Ryan remembers Ace Frehley from KISS

Tribute to a great

He was iconic and trend-setting.

American rock superstar Paul "Ace" Frehley, the lead guitarist and original member of KISS, died October 16.

He was a mainstay of the mega glam rock band from 1973 through 1982, and then again from 1996 to 2002.

Frehley created the persona, the Spaceman (a.k.a. Space Ace).

Ryan, from 104.7 The LIZARD, gives this tribute to a man we've celebrated often on the K10 app and on our radio stations.
