KISS cancels their performance at Rock N Roll HOF induction over lineup dispute
While they've been members of rock n' roll royalty for decades now, KISS will not be performing at their official inauguration: at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The decision to remain soundless that day results from a inner-band dispute over the original and newer band members. Former lead guitarist Ace Frehley broke the news to the late-night disc jockeys on Q104.3's Eddie Trunk Rocks of the line-up in an effort to prevent fans from purchasing tickets to the event hopeful they may witness the original band perform, Blabbermouth reported. The last time I was on [this radio show], it was a very exciting and happy call. And the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame was very excited about having the four original members who are being inducted to perform at the ceremony. And that was shot down by Paul and Gene,' Frehley explained to Q104.3 on Friday. "I'm not gonna get on the stage with Tommy wearing my makeup. That's absurd," Frehley elaborated during the call, asserting Stanley and Simmons were the ones who did not want to perform with the original line-up. In a statement posted on his website, former percussionist Peter Criss revealed to fans that both he and Frehley were not offered a performance alongside Simmons and Stanley . 'I wanted to make sure that fans understood that no original performance, in or out of makeup, has been offered to us,' Criss elaborated in his official statement. This is disgraceful and I feel bad for the fans who were looking forward to the four of us being inducted together,' the percussionist finished. In stark contrast to these claims the band's official website released their own statement to share their side of the story. 'Although KISS has moved forward far longer without them, Ace and Peter are at the very foundation of what we have built and this would all be impossible had they not been a part of it in the beginning,' the statement read. The statement asserts they never denied a performance with two of the band's original members. 'Contrary to claims made through the media we have never refused to play with Ace and Peter,' the statement firmly delivered. 'To bring this to a quick end, we have decided not to play in any line-up and we will focus our attention on celebrating our induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.' Womanizing Gene Simmons spoke with Rolling Stone this past December and parlayed his thoughts on the situation in the best way he knew how: with a metaphor on women. 'It's like, if you introduced me to your wife and I go, "Wait, where are all the other wives?" It's like, "Yeah, I was married to them and now I'm here,"' the bassist comically explained. The 29th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will take place at the Barclay's Center in New York City on April 10. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...e-dispute.html |

On a side note to the KISS thing, when Van Halen got in they couldn't agree on the performance and ended up just scrapping the whole thing. The only ones who even ended up showing were Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony--the two guys no longer in the band. |

I don't think music is a thing that really needs a HOF.

Yes, they don't like each other. Yes, it's a business to them and they're only in it for the money. Having said all that, they're the linchpins of the band. Every band has its key members. Iron Maiden has Steve Harris and Dave Murray. Spinal Tap had Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins. Paul and Gene? They're McCartney and Lennon; Ace and Peter are Ringo. |

Steven Tyler is older than Gene, and still puts on a pretty good show.

At the very least, you've got to be impressed with the way they get around in those giant shoes. Gene just kind of lumbers around, but Paul actually does a lot of running and stuff in those things.

Saw them a couple of years ago. The most mailed in performance I've ever seen by any band. Extremely disappointed.
