Just last week, Ace announced who will be joining him on stage and even offered a few surprises. Richie Scarlet will perform rhythm guitar and vocal duties. Ritchie played rhythm guitar on Ace’s Trouble Walking album and also toured with Ace in the mid 80s and early 90s.
Chris Wyse, on bass and vocals, has played bass in The Cult since 2006. He also previously recording with Ozzy Osbourne and can be heard on select tracks on Space Invader. Scott Coogan will play drums in the touring lineup, and is a Frehley touring band veteran who was also a member of Nikki Sixx’s Brides of Destruction recording and touring band in 2004. “I can’t wait to hit the road again with this new lineup,” says Frehley. “Let there be rock!”
Ace Frehley made history with Space Invader, which debuted a at #9 on the Top 200 Chart. The LP scored the highest charting position of any KISS solo album ever, and marks Frehley’s first return to the Top 10 since KISS’s 1998 Psycho Circus reunion album.

It said Kiss Solo LP, which I interpret to mean solo CD by a Kiss member.
He’s not a member or Kiss, therefore it’s not a solo cd
Into the Void was the only song on PS that featured all 4 original members. The line in that article is either misleading or very misinformed.
Are you sure DR? Because according to the information I have from the Kiss box set from 2001, “Psycho Circus”, “Within”, “I Pledge Allegiance To The State Of Rock & Roll”, and the song that definitely should have been on the album, “It’s My Life”, all had the original 4 playing on them. Maybe my book is wrong, but from a fan’s perspective, I hope not.
dr is correct, doug r. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Elliott, not saying DR isn’t correct, just curious to know where he got his information from, that’s all dude.
The demand for our kind of music is low. Generally speaking, small crummy venues are all any of our beloved acts can book.
Go for the free casino gig in Connecticut. Hard to believe since his audience isn’t gonna chuck cards but drink the beer…..he shoulda been an opener for a major act but then again he’s Ace and will he not implode?
Don’t know why everyone is knocking the venues. Ace playing in 1800 seat theaters as a solo artist is a bad thing? Sure it ain’t an arena but he’s solo! And this is not the whole tour idiots! It’s the first leg!
