It was one of Ace's songs when they released their simultaneous solo albums. Wiki: originally recorded by Hello in 1975, and a top ten hit in the United Kingdom and Germany in that version.
2:20 that is 100% pure Ace Frehley. Ace may not have been as technically skilled as a Yngwie or a Steve Vai but he sure as hell has more character and fun. When he plays you wanna tap your feet.
100% was at 1st reunion show in Detroit and the energy with ace and Peter is completely on another level seen fake kiss on farewell and it was like watching a cover band
To everyone INSIDE Kiss..... whatever happens NOW...ALWAYS remember you had GOOD times TOO ! We STILL love you ALL....that includes every member that was IN the group. I LOVED this song Ace (Paul) , you really ARE an ACE !! Love & Greets from The Netherlands.
K vivan los KISS... son mis raíces rockeras y metaleras.....a los 8 años!! por eso mis papás no me kerian..jajaja..hoy k tengo 40 me siguen impresionando...wow!!!
THE KISS I SAW TWICE DURING FAREWELL REUNION TOURS WERE EVERY BIT OF THE KISS ROCK BAND IN THE 70's-80's & AMAZINGLY EVEN BETTER! I SAW MORE EXCITEMENT FROM THEM WHILE BACK TOGETHER ON TOUR THAT I STILL DONT SEE IN VIDEO CLIPS OF KISS IN ITS PRIME 70's-80's FOOTAGE! THEY ROCKED OUT LIKE KISS SHOULD, AND WHAT A SHOW THEY PUT ON..THE DAMN BEST ROCK BAND TOUR I'D SEEN THEN..& IS STILL! I WANT ACE FREHLEY & PETER CRISS TOURING WITH PAUL & GENE NOW! THE FAB 4 ARE KISS..no FILLERS or IMITATIONS!!
SPACE ACE & PETER CRISS created and started KISS along with PAUL & GENE. I LOVED THE FAREWELL REUNION TOUR IN 96.. AND IN 98! The full makeup and costumes... pyrotechnics... energy from the band while performing together again AND the crowded arena went crazy!! It was KISS PERFECTION... TRANSPORTING ALL OF US ACROSS SPACE AND TIME.. BACK TO THE 70's & 80's! They performed so well, looked just as they did then, gave us wild energy on stage, their smiles and interaction between each other rocked!
Just ordered all their original solo albums from Amazon. Have got a CD where it has one track from each album and New York Groove is on it and so far Ace is my fav!
2 Epic comments, KISS will never dies, been listening to them since I was 4/5 lol see them in 98 when i was 9 in london. They will be played to my kids (if i ever have any) same with a few other classic bands!
Ace F. is the greatest lead guitarist of a freaking famous hard rock group!! He's the TOPS!! in the ranks ( & better than : E.VanHalen, Angus Young & Sammy Haggar. Keep on ROCKING!!
it is very possible...they have always said they will until they can't do it any more...think of these guys as the beatles of hard rock...they have a legacy that just keeps going!
Wow, I never knew. I looked them up. Dave Clark 5, The Crystals, and The Rolling Stones. I always thought Kiss was an origional entity. Ace was always amazing to me for New York Groove on his solo Kiss album. Now I discovered that it was first done by Hello.
love Ace always forever Ace and Les Paul Standards....true his singing is off here but in the late 70's he was going through some tough times with alcohol and other shit..still the greatest 70s guitarist, pure Les paul Rock n Roll
Love this song Ace had plenty of songs that could've been A-Sides on KISS records. Rockit Ride/2000 man/Talk To Me the list goes on. Listen to his solo album. That's why it's the only 1 I own.
I wish he would have performed more songs from his 1978 solo album like RIP IT OUT, SPEEDING BACK TO MY BABY, SNOWBLIND, OZONE, WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, I'M IN NEED OF LOVE.
He didn't have confidence in his vocals at first so when he wrote songs, he said he'd just give them to Gene or Paul. Rumor is he first sang on a song called Queen For A Day, then the first recorded track that made it to an album was Shock Me. Ace is actually a good singer.
They actually have collaborated before as "guest musicians" in later solos they each released. Peter gave some drumming to Ace's "Trouble Walkin'" Album whereas Ace gave some guitar work for Peter's "Cat #1" Album. I also found a song where they both sang Cold Gin together.
I heard some guy say that Ace Frehley's guitar playing was overrated the other day on RUclips and I started laughing. I don't even listen to Kiss like that, but when this song came out in 1978, it was the one song that made me start listening to the band more.
Ace is the king of raw, nasty guitar! And he has that cool, deadpan punk voice...... a totally unique rocker. I've been a huge Ace fan since 1976!
Well, I love his voice and singing style. It's just so laid back and casual and kinda loopy.. makes smile everytime I hear him... in a *good* way :)
When i was 8 years old, i loved KISS.
Now im 42..... and i think. for an eight-year old , i had a good sense of what REAL music really is.
The solo is so flippin awesome! Man it should have been included in the studio version baby

I love Ace's voice!!!!!
Ace was always the coolest member of Kiss.

This is the only KISS that will ever be worth a damn. Ace and Peter or nobody!!!
100% was at 1st reunion show in Detroit and the energy with ace and Peter is completely on another level seen fake kiss on farewell and it was like watching a cover band
Gene & Paul always got the most attention for some reason. ACE was the Greatest member of KISS. This song is the BEST!!
Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm a fan of Kiss. This is Rock Rool.
This is deadly great recording, original recording equipment aside, but the feel and the energy ... RULES !!! Thanks JarxJar.
OMG im 12 and im in luv with ace & kiss their sooo good i been liking them for like 2 years...
This rocks!!!
Ace is da man, thanx for posting.
To everyone INSIDE Kiss..... whatever happens NOW...ALWAYS remember you had GOOD times TOO ! We STILL love you ALL....that includes every member that was IN the group. I LOVED this song Ace (Paul) , you really ARE an ACE !! Love & Greets from The Netherlands.
Personally this is my favorite Ace costume. I think it's easily his best.
I agree! Saw KISS in Gothenburgh Dec99 or 00. New York Groove was the best! ♥
For me it's either this one or the one he had on their Love Gun tour
I don't know, I think for me it's the cape. Makes him look like interstellar royalty or something. :D
AWESOME ACE !!!
I was there that night .
K vivan los KISS... son mis raíces rockeras y metaleras.....a los 8 años!! por eso mis papás no me kerian..jajaja..hoy k tengo 40 me siguen impresionando...wow!!!
Demonios Si'!
yup that was my first concert....aug 1st 1979 wednesday..... providence civic center RI 😝
stop yelling, doll! I was there too; these guys are awesome, and despite their reputation, they are true gentlemen.
Awesome Ace showcase!
Wayyy cool.. Ace gives his vocal stylings a bit of Mick Jagger in this Russ Ballard original!!!! Rock on!!
Lovelk Song ACE FREHLEY forever !
Someone who agree ? :b

I was there... 1979 Greensboro,NC.. I was 11 yrs old. My uncle took me.. I was the most happy kid in the world!!
I was at this show, or the show the day before. They were in Largo two days in July 1979. It was my very first concert!
This was one of the sickest songs by Kiss.
I challenge you to walk down the street without strutting when you hear this song.
It's a great rock song.
A friend and I just saw Ace at the Bear's Den in Buffalo New York last night(3/1/2008). He was great!
Just ordered all their original solo albums from Amazon. Have got a CD where it has one track from each album and New York Groove is on it and so far Ace is my fav!
bring back ace and peter , its what the fans would want ! its just not the same without them
2 Epic comments, KISS will never dies, been listening to them since I was 4/5 lol see them in 98 when i was 9 in london. They will be played to my kids (if i ever have any) same with a few other classic bands!
My favorite guitar!
Fantastic
Ace keep on rocking man
Back before backing tracks… just good raw rock n roll !
ONLY KISS ALBUM I OWN!!!!!!! ACE IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!!
Love this song and Ace!
This video was the first time I ever heard Ace on lead vocals years ago.
AAAAACE!
Amo esta rolita desde hace 33 años!!! Era yo muy pekeña!!
Like a boss!
Ace is the most talented member of KISS ever!!!
Ace is my biggest influence in music, he is AMAZING!
ACE!!!
RUclips is awesome! IMHO, Ace's solo album was far and away the best one.
Thanks for this.
ACE FREHLEY, ORIGINAL AND BEST!!
Ace F. is the greatest lead guitarist of a freaking famous hard rock group!! He's the TOPS!! in the ranks ( & better than : E.VanHalen, Angus Young & Sammy Haggar. Keep on ROCKING!!
Ace is the best and like rightwinger38 said, he's probely the most underrated guitarist alive, and probely one of the best
ACE solo album was the biggest seller out all ,members!
it is very possible...they have always said they will until they can't do it any more...think of these guys as the beatles of hard rock...they have a legacy that just keeps going!
My god, a KISS concert looks like a ton of fun.
look at that guitar!! only ACE could make up somethin so cool
That is the coolest guitar ever.
It's live! Saw Kiss do it without Ace and Peter. ,79 was inception year. However, the Brooklyn bridge performance in '90's looked and sounded awesome!
the great 70's icon, Ace is the Man!
ace is the coolest guy to ever pick up a guitar
Such a good song!
The Continental: From The World Of John Wick was brilliant end with this awesome song
SPACE ACE
back....in the new york groove....lalalaallalalalalalala love it since then!
im back to 42nd street.you gotta love space ace
2:20 now that right there is what you call having fun with the guitar. That's why I like Ace, when he plays it makes you wanna tap your feet.
Ace & His Bad Ass Les Paul
Thanks for posting
Great song Ace; Great book too!
great stuff ace
thnx! i know all the history,like who quit the band and all that! i wish eric car ws still here R.I.P! :(
Wow, I never knew. I looked them up. Dave Clark 5, The Crystals, and The Rolling Stones. I always thought Kiss was an origional entity. Ace was always amazing to me for New York Groove on his solo Kiss album. Now I discovered that it was first done by Hello.
Right on. I too just finished reading No Regrets. Unlike Gene's 2001 KISS and Tell, Ace @ least accounts for his mistakes.
ROCK ON ACE!
love Ace always forever Ace and Les Paul Standards....true his singing is off here but in the late 70's he was going through some tough times with alcohol and other shit..still the greatest 70s guitarist, pure Les paul Rock n Roll
yup, that might be it xD he doesnt suck, i love ace :D he's my idol you know.
KISS:Paul+Gene+Ace+Peter. The way it will always be.
I downloaded Ace's solo album tonight. I must say, I like the live verson of Back in the New York Groove a lot more...then the studio version
I love it ^-^
Ace rocks!
Love this song Ace had plenty of songs that could've been A-Sides on KISS records. Rockit Ride/2000 man/Talk To Me the list goes on. Listen to his solo album. That's why it's the only 1 I own.

Ace was & is the BEST of KISS!!!!

nice groove to it =)
Dynasty tour! I saw them on this tour at the Summit in Houston in '79. They're a little sloppy live, but the energy and excitement is hard to beat.
Kiss!!! One of the reason for leaving my country,,,looking for the New York groove!!!
Ace = guitar hero and rock god!
So great song..
Aces tone just kicks Paul's tone in the ass.
arguably the best singer ever lol
Without Ace, it just isn't KISS. Lance in beautiful Bremerton, Washington
LOVE AND ROCK TO ACE
FROM BRAZIL.
I LOVE ACE FREHLEY
LOVE MY SPACE ACE!! 3

ACE the best 4 ever
