On
August 8, 1995, KISS performed
on MTV Unplugged. Paul
Stanley and Gene Simmons contacted
former members Peter Criss and Ace
Frehley and invited them to participate in the event. Fan reaction to
Criss and Frehley at the Unplugged show was so positive that, in 1996, the
original lineup of KISS reunited, with all four original members together
for the first time since 1979. It also marked the first and only time the
original lineup performed live without their trademark makeup.

" ...Sounding crisper than anyone has a right to expect, Paul Stanley, Gene
Simmons, and the gang remind anyone who still needs reminding that few bands
wrote funnier, more knowing babes-and-fast-times anthems..." - Rating: A
