Kudos to Kiss for doing the right thing.
And Eddie, maybe Paul & Gene would talk to you if you didn’t allow people to post homophobic lies about them (see Kevin Ross comment)
I will find and delete if the case. There are a tremendous amount of comments coming in and that will not be tolerated. However that has nothing to do with why they don’t do my shows..
Ahhh yes, another well-thought-out, cerebral post by a metal/hard rock fan. Once again you perpetuate the stereotype that all metal fans are pot-smoking losers with no credibility. Finish the last of that joint, get some sleep, and try to be early for work at Pep Boys.
This is getting so stupid. I think I’m ready for this band to be over or two new guys come in and replace Gene and Paul. Let’s face it. Paul can’t sing anymore anyway. And the way they have acted since being inducted is ridiculous.
maybe axl rose , peter criss and ace frehley can play together..
While I’m no Gene/Paul apologist, this is actually a well-worded statement. Reading between the lines, there were probably conditions made by multiple sides. So, while Gene and Paul “never refused to play with Ace and Peter,” they probably said it had to be for specific songs, with/without makeup, and/or along side (perhaps literally) Tommy and Eric and perhaps others. Ace and Peter probably refused some of those conditions. Maybe it was as simple as, “The current lineup, which we view as Kiss, will play. You can join if you want.” vs “RRHOF said original four, we’ll share the stage with no one else.”
Gene and Paul also were careful in this statement to praise Ace and Peter and not throw them under the bus. If any of the above is true, then they could have escalated the he-said/she-said war, and they chose not to.
Eddie hit it on the head, though. This is all about business, and they’ve spent decades trying to craft the Kiss brand independent of a forced reunion. This RRHOF thing is a wrench in the works.
Besides, few people would respond well to external calls to reunite with your ex, just because THEY liked you together.
…Too bad that G&P insist on all new members dress and act like those ‘ex’s….screw fake ki$$. I hope A&P DO show up and claim their due. They will get WAY more applause than the fake-Ace and the copy-cat.
