When Ace Frehely left Kiss in 1982 after the release of their Creatures of the Night album (which he didn't even play on), the main reason for his departure was so he could pursue a solo career.

Nobody predicted that it would take Frehely five years to issue his first solo album outside of Kiss, 1987's Frehely's Comet.

Frehely  regrouped with producer Eddie Kramer.

Several tracks are reminiscent of the Ace of old (the autobiographical "Rock Soldiers," the instrumental "Fractured Too," and "Breakout," the latter co-written with Kiss' Eric Carr).

Keyboard-sweetened pop-metal reigned supreme in 1987 (Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, etc.), and like his former band, Ace was often swayed into replicating the then-flourishing sound, as evidenced by such tracks as "Into the Night" (written by "New York Groove" composer Russ Ballard), "Calling to You," and "Dolls."

Rhythm guitarist Todd Howarth lends a hand with songwriting and vocals, while Late Night With David Letterman drummer Anton Fig handled percussion.

Frehely's Comet is just as good (perhaps even better) than Kiss albums from the same era like Asylum and Crazy Nights.

Way to Go Ace!

Album Notes
In 1978, all four members of Kiss released solo albums simultaneously.

Consensus among fans held that guitarist Ace Frehley's album was the most impressive of the four.

Solo ambitions were what prompted Frehley to leave Kiss in the early '80s, but a serious car crash and recurring problems with drugs and drink postponed the release of 1987's FREHLEY'S COMET for a number of years.

Joining Frehley in his new band were session bassist John Regan, Cheap Trick touring sideman Tod Howarth (guitar/vocals/keyboards), and drummer Anton Fig (of David Letterman's house band).

While FREHLEY'S COMET doesn't quite match up to Frehley's solo debut, it has proved to be his best post-Kiss solo outing.

Like many other '70s rock artists who resurfaced in the '80s, Frehley tried to inject glossy pop into his metal instead of sticking with the straight-ahead raw rock of yore.

Still, the album includes several highlights, such as the anthem "Rock Soldiers" (detailing Frehley's near-fatal car crash), "Into the Night," "Stranger in a Strange Land," and the album-closing instrumental "Fractured."
