Ace Frehley 1978 solo KISS record

Today I'm spinning Ace Frehley's solo KISS record from 1978. KISS was the band that got me into the heavier spectrum of music. The year was 2000, and I was 8 in music class when a classmate brought his mums Dynasty album to class. The teacher lit up and said he had fond memories from his youth of this band, and then put on the CD and played the first song. The bassline to I Was Made for Lovin You starts and then the guitar blasts in. I was instantly hooked. From that moment "KISSteria" started for me and I dove straight into their music catalogue, and later on other heavier stuff. I credit KISS as the reason I am who I am, and a lot of that is because of Ace.

Rest in Peace, Spaceman. I thank you for all the music you created, your showmanship on stage, and all the other great bands I listen to that you helped inspire.
