We're Back From The KISS Kruise Land Locked In Vegas!!!

Will be starting working on our report soon, so stay tuned and check back later to read all about our experience...

Remember Eric Carr!

It's been 34 years ago today when Eric Carr passed away.
Over the 11 years Eric spent with KISS, he played over 800 concerts and I was lucky enough to see him kick the drums at 3 shows, in 1984 and 2 in 1988.
Eric played the drums like thunder, especially on Creatures Of The Night!
For me he was the best drummer KISS ever had!

Take some time and remember Eric Carr today...

Ace Frehley Passed Away!!!

With deep sadness we just heard that Ace Frehley Passed Away!!!
This hurts and words are not enough how we're feeling now...
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Jeanette, his daugther Monique, brother Charles & sister Nancy.
We're devastaded, shattered and heartbroken, we'll miss you Ace...

In memory of Paul Daniel Frehley we want to share our story of what he meant to us. While working on our story, on october 21th (with tears in our eyes) we're listening to all his great music. His music accompanied us in so many moments, as his image & his energy! It has deeply affected us beyound words!

When I became a KISS fan in 1979 I was impressed by their music and shows. In these years I was always impressed by Ace’s guitar playing and his smoking guitar solo on stage during Shock Me! One of my favorite Ace songs is Rocket Ride, I love this track!
His solo album from 1978 was the best of all 4, it has some great songs like Rip It Out, Snowblind or Wiped Out! I was sad when he left the band in 1982 but I kept an eye on what he was doing in the 80’s.
We’ve to wait till 1987 when he released his Frehley’s Comet album and becoming Rock Soldiers! On june 11th 1995 was the first time that I’ve met Ace at a convention in Nighttown Rotterdam (NL) I’m remember this day very well and still have his signed photo in my collection.
In 1996 KISS came back together with their original members and started a worldtour. When the announcement came that KISS would come to the UK I knew I had to be there. So on august 17th it was the first time I saw Ace perform with KISS in make-up in Donnington. Later that year and in 1997 we tried to see as many reunion shows as possible.
We always had a blast on these shows. When the band announced their farewell tour In 2001, I traveled to Australia to see 4 shows and in Melbourne I had the chance see Ace unmasked at their hotel.
In 2008 Ace announced a gig in the UK during his Rocket Ride Tour and I had to be there. On april 11th I saw for the first time a solo show of Ace in London and I remember it was very loud!
My second show was in Cologne (Germany) and on june 12th I saw him in Tilburg (NL)
It took a long time before Ace released his next solo album Anomaly in 2009. He supported this album with a European tour and we attended 3 shows.

On december 9th we had a Meet & Greet VIP Experience in Bochum (Germany) Ace was very relaxed and was in a great mood.

He signed several items for us and we got more photos with him than we thought.

We had an awesome experience!

Ace next album Space Invader was released in 2014 and the following year the Space Invader tour hit Europe and we saw 3 shows.

At the show in Zoetermeer (NL) Ace gave his guitarpick & towel to us after his show and we cherish it in our collection to this day! Sadly it would be the last time that Ace visited and toured Europe…
The next time we would see Ace in concert was in 2017 in Augoura Hills (California) on januari 29th at a dinner show. We were in the USA for meeting Peter Criss and his landmark tour in Los Angeles. Ace did his show a few miles from LA, so we knew we had to be there also. We were lucky enough to catch 2 guitarpicks!

In 2018 Spaceman was released in later that year we saw Ace live again on the KISS Kruise VIII. On october 31th KISS did their sail away acoustic show and their invited Ace (& Bruce Kulick) on the stage to perform 2000 Man, New York Groove & Nothin’ To Lose! It was an awesome experience to see them all together. Later that evening Ace played his first show with some cool surprises as Rockin’ With The Boys & Torpedo Girl! On november 2th we saw show #2 with other cool songs, like Bronx Boy & Two Sides Of The Coin. The last Ace show was on november 4th with songs like Hard Times & Dark Light! We had a blast with the Q&A with Ace also during this Kruise!

On october 28th 2019 we had a Meet & Greet with Ace at the Hilton Blue Lagoon hotel in Miami.

We had an awesome experience with him and our photos were stunning!

He signed several items for us,like KISS first album.

Sadly it was our last time meeting him…
The last time we saw Ace perform was at the Kruisefest 2019. On october 29th we saw him perform in Miami together with Frehley’s Comet in the afternoon.

Later that night at 23:15 PM Ace came on stage in Miami to rock us all with songs as Rip It Out, Snowblind, Shock Me, with his smoking guitar solo & New York Groove with his light bold guitar.
Besides his Origins Vol 1 (with the track Fire & Water together with Paul Stanley) & Vol 2 albums, Ace released his last album 10.000 Volts in februari 2024.
In october 2025 he was working on Origins Vol 3. It’s hard to know that he would never finish that album...

We can’t believe that he’s gone, rest in peace Ace, thank you for all the music, memories, and influence! It will take awhile to heal from this loss...
