Seems that Ace Frehley is booked to perform a special concert after a game by the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team .... and the team promotes the show by hanging a huge banner outside their arena with a pic of TOMMY THAYER (in "Spaceman" makeup) on it. Ouch.

Wrong 'Spaceman' Used On Banner Promoting ACE FREHLEY's Performance In Tampa - Feb. 26, 2011

Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley will conclude the Lightning Concert Series presented by Volkswagen with a show after the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Ottawa Senators game on Friday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held outdoors on the West Plaza stage immediately following the game.

According to KissAsylum.com, a banner advertising Frehley's post-game performance features a photo of Tommy Thayer — not Ace — as the "Spaceman." Check out the banner below.

If I were Ace, I'd be UBER-pissed. Haha.

That's bad. No respect for the true Space Ace.

I hope he doesn't go back into hiding for another 10 years.

Even sadder is that Gene will be even more pissed than Ace, as he owns the rights to the spaceman make-up, and I bet they didn't ask his permission to use it!

I think the article sez that Ace's appearance isn't till mid-March, Manny. You might still have a chance, assuming he doesn't can the gig after this debacle.

I hope he can have a sense of humor about it, it's an honest mistake.

He'll play, all the crap the man has been through over the years. He should just grin and bear it. If ya really need to know what Ace is gonna do ? Ask Eddie Trunk.

That's the first thing I thought too. Using anyhting KISS-related without Gene's permission is a big no-no. Unless, of course, the promoters asked and Gene said, "Sure, use this photo for all promos. Oh and if you see Ace, give him this for me... As Ace Frehley would say... "ACK!" 499945
