At that time, May 1988 came out as this record, I perceived only the single "Insane". A horny Heavy-Stampfer, no commercial hit. In my opinion there was to a video clip that was played at "Hard 'n'heavy" on Tele 5. Interested Really I do me for only a few days for the Vita and discography of Paul Daniel (called Ace) Frehley, the original guitarist of the legendary band Kiss.
This is the date 3.seiner 6 solo plates, included his band Frehley's Comet project (as well as here). One could also say it is the 2.LP the 2.Schaffensperiode Ace. In 1978, his first solo album since 2009, he brought in turn 2 albums out.
"Second Sighting" is considered little contiguous. This is also true. One finds horny crisp Heavy tracks by Ace himself, as well as more commercial pieces of his almost ebenbürdigen Partner death Howarth of vocals, keyboards and songwriting contributed. The songs of death are fit for human consumption but not oherausragend, of voice, sound and also a composer. A little later Frehley separated from Howarth because he wanted to sound harder again.
You can listen through the album in one. Or you make a setlist with 5 sung by Ace songs and the hot instrumental, the album Closer. Then you can imagine, to hear an awesome EP of Ace Frehley. My personal fave is known "Juvenile Delinquent", a real gem, certainly only die-hard Kiss / Ace fans. Alone this track is worth the purchase of the disc. Really horny old-fashioned heavy rock with top guitars.
As Ace 1977 first picked up the microphone and "Shock me" was the best, because I found him weak in all respects, songwriting, singing, stage acting. After that he has won a lot of profile and self-confidence. The very first solo-iron in 1978 was very strong.
For this, the Ace comes (known in various interviews) seems to be a very honest sympathetic guy who also many lows (eg Alk and money) has gone through. And really a real rocker's heart and soul. Nice that he finally pushed forward in 2014 with "Space Invader" even in the Top 10 on the US charts. As the only kiss or Ex-Kiss Members with a solo work. Hats off!
At the time, the late 80s, was Ace and his Comet certainly the better Act compared to the original and competitive band Kiss. Today both Acts make good material and the fans can be satisfied.
Even the label to the remastered edition of Candy Rock: Is a sub-label of Atlantic, specialized in antique Heavy Acts. Well-made disc with attention to detail, liner notes, Pics and information. And as a very dynamic sound authentic. Well done and keep it up!
I can only hope that Ace and all his albums continue to get as much upwind. Gladly the boy must sometimes travel the German concert halls / clubs a la Zeche Bochum.
