KISS Peter Criss Iron-on Patch
Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of 1974. Throughout his Kiss career, Criss was lead vocalist on several notable songs including "Black Diamond", "Hard Luck Woman", and their breakthrough hit "Beth".
Many of Criss' contributions to Kiss were written with the help of Stan Penridge, who was a bandmate of Criss' in Chelsea and Lips.
Criss was featured on the album sleeve for the 1979 comedy record Lenny and the Squigtones, collection of novelty songs by Michael McKean and David L. Lander, performing as their Laverne & Shirley personnas of Lenny and Squiggy. Criss was billed as drummer "Ming the Merciless," and appeared without his Kiss makeup.
Peter Criss is referenced in an episode of the television show Family Guy, when Peter mentions to Lois that he suspected Lois was not a true Kiss fan when she dressed up as Peter Criss, stating "Nobody wants to be Peter Criss, not even Peter Criss."
