Ace Frehley started playing
guitar at the age of 13. He lists the
instrumental group "The Ventures" as
his first major musical influence. Other
influences are Jimi Hendrix, Cream , and The Who.
Ace Frehley was the first lead guitarist for
KISS. After KISS had auditioned over 60 lead
players, Ace tried out and got the job.
The May 1994 issue of Guitar World Magazine
listed Ace Frehley at #9 in their "The 100
Most Important People In Guitar" article. He
was also inducted into the "Rockwalk of
Fame" in Hollywood, Ca.
Ace quit KISS after making the "I Love It
Loud" video. His face is on the original
"Creatures Of The Night" album cover,
but he did not play on it.
After the success of his first solo album, Ace
thought he could have more fun making music on
his own, and could forgo the tension and politics
of KISS. Ace rejoined Kiss in February of 1996.
