He was the man with the rocket firing guitar. Dubbed the Space Ace, the coolest member of 70s rock gods Kiss and a man who attracted a legion of fan followers of his own for reasons both good and bad. Ace's devilishly potent guitar playing lent Kiss a sense of purpose and ambition that elevated them from amusing comic book crusaders to seriously dangerous heavy metal heroes.

As with most things in life it couldn't last. Down but not out, Ace left Kiss in 1982 to pursue a solo career, one that was eagerly anticipated by legions of fans keen to sample his razor sharp riffs and quirky song writing in a brand new setting. With two successful albums recorded under the banner of Frehley's Comet, Ace retired the band moniker in favour of a solo outing for album #3, the amusingly titled Trouble Walkin .

Issued in late 1989, the album reunited Ace with veteran Kiss Producer Eddie Kramer helping to craft a record of high grade hard rock with all the accoutrements that you might reasonably expect from such a maverick character. With titles such as Shot Full Of Rock , Five Card Stud , Hide Your Heart , 2 Young To Die and a brilliantly creative cover of ELO's Do Ya , Ace unloads salvo upon salvo of lighting fast licks and twisted riffs proving that his talent was as explosive as ever. Track listing: Shot Full Of Rock; Do Ya; Five Card Stud; Hide Your Heart; Lost In Limbo; Trouble Walkin'; 2 Young 2 Die; Back To School; Remember Me; Fractured III

I still have this album in my collection but probably haven't listened to it since 1989. I remember it being a bad, bad, bad, bad album which was disappointing because the first couple Frehley's Comet records were decent efforts. Tod Howarth presence was missed in a big way. Whatever happened between Ace and Howarth anyway?

Guest appearance by Peter Criss, as I recall. Some good tracks on here, some not so memorable. I thought Ace's version of "Hide Your Heart" was better than Kiss's.

This is my favorite of Ace's post-KISS solo albums. The choice of "Do Ya" as a cover is an inspired choice and Ace really let it rip on this album. The cover of a then-current KISS song "Hide Your Heart") was kind of weird (especially since there were something like five different versions of that song out at the same time), but this is a really strong album.

I still have my original CD and I don't feel the need to get this remaster, but it's good and I would advise anyone else to pick it up.

I'll have to pull this one back out and see if I missed something.

I may pull this out for the weekend as well.

Add "Second Sighting" to the remasters as well.

Due the same day.



Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Classic Hard rock from former Kiss guitarist / Contains Insane , It's Over Now and Dancin With Danger / 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, unpublished photos and band involvement. As a founding member and lead guitarist of Kiss, Ace Frehley - known affectionately as the Space Ace - was probably one of the most identifiable rock stars of the 70s. Indeed, his profile was so prominent that when the band hatched the brilliant idea of releasing four solo albums simultaneously, it was Ace's record that not only sold the most but also attracted the best reviews. It was a fact that apparently still irritates the rest of Kiss to this very day. By the early 80s however things for Ace were getting decidedly shaky and, it must be said increasingly, out of control. Losing grip on his situation and his standing within the band, Ace's departure in 1982 was almost inevitable. Fortunately, the Kiss Army remained loyal and eagerly awaited his return to active duty with Frehley's Comet, a project powered by him alone. Second Sighting , originally issued in 1988, was the second outing from this unit gathering together a working band that featured seasoned drummer Jamie Oldaker, ex John Waite bassist John Regan and, perhaps most importantly, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tod Howarth, a man who had gained a stirling reputation as leader of cult AOR favourites 707 and live work with both Cheap Trick and Ted Nugent. Bristling with energy and hard rock firepower, Second Sighting takes no prisoners, allowing Ace to stretch out and take command of his legacy in a manner that befitted his explosive and larger than life reputation.Track listing: Insane; Time Ain't Runnin' Out; Dancin' With Danger; It s Over Now; Loser In A Fight; Juvenile Delinquent; Fallen Angel; Separate; New Kind Of Lover; The Acorn Is Spinning
