Ace Frehley , former guitarist for Kiss , was in the band from its formation until the group's first farewell tour, The Farewell Tour , in the early 2000s, with some breaks along the way.
Currently, the band continues with the iconic Spaceman on stage, but now with Tommy Thayer Frehley 's replacement since 2003.
Despite his fundamental role in the band's legacy, his unmistakable technique and personality, Ace Frehley was not invited to the final End of the Road Tour as a band member, although the possibility of a special appearance existed. Therefore, Wikimetal asked its readers : Does it make sense for KISS to continue without Ace Frehley?
For 58% of voters, the answer is yes, while the remaining 42% seem to agree with Frehley himself, who described the group's current lineup as "half a cover band" .
In episode 321 of the Wikimetal Podcast , our editorial team honored the guitarist's birthday, who turned 70 in April , and the question also came up in conversation with diverse opinions. Listen to or watch the episode here .
