      I heard a rumor that there’s a curse on the four original members of KISS, because of what happened to Fox. The supposed curse basically goes that if Paul and Gene and Ace and Peter try to have a reunion of any kind, it’ll end in KISSaster. At first I scoffed at the idea of such a thing--but then their reunion tour wasn’t exactly a bed of roses, and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame didn’t exactly go so well, either, did it? If there really is a curse, I hope there’s some way to undo it, because what happened to Fox wasn’t their fault, and I don’t think they should have to be made to spend the rest of their lives without ever seeing each other again because of it! They’re BROTHERS, for pity’s sake!

      I actually got to put my arms around him during CreaturesFest! And when it was my turn for a picture with him, the camera guy teasingly said, “Hey, Ace, look! It’s your bride-to-be!” And Ace didn’t exactly voice any objections or protestations on being set up like that. But then he doesn’t know yet I happen to be Gene’s niece--I think that might scare him a bit, like, “Oh my god of thunder! Gene is finally gonna officially kill me!”

    '96 Reunion should have been the end of Kiss as embarrassing now for Kiss. They could have gone out on a high like Sabbath but have chosen to limp on for reasons no one understands.

      I don't agree about Sabbath going out on a high as you put it. Drummer Bill Ward alive and willing wasn't a part of the ending because they "supposedly" wouldn't give him a signable contract. He wasn't on 13 or part of the last tour which will always be something I'll never get over or be able to accept. Bill was as important as the rest of that band and equally a part of what made them who they were. So for myself the end of Sabbath was so wrong.

    It's not only Peter Criss who says that he feels like being treated as worker/Second class member apparently Ace says almost the same thing of feels like being treated as a Sideboy. I guess something really wrong happening on KiSS. Me personally feel like Ace n Peter are being used on this Case. I mean why among Billions of people in the world they choose to bring back Ace n Peter. I think because they know without Ace n Peter there's no hope for them to bring back old success. And because a lot of KiSS fans will always remember KiSS as original 4.Yet Gene n Paul are too ashamed to admit it 😁😁😁😁

    • @shewolfsiren

      I think it’s also partly because Paul and Gene feel ashamed they let Peter and Ace get into such bad states instead of looking out for them like good brothers should (Peter and Ace BOTH could’ve ended up statistics just like Kirk Cobain and so many other poor unfortunate rock stars). So when they brought them back, they were trying to make up for it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Am I wrong?
