Album information
Spaceman features a reunion of sorts with Frehley's former Kiss bandmate Gene Simmons, who co-wrote and played bass on the opener "Without You I'm Nothing". He also co-wrote "Your Wish Is My Command", which Simmons intended for Kiss to record. Simmons named Spaceman.
"Rockin' With the Boys" was mentioned as a Frehley song title for the upcoming Kiss album (before Music From the Elder) by Kerrang! magazine in 1981. It is not known how, except for the title, his 1981 song relates to the one he recorded for this album.[6]
