Yesterday, Ace Frehley passed away at the age of 74. One of Ace’s greatest moments was the time KISS appeared on the Tom Snyder show. The full 30 minute interview is also on YouTube, but here’s a short clip. Gene is a control freak and wanted to do all of the talking for the band but Tom was enamored by Ace....Ace may have had a few drinks before the show and it became the Tom and Ace show....
