Congratulations to KISS who were today announced as 2014 inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. After a successful campaign whereby they won the online vote (which counted as 1 out of 600 ballots) they were announced today as being amongst the successful inductees. The ceremony will take place on April 10th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

It is currently unknown who will take part at the ceremony, but Bruce Kulick released the following statement today:-

"I woke up today with the amazing news that KISS has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame! Well it's about time! I know the fans spoke, and they listened. When you think of how influential this band has been, and how KISS is so strongly loved by fans all around the world, those who run the R n R Hall of Fame finally got it right! Fans of KISS, this award is about you as much as the band. You could no longer be ignored! Now go crank up your favorite KISS album right now!"

There is a great interview with Gene over at Rolling Stone where he hints he is open to playing with not only Eric & Tommy at the ceremony but also Ace & Peter.

People are very curious about what lineup of the band is going to play that night.
Well, Kiss is Tommy Thayer, Eric Singer, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. It's like, if you introduced me to your wife and I go, "Wait, where are all the other wives?" It's like, "Yeah, I was married to them and now I'm here."  You can argue that point and we'll figure everything out as time goes on. This one is for the fans. If the fans didn't care, we wouldn't be here. If it meant nothing to them, we wouldn't be here.

Bands often play with old members at the Hall of Fame. Are you open to the idea of playing with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley that night?
Sure, why not?
