In the name of full disclosure, we’ll kick this off by stating that we aren’t 100% sure if this really is former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley in the above photo. Hopefully any die-hard KISS fans reading this can forgive us for that. The band wears full makeup and we’re not nearly into them enough to make a positive identification based on body language and distinguishing facial crags alone. Sorry.
But that’s completely beside the point, because there’s a serious problem here. Ace Frehley is really sad, you guys!
Is it because that other dude is cupping what may be his wife, girlfriend or escort for the night’s breast? Is it because he doesn’t have a breast to fondle? Is the guy he’s talking to serving him with court papers or something? Is Gene Simmons suing him for some reason? Gene strikes us a pretty litigious kind of guy, but we think we would have heard a story like that somewhere, so it’s unlikely.
So what the hell is it that has Ace Frehley so down in the dumps? Our sources tell us the picture was taken in Las Vegas, so whatever the problem is, it must be pretty horrible. If you’re depressed in a city like Las Vegas, things have gone completely off the rails. So what’s the problem? We want to know! Can you help us figure it out?

Because he found out that you’d been calling him Peter Criss when he’s CLEARLY Ace Frehley! LMAO

Because you got his name wrong…Peter Chris is the drummer. That would be Ace Freely, the guitar player. Peter Played the drums! So yeah, that would make him pretty sad!!! LOL

He’s down in the dumps cuz he’s Ace Frehley and you called him Peter Criss.

No idea what you guys are talking about. None.

He bummed because he’s really not Ace Frehley, and much like the real Ace Frehley, nobody seem to care about him. There’s an entire group of guys dressed up like KISS (including this dude) that walk around Las Vegas (on Fremont Street as well as The Strip) posing with tourists for tips. A lot of these guys moved out to Vegas in the last year after the crackdown on costumed characters in Hollywood.

Steven, what else do you randomly know a ton about?
2:28 pm on February 21st, 2011
Steven, that’s fascinating. Also, that’s the saddest way to make a living ever. Excluding being an internet comedy writer, of course.

It’s not Ace Frehley. Nor is it his ex-wife Jeanette.

He’s not bummed, the caption should read “Been there, done that, got the herpes to prove it”.

He has to go poop…really bad…in his head “Bathroom,Bathroom,bathroom”

I took this picture while in Vegas and I know why Ace is so sad. The photo was taken shortly after the Packers won the Superbowl and Ace, the poor thing, is a Steelers fan. PACKERS!

Ace is a bit “down”because he lost his eyeliner, and makeup kit!

That’s not the real Ace Frehley, it’s a costume character. Ace hasn’t been in KISS since 2002. He has a solo career now, and has written a book, No Regrets. That person is wearing Ace’s costume from 1978.
