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.

Sounds good. I didn’t love Anomaly, but did really like a few songs. I actually liked the eighties stuff better. I am a fan of new KISS and still an Ace fan.
I wasn’t that enthusiastic about Anomaly either. I was looking forward to a return to the harder edged style of his ’78 album but it just didn’t have the same effect. This new song sounds really good and more energetic–a return to classic Ace possibly. He sounds good and the guitar solo sounded better than ever! Ace has always been my favorite KISS guitarist overall, but I mainly love Ace for his contributions while in KISS from 74-82 (basically from the first album to The Elder), and his Frehley’s Comet stuff.
Well its is a bit of a surprise in terms of what I was expecting. I ain’t dissing by no means but I think I have to hear whole album beforr I can give an opinion as to good or bad . I always thought ace delivered the goods and im sure in time it will do just that. I loved anomaly and thought he brought out some killer stuff on it and hope he does same with this one. … oh I still like into the night thought that was a killer and true ace song. Fit him good musically. Good lead and guitar parts and vocals were great.
doesn’t grab me. looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.
Decent tune, but if this is the first single, I’m a little worried. Great tone though!
Love the song and how he drops the F bomb at the end.
