Easy choice this week ... in honor of the eternal memory of Ace Frehley, buried this week in Brooklyn. "Strange Ways" appeared on KISS' second album Hotter Than Hell.
Ace wrote it, and I love it.
I've heard him play this one many times in concert, including as it turns out his second to last ever performance (Tupelo Theater, Derry NH, Sept. 4, 2025) which I was proud to have attended.
Moral of the story: Don't ever skip the opportunity to see your aging rock heroes when they come around, because it may be your last chance.
I have not heard this particular recording prior, live with Peter Criss 1995, post first KISS breakup. Cool.
Seems impromptu. A bit rough around the edges.
Definitely awesome. Especially his solo starting around 3:15.
RIP Spaceman.
Addendum: Seems you have to click through to Youtube to watch this. Which I recommend. But in case you're feeling lazy I'm also posting the fine studio recording.
