20 Years Ago: Kiss Make a Surprise Comeback at the Grammys
By Michael Christopher February 13, 2016 11:33 AM



When rap superstar Tupac Shakur came out dressed in a suit by Versace and a medallion around his neck for the Suge Knight-run Death Row Records at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 28, 1996, no one knew what was up his sleeve when he started with, “You all down with this? We’re gonna try to liven it up.”

“You know how the Grammys used to be all straight-lookin’ folks with suits, everybody lookin’ tired, no surprises; we tired of that,” he continued. “We need something different; something new. We need to shock the people. So let’s shock the people.”

Out walked Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley, the original lineup of Kiss appearing in public together in full makeup for the first time since December 1979. They were clad in their outfits from the 1977 Love Gun-era, likely the last time the foursome had gotten along.

“Now…these my homeboys,” Shakur said. “And I’ve seen just about everything now.”

Simmons gave a shout out to the Grammy host city of Los Angeles, while returning members Criss and Frehley expressed their enthusiasm at just being there, no doubt feeling that they were two of the luckiest musicians in greasepaint that night.

It was all over in the blink of an eye after Stanley announced the nominees for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal — an award which, incidentally, went to Hootie & the Blowfish — but the buzz in the rock industry was at an apex following the appearance. Six weeks later, the Demon, Starchild, Catman and the Spaceman would properly announce the Alive/Worldwide Tour on the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City.

The seeds had been sown the summer before when, during the early August 1995 taping for the MTV Unplugged series, Kiss brought Criss and Frehley onstage for five songs at the end of the set. As expected, the reaction to the union with the then-roster, which included drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Bruce Kulick, was gonzo from those in attendance and just as insane to the televised audience when the network aired the concert that Halloween.

Unfortunately for Singer and Kulick, their time together with Kiss was suddenly at an end, which was poor timing as that era of the group was coming off its strongest album in a decade in 1992’s Revenge. The follow-up, Carnival of Souls, was stunted by the reunion, suffering a redshirting and was released with zero fanfare in the fall of 1997. Despite the Alive/Worldwide Tour having come to a close that summer, Stanley and Simmons decided to press their luck with Criss and Frehley, resulting in the disjointed Psycho Circus album in 1998 and ensuing tours which eventually saw the wheels fall off the original lineup for good.

A look at the disastrous Kiss reunion which began in 1996 with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley rejoining the band.

What's going on my fellow rock n' rollers. Don't forget to hit the bell notification icon to be notified every time i put out a new video on my channel. I’ve talked previously about the Kiss reunion tour in 1996, but more in relation to fact that it represented the last tour Alice in Chains would do with frontman Layne Staley. But today i want to talk about how Kiss reunited with their classic lineup and why it was such a failure. Stay tuned for the full story.
Who would’ve thought it would be rapper Tupac Shakur who would’ve introduced the reunited lineup of Kiss to the world. It was the 1996 grammy awards and the rapper introduced the band with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss who strolled on stage in full Kiss makeup. And they were there to present the award for best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. To some, the appearance and announcement of a reunited Kiss wasn’t a huge surprise as the writing was on the wall a year prior when In August of 1995, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss played several Kiss songs during the band’s MTV unplugged appearance.
What followed after the grammy’s appearance was an 18 month llong tour that featured 192 shows. It was something that seemed unimaginable a few years earlier. So how did Kiss get to this point and what happened afterwards?
While Kiss would rise to fame in the mid to late 70’s, by the early 80’s the band’s original and classic lineup was falling apart. The decade was a difficult time for Kiss. By 1982 Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were out of the band and they were replaced. Soon afterwards, the band lost their makeup for a period of time and Gene Simmons seemed to have a diminishing role in the group as he pursued other interests like acting, which I’ve talked about in another video. As a result, guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley took a greater role in leading the band and by the late 80’s, early 90’s Kiss was struggling with their identity as rock n’ roll underwent a massive transformation with the rise of alternative rock. In addition to that Kiss didn’t have a top ten charting record the whole decade.
By 1991 Kiss dealt with tragedy as drummer Eric Carr was found to have a tumor in his heart. While he would be declared cancer free towards the later part of 1991, he would die on November 24th due to several cerebral hemorages. Coincidentally enough he passed away on the same day as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Carr would be replaced eb Alice Cooper’s drummer Eric Singer with some fans blasting the band for continuing on, something Simmons brushed off telling Classic Rock Magazine “Some fans thought that we were insensitive,‘How could the band continue, why didn’t you love him?’ But they weren’t there. They’re not qualified to say" Simmons would remember.

As the band turned their attention to their first record of the 90’s they enlisted producer Bob Ezrin who also worked on the band’s seminal record 1975's Destroyer. The band hoped to repeat the same success with a more back to basics approach, something that partially worked. Appropriately titled Revenge and released in 1992, It was the band’s first album since 1979’s destroyer to chart in the top 10 even if it didn’t have legs. At the end of the day it sold around 500,000 copies, which meant it went gold. But relatively speaking the big bands at the time outsold Kiss many times over. For comparison Nirvana’s Nevermind sold over 11 million copies in the US.
The band would release a stop gap live record titled Alive 3 to tide over fans until their next release. Kiss would soon enlist the help of Alice in Chains producer Toby Wright who had worked with the band on their 1994 EP Jar of Flies, which was a number 1 hit. Wright would recall to Classic Rock “They wanted to follow a little hip trend going on at the time called grunge music ,“The bottom line was, like all artists, they wanted to sell records.I remember getting into a big argument with Gene about the direction of the album “He said he wanted to be like that ‘bald guy, the one that’s on the top of the charts.’ He meant Billy Corgan.
The album would get shelved for several years & It would turn out Kiss got a huge offer to reunite with the original lineup and the album was shelved according to Wright. The reunited lineup of Kiss played their first show at Tiger Stadium in 1996 in June of that year.
