Holly Gonnella I done some work at his house in Jersey in 2005 we were there 10 weeks, I'm a musician but was not a Kiss fan at all I'm into Dylan, Neil Young etc. But once I met him and mentioned I'm from Liverpool he was so happy to talk about the Beatles he absolutely loves them, after that I got to talk to him on a daily basis mainly about music he told me some funny shit he's funny guy. Absolute lovely man very down to earth let us use his guest house for lunch his pool anytime we wanted, I came away a huge Peter Criss fan and will be forever.
Paul is getting his karma from all the smack he's talked about former members , lost his voice and Gene is looking like the good guy in the end. Love the original band .
I just finished Genes book after Paul’s and I find it very fascinating that Gene signs his book off mentioning what a pleasure it was to deal with a more mature and together Ace in the Psycho Circus era and that no matter what, Ace and Peter would always have a special place in his heart Just such a shockingly different tone from Paul’s book that dressed down everyone in his path
I keep saying this! People who have met gene see his as an asshole but have to remember hes a business man and has things he needs to do but hes genuinely a nice guy. Paul cant go a day without dragging peter and ace name
When Peter came too Melbourne Australia for the kiss Convention, he was the most friendly person you could meet, so I don't think will ever know the truth about kiss, we only think we do. True
I go way back with these guys to when I was a boy and the destroyer album...good to see Gene reaching out to Ace and Peter. Peter's wife won't let anyone give him shit. Peter is a class act..anyone who say's he's a crap drummer are full of it..admired by so many drummers..his style is more feel than technical. Band needs to reunite the original 4 members.
Peter is the one member of Kiss that went out gracefully. He seems the most down to Earth out of the four original members in my opinion. Thanks for all the years of Kick ass drumming and memories Peter. 🥁
Hello you must be NEW here sit down,Paul, Ace, peter & Gene are always in a "good mood" until it ends THEN the say in interviews how terrible it was back stage, or during the "Meeting"
Honestly... all bullshit aside .. I believe the original Lineup Of KISS has a love/hate relationship with one another... it wasn’t a perfect marriage, but when it was good it was Great! That said , I truly believe all four original members with have admiration for one another as long as They live. Soulmates aren’t necessarily meant to last forever but they are meant to come into one another’s lives for the better for a better purpose for a set period of time..
Became a kiss fan in 75 I have followed the band since kiss went to shit when Peter and ace left the band they were the heartbeat of the group and gave it that unique sound. It's sad to see what they have become what's even worse is that all bandmembers are still alive it's funny with money and greed can do to a person
Great to see gene and Peter getting along again the past is the past now get him and ace and every single member together for one last kick ass album like creatures or destroyer with new costumes and a world tour then everyone can do there own thing would be a dream come true for us kiss fans
LOL!! are you F**KIN serious? NO NO that's been done & it wouldn't work. Ace (God bless him) is Annoying to listen to, peter whines & Gene will just talk about great & Rich he is. im a big KISS fan but some of you fans NEED to Face REALITY at some point.
Peter looks healthy and capable. One final worldwide tour perhaps limited shows would be a fitting end to the four that started it all. After all NOTHING would have come after if not for the original foursome. The REAL KISS
I think there has ALWAYS been a lot of genuine affections between the guys in the original line up. So much of the shit and animosity, I THINK, comes out of that family dynamic. When someone you're close to publicly criticizes you it makes it that much worse. At the core of it, I think that's what we've seen over the decades, the public being privy to a family fight.
I wonder if Gene gave Peter or Ace $$ for showing up to these appearances since it was mostly a Gene thing outside of Kiss. Just curious if they got paid to show up.
Yeah....makes me sick as hell how he uses him and Ace then viciously attacks them later on when he gets what he wants!!.. Bury the fucking Hatchett and leave the past in the past!!
What I would have gave to be a fly on the wall when Paul Stanley seen this. Don’t doubt yourself for one second he wasn’t seething when he viewed this. I have one request for Gene, please invite Eddie Trunk to one of your Vault experiences...please.
I can sniff another major and last reunion between Peter Ace Gene and Paul. But I feel the real handbrake in all this is Paul after reading his book on how Kiss is his band and how he saved it many times over the years. Maybe Gene Ace and Peter could do it without Paul. You know anything can happen a new Paul replacement who can sing would be great.
It’s Paul who’s stopping things, Ace,Gene & Peter would’ve played the HOF ceremony but Paul didn’t want to and he pretty much controls everything KISS.
As awesome as that would be, I don’t think Peter can do it. There were questions about his abilities on the last KISS tour he was on, and he protested having to use triggers to assist him.
IMO I think if it came down to it, Gene just MIGHT reunite with Ace and Peter one last time, but I seriously doubt Paul would ever agree to it. And the reality is, KISS is Paul's band.
this is huge. its one thing if gene is friendly with ace but if he is talking with peter there is ABSOLUTELY a farewell tour being discussed. it maybe a cameo for Ace and peter and it may invole other former members but definately something is goin on
It feels good just to see harmony between them. Still don't see a reunion tour. I see Cruise announcements. I see them getting together for a one off song in those settings, but that's about it. Just seeing these kinds of moments alone make it worth while. That is reunion enough for me. Happiness instead of bitching.
Yup. the four should show up in one of their homes, just hang and jam. Take a few pictures of each other doing whatever they're doing, have a blast, then follow it up with a press release; "We're done, we've put our common problem to the side. Thanks for all fans, it's been real. Peace out."
KISS fan since 1975. Honestly, Paul Stanley needs to just bury the hatchet already w/ Peter and Ace. Move on, do your new Kiss thing fine but bring it full circle. He's always going on about "life's too short"... take your own advice and make your peace. You will thank yourself for it.
what part of ( 2 idiots messed it up for themselves Twice! ) don't you understand?the goons will just want more Money, More contracts, Fake ass smiles for the Cameras.I HATE to sound rude but I think a lot of you fans who think another reunion would workare A. Smoking Pot, or B. doing lines of coke.
MetalHeart8787 You don't hate to sound rude - you ARE rude. I understand perfectly fine Ace & Peter messed their careers up (Pete more than Ace). Where in my comment did I mention a reunion?! Looks like YOU don't understand. It's a video of Pete lending support, stopping by to see Gene (no songs). So I was suggesting Paul should simply extend an olive branch for once. I certainly would not vote for another reunion... leave it in the past. Just thought the boys should all grow up. Thanks but I don't smoke.
ok sorry you are Right you didn't mention a reunion, but so many fans do. im still irritated about the whole 98 circus CD that was supposed to be all 4 & it wasn't.paul & Ace did do a song together so that's extending a branch.
He stated this on his webpage ... didn't think it would be like that, wouldn't harm to stay a little while for the fans ... it's not that there are 100s of fans out there ...
It's something we've heard from Ace and Bruce and Vinnie on the end of the road tour haven't heard anything from Peter lately. Wonder what his thoughts are.
At his age I doubt he could do a full 2 hour concert anymore, he is the oldest, pushing 70 I believe now. But what a money maker for the band if he and Ace could be included in some way in this last tour.
yes and providing they can put the past behind them and move forward when it comes to working with Tommy and Eric they are both amazing and I don't see anything wrong with both of them wearing the makeup if they wished I mean come on both Tommy and Eric are amazing musicians and they kept the honor up with the character we all know that Ace and Peter are the originals will always respect them for that but at the same time I would hope that Peter and Ace would show the same cordiality to them. and I think if they work together they can create absolutely amazing music even if for a special segment Ace and Tommy and Peter and Eric could each have a sort of guitar and drum duel I think that would be one heck of a show :) and it wouldn't be a long segment for Peter to Drum
@@IronhorseSara Yes but so far in the group, they are just mimicking the same drum and guitar patterns, shucks - event the same notes as the original players, they need to come up with something original in the songs and solos to stand out.
Thats just it they did that for Sonic Boom and yet not too many liked it and i think because this is the end they want to bring back alot of favorites like Eric Singer just showed us his drum kit and alot of it is from the 70s fully refurbished and he said it was his way of sending a cordial shout out to Peter which i admire alot. They should put their own spin but nothing wrong with a tip of the hat to the past.
I have been a huge fan since the first album, seen them in every incarnation more times than I can count, the reunion made me feel like an invincible 10 year old again. Now when you look back and see what could have been it truly breaks my heart to see how it is now. Paul was always my favorite member, but his bitchy tantrums over Ace and Peter makes me wish the band has just called it quits after Psycho Circus, at least then it would have ended with some dignity.
Yeah, and at this age he may not be able to do a full 2 hour concert but he and Ace should join the band on this final End of the Road Tour for the fans.
I have seen KISS with every member, Mark St. John appeared onstage but did not play, I have to say they have always sounded good but the charisma of the original 4 is huge. Today Paul can't sing anymore and it sucks.
Did peter say , gene sent his a A Beautiful and an lovey invitation to come perform at his vault ? I wonder how much money he had to pay him to show? After all those hard words to each other threw the past years
If you haven't seen the one hour movie called kiss breaking the band, at one time when Peter Criss was down and out and his home got destroyed buy an earthquake and he was ready to commit suicide my putting a gun in his mouth and look down on the floor and seen a picture of his daughter and it caused him to change his mind. It would have been so sad if he had pulled the trigger.
