Peter Criss (Kiss)

This conversation with Peter was recorded on early May 2017 ahead of his second to last-ever show, which took place on May 12 at the Sofitel Ballroom in Melbourne. Peter talks about his first band, Chelsea, his (then) recently released biography, his most significant challenges and his relationship with Australian audiences, among other topics. This chat was among the first dozen I conducted for my indie-journalism pursuits, which is back when I was writing for Hot Metal and Metal Obsession. It wasn't recorded to release as a podcast episode, but there's plenty of gold for the seasoned and new Peter Criss fan to appreciate, which is why I have released it for the first time on YouTube!
