classicguns4life Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just when everything is going already, count on Gene to ruin everything. He can go fuck himself to be honest. The only good news is Ace and Peter will still have to accept the award and I guarantee Ace will say something great.But seriously, fuck Gene. No reason to really induct them if they aren't going to at least reunite. They still deserve it, but this makes it a lot less special:http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/gene_simmons_ace_and_peter_will_not_perform_with_kiss_at_rock_hall_of_fame.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That is absolute bullshit. I understand feelings get hurt, people leave bands, etc but this is about honoring the group that made the impact. Ace and Peter have every right to play up there as Paul and Gene do. And I distinctly remember a couple of years ago Gene said the original line up will play one more time in their life- the hall of fame. What changed? It wasnt that long ago. What an asshole.Same logic applies to GNR- Slash and the rest of the ex members had every right to play as Axl does.Found it http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/gene_simmons_only_1_more_kiss_reunion_to_do.htmlYou are a grade A jagoff, Gene Simmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) The backlash on this should be interesting (because a reunion would be "for the fans") , and Paul Stanley hasn't said anything about it. Hopefully they won't perform at all and can just go up and get their trophies. Edited October 21, 2013 by dalsh327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Bullshit!!!! Why the fuck is he going to let Tommy and Eric wear Ace and Peter's makeup and play Ace and Peter's songs but not let Ace and Peter play?? Hey Gene, reminder Peter Criss wrote your best song.

classicguns4life Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Total different story with Purple. Obviously Blackmore should play as he IS the Deep Purple guy. But he doesn't play rock anymore, so I completely understand (even though I'd be annoyed) with that reasoning as it makes sense. He's just over that period, so either he'll accept and won't play or just won't show.With KISS its a total different story. Gene DID explicitly say they would reunite for the Hall Of Fame, as they should. Any other way for them to go up would be stupid. But unsurprisingly in Gene fashion, the stupid route is the way they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Gene must be feeling the need to reconfirm to the world what a wanker he is...Peter did fuck up big time on the first go around, but he was treated very poorly during the reunion and didn't deserve that.Ace wanted out, both times. Gene and Paul begged him not to leave originally-I don't think he cares about reuniting again cause he walked away (again) in the end.What is so annoying is that KISS under Gene and Paul were in the wasteland in the mid 90's, and it was Ace and Peter's return that made them a huge attraction again.

Its actually just classic Gene.What I don't even get is he won't be fooling anybody. Ace and Peter will be up there to accept the award. He's not fooling anybody, and there's no reason they can't play together for one night. Probably has to do with the same reason as GNR, that if people see the real thing they'll stop seeing the current imitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) The other question of course is, will Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer be nominated (or for that matter, will Vinnie, Bruce and Eric Carr - posthumously)?

wfuckinga Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The other question of course is, will Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer be nominated (or for that matter, will Vinnie, Bruce and Eric Carr - posthumously)?Kulick probably, Carr probably, Vicent is debatable. He was on Lick It Up, which was overall an awful album. Thayer and Singer will probably be, although Tommy is nothing more than KISS' old tour manager in Ace's makeup to me.

DieselDaisy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Although I like Lick it Up, Vincent is also on Creatures which is Kiss's last masterpiece. Judging from this news, I think Gene and Paul are going to force the HoF's hand over Thayer and Singer in the same way that Metallica did over Trujillo. I think all nine members/ex-members have done enough to be included really, unlike Dizzy Reed, but the original band should be the ones to perform. Probably the last chance to see the originals. Odds on them playing RNRAN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the first two albums and Destroyer.This award show has a problem in that no band seems to have a stable line up. I would have thought Gene would have stepped up and done the right thing for the money. I guess there is no money in it, it's like you say it just kills, or harms whatever they are doing currently. But it's Kiss, does anyone take them seriously? They look like they just escaped from the circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Deep Purple should be interesting because I could see them just including the Mark II lineup, that would cause such an uproar with the guitar community not including Tommy Bolin and Steve Morse. Ian Paice and Ritchie Blackmore had said in the past they aren't attending if the band's inducted, but as Paice is still an active member in the band, might be persuaded to change his mind. I think Blackmore could change his mind, but I know he left on bad terms with the band, but might be in a happier place in his life to get together with them for a night. I don't see a Rock Hall induction as the last chance for it to happen, either. It's a given Eric Carr, Eric Singer, Bruce Kulick and Tommy Thayer will be included (although I've been proven wrong before on inductions... Black Sabbath didn't include Dio and Martin which was messed up) , but not sure about Vinnie Vincent and Mark St John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Do not forget the Mark 3 line-up (Hughes/Coverdale) which has a massive fanbase. The Burn album is considered to be right up there with the Mark 2 classic albums. There tours were still massive during this incarnation (250,00 at the CA Jam!).

classicguns4life Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Deep Purple is gonna be a wild one. I mean, if I were running it, I would just assume you do everyone from Mark 1 to 3. Sort of like a Grateful Dead type thing. A lot of guys kept that band going, and to neglect any of them would be ridiculous. To not include Coverdale and Hughes would be a massive oversight and not make any sense. I could at least understand (although not agree) with where the Hall was coming from with Sabbath. They were inducting the Sabbath that started the metal genre, which is the original 4, not the ones that continued the band after the 70s. I get it. With Deep Purple, you could just induct the Smoke On The Water crew, but that amounts to about 5 years and like 3 or 4 albums if I'm correct. In the MIDDLE of their career. There seems to be no excuse to include everyone, and I honestly haven't considered they'd fuck that up although that easily could happen.I also hadn't considered them fucking up the Kiss lineup. It should be Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter. I love and respect Vinnie, Eric Carr, and Bruce Kulick, but I didn't assume they would definitely go in. I wouldn't be upset if they did, but it really makes their contributions seem bigger than they actually were. Carr and Kulick stuck around for awhile and deserve it, and anyone in KISS would say that, but I just didn't think of them as naturally going in. Its similar to Sabbath in that they are definitely that clear second incarnation that wasn't nearly as influential but critical to the legacy. I don't think Vinnie did enough to warrant an induction. And inducting Tommy and Eric Singer, who are genuinely nice guys, would be as dumb as honoring current GNR. That would be the luckiest break for them ever, but I guess it did happen with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist who joined like a year before the induction. I hadn't consider how stupid inducting Tommy and Eric would be and I sincerely hope that doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
