Fan-filmed video of Ace Frehley‘s May 31 concert at the Ohio Bike Week in Sandusky, Ohio can be seen below.
The original KISS guitarist played his song “Cherry Medicine” live for the first time during his concert on May 26 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Frehley released the official music video for “Cherry Medicine” in February. The clip was directed by Justin H. Reich of Three Thirty-Three Creative and produced by Reich and Steve Seabury.
This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):For 30-plus years, the fire-breathing bassist has been the biggest, brashest loudmouth in KISS; a shrewd huckster and master manipulator who seldom misses a chance to bag a buck. But like a lot of wealthy folk, Simmons sometimes seems to confuse the size of his wallet with the breadth of his talent, ability and intellect. Thus we end up with high-aiming misfires like Music From The Elder, the first KISS solo albums (minus Ace‘s ace in the hole, of course) and ***Hole, Gene’s first non-band recordings in more than 25 years.
Kiss officially called it a day at the end of 2023, much to the dismay of many of their fans. The band has stepped away from touring and making new music, but that doesn’t mean their following is done consuming their work in huge numbers. This week, one of the group’s most beloved tunes soars again on one Billboard chart, reaching a new peak.
“I Was Made for Loving You” jumps up the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The tune lifts from No. 9 to No. 3 on Billboard’s list of the bestselling tracks in the country that can be classified as hard rock in style and sound.
No. 3 now stands as the loftiest position yet for “I Was Made for Loving You.” The track has only spent half a dozen weeks on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list, with several of those being in the past month or so as the tune enjoys something of a comeback.
