KISS original line-up reunion with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss ‘impossible’ – Paul Stanley
Formed in 1973, the original KISS line-up included leads Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as The Starchild and The Demon – the band’s only two consistent members from founding. When they started out, Ace Frehley played lead guitar as The Spaceman until 1982 and Peter Criss was their drummer as The Catman until 1980. Nevertheless, the original four were reunited from 1996 until the early 2000s.
Since then Tommy Thayer (The Spaceman on lead guitar) and Eric Singer (The Catman on drums) have been consistent members of KISS and are performing on the End of the Road world tour with Stanley and Simmons.
But in a recent interview, Stanley was asked about a reunion with Frehley and Criss.
Speaking on Sirius XM’s Jim & Sam Show, The Starchild legend said: “Well, the original four are the original four. We were the ones who started this and created the template that we still stand by today.
“I think where people go wrong is when they think that things can remain timeless and that time doesn’t take its toll.”
