Release date January 15th, 2010

 

When ACE FREHLEY unleashed “Anomaly” in 2009, he kick-started his at the time somewhat dormant career back to roaring live with a bang. The first solo album of the original guitar hero in twenty years sold over 15.000 copies in Europe alone, even before his successful tour started. ACE FREHLEY earned his legendary status as a member of famed KISS. The Space Ace shaped the sound of this famous band with his unique style and was the most important contributor to their songs during the seventies. When all members released solo albums in the year 1978, ACE FREHLEY’s record proved to be the most popular. Following the great success of “Anomaly” the celebrated axeman returns again with his first ever DVD “Behind the Player”. Opening his archives, Ace crams this work with goodies that will certainly make the mouths of his many fans water. The DVD highlights include three rare live performances, where Ace jams with very special guest musicians such as Matt Sorum (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), John 5 (MARILYN MANSON, ROB ZOMBIE), George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB) and Chris Wyse (THE CULT). On top of that there are an ACE FREHLEY documentary and extensive interview, rare KISS photos and a guitar clinic by Ace on KISS songs. “Behind the Player” is a must have for all fans of Space Ace and KISS.
