Black Friday: Ace is back and he feels the need to tell you so … again
Friday, July 3rd, 2009 | musiX
Back in 1987 Ace Frehley exclaimed—in third person—”Ace is back and he told you so” in the song “Rock Soldiers” from his post-KISS debut Frehley’s Comet. Now he’s not-so-subtly telling fans again in the new promo video for his forthcoming record Anomoly, which finally has a release date set for Sept. 15.
The promo clip is about as cutting edge as his Web site. That’s OK. You see, Ace is from outer space … maybe he’s been flung through so many wormholes that he actually ended up in the year 1995. I do like the clip’s accurate depiction of the typical KISS/former-KISS-member fan as a dumpy, mulleted schlub who’s been counting the days for this momentous event. It is, after all, the Space Ace’s first solo outing in some 20 years.
Who woulda thought it would actually happen? Who cares? Well, about 5,000 dudes who look like the guy in the video. And maybe me. Couldn’t be worse than the new KISS album being recorded by Gene, Paul and those two dopes pretending to be Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
