KISS Rock Hall Reunion Would Have Been Disservice Says Stanley
. Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were finally inducted in April and organizers wanted the foursome to perform at the ceremony. But Stanley and Simmons wanted to play with the current band, which includes Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. In the end, neither lineup played live. Stanley tells KNPR News: "They wanted to have the original guys play in the band, and all of us in makeup, and, quite honestly, I think it would have done the band a disservice. That lineup has not been together for 14 years, and physically, perhaps, wouldn't have looked that great, and musically, undoubtedly, probably, would have sounded a bit suspect. "So, to have people watch it on television and identify that as Kiss because there's four guys in makeup would not send a great signal to the people who are not following the band in its current permutation, or what it is today."
