3/23: PETER CRISS RECAP FROM THAT METAL SHOW PREMIERE
Amazing response to last nights premiere of the Peter Criss episode of That Metal Show. I was live tweeting last night with many while it was on. The end was real emotional it seemed not only for Peter but also for many fans. Peter is a guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve, and I always respected him for that. He always just lays it out there as he feels and that is so rare in today’s world. I love giving people that you don’t usually hear from on TV and radio a voice and platform. It is so great to get differing views and stories. Mick Mars this season also comes to mind as falling in this category and also had tremendous response. The episode with Peter ran very long, so due to time constraints of TV we cut some things, but they are now available online. Links in the News section of this site. The episode replays all week on VH1 Classic and online as well. Just check your grids for days and times. Look forward to seeing all your comments to the episode here. Many have posted here and on Twitter already. Thanks to Peter and also drummer Richard Christy for doing a great job in our latest episode. Was a great one!
PS: Be sure to watch all the way through the credits. There is a shot of me and Peter when we first met from around ’82 at the very end of the show. Great memories!
Ed have you heard anything about ticket sales since kiss not playing?
No, but remember while we are focused on Kiss, there are MANY other bands playing that night too
Tickets are sold out and have been for a while.
Hey guys – has it been confirmed yet as to who the celebrity KISS fan inducting the band into the HOF will be??? I had heard it was to be Lady Gaga or Elton John? I think I read in the comments in one of Ed’s Trunk Reports that Gaga was a false rumor…still curious. Thx!
It is not her. Should be announced soon but it is a male musician and not someone you would think of
Is it Garth Brooks inducting them?
While Peter and Ace continue to take the high road Gene and Paul keep making asses of themselves with the stuff they write on twitter every day. Gene blatantly disrespecting the fans who made him a multi millionaire on a regular basis. Peter and Ace should do a few shows together and show those clowns they still have it. They should also play in the jam at the end of the RRHOF ceremony, they can’t stop them from doing that can they???
Hey Eddie thanks for hosting by far the best show on TV hd or not! I’m just wondering if you or anyone has heard Eric Singer or Tommy Thayer’s thoughts on all of this? I’m not a fan of today’s Kiss line-up at all but it’s got to be an uncomfortable situation for them. I’m sure as Paul & Gene’s bitches they are sworn to secrecy or something. Here’s to Ace the REAL spaceman & Peter the REAL catman always & forever!
What a GREAT show with Peter and Richard. I will never be able to put it into words how much I love TMS, last night my girlfriend and I watched it twice in a row. Eddie, will TMS ever be on DVD? Also we met Peter (and Gigi) at Days of the Dead and he was the most gracious, kind and loving celebrity we’ve ever met and we’ve been attendees and vendors for fifteen years, I do NOT exagerate or embelish. All weekend long fans were coming out of Peters meet and greet area shellshocked, some fans had tears in their eyes. Peter spent time with everyone and seemed genuine. He didnt ever come off as grouchy or tired. Gigi was just as nice, even hugging my girlfreind and I the next day in the lobby. In all fairness, we met Gene in a comedy club here in St.Louis and he was just as nice! Thank you Eddie and all of the staff at TMS!!!!!!! Thank you Don and Jim and Peter!!! Love you guys!! Jim… see you at the Funnybone STL!!!!
