Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has said that he would reunite with his former band members, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, for a reunion of the original lineup, but only if the price is right.
Ace appeared “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” yesterday (Thursday, September 16) and he spoke about the chances of him reuniting with former bandmates: “Anything’s possible — I’ve always said that. That’s the first question so many people have asked me over the years: ‘Would you ever consider doing a KISS reunion?’ I said, ‘I never closed the door on anything.’ If the money’s right and it’s presented to me in the right way, anything can happen.
“I’m on good terms with Paul [Stanley, guitar/vocals] and Gene [Simmons, bass/vocals], which is nice, because we created something really special in the early ’70s that has outlasted so many other bands. And God bless ’em. They’re still doing it; I’m still doing it. Peter [Criss, drums] is still around. I’m not quite sure why Peter hadn’t toured over the years as much as I have, but it is what it is.”
Ace Frehley’s latest album of original material, “Spaceman” was actually a title suggested by Simmons. The effort also featured two songs the pair wrote together. The two would also complete a joint summer 2018 tour of Australia, after which Frehley fired his solo band and hired Gene’s.
