On 8. December 1972 Kiss auditioned Ace Frehley at 10 East 23rd Street, above the Live Bait Bar, in New York City.
Ace’s best friend, Bob McAdams, spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in the Village Voice. Bob showed the ad to Ace. Both Bob and Ace went to 10 East 23rd Street above the Live Bait Bar. Frehley, who showed up wearing one red sneaker and one orange sneaker, was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing.
