Aceland: Artifacts and Memories of Ace Frehley's Rock 'n' Roll Journey
Ace Frehley, the legendary guitarist known for his work with Kiss, was actively involved in creating new music and a book project before his passing in October. The upcoming book, titled Aceland: Artifacts and Memories of a Rock 'n' Roll Life, is a collaboration between Frehley and authors Ken Sharp and Julian Gill. The book, which is over 550 pages long, features fresh conversations with Frehley and interviews with various figures from his career.
The initial concept of the book was focused on guitars, but it evolved into a more music-centric project that delves into all aspects of Frehley's musical journey. The book will cover his pre-Kiss bands, his time with Kiss, and his activities post-Kiss. The authors, who have extensive experience writing about Kiss, aim to celebrate Frehley's musical legacy in a positive light and provide new insights into his pre-Kiss bands.
Frehley had expressed interest in sharing his life story in a film format, suggesting that actor Ezra Miller would be a suitable choice to portray him. Despite having previously released a memoir in 2011, titled No Regrets, Frehley felt that his life story was worthy of a cinematic adaptation. The upcoming book, Aceland, is set to be released in the new year and is expected to be a celebration of Frehley's enduring legacy.
The authors, Ken Sharp and Julian Gill, are deeply saddened by Frehley's passing but are confident that their book will honor his legacy in a positive and celebratory manner. Aceland: Artifacts and Memories of a Rock 'n' Roll Life promises to provide fans with a comprehensive look at Frehley's musical journey and offer a fresh perspective on his contributions to the rock 'n' roll world.
