Peter Criss

Peter Criss again spoke out against the band's decision to not perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Founding Kiss drummer Peter Criss says that he was "denied" a chance to perform alongside his former bandmates at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, in a move he calls "disgraceful."

Now that Kiss are on the ballot for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, fans have started daydreaming about what it might be like to see the band enshrined alongside some of their fellow rock legends. But if your dream includes seeing the original lineup play at the induction ceremony, Gene Simmons has some bad news for you.

You could fill half a dozen documentaries with behind-the-scenes stories from Kiss' career. Unfortunately, now that there's an official movie in the works, ongoing bitterness will keep two former members from sharing their Kisstory.

It may not be pretty, but if you ask Kiss' Gene Simmons a question, you can pretty much always count on a direct answer.

Founding Kiss drummer Peter Criss has been admirably up front about his struggle with breast cancer, working steadily over the last several years to help educate men about the risks and warning signs associated with the disease, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed; in fact, Criss is the recipient of this year's Humanitarian of the Year Award from the American Cancer Society.

Kiss drummer Eric Singer has sharp words for Peter Criss, but during a recent interview he never stoops to the level of insults thrown at him by the band's original timekeeper.
