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 |

Actually, he's 100% correct.
KISS didn't get into the Rock and Roll HoF due to contributions from Vinnie Vincent, Bruce Kulick, or Eric Singer or any of the other dudes nobody can ****ing remember. KISS got in because they were an instrumental piece in the development of heavy metal music - both their mid-70's sound and the make-up. The original line-up is the only line-up that matters, and it's the line-up that should be performing on stage at the R&R HoF. If they want to bring in other current and former members for a super jam, great. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are two of the biggest assholes in rock music, though, so that's no possible. |

10 is the problem. With 10 Gene and Paul only get 78% of the royalties on the official KISS hall of fame t-shirts, as opposed to the customary 78.26%.

I've always thought Peter Criss had the most interesting vocals in the band. It was a shame he didn't sing more. Ace had a really good sound. The guys who came after him didn't have that beautiful warm tone and that, to me, is what turned them into just another '80s Hair Band as someone else suggested. Watch this clip. Paul's guitar sounds like shit and he's playing sloppy as ****.
