Earlier this week, Paul Stanley revealed that Peter Criss has barred them from using breakthrough ballad ‘Beth’ in the Biography: Kisstory documentary. Criss co-wrote the song alongside friend Stan Penridge and producer Bob Ezrin.
In a new interview with USA Today, Stanley reacted to Peter Criss’ actions, saying: “It's sad, because it's a snapshot of somebody who has made a life of shooting themselves in the foot. When you do things like that, the only person who ultimately gets hurt is you.
“I don't want to throw stones and I don't want to disparage anybody, and at the same time, the truth is the truth. The band could never have existed without Peter and Ace (Frehley) in the beginning, and the band also couldn't exist today with them.â€"
But then. later in the interview... "...Asked if Frehley and Criss had been asked to participate in the documentary, Stanley replied: “We had numerous people ask them and unfortunately, their demands were unrealistic. (They wanted) editing approval and final approval. Once again, it's the usual nonsense and we'll just go forward.â€..." |
I love that they had numerous people ask them to take part maybe if they asked them themselves they might have got a better result.
