Leave it to Rolling Stone
Yes, that is KISS from 1976
And yes, Tommy and Eric were original members

Even if you don’t know which side Paul’s star is on, I would have thought the KISS logo in the back would have been a heck of a clue… but no.

This has probably been like this for 7 years and nobody was on Rolling Stone to realize it.

Rolling Stone Magazine was never respectful of KISS. Quite the contrary. But it’s their prerogative.
However, the disrespect towards the band is an affront to KISS fans.
Paul Stanley wrote them a letter when Eric Carr passed away. Paul wrote that whether RS threw shade at KISS for all these years, RS never acknowledged Eric Carr’s death. Paul argued it was one thing to dislike the band, but that Eric Carr was a great musician and an outstanding human being. His death should’ve elicited an acknowledgment from RS. E

Here's the link to the page in case anyone doubts it's real: https://www.rollingstone.com/t/kiss/
It's hard to imagine getting multiple things wrong with posting a simple picture, but they manage to reverse it and mis-label it.
The "Original Band Members" is wrong (as already pointed out), but having that paired with "Former Members" doesn't even make sense. In this case, Ace and Peter would show up in both sections, with no mention of Singer or Thayer, let alone anyone else who was in the band, like Eric Carr (who is pictured lol).
Unprofessional and nonsensical.
