Flashback: Kiss and Conan O’Brien Announce the Band’s 1996 Reunion

By David Browne

David Browne

The press conference had barely begun when Gene Simmons weighed in with typical bluntness. “This tour and the whole event,” he said, leaning into a microphone, “it is a culmination of more than a decade of our fans being on top of our asses saying we have to do it.”

The “it” was the fantasy of Kiss fans across the globe: a reunion of the original quartet, in full makeup, reviving the songs and stage costumes that had made Kiss one of the all-conquering bands of the Seventies. And on April 16th, 1996 , the fantasy became reality when the band announced its plans for such a tour at a media event aboard, of all places, the U.S.S. Intrepid, docked on the west side of Manhattan.

“Last week when they asked me to introduce Kiss,” deadpanned Conan O’Brien at the start of the press conference, “I had just two questions, two questions:  what time, and what aircraft carrier ?” (In his memoir Kiss and Make-Up , Simmons said the idea was inspired by an event his ex-girlfriend Diana Ross had held aboard that same ship in 1981.) And with the opening of a curtain and the blaring of one of their deepest and raunchiest cuts (“Take Me” from 1976’s  Rock and Roll Over ), there they were again: Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley, in full rock-kabuki look, to announce a worldwide tour launching in Detroit that June.

The roar of Kiss Army fans who had invaded the Intrepid made it clear that the reunion idea was a smart one. By 1996, Criss and Frehley had both been out of the band for about 15 years. In 1983, Kiss, still run by Simmons and Stanley, had wiped off the face paint and revealed their actual mugs on stage and on album covers. Thanks to hits like “Tears Are Falling” and “Heaven’s on Fire,” Kiss had intermittently proven they could endure in the hair-metal era.

But something was missing, which became all too apparent one day in the summer of 1995. Toward the end of a taping of their episode of MTV Unplugged , the band — which by then included guitarist Bruce Kulick and drummer Eric Singer — introduced Criss and Frehley. The reconvened foursome played several songs, including “Beth,” and the fix was in. Although he’d long been reluctant about working with Frehley or Criss again, Simmons, ever the savvy businessman, heard the cheers for himself and sensed an opportunity. And months later, a tour that few thought would happen again was announced to the world — literally, since media reps from more than two dozen countries were aboard the Intrepid.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

There, Simmons assured their base that Kiss would give the fans what they wanted, and the tour more than lived up to that promise. The set list focused entirely on the band’s Seventies repertoire; nothing from the post-Criss/Frehley years was played. In another return to their days of peak mystique, the band ordered road-crew members to leave the venue during soundchecks so that workers wouldn’t see them without their makeup.

But would a Kiss reunion tour work during the waning days of grunge and the early days of boy-band pop? As Simmons probably calculated for himself, it would. The indie and alt kids then dominating rock had grown up with Kiss , and opening acts on the Alive/Worldwide Tour included Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and the Verve Pipe. Shows immediately sold out, and additional dates were added. According to the concert-industry publication Pollstar , Alive/Worldwide went on to become the top-grossing tour of 1996, pulling in $43.6 million over the course of its 92 shows that year before continuing into 1997 (and earning a total of about $150 million). In second place for 1996? The then-massively popular Garth Brooks, with $34.5 million.

While lauding its financial success, Simmons would look back on the tour with mixed emotions, often frustrated with Frehley and Criss: “Now that the band had reunited and I was spending more time with Peter and Ace,” he wrote in Kiss and Make-Up , “I was starting to see the effect 20 years of drug and alcohol use had had” on them. (Talking about the reunion era to RS in 2014 , Criss countered, “I wanted to prove to the fans that I was cool, I was better, I wasn’t on drugs anymore, I was a new man.”)

But for those Kiss cultists, who weren’t aware of any of the backstage drama, the tour could be an emotional experience (or, if the band were marketing it in their usual over-the-top manner, a “Katharsis”). “In 1996, when they put the makeup back on for the reunion, I went 10 times and I cried every night,” Anthrax’s Scott Ian told writer Doug Brod in his recently published They Just Seem a Little Weird: How Kiss, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith and Starz Remade Rock and Roll . The concerts announced 25 years ago were pure show business, but that was the point: They were a ticket back to the pre-grunge days of flashier, larger-than-life rock spectacle, when demons, not despair, ruled the world.

Revisiting Kiss’ First Reunion Show

On June 28, 1996, the newly reunited original lineup of Kiss played their first full concert in over 16 years at the sold-out Tiger Stadium in Detroit. In the ensuing years, Paul Stanley , Gene Simmons , Peter Criss and Ace Frehley have each written about what was going through their minds on this momentous evening. Here are their recollections.

Gene Simmons on how he learned how quickly the show sold out "The safe way would have been to test our act in a smaller market, where we could sharpen our act and the problems in the show wouldn't be scrutinized. But [manager] Doc [McGhee] booked a baseball stadium in Detroit. To be honest, we weren't even sure we would sell out the show. Tickets went on sale one Friday night. At 6 in the morning on Saturday, Doc called me at home to tell me that he had some good news and some bad news. I asked for the bad news first. 'Well,' he said, 'we don't have any more tickets to sell.' We had sold out the whole stadium – about 50,000 seats – in under an hour." (from Kiss and Make-Up)

Peter Criss recalls his pre-show jitters "Gene and Paul were very calm and Ace was quiet. I was my usual physical self, talkative, very up. I still had that crazy energy. When we got to the gig, Gene and I shared one room and Paul and Ace had the other. 'Wow, we're gonna play for 40,000 people,' I said in awe. 'That's freaking me out.' ... My heart started exploding in my chest. I was sitting next to Gene and I started beating out a fill on my leg, and then I started playing his leg, just like I used to do for our big shows twenty years earlier. I finally broke him. He started laughing. 'You Italians, nothing changes, huh?' he said. 'Man, this is going to be good,' I said." (from Makeup to Breakup )

Paul Stanley remembers the rush of the show's opening minutes "The curtain dropped, and the force of the crowd reaction nearly lifted me off my feet. I had to fight to be in control of the situation, of myself, of my persona, of the band. ... The joy for me was being able to revisit something I'd experienced as a much younger person in a different frame of mind. When I was in the midst of it the first time around, I had the sense it would never end. ... Then it had died down. But there on that stage, with Kiss reunited, facing that kind of energy again, I felt thankful in an entirely different way." (from Face the Music: A Life Exposed )

Ace Frehley on being reunited with his former bandmates "The closer it came to showtime, the more a strange sense of deja vu permeated the air. From the moment we hit the stage, 40,000 screaming fans stood up, and the excitement continued until the final encore. When the show was over, we congratulated each other backstage. There was a genuine feeling of camaraderie in the dressing room." (from No Regrets )

Watch Kiss Perform at Their First Reunion Show

Kiss played 192 shows altogether on their Alive / Worldwide tour, ending, exactly one year after opening night, in Libson, Portugal. The reunited lineup would go on to record one more studio album (1998's Psycho Circus ) and mount two more world tours before Frehley left for a second time in 2001 and the second departure and then brief return and finally the third departure of Criss between 2001-04. Kiss have continued to tour with Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer joining Simmons and Stanley in what is now the band's longest-running lineup .

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Relationship Timeline

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill wed in 1996 and share three daughters

Contributor, PEOPLE

Country music superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have music to thank for their decades-long love story.

The "Don't Take the Girl" singer and Hill met for the first time in 1994 at a gig in Nashville. At the time, they were both seeing other people but as fate would have it, McGraw and Hill's paths crossed again two years later and the rest is history.

Hill served as McGraw's opening act on his 1996 Spontaneous Combustion tour and the pair wed later that year. The country artists now share three daughters.

Here's a look at Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's relationship, from their first meeting to starting a family.

Hill later defended how she and McGraw got their start , telling PEOPLE, "If someone is going to judge my character because I was engaged to somebody and then I left him for somebody else — 'Oh, OK, now she's a slut and a bad person' — I can't control that. But I wasn't about to let Tim slip through my hands."

June 26, 1996: Tim McGraw proposes to Faith Hill on stage

The musician popped the question while on tour. He shared the romantic details of the proposal years later in an October 2015 video.

"We were in the dressing room, here, June 26, 1996, and it was raining and stuff and we'd been on tour for a while together, and I joked around with her about getting married. And so I looked at her, grabbed her by the hands, and dropped forward [on my knees] onstage," he recalled. "She said, 'We're at a country music festival in a trailer house, and you're asking me to marry you?' And I said, 'Yeah.' So I went onstage … When I came back offstage, [I saw] a Sharpie with lipstick kisses all over it, saying, 'Yes! I'm gonna be your wife.' "

"When things happen and you succeed beyond your wildest dreams and you're playing all these great shows and the parties are going on," he told Hoda Kotb on the Today show.

Speaking with Esquire about his decision to get sober in 2008, McGraw revealed that he was "getting out of [bed] and going to the liquor cabinet and taking a big shot at 8:00 in the morning and thinking, 'I have to wake the kids up.' "

He called that his last straw, saying that he immediately went to Hill and told her what was happening.

"I went straight to my wife and said, 'This is where I'm at.' I was scared," he remembered. "She just grabbed me and hugged me and changed my life."

He credited her with helping him stay strong and sober.

"My wife always says, 'You're not scared of anything.' I say, 'Ehhh, one thing. I'm looking at it right now,' " he said. "I didn't know love could feel so good. Was it an emotion? Was it a lifestyle? Was it an imaginary thing? But love is all of those things."

McGraw went on, "Love is being angry. Love is not talking for a day. Love is getting in each other's face. Love is accepting that I'm wrong. Love is a 360-degree thing. It's not linear. They always say you're not supposed to fight in front of your kids. Everybody fights in front of their kids. That's part of the deal."

October 6, 2021: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill celebrate 25 years of marriage

In honor of 25 years of marriage to Hill, McGraw reflected on his proposal and the wedding that followed. He called it "the best day of my life." He also shared some new details, that fans may not have known before.

"25 years later and it's still the best day of my life. Thanks for going on this journey with me. Love you Faith ❤️," he wrote, adding that it took him a "few times" to convince her to accept his proposal.

McGraw continued, "We had dated for a while. I actually asked her to marry me quite a few times and she kept saying no. She said, 'I'm not going to get involved with another country singer, it's just not going to work out.' "

He said he finally decided to get down on a knee during a country music festival, hopeful that Hill would accept.

"They had these trailer houses set up. I'm getting ready to go onstage, and I had this sort of case that had this big mirror in it. She's standing there, and we're talking, and I said, 'Look, let's get married," he remembered. "And she says, 'You're asking me to marry you at a country music festival in a trailer house?' And I said, 'Well, it's pretty apropos if you think about it.' She goes, 'Are you serious?' And I said, 'Well, yeah, I'm serious.' "

He returned to the dressing room to find a message on the mirror from his future wife accepting his proposal.

"And we still have that mirror. And it was the best day of my life, that's for sure," McGraw said.

November 2021: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill make their silver screen debut

While both McGraw and Hill had appeared on-screen before, they next acted alongside each other, until 2021. The couple appeared in 1883 , a prequel to Yellowstone that tells the origin story of the Dutton family. McGraw and Hill play James and Margaret Dutton.

"To see my beautiful wife on horseback, firing guns, and having dirt all over her face, I just sit in awe. She's a strong woman, anyway," McGraw told Entertainment Weekly . "[Creator] Taylor [Sheridan] said early on to me, 'Man, you'll just get on that horse. You're not scared of anything.' I said, 'I'm scared of one thing. She's right over there.' "

December 10, 2021: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill talk about becoming empty nesters

Things changed in a big way for McGraw and Hill after their youngest daughter, Audrey, graduated in 2020. The pair were officially empty nesters and they opened up about the transition to PEOPLE in December 2021.

"You're used to getting up in the morning, taking kids to school, going to softball practices and basketball practices and cheerleader practices and all of a sudden all that's gone when your last one leaves," he told PEOPLE.

He noted that since their daughters left home, their house in Nashville has quieted down significantly. He looked back fondly on their lives together as a family of five.

"I miss the afternoons because Faith would always make sure something was cooking when they would come home from school," he said. "I miss them coming in and smelling what mom's cooking and being excited about having dinner. I miss the energy around. There were times when we had about 15 teenage girls in our house talking about boys and life and everything going on. We're still a really close family; we talk all the time. But it's difficult when your kids leave. All of a sudden they don't need you as much anymore. And I think it's probably more difficult for Mom."

May 1, 2022: Faith Hill surprises Tim McGraw with a birthday serenade

In celebration of McGraw's 55th birthday, Hill arranged for a special backstage moment in honor of the occasion. He shared a video of the whole crew, including his wife, surrounding him with a cake and candles, singing "Happy Birthday." He smiled as he spotted Hill.

During a show in Los Angeles at the Whisky a Go Go, McGraw revealed that the song "Samba Pa Ti" by Santana always makes him think of Hill.

"It's kind of our song," he told the crowd. "My uncle told me one time — my uncle Hank, old hippie who lives in Napa Valley — he played it for me one time years ago on the road. He loved that song too. He said, ‘I'm gonna tell you something.’ He says, ‘Never make love to a woman with this song on unless you intend to marry her.’ And so I didn't until I did. And then I did."

  1. Alive/Worldwide Tour

    Alive/Worldwide Tour.
