Destroyer: Gene Simmons

Gene Simmons: For one thing, there was this childhood obsession with astronauts. For another, his image was less likely to cause nightmares compared to demonic, blood-spitting bandmate Gene Simmons. Cut me some slack, I was nine when Destroyer came out, according to The Chronicle Herald. Cut to 30 years after Frehleys initial departure from the band and Kiss remains a worldwide phenomenon and In my days as a young private in the Kiss Army, my favourite commanding officer had to be Ace Frehley, the mysterious Space Ace guitarist of the greasepaint-covered rock act. Plus there were some great songs credited to the silver lame-clad rock alien, like Shock Me, Rocket Ride and, the only hit from those ill-fated 1978 Kiss solo albums, New York Groove.
