By the end of March of 2010, Youth was confirmed as the permanent touring guitarist with ex-Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. Youth stated that Ace didn't require rehearsal before performing in concert, quoting Ace as saying, "Eh, you know the songs, right?" Youth fit in well with Ace's band and often took center stage to sing the classic Kiss song, "Flaming Youth." He was also featured with the rest of the band in the photos section of Frehley's book, "No Regrets". Youth worked with Frehley for roughly four years.
