Steve Brown discussed the reception of Ace Frehley’s ‘10,000 Volts’ album in a recent interview with Talkin’ Bout Rock.
“Ace and I were both blown away by it [the response to ‘10,000 Volts’ album],” Brown said. “Of course it wasn’t without some controversy. I think we all underestimated the pandemonium of the KISS fans and the KISS army, if you will.”
“We live in this clickbait world where guys in podcasts or whatever, you give them an interview and then all of a sudden they decide to turn on you for some reason and put out clickbait stuff,” he continued. “It’s sadly the world we live in, and whether it’s music, any sort of entertainment, sports, politics. It needs to be policed.”
“But long story short, Ace and I made a great record and I’m just so proud of it,” Brown added. “I mean, for me, it was a dream come true to work with one of my heroes.”
