Ace Frehley Makes Surprising Gene Simmons Revelation (A Top Story)


.

On Thursday Ace Frehley Makes Surprising Gene Simmons Revelation was a top story. Here is the recap: (Classic Rock) Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley says that singer and bassist Gene Simmons is actually a "sweet, sensitive guy" and recalled a time when his former bandmate helped him when he was leaving a hospital.

The rock star has faced backlash in recent years over his controversial opinions. But Frehley says his ex-bandmate Simmons just "can't help himself" - and adds that he has a softer side that people don't always see.

Frehley tells Sixx Sense: "I think he's coming down with Tourette's Syndrome. He can't help himself sometimes. But you've gotta love that guy. I mean, he saved my life twice. I was in the hospital in 2005 out here in Los Angeles, and I was leaving the hospital, and I was supposed to leave in a wheelchair.

"Most people when they leave hospital are wheeled down to the lobby and then you get in a limo. He picked me up and carried me all the way downstairs. He didn't want me to be in a wheelchair. I mean, how sweet of a guy is that?"

Frehley adds: "Gene comes off very abrasive and like a money-grabbing guy, but, you know, there's another side to Gene. There's that sweet, sensitive guy that you don't always see. But it's there." Read more - here.
