The original members of the Kissstarred in a long list of public quarrels. The most recent of these took place in the first half of 2023, the year the band performed their two farewell shows.

These two occupied the vacancy that in the early days were Ace Frehley and Peter Crissultimately absent since the early 2000s.

In various interviews, the two doubles exchanged accusations. Stanley and Simmons claim that drugs have taken the focus of Frehley and CRISSthat define colleagues as tyrants concerned only with money.

The use of the expression piss – which means “pee” literally and serves as slang to something bad – left Ace Extremely upset. Weeks after the statement, the guitarist gave a week for the former partner to call him to apologize. Otherwise, it would expose secrets.

“Paulif you are not listening to me, I know that someone Kiss this. I want my formal apology for what you said and a retraction within seven days. If this does not happen, I will go back to the program and say something rotten that nobody knows about you and Gene And that I always kept for myself, because I’m not the kind of guy who talks about it. I like to talk about positive things. ”

A revelation spoiler: musicians wear wig

According to the guitarist, the call happened. But not the way he expected: in his words, Stanley contacted just to offend it and then shut down.

In a new interview with Eddie Trunk program, he said:

“Paul He called me, not much after the radio show was over. I was even surprised by the call, because I saw his name appear on my cell phone. I spoke to him for that number several times. Then I thought he was calling me to apologize or at least explain why he said that. […] But instead, I received a call from 5 seconds where he said, ‘Go if F#Der, Ace, I won’t apologize.’ And hung up. It was not a man enough even to let me explain why I was upset or anything. ”
