ACE FREHLEY Talks Recent Reunion With GENE SIMMONS - "As Far As I'm Concerned We're Just Having Fun And Reconnecting For Old Times' Sake"
October 23, 2017, 6 years ago
Speaking with Eddie Trunk on October 9th, original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley once again addressed the subject of rejoining the band given his recent collaborations with Gene Simmonsin the studio and on stage.
Frehley: "Paul and Gene haven't really talked to me about that, so until I get the phone call, as far as I'm concerned we're just having fun and reconnecting for old times' sake. And if that happens, it happens. If it doesn't, that's okay too. I have my own career at this juncture, and those guys… well, they're working with half a cover band, actually (laughs)."
Frehley has been recording a new album at his home studio in Rancho Santa Fe (San Diego), California, which he built last year.
“I had Gene Simmons over a few weeks ago working on two songs and that was a big treat, and it will be a bigger treat for the fans,” Ace tells Newcastle Herald.
When Chad Watson suggests that a reunion with KISS might be in the cards, Ace replies, “We’re all getting along great and whatever happens in the future happens.”
