Talk:Wicked Lester

Comment
In both the KISS X-Treme documentary and the booklet that accompanies the box set, don't Gene and Paul say that they were walking away from their Epic record deal by quitting Wicked Lester, as opposed to being dropped by the label as this article says? wikipediatrix 04:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

WL reunion
I removed the paragraph that mentioned a one-time only "reunion" of Wicked Lester. Without a verifiable source, this is nothing more than a rumor; and therefore doesn't belong in the article. --Cholmes75 21:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Rolling Stone Ad
According to an interview Bill Aucoin (the Kiss manager from 1973 - 1981) did with Kiss Army Online there is no confirmation that there was an as in Rolling Stone. There was an ad, but it may or may not have been in Rolling Stone:

''"KAO: Its been confirmed that there was no ad by Peter Criss in Rolling Stone looking for a band. The "will do anything to make it" Rolling Stone ad is pure fiction. How did Peter actually meet the band? Was it through his connection with Decca?

BA: I am not sure that is true. There definately was an ad. I am not 100% it was in Rolling Stone but there was an ad."'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by AltrEgo2001 (talk • contribs)


 * There are multiple sources that list the ad as having appeared in Rolling Stone. In fact, Peter's ex-wife Lydia kept a copy of the ad.  Given that Aucoin was not in the picture back when Peter joined, it's not surprising he isn't sure what the real story is.  --cholmes75 (chit chat) 17:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

"Original Wicked Lester Sessions"
The information regaridng the events between CBS and KISS regaridng the purchase of the Wicked Lester master tapes is not correct. It is, first of all, unverified, original research. Secondly, the inference as written is that KISS themselves released the album known in fan circles as "The Original Wicked Lester Sessions" when this is patently untrue. No copy of the Wicked Lester album has ever been released in its entirety by KISS and any such "release" is clearly a bootleg. The only official Wicked Lester releases from KISS came on the KISS Box Set. I have edited this portion of the entry, as the way it is now, it makes absolutely no sense. 209.254.200.110 (talk) 16:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

The Ace Shoe-thing
I've heared in a interview by Ace himself he didn't show up in different colored shoes and that the entire thing was a myth CompuTerror (talk) 09:33, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Ace & Peter were members of Wicked Lester
I’m reading the book called KISS behind the mask, it’s the official authorized autobiography of the band, Gene Simmons says on page 138 that the night of KISS first concert(which was with Ace & Peter) they changed the name from Wicked Lester to KISS, so after Ace & Peter joined they were still going by Wicked Lester.

So I think Gene Simmons knows what he’s talking about, Ace & Peter should be added as members.

I don't get it
Why is this article separate from Kiss? And, if there is some distinction that I am missing, how does that not also apply  to Rainbow? I could understand 3 articles or 1 article, but 2 doesn't make sense to me. --Khajidha (talk) 20:48, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
