I look forward to not listening to it

[Charles Bukaki]

Who's he going to get to play drums?

[Gibsonite]

Who's he going to get to play drums?

[JinglesTheChristmasMouse]

Boy, that was stiff.

[El Vampiro Blanco]

Who's he going to get to play drums?

And who to write songs?

[El Vampiro Blanco]

He could have called into Eddie Trunk and told tens of thousands of people. But no. He told Julian fucking Gill who has four thousand YouTube subscribers.

Amazing Peter could be in a platinum selling band and still have no bloody idea how the industry works.

He also was convinced that All for One album would be a huge success and financed it himself!
When even Kiss wasn't selling any albums.
They should protect him against himself...

[demolition23]

I only know who Peter Criss is under protest - now I’m expected to know who the hell Julian Gill is?

[Whatever Happened To…]

Excellent, a sequel to my fave comedy album of all time, One For All.

I wonder who is really playing drums on this shitshow - no way is Sheehan locking in with Noodle Arms.

[keyofgee]

don't watch the guy to closely, he keeps looking down and reading what his has either written or someone wrote for him. Scripted and annoying. Peter looks like he has his eyes closed too. (seriously)

[Wild Obsession]

Between this gripping announcement of an upcoming Peter Criss album, and the Vinnie Vincent Cult, I think we are about to enter a renaissance of KISS related sludge.

[NeonKnite]

He could have called into Eddie Trunk and told tens of thousands of people. But no. He told Julian fucking Gill who has four thousand YouTube subscribers.

Yep, Eddie would have been absolutely thrilled.

It would have been better than this hostage video.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Is that the loser that bans everyone on the KISSFAQ forum?

[TREVERLAST]

Who's he going to get to play drums?

About a week ago a DJ on Hair Nation talked about this. He said he was with Billy Sheehan recently and that he told him he "played on a new Peter Criss album and that it's really good." He also said that Billy Sheehan played it for Ray Luzier & Ray asked "who's on drums?" and Billy replied "Peter Criss".

[NeonKnite]

Is that the loser that bans everyone on the KISSFAQ forum?

Yes.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

My God! That was the worst promo I've ever seen in my life. That was like Weekend at Bernie's or something! Looked like he was sleeping in a nursing home and some fat dude just starting filming him.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

It’s embarrassing, he should stick to banning people for no reason.

[ParaDime77]

Nothing like an 80 year old talking about his new “rock ‘n’ roll record” while-being partially embalmed on Godknowswhat with some fat ass hanger on trying to capture clicks. Boy, when the KISS machine is not backing you, these old guys have really nothing to go on at all.

[Wiseacre]

Good luck, Pete!

Sadly, it will probably suck.

[Love_Industry]

Amazing Peter could be in a platinum selling band and still have no bloody idea how the industry works.

This is the guy who thought Kiss held him back after he wrote a few words to a Stan Penridge song that Bob Ezrin and payola made into their second biggest hit.

Their biggest hit had Peter on the cover but he was replaced by Anton Fig on drums. That should have given him a hint.

George Peter John Criscuola is not an intelligent man and the second luckiest guy to be in Kiss. After Eric Carr who would spend another decade playing disco covers in bars if Bobby Rondinelli could sing.

Yes, his autobiography also clearly showed his lack of education and smarts, but somehow this guy still managed to live off his Kiss money from when he left in 1980 to almost the reunion and then again has lived off his Kiss reunion money since 2001.
He never had to get a real job and, with the exception of 1994, never had to play small clubs.
It boggles the mind.
Not many of the musicians discussed on this board managed that.

[jens]

Wow, one of the most thrilling endorsements I've ever seen.
That dude is gold on the mic, definitely has a future in the WWE.

[bigmakoshark]

This Julian Gill guy is the worst narrator I've ever seen.
He misses cues, cuts off words, and uses enthusiasm where it doesn't belong.
Peter looks like Weekend at Bernies.

this sounds like 100% truth

Not even Criss himself. Living off Kiss money until 1995 maybe, but he was back at clubs and county fairs already in 1984 with the Criss Penridge Alliance. And bombed, the tour had to end after less than 10 shows (7 on setlist.fm, may be a few missing). Then he was playing clubs from 1992 to 1995. Not to mention that in 1986 he joined LA band Balls of Fire and played 10 shows in LA area clubs, some even as opener...

Criss outside Kiss never did shit. He released two solo albums right after leaving and couldn't tour them for lack of interest.

I don't remember what his book says but I assume he had good financial advisors who invested his Kiss money wisely. The part that didn't go up the catman's nose. Somehow I don't think he lived frugally and his then-wife even less so.

And as little as he did, it will still be more than Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer can do on their own names.

I think his saving grace was he was a 25% partner of the Kiss corporation until 1987, so likely the money came in in yearly chunks, like Kiss record advances, merchandise etc...

I never took that shit with Pendridge and Balls of Fire seriously, seemed more like a hobby.
Things went off the rails when he discovered his wife was fucking his lawyer after the money started drying up in the early 90s..
The he was suddenly living in an apartment in '94 with his last 100k in cash in a duffel bag.

I'd say both had a more impressive resume before joining Kiss than Criss had before and after combined.

Tracks. I remember him thrusting his arms in the air at the end of Beth during Unplugged. He needed a payday and he knew it was coming.
