Gene, where's the love. You said they're family.

"And they succumbed to the cliché of clichés, which is drugs and alcohol. Are you kidding me? So if you are going to pass the ball to your teammate and they can’t see where the goal is, they’ve got to leave."

When will Gene realize that Anomaly and Space Invader, are better than anything KISS has put out since Revenge? Long time KISS fan but Gene ticks me off when he talks about Ace.

QBREES9

Same here. Just let it go Gene.

On another note. I'm going to see them in few weeks. Wasn't too excited to pay $150 to see Tommy thayer. Haha

Dam $150.00. I was a Big Peter Criss fan.

Ace isn't exactly letting it go either.

been a Kiss fan a long time, but Simmons has been an @55hole with just about everything he has ever been involved with. He's a raging egomaniac

People forget where they come from. Without Ace and Criss they more than likely would have been a memory a long time ago. I loved that band. Kiss Alive and Kiss Alive II were really good albums. Yes I am that old!!

Read Chaim Witz's biography, he earned his way more than you know if you haven't read the book and know where he came from. His mother was a holocaust survivor and he and his mother immigrated to the US when he was 8, he didn't speak English when he arrived.

The face and business of Kiss have always been Gene/Chaim Witz and the person that held it all together and the genius behind their music was Paul. Gene has an in-your-face personality and that doesn't sit well with most but it made him a lot of money.

The band was an anomaly in regards to having 4 members that could actually sing. This generated a whole lot of content but other than Beth (which is huge in its own respect) Peter Chris isnt known for his Kiss solo album nor anything he did after Kiss. Ace Frehley is much the same story except that New York Groove was never close to Beth in popularity or sales.

Paul speaks fairly honestly about all of them, and Gene isnt very far from the truth on the accusations, Chris and Frehley admitted he was correct.

I owned Rock and Roll Over the day it came out, that and Dynasty are still both on my play list..
