ACE FREHLEY On New Album “10,000 Volts”: “It's Same Guitar Playing Style As On The First KISS Album”

- čas přidán 10. 01. 2024
- Ace is Back, and I Told You So! The legendary guitarist, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and founding member of KISS, Ace Frehley, will release his newest studio album, “10,000 Volts” on February 23, 2024 via MNRK.
The first three things that come to mind when you think of Ace are guitar God, innovator, and virtuoso. He is one of the world's most respected and influential guitarists who has forged an outstanding 50-year career. What separates the innovators like Ace from those who followed, is the courage to try something different. To break the rules and rewrite them at every opportunity. To challenge himself until something completely new is created that he can call his own. Ace continues to find there are walls in guitar playing and songwriting he needs to break down.
“10,000 Volts” goes beyond the boundaries of Ace's previous solo endeavors and taps into a much statelier and melodic rock-oriented presentation of his music reminiscent of his 1978 solo album. There is no shortage of his theatrical vocals and entertaining lyrics on this release. Ace's energy is combustible as he delivers his signature crunchy guitar tone and fluid-like playing, with some blues bravado thrown in for good measure. He impressively leaps from the powerhouse opener of "10,000 Volts" to the punchy "Cherry Medicine" to the soulful balladry of "Back into My Arms Again." He closes the album with an epic guitar instrumental, "Stratosphere," showcasing his fretwork skills in all its grandeur. In total, eleven finely crafted songs that will vibrate your soul.
“10,000 Volts” was co-written and co-produced by Steve Brown of Trixter and Ace. Their dynamic partnership and chemistry shine bright on this release, and together, they are already plotting “Origins 3” and a possible live recording.
Correspondent Robert Cavuoto spoke to Ace Frehley about creating 10,000 Volts” with Steve, who helped bring this album to life. Ace shares how he has six portable recorders filled with new song ideas with has no interest in slowing down or retiring! He enjoys writing songs with positive energy and, after 17 years of sobriety, is no longer interested in writing lyrics with drug or alcohol references.
He admits he had his fair share of doubts about maintaining his creativity while getting sober but quickly realized sobriety made him even more creative. As much as Ace loves creating music, don't count on him ever releasing an entire album of instrumental guitar music, as he feels his fans might not be interested in songs where he is not singing!

Ace is so down to earth it's obvious why he couldn't continue with his old band. Bravo Ace.
Which one?😉😆🤗
@@christopherguzzi1316Where is the joke?
Down to earth? I was going to say the opposite…
You just did@@John_Doe657
Down to earth? Sounds perpetually stoned to me
It is good to see Ace's song doing so well and hopefully the album will too!
I love that Ace’s home studio is decked out like space. Lol Amazing.
As of 10/29/23, I saw Ace after the show and spoke with him face to face. I'm happy to say he was definitely sober and drinking bottled water.
The show was great!
👽👍
He sounds and looks like he's on many things in this interview. Based on what we can know about him I'd say a duck can't change its spots. Awk!!!
Looking forward to the Album. Thanks Ace for staying true.
Get ready for a tour….massive song!!🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸😎😎🤘
Got to love Ace’s shirt!
Yep. The whole video I was asking myself where could I get one!
Frickin God. I think Tommy do a good job but Ace, he's in a league of his own. I picked up the guitar because of him.I love you Ace. Never stop.🙏❤
Ace FOREVER !
Ace Frehley's 10,000 Volts Hits Hard Like A Hurricane!!! Bigups to the rest of the crew as well!!! Ace works with the best of the best!!! KILLER ALBUM!!!
ACE is back and he told you so!!!!
Rock soldiers come, Rock soldiers go...
Calling Rock soldiers!
Great interview - thanks so much!
Good interview @Robertcavuoto Ace is Ace. A lot of comments on here saying he’s drinking living in the past. It’s always comical and fun to listen to him regardless if he talks about the past, I look beyond that and just enjoy the interviews. I don’t listen to every single ace interview out there. This was a great one. I’m glad I tuned in.
He has a lot to look back on. Lots of heritage players reference their past work when discussing what they're doing now to put it in context.
I don't get persons being a fan of someone with a storied history and then complaining when they reference it. Maybe not really fans?
ACE!! 2024 European Tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please come back!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a great time to be an Ace Frehley fan right now!!
So excited to get the new album! I used to always ask you to come to New Jersey, glad you listened to me! LOL ❤⚡️🎸
The casual nosepick was something different 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe its just an oversight but Ace was talking about Jeff Beck and Gary Moore like they were both still alive!! This is the 2nd interview i watched where Ace said Kiss hasn't released an album in 20 years. Kiss' Monster was released in 2012 which would only make that 11 years, not even close!! On a postive note Ace has always been my favorite guitarist and i cant wait for the new album!!
And thankyou for your interview efforts Ace.
Ace. Please come to Pennsylvania. We love you man.
Can`t wait to hear all of the new Material, sound very promising
10,000 Volts is a Rocker and I will get the new LP. I still love Ace but he needs to cut the past out of his life.
Yes, couldn’t agree more
Ace is the man ! Best of luck to him !! And that Tshirt is the shit !!
happy new year paul frehley
Great interview
When it comes to future projects it looks like we have lots to look forward to in the future.
I hope Ace adds some Canadian dates to his touring schedule
Cheers from Canada
Thank you
Space Ace!
I'm going to see Ace in NYC, Sony Hall.
In March ! 🎸
oh... and I love Aces Shirt!
Looking forward to buy the album
Damn his studio is looking sick.
Cool interview keep going ace.now kiss stop recording albums you keep bringing out albums the ace and kiss fans will buy them can't wait for the volts album .

Steve pointing Ace in the right direction
It's a Steve Brown album.

Come on Ace! Id ❤ to see an Ace modded Iceman hanging on that wall!!
Dont do a live album. Do a live concert DVD with a soundtrack attached to it as a separate entity. Do some cool packaging, maybe a couple of Easter eggs on the DVD, plus an "Ace" guitar pick, Ace used guitar string, or a small number of 4x6 Ace drawings or doodlings (kind of how Tool's Adam Jones did some original artwork on the back of 18 COA's for his new Gibson Flying V, which were limited to 50 guitars, so not EVERY fan got the special artwork. It was purely luck of the draw, and the 18 pieces of "art" were all different as well) that would only be in a select few of the DVD packages. Maybe a replica laminated backstage pass from the recorded show(s). Do something cool like that with the packaging. It would be a total hit out of the park for you.
Im guessing "Cherry Medicine" is about Ace and Anton's preferred drink in the early 80's, lol.
"Constantly Cute" is a great title for a nice, syrupy poem, but for a rock song? No
Origins I was pretty good, but Origins II song choices stunk, IMO. Better song choices are needed for Origins III. Why not redo a KI$$ song and get Peter to sing on it? Maybe "Strange Ways?" Or a different cover tune with Pete singing?
Gotta think outside the box, my man
Probably not a good idea only for the reason ACE sings about 50% of the lyrics in most of his songs when her performs live. Part of that's age and the other part ADD, as he's more focused on his playing at any given time and forgets to sing into the mic and when he does he comes in late.
@@MikeBodo That's OK. So what if he only sings 50% or whatever of the songs? Packaged properly, the fans would absolutely buy it if the main focus is Ace, whether he's singing or not
@@JokersWild70 The fans weren't buying Ace's previous studio albums, so a lousy sounding live album from a vocal standpoint isn't going to move the needle, no matter how well it's packaged. That said, I'm excited to hear all the cuts off the new studio album, as I've heard nothing but rave reviews from those that have heard it and love the single, 10,0000 Volts. It's the best original song I've heard from ACE since he recorded "Into the Void" with Kiss on Psycho Circus.
@@MikeBodo Not so much a live record, but a DVD. 10,000 volts, which I personally don't think is anything other than getting a rating of "good," already has something like 400,000 views just on YT. I've been reading all of these fan comments on social media who are just waiting to buy the record, so a DVD of Ace playing a few of these songs live, plus some other classics, and theyd be all over it. You seem to forget that KISS studio records weren't selling well when they released "Alive!" either. In the next year would be a perfect time for Ace to record a show or two and release it not only as a DVD, but also as a live recording. I absolutely think it'd sell
@JokersWild70 LOLOL!!! Ace can barely function at this point. You expect him to read that 2000 word essay you just wrote? Just be happy that 1. New music is coming out, 2. Ace is touring, and 3. He’s not dead yet.
He can barely form coherent sentences. So don’t expect him or his team to try and do Chinese Math here. Good lord. Just getting him wrangled up to go out on stage has to be a Herculean effort. I love Ace, and Ace made KISS. I’m just glad he’s still able to function and get out there.
Ace strikes me as the kind of guy who retires 10 years after he dies. He just like music is his life and even when he's not releasing anything he's still writing and recording. I've said it many times and I'm probably in a minority here but I always thought that Ace was the best songwriter in KISS. His 78 solo record proved that. The fact that he's the only member of KISS to have any real success as a solo artist proves that. Even when he does cover, he has a great ear for them and knows how to make them work in his style. His arrangement of 2000 Man is far better than The Rolling Stones original version.
Agree! My favorite Kiss songs are almost all Ace songs.
The songs get away ,fly away rip it up, New York groove and I thought great songs but didn't know they were Mr. Ace Frehley. He has astronomical talent and a stellar singing voice in 10,000 volts.! Give credit where credits due.🎸🤘👍
Brian Baker from Bad Religion lives in Jersey too. Would be amazing for Ace Frehley and Bad Religion to record and perform something together! #AceFrehleyBadReligion
Cool dude
I think Ace meant Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush.
I think Stevie Ray Vaughn but we will never know
I'm watching The Greatest Show on Earth Echo hopefully we get season 10
He was the spaceman now he's just ace
He'll always be the real spaceman!
Gene and Paul don't care what you do. They made billions in 50 years.
P s. Great minds. Think alike. I got 20 songs for the next ALBUM 20000 THOUSAND VOLTS !!(DOUBLE THE ROCK!!
When he says he's been sober for 17 years, understand that's a total over the course of his life. Not a new personal record. You can't bullshit a bullshitter. New record sounds good though. Ace is probably not as nice as you might think, but I'm pretty sure he's a 'don't start no shit there won't be no shit' type of dude too. Kiss needed a trippy type dude. They suffer without it musically. Live they get it done with some Paul fakery... Kiss would have been revered as black Sabbath level if they let more ace songs on, let Peter sing more and let gene 'be part of the band' and do mostly merchandising, playing bass and harmonies. I've heard stuff about paul. Some I believe, his song writing and drive. Drive is a double edge sword..
He put the band on his shoulders. Ace solo was the album we wanted because kiss fans like ace songs and we were deprived on most releases. Paul released a very very good kiss record with his solo record. I put the other two solo albums at the very end of my favorite kiss album list. They should have let ace do weird Jimi type stuff. And if he still quit I wish they would've got randy Rhoads to replace ace. Kiss would have kept that guy alive. He didn't do drugs. He was a teacher, he would have gave the band van Halen credit for the 80's. Literally the perfect fit. Ace can't say he's on Randy's level... Ducking no-one can. I love ace but just sayin
I think Ace was trying to say Stevie Ray Vaughn as far as sounding close to Hendrix
me too, I thought of that when the interview ended
@@robertcavuoto Really good interview! Really excited to get the new album
salt of the earth!
The answer is Frank Marino!
Once Ai becomes self-aware same time we get to Mars
30 seconds in already talking about Paul and Gene 🤦♂️
The Wanderers, not The Warriors.
No, it's called the Warriors. Have you ever seen the film?
@JokersWild70
If he's talking about the Ducky boys it's the Wanderers. Warriors is another gang movie
@@whataboutrob442 Personally, I like the Baseball Furies, lol
@@JokersWild70 For sure! Awesome and creepy
Let’s be honest…this album is a Steve album. Anyone who has seen Ace play in the past 6 months knows that he can’t hear, he can’t play, and can barely talk without slurring. I know that’s all due to age and earlier abuse…but the truth is most of this album is someone else. With that said…I’d much rather have a new ACE album instead of hearing KISS gargle through old songs.
FREHLEYIZHERE27
Get Peter Criss to drum and Sing on Origins 3.
Randy Hansen
Well I read two weeks ago that Ace said this album was just like Rock and Roll Over. So I think he might be back on the pills again. Ace's story changes to often. I am starting to believe a book about him by Wendy Moore.
That book was wild
Ummmmmm, he's been on something or multiple somethings for a few years now
@Abefroman1812 🤣😅🤮
Wendy Moore's book is great. It's spot on.
Her second one is good to. Reading it now but it isn't about Ace at all.@@whataboutrob442
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Randy Hansen !
John Butcher?
This is really a Steve Brown album.
I wish Ace was as good at making money 💵 as he was playing guitar!
Why must he mention Paul and Gene in EVERY interview???? I can't take hearing his slurred speech much longer. He continues to make ridiculous statements over and over. He still owns the Spaceman makeup design. NO, he doesn't. He's going to get royalties from the KISS avatars. NO, he won't. This is my best album since my '78 solo album. He says that with EVERY new album he puts out. If all these albums are so great, why doesn't he play any of the songs live??? He plays more KISS songs in his average set [ some he neither wrote or sang] than he does his own solo material. Why does he need TWO other guitar players in his band? Because he barely plays in his live shows now. Gene and Paul are jealous of his success? NO they're not jealous of a guy playing to partially filled 2,000 seat venues. Tommy Thayer is going to have to go back to the bread line? NO- my guess is Thayer probably made as much per show as Ace does currently [since Ace can only partially fill 2,000 seat venues. I've been a KISS fan since 1974. Ace was GREAT and an integral part of what made KISS successful. He isn't anymore, and every time he opens his mouth he says something stupid. Maybe he has early dementia, or maybe years of drug and alcohol abuse has rotted his brain. I wish he'd just shut up already.
Was Stevie Ray Vaughan the closest to Hendrix…?
I have a feel that is who he was thinking
Ace Needs to get over him self and stop blaming every one else for his stuff ups
"The first three things that come to mind when you think of Ace are guitar God, innovator, and virtuoso."
innovator, and virtuoso.🙄
Come on. I like Ace, but jeesh.
Why would they think it's an attack on them? That doesn't make sense, he put out an album he didn't do anything to them. Lol
Love ace but he needs to let the past go and lay off the bottle! He is such a god when he's sober.
When has he been sober with good music and playing?
From what I know, he has been sober for years now. Not drinking anymore. He is kind of slow here, but I don't think he drinks anymore.
@@sandycis2 what one of his recent videos he's completely hammered. He can't even play. Not to mention listen to this
@@sandycis2 watch one of his recent videos, he can barely play or sing. Not mention listen to this interview he's totally loaded!! He says he sober only the days he's sober lmao.
Ace still blames "The Elder". He then cooperated quite well for the album, according to Paul. But he left KISS because his addiction became worse.
And obviously Ace still is proud:"Paul knew immediately that I was the right guy". It's good to see that Ace now found a new "brother in Rock'n' Roll''. Steve Brown. 10.000 Volts is nice, but Steve can not make Ace GREAT again.
:(
No ACE/PETER...NO KISS...PEOPLE
Booger Frehley
Ace doesn't know shit about EVH. Eddie's solos are very melodic and singable. Ace can't touch him.. and ps. I'm a big 70s Ace fan.. But Ace doesn't play anything like he used to. His solos today are not memorable at all. I've come to think Ace is jackass, and he doesn't give one shit about his fans. He basically said it himself here on air; he can't be bothered by kids wanting his autograph at a convention.
Yeah people don't like a solo act. Like Elvis or MJ. I get drugged a lot for being a solo act. Clones always showing up with their clone tricks, same as the last clone and the clone before that. Same ingredients and stupid bullshit coming from the same unwanted source. All looking to be promoted. Happy to hide behind a drum set , until they feel underated and start wanting and have done enough to start stirring up controversy and problems. Start wanting recognition, and credit and control and power and say of what happens and control and to be the leader. And all this " what I've done for you". Crap. " Wouldn't exist without me" stuff. .
so the same as all the albums then...
Ace take it easy there same guitar licks
as early kiss. Boring .need fresh licks
there Ace .
Just made me laugh he scared his right side off his neck like Gene does
I believe "Alcohol Ace" has damaged his brain with too much drinking! 🥺
That and he's just about likely to be back on pills
@Abefroman1812 He likes playing nurse 🤣
Is the same garbage and Bore me . I love kiss and gene and paul consider him an enemy . I will not buy his album also because the sound is vintage and his music is vomit to me. Why continue to talk about kiss ? With him in the lineup of kiss was named piss 😄😄😄
Hi Paul
Geez you sound like a very miserable & unhappy person
I hope you dont own any guns
Seek professional help asap
Is Ace drunk or what? Anyway that nose-picking on camera looks like dementia signs
Ok, but hes said how great every record hes done is the best. Thats what bands say. I mean, the single is pretty good, but its not "Back in Black" or anything. Good solo, meh verses, and a decent chorus. I wouldnt say its shit, but its not great either, IMO.
And yes, Ace, it's pretty obvious youre back on something. My guess is pills. Get a better wig, stop dying the goatee, start giving a shit about your fans, and put a little effort into your performances, because right now, theyre also meh. Quit with the Paul and Gene swipes too, please. Its enough. They didnt want to pay you 250K per show to play 2 or 3 songs at the last few shows. Get over it
Ace best check his math, because Kiss did two albums in the past 15 years. This guy and thinking his voice is good is just whack!😂
Ace sounds like his speech is a little slurred. I hope he's not using anything again.
Guess what...
@@remember-when-in-doubt... Based on how he speaks and acts, it's my opinion that he's absolutely on something, and it's most likely pills. His GF has that coke or meth jaw thing happening in many of the recent pics and videos I've seen of her. It doesn't seem like a healthy relationship, but that's Aces choice. He's a big boy
He has been sober 17 years is what was said in this interview.. IDK.
@@sandycis2 Yep, and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a factual story too 😅
@@JokersWild70 Well, I was just stating what Ace said. I agree something doesn't seem right, but according to him his Dr. said he is doing great!! His Blood Cells are better than ever! 😎 Who knows! 🤞
Same style of playing. So just like Kiss said Ace can't evolve.
Any interview with Joey Kasserta?
I still laugh about that!😂
I LOVE Ace, but DAAAAAAMN. It’s always the exact same comments just like Gene & Paul. Change it up every now and then. And interviewers; QUIT ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS. 👍🎸♠️❤️
Blood work getting better? Lol I don’t believe that for a minute.
Ace is looking like he's on something !
I hope not! He says he is 17 years sober.
I liked to believe that, but he posted a reel with his new GF in NY just a week or so ago about showing up late at Times Square for the New Years celebrations . Both of them looked high, both had a bad case of grinding their jaws, Ace couldn't stop grinding his jaw even when not speaking and she looked pretty fucking high, most of the comments were suggesting the same thing ! Been around the party seen enough to know when someones high on shit and he looked high as fuck, sadly ! I watched it a few times wanting to believe he wasn't fucked up, he looked it. @@sandycis2
This is what sober over 17 years looks like? What a shit show.
Is my hero drunk?
