3/19: PETER CRISS ON TMS THIS SATURDAY, A RECAP.
Had a great hour episode of TMS with Peter Criss yesterday that will premiere this Saturday on VH1 Classic. We discussed many things and of course got Peter’s take on the HOF. Always good to see Peter who is still clearly excited about being inducted with the band he was a founding member of in a few weeks. When I asked him about not playing his response was; “it’s a shame we couldn’t give the fans 10 minutes on stage together for the 40 years they gave us”. See it all this Saturday night on Wayne’s World… I mean That Metal Show. VH1 Classic’s longest running program and a show so many Kiss fans love and watch! Thank you all for your support and hope you like this one. Also thanks to Richard Christy for playing in the episode. He is a huge Peter Criss fan and was pumped! More soon.
PS: Ace Frehley will be on the show again soon. He had to reschedule since he is now on the W Coast and could not break free from a deadline on his new album.
Can’t wait until all of this is over with….
Easiest thing would have been to do a few songs no make-up maybe 1 or 2 with Ace/Peter and then allow Tommy/Eric/Bruce to join for a jam like they did at MTV Unplugged (Nothing to Lose from that session was just good rock n roll) . If anything it would show first and foremost the music did matter.
Just celebrate the music and the history and the contributions of all.
Too much water under the bridge, too many tell-all books (and one coming) out there for it to be reasonable to expect any of that at this point.
I am starting to think that putting the makeup back on, or having the makeup on in the first place is where the problem lies in my opinion. I really think it is the spectacle that is Kiss, and not necessarily the music that justifies Kiss being considered for the HOF in the first place. I know that is somewhat irrelevant at this point considering they are being inducted, but all of this nonsense regarding the HOF is past the point of childish. If Gene and Paul have such an issue with the HOF, they should just stay at home on induction night. I personally would enjoy having Gene and Paul send a letter to the HOF like the Sex Pistols or Axel Rose did.
Looking forward to this week’s show. Love TMS.
Eddie, Thanks for keeping it real
THanks for using horrific cliches – “keeping it real” ? Ughhhh
