The lead guitarist was known as The Spaceman, Space Ace, for nearly 10 years before he left the glam band to embark on a solo career. Frehley rejoined Kiss in the mid-1990s for a reunion tour but was replaced by Tommy Thayer in 2002.<\/p>\n In an interview with Classic Rock History<\/a> earlier this year, Frehley described Thayer as a \u201cfriend,\u201d but added, \u201cthe fans don\u2019t like\u201d him as Spaceman. He also claimed he wanted to be part of the band\u2019s farewell tour which played out from 2019 to 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cIt should have been me, and I wanted it to be me. After I got sober, the thing to do was to have me in the band and give the fans a real farewell,\u201d he said. \u201cTommy is a good guy and a friend, but he will never be me. He doesn\u2019t have the feel.\u201d<\/p>\n Frehley admitted that it got to the point that he didn\u2019t want to work with his original bandmates Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons<\/strong>, and Peter Criss.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI took a pretty bad beating over the years from those guys, and I got to a point where maybe I lost respect and didn\u2019t want to work with them anymore,\u201d he admitted. \u201cBut I want people to know that I do love Paul and Gene. I love Peter, too. I wish things had been different, but it wasn\u2019t to be. God had a plan for Kiss and for me.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 26, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
