Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider once again criticized Kiss for letting replacement members use the signature stage makeup worn by original guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss.
“I hate what Kiss is doing,” the singer said”I hate what Kiss is doing with the guys with Ace and Peter’s makeup on — I’m not a fan.”
Guitarist Tommy Thayer joined the band in 2002, and drummer Eric Singer first came on board in 1991, taking over after the death of Eric Carr. Thayer and Singer currently wear the makeup designs of Frehley and Criss, respectively.
Snider previously blasted Kiss’ makeup move in 2015. “I don’t see how people could accept this,” he told Eddie Trunk. “Tommy Thayer? I’m sorry. It’s insulting. Not only did he play with a tribute band of Kiss, he’s imitating Ace in his entire act!”
Responding to Snider’s 2015 comments, Kiss’ Paul Stanley responded with this: “Let me put it in the simplest terms. In this case, this guy is a wannabe, has always been a wannabe and desperately wants attention and to be taken seriously, and that will never happen because he’s obviously clueless to the fact that he and his whole band are a bunch of buffoons.”
Oooh Snap! Dee shoulda learned his lesson back then.
