- Paul Daniel Frehley was born and raised in The Bronx New York City, the youngest of three children of Esther Anna and Carl Daniel Frehley. His father from Pennsylvania was the son of Dutch immigrants, and his mother is originally from North Carolina and has a German descent, He has a sister Nancy and a brother Charles a classical guitarist. The Frehleys were a musical family and when Frehley received an electric guitar as a Christmas present in 1964, he immersed himself in learning the instrument. Frehley was always surrounded by music and started playing guitar at age 13. Growing up on the corner of Marion Avenue and 201st Street off Bedford Park Boulevard and Webster Avenue in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx, Frehley graduated from Grace Lutheran School at age 13. Two of the high schools he attended were DeWitt Clinton High School on Mosholu Parkway and Theodore Roosevelt High School on Fordham Road. He got the nickname Ace in high school from friends who said he was a real ace for his ability to get dates. Also in his high school years a guidance counselor encouraged him to get into graphic arts, He later credited guitar playing for saving his life as a member of Kiss. Frehley's earliest bands included The Outrage, The Four Roses, King Kong, Honey and The Magic People. When Frehley's later band Cathedral began getting paying gigs, he dropped out of high school. At the insistence of his family and girlfriend Frehley eventually returned and earned a diploma. After graduation Frehley held a string of short term jobs including mail carrier, furniture deliverer, messenger, taxi driver and liquor store delivery person. Frehley spent the early 1970s in a series of local bands including one called Molimo who recorded half an album for RCA Records in 1971. In late 1972 his friend Chris Cassone spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in The Village Voice and showed the ad to Frehley. Frehley went to 10 East 23rd Street above the Live Bait Bar and auditioned for Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Peter Criss. Frehley showed up wearing one red and one orange sneaker and was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing, About three weeks later the band named Frehley as their lead guitarist. By January 1973 the band came up with the name Kiss, Frehley designed the band's double lightning bolt logo which was polished up by Stanley. The band quickly decided to paint their faces for live performances and Frehley decided to start painting silver stars on his eyes, When the group eventually decided to adopt stage personas to match their makeup and costumes, Frehley became Space Ace. Later his stage persona was also known as The Spaceman, Frehley stated that this persona was inspired by his interest in science fiction and space travel.

Best Rock band ever. KISS. Ace, Gene, Paul and Peter. And Aces new Album is Great. 10000 Volts
Ace was born "Paul Daniel Frehley" Paul Stanley was born "Stanley Bert Eisen"
Ace suggested to Paul to wear a "Star" on his eye. Designed the Lightning Bolts "Logo"
Let "Stanley Eisen" use his first name. Changed the sound of "Wicked Lester" and helped create the "Kiss" sound. Wrote killer songs like "Parasite" Strange Ways" "Cold Gin" "Shock Me" "Rocket Ride" "Hard Times" "Save Your Love" and created killer guitar solo's that were so great that he landed in the top 100 greatest rock guitar players of all time. Not to bad for a "Plumber that's a "Trout Player"
