Ace Frehley | with Slaughter and Quiet Riot
Ace Frehley – with Slaughter and Quiet Riot
July 12
Doors – 6:30 pm
Show – 7:30 pm
Don’t miss Ace Frehley performing many of the KISS classic hits alongside Slaughter and Quiet Riot on July 12th at Iroquois Amphitheater! The only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley’s signature “Spaceman” makeup is his guitar playing. Thundering riffs and singable solos have enshrined him as one of the most influential, inspiring, and impactful musicians of all time. Simply put, rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without him.
Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. Guitar World named him in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.” Magnifying the imprint of his catalog as a solo artist, Foo Fighters cut a fan-favorite cover of “Ozone,” and he even jammed out “New York Groove” alongside The Roots on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The late Dimebag Darrell of Pantera proudly sported a tattoo of Frehley on his chest, while Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine celebrated him on X/Twitter as “My first guitar hero.” Embedded in popular culture, he also, penned the New York Times bestselling memoir No Regrets, and packed venues everywhere on tour for decades.
- For the past decade SLAUGHTER has continued to tour, performing 40 – 50 shows per year at casinos, fairs, festivals and biker rallies all across the US to record-breaking audiences. The band has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans. What’s most important is that their music is still here– and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.
- QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”
