ACE FREHLEY On 2000 KISS Reunion - "I Think We Looked A Little Tired..."

Oklahoma's NewsOK.com has issued the following report from Gene Triplett:
ACE FREHLEY doesn't do the Kabuki spaceman KISS-shtick anymore. He's put away the greasepaint and studded leather costumes and decided to act his age.
So, let's get the obligatory KISS reunion question out of the way up front.
"Uh, I don't see it happening,” the guitar hero said last week from a tour stop in Cincinnati. "I never say never, but I just turned 57. I don't see myself getting up onstage with tights on and putting on the makeup and jumpin' around like, you know, a kid again. Because I don't physically think I can do it.”
The last time Frehley re-teamed with all three of his original comic-book-character cohorts (Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss) was for the KISS Farewell Tour in 2000, one of the largest concert draws of that year. But old tensions within the band caused drummer Criss to take his leave in early 2001, and caused Frehley to walk out a year later, that time for good.
"On the last reunion tour, I saw a couple of videos,” Frehley said. "I think we looked a little tired, you know? I think it's maybe better to put that segment of KISS to sleep.”
