Cool Cerberus! Oddly enough I was thinking of reviewing that very same KISS solo album cos' I've had a KISS thing in my head lately (happens once a year...just light the greasepaint and stand back). Thinking of sticking either Rock n Roll Over or Dynasty in as an Unsung review.
The Ace Frehely solo album is a real....Space Ace spectacular. But I love some of his quirky heavy Kiss songs like Hard Times & Torpedo Girl as well as the more known Cold Gin & Shock Me
Ace is one of my fave guitarists. Yeah he ain't Steve Howe but there is a raw, rock n roll Gibson heavy and you can whistle his solos.
The only thing is that outside of KISS Ace never bettered it ( and yes that means Frehely's Comet)
The only quibble I had is with your dismissal of the other dudes in the band. Seems a bit overly disingenous to Gene & Paul given the strength of their songs throughout KISS. And how much of a revolving door they have had for Ace over the years
But Ace! Yeah.
