Drummer made plea in 'New York Times' op-ed published on Oct. 25, 1980.

Founding Kiss drummer delivers "perfect" backbeat on the LP's closing track.

Collaborator Richie Scarlet says ex-Kiss drummer proves he’s “still around” with their new song.

The ex-Kiss drummer comes out of retirement to play on a song by a former member of his solo band.

Original Kiss drummer recorded the video in his living room.

Drummer arrived at audition with music stand and pretended he could read sheet music.

They always wanted to be "the Beatles on steroids."

Drummer's first stint ended with a private whimper. He made sure his second departure was loud and public.

"This particular snub," guitarist Ace Frehley said, "contributed greatly to my second departure from Kiss."

Kiss frontman says ex-drummer has a bad attitude.
