Born into a regular Bronx family & inspired by the likes of Hendrix Led Zepellin & the Kinks Ace Frehley first picked up his brothers guitar at the age of 12. He had already performed in a number of bands when in January 1973 he auditioned for an ad that read: Guitarist wanted with flash & balls." Within a week he was invited to join
- the band was KISS. Frehley explains how the band developed their style in the early days making their own clothes wearing make-up & platform shoes. Ace himself even designed the bands double lightning bolt logo. Before long his persona "the Spaceman" was born & the familiar KISS look established
- almost overnight they left behind 1 500 seater theatres in the Midwest & were playing sold-out stadiums around the world. Life in KISS was a whirlwind of accidents overdoses & excess. Ace partied with the likes of John Belushi & Nic Nolte & enjoyed the seemingly endless supply of fringe benefits that came from being in one of the most successful bands in the history of rock n roll. But soon problems with substance abuse would lead to his leaving the band in 1982 before returning for a second tenure in 1996. Ace in the Hole is the story of KISS but much more than that
- its the story of a kid from the Bronx who found purpose & salvation through music & rose to the top. Its the story of a guy who lived life to the fullest & almost forfeited his life as a result. & ultimately its a survival story
- Ace is alive & kicking still making music & influencing a new generation of guitarists."
