Let’s discuss one thing that might both soften your face off with pleasure… or make you roll your eyes so onerous you pull a muscle.
Is the unique KISS lineup reuniting… in Vegas? We’ve heard this earlier than. However this time, there’s precise smoke — and with KISS, the place there’s smoke, there’s normally fireworks, platform boots, and Gene Simmons respiration fireplace.
So right here’s what’s taking place: KISS simply introduced a particular three-day occasion in Las Vegas, November 14th to sixteenth, known as “KISS Military Storms Vegas.” No make-up. No pyro. Simply the band.
Now right here’s the place issues get fascinating. In a brand new interview with Greg Schmitt of Noize In The Attic, Gene Simmons was requested whether or not Ace Frehley and Peter Criss have been invited to this Vegas occasion?
Requested if authentic KISS members Ace Frehley (guitar) and Peter Criss are “welcome” to look at “KISS Military Storms Vegas”, Gene stated: “After all.”
After Schmitt famous that KISS is without doubt one of the final bands of his era which have all dwelling members and that “it’d be nice if someone may actually make the most of that also,” Simmons stated:
“I like the best way you suppose, however it’s dreamland, my pal. That’s not how life works. You’ll be able to lead a horse to water, however that’s all you are able to do. We invited — I personally invited Ace and Peter to leap up on stage with us at Madison Sq. Backyard [for the final KISS concert]. ‘Hey, why don’t you invite him on the present?’ I did, however they stated no. ‘I need this and I need that.’ ‘Nicely, you’ll be able to’t have that, however be part of us to have a good time the start.’”
Now, in case you’ve adopted KISS drama for longer than 5 minutes, you understand that is classic Ace and Peter. These guys invented “band beef.” The fights, the firings, the lawsuits — it’s rock cleaning soap opera at this level.
Gene left the door open. Paul? In all probability rolling his eyes backstage. But when Ace decides to roll the cube — pun supposed — and Peter throws on the Catman eyeliner yet another time… that Vegas stage may see the reunion followers have been begging for since ages.
