\nDen Headz, legendary ex-KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has taken his former bandmate Gene Simmons to task for alienating \u201cjust about everybody on the planet\u201d with his recent comments on depression, suicide, alcoholism and poor people.
\n
\nSpeaking to Artisan News Service while promoting his new album \u2018Space Invader,\u2019 Frehley pointed to Simmons recent comments on immigration, poverty and, most notably, the \u201cf\u2014 you, then kill yourself\u201d statement about depression that earned him a sharp rebuke from Nikki Sixx and others. (The Demon has since apologized twice for those statements.)
\n
\n\u201cFirst he attacks immigrants, and then he belittles poor people by saying \u2018be nice to the rich people because we\u2019re the ones that give you jobs,\u2019\u201d Frehley marvels. \u201cThen he attacks people with depression, alcoholics, drug addicts, you know?\u2026 Depression is a very serious disease. I\u2019ve suffered from it in my lifetime, I know my daughter suffers from it \u2026 and Gene just seems to be ignorant of the whole fact. I think it\u2019s time for Gene to go back to school and get educated in the health field.\u201d

\nThe guitarist, who proudly reports that he\u2019s a few weeks short of celebrating his eighth year of sobriety, is clearly hurt by Simmons and founding Kiss frontman Paul Stanley\u2018s handling of his well-documented substance-abuse issues. \u201cPaul and Gene still refer to me as a drunk and a drug addict. And it\u2019s unfortunate because it\u2019s really hitting below the belt.\u201d
\n
\nAfter noting that also he\u2019s still upset about Stanley recently suggesting Frehley engaged in anti-Semitic behavior, Ace shows he can fight dirty too, accusing Simmons of harboring homophobic views: \u201cThe only thing left for him to do is attack the whole gay movement. And I\u2019ve heard him do that in private, so that\u2019s probably still yet to come.\u201d
