Original KISS drummer Peter Criss has released the following statement about the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame induction:
“To KISS fans,
It’s disappointing to have to say to you, the fans, that as of today, Ace and I have been denied a performance with Gene and Paul for our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Tickets go on sale on Monday, February 24th, and I wanted to make sure that fans understood that no original performance, in or out of makeup, has been offered to us before they purchased their tickets. This is disgraceful and I feel bad for the fans who were looking forward to the four of us being inducted together.
God Bless,
Peter Criss – The Catman”

Kiss Cruise: as bad as c-list strippers, off hour trailer park escorts Gene Poloroided. Hey Gene, put yer wig on and get the Broadway show on tour.
There is no back peddling on this one. Even if the 4 do manage to play, all of the negativity this has brought has damaged the group beyond repair. I do feel bad for tommy and eric but I don’t think they have anything to do or say in the matter- remember back when Eric Carr wanted to play on one of Ace’s albums and he had to call and tell him sorry, I can’t do it, Gene won’t let me. That speaks volumes. Kiss Fans remember EVERYTHING, this is not a small thing- this is a HUGE thing and WILL be remembered. They could go out and play a great show and this nonsense will still overshadow it.
Lets see how much of their merch moves now, and how many people are selling off their collections. I just hope I can get rid of my shit before its completely worthless. OVERBRANDING can be hazardous. Paul may want to cancel the book signings- there may be a large bonfire outside LOL
Look they are living nice lives off the fans. Way to go….And all the people who think they couldn’t pull off a couple of songs without rehearsal are non-musicians obviously. They played that stuff for so long that 1 sit down or just giving the tracks a listen would be good enough to pull it off. You don’t forget after playing the same shit night after night for 10 years. Their shows have become overbearing with the gargantuan stage shows – that’s all it is now, a Broadway Show- Kiss the Musical. Now they might as well pack it in. Gene and Paul look like fools and Tommy and Eric are stuck in the middle pretending to be the Catman and the Spaceman. Ace and Peter are still sucking up the insults….Gimme a break
See what i mean another decade of poor picked on peewee criss
paul and gene NEVER SAID they wouldnt jam with them .BUT NOW U KNOW WHY THE DECLINED TO PLAY AT ALL .THANKS AGAIN PETED AND ACE FOR SCREWING US OVER AGAIN
Really? Paul and Gene never said they wouldn’t play with them? You know that?? How about this:

There u go again pandering to the two who havnt been in the band in over a decade .like i said nope didnt say no till peewee and ace decided it was all about them .30 yrs happy and succesful without them
when is eddie gonna realize WHO actuall started this band
if peter and ace cared soooo much why sell your makeup rights
They left us AGAIN !! so why care when they didnt
Seems you have a bias the opposite way. I assume you know all the facts about exactly what happened right? You were in the meetings with the managers and agents when the deals went down? Please continue to educate everyone because you seem to know all from the inside. Unless YOU are just spitting out the side of it you have been sold and buy hook line and sinker? But someone with a handle “kissnut91” wouldn’t ever look at anything objective now would they?…
I mean CMON u and both know that the minute the annoucement was made ace and peewe immediatley called their lawyers making all kindsa demands just like BEFORE AGAIN ! And gene and paul said FUUGETABOUTIT !!! Been there done that
Demands? For what?? Nobody gets paid! MAN you really have bought into everything the other side has sold you?! Scary..
