33
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:01.400
today I am doing another memorial tribute show and I

34
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.640
did one just a few months ago after the passing

35
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.799
of Ozzie back in July, which which was completely devastating

36
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.639
for me. But just a few days ago another musical

37
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.759
hero of mine passed away and I'm talking about the

38
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.400
one and only original and legendary guitars for kiss, Ace Frehley,

39
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.800
and I truly believe that he was one of the

40
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.560
most influential guitarists in hard rock and heavy metal history. Now,

41
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.039
he wasn't the best guitar player, and I think even

42
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.759
Ace himself he admitted that and many guitar players out

43
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.680
there who were influenced by Ace are so much better

44
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.199
as a guitar player, just more technical, more proficient on

45
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.360
the instrument. But there was something special about Ace. I mean,

46
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.759
you could talk about Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy Page and

47
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.560
Eric Clapton as being influential, but when it comes to

48
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.400
hard rock and metal, Ace Freely was dude. I mean,

49
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.319
just even just judging by all the outpouring of tributes

50
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:10.400
on the passing of Ace online on social media, so

51
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.560
so many guitar players and musicians just pouring out their

52
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.800
hearts saying how much Ace meant to them and growing up.

53
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.800
I mean, these guys are posting pictures of them dressed

54
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.560
as Ace Freely when there were kids for like Halloween,

55
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.120
and old pictures of them with Ace back in the

56
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.599
day or recently. And it's just been a crazy few

57
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.199
days here and it's so sad. I mean, he was

58
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.400
only seventy four years old. He did pass away after

59
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.919
taking a fall in his studio. Looks like he hit

60
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.960
his head. He started to have a brain bleed and

61
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.560
it just progressed from there and he just passed away

62
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.039
on Thursday, October the sixteenth, So rest in peace to

63
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.960
Ace Freeley. So today I'm going to be doing a

64
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.680
show just an entire tribute to him. I'm gonna be

65
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.680
playing some of my favorite songs. I myself was influenced

66
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.879
by Ace Freeley from a very young age. Back in

67
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.120
nineteen seventy six was the first time I heard of

68
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:16.319
the Kiss and I had a childhood friend, his name

69
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:22.240
is Aaron Troy Danner, and he played the first cut

70
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.519
on side too of Dressed to Kill for Me one

71
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.319
day and it was a song come On and Love Me.

72
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.480
I've told this story on this show before, I've told

73
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.519
it on the Get the Fluff Out podcast, and that

74
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.120
was it. I was hooked and I love that song,

75
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.680
and that particular album, Dressed to Kill is to this

76
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.480
day still one of my favorites because it was so

77
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:49.920
instrumental in introducing me to rock, hard rock and the

78
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.759
gateway to heavy metal. And so today I'll be playing songs,

79
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.759
like I said, some of my favorite songs. I'll be

80
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.560
playing some of my favorite guitar solos by Ace. I'll

81
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.720
be talking about other people who have been posting tributes online,

82
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.920
as well as playing a little clip from the infamous

83
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:16.600
Tom Snyder interview back in the late seventies. So all right, guys,

84
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.000
let's go ahead and just play some tracks here and

85
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.000
just have a good time, and let us just reflect

86
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:30.040
on this wonderful person and musical genius that influenced so

87
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.000
many musicians and just enjoy the music for what it is.

88
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.560
So I'm going to start off the set tonight with

89
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.959
one of my favorites, and I'm sure many favorites of

90
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.560
those in the metal community, off the album Hottered in Hell.

91
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.480
This is Parasite, And you're listening to gen X Rock

92
00:05:46.519 --> 00:06:09.399
Hidden Treasures on ninety nine point one FM KLBP, Long Beach, California.

93
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:26.199
As me a trounds a bow, s B sill the bosow,

94
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.199

95
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.959
Brus PARUSI.

96
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.600
PURSI don't need to go.

97
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.319
Loa have a long way.

98
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.480
I'm so a.

99
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:20.240
Long aside A hold a long stead.

100
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:37.480
Parson parside, Parson.

101
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:40.879
Going to.

102
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.720
My name is Hollywood. And you're listening to gen X

103
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.039
Rocket and Treasures one nine point one F M KLBP,

104
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.000
Long Beach, California. And that was a track called Parasite

105
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.600
off of the album Hotter than Hell from nineteen seventy four,

106
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.960
which was the second album by Kiss, and that was

107
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.279
a song written by Ace freely himself. He didn't do

108
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.159
the lead vocals that was done by Gene Simmons, but

109
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.120
on this track. This is one of those legendary tracks

110
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.320
that have been covered several times by other bands. In fact,

111
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.559
probably the most famous cover is done by Anthrax and Scotty.

112
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:29.240
And he did post a memorial tribute on online and

113
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.960
he said Ace a master at writing guitar solos that

114
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.919
are as hooky as the chorus. Go ahead, I bet

115
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.879
you could sing at least a dozen of Aces solos.

116
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.919
And then he mentioned how he saw Kiss for the

117
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.320
second time in nineteen seventy seven at Madison Square Garden.

118
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.000
It was special for him. He mentioned how there was

119
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.679
no adult supervision at that time, and he says, there

120
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.720
are so many tales to tell from five decades of

121
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.159
friendship with Ace. I'll start with the video posted of

122
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.799
the rehearsal for the Kiss tribute at the VH one

123
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.360
Honors in two thousand. He goes on to tell about

124
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.720
the different players and musicians that were there, and then

125
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.200
how Ace had come out on stage right next to

126
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.799
him to play God of Thunder, and he goes on

127
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.200
to say there I am. I got to stand right

128
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.679
in front of Ace for the solo. It was so

129
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.240
awesome on so many levels, and in that moment, I'm

130
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.600
totally homering out repeating Paul's Ace freely lead guitar yell

131
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.679
over and over in my head, rock and roll dreams

132
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.519
do come true. Ace was a hero and a friend,

133
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.879
peace and love Space, Ace. So that's just one of

134
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.840
many tributes from so many musicians out there. In fact,

135
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.320
why don't we go ahead and since Scottian mentioned it, one,

136
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.600
we played just a little bit of that guitar solo

137
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.440
from God of Thunder. I love this solo because it's

138
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.039
kind of haunting, it's it's dark, and just check it out,

139
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.799
all right. That was just a little bit of the

140
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.320
guitar solo from God of Thunder and what a really

141
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:32.120
cool solo, very just simple, yet very effective. Let's go

142
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.120
ahead and continue with the show with one of my

143
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.679
favorite tracks off of Ace Frieli's Kiss solo album from

144
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.879
nineteen seventy eight. Here's the lead track, Rip it out

145
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.080
and you're listening to gen X Rock Hidden Treasures on

146
00:11:44.279 --> 00:12:00.639
ninety nine point one FM KLBP, Long Beach, California, now

147
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.720
you can see lying all the time.

148
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.799
I didn't know you're going.

149
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:17.639
I'm come. I'm trying just to find out how we went.

150
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.240
But I know that I can't.

151
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.519
Trust your girl anything.

152
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.320
Rip it out, take my mom. She wanted.

153
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.440
Sucking the song.

154
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.480
You got it now, so so rip it out, watch

155
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.559
it from.

156
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.799
It's so sad.

157
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.440
I'm not glad to be will me too?

158
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.360
And it's bad because I can't not the paything by.

159
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.559
If I know I'll sick.

160
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.879
Yeah, I don't think that.

161
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.879
I think it's better if.

162
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.360
We just fun, don't.

163
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:14.639
Take the.

164
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.279
Ribbon out.

165
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:29.120
Say she wanted from the start, she got it down,

166
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.600
so fuck so bring out watch me cry.

167
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.639
I want you to stop.

168
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.759
Some song you gotta dass so so.

169
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.519
You got a.

170
00:14:55.039 --> 00:15:15.879
So my name is Hollywood and you're listening to the

171
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.639
special memorial tribute to Ace Frehley. And that was a

172
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.360
song called Rip It Out, which was a lead track

173
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.639
off of his nineteen seventy eight Kiss solo album. What

174
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.080
a great track. I love the musical break in there,

175
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.120
the drumming by Anton fig is exceptional, and the guitar

176
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.879
solo is so awesome on this song. In fact, thinking

177
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.519
about guitar solos, I was looking at some more tributes

178
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.639
here and here's one by Pearl Jams. Mike McCready he

179
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.279
said this quote, all my friends have spent untold hours

180
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.960
talking about kiss and buying kiss stuff. Ace was a

181
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.559
hero of mine and also I would consider a friend.

182
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.879
I studied his solos endlessly over the years. Just listen

183
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.600
to a live I used his solo from She as

184
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:01.519
a template. Ace jammed on Black Diamond with Pearl Jam

185
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.559
at Madison Square Garden a dream come true for me.

186
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:06.759
I would not have picked up a guitar without Ace

187
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.200
and Kisses influence. Rip it out, Ace, you changed my life.

188
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.559
Thank you, Mike McCready, Pearl Jam. And so since he

189
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.840
mentioned the guitar solo for She, let's go and play

190
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:43.240
a little bit of that. There you go, the guitar

191
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:46.440
solo for She. What a great song, creat a hard

192
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.480
and heavy, just early metal song. I love that song She.

193
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.080
And since he also mentioned that Pearl Jam they jammed

194
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.320
out on the song Black Diamond, let's hear a little

195
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.240
bit of the guitar solo from Black Diamond because that

196
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:39.759
it's in itself is a classic solo. And there you go.

197
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.799
That's the ending solo for Black Diamond and just that

198
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.279
guitar solo, those sliding octaves back and forth. When I

199
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.839
became a guitar player and I learned how to do that,

200
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.079
I flipped on. I'm like, oh my god, I'm sliding

201
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.920
like Ace Freely, so awesome.

202
00:17:59.039 --> 00:17:59.519
I love it.

203
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.119
So I want to go ahead, and I want to

204
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.799
get in as many of these condolences as possible here

205
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:08.319
on the show. This one's from Peter Chris and he

206
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:13.640
mentions here quote with a broken heart and deep, deep sadness,

207
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.359
my brother Ace Freely has passed away. He died peacefully

208
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.039
with his family around him. My wife and I were

209
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.599
with him to the end as well. I love you,

210
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.880
my brother. My love and prayers go out to Jeanette, Monique, Charlie, Nancy,

211
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.440
and all of Ace's extended family, bandmates, fans, and friends.

212
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.720
May the Lord comfort you at this difficult time. As

213
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.440
a founding member of the rock group Kiss and an

214
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.319
Ace's solo career, Ace influence and touched the hearts of

215
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.039
millions of people. His legacy will live on in the

216
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.279
music industry and in the hearts of the Kiss army.

217
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.640
At this time, I asked that all of you please

218
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.319
be respectful to Ace's family and allow them to grieve privately.

219
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.480
To the Kiss Army and Aces Rock Soldiers, my heart

220
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.440
is with you, all broken. God bless Peter. Chris. Wow,

221
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:09.960
very heartfelt. That was tough to read. Well anyway, Let's

222
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.759
go ahead. Since Peter mentioned about how the Kiss Army

223
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:18.319
and Aces Rock Soldiers are all together united in grief

224
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.559
and in memorial of Ace, let's play Rock Soldiers off

225
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.400
of Aces Frayley's comment album from nineteen eighty seven, and

226
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.240
you're listening to ninety nine point one FM KLBP.

227
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.200
It was back in the summer of eighty three.

228
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.160
There's the reason I remember it well.

229
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.200
I was setting flatten, drinking and trapping, bringing me close

230
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:08.799
to hell, and the devil sat at the passenger's side

231
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.400
of the Lorens onto a field.

232
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.240
He said, he fairly friendly.

233
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.319
Let's not be silly.

234
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:17.720
There's a life out there that's step wow. So's just go.

235
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:27.279
Wow, so just go so drum.

236
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:35.400
Sound So.

237
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.000
I don't know. I'm suspecting.

238
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.319
I told your soff.

239
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.680
Where the trooper and the mirror and satan?

240
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:00.160
Ah?

241
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.160
My right, We've got wrong way down the one way

242
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.200
road and everything is scientic.

243
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:15.680
I cried.

244
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.960
I am in principle said I was high and will belong.

245
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.720
Well, my only eye was just alive, and now I'm

246
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.480
glad I saw right, So.

247
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.519
We just come.

248
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:35.839
Why so we'll just go? It's so a drum.

249
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.319
And so.

250
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.359
I right, soldiers, way.

251
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.359
No expected told you so?

252
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.519
Holy soldier, you.

253
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:18.200
Rot soldiers, Holy rock.

254
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:49.519
Solder, a rock soldier? Why say they stayed with him?

255
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.680
Letter that dangerous son.

256
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.839
But the closer you get to that fiery hole, you'll

257
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.519
have to make it a lot.

258
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.440
When I think of how my life was spared from

259
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.920
that near fatal wreck.

260
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.400
If the devil wants to play his card game down, he's.

261
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:22.160
Gonna play without an Ace in his deck. So to come.

262
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.440
Why so?

263
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:34.440
So it sound.

264
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:49.680
So we know? Fuck? So come.

265
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.799
So go.

266
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:05.440
So my name is DJ Hollywood and you're listening to

267
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.400
ninety nine point one FM KLBP in Long Beach, California.

268
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.079
And that was a song called rock Soldiers, taking off

269
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.839
of Ace Fraley's album Frehley's Comet from nineteen eighty seven.

270
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.519
And that was the band and the album that Eddie

271
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.839
trunk himself. He was the one who brought Ace back

272
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.559
out of quote unquote retirement or from obscurity after he

273
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.599
had left Kiss, he was nowhere to be found. Eddie

274
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.279
Trunk went ahead and when he was the vice president

275
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.599
of Mega Force Records, found Ace and was able to

276
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.240
get him signed to the label and finally get him

277
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:43.400
to release a solo album. So I'm so happy that

278
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:46.920
Eddie Trunk was able to do that himself. He posted

279
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.839
his own tribute video tribute, and he was super, super emotional.

280
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.720
He knew that this was going to happen, and he

281
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.200
was there to the end. And so I was looking

282
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.799
at some other tributes here one from Rush and Gedty

283
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:06.079
Li says this quote. I am absolutely stunned and saddened

284
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.680
by the news of Ace Freeley has tragically passed away.

285
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.480
Back in nineteen seventy four, as the opening act for Kiss,

286
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.559
Alex Neil and myself spent many a night hanging out

287
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.960
together in his hotel room after shows, doing whatever nonsense

288
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.279
we could think of just to make him break out

289
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.559
his inimitable, infectious laugh. He was an undeniable character and

290
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.119
an authentic rock star. Rest in peace, Ace, thanks for

291
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.759
welcoming us newbies into the rock and roll world. End

292
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.920
quote Getty. And so with that in mind, the laugh

293
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:44.720
that he's talking about is personified in the infamous Tom

294
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.599
Snyder interview from nineteen seventy nine. So if you hadn't

295
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.000
heard it before, here's a little clip of probably the

296
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.240
most famous part of it. The whole show itself is

297
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:59.480
about thirty minutes long, but this little clip is just priceless.

298
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.160
Here's Kiss and Ace freely talking to Tom Snyder in

299
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:04.359
nineteen seventy nine.

300
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.960
Tell me about your outfits. I mean, dude, did you

301
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.359
design your own outfits?

302
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:08.720
All of you?

303
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.480
And then tell me what each outfit means? And I'll

304
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:13.359
start with you Ace, Well, that.

305
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:19.599
Means self explanatory. I mean, you know, this is part

306
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.240
of a kind of a V shape. This is my

307
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.480
utility belt, and we don't want to go any belower

308
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.400
than my waist area because that's reserved for constant.

309
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:29.680
I understand that.

310
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.920
And they say this is that.

311
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.559
I still listen Flash Gordon, and you know I have

312
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.799
my okay, but you're kind of like a spaceman. No, actually,

313
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:43.000
I'm a plumber.

314
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.359
On the side.

315
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:48.880
Listen, I got a little piece of pipe back stage.

316
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.119
I'd like to have you work on.

317
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.920
Tell you about that.

318
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:03.680
But that you all sweet talk.

319
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:08.799
Wow, that was so hilarious. I mean, if you're a

320
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.079
Kiss fan and you've never heard that. Come on, you

321
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:13.440
got to listen to that. Go to YouTube check out

322
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:19.559
Kiss Tom Snyder interview nineteen seventy nine. It's so good.

323
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.880
Obviously you could hear Ace was wasted. He was drunk,

324
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.279
and so was Peter cris So both of them were

325
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.279
having a good time. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley not so much.

326
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.960
In fact, Gene, he was just so upset throughout the interview.

327
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.039
He cracked a smile, laughed a little bit, just a

328
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.480
couple of times, but the most of the interview he

329
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:43.720
was just giving Ace the evil eye. It just and

330
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:47.160
Ace is all having fun over there, you know. So yeah,

331
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.519
Ace definitely was was a strange dude. So with that

332
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.039
in mind, let's go back to the album Hotter than

333
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:57.680
Hell and play the song Strange Ways, written by Ace

Strange place.

Again, Payne, you're listening to gen X Rock Hidden Treasures.

353
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:22.119
My name is Hollywood, and you're listening to the special

354
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.920
memorial tribute to Ace Frailey, And that song was Strange

355
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.200
Ways taking off of the album Hotter than Hell. I

356
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:30.720
love that song, one of my favorites on the album.

357
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.279
I want to get in a couple more guitar solos here,

358
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:35.240
as I'm trying to fit in as much as possible

359
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.799
into the show here. This next guitar solo comes from

360
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.039
Ace Frayley's Kiss solo album from nineteen seventy eight. This

361
00:31:42.160 --> 00:32:30.079
is from the song I'm in Need of Love all Right,

362
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.880
absolute fantastic solo. And keeping with the theme of love,

363
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.240
here's a guitar solo from the song I Stole Your

364
00:32:37.319 --> 00:33:01.400
Love from the album Love Gun all Right. That was

365
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.119
a solo for I Stole Your Love taking off of

366
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.319
the album Love Gun. Another great solo. And speaking of

367
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:12.319
solo wing, here's a tribute and condolence from just a

368
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.920
virtuoso guitar player himself, the legendary Steve VI. He wrote

369
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:21.279
this quote. Ace freely was the embodiment of rock and

370
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:27.000
roll attitude, unapologetic, loud, and irresistibly catchy. His riffs had swagger,

371
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.119
his tone had bite, and his presence lit up stages

372
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.000
like a supernova. During my teenage years, his playing inspired

373
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.559
me not only because it was polished, but because it

374
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.119
was gloriously unfiltered and full of life. Ace reminded us

375
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.319
that rock should never apologize for being fun, and that

376
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.279
a little chaos can sound downright heavenly. My heartfelt condolences

377
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.680
to his family, friends and fans. The spaceman has left

378
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.400
the stage, but his orbit will shine forever. So that

379
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.759
comes from Steve VI and speaking of leaving the stage

380
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.559
as a space man and being in orbit, I think

381
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.599
it's time to take a rocket ride right here from

382
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.320
the beach on KLBP Long Beach, California.

383
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:32.480

And my name is Hollywood and you're listening to gen

418
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.639
X Rock Hidden Treasures here on KLBP. And this is

419
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.480
the special memorial tribute to Ace Frehley. And that was

420
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.400
a song called rocket Ryde And that was taken off

421
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.320
of the fourth side of Kiss Alive two from nineteen

422
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.440
seventy seven. That's a side that was not live. It

423
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.159
was just studio recordings. That was actually the best of

424
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.000
all of those studio recording songs. I absolutely loved that song,

425
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.840
and I freaking love the shredding guitar solo with the

426
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.800
wah wah pedal. I love that track. Time for some

427
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.320
more tributes here. This one's from Nuno Bettencourt. He says,

428
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.360
quote Solong Spaceman, first rock band. I wanted to be like,

429
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.840
thank you for the music and thank you for your kindness.

430
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.159
That made a little eight year old kid's heart explode

431
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.280
and without a doubt, the great laugh and kiss in

432
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.840
rock history. Kiss Forever. And then we have another one

433
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:11.119
from another legendary guitar player, John Five, and he says

434
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.400
this quote, I am so shocked and sad and that

435
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.519
this happened to my hero and my friend. I've known

436
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:20.760
a since nineteen eighty eight and we've been very close

437
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:21.320
ever since.

438
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:21.519
Then.

439
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.119
Ace changed the world. He influenced millions of people and

440
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.280
changed my life. I will miss you, my friend, and

441
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:32.159
John five, he really is. He is a huge Kiss fan.

442
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.920
He actually owns a Kiss museum here in Los Angeles.

443
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.360
He has this huge warehouse. He gives tours of all

444
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.159
of the Kiss memorabilia that he has collected and owned

445
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.639
over the years. It's massive. You can actually find it online.

446
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:52.360
Just look up John five Kiss Museum and if you're

447
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.239
in the Los Angeles area you want to tour it

448
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:57.199
and see all that Kiss memorabilia, go ahead and check

449
00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:59.639
that out. All right, let's continue with the music. We're

450
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.239
gonna go back to the album. Frehley's comment. Another one

451
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:05.280
of the songs that I love on that album. This

452
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.599
is a song called into the Night right here on

453
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:10.599
gen X Rock Hidden Treasures.

454
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:26.360
Am on a downtown street. They're on the corn and

455
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:27.599
stranges meat.

456
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:30.599
A knight.

457
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:34.760
And then then feel the dead break.

458
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:36.880
They are gonna love them befall.

459
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:37.199
The light.

460
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:48.719
Break in the night, looking alleys on its stand.

461
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:55.559
They by that time what they can they just to

462
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:57.119
dance that b.

463
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:00.920
The night.

464
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:11.880
Somewhere in the night they do when they time, just.

465
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.159
In the night, in the night, I'm on the seat

466
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.719
in the heart of town, A lady and bud. She

467
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.199
turns around.

468
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:32.079
In the night and she stands at the man in

469
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:34.480
the cabillac heads by.

470
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:35.840
A shoe, but back.

471
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:38.760
So the night.

472
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.280
And in the night, sleeping in the middle on the road.

473
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:51.599
O can he be when he'll turn around and seems

474
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.880
me because when I see my dreams, my dream and.

475
00:41:56.039 --> 00:42:06.000
Seven free the night, somewhere in the night, Oh how

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:14.440
they do what they do? Just get through there and

477
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.599
the night in the night.

478
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.320
When the sun goes stamp AND's.

479
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:27.480
Like goa stem stole the moving for the kill.

480
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:32.239
If you're gonna come back again, if you would take

481
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:37.280
away this pail, but don't know if you ever win.

482
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:40.639
In the night?

483
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:44.440
What see you so nice?

484
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.400
So loud means a knife.

485
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:50.559
And the knights.

486
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:17.159
Let feel so night?

487
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:21.960
Could you do what you do?

488
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:24.239
Yes?

489
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.360
Nice, somewhere nice.

490
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:07.360
Welcome back to gen X Rock Hitting Treasures. My name

491
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.280
is Hollywood. This is ninety nine point one FM KALBP

492
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.119
in Long Beach, California. And that was a song called

493
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.840
Into the Night, taking off of the album. Freeley's comment

494
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.679
from nineteen eighty seven. One of my absolute favorite songs.

495
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.840
The guitar solo on this song towards the end there,

496
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:26.960
it just it raises the hairs on my body. It's

497
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:33.239
so chilling. I love it, goosebumps something. It's so melodic

498
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:35.840
and something going on with a solo there that just

499
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.519
I love so much. I could play that song over

500
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.519
and over. Let's go to some more tributes here. Tom Morello,

501
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:46.920
he wrote this quote, my first guitar hero, Ace Freely,

502
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:52.280
has passed away. The legendary Space Ace Freely inspired generations

503
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.760
to love rock and roll and love rock and roll

504
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.719
guitar playing his timeless rifts and solos, the billowing smoke

505
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:02.199
coming from his less pau the rocket shooting from his headstock,

506
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:07.239
his cool spacey on stage wobble, and his unforgettable crazy

507
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:11.320
laugh will be missed but will never be forgotten. Thank you,

508
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:14.920
Ace for a lifetime of great music and memories. So

509
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:21.400
the time has come for my absolute favorite live Kiss

510
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:25.960
song ever. This is the song that made me want

511
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:29.119
to become a rock star and be a guitar player.

512
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.039
I love this song to the heart and core of

513
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:35.800
my soul, and everybody who is a hardcore Kiss fan

514
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.519
knows the introduction to the song from Kiss Alive two,

515
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.360
when Paul Stanley goes up to the microphone and says,

516
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:45.119
we got.

517
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:47.920

00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:48.840

00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:54.840
To a shock bend. We got the brith for you tonight.

M M.

543
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:43.199
My name is Hollywood and this is gen X Rock

544
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.760
Hidden Treasures on a special Ace Frailey tribute show, And

545
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:49.800
that was a live version of shock Me from Kiss

546
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:52.880
Alive two from nineteen seventy seven. And I truly believe

547
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:57.239
that that song launched the career of thousands and thousands

548
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:01.119
of guitar players. I know for myself, this was the

549
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.119
song where I just wanted to get an electric guitar

550
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:07.199
and play it just like Ace freely. I mean, there

551
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:11.639
was something about his way of using vibrato on the guitar.

552
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.239
He was able to just bend the strings and shake

553
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.199
that guitar with the smooth vibrato and hold it until

554
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:25.079
he could get this massive feedback. It was just awesome,

555
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:29.079
so electrifying. I have so many great memories of listening

556
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:31.920
to Kiss as a kid, and I want to get

557
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.920
a couple more songs into the show here before we

558
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.119
wrap it up. So let's go back to the Kiss

559
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:40.920
solo album from nineteen seventy eight. This is a song

560
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:44.559
called Speeding Back to My Baby on ninety nine point

561
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:46.119

00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:04.440

My name is Hollywood and you're listening to genic Rock

595
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:17.119
Hidden Treasures right here on KBP in Long Beach, California.

596
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:18.960
And that was a song called Speeding Back to My

597
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:22.280
Baby from Ace's solo album, The Kiss Solo Album from

598
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:24.480
nineteen seventy eight. Great song.

599
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:25.079
I love that.

600
00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:29.760
And as you hear, in the background is playing Ace's

601
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:33.679
signature song New York Groove. But as that's playing, I'm

602
00:56:33.719 --> 00:56:36.360
gonna go ahead and read the statement from the family

603
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:40.480
regarding Ace's passing, and it reads this way, we are

604
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:44.519
completely devastated and heartbroken in his last moments, when we

605
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:47.039
were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him

606
00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:52.280
with loving caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers, and intentions. As

607
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:56.039
he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories,

608
00:56:56.280 --> 00:57:00.239
his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he

609
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.480
bestowed upon others. The magnitude of his passing is of

610
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:09.000
epic proportions and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his

611
00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:14.039
incredible life achievements, Ace's memory will continue to live on forever.

612
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:14.960
End quote.

613
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:18.719
And that's absolutely for sure. And I like to finish

614
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:22.159
with just words of his own from Ace Freely. From

615
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.880
an interview that he did, he said this quote about

616
00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:29.320
himself and his own guitar playing. He said, I'm an anomaly.

617
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:33.360
I've never taken a guitar lesson. I play guitar in

618
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:37.519
such an unorthodoxed way. I'm an unschooled musician and I

619
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:40.639
don't know how to read music. But I am one

620
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:43.440
of the most famous guitar players in the world. So

621
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:48.239
go figure end quote. You sure were, you sure are,

622
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:52.679
and You'll be remembered for all eternity. Fly on, Spaceman,

623
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:53.800
rest in peace.

624
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:57.159
Who cares about.

625
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:07.800
Im? That list that you

626
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:20.920
Stack, stack your too on that
