Frehley tells The Village Voice: "I could sense he always wanted to be me. He used to be in a Kiss cover band. He didn't do anything - he was hired by Paul and Gene to put on my makeup and costume and play my guitar solos - a business deal. If he wouldn't have done it, they would have hired somebody else.

"What they really should have done is, if they wanted to dress up a guy to play lead guitar, they should have come up with different makeup, like they did with Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent. That's what the fans are upset about."

Asked about Thayer launching a limited-edition Spaceman guitar, Frehley responds: "I mean, how big are the balls on this guy?" Ace isn't done, read more - here.
