During an appearance on a recent episode of the "Decibel Geek Podcast", Ace Frehley spoke about his relationship with KISS's most recent drummer Eric Singer.
"I really love playing with Eric. He's such a great drummer, and he has such a snap in his snare. 'Cause I jammed with him at a convention years ago, and we were doing 'Shock Me', and he just blew away the drummer that was playing previously. I said, 'Yeah, now that's a drummer.' I always tip my hat to Eric."
He continued: "Me and Eric have always been friends. We've kept in touch during all the bullshit that went down with KISS. Eric Singer's a great guy and he respects me. I respect him. I know he would prefer having me play guitar in the band than [KISS's most recent guitarist] Tommy [Thayer]. I don't think he's a huge fan of Tommy, but it is what it is. [KISS founders] Paul [Stanley] and Gene [Simmons] call the shots."

It is too bad that it couldn't be Ace and Eric, because that would have been great. I don't really doubt that Eric would have preferred Ace in the band as well.

Was such a missed opportunity when Eric replaced Pete x not return to the States x do an album. The bootleg I saw at the time from an Australian show kicked such major ass. |

This is just Ace being sour grapes over a decision he made.
If Eric would have preferred you over Tommy, why didn’t you make some effort, straighten yourself out and stay in the band, you drug fucked halfwit?
No-one told him to leave. That was his choice.

Sure, but let's be honest here - no one is going to be excited to have Tommy fucking Thayer as a bandmate. I am sure Eric Singer would have also preferred Bruce was back as well. |

All of this is completely meaningless and sour grapes on Ace's part.
Shut up, Ace.
Go out on tour, but before you do that, rehearse.
Intently.

I’d rather be in a band with Tommy than Peter. Or drug fucked Ace for that matter.

Sure you may have a reliable guitarist in your band, but he brings nothing to the band creatively of any worth. There is no point even having him in the band. I will take various rock legends who may have drugs and alcohol problems, but are creatively essential to the band. |
