Peter Criss
Peter Criss
As everyone knows I only really like two Kiss members VV and Peter Criss.
This song cracks me up.. its like amazing and terrible at the same time which is why I love it. I like tunes that you can not tell if they are good or bad.. on the line of good and evil..

The thing with Peter's Out Of Control album is I didn't even know it existed until I found it at a second hand store (where I also scored Creatures on original vinyl) one day.
Being 6/7 years old when Peter left, I didn't hear that he released his own album in 1980, being recorded when he was still meant to be in Kiss.
I looked at that record wondering, is it THAT Peter Criss, that's how little I knew about it.
Seeing the Casablanca stuff and Stan Pendridge's name helped me decide and I took it home for a listen.
As I actually like his Kiss solo album I also really do like Out Of Control, the whole album.
Strangely enough I have ignored Let Me Rock you this whole time and only have a taped recording of it somewhere. I almost bought them both on CD years ago and wish I had.
His recent solo album I did buy as an autographed CD and it's unlistenable. I hope he delivers the rock album next as he has said he will.

I don't know what I think of that song, nothing really. It's pretty crap. Not at Hooligan was awesome, but much better than that.doublev wrote:love bite makes me feel like I'm in a rough bar on 8th Ave in the 70s and cops are prowling around outside about to make an arrest of some pimp inside the bar..
Rumble is an interesting tune where he mentions his old gang The Phantom Lords at the start. Dirty Livin' was a much better choice for Dynasty, that songs is great.

i love the mood if love bite.
a little trivia.. my uncle worked on the 'tears are falling video' as focus puller. It was filmed in London, England at the George Lucas soundstage built for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, next to where they also shot the 'Muppet Show' series which he also worked on. If you see the Star Wars episode of the muppet show, they were shooting pretty much in the studio next to them.

Re: Peter Criss
I always thought his drum kit was awesome when I was a kid, but he's always been one of the members I've had the least interest in as far as Kiss goes.

Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!

Watch the movie "Role Models". Paul Rudd says something to the extent of "Even Paul Stanley is sick of Kiss."shramiac wrote:Quote "Even Peter Criss doesn't want to be be Peter Criss, Lois!" Quote, Peter Griffin.
It is a funny movie with many hilarious Kiss references.

Re: Peter Criss
even though I don't think Peter wrote it, I think this was one of his best

Re: Peter Criss
Dino saw my little Ludwig kit. Quite honestly, Peter's drumming style on the 1st six Kiss albums (especially the Hotter Than Hell album) is what gets me behind that kit. Pete and Bun E. Carlos. I love drummers that lay back on the beat yet DRIVE the song. "Strange Ways" is a perfect example of this.

Re: Peter Criss
I think it was an inspired choice by Paul and Gene to bring Peter in as he really wasn't totally the typical drummer you would have expected.
Re: Peter Criss
Peter's drumming was a unique ingredient in what made the original Kiss line-up special.
The Eric/Vinnie line-up was fantastic and suited the early 80's much better, but Peter definitely had an awesome style
