ace) and originally played with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure
In 1977 I was in the KISS ARMY! Not many 7 year old kids were in the KISS ARMY
But I was and I owned every single album on 8 Tracks..
I was a big fan for many years and in 1985 I got to see the
KISS UNMASKED TOUR
Wow what a Show! I was 15 years old when I went!
After leaving Kiss, Frehley formed his own band named Frehley's Comet and released two albums with the group. He subsequently embarked on a solo career, which was put on hold when he rejoined Kiss in 1996 for a highly successful reunion tour.
Origin: The song was originally written by Russ Ballard and performed by the British band Hello. Success: Frehley's cover became the highest-charting hit from his 1978 solo album, which was the most commercially successful of the four KISS solo albums released that year. Legacy:
"New York Groove" is now considered Ace Frehley's signature song and has become an unofficial anthem celebrating New York. It has been used in various media, including a 2021 ad campaign for New York after the COVID-19 pandemic..
