Scott Coogan is getting a lot of attention after a recent Facebook post about not wanting to use Ace Frehley’s name or reputation for personal gain. The post was heartfelt and quickly earned him a wave of goodwill from fans--Stevie Rachelle and Metal Sludge carried a story about it. Here it is:

But just hours later, things took a turn.
An eBay listing surfaced showing Coogan selling his Ace Frehley drum kit for $5,000 — and that’s when the conversation shifted. Metal Sludge again picked up the story and called out what some are seeing as a contradiction between the message and the action. Here's the second Sludge story:

So what’s really going on here?
In this video, I break down:
The Metal Sludge stories and Scott's intial claim
The eBay listing and details of the drum kit sale
Whether this is truly hypocrisy… or being blown out of proportion
Let me know your thoughts in the comments — is this a bad look, or much ado about nothing?
