Kiss does the second “Hotter Than Hell” photo session

On August 25. 1974, the second “Hotter Than Hell” photo session took place at The Stage, Hollywood, California, with photographer Norman Seeff.

Ace Frehley:
“For one photo session we did for the “Hotter Than Hell” album, this doctor told me I could only put makeup on half of my face. So all the shots were profiles [laughs]. I got into a car accident. Something pissed me off. I got drunk one night and I kept driving around the Hollywood Hills. I kept going around the same block faster and faster [laughs] until I lost control and hit a telephone pole. I think I was just testing destiny. I got out of the car and I had cut my head. I walked back down to the hotel and I knocked on my road manager’s door and there’s blood running all down my face. He said, “Oh God, what happened to you?” I go, “I wrecked a car.” One of many [laughs], it was like the beginning of the saga.”
