      OMG YES!!!! I have been saying this forever!! You can replace a player but that exact style can’t be duplicated! Each was unique! That was the magic that made them legendary! That’s all that needed to be acknowledged. It didn’t always have to turn into a pissing match on who is better. Mid 70’s KISS, it was raw, rowdy and dangerous. The hunger was obvious. The go for the jugular. That is what that era meant to a bunch of us!!

      @@one_with_kevrything9825 that’s more a solo than a song. And the argument of the original 4 is moot at this point. They are all past their prime. Paul’s vocals in the last show made the group sound like PISS. I think they could have done that one show to end it. It also would have shown the Kiss Army that we mattered to them and that we were heard. And it’s not a criticism of Tommy and Eric who are incredible musicians. They were put in a bad position by Paul and Gene because of dollar signs as usual.

      @Ricardo-go7yu I was there and I was disheartened that it was just another standard set and not even a Bruce Kulick guest spot. Guess KISS (Paul) must have beef with Grand Funk or something. But, anyway, I don't know many drummers touching 80 that could handle 90+ minutes, much less ones who've played live less than a dozen times the past decade.

      @Ricardo-go7yu As always, Paul and Gene say one thing and Ace and Peter say another. Paul and Gene said they were invited to join, but never heard back. I think I heard Peter just outright declined and I think Ace said if they paid him more than they offered he'd do it. I'm inclined to believe Peter didn't show because he's even rawer about Eric than Ace is to Tommy.

    It’s really well composed and executed. I like to see him incorporating efficiencies in his playing, it’s something we all need to do as time goes by. He’s always been a fantastic drummer, regardless of what’s been written about him in the press. I believe many of his troubles were from the physical rigors of playing all the time, and all over the world. His solo on Alive’s 100,000 years, to this day I believe it’s one of the most influential in Rock history. I’ve heard so many drummers copping his chops. It’s awesome.

    There's only ONE CATMAN, And that's Peter Criss! P 3 keep rocking and keep inspiring others to play thee drums. I am fortunate that I have got to see you with & with out the make up! With out you & ace KISS is just a cover band.
