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.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.

      Because he's from Charlotte, grew up a Panthers fan, and could still make amazing money as an elite LG for his hometown team. And while I think he's a quality starting LT, he's not a Top 5 type of player either.  If he could prove to be a true elite LG, the money might not be that different than what he could make as a LT anyways. I'm not saying he will, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities.
