Music review: Ace Frehley – 无毛视频楽paceman无毛视频�
As a special treat this Halloween, I watched a DVD of 无毛视频淭he Paul Lynde Halloween Special无毛视频� from 1976. If you are wondering why I would do such a thing, music fans will know that Kiss made an appearance on this ABC variety show, performing three tracks from the band无毛视频檚 fifth album.
It was a great trip down memory lane seeing the boys belt out 无毛视频淒etroit Rock City无毛视频� and 无毛视频淜ing of the Night Time World,无毛视频� while slowing it down on the hit ballad 无毛视频淏eth.无毛视频�
While I was never officially a member of the Kiss Army, I did follow the band through my purchases of the legendary 无毛视频淎live!无毛视频� and 无毛视频淎live II.无毛视频�
When the band released solo efforts, Ace Frehley无毛视频檚 was the only one I purchased. In my opinion, it was by far the best of the solo releases with spirited rock tracks such as 无毛视频淩ip It Out,无毛视频� 无毛视频淪peedin无毛视频� Back to My Baby无毛视频� and 无毛视频淣ew York Groove.无毛视频�
I无毛视频檝e seen Frehley perform locally twice and have most of his albums, so I was pleased to learn that the guitarist was issuing a new studio album.
Aptly titled 无毛视频淪paceman,无毛视频� Frehley无毛视频檚 latest release is a straight-up rock assault that harkens back to Frehley无毛视频檚 glory days.
While Frehley无毛视频檚 lyrics are a little light at times, he more than makes up for it in the guitar department with his fervent playing.
无毛视频淲ithout You I无毛视频檓 Nothing无毛视频� and 无毛视频淵our Wish Is My Command无毛视频� were co-written by Frehley and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, providing hints of classic Kiss.
With songs like 无毛视频淩ockin无毛视频� With the Boys,无毛视频� 无毛视频淧ursuit of Rock and Roll无毛视频� and 无毛视频淢ission to Mars,无毛视频� Frehley rocks as hard as ever and comes across as if he无毛视频檚 having a blast doing it.
The Bronx native recalls his early days growing up on the streets with 无毛视频淏ronx Boy无毛视频� as he sings, 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 just a street kid/We seek and destroy.无毛视频�
Frehley yearns to return to simpler times and hanging out on Friday nights with a solid cover of Eddie Money无毛视频檚 无毛视频淚 Wanna Go Back.无毛视频�
The set comes to a cosmic close with the soaring instrumental 无毛视频淨uantum Flux.无毛视频�
There has been no Pittsburgh date listed yet on Frehley无毛视频檚 tour schedule. However, I did get tickets to see the farewell tour of Kiss when the band comes to Pittsburgh in March. I can guarantee that my buddies and I will be rockin无毛视频� and rollin无毛视频� all night as we say so long to the band that left a huge impact on us growing up.
