I’m looking for a picture/poster of Peter playing the piano in make up, but not having much luck. Does anyone know where I can find this?
This is definitely a hot take, and yes, some people will be very upset. I believe Peter held back KISS during the original run.
Here’s why: It’s no secret that Peter’s drumming style is rooted in Blues and Jazz. Charlie Watts like. If you look at all the other original 3’s style, they had the ability and capability to go more hard rock if they so chose. I don’t believe Peter could. It wasn’t his style.
We all saw the spark that Eric Carr provided when he came into the band. The absolute power he was behind the kit. The power, the skill, the speed. KISS was a different beast when he came into the band (with Ace and makeup still intact). I feel their prime performance were with the Gene Paul Ace and Eric line up. Even without Ace, COTN live footage prove their chops as a hard rock band not to be messed with.
Would love to start the discussion on this. Do you feel Peter held the band back from going more ‘hard rock’ as they progressed into their prime?
