Ace Frehley track from upcoming album 'Space Invader'.

[TheAce93]

Once again, I'm delivering old news.

I just found this today by chance, despite it apparently being on Youtube since May 29th.

Gimme a feelin'

First thoughts?

I think it's a great track, though I have a couple of nitpicks with it.

Firstly, the lyrics. They're not exactly thought provoking, even by Ace's lyrical standards these are a bit dry. Maybe I've just been spoiled by Steely Dan.

Secondly, riffs and solos. It almost sounds like Ace is trying to parody himself. His signature licks are what make his tracks so great, but I think he might be overdoing it here, ala Zakk Wylde and his pinch harmonics + wah/chorus.

Overall, it's still a great song, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album (especially his cover of Steve Miller's 'The Joker')

Also, apparently the track listing is already out, or has been leaked, along with the album artwork.

1.Give It To Me
2. The Joker
3. Time Waits For No One
4. Space Invader
5. Inside the Vortex
6. Gimme a Feelin’
7. Change
8. Reckless
9. Toys
10. Immortal Pleasures

Hope ya'll enjoy it.

I really enjoyed the new tune. I was pleasantly surprised how good 'Anomaly" was and am looking forward to the new one!

You can't get around the Fact that Ace carved out a place in rock and roll history with an instantly recognizable style.

Ace is still bringing it. If you close your eyes it sounds like Old KISS.

PPPPPffffffttttt..........ok you own me a new shirt bro. LOL!

Well shit, I've already played it over 30 times according to iTunes.

The song has really grown on me since I discovered it!

If the rest of the album is anything like this then I think it could be a contender for my personal 'album of the year', which is currently Black Label Society's 'Catacombs of the Black Vatican'

Oh for f*ck sake.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't to be expected but I still can't express how disappointmented I am...
