Frehley's Comet was an American rock band formed and led by ex-Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley. The group released two studio albums and one live EP before Frehley left the band to release his 1989 solo album, Trouble Walkin'.

Background

Before forming a band for his post-KISS career, Frehley had previously done a solo album in 1978 which was the most successful of the Kiss solo albums and laid the groundwork for Frehley's solo career. Frehley left Kiss in 1982, but retained a one quarter share in Kiss and could not release any solo projects until 1985 without losing that share. During this time Ace put together a band for his solo work, the original lineup consisted of Richie Scarlet on guitar, John Regan on bass, and Anton Fig on drums. However, before they made their initial record, Scarlet was replaced by Tod Howarth who played guitar and keyboards. Frehley's Comet was supposed to simply be the title of Ace Frehley's next solo album, but Ace decided to use that as the name of the band rather than release the record as a solo artist. For the second album, Second Sighting, Fig was replaced on drums by veteran Eric Clapton Band member Jamie Oldaker. Two studio albums and one live album were released under the "Frehley's Comet" moniker. (The live album, Live+1 featured four songs performed live in concert and one original studio song.)

In 1989, for Trouble Walkin' his third studio release, Frehley Dropped the Frehley's Comet name and put out a pure "Ace Frehley" solo album. Tod Howarth was replaced by a returning Richie Scarlet, and Jamie Oldaker by ex-Riot drummer Sandy Slavin (although Anton Fig and Ex-Kiss Drummer Peter Criss did perform some of the percussion work on the album.) The album featured numerous guest vocalists including Criss and Sebastian Bach. The band continued until 1995, with Richie Scarlet remaining throughout, and John Regan departing in 1992. Ace Frehley put his solo career on hold to rejoin KISS in 1996. He has since resumed his solo career with Richie Scarlet back in his touring band. The band played a reunions shows in 2017 and 2018 with Ace Frehley, Tod Howarth, John Regan and Anton Fig all together.
