Paul Stanley Says Kiss 'Screwed Over' by Thanksgiving Day Parade

"Bluntly, We were screwed over & misled by the exec in charge of #MacysThanksgivingDayParade," the Kiss guitarist tweets after performance

Musicians Eric Singer, Gene Simmons and Tommy Thayer of KISS attend the 88th Annual Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade at on November 27, 2014 in New York, New York.

Kiss\' performance was among the highlights at this year\'s 88th Annual Macy\'s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sure, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band\'s performance of "Rock and Roll All Nite" was clearly lip-synched, but it was an unexpected surprise to see the

crew in full makeup aboard a float cruising alongside giant balloons of Pikachu and Spongebob Squarepants. However, guitarist Paul Stanley wasn\'t too happy following Kiss\' Thanksgiving appearance.

"Bluntly, We were screwed over & misled by the exec in charge of #MacysThanksgivingDayParade. We ALL deserved better," the guitarist tweeted the day after Thanksgiving. Stanley never elaborated why he was upset about the performance but Ultimate Classic Rock offers a few theories. First, NBC didn\'t begin showing Kiss on television until almost the first chorus, and cameras were focused on Simmons during Tommy Thayer\'s guitar solo.

Kiss\' Thanksgiving Day Parade performance was largely family-friendly as Gene Simmons didn\'t partake in any of his trademark tongue-wagging. "I was proud to be a part of the Macy\'s Thanksgiving Day Parade," Simmons told Page Six. "My tongue is God-given. As regards to the parade, my intention was to be tongue in cheek. Mostly, I kept it in my cheek."

A Macy\'s rep later dismissed rumors that the subdued, tongue-less Kiss performance was mandated from above, saying in a statement, "There were no restrictions placed on the Kiss appearance. Their performance was a highlight of the Macy\'s Thanksgiving Day Parade\'s live national broadcast which captured the very best of this legendary group." Stanley would disagree.
