What a jam packed fun SiriusXM show last night! Ace Frehley was in studio during the first hour. Ace just did a non stop week of press in support of his new CD Space Invader which came out today. He was in great spirits and as usual we had some laughs and shared some stories and had a blast. Despite everything Ace is incredibly positive about everything and is soon going to celebrate 8 years of being sober. Having known him almost 30 I am most proud of him for this. Looks like a big first week on the charts for Ace is coming which will be good to see. Live shows are up in the air at the moment but he did say he hopes to do a few before end of the year.
Slash called in from the road and talked Aerosmith, raising kids, his next album and more. Always good talking with him also. His album is out next month and I’ll be hosting a show with him at The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood FL 8/29. Also will be hosting Deep Purple there 8/31. Please note I will be selling and signing books at both shows but AFTER the concerts inside the casino at the Hard Rock Cafe. Neither show has an opening act. Slash on at 8 sharp, Purple at 7. So come have a beer and grab a book if you want after the shows inside the casino at the cafe at around 10:15P after Slash and 9P after Purple. Vol 1 & 2 will be available for purchase.
Finally had Mark from Accept and Doro in studio, and Wolf from Accept on the phone in the final hour. New Accept out today also and sounds great! A few US shows this year, more next year for them. All of these interviews available On Demand with the SiriusXM app. You must be a subscriber to listen.

Downton Abbey AND TMS back in Jan–good times.
ED, Why exactly is Ace up in the air about Live shows? Not wanting to tour/desire? Lazy? Health? Cost? it seems like Touring is the biggest revenue for older bands and his reluctance to do so is confusing? i really think rejoin Regan and Howarth would be good for him and let him let others handle parts of the show that he may not want to deal with on and off the stage.
Hi Dana, I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! I know it’s tomorrow, but I will be out most of the day, and just wanted to make sure I got my birthday wish in, in time! So whatever you do, have a great time, and LIVE IT UP! 😉
HAPPY BIRHTDAY DANA, CHEERS! 🙂
Hilarious, I love your posts!
What’s so hilarious?
Just borderline creepy dude…
It’s name-changer. He’s going after Doug R. now, check out his new monicker…lol. Hilarious!
Yeah Clown, instead of wishing Dana a happy birthday, (real nice guys) David C & Red Rooker, they decided to show how immature they are by counting my posts and concerning themselves with my whereabouts, now that’s just borderline creepy.
Yes Red Rooker, you are!
Awww, that’s not nice 🙁 He was just being conscientious and considerate. I appreciate it Doug, you’re a gentleman, and I get the Airbourne reference 😉
Cheers,
Dana from ET.com 🙂
I know, not nice by me. Sorry. I’m sure he’s serious.
Thank you for the apology.
D 🙂
Top 5 and climbing! You deserve the all the success my friend. You are a ROCK STAR!!!
There’s something almost avant-garde about Ace.
I can see why you would think that, being from staten island and all. Lol, he put out a decent album for the old fart that got booted out of his band that he is, but “avant-garde” is pretty funny.
Keep posting, love it!
No offense, but you clearly don’t have a clue about a lot of things. Too many for me to count.
Ace reminds me an eccentric, unpredictable, and brilliant collage professor or something. I love watching him in interviews because he is just so–himself. You can tell he is not prepared for any questions and he just answers the first thing that comes to mind. He is probably one of the few people who can get away with that because he’s just so easygoing. I’m just looking forward to his new album tomorrow (finally getting to me via Amazon). Better late than never.
