In 1989, for Trouble Walkin’, his third studio release (produced by Eddie Kramer), Frehley dropped the Frehley’s Comet name. The name change was partially due to concert promoters referring to the band as “Ace Frehley’s Comet”. Tod Howarth was replaced by a returning Richie Scarlet, and Jamie Oldaker by ex- Riot drummer Sandy Slavin (although Anton Fig and ex-Kiss Drummer Peter Criss did perform some of the percussion work on the album). According to Frehley, he offered then Kiss drummer Eric Carr a chance to be on a song. However, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons dissuaded Carr from doing so. The album featured numerous guest vocalists including Peter Criss and Sebastian Bach . The tour ended and the band dissolved after John Regan resigned with immediate effect after a show in Las Vegas on April 11, 1990. Frehley did not perform live in any form until July 1992.
