Peter Criss

Founding drummer will be joined by some notable names on the new LP.

In 50-plus years, only 10 people have been able to call themselves members of Kiss.

He claims the original members "should have been" with Kiss for 50 years.

"The only reason they’re not here with us is themselves," says the Kiss bassist.

Simultaneously released debuts "probably put the final nail in the coffin of the band," he later concluded.

They always wanted to be "the Beatles on steroids."

Drummer deliberately ruined three of his final five shows with original lineup.

But he acknowledges some difficulties.

Drummer's first stint ended with a private whimper. He made sure his second departure was loud and public.

Kiss frontman says ex-drummer has a bad attitude.
