Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (8/8/96, p.62) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - \"...This time the Tornados have tilted their Tex-Mex balance more in the Mex direction, with gorgeous Spanish-language love songs sung by [Freddy] Fender...\"
Advantages: Great blues! Disadvantages: None. Whatsoever.
...I have to admit I found Johnny Winter totally by chance. I was in a record shop and saw a CD in a round, metal case. "Johnny Winter? The TexasTornado? I'll buy that!" So I did.
What I found was a musician, Johnny Winter, who is a hard rocking bluesman of consummate skill. Johnny Winter is such a accomplished bluesman that I have to admit that it came as something of a shock to discover that Johnny Winter is a white Texan. Though he reveals that he hung out in the black part of his hometown in Texas, such was his fever for the blues. And, Winter maintains that it was his sincerity about his passion for the blues that meant that he was safe there. Even though Beaumont had not long before suffered form some terrible racially-inspired riots.
Winter's blue's sound as if they were recorded in the 1940s or 1950s. Actually, I was surprised...

Advantages: All good songs Disadvantages: No ace of spades or jack the ripper
...Hi Im Vasheesht. You may remeber me from the likes of Iron maiden-best of Beast and slipknot. Im also a big fan of Motorhead also a good band with ace of spades reprisenting how good they are in which that song represents them. Lemmy Kilmisters voice has to go in rock star voices history with is husky gravel voice its so unique. his songs must also go well with those bearded harley davidson motorcycle riders gong in texas in groups. An excellent band. Its my favourite album but why didnt they add just ace of spades and jack the ripper and it would be perfect Just those bits and maybe Lifes a bitch would to fine then you have the perfect motorhead collection. in the greatest hits realleased in 2000 a lot of theses songs werent in it....

The Space Ace Review ofSolo Album: Ace Frehley - Kissby
JAY78
Advantages: Ace Frehley plays most of the instruments. Disadvantages: No trains to Planet Jendell
...Having bought all 4 of the Kiss solo albums Ace Frehley's one stood out from the rest.
It was produced by Ace & Eddie Krammer in 1978 (Eddie Krammer has worked with the legend Jimi Hendrix!)
The first song Rip It Out is brilliant & show's off how good Ace really is,with a cool riff & good solo.
Song 2:Speeding back to my baby is a classic rock song (me & my mate used to sing this one all the time with our air guitars)Ace co wrote this song with his wife Jeanette Frehley.
In parts of this song you could imagine Suzi Quatro playing along with Ace its got that sort of feel to it.
Song 3: Snow Blind is a song where Ace could be talking about his drug problems at the time of his solo project and as the verse of the chorus goes "I think i'm lost out in space".
Song 4: Ozone is another good song wheres parts of it almost sound Egyptian...
