Transcript

00:00The one, the only Ace Freely, rip it out, 105.5 WDHA, The Rock of New Jersey, along with Steve Brown.

00:06I want to read something in from Kristen, and this leads me to my next question.

00:10Kristen says, oh my God, I'm so fangirling right now.

00:14You need to tell Ace I'm his biggest fan, and I need to know when he's performing in New Jersey again.

00:19I've seen him twice, saw him with Kiss.

00:22I will only see Kiss if Ace is in the band.

00:25And my husband called me from the car and said, put on DHA! Ace is on!

00:30So let me tell you about where Ace is going to be.

00:32He's going to be at the Carteret Pack in Carteret, New Jersey.

00:34Stevie and I were just talking about this.

00:35I'm playing there?

00:36You're playing there, Ace!

00:38I never even look.

00:39Well, as long as they get you there, that's all that matters.

00:43You're playing there on the 13th of April.

00:46It's a Saturday night, I believe.

00:48Carteretpack.com to get your tickets.

00:50This place, Steve, you just played there with Wizards of Winter.

00:53It is just a phenomenal place to see a show.

00:56It is beautiful.

00:56It is a gorgeous venue.

00:58It's really, it's a theater, but it's got the arena treatment.

01:02Yes!

01:02The sound, phenomenal.

01:04The lights are spectacular.

01:06I mean, I looked at the light show.

01:07I'm like, wow, this looks like a Def Leppard light show.

01:10It is just a great place in the area in Carteret.

01:13There's a lot of restaurants.

01:15They've really done a whole rejuvenation of the area,

01:18but I can't say enough great things about it.

01:21And the Ace, Angel, and White Tiger show, April 13th, is going to be incredible.

01:27Crazy.

01:28The record will be out by that time.

01:30I want to do a couple of listener questions.

01:33Brett Grossman wants to know all about the touring band.

01:38So I know who the touring band is.

01:39But Ace, talk a little bit about the touring band.

01:42The who?

01:42The band that you're touring with.

01:44Your guys.

01:45Oh, Ryan, Jeremy, and Scotty.

01:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:49So they're going to be out with Ace at the Carteret Pack.

01:51And he also wanted to know about the openers.

01:53And yes, it is Angel, the band Angel.

01:56Frankie Domeno and Punky Manos.

01:58They're performing with me in the video of 10,000 votes.

02:02Yep.

02:03Yeah, Ace's band is.

02:04And White Tiger also on that bill.

02:08Patrick wanted to know about Origins 3.

02:10He said he heard that there's going to be a part 3.

02:13And also, will there be any other live Ace recordings coming up?

02:20So Ace, you want to talk a little bit about...

02:21That was something that was brought up and seriously considered.

02:26My biggest concern about it was, you know, when Kissed It Alive back in the 70s,

02:32nobody had cell phones with good cameras.

02:35But now everybody records the show.

02:37So I said to, you know, one of the heads of the record company,

02:42and we were going back and forth.

02:43And Steve really was up for doing a live album.

02:46But, you know, I told them a lot of reasons why we should stick with the Origins Volume 3,

02:53which is what I was slated to do.

02:56Because we can get some great guest stars and pick some really great songs I haven't done.

03:02Because remember, you know, in the late 60s and early 70s, there were so many great songs.

03:09Yeah.

03:09You know?

03:10Yeah.

03:10And I've already, you know, Lita Ford called me up the other day.

03:14She wants to be involved again.

03:16I got to give Slash a call.

03:18You know, that's all I can say at the moment.

03:20Okay.

03:20All right.

03:20We won't say anything else.

03:21But yeah, we're going to start with Origins Volume 3.

03:24It's going to be the next release.

03:25All right.

03:26So that's coming.

03:27Debbie D is from Philadelphia.

03:29Again, another one of your biggest fans.

03:30And she wants to know what you enjoy most about now living in New Jersey, Ace.

03:36Because Ace is Jersey now.

03:37Somebody called me earlier and said, Ace is living in New Jersey.

03:40I said, yeah, we're keeping him here for a while.

03:42So what do you like about living?

03:43It's funny because, you know, I've always said, no offense to Jerseyites,

03:49but I always said I'd never live in Jersey.

03:52And then all of a sudden I meet the schoolteacher and Sheila's in Jersey.

03:58And next thing you know, I'm living with her in Jersey.

04:02But it's northern Jersey.

04:04We're only 10 minutes from the New York border.

04:06And we live in a great town with a lake.

04:09And, you know, we live in a high-end development.

04:13I mean, I got 8,000 square feet, you know, nine-foot ceilings in my basement,

04:18recording, we're building a gym, you know, it goes on and on.

04:23But I love it.

04:24You're loving the life.

04:25Good, good.

04:26You're loving the life.

04:26Michael wants to know, Ace, how do you stay inspired?

04:31And what artists that you have worked with recently are inspiring you?

04:37So what inspires you?

04:38The most recent artist that inspires me recently is Steve.

04:42Yeah, okay.

04:44Yeah.

04:44And was that a two-part question?

04:47Yeah, but you stay inspired.

04:49You know, you stay inspired by having people around you that are good people.

04:53You know, I'm still like a little kid when I get up on stage.

04:58Yeah.

04:59I love, you know, I've been sober 17 years.

05:02And, you know, when you first get sober, you think you're not going to be as creative.

05:06But as the years progress and your brain clears up, you actually become more creative.

05:12You know, I mean, I've done, what, five or six records already?

05:16Yep.

05:17In the last so many years.

05:19Ten years.

05:20And my old band hasn't done a record in 20 years.

05:23Yeah.

05:23Go figure.

05:24Yeah.

05:24And your blood work gets better.

05:26And your blood work got better.

05:28Yeah.

05:28As you got sober.

05:29So go figure.

05:30He's going backwards.

05:32I tell him soon enough he's going to be doing eight minute abs in six minutes.

05:36Oh, and somebody else wants to know, are you still working on the follow-up to no regrets?

05:43Are you putting things down?

05:44Do you think that there's going to be a second part of your story that you would put out for people?

05:50Because, you know, the...

05:51Another book?

05:52Yeah.

05:53It was so well-received.

05:53I'm working on it.

05:55It's like on...

05:56It's on napkins.

05:59Because I'll be sitting in a restaurant and I'll remember a really cool story.

06:03And I go, I'll forget it, you know.

06:05Yeah, you got to jot it down.

06:06As soon as I remember it.

06:07So I write it down in a napkin.

06:08And I got a box filled with ideas.

06:11Yeah.

06:11It's just a matter of doing it.

06:14But, you know, my time is so limited because I got so many things going on at once.

06:20You got a lot of stuff going on, yeah.

06:22Now, Otis...

06:22But I will have a second book.

06:25Hopefully by the end of next year.

06:26Oh, wow.

06:27Oh, that's fast.

06:28That's fast to put a book out.

06:29Otis was on Instagram.

06:30He asked me, he was telling me last night, I have to ask him this.

06:33So I said, all right.

06:34So there's going to be a Shout It Out Loud, a biopic,

06:38that's going to chronicle the first four years of KISS.

06:41And he wanted to know, he said, I hope that Ace and Peter will be involved in at least

06:46the casting and coaching of the actors who will portray them.

06:51So have you heard about doing anything about that or no?

06:56The only thing I'm planning is a KISS movie about my life.

07:00Yeah.

07:00Because I think my life is the most interesting of the four original members.

07:05I don't doubt that.

07:06No offense to any of the other guys, but, you know, I mean, it's just...

07:11My life is like a fairy tale.

07:13And you know what I love?

07:15It keeps reinventing itself.

07:17Like, it's always like a full circle kind of time.

07:22I think one of the reasons God has kept me alive is because, you know, for the last 17

07:27years, I've been inspiring kids to get sober.

07:31You know, I have meeting greets after the show.

07:33Kids will come up to me and show me their five-year coin and say, I've been sober five

07:39years now, Ace, because of you.

07:41I figured if Ace Fairley could get sober, I could get sober.

07:44And, you know, it makes my evening, makes my day.

07:47Absolutely.

07:49Absolutely.

07:50A hundred percent.

07:51All right.

07:51We're going to play.

07:52Let's do a little live Shock Me, and then we'll come back and we'll wrap up with Ace.

07:56It was just such an awesome afternoon and just so much fun to have Ace hanging out in the

08:03WDHA studios.
