ACE FREHLEY: 'More 'Greatest Hits Live' Details Revealed

December 23, 2005

KissAsylum.com has revealed more information regarding original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's upcoming compilation titled album, "Greatest Hits Live", due on January 24, 2006 via Megaforce Records.

"Greatest Hits Live" (view cover here) track listing:

01. Rip It Out (Live)
02. Breakout (Live)
03. Cold Gin (Live)
04. Shock Me (Live)
05. Rocket Ride (Live)
06. Deuce (Live)
07. Strangers In A Strange Land (Live)
08. Separate (Live)
09. NY Groove (Live)
10. Rock Soldiers (Live)
11. One Plus One
12. Give It To Me Anyway

According to KissAsylum.com, "It looks like this material is simply a repackaging/consolidation of material previously released on '12 Picks' (1997) and 'Loaded Deck' (1998). As such, tracks 1-6, 8 & 9 were recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, England in March 1988 and feature Ace, John Regan, Tod Howarth, and Jamie Oldaker; Tracks 7-10 come from 'Loaded Deck'. Tracks 7 & 10 were recorded at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, September 4, 1987 and feature Ace, Tod, John, and Anton Fig; Tracks 11-12 are the studio outtakes from 'Loaded Deck'. 'One Plus One' was one of the great unknowns of the FREHLEY'S COMET recording history prior to its release in 1998. Written by Anton Fig and Phil Gladston, the song would be recorded during the first album sessions, but along with 'Words Are Not Enough' would be discarded and sit in Megaforce's vaults for over a decade, apparently forgotten by all. 'Give It To Me Anyway' was under consideration for use on the 'Trouble Walkin'' album and was fully recorded by Ace, Anton, Richie, and John. However, it was not used at the time. Of course, the song had been performed live by FREHLEY'S COMET since 1984 as it was one of the early songs the band wrote."
