A little while ago, I had the incredible opportunity to play guitar for Ace Frehley on his album Origins, Vol. 1. Ace Frehley is a musician that I have looked up to for many years, so this was an amazing experience for me!
Ace grew up in the Bronx, and was surrounded by music his entire life, as both of his parents and his siblings played multiple instruments. Over the years, Ace continued to play guitar, playing in a variety of local bands over the years, but he truly began his music career when he spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist and auditioned in front of Gene Simons, Peter Criss, and Paul Stanley. The three men were impressed with Frehley’s playing, and named him lead guitarist of what would become the legendary band Kiss.
As lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his frenetic, atmospheric playing becoming one of the most popular guitarists in the 1970s.
Origins, Vol. 1 was Ace’s seventh studio album, and is an album of covers of songs that inspired and influenced the way that Ace has made music throughout his career. The tracks on this album include covers of “Spanish Castle Magic” by Jimi Hendrix, “Street Fighting Man” by The Rolling Stones, and newly recorded versions of several Kiss songs that had been written by but not sung by Frehley, like “Cold Gin” and “Parasite”.
The album also included a cover of “Emerald” by Thin Lizzy, which Slash came and joined us on. While recording this song, There was a point where Slash and Ace were trading guitar solos. The two of them were sitting across from each other on the couch going back and forth and it was an incredible experience!
