The most interesting part of the whole film was half the band didn’t want to be there. The other half was pissed off because the first half didn’t want to be there. Things were starting to unravel with KISS. It seemed that Gene and Paul took the film seriously. Peter and Ace were clowns the whole time. Then we find out the Ace was loaded the entire movie. I was disappointed in my heroes.
