Ace Frehley Covers "White Room," Reunites with Paul Stanley on New Album
Posted 02/11/2016 by Guitar World Staff

Ace Frehley Covers

This morning, the crew over at RollingStone.com premiered a new recording by former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley.

The song is from Frehley's new album, Origins Vol. 1, which is described as "a collection of 12 newly recorded classics from Ace’s formative years, featuring some of the biggest names in rock and roll." Some of those names include Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, who joins Ace on Free's "Fire and Water." This marks the first time Stanley and Frehley have appeared on the same studio recording since Kiss' 1998 reunion album, Psycho Circus.

"We've always been friends," Frehley told RollingStone.com. "The press seems to amplify negativity. I guess it makes good copy."

Yeah, it's OK.

Anyway, other guests on Origins Vol. 1 include Slash, who trades solos on Thin Lizzy's "Emerald"; Lita Ford, who sings and plays lead guitar on the Troggs' "Wild Thing"; John 5, who plays guitar alongside Ace as he sings his classic Kiss composition "Parasite" for the first time (as well as Jimi Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic"); Pearl Jam's Mike McCready plays guitar with Ace as he finally sings his Kiss Alive! mainstay "Cold Gin."

By the way, "White Room" is an iTunes instant-gratification track; fans who pre order the album on iTunes will receive the Cream cover song instantly. Use Google to help you find that link.

Here's the complete track list:

1. White Room (Cream)
2. Street Fighting Man (Rolling Stones)
3. Spanish Castle Magic (Jimi Hendrix) *John 5
4. Fire and Water (Free) *Paul Stanley
5. Emerald (Thin Lizzy) *Slash
6. Bring It On Home (Led Zeppelin)
7. Wild Thing (The Troggs) *Lita Ford
8. Parasite *John 5 (KISS)
9. Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf)
10. Cold Gin *Mike McCready (KISS)
11. Till The End Of The Day (Kinks)
12. Rock and Roll Hell (KISS)

This is awesome! I may have to get a ticket to see Ace in NYC! He was friends with my dad back in the day, they grew up in the Bronx together--always found that particularly cool

I didn’t expect you to play “White Room.” Maybe the Thin Lizzy song (“Emerald”) or “Cold Gin,” which might give Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready an opportunity to guest with you.

Yeah, that was fun. He did a great solo.

Wonder if McCready will show up at the Clearwater show. I would imagine the band will be somewhere in Florida by then.

Cold Gin has been my favorite Kiss song since the 70's, so I'm glad that's the one Mike is playing on. I grabbed the album earlier today and have been enjoying it! Especially Cold Gin!
