Frehley had been replaced on songs as early as 1976's Destroyer. The replacement of Criss and Frehley on a Kiss album was nothing new. In a radio interview with Eddie Trunk following his departure Criss stated that only ' Into The Void' featured instrumental contributions from all four members. It is now known that guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss were used sparingly, with Criss only playing drums on ' Into the Void.' (He had also played on only one Dynasty track.) Frehley played on only three songs from the album (not including vocals). As with Dynasty and Unmasked, however, many of the songs were recorded by uncredited players.

I Finally Found My Way (3:40) - Stanley/Ezrinįollowing Kiss' highly successful 1996-1997 reunion tour, Psycho Circus was touted as the first studio album by the band's original lineup since 1979's Dynasty (as Peter Criss did not participate on 1980's Unmasked).

I Pledge Allegience To The State Of Rock And Roll (3:32) - Stanley/Knight/Cuomo Psycho Circus (song) (5:37) - Stanley/Cuomo Quotes taken from the book: KISS:Behind the Mask.To me it appears Gene doesn't know the difference between a good and a bad song because to write a hundred songs and not know which one's better than the other doesn't make sense to me'. If I start something and I dont think its going anywhere I'm not gonna waste my time to finish it. Gene Simmons told me he submitted a hundred songs for Psycho Circus and they used four. Sometimes I might not write a song for a month or two. 'When I write songs I don't really think that much about them. That's one of the things that I think is lacking on the record, that me and Peter weren't involved on alot of the tracks'. I was still working at home on some of my solo stuff. They (Paul and Gene) had started working on alot of the things and I didnt even fly out until the songs had already been recorded. After we finished the tour, we had taken some time off. I would have loved to have played on the whole thing. One of the things that probably isn't cool about the album is the fact that Peter and I didn't really play on the record.
