Gene and Paul knew they wouldn’t sell shit for tickets without Peter and Ace. Safe answer from the Dynamic Duo.
thanks ace and eddie…. you just saved me a lot of money … my wife was going to get me tickets for my 50th birthday that same week .Ill save that money foe aces new album and hopefully a tour…gene and paul will get no more of my hard earned money….bad time for paul to releash his book .. as a kiss fan for 40 years im not buying it..
Ace has NO credibility. He sounds high all the time. Trunk asks him, “Where are you” and Ace answers, “Las Vegas” and then start cracking up. Why the f–k is that so funny? Where is the humor? I do not believe that he’s been clean for several years… that’s BS.
Pretty sad you can judge somebody’s sobriety from a phone call that you don’t know. The guy has been sober over seven years, but that’s not a good thing for those that love to see someone fall..
Put your name out there if your gonna make idiotic statements coward!
First off, I don’t believe that Ace is sober. When Trunk asked where he was, Ace said that he was in Las Vegas, then started laughing hysterically. WTF? Why is that funny? The man is a burn-out with NO credibility.
Ace is working at a recording studio in Vegas and if you know anything about him he has a strange sense of humor. If you don’t think he’s sober you haven’t heard him drunk..
Why on earth are HOF only inducting the original members? That is the real question here. Why will they not recognize Eric Carr, Bruce Culick, Mark St. John, Vinnie Vinsent, Eric Singer and Tommy Theyer? These guys have been huge parts of Kiss. Some of them have been in the band longer than the original members. Kiss is not only the original members, far from it. I also have fond memories of the original group. It is the original Kiss. It is a lot of nostalgic feelings and memories about that group. But it’s not the complete story. They were great. And the key word is WERE.. Ace and Peter had their chance and they blew it, twice… It’s no thanks to them that the group is still playing.
i totally see why Paul is not playing with only Peter an Ace if Eric and Tommy is not invited. They can’t push Eric and Tommy out the door again like they did with Eric and Bruce. i totally understand that. Ok, maybe one single song would work. But how would they do that? would we have two cat-men and two space-men in full gear? That would be weired, would it not?
I don’t understand why so many Kiss fans are angry with Paul and Gene over this. If anything, we should be angry with HOF for not recognizing Kiss, but only the original members. i would also love to see some sort of reunion. But it would have to be on the terms of the current line-up.
