Behold the new LP from 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ace Frehley. Space Invader will be released in the US on August 19th through eOne Music.
Like a shooting star headed toward earth from another solar system, Ace Frehley operates in his own musical galaxy. He’s a musical maverick and iconoclast adored by millions of fans around the world. Through his seminal work with KISS and as a solo artist, Ace Frehley is championed as one of the most influential guitar players of the last four decades and his impact on popular music is immeasurable. With his smash 1978 solo album and post-KISS work including 2009 Anomaly, Frehley continues to be the best selling member of the original band.
Discussing the new album, Frehley says, “Fans can expect something closer to my ’78 solo record,” Frehley reveals. “Over the past couple of months I’ve been listening to my old records and trying to find that formula that I’ve captured so many times in the past. I recently played some of my new music for a few people at my label and they were blown away. It reaffirmed in my mind that I’m on the right path and I think my fans are going to love the results. It’s gonna be a great record.”

If the people who view this website are fans, on any level, of Ace or KISS then everyone needs to get out there and part with the fifteen bucks to buy this record. What better way to make a statement about Gene and Paul, Tommy, the R&R Hall debacle and anything else that has burned up this board over the last year regarding this band than to chart this album BIG on opening week. It really does not take that many units these days to do this. Lets make it happen, what could go wrong we all end up with a new record? What do you say Ed, get your people together!
I predict this one is going to outsell anomaly by a lot. Wait and see!
Disagree…hope I’m wrong but just don’t see it. Anomaly had the cache of being the first Frehley album in ages. While this album is anticipated by the Ace diehards, I doubt it goes much further than that. Again, hope I’m wrong but even Monster sold considerably less than Boom. And as has been stated on here…albums just are selling. 40k will be great for Ace.
The record company is doing a better promotion campaign than what was done for anomaly. Plus anomaly kept getting pushed back for around a year which turned a lot of buyers off. Plus from the 1:30 minute previews I heard on youtube, it’s way better than anomaly.
Yes, by 7 copies. This one will sell 30, 007 copies.
Why does the release have anything to do with Gene and Paul?? They are doing just fine without Ace and Ace without them, so like many other idiots here we go again…instead of commenting on Ace, it will be an excuse to bring up G and P…grow up…”let’s all go up Aces album to show G and P”, what are you 12?? If you’re 12 then I will excuse you, but your probably in your 40’s. Why don’t we all just buy Aces record because it’s good??
Amen to that! I pre-ordered Ace’s new album on Amazon for one reason–to hear Ace’s new album! this has nothing to do with–you know…
Even though Anomaly was just okay in my opinion, the more he keeps aiming for the 78 album in style and energy, I think he will achieve that goal. I have a great feeling about this one.
What did Tommy ever do except take a job with KISS and get punched by Ace once? What are we going to prove to Tommy by buying SPACE INVADER? Who buys things to make statements these days? Did Tommy Thayer ever do anything to harm you? Did he cut you off in traffic? Did he stink up the toilet and not spray available air freshener? I heard the new track and I’m gonna buy the whole CD because I enjoy its contents. Can you picture Tommy, Gene and Paul having a band meeting ’cause SPACE INVADER charts well? Are they gonna send a TERMINATOR to Aces house? Steal his car? Prank call him? Can you picture Eddie Trunk riding on a horse shouting out loud for people to buy SPACE INVADER? WHAT ARE YOU INSANE?
hahahahaha….now that’s hysterical Richman…
I can strangely picture eddie trunk riding on a horse shouting to buy aces new record lol! Just kidding………………..
Richman, you are on a roll! What you posted is hilarious but also true.
nobody puts eddie on a horse!
Oh yeah, wait for that. Take a seat.
I love how the idiots on blabbermouth trash it after hearing 30 second clips. It all sounds like it will be just fine to me. Either people forget or they just don’t know but ACE Frehley isn’t a band. It is basically just him and a drummer putting out this, and his last, CD. Chris Wyse does some bass. The guy is 63 years old. Lived the hard life. I give him all the credit in the world for “keepin’ on”.
Hi Steve,
Yes, the posters at Blabbermouth can be really nasty and harsh. That is why I try my best to cull that here, I really want Eddie’s site to be much more user friendly.
Dana from ET.com 🙂
Take it with a grain of salt. Many of those people I saw commenting are kiss trolls who hate on ace in other articles. Everyone outside of blabbermouth loves the samples.
That’s weird , those guys on Blabbermouth are usually attacking anything Gene and Paul related, always giving the other 2 a pass . Makes you think huh ? And Dana, I know people sometimes become belligerent idiots behind their keyboards, but censorship when Ed will claim many agree with him ?
Todd, who censors? I only take the real trash where it belongs, you have no idea.
Cheers,
Dana 🙂
Yes but the particular people commenting we’re kiss trolls. Did you not read anything I posted?
I am super excited about getting his new album and I will be buying it first day release. I heard samples from it and I dont like to judge it as I haven’t heard the album as a whole but im sure it will meet all my expectations. I am alao glad he us 7 yrs sober n back in a groove with making music its all you can ask for from a guy at this stage if he decides to tour I will be there. As far as kiss goes I gave up on them when they hired two bozos . I also look at them as if they so Damon good as gene n paul say they are why dont the. Two money hungry crooks a share of the pie oh no not that they get a employee fee salary.. them guys should all give it a permanent rest because at this stage in the game they have lost everything that was ever good about them over a decade ago… to me this aint kiss. This is the paul n gene show
I noticed after the RRHOF interview Ace said a lot of kiss fans will boycott KISS shows this summer because of the negative comments Paul and Gene had made about him. KISS/Def Leppard are averaging 22,000 fans a night. I do look forward to the Space Invader.
I’m personally amazed the tour has sold like it has…sales were sluggish at first but this tour is packing them in everywhere.
With all the Ace and Kiss bullshit aside-I think it’s great Ace’s is releasing some new material, as for doing covers-I not that fussed but lets cherish the fact that he’s healthy and still writing and recording.
I wish the calls for another reunion would stop also-been there done that, they should’ve left it at that-hey we got to see the original line-up-I was happy at that. I do hope he backs this album up with a tour of sorts– Aussie or New Zealand Ace if your reading this….
