How difficult it is to make a review when the show being analyzed it provides one of the people who left an indelible mark writer's life. Someone who no longer care about the years of the artist, or that the golden ages with the makeup of the Space Man are well behind. Much less rummaging for a critic of the guitarist than, with a simple riff, has the ability to transport me to the room of my adolescence, where I used to enjoy it on a cassette recorded by friends, in front of a huge poster with his smoking guitar.

The truth is that Ace Frehley passed through Argentina, where he gave four concerts (The Roxy Live, Vórterix theaters of Rosario and Capital Federal and the Flores Theater) and he rekindled the idyll with the Argentine public who knew how to wait for him for so many years (It was his first solo visit and the last time he came with Kiss was in 1999).

The excuse was the presentation of his latest material, Origins Vol. 1, although Emerald only played in The Roxy Live and in Rosario - obviously Parasite and Cold Gin will tell it to the Kiss repertoire and not to their album of versions released in April 2016.

Accompanied by a historic hillside as Richie Scarlet on guitar, the brilliant Chris Wyse (ex The Cult) on bass and Scot Coogan (knew how to work, among other various artists, with Brides of Destruction by Nikki Sixx and Lynch Mob), Frehley was seen intact. With the best that can be said to a musician of these characteristics: if at that moment someone in the audience closed their eyes and just listened, I'd know right away that the sound coming from the guitar was from the legendary Ace, who knew how to give the most rocker and dirty touch to the first (and golden) Kiss time.

On the other hand, each of its musicians had a moment to show off, Coogan began with a vocal contribution on the classics Love gun and Detroit Rock City., Wyse did a solo that included excerpts from the movie The Exorcist, N.I.B from Black Sabbath and also sang Strange ways and finally Scarlet, that revived Frehley's solo stage of the late 1980s, with 2 Young 2 the, Dedicated to the memory of the late drummer Eric Carr.

There was time for classics of all time, como Rock soldiers, Rip it out, Snowblind, or New York groove and from his album Space Invader he only played Toys.

For the end, Kiss classics left the stage and took us back to the beloved Alive I and II, first with Shock me and Cold Gin, for the first closing and with an aroused audience that infected the musicians who left everything on the stage and finally with the Detroit Rock City and Deuce double..

There was not even time to regret if one or another song was missing from Frehley's enormous repertoire of classics. (good, If they left me, it wouldn't have been bad Talk to me and Do ya), what really mattered is that we had a pending account settled and we enjoyed the coming of the Space Man, that provided a close Rock-type encounter.
