KISS - your dream line-up?

Well, arrogant or not, Kiss would be missing about 85% of what makes it what it is! It would be like assembling the ultimate Beach Boys lineup, but you don't want Brian Wilson and Mike Love in the band.

Or, more closely tied to an example that encompasses their heroes - it would be like wanting "a Beatles" without Lennon and McCartney.

But I still respect the opinion.

 

Paul
Ace
Gene
Peter

 

Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter. It wasn't the same with out the original lineup.

 

How about a "drummer triple threat":

Peter Criss - vocals, percussion
Ace Frehley - vocals, lead guitar
Eric Carr - bass guitar, vocals
Bruce Kulick - lead guitar, vocals
Eric Singer - drums, percussion

 

My dream line up is of course Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter...but a 20 years ago Peter...for now I would be happy with Gene, Paul, Ace and Singer.

 

I couldn't agree more. Eric Carr and Ace Frehley were a rock n' roll dream team. It doesn't get much better than this..

 

But slightly more seriously, I'd pay to see a seven piece Kiss playing:

Paul Stanley - vocals, rhythm guitar
Gene Simmons - vocals, bass guitar
Ace Frehley - vocals, lead guitar
Bruce Kulick - lead guitar, vocals
Gary Corbett - keyboards, synths
Peter Criss - vocals, percussion
Eric Singer - drums, percussion

 

the original KISS line-up is the best

dream line-up is the MTV Linup which should be the EOTR line-up

-PAUL, GENE, ACE, PETER with Bruce Kulick &Eric Singer

 

Shame they didn't get to do much in the studio. Sure there was the Elder but Ace was pretty much checked-out during the recording and also a shame they kind of wasted Eric on his first album.

But to answer the question Paul, Gene, Eric Carr and Bruce is the answer for me.

 

2001 line up

 

Most definitely! He was a very fine lead player back in the day.

 

I don't like any of the songs listed (Rocket Ride is the only one I don't skip and even that's pretty average) and I only enjoy two songs on his solo record. Different ears and all that! Though as Bartels 76 rightly points out, his solos are usually fab.

I do quite like Strange Ways, Dark Light and Into The Void which aren't often highly rated by other fans. I must be one of those rugged individualists!

 

I’ll give at spin this weekend but I’m more a ABB Live @ the Fillmore East kind of guy!

 

Peter, Paul and Mary I mean Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter, with Eric Carr as the backup for when Peter's elbows start to hurt after the first two songs.

 

For me, Gene,Paul Bruce and Eric.
