Tommy Thayer:

“Ace (Frehley) obviously was a big, big influence on me and my desire to play guitar. When I started, I discovered Kiss and was immediately drawn to their look, their sound, and most importantly, the guitar playing.

“Ace played in a Clapton/Page style but made it his own. His guitar solos on the first three albums, plus Kiss’s Alive!, were signature, melodic, and memorable. That’s what makes him and his playing so special.”
