A Letter from Ginger
Hi Peter,
It was such a honor to play with you the other night at the 93.3 WMMR MMR*B*Q.
It's one of those times when if someone told me when I was 13 years old that a few years from now I will be playing on stage in front of 25,000 people with Peter Criss, I would have said "You're Insane". What a dream come true. Being a drummer has always been an uphill climb. To work and work for so many years, & then to be disrespected by others in this industry is so disheartening. I can't thank you and Rob enough for showing me such respect, and allowing me to be a part of such a magical moment. The mere thought of stepping down while I watch the others bask in the moment just isn't the Zombie way. Rob cares that everyone has a wonderful time, including his drummer. The party is just beginning. I look forward to spending the next decade talking with you, & learning how to be so respectable to others, so one day I might return the favor.
Sincerely,
Ginger

A Letter from Mike Portnoy
Peter Criss will always be one of my biggest drum heroes...seeing Kiss live at Madison Square Garden in 1977 was absolutely a life-altering experience for me.
Getting to play with Peter last year was one of the highlights of my career. It was my honor to give up my drum seat for him to play a few songs on my kit with Ace Frehley...and then to be able play WITH him for the finale was one of those unforgettable moments that I will cherish forever...
Long live the Catman!
Mike Portnoy

Official Statement from Peter Criss
Regarding Rock and Rock Hall of Fame Induction
To KISS fans,
It's disappointing to have to say to you, the fans, that as of today, Ace and I have been denied a performance with Gene and Paul for our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Tickets go on sale on Monday, Feb. 24th, and I wanted to make sure that fans understood that no original performance, in or out of makeup, has been offered to us before they purchased their tickets. This is disgraceful and I feel bad for the fans who were looking forward to the four of us being inducted together.
God Bless,
Peter Criss - The Catman
