Paul Stanley has talked about letting KISS continue on even without him and Gene. If you think about it they let Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer emulate Ace Frehley’s and Peter Criss’s roles down to the same type of makeup and outfits.
My co-worker won some contest sponsored by Stanley and Simmons to promote their football team. She said Stanley was classy and a delight to everyone. Simmons was a horses ass.
