ACE BIRTHDAY BASH NOT A DULL AFFAIR:
Site regular Richard reported in today after just getting back from the Ace Frehley Birthday Bash in Hackensack, New Jersey (The Rothman Center).
It seems the day was a bit of an event - for all the wrong reasons.
Richard reports:
- A limit of 500 guests were on hand, Ace arrived totally 'whacked' out and there was an evacuation of the facility due to a Bomb threat! Police and emergency units were summoned and everyone waited outside while the K9 unit went to work. After about an hour, everyone was permitted back inside.
Not only that, but Richard says he personally witnessed Ace arguing with the promoter over wanting more cash to sign the balance of fan's autographs. He had already signed for about half the fans there.
Additionally, there was supposed to be a Q&A, which only lasted about 10 minutes of Ace bitching about Gene Simmons. Gene's all about money...etc..etc... Ace made it very evident that he's finished with Kiss, and finished with Simmons in particular.
Ace says new solo record later this year...
The promoter came up with a wad of cash and Ace returned to signing autographs for the remaining fans.
Rich says: "Later in the evening, Eric Singer was scheduled to present Ace with a birthday cake. We all waited anxiously with cameras in hand. Imagine our surprise when Singer and Gene Simmons entered the room with a cake!!! Gene said nothing as he walked methodically across the room with the cake, presented it to Frehley who was clearly angry by this time. Simmons left as quietly as he entered and sped away in a black Benz.
After this, Frehley got up and went to a microphone where he announced very simply, "It's amazing what some people will do for money""
It seems the Aerosmtih/Kiss tour that has been rumored for more than 6 months was also back on the agenda, with growing speculation that it will be announced soon.
