ACE FREHLEY DEBUTS OFFICIAL “I’M DOWN” MUSIC VIDEO, ANNOUNCES LIMITED EDITION HOLIDAY VINYL VARIANT OF “ORIGINS VOL. 2” WITH SIGNED CHRISTMAS CARD
| Founding KISS guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member Ace Frehley announced the release of a new limited edition Christmas vinyl variant of his latest album Origins Vol. 2 just in time for the holidays, including an option to receive a Christmas card signed by Ace Frehley. To celebrate, Ace released the official music video for the album’s second single I’m Down, which serves not only as an animated sequel to Frehley’s prior Space Truckin’ video but his cover of The Beatles’ 1965 b-side also features John 5 on guitar, who also makes a cameo appearance in the video, taken from the same album. |
| Origins Vol. 2 Track List: 1. Good Times Bad Times (Led Zeppelin) 2. Never In My Life (Mountain) 3. Space Truckin’ (Deep Purple) 4. I’m Down (The Beatles) 5. Jumpin’ Jack Flash (The Rolling Stones) 6. Politician (Cream) 7. Lola (The Kinks) 8. 30 Days In The Hole (Humble Pie) 9. Manic Depression (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) 10.

Origins Vol. 2, out now via Entertainment One (eOne), continues Frehley’s reflections on a lifetime in music and inspiration. No stranger to cover versions throughout his musical history — having recorded, rebranded and repossessed such notable nuggets as New York Groove, Do Ya and I Wanna Go Back throughout his eight previous studio efforts — this new collection presents a thoughtful and exciting selection of songs that inspired and helped shape the legendary guitarist. That spirit of fun is carried through with exquisite execution, and guitar aficionados will enjoy Frehley’s fresh interpretations of these classic songs. Order: Origins Vol. 2,

Nice rendition from Ace – catchy…….cartoon not bad too.
grw, i was looking for your appearance in the video. i guess they opted for an older, more expensive option.
Very creative – the songs (especially “Space Truckin'”) “I’m Down” as well, love the Christmas themed packaging, only negative is the video, not a fan of cartoons.
So when is Tommy “Faker” gonna release his “Origins” album?
It’s in the works, songs include –
Who Are You (The Who)
Pretending (Eric Clapton)
Fooling Yourself (Styx)
I’ve Gotta Be Me (Sammy Davis Jr.)
~ just to name a few. More to come…
~ 1st single from Thayer’s “Origins” album will be a no brainer and dedicated to Ace –
Why Can’t I Be You? (The Cure)
Disagree, Bro. Tommy’s made a career copying Ace, which means all the songs on Tommy’s “Origins” albums will be exactly the same songs on Ace’s albums.
I know, I was just having some fun with other song titles that describe Tommy impersonating Ace.
i frehley like this album. get it. thanks, ace!
