Not in Hall of Fame

This is a sad day for the Chairman.

Ace Frehley, one of the founding members of KISS, passed away yesterday at the age of 74.

Along with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss, KISS became one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, with Frehley as their lead guitarist.  Known as the “Spaceman”, Frehley brought the rock attitude to the band and was writing for some of the band’s songs, including “Cold Gin”, “Shock Me”, and “Parasite”.  In 1978, all of the KISS members put out solo albums, with Frehley’s generating the only hit, with his cover of “New York Groove”.

Frehley left the band in 1982 and continued with solo projects until rejoining KISS for a reunion tour in 1996.

KISS entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends, and family of Ace Frehley.
