Anyone heard the new Ace Frehley album?
I browsed through it a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, this is awesome.
This is classic Ace Frehley songs. The riffs, solos and everything about the composition.
Anyone who knows good old rock and roll, knows about Ace.
In my opinion, he is one of the few who still writes music with the classic good old rock and roll recipe. You can hear it so clearly in his riffs, this is a 70's glam rock flash back!
Don't get me wrong on my next statement. First of all, I'm a huge KISS-fan, still. After all these years it is still my favourite band.
Now to the statement. If you listen to the new KISS albums that came out these past few years; Monster and Sonic Boom, you can hear that their songs have become more of a mass production, than a mix of soul and heart. This is not smacktalk on KISS, they are great, and their new songs are good to OK. You know how Gene describes KISS, its a franchise, moneymaker. Its not about the music anymore.
Now, enough of that. My conclusion is that Ace is still going strong whith his new album Space Invader. He is not the best guitarist in the world, nor the best vocalist. But his music is true. There is both heart and soul in what he writes, he takes his time writing his songs.
I recomend everyone to take a crack at his songs with your speakers set to loud!
Have a good listen.
Until next time!
