Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley thinks Jimmy Page is a sloppy guitarist.
In a new interview with Jeremy White, the rocker revealed he lost millions of dollars after one particular incident. He explained:
“I lost millions and millions of dollars over the years after Tommy [Thayer] took over, but they just gave me the drive to make a better band, make better music. I don’t understand why they never put out a record after 20 years.”
Following the interview, the rocker went on to compare his and Tommy Thayer’s guitar-playing skills.
Calling himself a sloppy guitarist, Frehley named another ‘sloppy’ guitarist — Jimmy Page. He said:
“I was talking to an interviewer the other day, he’s going, ‘I listened to ‘Sonic Boom,’ I mean ‘Monster.” He goes, it’s Tommy Thayer trying to sound like me, which is kind of ridiculous because actually, Tommy’s not a bad guitar player. Technically he may even be a better guitar player than me. See, I’m sloppy. I’ll be the first one to admit it, and people have said it in comments. I’m sloppy, but I have a way about the way I play. I mean, Jimmy Page is sloppy.”
