Rockers Whose Bands Tried to Erase Them - Peter Criss
Peter Criss co-wrote and sang the 1976 No. 7 smash "Beth," Kiss' highest-charting Billboard single, the first of two Top 10 singles (along with the 1990's No. 8 hit "Forever"), and one of only two gold-selling songs in their catalog (preceding 1979's "I Was Made for Lovin' You"). Still, Kiss chose to re-record the song with Criss' replacement Eric Carr following an acrimonious split.
Criss fired back after the remake appeared on 1988's Smashes, Thrashes and Hits: "It's really ridiculous; it's sad," he told Kerrang, adding that Kiss "didn't tell me they were gonna redo 'Beth' with Eric on vocals." His old band later added insult to injury by having Carr successor Eric Singer wear Criss' old Catman makeup.
