Kiss says it won't play at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction

The good news is, maybe this will finally clear the decks for Bon Jovi getting in. They can figure out whether Al or Hugh plays at the induction ceremony in the meantime! :D |

According to Ace Frehley:

According to Peter Criss: Quote:
According to Gene and Paul: Quote:
Kiss is indeed a band unlike any other, and as Gene and Paul suggest, they didn't get where they are by jumping through other people's hoops -- up to and including the Hall's. As I said, I think the Hall would have gone with any live lineup that Kiss wanted to offer -- and if not, all Paul and Gene would have had to do was publicly declare that the Hall should take their induction and shove it. Yet Ace and Peter's statements strongly imply that it was Gene and Paul who did the "shooting down." |
You read them any way you like, but to me those quotes are clear: TRRRHOF wanted only the original four, G&P wanted everyone. RRHOF didn't budge so KISS told them to shove it. And kudod to G&P for doing this. RRHOF is a joke.
And all this is being discussed on much better KISS forums than this one. You'll get the same interpretation there. Ice |
Aloha !

Then again, Bon Jovi are probably everything Kiss fans would like Kiss to be. Real. Genuine. Not money grabbing sell outs like Kiss are. Oh nooooo... Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |

What did I say? :P Ice |
If i didnt know better I would suggest this entire debacle is a well staged publicity move. Gene and Paul arent dumb,they knew what the hall's demands were. Now with Ace breaking his silence last week and the fan's backlash(;)) it would appear they were forced to pull out of performing thus creating a media storm.
As soon as the induction was announced and it was obvious that not all KISS members past and present were to be included Gene and Paul should have politely refused to accept the award. The hall never wanted the band inducted in the first place,it is an award from a bunch of suits. The KISS army doesnt need an insignificant award like this to tell us KISS have influenced a generation,their place in the history of rock music is undeniable. |

Negotiations with the Hall of Fame stalled, say Simmons and Stanley, who wanted to include Singer and Thayer, while the Rock Hall wanted a reunion of the original quartet in makeup.What did I say? Gene and Paul are proud to ACCEPT the award with Ace and Peter -- as long as it doesn't result in publicity for them! Quote:
While I still think the root of the problem is that Gene and Paul didn't want to perform with Ace and Criss, they should have refused both the induction and the performance if they felt that strongly about Kulick, Singer, Thayer, and presumably the late Eric Carr also being inducted. Are we supposed to "admire" Kiss for refusing to accept this indisputably-deserved, long-overdue but ultimately insignificant honor in person? I say it makes a mockery of their legacy of refusing to "kiss" the asses of "the suits!" |
