During his performance of the KISS classic “Cold Gin” on March 3 during this year’s Monsters Of Rock cruise, Ace Frehley inadvertently activated his smoking guitar effect.
In a video capturing the incident, around the 53-second mark, Ace appears to mistakenly manipulate a dummy tone knob responsible for controlling the smoking mechanism. This action results in the guitar emitting fog from the pickup, much to the guitarist’s chagrin.
Ace‘s latest solo album, titled 10,000 Volts, saw its release on February 23 through MNRK Music Group, previously known as eOne Music.
In a recent interview with VRP Rocks, Ace said about the album: “I’m very happy with the way the record turned out. Now, a lot of times I’ve recorded records where sometimes you look at three or four songs on the album and you consider them not as good as some of the other ones and you kind of consider them as filler. But I don’t think there’s any filler on this album. I think every song has merit to it.”
“I think it’s one of the best albums I ever did,” he continued. “I mean, I think it’s probably as good as my solo album in 1978, which everybody seems to think is my best album to date. But I think this new album is equally as good as my 1978 solo album, and I think there’s more than one hit single on the album. So, if I was a KISS fan or an Ace Frehley fan, I’d go out and buy it immediately when it’s released on February 23rd, because you’re in for a treat.”
