Best Answer

It has been questioned again and again if Criss play the drums on this song and as far as I have researched the matter nothing confirms or denies this issue. 'Larger Than Life' contains some of KISS finest drumming from the 70's period and by the time it was recorded in the summer of 1977 (probably even earlier as it's been said to have been the first of the 5 new songs recorded the Alive II album) Peter was heavily on drugs and performed VERY uneven. Simmons wrote the song and wanted a Led Zeppelin type of groove and this is where I question if an outside session drummer was brought in to cut the track. Peter was never a John Bonham type of drummer. Peters best work is somewhere around 1975. Although never confirmed or denied I strongly believe that Peter Criss never played on this song. Who did is a mystery as Anton Fig (who would be a contender as he was recording with guitarist Frehley at the time) denies any contribution. The other contender is Alan Swartzberg who later did drumwork for the band but although a much better drummer this type of drumming is not his style.

Did some of the people from kiss die?

Yes and no. The original members (Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Paul Stanley) are all still alive. But when the band lost two of its founding members due to creative differences, they were replaced by other musicians. One of them, Eric Carr, joined the band in 1980 to play drums, a role he occupied till about 1991; at that time, he unexpectedly began to feel ill, and was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer, which took his life later that year.
