List of Kiss members

Kiss is an American hard rock band from New York City, New York. Formed in 1973, the group originally featured rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley, bassist Gene Simmons, lead guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, all of whom contributed to vocals. The band's lineup remained stable until 1980, when Criss left on May 17. He was replaced by Eric Carr later in the year. Two years later Frehley also left the band, although Stanley and Simmons have claimed that he was fired due to a problem with drug and alcohol abuse.

Frehley was replaced by Vinnie Vincent, who performed on Creatures of the Night and Lick It Up before leaving in 1984.Mark St. John performed on Animalize, before Bruce Kulick replaced him after the album's release. Carr died on November 24, 1991, being replaced by Eric Singer. In 1996, founding members Frehley and Criss rejoined the band for the Alive/Worldwide Tour, marking the first performances of the original lineup in 17 years. The reunited lineup released one studio album, Psycho Circus, in 1998.

Following the 2000–2001 Farewell Tour, Kiss intended to retire from touring; however, the band returned in 2002 with returning drummer Singer (who rejoined the previous year) and new lead guitarist Tommy Thayer. Criss returned to the band later in the year, but left again in 2004. With the current lineup, Kiss has released two studio albums: 2009's Sonic Boom and 2012's Monster.
