I don’t think Slash HATES KISS! He’s been seen wearing KISS shirts several times and he’s friends with Ace Frehley and sites him as an influence. I think, like Axl, he just prefers early KISS and not so much their later years
-
For whatever its worth I ran into Gene Simmons in a parking lot in San Antonio, Texas. He couldn't have been any nicer.
-
Nikki said Gene dresses like a clown , wrote some good songs a long time ago , I’ve heard he’s called him a mediocre musician and a poon hound . The funny thing is add junkie to that list and he’s described himself .

I saw the tour with Aerosmith here in Indianapolis. Having KISS open was a mistake. They put on one HELL of a show . We were all exhausted and our throats were raw when Aerosmith came out and did their garage band act . Boring as could be . People chanted KISS , some left , most sat back in their seats . I don’t remember if they said good night, I do know the band left the stage and never did an encore .

Paul Stanley talking about Slash airing dirty laundry is rich, given his own mudslinging with his former band members.
-
I like kiss better than all these bands but at the end of the day couldn't give a fuck about any rockstars opinions or comments. They aren't role models. Just people who are paid to play music.
-
I think some musicians were envious because KISS was not the most musically talented, but were creative geniuses who ripped out their heart on stage and handed it to you. This may have bothered some. Not many people can play a guitar like Santana, but no need to bash KISS. It's just so unnecessary.
-
Slash is probably a huge Kiss fan.
-
If Aerosmith puts their music first before the show then what was the excuse when kiss outperformed them musically and the show was incredible when they played together
-
My first CD ever was alive III. Paul as a vocalist is underated imo.
-
I don't hate kiss and never have,so it's not everyone.
-
GNR can say what they want. At least KISS never threw a hissy fit and walked off stage.
-
As a person who goes to concerts a lot i didnt even like KISS until i saw them live. I didnt grow up with their music and liked some of the bands inspried by them more. But paying the same money to see KISS vs someone else at an arena, KISS has always been the best bang for the buck when it comes to concerts.

It's hard to imagine anyone playing (of all genres) rock and roll looking down on kiss. In the words of the great paul stanley, "we're not painting the Mona Lisa."
-
I saw KISS and Aerosmith in Indianapolis. KISS opened and as soon as KISS was done people started walking out trying to give their seats away to anyone that would take them.

Aerosmith played with Britney Spears and I found it blasphemy. Rush and Styx on the other hand opened for KISS and loved the experience. Rush had issues with Aerosmith and refused Rush a soundcheck the 50 shows they did. Styx upstaged Aerosmith in 1977 and Aerosmith fans threw M80s at Aerosmith after Styx mopped the floor with them. In fact Dennis DeYoung said opening up for KISS was the shot in the arm to help The Grand Illusion album explode and John Panozzo was influenced by Peter Criss to have a drum kit move to the center of the stage and Styx used rising platforms on subsequent tours.

KISS. They opened up a new world for many millions of young fans. Escape into a fantasy land full of sight and sound. Their music wasn't brilliant but it got the job done. Congratulations to KISS for being highly successful for 50 yrs!!

Dude. I just found you again after 10-15 years? I LOVED Creatures of the Net and the one after that (was it the Cassius Morris show back then? Ari Shaffir, Joey Diaz, Ace Frehley, etc.?). It has been forever, and I am super happy to find your content again.

Crazy that you would get fired from Prince's band if you even had a joint and he died from narcotics...!
