This First Edition copy of "No Regrets: A Rock N Roll Memoir" has been personally Autographed & Numbered by Ace Frehley.
The music, the makeup, the madness, and more. . . .
In December of 1972, a pair of musicians placed an advertisement in the Village Voice:
“GUITARIST WANTED WITH FLASH AND ABILITY.”
Ace Frehley figured he had both, so he answered the ad. The rest is rock ’n’ roll history.
He was just a boy from the Bronx with stars in his eyes. But when he picked up his guitar and painted stars on his face, Ace Frehley transformed into “The Spaceman”—and helped turn KISS into one of the top-selling bands in the world. Now, for the first time, the beloved rock icon reveals his side of the story with no-holds-barred honesty . . . and no regrets.
For KISS fans, Ace offers a rare behind-the-makeup look at the band’s legendary origins, including the lightning-bolt logo he designed and the outfits his mother sewed. KISS recorded its first four albums in eighteen months, but the instant double-platinum live album Alive! truly announced the band’s arrival. Ace talks candidly about how he handled his sudden fame, with its endless money, drugs, booze, and girls, as well as the unspoken division within the band—he and Peter Criss versus Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons - because the other two didn’t “party every day.” Ace also reveals the inside story behind his turbulent breakup with KISS, their triumphant reunion a decade later, and his smash solo career. Along the way, he shares wild stories about dancing at Studio 54 with “The Bionic Woman,” working as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, bar-flying all night with John Belushi, and dodging death and the law countless times. In the end, he comes to terms with his highly publicized descent into alcohol, drugs, and self-destruction - ultimately managing to conquer his demons and come out on top.
This is Ace Frehley. No makeup. No apologies. No regrets.
