Paul Stanley Calls Former KISS Members Flat Tires

(Classic Rock) Paul Stanley has continued the war of words with former Kiss members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, saying the pair were like "flat tires." Stanley and fellow Kiss member Gene Simmons have sniped at Criss and Frehley repeatedly down the years, since the drummer and guitarist left in 2004 and 2002 respectively.

Stanley tells the Joe Rogan Experience: "It's very difficult to move forward when two of the people are, at times, like flat tires. It becomes more of a problem when their reason for being is to foil and to throw off track what you're trying to do."

Stanley adds that he was happy splitting Kiss revenue evenly at first, until, he says, Frehley and Criss starting contributing less to the band's output. He says: "I never wanted or expected anybody in the band to do necessarily the same amount of work that I did, but I expected them to give 100%.

"I was all for splitting things evenly in the original lineup of the band up until those guys departed the first time, but you have to give your best." Read more here.
