Don't get me wrong, this gal loves Kiss but not the mockery the band became from 2002 to now!! You are getting Paul & Gene's story as always!! You didn't get the part where Gene went to Ace's birthday in 2002! Gene showed up to beg Ace to come back!! There is video proof of Gene carrying the cake to Ace!!
Should Ace & Peter gotten equal pay & say during the reunion to farewell tour, YES! What people fail to realize is Kiss was just another band who couldn't sell out arena's during the non makeup years! The conventions were for nostalgic reason & they basically touch on that in this documentary!! Ace & Peter put them back on top & selling out stadiums & arena's once again! That shows why they should have been equal!!
Also, was Ace & Peter to blame for the band falling apart in the late 70's, not completely! Gene & Paul are just as much to blame as the other two!! Paul was partying with Ave & Peter but cleaned up around 77! When Gene & Paul seen the cracks forming, they should have taken a step back & said, we need a brake for the sack of the band!! They didn't do that & carried on with album after album, tour after tour & merchandise! Kiss comic, really? Ace has talked many times about the band becoming merchandising & Peter talked many times about album tour, album tour, album tour & so on then a lame movie!! He was burnt out but Paul & Gene couldn't see it!!
You have to look at the whole picture & not just what they say individually or a team like Gene & Paul!! Gene & Paul refused to play a couple of songs with Ace & Peter at the R&R hall of fame induction for crying out loud!! To Gene & Paul, Kiss hasn't been a band for decades but a BUSINESS!! As long as they can keep making that money, they will keep pushing merchandise out & continue to put imposters up on stage!! Those two could have easily taken the makeup back off & carried on without conflict among those of us in the Kiss Army!!
