He said of his loose, spontaneous approach to playing guitar and writing songs: “All I did was crank it up to 10 and start to rock and roll. When you stand in front of a Marshall stack and crank it, nothing sounds better!” Frehley was a hero and an influence to numerous guitar players.

Here's everything to know about Ace Frehley's family, including his estranged wife and daughter Monique. Ace was 18 years old when he began dating Jeannette, according to The New York Times. They tied the knot in the late 1970s amid his rise with the band.

McCready added: "Ace jammed on Black Diamond with Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden… a dream come true for me. “I would not have picked up a guitar without Ace and Kiss’s influence. “RIP it out Ace, you changed my life. Thank you.”
