A funny, candid, New York Times bestselling memoir from the former
lead guitarist of the legendary rock band KISS, Ace Frehley.
The legendary guitar god who exceeded all limits and lived to tell takes
fans on a wild ride through KISStory.
He was just a boy from the Bronx with stars in his eyes. But when he
picked up his guitar and painted stars on his face, Ace Frehley
transformed into "The Spaceman"--and helped turn KISS into one of the
top-selling bands of all time. Now, for the first time, the beloved rock
icon reveals his side of the story with no-holds-barred honesty . . .
and no regrets.
For KISS fans, Ace offers a rare behind-the-makeup look at the band's
legendary origins, including the lightning-bolt logo he designed and the
outfits his mother sewed. He talks about the unspoken division within
the band--he and Peter Criss versus Paul Stanley and Gene
Simmons--because the other two didn't "party every day." Ace also
reveals the inside story behind his turbulent break-up with KISS, their
triumphant reunion a decade later, and his smash solo career. Along the
way, he shares wild stories about dancing at Studio 54 with "The Bionic
Woman," working as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, and bar-flying all night
with John Belushi. In the end, he comes to terms with his highly
publicized descent into alcohol, drugs, and self-destruction--ultimately
managing to conquer his demons and come out on top.
This is Ace Frehley. No makeup. No apologies. No regrets.
