Welcome to the 9 Lives of Peter Criss

"Peter's Birthday?"

"I love Peter Criss.I want to send him a birthday present, but I need to know a few things about him first.For example, when was he born?And what sort of things does he like to get for his birthday?And where should I send the present? Also, what is his favorite color? Maybe you can help me out, because it really means a whole lot to me to do this for Peter, because I really love him so much."

Guilia Armando
Frankfort, Kentucky

"Gosh, Guilia, well, I mean, like shucks, ma'am- thanks! Now to answer all those questions. First of all, I was born December 20.1947. This December I'll be 30 years old!!! ( Hope I'm not too old for ya, Guilia-honest I'm young at heart!)As far as my preferences go,well I'm awfully partial to the color green. All shades, from forest green to lime green- and I like homemade things the best. I especially like original poems and drawings. As far as where to send the present, well, send it to the address listed somewhere around here for our fan mail. I think it's on the bottom of the page. and really I wasn't joking before- I am truly flattered! Thanks!!!"

"Peter Plays"

"Peter Criss is the most far out drummer that ever lived. I could listen to Peter play the drums all day! Does Peter ever sing? Or does he just play the drums?"

Jena De Leone
Bayonne, New Jersey

"Gosh, I'm flattered you like my drumming, Jena. But did you know that I can also play guitar and piano?And did you know that I do an awful lot of singing with the group,too? Of course, I'm crazy about being a drummer, and that's what I do the best!"
