That Metal Show returns this week with their biggest episode of the current season to date. In the midst of the controversy around KISS not allowing two of it’s original members to perform on stage during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 10th, KISS original drummer Peter Criss shares how he really feels about this matter with hosts Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine. Peter also recounts the joyful early days of KISS, his battle and triumph over male breast cancer, and the joy he felt when playing with Ace Frehley again at host Eddie Trunk’s recent 30-years-in-radio celebration.
In Put It On The Table, Peter answers which band he wishes he could be in if it wasn’t KISS, the song he wishes he wrote, and the best concert he ever attended. The episode ends with Criss addressing the KISS Army telling them how sad he is that he won’t be able to play for them one more time and, as he so eloquently says to Paul and Gene, “What’s wrong with giving ten minutes of your time, for the forty years that you’ve given us?”
Charred Walls of the Damned drummer Richard Christy also drops by the show to take on the coveted guest musician job. Christy showcases his drumming skills while performing in front of his childhood hero, Criss. At one point Richard thanks Peter saying that if it wasn’t for Peter and Kiss, Richard would not be playing drums today. Christy also lets us know that he is currently in the studio working on the new Charred Walls of the Damned album, which will be out some time next year.
Episode ten also features the usual fan-favorite segments: The TMS Top 5 tackles the Top 5 KISS Songs with all three hosts only agreeing on one song, the epic Black Diamond. Peter then adds a few of his own that were missed. This week’s Throwdown pits the KISS classic live albums Alive against Alive II. The decision is unanimous as the original Alive wins the title. This week’s Stump The Trunk finds Eddie battling to regain his dominance over the audience questions with the end result being lots of camera time for everyone’s favorite Miss Box of Junk, Jennifer.
Episode ten of That Metal Show airs this Saturday, March 22nd at 11:00PM ET/PT.

Cold shower now and no alcohol this week-end for you or your son.
VERY creepy dude
Keep it in your pants, Perv.
I forgot about Dave Marsh that liberal hack who has his head so far up Springsteen’s ass he’d say 1927 mexican field worker songs from California croaked by Bruce would be a masterpiece.
Lmao……I just LOVE reading some of these posts. Some really idiotic ie: Jim calling out Eddie…..FYI Jim……all of our opinions matter. And I think your “nuts” pissin your $$$ away on a KISS Kruise seeing the hottest tribute band in the world. But that’s my opinion. You enjoy watching Space Ace…errrr Tommy and the Catman Pet..errr……Eric. ;-)~~. ewwwwwww no thank you! Joe in The Cuse
This isn’t the first time the Rock Hall excluded band members. When Black Sabbath was inducted, it was just the original four, they left out Dio! When Rush was inducted, they excluded John Rutsey, who played on the first album. Rutsey was a fantastic drummer, but the Hall saw him as the Pete Best of Rush. On the other hand, when the Rolling Stones were inducted, they DID include Mick Taylor, and Ron Wood, who both came after Brian Jones. The Rock Hall is a joke! Last thing…..Peter Criss inspired me to be a rock star and play in front of an audience. I play in a bar band and I owe KISS a debt of gratitude for giving me the kahoneys to get out there and play! Life is GOOD!
