Well, here's another post I didn't plan on making.
Ace Frehley, the original lead guitar player for KISS, passed away at the age of 74. I've been a huge KISS fan since the summer of 1977. The first KISS record I ever owned was a 45. The A side was Christeen Sixteen (sung by Gene Simmons), the B side was Shock Me (sung by Ace Frehley).
Rest in peace Space Ace.
Here's a costume released by Illusive Concepts in 1999.
NECA has been releasing Ben Cooper Costume Kids action figures in waves.
They recently released a set of KISS figures.
Thanks for sharing. My stepbrother was a big KISS fan since the Seventies and had a large collection. He passed a few years ago so I'm sure he's finally getting to meet Ace in the afterlife.
ReplyDeleteJamdin Sorry for your loss.
DeleteR.I.P. Ace :(
ReplyDeleteKISS were almost unknown here in the UK. Their only British Top 40 hit was Crazy, Crazy Nights which reached #4 in 1987.
ReplyDeleteColin Jones Their biggest US hit was Beth. It hit #7 in 1976. According to the charts that I look at, they also had a #4 hit in the UK with God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II in 1991.
DeleteYou're right, Erick - I've just checked on Wikipedia but I have no memory of that song at all even though I remember Crazy, Crazy Nights very well.
