PETER CRISS Says 'Fair' Split Is The Only Way He Would Take Part In Original KISS Reunion

July 30, 2007

Syndicated radio host and VH1 Classic VJ Eddie Trunk conducted a short interview with original KISS drummer Peter Criss on July 16. Watch the four-minute clip — which aired on the MSG network — at this location. A partial transcript of the chat follows:

Q: It doesn't sit right with you the way things ended with KISS.

Peter: No. It looks like… To me, we repeated history… 'kisstory.' It's like we had a great chance to make it right, I felt — to make everything right, to make it all right again, and to really walk away the right away. It didn't happen, and it really distraught me. I wish it would've.

Q: Is there a side of you or something inside of you that kind of says you wish there could be some sort of closure on this?

Peter: Absolutely. I would have loved to walk away hugging and kissing and really feeling like champions.

Q: Do you hope for a day that you can do that? The question I am asking is, would you go down that road one last time with all four of the guys if there was one chance — just one show — to really put a bow on it?

Peter: It would have to be fair baseball. It really would. For me, it would have to be really fair. And you know what I'm talking about. It would have to be fair — like really fair — and I would. And that's the only way it would have to be. One, two, three, four — fair. Everybody walks away fair. Nobody walks away with more than the others — that's not fair.
