The Pulse Of Radio reports that Stone Sout/Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has commented on the KISS/Rock N’ Roll Hall of fame controversy.
According to blabbermouth, Corey told Radio.com, “On one hand, you’re stoked being a KISS fan, but on the other hand it’s, like, ‘Can you guys just put aside your petty issues and realize that without one another you wouldn’t have been able to do this? Can you just set stuff aside and do one show for the fans of the original lineup again? And then you never have to see each other again?'”
Taylor continued, “Without (Frehley and Criss), the other two guys wouldn’t be where they are! And that’s just me layin’ it straight! I might not ever get a kind word from anybody in that band anymore. But I think it’s petty and I think it’s ridiculous! Figure it out! Show respect, because sometimes it’s not about you, it’s about the fans.”
But Taylor admitted that band relationships can be complicated. He said, “We’re just crazy people who can’t get along sometimes… Now add fame and money and all that rock and roll craziness to it — we’re lucky we don’t eat each other in this industry!”
KISS will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 10th at a ceremony at the Barclay’s center in Brooklyn, New York, alongside Nirvana and others.

Ace and Peter suck these days. Ace can barely play and Peter hits as hard as hitting paper plates. And Gene and Paul both sing like shit now.Time to pack it in. KISS should have broken up in 1982.
Corey is right put the crap aside the rock hall of fame said inducting the original 4 of Kiss. Us Slipknot fans aren’t too happy with Joey not being in the knot. Slipknot seem to go with their plans new album and Knotfest Japan.
THIS IS WHAT IV BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS I WAS TEH FIRST TO SAY THIS JUST DO ONE SHOW FOR THE FANS !!!!! I TOLD YOU EDDIE !!!!SOUND SLIKE CORY IS WITH ME !!!! BUDDY U MUST TALK WITH KISS !!
AND STILL MAKE THSI HAPPEN!
News flash Baz——Thayer FOR SURE isn’t better than Ace. And history has already proven that lol. Joe in The Cuse
I began a sentimental journey ever since KISS was announced as inductees into the RRHF.
I know everyone has an opinion…well… the FACTS are…when you go to a kiss show the most played and enduring songs are from the Ace/Peter years. Not discounting what Paul and Gene did after their departure from the band…with many talented players who do deserve credit for what they have done.
But as a diehard fan this induction is also validation for me as a lifelong kiss fan…after all the crap I took since I was 8 years old about the band I love…but I stood my ground and defended the greatest band in the world KISS!.Now…after all we the fans have done for you guys…you can’t let “Us” the fans have our moment. 40 years has gone by and a lot has transpired…but guys…Never forget who put you on top of the world…us fans.
Well said. Here, here.
