Ace Frehley

[Brutalform]

Another rock icon is gone. Rolling Stone just reported that Ace has passed at 74. After a fall, he had brain bleed and was on life support. Sad day for Rock And Roll. I’ve been a KISS fan since 1975. RIP Ace.

Man that is a bummer. Getting older and watching the icons pass makes you realize how short life is.

Many will deny it, but there isn't a rock guitarist of the present day that hasn't been influenced by Ace in some way. 

I've never been a huge KISS fan, but Ace's influence cannot be denied.

RIP Ace! Thanks for the music.

You just wait. The next couple of years are going to be crazy for celebrity deaths.

Just think about how many classic musicians are now in their 70s and 80s, and have lived a lifetime full of unhealthy activities.

And then think of all the musicians that were big in the 80s. They're all well into their 60s now. All the hair metal and thrash metal musicians I loved in high school; plus all the new wave artists.

 

 

Going to be a sad few years.

Meh, that's what ChatGPT spit out. My point stands. We're in for a lot of obituaries soon.

And people want this idiot box to handle medical diagnostics, write code, and generate summaries of legal precedents...among other critical functions.

Whoopee. 

Artificial idiocracy.

[Dragline]

This man was/is my hero. Between him and EVH they launched a billion guitar players. They helped sell more axes and had more influence than any other in history.

A very sad day indeed...

Rock In Peace Ace 🤘

I had several Kiss album when I was a teenager…. R.I.P.   Ace!

My wife's girl friend used to walk and pet sit his dog for many years before she moved to Florida. Never met him, but his house was nice, though not what you'd expect from someone of his fame.
