Cage Match: Ace Frehley vs. Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Written by: Matt Wardlaw
Today, we welcome special guest/uber-KISS fan Corey Rotic for a memorable Cage Match that was proposed by Cage Match board member D.X. Ferris.
Vinnie Vincent Invasion “Boys Are Gonna Rock” vs. Ace Frehley/Frehley’s Comet “Rock Soldiers”
That’s a whole lot of alleged “rocking.”
I think, to begin with, this is an unevenly-matched cage match because I’ve been an Ace Frehley disciple since childhood, but sometimes facts are facts.
I’m so torn – Vinnie Vincent is clearly a better guitarist than Ace Frehley, but…that hair. *shudders*
Likewise, Ace is no virtuoso but he does have a sweet Les Paul that belches smoke and flies. And as generous as I possibly can be, neither one of these are great songs. But when has Kiss ever had anything to do with music?

C'mon, you know the reference. Don't let me down on this one......
Okay fine!
Kudos to my buddy Matt (the power of Matts UNITE!) for passing on the following info regarding the forthcoming solo release from Mr. Ace Frehley.
Anomaly, the long awaited solo album from Frehley, will be in stores on September 15th.
The album was produced and recorded in Westchester County, NY during Ace's downtime between 2007 and 2009. Ace brought in Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Def Leppard) to help mix the album and put it all together.
We know that you've been waiting a long time for this one to come out. In fact, Ace is aware of this as well:
Ace has an official Youtube channel featuring some pretty cool clips, including this excerpt of Frehley tracking the solo for "Pain In The Neck."
Here's a track listing and also the album cover for ya'll:
1. Foxy & Free
2. Outer Space
3. Pain In The Neck
4. Fox On The Run
5. Genghis Khan
6. Too Many Faces
7. Change The World
