Famous Lost Words

1103 - Rush, Ace Frehley of KISS (1951-2025)


Listen Later

          Did you know that the original name of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was “Starlight” or “Dark Side Of The Moon” by Pink Floyd was going to be called “Eclipse”.  Christopher and Tom start the show with a chat about the original titles of great albums – from the very good… to the very dumb.

          With the recent announcement of the new Rush tour with a new drummer, we thought we’d present a really great collection of clips from the Famous Lost Words archives.  They are mostly with Geddy Lee and Neil Peart in the early ‘80s talking about the first nine Rush albums.  Plus, we have a bonus clip of Christopher in conversation with Geddy in 1987 – today’s show is a must for any Rush fan.

And we’ll close out the show with a tribute to KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley.  After Ace’s passing, Tom reached out to Brent Jensen of the podcast No Sleep Til Sudbury, who was as much of an Ace Frehley fan as Tom is.  We’ll talk about Ace’s enormous influence on other rock stars and fans – and we’ll listen to three clips of Ace from the archives.  This segment was a real labour of love for Brent and Tom – a couple of devoted KISS fans going way back.
