Peter Criss 1975 Black Diamond (Kiss) live audio cleaned up

Accept no substitutes only the REAL catman can play and sing lead vocals like this. Listen to that groove! Best drummer/vocalist Kiss ever had.
I cleaned up the audio to bring out Pete's playing, the Kissology source is pretty muffled.

[@drumguy1960]

I don't care what ANYONE says Peter had the most ROCK voice of any member of KISS

I don't care what you said. Paul had the best rock voice in KISS. Peter was a dickhead to boot.

Peter had a great voice, Paul should have stepped to the side and let Peter sing way more songs in the early days, but narcissistic jealous insanity is what actually pissed Peter and Ace off, not just coke and booze, after the the Phantom of the Park stupid movie, Peter said enough of this bullshit, and they made dynasty, which Peter was only on 2 songs and Ace 1!!!

It's easy to see any one of them as the "bad guy" these days. They've all done their shit whether it was greed, drugs, trash talk, etc. But in this footage, it's 4 hungry Rockstar killing it.

We got a drummer who can channel Little Richard with ease, but we're gonna regulate him to being "The Ringo" and give him a song or two to sing. Maybe. The dude could outsing Stanley & Simmons combined. Their egos just could not handle that.

[@ajo3085]

Maybe he should have learned to write some songs himself instead of waiting for hand me downs from the other guys or "co-writes" (cough, cough) with his buddy Stan.

[@DrTomoculus]

Like Simmons and Stanley were even bothered to write songs once their ship came in. They dialled half those songs in once they got to Dressed To Kill. I'm just saying. They had huge talents in their band with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. Those guys cared about THE MUSIC. Those other two were in it for the MONEY. @@ajo3085
