• 1:11
  Speaker 1: big news. Yes, the big news, what's the next book?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Okay? Me, Like a lot of people were very upset
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: by the great Ace Fairlies passing. And after he passed,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I realized, you know, I interviewed Ace a lot of
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: times over the last fifteen years or so. So I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: went back and looked at the interviews and I realized,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, I have all these interviews where he talks
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: about pretty much all phase of his career, because like,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: although he'd be promoting a solo album, I would always
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: ask some questions about kiss and about even his personal
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: life and his hobbies and things like that. And he
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: was always a great interview. He's always very honest and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: very very friendly, a great, great guy. So I thought,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you know what if as a tribute to Ace, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: put together a book that compiles all the interviews I did,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and also do interviews with some people, some very well
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: known rock people that were fans of Ace and them
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: talking about what made him so great, as great and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: also influential, because I think you'd probably agree with me, Eric,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: along with probably Eddie van Haill and Ace Frehley, has
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to be two or three right behind as far as
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: how many people he was a huge influence.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: On absolutely, Yeah, how many I'm so influential. How many
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: guitar has picked up a guitar because they watched Ace
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Freely or listened to them or saw him on that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a live album cover? Right.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So the next book, which I'm gonna be Rush releasing,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna put this out through my own company,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Greg Predo, writer, is called I'm reading it, so don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: get the title wrong. Talk to Me Conversations with Ace
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Freeley by Greg Prada.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that's so cool, Greg. Yeah, that's just I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: love as I love Ace love Kiss And I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that's great that you're doing that because it's going to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: give us the story in his words. And that's interesting
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because I did a tribute episode just this week. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: put it out, and how many times did I hear
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: brutally honest, honest, told it like it is, but also
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: friendly guy, very nice guy. There's a picture of the picture.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It's the picture of me and Ace when I did
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: an interview with him back in two thousand and nine.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you could see that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when Anomaly came out in nine, right, Yes, yep, yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I love that album. That's probably his most personal, deeply
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: personal album.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He was he was kind of to sign this to me,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: he says too, Greg Rock on Ace feeling that was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: nice to him that he signed that for me.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Ace Ace man one of a kind. I'm still reeling
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm just listening to nothing but a solo and kiss.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know it's it's definitely hit me
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the same way when, of course Eddie van Halen passed away,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Neil part, you know, it's sad that we're just at
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the age now that these guys are getting old and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it's just they just sadly part of life.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: What's different from with Ace was as a journalist. I'm
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: sure you'll agree. I mean Ace was a guy who
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: could give great interviews and didn't mind doing interviews. Eddie
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was a little shy. He didn't want to do that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: kind of thing, and I think for Ace that helped
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: him a lot, kept him in the spotlight. He always
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: enjoyed talking about it again, told it like it is,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he did, So people keep an eye out for that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and just do what I do. I will go to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Amazon and I signed up. I clicked on the what
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is it? The follow Greg Prado link. Yes, do Amazon.
• 4:31
