BraveWords has received an exclusive news update from Three Sides Of The Coin:

"Ace Frehley earlier today with John 5 tracking guitars for his new album at Spitfire Studio. L-R Warren, Ace, John 5."

Three Sides Of The Coin is an unofficial and unsanctioned KISS talk show featuring Michael Brandvold, Tommy Sommers and Mark Cicchini.

To celebrate the new year, John 5 has released the video for his new John 5 And The Creatures track, "Black Grass Plague".

The video was directed by Coffin Case founder, and long-time John 5 collaborator, Jonny Coffin. Speaking about the song, John 5 says; “This one of my favorite songs I’ve tracked recently. It’s got electric mandolin, banjo, and a ton of guitar on it, and the main guitar, bass, and drum parts were tracked entirely live, so I think it has a great feel to it. I think it’s the perfect mixture of heavy rock and crazy country.”

And talking about the video production, John explains; "We filmed it in a warehouse right next to Jonny's place. It was swelteringly hot in there that day, but we got through it, and if anything, the heat contributed to the energy in the video. The star-shaped stage with all the neon lights is actually Elton John's piano riser," continues 5. "It turns out you can rent it. Who knew? Thank you, Elton!"
