The world is pouring out some cold gin for the late, great Ace Frehley, the guitar spaceman of Kiss. Frehley died Oct. 16th from complications after a fall, at 74. He summed up the archetypal Seventies guitar hero if anyone did — the space cadet from the planet Jendell. He epitomized the band’s comic-book superhero persona, with his silver makeup, his platform space boots, his charismatic DGAF slouch. But his sound was primal rock power, blasting his Les Paul through a Marshall stack for the deranged solos of “Shock Me,” “Strange Ways,” and “She.” The most beloved native son of Jendell is coming home.
Kiss were all about mystique — and nobody had more of it than Ace. In a band of sensible businessmen, Ace was truly the wild one, the one who really did rock & roll all night and party every day, causing chaos wherever he went. Ace cheated death many times, whether he was zooming his DeLorean the wrong way down the Bronx River Parkway at 100 mph or meeting the Phantom of the Park. Kiss was a band full of mythical characters: Paul Stanley as the Starchild, Gene Simmons as the Demon, Peter Criss as the Cat. But Space Ace was his character.
“I eat, sleep, and drink my character,” Ace told Rolling Stone in 1977. “It is my fantasy to go to another planet. By the time I’m 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age anyway. Stardom is a temporary phase. You become a candidate for the nuthouse when you believe that what you are is everlasting.”
He definitely didn’t envision a future where he’d still be famous nearly 50 years later: “I’m gonna be on Mars. It doesn’t  in’ matter. This planet won’t be here in 50 years.”
Paul Daniel Frehley grew up in the Bronx, getting his mind blown at 15 when he witnessed the Who’s first U.S. show. He joined the other three guys in Kiss when they placed an ad in the Village Voice classifieds. “Lead Guitarist Wanted with Flash and Ability,” the ad declared. “No time wasters please.” Ace definitely didn’t waste their time. He was just 21, still living with his parents in the Bronx, but he was already oozing star power — the kind of kid who gets the nickname “Ace” when he’s just 16. His mom drove him to the Kiss audition. They shook their heads at his fashion sense — but flash and ability were never a problem for this guy.
