Ace Frehley w swojej książce "No Regrets" o ceremonii VH1 Rock Honors :
"A few weeks after my mother’s death, I got the news that KISS was being honored by VH1 as part of the network’s first Rock Honors award show in Las Vegas [...] So I agreed and booked a flight to L.A. and started rehearsals with Slash, Gilby Clarke, Scott Ian, and Tommy Lee. We rehearsed a couple of days and then jumped on a private jet and were flown to Las Vegas by VH1."
"The truth, though, is that I started feeling ill about the whole production and how my contribution to KISS was again being minimized. I’d been sober for some time, but before the show I started feeling even more anxious, and when Slash offered me a drink backstage, I just couldn’t say no. I didn’t want to feel my emotions anymore and was still very upset about my mother’s passing. Rob Zombie joined us on lead vocals, and together we performed a kick-ass version of “God of Thunder.” Right before the show I suggested to Slash we throw in the riff from Led Zeppelin’s “Bring It on Home” between our guitar solos, and he agreed. It blew my mind that we pulled it off flawlessly, in harmony, without any prior rehearsal. That was a rush!"
"I went back to my hotel suite knowing I had lost my sobriety, and even though I wanted to blame KISS or my mom’s passing away, I knew deep in my soul it was my own fault. Later I heard from Slash, who apologized for handing me my first drink. He was feeling somewhat guilty, since he had also struggled with addiction, but I assured him that I was planning on getting fucked up anyway, and if it hadn’t been him, it would have been someone else."
