KISS GENE SIMMONS 96 REUNION TOUR SUPERDOME BLOODCUP ON EBAY!!!

Eliteworks tra le numerose KISS memorabilia in vendita questa settimana sta listando il contenitore del sangue finto usato da Gene Simmons durante il concerto tenuto al SuperDome di New Orleans (Alive/Worldwide Tour) il 9 Luglio 1996.

 

Eliteworks among many amazing KISS memorabilia is selling a STAGE USED Gene Simmons blood cup from the first KISS reunion tour with Gene, Ace, Peter, and Paul.  Gene  Simmons used this cup to drink his stage blood and then tossed it into the photo pit (the area in front of the stage) before his solo began during the SuperDome/New Orleans stop on the historic Alive/Worldwide Tour on July 9, 1996. Several pieces of confetti from the show are still attached. The stage blood has dried and it looks perfect.  This is a  real one-of-a kind gem!

GENE PARLA A CLARIN, QUOTIDIANO ARGENTINO

Il quotidiano Argentino, Clarin, riporta quello che sembra una intervista telefonica avuta con Gene Simmons.

Tra le varie cose (nuovo disco confermato) scrivono che Gene abbia detto, di Ace&Peter, "Non faranno più parte del gruppo, mai più"...

Niente più Reunion con i membri originali quindi...

 

GENE TALKS TO CLARIN, ARGENTINAN NEWS PAPER

The argentinan newspaper Calrin printed what seems to be a phone interview with Gene Simmons.

Among others things (new album confirmed) it's reported Gene said, about Ace&Peter, "They will never be in the band again, never"...

No more Reunion with the original members then...

ERIC ON NEW KISS ALBUM AND TOUR

Eric, intervistato in merito al nuovo album, ha confermato quanto mi aveva riferito settimana scorsa, nessuna registrazione fatta ad oggi.

"L' unica cosa certa è che saremo in tour in Sud America in Aprile."

E' probabile quindi che sia Paul che Gene e forse Tommy stiano scrivendo e componendo demos separatamente. Quando saranno pronte le demos entreranno in studio a registrare "velocemente" come ha recentemente detto Gene a Pagina12....Wait and see!!!

DEUCENEWS EXLUSIVE: INTERVISTA CON BRUCE KULICK

Recensione in anteprima mondiale dei nuovi pezzi per il nuovo album BK3

Venerdì 13 Febbraio, appuntamento telefonico con Nicolas, Tour manager degli ESP, per fissare l’incontro con Bruce.
Via mail è stato possibilista….speriamo.
Telefono, ciao sono Fabio  ti chiamo per l’intervista con Bruce..Si certo facciamo alle 15 in albergo, va bene? Va bene???? Benissimo!!! ok grazie a questo pomeriggio!!!
Bene, mi metto in macchina con 15 minuti di anticipo rispetto alla tabella di marcia, devo farmi 130km, non si sa mai.
Infatti, manco a dirlo, grazie alle sempre fantastiche segnalazioni stradali italiane, salto l’uscita corretta.
Fantastico! Piede a tavoletta mi faccio 50 km in più, sperando che non ci sia nessuno a controllare i limiti di velocità…ore 15:00 entro nella hall dell’albergo!
Nicolas mi viene incontro, ci salutiamo e chiama Bruce che è in camera.
Mi siedo con lui al bar dell’albergo, c’e anche Chuck  (Garric) che mi da un sguardo di traverso, mi saluta e riprende a sorseggiare un bicchiere di vino.
Mi guardo intorno per vedere se incrocio John (Corabi) o con ancora più ansia Eric (Singer), niente l’albergo è deserto.
Il tempo di tirare fuori i fogli con le domande che mi sono preparato e arriva Bruce….
Sorride, credo di sorridere anch’io ma non so che faccia ho.
Mi chiede subito se voglio bere o mangiare qualcosa, no grazie! (non so come farei a mandarlo giù!)
Ordina un panino e una bottiglietta d’acqua e ci sediamo.
3-2-1 ci siamo!!!

DEUCENEWS EXLUSIVE: BRUCE KULICK INTERVIEW

With exlusive commentary on the new songs for the forthcoming album BK3

Friday 13th February, phone call  with Nicolas, ESP Tour manager, target: to fix an interview with Bruce.
He had been very vogue by e-mail... Let’s hope.
I call, “Hi it’s Fabio, I’m calling to set up the interview with Bruce ... Yes, 3 p.m. at the hotel, is it OK for you? OK? It’s great! Thank you, see you later!
Well, I’m in the car 15 minutes earlier then the foreseen time table, I have to drive 130km, you never know.
In fact, I miss the right highway exit, thanks to the usually fantastic Italian road signs.
Great! I push the pedal to the max, I have 50 km more to ride, hoping there’s nobody there checking speed limits ... 3:00 p.m. : I walk in the Hotel lobby!
Nicolas comes to me, we shake hands and he calls Bruce who’s still in his room.
I sit down with him at the Hotel bar, Chuck (Garric) is also there, he gave me an eye, says hallo and he goes on drinking a glass of a red wine.
I look around to see if John (Corabi) is in there too or with even more anxiety if Eric (Singer) is there, none, the hotel is a desert.
Just the time to pull out the sheets with the questions I prepared and Bruce comes in....
He smiles at me , I smile too I believe, but I do not know which kind of face I have...
He immediately asks me if I want to drink or eat something, no thanks! (I don’t know how to send it down!)
He orders a sandwich and a bottle of water and he sits down.
3-2-1 here we are!

GENE SIMMONS ON NEW KISS ALBUM

Recentemente Gene ha parlato con Pagina12 (thx Bruno) in merito al prossimo concerto dei KISS in Argentina e di altre cose, ecco quello che a detto in merito al nuovo album dei KISS:

Stiamo per realizzare un nuovo album prodotto da Paul, perché io non ho la pazienza di entrare in uno studio e viverci per sei mesi. Chi meglio di Paul per questo? L'idea è di fare il disco velocemente, come ai tempi di Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over e Love Gun. Ma dobbiamo essere pronti, per questo stiamo lavorando sulle canzoni quando abbiamo tempo. Forse nel mese di marzo entreremo in uno studio per registrare due o tre pezzi. L'idea è di lavorare bene, a poco a poco, non possiamo passare troppo tempo in studio, dovrà essere veloce.

 

Recently Gene talked to Pagina12 (thx Bruno) about KISS playing in Argentina and many other topics, among them this is what the demon said about new KISS record:

We are making a new album produced by Paul, because I do not have the patience to get into a studio and stay there for six months. Who better than Paul for that? The idea is to make the record quickly, like we did at the time of Destroyer, Rock And Roll Over and Love Gun. But we must be prepared, so we are now working on songs when we have time. Maybe in March we will go in a studio and recorded two or three songs. The idea is to work well, little by little, we can not spend too much time in the studio, it has to be fast.

ERIC SINGER ON NEW KISS ALBUM

Lo scorso venerdì ho avuto l'opportunità di parlare un pò con Eric e tra le tante cose, gli ho chiesto se canterà qualche pezzo, oltre ai cori, sul prossimo album dei KISS.

"Non lo so proprio! Molti fans continuano a farmi domande su come sarà il nuovo album, quando uscirà, ma non so dirti niente, non sono neanche entrato in studio con loro..."

Risposta politica o verita?

Wait and see, direbbe qualcuno!

 

Last friday I had the chance to talk for a while with Eric and, among others, I asked him if he is going to sing lead on the next KISS album.

"I don't know! Many fans started asking me about the new KISS album, when it will be released, but I can't tell you anything about, I did not even enter the studio with them so far..."

Political answer or the real truth?

Someone would say: wait and see!

MUSIC IS NOT DEAD

Gene Simmons:

Mi è stato chiesto di essere il Keynote Speaker alla Leadership Music Conference in Nashville, Tennessee e, nonostante tutti ne abbiano paura, la musica non è morta. Mentre è vero che l'industria del disco ha consentito ad un'intera nuova generazione di appassionati di musica il download, la condivisione dei file e altro al fine di non pagare gli artisti, i produttori, gli autori, le case discografiche e i distributori - non tutto è perduto.
 In realtà, c'è una grande opportunità per re-inventare e razionalizzare l'intera industria musicale.
E, per quel che accada, gli artisti e l'industria devono unirsi e condividere le problematiche.
Maggiori informazioni su questo più avanti

 

Gene Simmons:

"I've been asked to be the Keynote Speaker at the Leadership Music Conference in Nashville, Tenn. And, despite what everyone is afraid of, music is NOT dead. While it's true the record industry has allowed an entire new generation of music fans to download, file share and otherwise avoid paying artists, producers, writers, record companies, and distributers -- all is not lost.
 In fact, there is a great opportunity to re-invent and streamline the entire music industry.
And, for that to happen, the artists and the industry must merge and have shared concerns.
More on this later."

GENE IN AZIONE CONTRO I BOOTLEGGER
Giorni fa il New York Times scriveva che il nostro Gene, mentre si trovava al SIA, una delle manifestazioni per gli sport invernali più grandi al mondo per promuovere i suoi prodotti MoneyBag ha scoperto che Faction Collective SA, un produttore di sci con sede in Svizzera, aveva una nuova grafica (vedi foto) per i suoi sci , senza alcuna licenza di sfruttamento dell'immagine con lui.
"Se sei un bootlegger, e se pensi di guadagnarci qualcosa illegalmente, ti costerà di più  difenderti che semplicemente ottenere una licenza. Pensano di cavarsela e di ottenere qualcosa ma sono  solo dei parassiti , fino a quando non incontrano Gene Simmons, che i parassiti gli uccide."
Janzen, il resposabile di Faction Collective, ha offerto a Simmons gli sci.

Simmons, invece, gli ha dato il numero di telefono del suo avvocato!!!
Ecco qui Gene in azione ...

GENE IN ACTION AGAINST BOOTLEGGER
Days ago The New York Times reported that our Gene while attending the S.I.A., one of the snow-sport industry’s biggest trade show, promoting his MoneyBag products, discovered that Faction Collective S.A., a ski manufacturer based in Switzerland, displayed new graphics on its big-mountain powder skis, without any license agreement with him.
“If you’re a bootlegger, and you think you’re going to get by and put something out illegally, it will cost you more to defend that than simply getting a license.

They think they can get by being a nuisance, just pests, until they meet Gene Simmons, who kills pests dead.
Janzen, who was manning the booth for the Faction Collective, offered to give Simmons the skis. Instead, Simmons gave Janzen his lawyer’s contact information!!!
Here Below Gene in action...

ESP - HOLLAND, UDEN, DE PUL FEBR 9, 2009

from my friend Jelle of  www.kiss-related-recordings.nl
To be honest, I really enjoyed the concert, it was worth the traffic drive …
The tracklist was as follows : ( "I Wanna Be" and "Man In The Moon" were performed without Chuck and Eric)


'Parasite' (KISS)
'Love' (UNION)
'Under My Wheels' (Alice Cooper)
'Unholy' (Kiss)
'Live Wire' (Mötley Crüe)
'Domino' (KISS)
'Highway Star (DEEP PURPLE)
'Master And Slave' (KISS)
'Power To The People' (Mötley Crüe)
'I Wanna Be' (Union) (Bruce & John alone)
'Man In The Moon' (SCREAM) (John alone)
'Helter Skelter' (BEATLES)
'Ace Of Spades' (MOTÖRHEAD)
'I Love It Loud' (KISS)
'Black Diamond' (KISS)
'Tie Your Mother Down' (QUEEN)
Live Wire and Highway Star were highpoints.
Probably the security on Chuck’s side didn’t act that serious.
Someone did record “I love it Loud” on his side of the stage, and after the song Chuck commented to put the video on YouTube under “bad ass”…, so he/she did.

PODKISST#13 OUT NOW

Incredibili interviste dal lontano 1974...

 

Join us as we recognize one of rock radio’s most influential and distinctive voices… the Nightbird herself… Alison Steele. At a time when people still didn’t know what to make of KISS, the Nightbird was one of the 1st radio DJs to allow KISS to explain themselves in their own words, on their own terms. As you listen to these 1974 interviews, you’ll likely notice that KISS were still figuring themselves out. You’ll hear Gene, Paul, Pete, and Ace giving us some early insights into their unique brand of musical mayhem. Plus, as always, we bring you some rare recordings from throughout KISStory. So sit back, relax, and listen… ‘cause it’s KISSin’ time!

RUBEN DE FUENTES PARLA DEI KISS E DI KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD

By J. Frank Hagan (kisswebmaskzine)

Ciao a tutti! Oggi ho il piacere di prorporvi una intervista al chitarrista Ruben De Fuentes. Ruben è stato un membro degli Hollywood Stars (con Kim Fowley), che scrissero ed incisero originariamente "King of the Night Time World," che in seguito fu riscritta con Paul Stanley e Bob Ezrin e incisa dai KISS per l'album "DESTROYER".
Come è stato incontrare i KISS per la prima volta?
E' stato al Forum Club (LA Forum) dopo lo show. Loro avevano un catering veramente elaborato completo di una enorme scultura di ghiaccioche riproduceva il nome della band. Al party c'era anche Michael Jackson,  che avevo già incontrato altre volte dato che eravamo vicini di casa ad Encino, California.

RUBEN DE FUENTES TALKS ABOUT KISS AND KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD

By J. Frank Hagan (kisswebmaskzine)

Hello all! Today I am pleased to bring you a Q&A with Guitarist Ruben De Fuentes.

What was your experience like meeting Kiss for the first time?
It was at under the Forum Club (the LA Forum) after the show. They had very elaborate catering complete with huge ice sculptures of their band name. I saw Michael Jackson there but I've seen him a lot because we were neighbors in Encino, California.

PAUL: STIAMO REGISTRANDO IL NUOVO DISCO IN ANALOGICO (from BANG Media International)

Pur invencchiando i rockers Kiss hanno ancora groupies.
Il chitarrista Paul Stanley, 57, sostiene che la band riceve ancora proposte da fan di sesso femminile, così come facevano anni fa, con l'unica differenza che ora non "indulgono" nel sesso così spesso.

...

Paul ha detto che il nuovo album uscirà per l'autunno e al New Yourk Post:

"E' un KISS album nel più profondo significato, stiamo registrando in analogico, non in digitale e stiamo scrivendo noi stessi."

...

PAUL: WE ARE RECORDING THE NEW ALBUM IN ANALOGUE (from BANG Media International)
Ageing rockers Kiss still have groupies.
Guitarist Paul Stanley, 57, claims the band get propositioned by female fans just as much as they did in their heyday, adding the only difference now is they don't "indulge" in sex as often.
Explaining how women chase after the group, Paul explained: "They are there in abundance. The only thing that changes is whether you choose to indulge. But the buffet is always there!"
The rocker added he, singer Gene Simmons - who claims to have slept with over 1,000 women - guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer are heading back to the studio to record their next album for release this autumn.
He confirmed to the New York Post newspaper: "It's a Kiss album in the most true and classic sense - we're recording it in analogue, not digital, and writing it ourselves."
Gene has previously claimed he has slept with so many woman as he thinks it's "rude" not to bed groupies.
He explained: "Think of me as a goodwill ambassador. The poor girls spend hours putting on their make-up and their perfume.

"How rude would it be if that got ignored? Otherwise, they'll feel their self-esteem lower. You don't want that happening. I'm a Good Samaritan. It's my good-natured side."
