Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley admitted in a recent interview with Eddie Trunk that he wishes Creatures of the Night had been his final album with the band, instead of Music from "The Elder".
"I thought Creatures was a good record," Frehley said. "It was really the record that I would have enjoyed recording instead of Elder. Because during the recording of Elder, I kept telling Paul [Stanley] and Gene and Bob Ezrin that this is the wrong record at the wrong time."
"We should be doing a heavier hard rock record," Frehley continued. "That's what the fans want, that's what the fans expect. Everybody just put a deaf ear to me, and we all know what happened and how the Elder was received."
Frehley recorded his take on the song "Rock and Roll Hell," which appeared on Creatures of the Night, for his cover album Origins Vol. 1.
