I think today september 7, 2011 that Peter Criss is the best drummer of rock and roll, i love it. I like Neil Peart drummer too :) I like to see Mike Portnoy too, but Peter is my classic drummer,it is like a grandpa XD
@frehleyukito let's don't forget the late great John Henry Bonham..who Peter has recently mentioned was his idol and the one he wanted to sound like..much love for the both...
For all you Peter Criss haters, and those that say that Singer or Carr is better than Criss, can go and fuck yourselves. All three drummers for Kiss had different styles, Peter was more old style, but still great all the same. I'm a Kiss fan and a drummer, and I know a great drummer when I hear one.
All this talk about Peter Criss sucking is just a waste of time. Eric Carr and Eric Singer are great drummers too. Peter Criss has suffered from Carpal Tunnel for years. That and being in his mid 50's when this was done did not do him much good either. A lot of tours and wear and tear will take its toll eventually so to all you Peter haters out there I'd like to see you do better!!!!!
Peter was my first influence in the mid '70's. His peak was around the LIVE album in 1975. As has been documented, his perosnal issues brought down his talent level. In the Reunion Tour of 1996, he played well enough as to not embarass himself, but by the time Farewell Tour came, I saw them in NJ and when came time for the 'Makin Love' roll around the kit, he couldn't even do that. I like him for being an original member. But to say, he has more talent than Singer is an insult to Singer.
That was a great concert!! Thanks for posting all these videos. My wife and I were on the 2nd row and had a blast! We can be seen at 7:57. I thought we would be on more videos but didn't because all the girls were lifting their shirts up in front of us.
PETER WAS THE BEST DRUMMER KISS EVER HAD,,,,VERY JAZZ ORIENTED.. WAS LEARNING FROM THE LATE GREAT GENE KRUPA BEFORE HE MADE IT WITH KISS..KEEP IN MIND THIS SOLO HERE HE WAS OUT OF HIS PRIME....NO KNOCK AT ERIC CARR I LOVED HIM,,BUT HIS DRUMMING WAS MORE BASED ON SPEED..PETER WAS MORE BASED ON RHTHMS... CHECK OUT THE 76' SOLO...THE BEST....PERIOD
@bgj150 JAZZ??? GENE KRUPA???? Are you completely out of touch with reality? Maybe this twat is the only drummer you have ever listened to and you sure as hell have never heard Gene Krupa, or jazz. If you had there is no way in hell you would have said that shit. Peter Chris isn't fit to gnaw the maggots off of Krupa's corpse. In fact I have never seen any drummer in any genre of music play as poorly as Chris and get paid for it. Not ever. It's embarrassing. It's like Bob Dylan's singing. bad.
Anybody who thinks Eric Carr is a better drummer simply because Gene said he thinks so is an idiot! Get your own ideas for Pete's sake (no pun intended). I think all of KISS's drummers kick ass myself. Anytime Peter has a solo when I show concert DVDs to people has the viewers stop talking and listen mesmerised. It's awesome and happens everytime! They usually laugh at Gene's blood and three note solos and get grossed out by the fake blood, but they're still fun too. Long live KISS!
i started out drumming cause of criss. somewhere around 1975 i believe. it wasn't so much his solos, but the songs he played drums on. anyway, i did eventually move on to other drummers, past and present and came up with my style. which is a far cry from criss' style. anyway, i wish people would stop comparing criss to singer and carr. criss' had little to learn from as apposed to singer and carr. so therefore, he kicked ass in his day. although, i think he should have practice more.
Eric Singer might be up for debate for some people, but personally I don't think so. However there is no way Peter Criss is a better player than Eric Carr, end of story! Even Gene Simmons himself said Eric Carr was a much more accomplished drummer than Peter Criss. Peter Criss is a mediocre player at best. In no way is he the caliber of player that Eric Carr was! Eric Carr was the best drummer KISS ever had!
The best and most MUSICAL drummer of our time!

THE last 11 shows, Peter, didn't do the drum solo because, he wasn't happy with his salary. That marked his departure.
