Ace Frehley Biography

Ace Frehley is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on April 27, 1951 in The Bronx, New York State, United States. Guitarist and vocalist for the heavy metal band Kiss, the group known for hits like “I Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll All Night.” He has released music as a solo artist, including the album Anomaly.

He was in the band Kiss with Gene Simmons.

Paul Daniel Frehley was born and raised in The Bronx of New York City, the youngest of three children of Esther Anna (Hecht) and Carl Daniel Frehley. His father, from Pennsylvania, was the son of Dutch immigrants, and his mother is originally from North Carolina. He has a sister, Nancy and a brother, Charles, a classical guitarist. The Frehleys were a musical family, and when Frehley received an electric guitar as a Christmas present in 1964, he immersed himself in learning the instrument. “I never went to music school; I never took a guitar lesson, but everybody in my family plays an instrument. My mother and father both played piano, his father was the church organist, and my brother and sister both played piano and acoustic guitar.” Frehley was always surrounded by music. Frehley started playing guitar at age 13. He lists Jimi Hendrix, Albert Lee, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who as his main influences.

As lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his frenetic, atmospheric playing, becoming one of the most popular guitarists in the 1970s and spawning a generation of new players. Frehley stated in the book Kiss: Behind the Mask that many guitarists have told him his playing on 1975’s hit Alive! prompted them to pick up the instrument. Frehley is well-recognized for using Gibson Les Paul guitars, including his trademarked model conversion Les Paul Custom (that was designed and implemented by John Elder Robison, known as “Ampie”, an audio engineer working with the band), which filled the stage full of smoke during his live guitar solo.

He married Jeanette Trerotola on May 10, 1976 and they had one daughter together.

One notable aspect of Trouble Walkin’ was the guest appearance of Peter Criss, who provided backing vocals on several tracks, along with Sebastian Bach and other members of Skid Row. It was the first time Criss and Frehley had performed together on an album since Kiss’ 1979 album, Dynasty, although Criss had shown up briefly at a Frehley’s Comet show in Los Angeles in 1987, playing drums on a final encore of “Deuce”. Frehley would return the favor by playing solos on Peter Criss’ Cat #1 album on TNT Records, released in 1994. In contrast to the somewhat adversarial relationship Frehley had with Kiss (particularly Gene Simmons) throughout the 1980s, he and Criss had maintained good ties during the decade. In June 1995, Frehley’s and Criss’ bands embarked on the “Bad Boys Tour” with Scarlet on guitar, marking the end of Frehley’s solo band for several years as Kiss shortly thereafter reunited and began touring together again.
