He was the drummer and singer of the band. Peter was the mellow side of KISS, singing hits like “Beth” and “Hard Luck Woman,” but he also brought the fire into songs like “Black Diamond” and “Nothin’ to Lose.” Peter’s first solo album came out in 1978 along with the other 3 member’s solo albums. The album was the least favorite of the four because it strayed away from the “KISS sound” and focus on the mellow sounds which Criss favored (Criss grew up listening to crooners like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra).
