FREHLEY'S COMET (1987)

The new Frehley's Comet from General Motors - available in your choice of red or blue sparkle...


Ace is back! And he told you so!!!

This time he's back with a new band, including some other dude singing lead on every second song. Ace's songs are generally better, though. Because Ace is better than everyone. Even you. Don't take it personally, it's just what he does.

Rock Soldiers is awesome and seems to just be a story of him getting high and crashing his car or something. Breakout is a track that originally started as a jam between Ace and Eric Carr. Why you would care is beyond me, but hey you are the one reading this. I probably am too. Into the Night is also awesome and features some really great lead work from Ace. Like that's new...

Calling to You sounds like it should be in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or something. That's an awesome movie. Dolls is some strange song about how much Ace likes dolls. I'm guessing he means actual real women in general or something and not Victorian dolls. For some reason I am now picturing him sitting in an old cottage having a tea party with some Cabbage Patch Kids...

Ace then regales us with what it's like being a spaceman on Earth in Stranger in a Strange Land, before Fractured Too and then hits his rocket blasters back to outer space. Or wherever he has been since Music from 'The Elder'.

We've missed you, Ace!!!
