Yeah, I know -- I ramble on about Ace Frehley around here far too much.
However, I just had to post the above commercial for Ace’s new album, Anomaly. The album is due out on Sept. 15, and Ace was absolutely brilliant for tapping into his 1970s roots and putting out a wonderfully cheesy commercial that is reminiscent of the time.
And, by God, why shouldn’t I be excited about a new Ace album? He wrote some of KISS’ finest songs (“Parasite,” “Shock Me,” “Cold Gin” and “Rocket Ride,” to name but a few) and hasn’t released anything in a couple of decades.
So, enjoy the commercial. Appreciate Ace’s snide reference to that Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park movie and get ready to pick up an album from a true legend.
Oh, yeah. KISS is recording something new, too. Oddly, I just don’t care.
Remember, kids -- “It’s OK, Uncle Lumpy. Ace won’t let us down.”

Just random EC visiting and found this, and a thought about Ace: I thought he was good with KISS, and some of his solo material was fine, but on his one solo album, I thought the highlight were the songs sung by Todd Howarth. I haven't heard this in ages, so I'm probably getting my spelling wrong, but it was the tracks by Todd that I thought were the highlight.
