Paul Frehley, better known as Ace, was one of the founding member of American glam rock band Kiss. Due to the outrageous costumes and heavy make-up used by Kiss, during the early part of his career with the band many of Frehley's fans didn't know what he actually looked like. During his tenure with Kiss he developed the persona of Space Ace and his trademarks became a series of novelty guitars, usually with some kind of pyrotechnic capability such as smoke generation. One memorable instrument used in the early days of Kiss would fire rockets from the neck, a gimmick which struck fear into the hearts of concert promoters and venues.
Behind the showmanship lay real talent and Frehley is considered to be one of the greatest exponents of the classic heavy metal guitar style. He was a source of inspiration for a whole generation of heavy metal guitar players during the 1970s and '80s. Frehley left Kiss in 1982 but retained one quarter of the band's profits until 1985, including earnings from the albums 'Lick It Up' and 'Animalize', even though he played no part in their creation. He started his own solo project in 1984 which became known as Frehley's Comet and enjoyed a good critical reception and healthy album sales. He rejoined Kiss in 1996 for their sell-out reunion tour but left again in 2000 to resume his solo career.
In 2009 he released solo album 'Anomaly' followed by 'Space Invader' in 2014 and 'Origins, Vol. 1' in 2016. In 2017 he announced that he was rejoining his Frehley's Comet bandmates to perform a couple of songs during a live show of his new material.
