Not gonna happen. The last show will be with Eric, Tommy and two other elected shmoes who will have probably one their slots on an INXS type reality game show. Its all down hill from here.

Chaim will probably replace himself with his own kid.....
...who ironically enough, looks more like he should be Stanley Eisen's kid.

What really gets me is the whole Short distance/Marathon runner shit that Gene says and the implication that Ace and Peter were making up numbers and not around that long."They were fantastic for the beginning of the band, and that's the chapter they should be in".Ace and Peter were in the band for 15 years in total .As for physically,Drumming is a lot more demanding than bass and Peter is 67 and Ace can play circles around Gene,Paul and Tommy .
Ugh Gene is a Dick
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
I just finished reading Peter Criss' book. Good read. He let those guys have it!
Something that he mentioned near the end of the book is that his relationship with his daughter is strained. I think that says a lot about him.
But I did love watching him stick it to Gene and Paul
Eat Us and Smile!
Alright!!! Lemme' se yo hands!!
I am going to try and pick it up the next few weeks.Honestly after all the shit thrown his way I think I will enjoy Peter sticking it to Gene
From Ultimate Classic Rock - link:
"Tommy Thayer didn't officially take over as lead guitarist of Kiss until 2002,
but in a recent interview he admits he was prepared to hop on stage in a
moment's notice as early as 1998. Due to recurring problems with Ace Frehley,
Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons made Thayer the 'heir apparent'."
Thayer Epiphone interview mentioned on UCR - link.
Tommy should thanks the alien from the planet named Jandel.
I don't see anything wrong with that...
Ace was unstable and the band had a plan-B...
Ace sounds drunk or high in this clip...
Here's why Ace is not in KI$$
Or this...
Talk about a drunk Ace without Tom Snyder ?!?!

Ace on Tom Snyder is a goddamn classic! Surprised he and Peter weren't kicked out of the band on the spot. Ace's cackle should be imbedded on a platinum disk and shot into space for other worlds to enjoy.
What's funnier than ace is watching gene get more and more fucked off .
fuck your fucking framing
Ace really is the star of that interview and the interviewer looks genuinely to be enjoying talking to him.I always wince at the part where Gene tries to make a joke about some swamp land and the guy just looks confused and talks to Ace some more.Gene really comes off a miserable bastard

Peter writes in his book, that on Tomīs Show, Gene and Paul learned that Ace and him would no longer be controllable.
Ace and Peter began to drink champagne hours before the show and vodka.
Tomīs producer had told him that heīd be lucky to get Ace to open his mouth once, so Tom was astonished that Ace was so lively and hilarious, and at the same time Gene was getting more and more pissed off.
BRILLIANT INTERVIEW
that interview alone tells the reason ACE & PETER got the boot..........they were SO much more interesting than Gene and Paul............
I've always said...watch the 1st KISSOLOGY......ACE farkin' RULES!!!
I think Ace dedicated The Return of Space Bear, from Anomaly to Tom.
I gotta say I seriously doubt Peter Criss could physically keep up with the demands of a full KISS set night after night in 2013.
That's not to say he wasn't treated poorly in 2003 when he was let go.
Am unsure what Simmons means by "taking the band to the next level". Simmons and Stanley are content to have Thayer and Singer in the band because they don't have the physical problems that Criss and Frehley bring to the table. Hey, if that's the logic, then just say so. Getting two other guys in there wearing Criss and Frehley's costumes and makeup while essentially playing the same old Classic KISS tunes (outside of diehards, nobody gives two shits about Sonic Boom and Monster) isn't taking anything "to the next level: it's financial/income maintenance for Simmons and Stanley.
I dunno...at this point does it even matter if Criss and Frehley ever play with the band again? I mean, seriously, if hardcore KISS fans didn't get an opportunity to see the original four during the years 1996-2002, well, they had those 6 years of multiple reunion tours to get their asses to a gig. It wasn't like some Led Zeppelin one-off reunion concert.
Casual KISS fans don't really care that Criss and Frehley aren't there, anyway.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
My Lawd. After reading everybody's posts about the Tom Snyder show all day, I couldn't wait to get home and check it out. Amazing and so very telling about all of them. Ace was absolutely priceless. He may have had a few drinks, but he wasn't trashed like that Eric Carr bit Elvis posted. I was crying when he asked Tom if he had a 10 speed bike and went on to compare the chain slipping on a bike to the problems they had with the drum riser. Gene even looked pissed about that. He truly was a sour puss. Ace and Peter were genuine nice guys. So was Paul, but not quite as likable as those two. I remember as a kid in the late 70's going to watch people fly remote control helicopters in a field by my house. Just like Ace said, they were in at the time. Nice of Ace to acknowledge Tom's love of model trains at the end, too. I totally want to get Peter and Ace's books now.
You're right. The book should have closed on the make-up era for a second time. Really, Gene and Paul could have gone back to their make-up-less version fairly seemlessly considering Eric Singer was always in the fold or in the wings. Without make-up, they could simply have gone back to the revolving door lead guitar format and just rock out. But noooooo. It's too much of a franchise opportunity to let go of. Somewhere in an incubator, two more shmoes are being prepped to take Gene and Paul's place to bring this thing to the next next level.
But that was not really Ace,He was an impostor
I think Paul came off well like you say.There were one or two side long looks at Ace and Peter but generally he come across well.It must just be something about Gene because I have only seen a handful of interviews where he does not come off a pompous miserable old dick.You just get the feeling that Peter leaving and Ace and Peter not coming back is much more of a Gene thing than anything else
If we had to be around Gene like they were we all be drunks too! He's such a miserable human. Ace has said several times over the years that he's the main reason so he could tolerate it. Here's a good story about Gene. When they were shooting the album cover for Hotter Than Hell, EVERYONE was drunk BUT Gene. The models, the band (yes Paul too), the photographer. EVERYONE! But Gene. He must have an allergy to alcohol he doesn't mention. He's not religious so that's not the reason. Maybe he's jealous everyone else gets to have fun while he can't so he choosing to be a miserable ass.
Paul got so drunk at the shoot, they had to lock him in a car. And he couldn't figure out how to get out! Check out the back cover of the album where it depicts this wild, wild party with tons of people in weird outfits. Ten minutes after that picture was taken he passed out.
This space for rent.
Ace got trashed and wrecked a car. "For one photo session we did for the Hotter Than Hell album, this doctor told me I could only put makeup on half of my face. So all the shots were profiles [laughs]. I got into a car accident. Something pissed me off. I got drunk one night and I kept driving around the Hollywood Hills. I kept going around the same block faster and faster [laughs] until I lost control and hit a telephone pole. I think I was just testing destiny. I got out of the car and I had cut my head. I walked back down to the hotel and I knocked on my road manager's door and there's blood running all down my face. He said, "Oh God, what happened to you?" I go, "I wrecked a car." One of many [laughs], it was like the beginning of the saga."
....and then there's Mr. Misery.
Its only a guess but Gene Maybe doesnt drink because he doesnt like loosing control. Of course thats only true if he was a total and utter control freak
If you've listened to the commentary track for the KISSology DVDs which had the Tom Snyder interview, Gene actually admits that Ace made the interview and that his anger at him is not fair. That Ace was being a riot and Gene was too uptight.
The pics from that Hotter Than Hell back cover, you see the chick with the bird mask on with Peter. Legend is the mask is on the back of her head and Peter's getting a blowjob when the pics are snapped.
Stay Frosty, muthas!
If people think that the guys from Jersey Shore partied hard, whatever Snooki or The Situation did on that show was fucking child's play to the Hotter Than Hell photoshoot. There were guys fucking girls, guys fucking guys, and girls fucking girls, the biggest fucking "everything goes" party EVER, and yes, Paul was so wasted that he was locked in a car and literally couldn't find the unlock button XD.
(btw the whole thing in Peters book about the period in Gene's teeth made me want to fucking throw up)
How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-R
Me too, really disgusting
