Founding KISS guitarist and 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ace Frehley has debuted an all new single titled Gimme a Feelin’ exclusively through
Rolling Stone today (May 29th). The new effort serves as the first single from his all new LP Space Invader slated for a summer release via eOne Music.
Gimme a Feelin’ is available for purchase on iTunes and Space Invader is available for pre-order via Amazon.
Widely known as the original “Space Ace” and founding guitarist for 16 cumulative years (over 2 tenures) of the multi platinum selling rock band KISS, Frehley is demonstrably the most popular original member. In addition to having the best selling solo album career (vintage or current) among the original foursome, Frehley’s self titled Ace Frehley, released in 1978, went on to sell over one million copies, producing the only Top 40 single, New York Groove, from any of the legendary KISS solo albums; (peaking at #13). The massive hit was most recently featured in an episode of cult show Entourage and was also KISS’ second best selling download in 2012, besting such KISS Army anthems as I Was Made For Lovin’ You, Beth and Calling Dr. Love even after 36 years.
Since departing from KISS, Frehley went on to release four more solo albums and one live EP including his most recent effort, Anomaly in 2009, which debuted at #27 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and received a welcoming response among critics.
You can catch Ace Frehley accepting his award at the 29th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction Ceremony on May 31st at 8pm on HBO.

Holy shit…..it is great. Brings me back to 70’s KISS. Ace sounds great….riff is awesome….if the other tunes are like this WOW, AWESOME….. Joe in The Cuse
15,000 units, no airplay but Serius. Need riffs, Eddie Van Halen pulls cassettes from decades ago to find anything. Sure his vocals are Keith. Keep in mind studio trickery works wonders.
This isn’t bad at all. What seems clear to me is that the ‘hook’ is there, but just out of reach. A good producers touch would have clarified it & made this a decent catchy earworm for sure. All the elements are there, this just misses the mark a little. It sounds like an OK album track, but not one that would be your favorite that you’d play a few times in a row. I just hope that the album is mixed well & not a compressed mess like Monster was. I’m looking forward to his invasion! Rock on Ace!!
Don’t mind the Voice or guitar, Lyrics are so so, sort of catchy song. really liked the vibe of the song. Hard for him or any of Kiss to stand out on there own as much as when they were all together they had synergy that made KISS. Have to wait to hear the rest of the CD to make an opinion. Loved two songs on the last CD Fox on the Run(Sweet) and Outer Space. Songs are important that’s why so many bands have outside writers.
While Gene and Paul are on airplanes accosting the elderly mothers of actors, Ace is putting out quality new music. Good tune!
Lol! I heard about that. Gene said it’s all lies but it sounds like something they would do. As far as the song…………………… It kicks a mountain goats ass with a belt! Ace is rockin again!
What inside information are you referring to?
You do realize that even the woman’s son admits that that airplane story was hogwash? Or doesn’t the truth matter? I mean, if it were true, you know Eddie would be running that story all over his front page and the poor woman would be on the next season premiere of TMS doing that week’s “Top 5 Worst Things Gene and Paul Did to Eddie Trunk”.
Be sure to pay no attention ever to the MANY positive things I have done and said about Kiss for 30 years and all the POSITIVE Top 5 lists I have had them on on TMS. Never acknowledge that…
Eddie,
I watch your show and know you say positive things about KISS and Paul Stanley. I think Michael is confused and assuming all the comments putting down Paul and Gene are from you and not from many of the Peter/Ace advocates. I think some people from both sides of the argument are overreacting to this whole mess (RRHOF, the makeup issues, etc…). I am also frustrated that Paul is not willing to resolve whatever his issue is with you. I guess everyone has their issues. I say that even though Paul is my favorite KISS member. But I admit that I just dont get it…
