Ace Frehley

The guitarist has received an outpouring of praise from ex-bandmates and fellow rockers.

UCR pays tribute to the fallen guitar hero through the memorable conversations we had with the Spaceman over the years.

The guitarist died at 74, leaving behind a towering legacy.

Former bandmates, onetime tourmates and artists influenced by Kiss' original guitarist lead the tributes.

He'll be back on the road next month in support of his latest album, '10,000 Volts.'

Gene Simmons called his band "the embodiment of the American dream."

"I didn’t think he was going to do anything that good," bandmate Paul Stanley admitted.

The 1988 record failed to meet expectations as bandmates filled gaps left by distracted ex-Kiss guitarist.
