go ace.this albums great.the only good one,sorry.the rest suck.ace frehley got it,ya know what I mean.Maybe if gene drank a couple beers and toked one up he might of put out a rockin song
Ace's guitar during the pre-chorus ("Maybe I should turn around / Maybe I should stop") is reminiscent of Randy Bachman's on some of those old BTO and Ironhorse records that were coming out around the same time.
susan collins is the female background singer you hear. this song was co-written by ace and then-wife jeanette. the only song on the album that they wrote together.
My opinion on the solo albums: Peter wasn't interested in doing "standard" rock, so he experiemented with styles. Gene had no fucking clue what he was doing, but "Radioactive" is a worthy tune. Paul typically was being PC and fairly predictable - his album sounded a lot like regular KISS. Ace rocked the fucking house and his is by FAR the best of the four. Damn Ace kicked ass then and he kicks ass today.
IMO,(Which I respect)Aces was by far the best solo album of the 4.He's the real rock guy in the band,and that showed thru when they seperated.You can hear on Ace's solo album that Ace had a lot to do with the magic Kiss had on their early albums. Thats not to say the other guys didnt have some good songs on their albums.But Ace won this round.
I saw Ace last night (11-9-09) at The Canopy Club in Champaign, IL and he played this song. I had not heard it since the early 80's. The studio version is good, but the backing vocals towards the end of the song suck. Anyhoo, when he played it live last night it F@#$ING ROCKED. Thanks for coming to Champaign Ace, you're The F@#$ING MAN!
Good song, but the backing vocals are cheezy. Jeanette and Ace Frehley are no Linda and Paul McCartney, that is for sure. Ace's solo album is good, but Paul Stanley's is better. Gene Simmons and Peter Criss LP's were both disappointing, not much to recommend with either of those. Of the four solo albums, Ace's LP does sound the most like KISS.
To me, the songwriting overall is a little better on Paul's album, so I rate it a notch or two over Ace's LP. But I enjoy both albums, my favorite cut on Ace's is Snow Blind.
@colemann76 You and I are probably different. I LOVEEEEEE Ace's Album, but I also like Peter's because it shows his true roots.. But yeah I gotta agree, Ace's does rock the hardest!!! He is by far the best guitar player, and my #1 rock and roll influence. I find myself using ace's licks more and more. XD
@75LetMeKnow75 Man you totally have right. Paul`s is the best with like you said Ace then Peter`s which is a very underrated album. Gene`s is without a doubt the weakest.

how cool would it be if Ace released more solo albums in the '70s with a similar sound
KISS would be falling apart because of that disco shit and I wouldn't care because I'd be listening to Ace Frehley
