SEBASTIAN BACH, who is set to release his new solo album Give ‘Em Hell on April 18th in Europe, and on April 22nd in North America, via Frontiers Records, recently spoke with Matt Wardlaw of Ultimate Classic Rock. One of the topics discussed was the ongoing controversy surrounding the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction for KISS and the news that the original four members will not perform at the ceremonies.

“As a fan, I understand why people would want to see that,” said Bach. “But as a 46-year old man that has worked with Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley, I understand why Gene Simmons doesn’t work with Ace Frehley.”

Bach explained his position further, explaining that “Ace has sides to him that maybe the fans don’t see. That’s all I can say.” He revealed that he’s currently working on an autobiography and there will be stories in that book “that will explain more of that topic.” Further details can be found here.
