Happy 70th birthday to the one and only Ace Frehley!

Frehley, of course, was the original lead guitarist for KISS. The was a member of the band from its early days in the mid-1970s until 1982. He left the band and then jumped back in for the band's 1996 reunion tour.

Then, in 2002, Frehley left Kiss at the end of the band's farewell tour. (The tour, of course, ended up not being their farewell run at all.)

Frehley also has a plentiful solo career. His latest album, Origins Vol. 2., arrived in September of 2020 and featured an array of cover songs.

Here are some great photos of Ace over the years!
