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!

Great show as always, Ed. How many times have you re-did that top 5 since you recorded the show?
Great show with Peter Criss. Thanks for posting the extra videos of the Rate the Rock segment on line. I thought Peter handled the Hall of Fame very well with his comments. He didn’t get into the Gene and Paul bashing and just gave his honest feelings for himself and the fans. The original KISS was my band from the 70’s and I am glad that at least, hopefully, all 4 original members will appear together for the induction. In all honesty, that is probably the best we could ask for. If the original 4 can’t perform together, then none of them should. Have really enjoyed the shows this season. Great job!!! I have been thinking about my 5 favorite KISS songs and have tried to stay away from the obvious hits. I will go with Mr. Speed, Tomorrow and Tonight, Anything For My Baby, Nothin To Lose and Strutter. So many to choose from. I could probably add Room Service as well.
Eddie, a totally different topic. I heard about this over the weekend on the Today show and just looked at it on You Tube. You have to see Brian Johnson come on stage with Billy Joel and perform You Shook Me All Night Long with Billy and his band. Obviously Billy Joel is an AC/DC fan and he invited me up to sing. Pretty cool. Love seeing when artists with different musical tastes get together and perform. Got the opportunity to see AC/DC on the Black Ice tour. Sure hope if they do a 40th anniversary tour that they will come in our area. Also just read where Aerosmith and Slash will tour the U.S. this summer. There is another double bill tour for you!
I’ll check out the clip. Aero and Slash easily my most anticipated tour announced so far
Ed..is Bob Seger doing the Kiss induction ?
No
Inducted by Vinnie Vincent. If he can get a vacation day.
