In an interview with The Morton Report's Jaan Uhelszki, Ace discusses his upcoming memoir, No Regrets, his years as "Space Ace", why he was forced to room with GENE SIMMONS in the early years, what it really felt like getting electrocuted, and being sober for the past five years. An excerpt follows:

Q: Did you feel your talent was undervalued when you were in KISS?

A: "Well, it seemed like it. Paul (Stanley) and Gene never wanted to give me the credit that was due. It was like in a lot of instances they tried to bury the fact that I did A, B, C, and D. I can’t remember Paul or Gene ever saying, 'Wow, that was a great solo'. On some of my classic guitar solos that were on their songs. But what goes around comes around. They have a new album coming out and I have a new album coming out, and you know what’s going to happen. People are going to compare the two. That’s all I’m going to say about that."

Q: In 1977 the Gallup poll named KISS the most popular band in America. How did being on top affect your creativity?

A: "I think it gave me false confidence. For a while I believed that we were better than we were. I think we got complacent with our music and the show. It’s like when you’re on top, where do you go? I told Paul and Gene from the outset that the The Elder album was a huge mistake, and they didn’t listen to me. I knew at that point in time we needed to do something heavy and powerful and strong. I was really frustrated doing that project."

Q: Could you be who you are now without having been in KISS?

A: "I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I’ve always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album New York Groove. That was a special record. I feel that same way now and hopefully history’s going to repeat itself. I’m in a good place. Like in 2000, after I left the reunion tour or the farewell tour, whichever the fuck it was—the never-ending tour.

I had been abusing a lot of things and I wasn’t in good shape and it took a while for me to get my wits back. But I’m probably stronger now than I’ve ever been in my life, and I need to let everybody know I’m back. I know for a while Paul and Gene weren’t saying good things about me, and that’s okay. Everything that comes around goes around."

The 288-page book was co-authored by Joe Layden who recently worked on MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine's autobiography, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir.

Simon & Schuster is publishing the book under the VH1 Books imprint and it is described as follows:

Ace Frehley is known worldwide as the legendary original lead guitarist for the seminal rock band KISS and respected as a solo artist who has influenced generations of guitar players. KISS is known for its wild make-up, spectacular costumes, and theatrical live shows (not to mention their music)! Frehley will delve into his life as a kid growing up in the Bronx, his ups-and-downs and influences which catapulted him into a life of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, and reveal what it was like to be one of the founding members of one of the most influential bands in the world.

Ace Frehley said: “I think Sinatra said it best…‘regrets I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.’”

Jennifer Bergstrom, Vice President, Editor-in-Chief of Gallery Books, said: "No Regrets is sure to be the next must-read rock-and-roll memoir.”

No Regrets is due out on November 1st, according to Amazon. An Amazon pre-order is available below:
