Q - Dear Mr Criss.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I am a huge KISS fan , 37 years old.
I am living in Lillestrøm, Norway (outside Oslo).
Hope you can answer some of my questions:
a) What kind of music are you listening to nowadays ?
b) Beside KISS, I am also into bands such as Chicago,
Tower of Power, Steely Dan, TOTO etc...
Have you seen them live ? Do you like them ?
c) One of my favourite drummer was Jeff Porcaro, who
played in TOTO - have you met him ?
d) On your solo albums, you had a lot of great studio
musicians, Steve Lukather, Michael Landau, James
Newton Howard, and on and on....
Do you have contact with some of these people today ?
e) I am reading the great chapter about you in Kiss
Biography (Sharp and Leaf) - besides Gene Krupa,
which other drummers have inspired you ?
f) When can we expect your book as well as jazz album
finished - available in Europe ?
Mr Criss, hope you have time to send me some words.
Take care, Good Luck to you and your career.
Best regards, Per Christian Berg

A - I like Jazz, Latin Jazz and good old Rock and Roll.
B and C- I love all those bands and YES I did met Jeff Porcaro , he was one of the greats.
D - No I don't, but they are the best.

Q -I'm 29 years old fan from Finland and I
just have 2 questions: How does your solo album
proceed? When it'll be out? I wanna thank you Peter, for
all these years and all the wonderful music you've
made. Forever shine on - Sami Moose Hyde

Ace using heroin? Thanks, John
Peter - Hi John, I'll make this shorter and sweeter, NO.

Q - Dear Peter,
I am 11 years old, and KISS was the first live band I
have ever saw. Did you ever toss your drum stick to the
fans like in the movie Detroit Rock City? If you did why
don't you do it any more? Thank you. Jimmy Fivecoat
Peter - Hi Jimmy, There was a time you could throw
drum sticks out to the crowd, but these days, it's a NO NO.
If you hurt someone, you get sued. I was told never
to do it. End of Story. God Bless - The Cat
More Q&A with Peter Criss Coming Soon...
