Sorry, but I liked Bruce's playing. Live and in videos he stood planted like a tree, but he had some skills, at least.
Before the first reunion tour, I saw a little flyer for Peter Criss and Ace Frehley playing some dinky little club downtown. A few years later they were invited to join the reunion tour.
I guess they hadn't burned ALL their bridges.
BTW, the Kiss and Makeup books rocks. It's not quite as good as Motley Crue's The Dirt, though.
