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.

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

"Hearing the dogs changing their logo I thought maybe a bulldog wearing a burka, but this is worse.
Maybe with Vegas coming up they are trying to appeal to the yanks. Failing that, what the f&@$.
