Kiss Guitarist Ace Frehley on This Day in History

This day in history: Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley was born on this day in 1951. Frehley does not make the list of Rollingstone's greatest guitarists. In fact, the band Kiss does not make any list that I am aware of. In a nutshell, they were/are a fun band with mediocre musicians that had a great marketing gimmick. The makeup is genius, especially now that these guys are now old. Did you know: Paul Stanley accused Ace Frehley of being anti-semitic, and Frehley did own Nazi memorabilia. This had to be an interesting dynamic since the band's frontmen Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are Jewish. Ace Frehley is not alone in this. Lemmy from Motorhead also had a Nazi fascination, and David Bowie was detained by customs officers on a train at the Russian/Polish Border after Nazi books and mementos were found in his luggage...on this day in 1976.
