David "Gus" Griesinger of
BackstageAxxess.com recently conducted an interview with original
KISS guitarist
Ace Frehley. You can now watch the chat below.
Asked about his plans to write a follow-up to his
New York Times best seller
"No Regrets: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir",
Ace said, "Towards the end of [writing] the [
'No Regrets'] book, I finally got hold of a lot of the people I wanted to talk to and then I had the deadline, and by the time the deadline came around, a lot of the stories didn't make it into the first book. So the stuff that didn't make it into the first book is gonna be in the second book. . . [The book publishers] are not rushing me this time. They said, '
Ace, take your time. Get everything in. Don't miss a story.'"
"No Regrets: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir", landed at position No. 10 on the
New York Times "Hardcover Nonfiction" best sellers list. The book, which is described as a look back at
Ace's "life of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll," arrived on November 1, 2011 via
Gallery Books, an imprint of
Simon & Schuster.
"No Regrets", which was published under
Gallery's
VH1 Books imprint, was co-written by
New York Times journalist
Joe Layden who also authored
"The Last Great Fight" about what is considered by many to be the biggest upset in the history of boxing:
James "Buster" Douglas' tenth-round knockout win over
Mike Tyson in 1990.
Frehley performed with
KISS from its inception in 1973 until his first departure in 1982 before rejoining
KISS in 1996 for a very successful reunion tour.
Frehley's second stint lasted until 2002 as
Ace went back to being a solo artist again, but the stories and memories still remain from touring in one of rock and roll's most successful acts of all time.
Ace's latest album,
"Anomaly", was released on September 15, 2009 via
Ace's own
Bronx Born Records, with
Rocket Science providing a full label service platform in the U.S.,
"Anomaly" was produced and recorded in Westchester County, New York between 2007 and 2009 and was mixed in Los Angeles.
