Rock N Roll Experience recently did an interview with Ace Frehley. During the interview, Ace comments on the new KISS s0ng "Modern day Delilah" and what he thought of it.

Here's an excerpt the interview:

Rock N Roll Experience: Have you heard the new KISS single "Modern Day Delilah"?

Ace Frehley: Actually I did..I thought it was a good song....Paul's always been a really good writer & the only thing that I would say that the song didn't live up to was the fact that I believe they said that all the new songs were going to sound like stuff from the 70's & I didn't get that...the new song sounded like it could be something off an album they did in the 80's....that's what I got, but I thought it was a good song.

Rock N Roll Experience: What do you think of KISS selling their new cd exclusively through Wal-Mart?

Ace Frehley: It seems that more & more groups are going with major chains & I mean I guess there's a plus to the fact that they'll give you a large advance, but the minus is the album is only available in that chain of stores...I guess there's pluses & minuses to everything, I mean, I entertained that idea, but, for me, I thought it was better that my album be available everywhere.

Rock N Roll Experience: The horrible thing is though, there's not many record shops left these days outside of the major chains.

Ace Frehley: Yeah, well, I guess the internet has something to do with that (laughs), it's just the way of the future, I mean I started off with albums, I saw cassettes come into play, from cassettes it went to CD's & now I see CD's disappearing.

Rock N Roll Experience: Out of all the KISS merchandise from over the years, what was your favorite KISS merch?

Ace Frehley: I guess the dolls were probably the silliest (laughs) & most favorite I guess, I mean most of that stuff was kinda silly, & after I left the group it got even sillier, so...

Rock N Roll Experience: You have to admit, the dolls made you guys look like He-men, the dolls had muscles & were big & strong.

Ace Frehley: Yeah...we wish, right? (laughs)

Rock N Roll Experience: How would you like people to remember Ace Frehley?

Ace Frehley: I believe I have, from my peers, which makes me feel good, I've never compromised my music, I just wanna be remembered as somebody who had some integrity, a good singer & songwriter & performer & someone who really didn't have any bad things to say about anybody, ya know, I just wanted to get along with everybody, & try to give some people pleasure.
