Ace comments, \u201cI just thought about the songs that I used to play in clubs when I was doing other people&#8217;s material. I went through my album collection and thought about the songs that influenced me the most. It\u2019s a pretty well-rounded record and I think the fans will enjoy it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4316070478MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4316070478MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2018Origins Vol. 2\u2019, featuring guest appearances by Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), John 5, Lita Ford and Bruce Kulick, is a well thought out, but not over-thought, album. For Ace, keeping things organic is an important part of crafting an album\u2019s atmosphere: \u201cI just let it happen. Things evolve when I start doing these records and I try not to plan too much ahead. I like spontaneity. It\u2019s the same way I write guitar solos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12849 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert-779x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"779\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert-779x1024.jpg 779w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert-768x1010.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/acefrehley_pressphoto2-credit-jay-gilbert-1140x1499.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">As the second volume focusing on his musical origins, Ace has grown since the release of\u00a0 \u2018Origins Vol.1\u2019, which hit #23 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts in April 2016, becoming his 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Top 40 and second highest charting solo album. Ace chuckles, \u201cSince I had one covers album under my belt, the process of doing \u2018Origins, Vol. 2\u2019 was easier because I had put together a formula, picking guest stars and so-on.\u201d The challenge for him was to put a suitable personal stamp on the material, and \u2018Origins, Vol. 2\u2019 is replete with special touches that both honour and embellish the songs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>***CONSUMMATE NEW \u2018ORIGINS VOL. 2\u2019 COVERS ALBUM RELEASED SEPTEMBER 18TH\u00a0ON STEAMHAMMER \/ SPV *** Ace Frehley, KISS co-founder and 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, continues his reflections on a lifetime in music with the release of \u2018Origins Vol. 2\u2019, a thoughtful and exciting collection of new covers, on September 18th\u00a0on Steamhammer \/ [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[3832,5542,5540,5541,3343],"class_list":["post-12847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ace-frehley","tag-bruce-kulick","tag-john-5","tag-lita-ford","tag-robin-zander-cheap-trick","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12847"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12851,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12847\/revisions\/12851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
