Ace Frehley New Single Released Today – I’m Down

ACE FREHLEY – NEW COVERS LP, ORIGINS VOL. 2 OUT SEPTEMBER 18th
“I’m Down'” – new single out today

“I’m Down” is the second single off Ace Frehley’s  upcoming cover album installment – Origins Vol. 2. Ace’s take on the Little Richard-inspired Beatles b-side classic is nothing short of a complete hard rock, nuts and bolts overhaul. Featuring ripping guitar work from the legendary John 5, Ace and co tossed the organ solo clean out the window and replaced it with an absolute melter of a solo. Ace vox and guitar playing are the best they’ve been in years and Ace fans will be delighted by this bar raising cut.

Paul Stanley Shows Off C8 Corvette, Says “It’s Drop-Dead Gorgeous”

Autoevolution

The rest, as they say, is history. In addition to writing great tunes and some wicked performances on stage, Paul Stanley has also taken to Facebook to show off his new car. Finished in white over black wheels and red brake calipers, the C8 Stingray also boasts a rather tasteful interior combo.

“For years, the auto industry said ‘buy American’ and I said ‘when you manufacture world-class cars, I’ll buy them.’ The 2020 Corvette is beyond that,” said the frontman. “It raises the bar with cutting edge technology. It’s a machine I’m proud to drive and it’s drop-dead gorgeous. I love mine!”

Notice the lack of a lower front splitter? This means we’re probably looking at a non-Z51 version of the Stingray, which is somewhat curious given how popular this option is among customers. Speaking of which, Chevy has leveled up the pricing of the performance package to $5,995 for the 2021 model.

Carbon Flash side mirrors and five-spoke trident wheels are also featured, and even though Stanley is a little critical of American cars, this isn’t his first Corvette. He also had/has a one-of-one 2015 model year Stingray SEMA show car that he purchased from GM after owning a 2014 model Stingray.

ANGEL’S PUNKY MEADOWS ON WHY THEY NEVER TOURED WITH KISS – “GENE SIMMONS SAID ‘UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANGEL EVER OPEN FOR KISS’”

Brave Words

Why Angel never toured with their Casablanca label mates KISS:
“Gene, Paul (Stanley), and Ace (Frehley) came to see us at Bogies in D.C. because KISS was in town on tour. They fell in love with us and thought we were great. So we were shopping around for a record deal and our manager suggested Casablanca. He mentioned how KISS was also on the label. We told him how KISS had come and seen us and they loved us. So our manager called Neil Bogart to set up an audition. Neil thought it would be a good idea for Angel to open for KISS in Anaheim so he could see us in action. He said he would call us back to confirm. So Neil calls back and says that he will sign us sight unseen because Gene Simmons said ‘under no circumstances will Angel ever open for KISS’. All of us were good friends though on the Casablanca label. I love those guys, they’re great!”
