That's the first thing that went through my mind! She's a cutie pie!

The black interviewer is hot. Also, my opinion is Ace and Peter were living a rock stars life just like most of us musicians would in that situation. I met Gene Simmons and if i had to spend that much time with him and tour with him, i would of been drunk also.

0:21 "after being with such a suck..sex...s-successful group for such a long period of time"

You know alot of people diss Peter Criss for being fired and having a bad solo career, WELL you know what at least this stuck to his roots and beliefs when he did his solo projects and didnt sell out, this man is the real deal because he cared about the music and he did what he loved doing even if it wasnt successfull.

Peter may have fell, but atleast he fell with dignity and had a good crack at it, just because his stuff didnt sell dosent make him a bad artist or musician.

TinMan, I don't know where your "official word" is from but he was FIRED. The band had a meeting with Bill Aucoin after the recording of Unmasked and AFTER they gave Peter one last chance. Peter came back saying he had been working with Jim Chapin, a famous drum teacher. He was acting very strange and kept wanting to check his sheet music and that's when the band knew it was over. Reference Kisstory Volume I page 305. Peter has often lies or simply doesn't remember right about the past. DRUGS!

@Klinkle I don't know where you got that from, but official word says Peter quit. Also, if Peter and Ace did screw in KISS -- which they probably did -- so did Paul and Gene. Gene often forgot the lyrics to his songs, Paul often lost his voice and sang out of tune. Peter and Ace may have been stone out of their faces most of the time, but they were a part of the original KISS. They were not employees, they were not sidekicks, they were not clones, they were not impersonators. They were the ones!

Any regrets Peter?.....

[ACETYGRA]

@ciadella1971 Amen! It was the 70s. The time before AIDS came along and ended the party. One thing to note from what Ive heard according to a former roadie of the band I met. (He worked with the group from the "Love Gun" to the "Unmasked tour" in Australia.) Gene wasnt really the bad guy, It was Paul that was the bitchy, egotistical diva and Gene was actually pretty stable minded.

Peter Criss by far had the best sounding voice in KISS.
