KISS if Paul Stanley doesn’t apologise for his recent comments regarding a reunion of the band’s original line-up.The US group was formed by Stanley, singer and bassist Gene Simmons, guitarist Frehley and drummer Peter Criss in 1973.
However, the latter two members left KISS in the ’80s, although both have performed with the band since.KISS’ current line-up consists of Stanley, Simmons, guitarist Tommy Thayer, and drummer Eric Singer.During a recent interview, Stanley was asked why the band had not performed at their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 2014 – and if it was because Thayer and Singer were not included in the inductions.“[…] We had too much pride in this lineup, which is KISS, and has been KISS for 20 years,” he explained. “It’s not newcomers. … This is the band that has carried the flag and taken it, really, to another level.
This is the band I always dreamed it would be.”Stanley went on to say that the Rock Hall had been “demanding”, and wanted KISS to perform with Frehley and Criss. “At this point, that would be demeaning to the band, and also would give some people confusion,” he said.“‘Cause if you saw people onstage who looked like KISS but sounded like that, maybe we should be called PISS.”Frehley has now hit back at Stanley over his remarks, and demanded an apology while appearing on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk.“Paul, if you’re not listening, I’m sure one of your associates in the KISS group are,” he said (via Blabbermouth).
