The 4 NYC boys who formed Kiss were fun & revolutionary at one time, but those guys are long gone & replaced by 4 greedy, very conservative a$sholes that have tremendous psychological problems and are highly dangerous due to their associations with organized crime.
As a former publisher of a well known Kiss zine, I've interviewed every past & present member of the band & come to know them well.
Eric Carr was a great guy & so is Bruce Kulick. Peter Criss is a violent gun freak evangelical catholic that stole my leather jacket. Paul Stanley is profoundly disturbed with identity problems & shady. Shady because he had a girlfriend turn up dead in his dad's furniture store and also has a weird relationship with his sister and her child, whom many day is also his child. Like Paul, Gene is a malignant narcissist and he is greedy and dangerous. He enjoys intimidating people.
Can't comment much on Singer other than he's a good competent drummer & I hope he's nothing like his employers.
Ace was also no picnic. But there's proof that Paul & Gene planned on bumping him off ages ago & that attitude never changed with them.
Ace is conveniently out of the way by having met his end via blunt force trauma, whose death is still an open unsolved case. Anything that was Kiss died with him October 2025. December 2025 his daughter represented him at the Kennedy Center honors ceremony. Video footage and photos show she was clearly being molested & fondled while terrified to be in the presence of those idiots as well as the child rapist & psychopath murdering war monger that presented the Kennedy recognition.
Long live Paul Daniel Ace Frehley & fck his former bandmates who aren't even a recognizable shadow of themselves anymore.
