During an appearance on yesterday's (Monday, April 27) episode of
SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation", original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley
revealed that he has been using the coronavirus downtime to work on
"new material for a studio record." He explained: "Because of this
virus, everything has been pushed back," he said. "The release of my
'Origins Vol. 2' [the sequel to his
2016 collection of cover songs that
inspired him] has been pushed back to the fall. I don't wanna be too
idle, so I decided to start recording my next studio record. What
the hell?"
According to Ace, "Origins Vol. 2" was "done months ago" but there
is no concrete release date yet for the effort.
"We're talking about the end of the summer," he said. "We might put
out a single earlier than that — during the summer. We're talking
about probably not till September. But that can change. Don't quote
me or anything. First it was the summer, then it was the end of the
summer. Last I heard it was September. Everybody's worried about
their health. Health comes first, because without your health,
you've got nothing."
It was previously reported that "Origins Vol. 2" would feature guest
appearances by Lita Ford (on THE ROLLING STONES' "Jumpin' Jack
Flash"), CHEAP TRICK's Robin Zander (on HUMBLE PIE's "30 Days In The
Hole", former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick (on Jimi Hendrix's "Manic
Depression", ROB ZOMBIE's John 5 (on BEATLES' "I'm Down" and CREAM's
"Politician").
Last year, Frehley told
The Weekender that "Origins Vol. 2" will
once again feature a LED ZEPPELIN tune, "Good Times Bad Times". He
also revealed that he wanted to lay down the vocals for "30 Days In
The Hole" himself, but that he "just couldn't cut it, vocally,
because [Steve] Marriott's just too good of a goddamn singer. I just
couldn't do justice to his vocals," he explained. "But I remembered
that I had bumped into Robin Zander years ago at a meet-and-greet
and he had mentioned to me that he'd like to sing on one of my
upcoming records, so I remembered that and gave him a call. And he
killed it as well. He sounds like a young Marriott.". |
