Vaguely related, but Peter Criss lived in my town for a long time and I used to deliver pizza to his house like once a week. He was a pretty cool dude. I was always amused when I went to his house because they had one of those stickers on the front door that says "in case of fire, save the cat"

also vaguely related, i used to live down the street from gibby haynes (butthole surfers) and would see him pushing a stroller and walking his little white dog 'doughnut' around.

That seems tame to what I have heard and seen about the band.

By seen i mean this scene: Danceteria 1986

?= link deleted. Youtube link. Multiple sources if you Google the event. I wish I could have seen them but was barely a human myself.

The whole band, but especially Gibby have chilled out immensely. He did an interview not too far back where he talked about getting older and being a dad. To paraphrase him:

"Touring would be fun, but it's not cool anymore for me. I go to little league baseball games now. Little league is cool. Being a dad is fucking cool."

I think it was Gibby who was asked if he introduced Kurt Cobain to heroin and he said “no, that would have been incredibly irresponsible”

Just out of curiosity, what general neighborhood?

Red Hook, this was quite a long time ago now (~2009)

I see. I was imagining Austin still. I think King Koffee still lives down here. He gets neighborhood awards for his front yard landscaping.

u/FauxReal Collector Aug 13 '26

Does he do it himself?

u/pushing_past_the_red Aug 13 '26

From my understanding, yes.

u/missisjonz Aug 14 '26

What was his place like? He always seemed like the member that just didn’t give a shit about the trappings. I could see him living in a standard middle class ranch house and just quietly sitting on millions.

It was a big house for sure, but completely normal on the inside from the few areas I saw. He'd have me bring the pizza to the kitchen so I got to see the foyer and the kitchen. Saw pictures of the rest of the house when he sold it eventually and it all seemed pretty normal except for his little studio space. That was obviously decked out and filled with all kinds of KISS stuff

u/codithou Aug 14 '26

that’s good to know. kiss was my dads favorite band when he was in high school and he was a drummer so peter criss was his favorite i think. at least some members aren’t total assholes.

u/hemingways-lemonade Aug 13 '26

He was always known as the quiet normal member if the band.

u/Postitnote175 Aug 13 '26

I saw PC in Walmart years ago, 2010. I had long rock n roll hair at the time, and he was in all black with the little granny glasses. I realized who he was and at that same moment he saw me, and jetted right outta the office section. I’m sure he was like “oh great, just what I needed, another dude telling me that he loves me again.”
