"Rocket Ride" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss originally featured on their 1977 album Alive II. A studio recording written by Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley and Sean Delaney, it was the second Kiss single to feature Frehley on lead vocals, and peaked at #39 on the American Billboard Hot 100,[1] making it the band's seventh US Top 40 hit.
"Rocket Ride" proved to be the only studio track of the five recorded for Alive II that Frehley would perform on, as Bob Kulick was brought in to perform on some of the other tracks. Ace noted in the booklet for the Kiss Box Set, released in 2001, that this was the first vocal performance that he was satisfied with.
Hide sampled the intro for his 1998 single "Rocket Dive", the title also being an homage to the song. Ace Frehley's 2008 tour, The Rocket Ride Tour (in support of his album, Anomaly) is named after this song.
