Frehley, Ace - Emerald Lyrics






Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords

To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again

From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die

Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave

Frehley, Ace Emerald Comments
  1. G.... B....

    This is fine until you get to the solos which are an absolute mess. Gorham and Robertson complimented each other making full use of the twin leads, Slash and Ace just sound like they are trying to outdo each other. The Live and Dangerous version is where its at

    G.... B....

    Agreed solos sound like a half ass tangled mess

  2. R.... M....

    Tommy who?

  3. D.... H....

    Love this song !

  4. J.... B....

    Sounds like Ace is reading a lyric sheet, which I'm sure he was. And the mix is pretty bad. Nice leads by Ace and Slash but Lizzy's version smokes this.

    J.... B....

    I don't think the mix is bad at all. He mixed the guitar hot through the entire album but thats what I like to hear with Ace

  5. D.... B....

    Love the Celtic sound. Perfect ACE and slash. You have to play together more often.

  6. T.... F....

    Garbage. Go listen to Lizzy this sounds like the vocal is in slow motion and the guitars are brick walled to hell. It’s just bad.

  7. c.... d....

    great version. Ace even sounds like Phil Lynott s Dublin accent.

  8. C.... W....

    Ace has been so incredibly underrated for way too long...,perhaps Gene and Paul should have listened to Ace when Ace made a suggestion

  9. j.... ....

    Great tribute from Ace. Without direspecting the original, he added his own flavour. I have read a lot of jackasses commenting his technique. Well, and i say the bollocks with fucking technique. This is rock n roll, if you want technique listen to von Karayan or get your kicks with metal bores like Malmsteen and the such.

  10. F.... V....

    after spaceman, origins vol. 2!!!!!!

  11. F.... F....

    I´m a HUGE Lizzy fan but I have to say this is BRILLIANT! Ace, you rule sir!

  12. M.... G....

    It's okay I guess. Definitely Ace Frehley

  13. E.... ....

    Ace does an album with just covers and blows Monster and Sonic Boom out of the water....

  14. G.... ....

    Starting at 2:18 Fantastic guitar work.

  15. P.... M....

    Hats off to the spaceman and slash

  16. K.... K....

    Goodbye Sonic Bullshit!

  17. C.... D....

    ACE IS DA MAN...

  18. M.... S....

    HEY LOOK! IT'S ROCK N ROLL!!!

  19. Y.... T....

    Love the solo trades.... Slash rips the shit out of it.

  20. f.... w....

    love this song. just rocks! great guitar tones! !😊

  21. J.... R....

    great version.
    I do prefer Phil's voice, it's more intimate and warm, and he's a very good story teller, but there ain't nothing wrong with what Ace did.
    I love the fact that he does not stagnate.
    He shows new things with every recording, with flashes of the past thrown in here and there.
    You just want to root for the guy, and see him do well.
    The whole album is fresh and exciting! You just want to hear more!
    The biggest difference between Tommy, and Ace, is that Ace was the innovator, the inventor, and continues to try different things, and evolve as a player, while Tommy tries to sound like Ace 40-45 years ago, with nothing new thrown in.....he's stuck in a rut...
    I just hope the rumors of his financial woes are just that , because he deserves better.
    Always rooting for you spaceman......

    J.... R....

    I agree that Phil's voice is better; however, in Ace's defense, he always claimed to be shy of his own singing ability, and said that's why he didn't write many songs for KISS. I'll bet Peter Criss could contribute his voice to this, but it still wouldn't be as good as Phil!

  22. M.... C....

    por alguna razón Tomy aún no es de mi agrado..escucho a Kiss hace 20 años.ace debe volver ya.para una gira despedida porque Paul 2017 ya no puede cantar..

  23. s.... m....

    Have to have this album
    Hendricks, Thin Lizzy, Cream,
    and he rocks them all!!!

    He Ace'd them...

  24. M.... ....

    The Utimate Best Forever Will Be As Well !!!!!

  25. J.... C....

    Mr. Ace Frehley   Fk kicks Ass You Rule Space Ace !!

  26. S.... S....

    Brent was right.

  27. h.... ....

    Ok cover, but the solos are weird. As if they were trying to outdo each other in front of a crowd of impressionable prebubescent nerdsm instead of chruning out good, melodic solos that actaully fit the song. The repeated chorus at the end is also too much.

    h.... ....

    I felt like neither of the guitarists did their best. The solos you heard are all played live. They were constructed spontaneously and usually aren't as good as studio. Ace was a bit sloppy here; Slash's tone waa a bit cliche. Generally good collaboration nonetheless

  28. C.... T....

    Im gonna try to see Ace (el chueco)in "mi Buenos Aires querido.."
    there are 3gigs to come in diffrent venues..
    I hope he will be alright,and in a good mood for Rockin in Argentina!!!
    (plis,play for me BACK TO SCHOOL!!!)

  29. R.... D....

    Damn, I haven't bought an album in a LONG time, but I think I'm gonna have to go out and buy this one!

  30. a.... ....

    If there was someway to put Phil's vocals on this version it would be perfect

  31. J.... ....

    Nothing compares to Lizzy, but Ace pays a great tribute!

  32. B.... H....

    I love the thin Lizzy version but this is as close to perfect as it gets

  33. J.... K....

    Great rendition! I'd be curious to hear Ace and Scott Gorham collaborate on a record

  34. K.... ....

    Great solos between Slash and Ace. I think it's a good cover. And I'm also a big Thin Lizzy fan.

  35. J.... R....

    I love that Ace covered this song. One of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs and Ace's version kicks just as much ass.

  36. P.... D....

    Fuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

  37. C.... C....

    One of the best covers ever!

    C.... C....

    Chris Clark fuck yes!

  38. D.... S....

    The best...

  39. J.... J....

    The spaceman truly f::king rips!!!!!!!!!!

  40. J.... S....

    Good overall sound,Fits his style perfect, I can here two totally different guitarist. Thanks Slash for kickin ass

  41. A.... A....

    nice cover. Ace nailed it. I still prefer the original Thin Lizzy version but this one rocks

  42. M.... D....

    Fuckin yeah buddy!!!!

  43. C.... S....

    Awesome cover of a classic :) Ace WAS Kiss...pure and simple!

  44. K.... B....

    Love Ace - Love Thin Lizzy and Love Mastodon's
    version of Emerald...

  45. R.... ....

    yes fuck you haters!

  46. R.... ....

    As a Thin Lizzy fan since the 70s, I tip my hat to the spaceman.

  47. G.... H....

    Ace fucking kills it on this album

  48. B.... R....

    Ace 1, Angus 2 and then the rest that is how who influenced me goes

  49. B.... R....

    and know Rock -n- Roll is my religion

  50. B.... R....

    Ace, probably the single most influence on me as guitarist, or sure there is Dave, Eddie, Neil, Slash, Mick, Jimi and a host of other guitarist that have influenced me but Ace is at the top, just throw my 2 cents in on Kiss they were able to deliver but for me it was always Peter and Ace

  51. p.... f....

    what a solo.....spits and moans

  52. M.... S....

    This is a really good cover.

  53. D.... D....

    woah thats nasty

  54. B.... ....

    Happy belated bday Ace.   you did it again, another kick ass cd.hoping for origins 2 .Tommy Thayer ,how do you look at yourself in a mirror? lmao.

  55. F.... C....

    love it

  56. k.... ....

    great song, glad to see Lizzy get some love

  57. R.... G....

    HOLY.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is above great Fuck man you just made one of the best rocksong in my mind CRAZZYYYY FUCKIN AWESOME. You blew me away man with this!!!!

  58. T.... H....

    slash also played with ace in this song

  59. J.... N....

    What a great cover. Damn that's rockin.

  60. 7.... ....

    1. The band is absolutely terrible. Drumming sux out loud. 2. Ok this adds nothing to the original Thin Lizzy recording - sort of pointless to do. Doing it live would be one thing, putting out a tribute ..... not so much. 3. He needs to be writing NEW, strong material like Parasite.

  61. T.... K....

    seen him in Danville Va. at the Carrington pavilion Awesome Ace you still the man love ya!

  62. B.... F....

    Why the hell do KISS fans whine that Ace is no longer in KISS? I mean, listen to this material--it far outweighs any of that uninspired crap KISS is dishing out in recent years. Ace pretty much does a set of KISS hits in his setlist anyways, and the bonus is we don't have to look at that plastic-faced Paul struggling to walk, jump or sing. So, it works out in Ace fans favor.

    B.... F....

    you are crazy. starchild is kiss. haters may see themselves to the door!

    B.... F....

    Bruce Forrest Ace evolved, get over it circus lovers.

    B.... F....

    Paul was always one of my favorite front men, but he blew out his voice years ago...... time to hang them up.....
    As much as we'd love to see him go on and on, time wreaks havoc as we grow old.
    One of the saddest things I ever witnessed was Chuck Berry playing live about 2 or 3 years ago in St.Louis. The mind was willing, but the body wasn't.
    Actually the mind was also slipping, as he kept forgetting which song they were doing, and had to have sheets of paper on the floor with lyrics, and which keys the songs were in.
    It's better to bow out gracefully, with some dignity, than go on being a mere shadow of your former glory.
    No amount of money is worth that.
    I do wish Paul the best too..."what a drag it is getting old"

  63. R.... b....

    This song is sooo good! :'D

  64. A.... F....

    i saw ace a week ago in danville, va. this was a great addition to the set list. Ace also played Strange ways live, got my fingers crossed that will be on Vol. 2

  65. b.... ....

    Ace- Raw , but a class act...

  66. A.... H....

    Ace Frehley and Slash, playing together and playing awesome guitar solos on a truly electric version of one of the most underrated Thin Lizzy songs ever? I'd just like to say thank you God

  67. D.... S....

    I Like Fire n Water - but this Is by far the best song ..... Killer Tone and just Guitar Paradise - Orgasmic even \m/

  68. R.... K....

    AWESOME!!~!~~~~~~~
