The band made up a flood-postponed date in Calgary, Canada, earlier this week. Simmons remains the Demon, while Stanley is the Starchild. The new players assumed the personas of their predecessors - Spaceman (Frehley’s character) and Catman (which is Criss’). Since, both have left again, replaced by Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. Kiss donned their famous makeup again in 1996, when Frehley and Criss returned for a reunion. The band wore make up through its ’83 album Lick It Up, though by then Simmons and Stanley had been joined by Bruce Kulick and the late Eric Carr. Simmons founded Kiss with Paul Stanley in 1973, along with the departed Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. “There have never been makeup people on the side. “The truth is, it’s the same ritual that we started with almost 40 years ago: We physically and literally have put on the makeup every single time,” Simmons tells CNN. No matter how big Kiss has gotten, no many how many years have gone by, one pre-show ritual remains: The putting on of the makeup.
