Kiss announced today that the band won't be performing at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in April because disputes over the lineup churned up ill will among the members.
 
Frehley revealed to a New York radio station on Friday night that the original lineup would not be performing at the ceremony, and said that he was not willing to perform alongside the newer members. "I'm not gonna get on the stage with Tommy wearing my makeup. That's absurd," he told Q104.3 FM, according to Blabbermouth.net. In a statement on his own website, Criss said that he and Frehley "have been denied a performance with Gene and Paul for our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction," and called the situation "disgraceful."
 
According to the band's statement, however, there was no plan to exclude Frehley and Criss from the performance. "Our intention was to celebrate the entire history of Kiss and give credit to all members including long time present members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, and additionally Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr all who have made this band what it is, regardless of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's point of view," the statement said. "It is over 13 years since the original lineup has played together in make-up and we believe the memory of those times would not be enhanced. Contrary to claims made through the media we have never refused to play with Ace and Peter."

 

 

 

One last time for the Original KISS to play together. oh well.

 

They did it before for the Unplugged show, But I guess this is all about the "make-up"...

I saw them live when they did the KISS Alive! tour in 1975 when they were new.

 

I saw them again in 1996 for their Reunion Tour, which was their highest grossing tour ever. Boy, talk about jumping the shark. This is truly a band that has long overstayed their welcome. They just aren't that good any more.

Always been a big fan. Love the theatrics. Should be the original lineup doing the HoF show. Everyone has their own opinions of what rock n roll is. They deserve credit for being around as long as they have, making money, and influencing tons of artists along the way.

I love Kiss saw them live twice at the North Charleston Coliseum with all the original members

 

I saw Peter Chris play for the last time with Kiss, after the show in 2000...My dear mother (RIP) made a collage for me she took my ticket stub and news articles and laminated it for me, my mom died and I cant find where she put it,

The entire fiasco is a Gene Simmons production. Give him five minutes and the slightest idea and he'll find a way to market and make money off it. Ace and Criss were done with the whole make-up thing and the shtick that was KISS. They just wanted to grow up and move on while Simmons continues to live in the past.

 

Honestly, the last time I saw them I was embarrassed.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
