Биография
KISS — американская рок-группа, получившая огромную известность в 1970—1980 годах, игравшая в жанрах глэм/шок/хард-рока и известная своим сценическим макияжем и концертами-шоу, сопровождаемыми различными пиротехническими эффектами.
Группа появилась на свет в 1972, хотя ее основатели, Джин Симмонс (Gene Simmons, p. 25 августа 1949, Хайфа, Израиль, настоящее имя Юджин Кляйн (Eugene Klein); бас, вокал) и Пол Стэнли (Paul Stanley, p. 20 января 1950, Куинс, Нью-Йорк, настоящее имя Пол Стэнли Айзен (Paul Stanley Eisen); гитара, вокал) познакомились двумя годами раньше и уже успели испытать себя в самодеятельных группах The Rainbow и Wicked Lester. Через объявление в Rolling Stone они нашли барабанщика: Питер Крисс (Peter Criss, p. 27 декабря 1947, Бруклин, настоящее имя Питер Крисскола (Crisscoula), уже играл с второразрядными командами (Lips и Chelsea) и даже записывался для MCA.
Продолжая днем ходить на работу (Кляйн, например, учительствовал), они репетировали вечерами. Осенью 1972, по объявлению, вычитанному в газете Village Voice, их отыскал гитарист Пол Дэниел “Эйс” Фрейли (Paul Daniel Ace Frehley, p. 22 апреля 1951, Бронкс). Теперь настало время активных действий. Перебрав несколько названий (от эффектного Love Gun до неудобоваримого Bullfrog Beer — так называлась одна из школьных групп Джина), они остановились на коротком KISS и начали готовить свою атаку на Нью-Йорк, США.
30 января 1973 KISS дебютировали в клубе Coventry в Куинсе и сразу же собрали обильный урожай разноречивых откликов. Если их музыкальный багаж (несколько рок-н-ролльных стандартов и пара бледных оригиналов) остался незамеченным, то об имидже сказать этого было явно нельзя. Доведя до абсолюта придуманный Бауи образ “рок-звезды со звезд”, KISS предстали на сцене в виде четырех бесполых и эффектно одетых монстров, лица которых скрывал искусный грим — в соответствии с выбранным для каждого образом: “ящер” Симмонс, “красавчик” Стэнли, “космический ас” Фрейли, “кот” Крисс. Через несколько недель на KISS натолкнулся безработный телережиссер Билл Окойн (Bill Aucoin), который стал их менеджером и в начале следующего года организовал контракт с Casablanca.
Несмотря на мощную рекламную кампанию (она включала даже марафонский “чемпионат поцелуев”), вышедший в феврале альбом Kiss был только 87-м, а появившийся осенью Hotter Than Hell дотянул до утешительной 100-й строки в Топ100. Критика освистала прямолинейный хард KISS и в пух и прах разнесла их “космический” маскарад, но Окойн не отступился. По слухам, грандиозное турне группы весной 1975 оказалось настолько убыточным, что он был принужден покрывать долги из собственного кармана, но уже к лету ситуация ощутимо изменилась. Новый альбом, Dressed To Kill, поднялся до 32-ой отметки, а выпущенный по следам турне Kiss Alive оказался 9-м и в том же году получил “платиновый диск”. Извлеченная из альбома Rock And Roll All Nite принесла KISS первый успех в сингл-списке (№ 12).
Умело манипулируя рекламой (не просто майки и значки, но куклы с хорошо узнаваемыми лицами и комиксы в Marvel, незаурядный фан-клуб, а целая Kiss Army), Окойн быстро превратил KISS в новую подростковую моду. Концерты KISS поражали воображение обилием трюков: взрывные устройства, холодильные установки, полицейские мигалки и сирены, самовозгорающиеся гитары и летающие по воздуху барабаны. Центральная фигура шоу, Симмонс на сцене глотал пламя (настоящее!) и плевался кровью (фальшивой!). Не пугаясь многомесячных турне и постоянно совершенствуя свои представления, к середине 70-х годов KISS стали одной из наиболее сценичных групп мира. Если в декабре 1974 KISS разогревали зал для Blue Oyster Cult, то через год ситуация изменилась с точностью до наоборот.
Следующий диск, Destroyer, продюсировал знаменитый Боб Эзрин, хотя на качестве материала это почти не сказалось. Единственным исключением стала неожиданно мелодичная баллада Beth (которую Крисс посвятил своей жене Лидии [Lydia Criss] ), № 7.
Kiss — The Originals (альбом из трех первых пластинок группы) включал буклет с изложенной в комиксах историей группы. Графика в манере комиксов на некоторое время стала основным элементом художественного стиля группы: так же были оформлены следующие альбомы Rock And Roll Over (1976) и Love Gun (1977), № 4 (их высшее достижение в чартах).
25-27 августа 1977 KISS дали три концерта в Лос-анджелесском зале Forum, положенные в основу их второго концертного альбома (1978). Он же принес группе четвертый “платиновый диск”.
В октябре 1978 участники группы одновременно выпустили по сольному альбому. Все они стали “платиновыми”, хотя степень успеха была различной: Симмонс поднялся до 22-й строки, Фрейли до 26-й, Стэнли до 40-й, а Крисс до 43-й. Одновременно NBC выпустила на телеэкраны страны мультик Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park, в котором бравая четверка доблестно сражалась с сумасшедшим профессором-берсеркером. Marvel издал очередную книжку комиксов, красная краска в которых якобы содержала кровь четырех музыкантов (!).
Хотя изданный в мае 1979 танцевальный хит I Was Made For Lovin’ You (написана Стэнли вместе с будущим хитмэйкером Десмондом Чайлдом и продюсером Винни Понша) была 11-й в США и 50-й в Англии (их первое появление в чартах Британии), а вышедший следом альбом Dynasty 9-м, звезда KISS начала понемногу закатываться: на фоне агрессии и эпатажа панков их “картонные” ужасы выглядели неубедительно.
В январе 1980 Крисс, чьи авторские амбиции давно выходили за рамки KISS, покинул группу, а позднее без видимых результатов играл с Criss-Penridge Alliance, Balls Of Fire, группой своего имени и т.д. В записи очередного альбома Unmasked его заменял Антон Фидж (Anton Fig), который позднее играл с Robert Gordon и Spider, а в июле на концерте в нью-йоркском Palladium с KISS на сцену вышел барабанщик Эрик “Лис” Карр (Eric Fox Carr, p.12 июля 1953, Бруклин, настоящее имя Пол Каравелла (Paul Caravella)). Этот состав сделал на удивление симпатичный альбом Music From ‘The Elder’ — саундтрек к вымышленному фильму с текстами Лу Рида, записанный Эзрином в своей излюбленной бархатно-оркестровой манере: с хором и массой струнных. Как ни странно, альбом был весьма популярен в Англии.
В августе 1982 уставший от своей роли в KISS Эйс ушел, чтобы объявиться во главе своих Frehley’s Comet (причем, барабанил у него Фидж). На время ближайшего турне его заменил — на полпути из Balance в SKULL — Боб Кулик (Bob Kulick), а в следующем альбоме дебютировал новый музыкант Винни Винсент (Vinnie Vincent, p. в 1952, настоящее имя Винсент Кузано (Vincent Cusano)), карьера которого начиналась в хардовых группах Treasure и Warrior. Этот альбом, Creatures Of The Night, был посвящен памяти умершего незадолго до его выхода босса Casablanca Нила Богарта, но по иронии судьбы стал последней работой KISS для фирмы.
Летом 1982 они были вынуждены отменить трехдневные гастроли в Аргентине: местные экстремисты объявили, что готовы предотвратить концерт группы “даже ценой человеческих жизней”. 18 сентября 1982 KISS опять привлекли внимание, впервые появившись в программе MTV без грима. Новый имидж был запечатлен на обложке Lick It Up (1983) — их сравнительно удачного дебюта на Mercury, хотя лишь вышедший годом позже Animalize вернул им статус “платиновых” артистов. К выходу этого альбома в группе произошли новые перемены: Винсент решил возглавить собственную группу Vinnie Vincent’s Invasion, а на его место в мае 1984 пришел Марк Сент-Джон (Mark St. John, p. 7 февраля 1956, настоящее имя Марк Нортон (Marc Norton)). Впрочем, Сент-Джон задержался всего на полгода: в декабре он заболел и был вынужден оставить группу (а позднее играл с White Tiger, Alice Cooper и группой Пита Крисса! Очередным гитаристом стал брат Боба Брюс Кулик (Bruce Kulick, p.12 декабря 1953), бывший участник BlackJack, Good Rats и Billy Squier Band.
В 80-е годы популярность KISS поменяла полюса: в США группу слушали все меньше, зато в Британии их акции начали неуклонно расти. Свидетельством этого стал альбом Crazy Nights (1987): № 65 в США и № 4 в Англии и его заглавная вещь — № 18 и № 4 соответственно. Памятуя о своей трудной юности, Джин Симмонс всегда поддерживал молодых и менее удачливых артистов, в частности, Angel и Giuffria. Прирожденный актер, он дебютировал в кино в 1984 эпизодической ролью в Runaway, а двумя годами позже сыграл сразу две главные роли: в Never Young To Die (с Р. Экелундом и Дж. Лэзенби) и Trick Or Treat (с Ozzy Osbourne). В том же году он спродюсировал альбом W.O.W. экс-вокалистки The Plasmatics Венди О. Уильямс. Позже Джин работал в этом качестве с Black’n’blue (два альбома) и House Of Lords. В 1988 он открыл собственный лэйбл Simmons Records.
В 1989 KISS выпустили довольно неплохой альбом Hot In The Shade, после чего замолчали почти на три года — как стало известно позже, причиной этого молчания стала болезнь Карра, который умер от рака 24 ноября 1991 (в тот же день, когда по другую сторону Атлантики скончался Freddie Mercury). За барабаны сел Эрик Сингер (Eric Singer), барабанщик Black Sabbath и Badlands. Новый состав в 1992 записал мощный рок-н-ролльный альбом Revenge и кавер двадцатилетней давности хита Argent God Gave Rock’n’roll To You, который был включен в популярную киноленту Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey и вернул имя группы в “пятерку” британских чартов. На следующий год KISS достойно отметили двадцатилетие, выпустив свой третий концертный альбом Kiss Alive III.
В 1994, на волне тотальной моды на всевозможные кавер-версии, Mercury сделала альбом-посвящение Kiss my ass, в котором песни KISS исполняли как стилистически близкие (Anthrax), так и довольно далекие от них (Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder) артисты. Летом 1995 оригинальный состав KISS дал концерт в одном из нью-йоркских клубов. Разогревали зал их вечные партнеры The Tubes. После группа вновь воссоединилась оригинальным составом. Состоялся очень успешный реюнион тур. В 1997 увидел свет альбом Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions. Саунд на нём довольно тяжелый по сравнению с предыдущими работами, а сам альбом получился довольно слабый. В 1998 вышел Psycho Circus, записанный оригинальным составом. Альбом также получился тяжеленьким, но, в отличии от предшественника, он возвращает нас к забойному hard rock 70-х. В 2001 группу снова покидает Питер Крисс, на его место обратно приходит Эрик Сингер, затем уходит и Эйс Фрейли. Вместо него взяли бывшего гитариста Black’n’blue Томми Сэера - старого фаната KISS. В 2003 грандиозное шоу KISS Symphony (за ударной установкой Питэр), сыгранное на самом большом стадионе Австралии в сопровождении Мельбурнского симфонического оркестра. В 2004 Rock the Nation тур. В 2008 «35 Alive» тур. Впервые за 9 лет KISS возвращаются в Европу. И из новостей сегодня, в 2009 году в Conway Recording Studios был записан ещё один альбом группы под названием Sonic Boom. Альбом был тепло принят как критиками, так и слушателями. Первым альбом был выпущен в Италии 2 октября.

Animalize is an album by the American hard rock/heavy metal band Kiss. In a continuation of the commercial resurgence begun with Lick It Up, Animalize was certified platinum by the RIAA on December 12, 1984.[2] It was the highest-selling Kiss album since 1977's Alive II.
The album marked the only appearance by lead guitarist Mark St. John, who replaced Vinnie Vincent in April 1984. St. John would be forced to leave Kiss during the subsequent tour after being diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome. By November 1984 he was out of the band; the third lead guitarist to exit the band in two years.
When asked what 'Animalize' meant, Stanley said that people were starting to become more like computers - and that "making music by pressing buttons" was no fun.
Mark St. John (aka Mark Norton) has stated that when recording this record, he had utilized his Rockman gear, and that heavy equalization was used to take the "Boston" sound out of the recording.[citation needed]
Throughout the years, "Heaven's on Fire" has been the only song in the album played regularly on live performances.

Asylum is an album by the American hard rock band Kiss. It features the debut of lead guitarist Bruce Kulick, who played with the band on their Animalize tour and officially replaced Mark St. John in September 1984. He was the band's third lead guitarist since the departure of Ace Frehley in late 1982.[1] This new lineup of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Carr, and Kulick would last for 6 years until Carr's death in November 1991.
Paul Stanley stated on the 1987 Kiss Home Video release eXposed that Asylum is actually certified Platinum, although the RIAA database lists it only as Gold.[2]
The colour of the lips on the sleeve mimic the colors of the 1978 solo releases: red for Simmons, purple for Stanley, blue for the lead guitarist (here Kulick, rather than Ace Frehley) and green for the drummer (here Carr, rather than Peter Criss).
The tour for this album featured the largest Kiss logo on stage the band has ever used, as well as one of the largest lighting rigs. No concert footage of this tour was used in the Kissology II release, minus silent film which is overshadowed by graphics in the menu.
The three videos for the album were filmed on set in London, England.
"Tears Are Falling" was the only song in the album played regularly on live performances throughout the years. Like many of the band's songs of the mid-80s, it was rarely played after the reunion of the original lineup. The song was resurrected in the band's set list during their 2004 Rock the Nation Tour.

Revenge is a studio album by Kiss, released in 1992. It was the band's first album after the death of long-time drummer Eric Carr in November 1991. His replacement, Eric Singer, had played with Black Sabbath, Badlands, Brian May and Alice Cooper, among others.
The album was dedicated to Carr, and the last track ("Carr Jam 1981") was a demo he had recorded soon after joining the group. One modification to the song, however, was the dubbing of Bruce Kulick's guitar over Ace Frehley's, which originally appeared. The main riff of the song was used as the basis for the Frehley's Comet song "Breakout," found on 1987's Frehley's Comet.
For Revenge, Kiss re-established ties with a pair of old associates—producer Bob Ezrin and guitarist/songwriter Vinnie Vincent. Ezrin had last worked with the group on 1981's ill-fated concept album, Music from "The Elder". Prior to that, he produced the band's highly successful Destroyer album in 1976.
Vincent, who in December 1982 had replaced original guitarist Ace Frehley, was fired from Kiss at the conclusion of their Lick It Up tour in March 1984, for reasons that have never been fully explained. Vincent received co-writing credit for three songs on Revenge.
"God Gave Rock 'N Roll To You II", originally recorded for the soundtrack to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, was the last Kiss song to feature a performance by Eric Carr. Carr, too ill to play drums on the song, provided background vocals.
"God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II", "Unholy", and "Domino" are the songs from the album that have endured as regular Kiss live staples. "I Just Wanna" and "Take It Off" were played on the Revenge tour and appeared on Alive III, and "Every Time I Look at You" was performed on Kiss Unplugged.
It was certified Gold (500,000 units sold) on July 20, 1992.[2]

KISS ALIVE III Mercury/PolyGram 514-647-1 (US, red colored vinyl) Vinyl Rip Flac

Alive III is a live album released by the American hard rock band Kiss in 1993, and certified gold in 1994.
The recording of Alive III took place over multiple dates (in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis) during the band's 1992 tour in support of Revenge. It was the first live album the band had released since 1977's Alive II, and the first live recordings released since 1985's "Animalize Live Uncensored" concert film.
The recording of "I Was Made For Lovin' You", was actually recorded at one of the bands' soundchecks, but had the crowd overdubbed in the song to make it appear as if it is "live" which led to speculation that many other songs on "Alive III" could be overdubbed. Additionally, the fact that keyboardist Derek Sherinian appears on Alive III leads to much speculation that the band faked vocal parts on stage, specifically Gene Simmons, as he had done so on the "Hot In The Shade" tour in 1990. (This is evidenced by unmixed bootleg videos from two of the Auburn Hills concerts.) The band has been very secretive about having side keyboard players on possibly many of their tours through the 80's and early 90's. Kiss fans are no stranger to the fact that some of Alive! and Alive II had certain parts doctored in the studio, and that some of the songs are not even recorded "live" in concert but at Electric Lady Studios with Eddie Kramer.
One prime example of editing is the song "I Just Wanna", because the live version had Paul and the audience singing "I Just Wanna Fuck". In order to avoid a Mature Audiences label, they edited to the tamer "I Just Wanna Fuh".
The album also has other differences compared to its two predecessors, such as being the only live Kiss album released during the group's non-makeup era excluding Kiss Unplugged, released later in 1996. During the recording of Alive II, Kiss did not want to duplicate songs from Alive!, although some songs from Alive III are duplicate songs from their previous live albums. For example, "Rock and Roll All Nite" was performed on Alive! and again on Alive III, but was not featured on Alive II. Last, it is the first Kiss live album to feature a different lineup to the previous two, which featured the original lineup.
The liner notes of Alive III include a family tree showing the various Kiss lineups from 1973-1993, as well as bands that the then-current and former members of Kiss were in. It was designed by the band's Japanese fan club. Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, for whom Singer drummed 1986-87, is misnamed Tommy.
The re-release of Alive III (as part of the Kiss Alive! 1975-2000 box set) contains an additional track, "Take It Off", thus matching the original international CD and US vinyl versions of the album.
Alive III was certified Gold by the RIAA on October 27, 1994.[1]

Kiss Unplugged is a Kiss album featuring the group performance in MTV Unplugged.
On August 9, 1995, hard rock band Kiss performed on MTV Unplugged in what fans consider the beginning of the eventual Kiss Reunion Tour. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons contacted former members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley and invited them to participate in the event. Fan reaction to Criss and Frehley at the Unplugged show was so positive that, in 1996, the original lineup of Kiss reunited, with all four original members together for the first time since 1980. It also marked the only time the original lineup performed live without their trademark makeup, other than at Ace Frehley's wedding, and was also the only time Frehley and Criss shared a stage with Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick. Further, it was the first time Eric Singer had part of a lead vocal (shared with Peter Criss on Nothin' To Lose).
On March 12, 1996, the concert was released on CD, and on December 18, 2007, the Kissology Volume Three: 1992–2000 DVD set was released. This included the original DVD release of the concert plus five previously unreleased songs: "Hard Luck Woman" (with Paul Stanley on vocals), "Heaven's on Fire," "Spit," "C'mon and Love Me" and the infamous country version of "God of Thunder."
The LP version of this album includes a poster and some were pressed on yellow marbled vinyl.

Sonic Boom is the 19th studio album and the first in 11 years from rock band Kiss, released on October 6, 2009.[14]
The album was recorded at Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood, CA and produced by the band's co-leader Paul Stanley and co-produced by Greg Collins.[15] A fan routed North American tour is expected to promote the album as well as international shows throughout 2010, which includes the band headlining the Rock am Ring festival in Germany.
The cover artwork was created by artist Michael Doret who has worked with Kiss previously to create the cover of their 1976 album Rock and Roll Over.[16] Wal-Mart is the exclusive distributor of the album in the US and Canada,[14] selling it as a three disc package including the new album, the album Kiss Klassics (a completely re-recorded greatest hits album already and exclusively released in Japan as Jigoku-Retsuden), and six song live DVD recorded April 5, 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina as part of the South American leg of the Kiss Alive/35 World Tour. The album will be sold as a digipak including a 20 page booklet. The album's first single was announced on the band's official website to be "Modern Day Delilah".[13]
The album was also released on limited edition 180 gram vinyl and was pressed into five colors (red, green, black, blue and purple) with 1000 copies pressed of each.[17]

Singles
Modern Day Delilah
"Modern Day Delilah" was announced and released as the lead single off of Sonic Boom on August 19, 2009 to radio. The song was Kiss' first single release in 11 years, the song's predecessor being "You Wanted the Best" which was released in 1998 off the band's Psycho Circus album. Due to early previews of the album, the song has gained positive feedback from both critics and fans, and has been compared to the band's '70s work.[15][18] The song is currently being played on the KISS Alive/35 World Tour.
The music video for this song leaked online on the first days of December and was officially released on December 9, 2009 and premiered on Yahoo! The video is topped and tailed by footage of giant sized members of Kiss walking through Detroit. The video went on to top UK music video channel Scuzz's "Most Rockin: Viewer Request Show" chart on December 3, 2009.
The single was released as 磁力下载(论坛代下载服务):able Content for Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero in 11/19/09 besides the singles: "I Was Made for Lovin' You" and "Lick It Up".[19]
Modern Day Delilah peaked at #50 on the Billboard Rock songs chart. [20]
Say Yeah
The song was added to their shows on their Kiss Alive/35 World Tour roughly halfway through the fifth leg. Later on, it was mentioned during Kiss' Facebook concert broadcast that "Say Yeah" was going to be the next single off of Sonic Boom. Finally, on December 5, it was announced that the single would be released to radios on December 8.[13] The single was released on the second week of January 2010 in Argentina. Say Yeah also hit #1 on February 5, 2010 on a Russian Radio Chart after debuting at #11.
Reception
Sonic Boom debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 108,000 copies in its first week of release.[21] The number 2 position was the highest mark ever reached by the group, beating Psycho Circus' number 3 debut in 1998.[21] It debuted at # 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums, Independent Albums and Hard Rock albums and #5 on the Top European Albums Chart.[22]
As of March 2010, Sonic Boom has sold over 451,000 copies in the U.S. alone.[citation needed]. On January 9, 2010, it was announced that Sonic Boom has gone gold in Norway, selling in excess of 15,000 units.[23]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hot in the Shade

Genre Glam metal, hard rock
Length 58:39

Professional reviews

Hot in the Shade is a Kiss album released in 1989. It was certified Gold on December 20, 1989 by the RIAA.[1] It is the first Kiss studio album since 1981's Music From "The Elder" to feature three members singing lead on the album. It also marked the last Kiss album with drummer Eric Carr before his death in 1991.
Featuring 15 songs, Hot in the Shade contains the largest amount of material of any of Kiss's studio albums. Consequently, the album is also one of the band's longest, with a running time of nearly a full hour (58:39).
Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley appeared in Kiss makeup for the first time since their 1983 unmasking in the video for "Rise to It." Although the scene with Gene and Paul in makeup took place in 1975, the costumes they used were historically inaccurate; Gene's was from the Unmasked (1980) era while Paul's was from Love Gun (1977).
Tommy Thayer, who co-wrote "Betrayed" and "The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away," eventually became Kiss's permanent lead guitarist in 2002, replacing Ace Frehley as "The Spaceman."
Kiss performed the song "Hide Your Heart" on their 1990 Hot in the Shade tour, which followed this album. Stanley would once again perform the song during his 2006-2007 Live to Win solo tour.
Aside from Kiss's performance of "Hide Your Heart" and the band's performance of "Forever" on Kiss Symphony: Alive IV, the album has been largely ignored on live shows following the reunion of the original lineup in the mid-1990s.

Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is a greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss. It was the third hits album overall but the second such album released by the band in the United States (Killers was not released in the United States originally). Of the 15 songs on the album, two were new compositions and three were released after the band's unmasking in 1983. The remaining ten were all released during the band's years in makeup.
It was certified 2x Platinum on February 26, 1996, when it sold 2,000,000 copies,[1] Kiss' only album of the non-makeup era to achieve that RIAA status officially.
Contents
New songs
The two new songs on Smashes, Thrashes & Hits were "Let's Put The X In Sex" and "(You Make Me) Rock Hard," which feature the same polished production style as 1987's Crazy Nights. They were both produced and co-written by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley, and were accompanied by videos that received moderate airplay on MTV.
New versions
Nearly all of the songs recorded by the band's original lineup were altered in one way or another. One song, "Beth," was re-recorded with lead vocals by then-drummer Eric Carr,[2] who had replaced the original drummer Peter Criss in 1980.
