Topic: Kiss

Well, I just listened to Ace Frehley on Eddie Trunk's radio show last night, and he's confirmed that the original 4 members, being himself, Peter, Gene & Paul will not be performing together at the induction in April. Gene & Paul want to perform with the current lineup and the hall of fame is agreeing to let that happen. Ace isn't sure if he's even going to attend since there's not gonna be a performance. If he does go, he says it will be for the fans, that's it. I think The Hall of fame should tell them that either the original 4 perform, or nobody plays at all. If Kiss had been inducted in 1999 when the were elgible, this wouldn't have been an issue, since the original guys were together at that time. So, if anyone was planning on buying a ticket to the induction specifically to see Kiss, this might change your mind. Unless things change, there won't be a performance from the original lineup.

Re: Kiss

Apologies ... reviving an old thread ... and slightly off topic post besides ...

more apologies ... if you happened to be 10'ish years old when the KISS Alive I double slab came out ... that early music influence seems to hold on to ya ... no matter how old you get ... and how hard you try and suppress it. big_smile

Ace Frehley coming out with a covers album in April ('16) ... stumbled upon the first released track ... Cream's White Room ... it grabs me a little ... but don't remember Ace's voice sounding like this ... guest vocals? ... autotune?  Album does feature guests ... like Paul Stanley on Free's Fire and Water, Slash, Lita Ford ...
