March 24, 2011, 13 years ago
Original KISS guitarist ACE FREHLEY guests on VH1 Classic's That Metal Show, this Saturday, March 26th at 11 PM ET/PT.
Frehley returns toThat Metal Show to share some stories from his upcoming book and shocks the boys with his latest Bahamian stage trick.
During the episode, Ace tells the story of the time GENE SIMMONS saved him from drowning:
Ace: “I didn’t know Gene was a lifeguard. I actually drowned one day at a Holiday Inn.” (laughs) “I’m serious.”
Don Jamieson: “Was it after Eddie’s wedding. That’s where he got married.” (laughs)
Ace Frehley: “No, this was before, this was in the seventies. I actually drowned. Everyone else was fucked up, I was fucked up obviously, but everyone else was loaded and I went under. I’m thinking about the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he puts up one finger, and he goes down (laughs) and he puts up two fingers and he goes down. I’m laughing hysterically (laughs) and the next thing you know I’m drowning. Gene pulls me out of the pool and pumps the water out of me. Only later I found out that he was a certified lifeguard when he used to go to college.”
Eddie and Don: “Wow!”
Jim Florentine: “Did he charge you for saving his life?” (laughs)
Ace Frehley: “That’s a good question.” (laughs)
