In the fall 2009 issue of JQ magazine (JETAANY Quarterly), Justin Tedaldi interviewed Ace Frehley about his new long awaited album Anomaly as well as his relationship with japan – then and now.
Here’s a very short take-out from that interview, which can be read in its full length in the Fall 2009 Vol. 18 Issue 4:
JQ: I have a question about “Genghis Khan.” You’ve listed it as your favorite track from Anomaly. What’s the origin of the song, and why do you like it so much?
Ace: It was a song that was written on acoustic guitar, but it took a while to get together due to all the different parts in the song, using different instruments in various spots. Thanks to Pro Tools, we were able to add a lot of parts to the song, and editing it together was easier. Marti Frederiksen and Anthony Fox did a brilliant job with the mix, and I’m very pleased with the end results.
JQ: Is that a song you wanted to go into making it ambitious or did it just evolve that way?
ACE: I knew it was a special song when I wrote it. The vibe was there right away. And I thought that Anton Fig did an amazing drum track to it. He has a way of carrying just behind the beat with his playing, which I always liked.
