Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley was a visitor on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk and the unique Spaceman took exception to a quote from his former bandmate Paul Stanley stating KISS would have appeared like Piss if the unique 4 members – Frehley, Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss – carried out at their 2014 Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame induction.
Frehley: “I am pissed off about it, however what I am extra pissed off about is what he mentioned. As a result of I believe what he mentioned was hitting beneath the belt. As a result of on the time he mentioned that, I used to be already eight years sober. And he is making a press release and making an attempt to venture to the followers listening on the Howard Stern present that I used to be unreliable on the time. It is a full falsehood and it is a lie and I believe he is simply pissed off that I left the group and I am nonetheless profitable. They usually do not all the time promote out reveals. Lots of occasions they paper the home. You already know that, I do know that.”
“Let me let you know one thing my brother, no person is aware of this, however once I was residing in San Diego with my psycho girlfriend, I received a telephone name from Paul, Doc [McGhee, KISS manager] and Gene. We did a convention name they usually had been asking me to play with them on stage. They needed me to play. They needed to do it. I mentioned I am not getting up on stage with Tommy [Thayer, current KISS guitarist] if he is carrying my make-up. You count on me to put on make-up. There can be two Spacemen, are you loopy? I will do it if it is simply us 4. The unique founding members who created one thing very particular. For the final 15 years they’ve had, you understand, different folks taking part in what Peter did and Tommy’s copying each solo I ever wrote. And making an attempt to repeat my strikes. And making an attempt to be cool on stage. Unsuccessfully. Sadly, with all of the bombs and smoke and mirrors, they’re getting away with it.
“Personally I do not give a shit so long as I am getting paid by them. However so far as what he mentioned on Howard Stern, I will make a press release to Paul Stanley proper now. I am telling you that I need my formal apology for what you mentioned and a retraction and an apology inside seven days. And if I do not get that inside seven days, I will inform some dust. That no person is aware of about Paul and Gene. That I’ve all the time saved to myself as a result of I am the type of man who does not discuss this. I like to speak in regards to the optimistic stuff. You’ve got learn my ebook. You’ve got learn Paul’s ebook. You’ve got learn Peter’s ebook. Lots of occasions these guys are throwing folks below the bus. In Paul’s ebook he even threw Gene below the bus.
“What I attempted to do was have a enjoyable, entertaining ebook with attention-grabbing tales and that is the best way I’m. I am not the type of man who kisses and tells. In terms of negativity and we have all completed issues that we remorse through the years. It is there. I’ve a 120 web page manuscript that I wrote after I completed my ebook. My lawyer has it in a security deposit field. God forbid something occurs to me, my lawyer is instructed to launch it to the New York Instances, Rolling Stone, API, all people. To allow them to’t intimidate me with making an attempt to harm me or say you higher not say something about me dwell on the radio. As a result of then they’re completely screwed. Their careers can be ruined.”
Trunk posted on social media after his interview with Ace: I wouldn’t know the place to even start with @ace_frehley on #TrunkNation at present. Take heed to it for your self now on @SIRIUSXM app. However to me #SillySafe is my take away…haha. Wow. As ordinary all previous & current members of @kiss all the time welcome on my present.”
