Ace Frehley, founding member of rock band KISS, dead at 74

Ace Frehley, original lead guitarist and founding member of the rock band KISS, has died. He was 74.

One of my favourite bands ever, many a raunchy night listening to Ace and the rest of Kiss. RIP old mate, so many fond memories listening to your music. Sadly missed already.

I'm pretty sure that's not Ace in that photo but his replacement, Tommy Thayer. An easy mistake to make...

  Spot on Johnny, that was a picture from their End of road tour where Ace didn't tour due to medical issues. Fixed now

Growing up in the 80's, Kiss and Parramatta Eels posters (Rugby League Week) were all I had on my bedroom wall.
