Original KISS drummer Peter Criss joined frontman Rob Zombie on stage last night (Saturday, May 10th) at 93.3 WMMR MMR*B*Q 2014 at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey to perform a cover of the KISS classic God Of Thunder.
According to blabbermouth.net, Zombie introduced Criss by telling the audience: “Ladies and gentlemen, if you are anything like me, you were very disappointed a little while ago, because I tuned into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and I did not get to see my favorite drummer get behind the motherfucking drums. So tonight, it is our great honor to bring to you the one and only Catman, Mr. Peter Criss.” Watch fan filmed footage below.
Rob Zombie has just completed a short 12-stop tour and will next head over to Europe for a run of festival dates beginning with the Sweden Rock Festival on June 5th.
Zombie is promoting the upcoming release of his first-ever concert Blu-ray/DVD, The Zombie Horror Picture Show, which will be released on May 19th.

Kiss needed to go on with out peter …kiss is bigger then it’s members and at one point kiss will go on without me.. Besides peter is all sizzle not very much steak..
You are hilarious…
Why don’t you consider becoming a standup comedian and try your material in front of a live audience–good luck.
All my comments are stupid…I like to criticize everyone just like a women ….
My 2 cents…
I don’t think Rob’s drummer was there to hold Peter up…to me more of a jam session.
Funny how Paul in the Reunion tapes said Peter worked the hardest in their sessions and we know how injured Peter was during some of the Reunion Tour.
Not saying Peter is the best drummer etc. etc. but some balance would be appreciated.
Ever hear Paul’s guitar solos? Dreadful – and he thinks he is the second coming of Eddie Van Halen.
If you took the best out of all of Peter’s solo work – you would have a good record…a lot of his stuff has been hit or miss (mostly miss -especially his last outing – painful to listen to). That said, love Peter’s voice and if he has good material – I would be interested in listening.
THANK GOD! Original KISS did not perform at the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. Jane Wenner and Co would have loved to see KISS suck so bad.Peter is Horrible. Kinda Sad!
How is he bad?
If Gene Simmons is so mean to Peter, why do Gene’s signature song? Can Peter still sing? BLACK DIAMOND is a great song and could’ve had Zombie to sing the intro. Peter has no leverage in that his best song were written by Paul Stanley. BETH is his song but I guess that wouldn’t fit in a R. Zombie set list. BABY DRIVER is perhaps the worst song on any KISS album ever. Peter it is time to hang it up. You’ve used up your nine lives and you only have sentimental value to KISS fans who would like to be younger and remember discovering KISS for the first time ever. Eric Singer is KISSes drummer ’cause he is the best choice.
Paul wrote God Of Thunder, and if you had any clue on history you would know that Rob Zombie picked and covered the song! You would also know it was a feature song for Peter because his solo was in it!
No need to get testy. How long is the drum solo in that song? 10 seconds. It is probably the best song sung by Gene in the pre-Tommy/Eric era. You people need to stop defending these guys. There will be no reverse aging for the rest of us if Ace and Peter rejoin KISS. That ship sailed 35+ years ago. Get over it. The current KISS line-up is good enough to reach the finish line and that’s how it should be. Peter wrote a pretty good rock bio last year and he can hang his hat on that. I am curious to know if Peter can still sing because he sang great back in the day. Drummers are being phased out by computers these days anyway. An IPAD with a cat mask can be the new drummer and Peter can sing GOT TO CHOOSE.
Don’t knock Trunk’s pal. He may start to cry.
Milkman!! Your a D****BAG!!! You don’t know what the fuck your talking about man! So how old are you? You have a problem with people aging? Don’t fucking kid yourself. Peter is a very good drummer still. He’s playing as an invited player and Im sure not gonna try and show up Zombies drummer. He respectful and professional. Have you heard Paul sing live lately?? Amazing how you Gene and Paul fans forget the flaws that they have. Drum solo on GOT is way longer than 10 seconds. Don’t insult Eddie or real KISS fans on this site you idiot!!
I think the current line up sings and plays all the songs better. Eric is much better then Peter.
Also tommy is better at playing the space man. He has better moves and sounds better. Kiss made a good choice
Hit it on the head Ed Kiss Alive Ii and even though it’s a persona Catman= Peter Criss
LMFAO
Eric Singer is playing Peter Criss because Paul And Gene pay him. He is a paid Stooge and nothing else. Oh yeah, he hits the drums like a 12 year old girl in a marshmallow factory.
this drummer’s opinion: i realize pete’s playing is not what it was during his best years in kiss (74-77), but he was fine. it wasn’t a train wreck. i enjoyed watching this clip just to see pete playing live. it didn’t help that rob z’s drummer was literally behind pete, so no chance for eye contact between the drummers. pete never will be the drummer that eric singer is or eric carr was. that being said, his drumming was an integral part of the original lineup’s sound. he peaked in ’77 (see budokan ’77 on kissology 1? then he f-ed the band and himself up and he’s admitted it. in 2014, i’d rather see pete play one song than a copycat playing 20.
