Re: A very special message from Peter Criss and Julian Gill
Maybe I’m out of the loop on such matters, and maybe this is a stupid question, but why doesn’t Peter ever reunite with Ace? I’d pay money to see that. Sheehan’s no slouch, though, so good call adding him to this project.

At least Tommy Thayer could fall back on Black N' Blue if he ever gets to reunite with Jamie for that.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 5:14 pmTruth.NeonKnite wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 12:18 pmAnd as little as he did, it will still be more than Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer can do on their own names.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 11:11 am Criss outside Kiss never did shit. He released two solo albums right after leaving and couldn't tour them for lack of interest.
What’s Eric going to do, a third Eric Singer Project album doing more total soundalike cover tunes?
That live album they did was hilarious, they couldn’t decide if they were ESP or Union, there’s Union songs on it. And more 70s KISS shit than stuff he actually recorded with them. And an Alice Cooper cover, again not something he even recorded. The guy is just a fucking scab.

And yet, Peter Criss is in the rock and roll hall of fame. And they are not.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:49 pm I'd say both had a more impressive resume before joining Kiss than Criss had before and after combined.
You haters can say whatever you want, but Peter was a beast in Kiss' early days and influenced a shit ton of musicians.
Singer and Thayer, two journeymen nobody's in the grand scheme of things who left zero impact.

Re: A very special message from Peter Criss and Julian Gill
Not gonna argue, but he's in for being a member of Kiss and nothing else. I doubt that the RRHOF guys even know about his non-Kiss recordings.NeonKnite wrote: ↑Sun Apr 27, 2025 10:05 amAnd yet, Peter Criss is in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Now imagine if "Ayatolla Criscuola" throws his tantrum as he did during the recording of Hotter Than Hell, threatens to leave and G&P say fine, we'll get another drummer.
But yeah, sucks to be Singer. He played with Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and Kiss who are all in RRHOF. And he's not.

Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley are also in the RARHOF for being members of Kiss and nothing else. Almost everyone in the RARHOF is in for being a member of the band they were inducted in and nothing else, other than a very short list of the biggest of the biggest.

Maybe then, they could have gotten a drummer with zero feel, zero groove and zero personality behind the kit.

Yes, he's a journey man drummer who joins bands decades after their heyday and makes absolutely no mark whatsoever.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Sun Apr 27, 2025 11:22 am But yeah, sucks to be Singer. He played with Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and Kiss who are all in RRHOF. And he's not.

You must have a fetish for boring drummers.

Re: A very special message from Peter Criss and Julian Gill
I saw a short 3 minute interview with Peter yesterday and his way of promoting his upcoming record was saying it was a typical Peter Criss album 
He doesnt realize the ridicule all his solo albums have received??

Re: A very special message from Peter Criss and Julian Gill
There are a LOT of KISS fans who are so desperate for ANYTHING new they are convinced this album will totally rock.
I am a realist and put the odds at zero and that’s even with a cast of very famous and very capable KISStars guessing on it.
It’s not like we don’t ALL know better.
I might be surprised, but if that’s the case I will be really, really, really surprised.

Re: A very special message from Peter Criss and Julian Gill

Peter Criss is a legend. I'm looking forward to this.

Julian seems like a nice man. Is KISSFAQ still going? That place was too much for me with some of the posters there.

There’s also a couple of people there who have had almost one thousand user names each, and they kept returning under increasingly ludicrous names and correcting incorrect information posted by idiots, and for some reason that was frowned upon; despite the site being called KISSFAQ which suggests some sort of factual or intelligent discourse.
