PAUL STANLEY SONG WILL HIT THE SHELVES ON FEBRUARY 2011

Pushking CD, "The World As We Love It.." guest starring Alice Cooper, Paul Stanley, Billy F Gibbons, and many more, will hit the shelves on February 1.

So that some months prior to the sequel to KISS "Sonic Boom", expected to be released in the summer next year, we will listen once again Paul's voice on a new tune.

This is relatively quiet period for KISS, although many activities are in the works, such as the new album and world tour that's rumored to begin some day in the spring next year from South America...

Il CD dei Pushking CD, "The World As We Love .." con guest star Alice Cooper, Paul Stanley, Billy F. Gibbons, e molti altri, arriverà nei negozi il primo di Febbraio 2011.
Così che ascolteremo ancora una volta la voce di Paul su un nuovo pezzo melodiache alcuni mesi prima del sequel di "Sonic Boom", che dovrebbe essere presentato durante l'estate del prossimo anno.

Questo è un periodo relativamente tranquillo per i Kiss, anche se molte attività sono in cantiere, come il nuovo album e il tour mondiale che si dice iniziarà nella primavera del prossimo anno in Sud America ...

BILL STARKEY BACK WHERE THE KISS ARMY STARTED
From Bill Starkey, KISS ARMY founder:"Monday I finished interviews with Channel 10 the CBS affiliate in Terre Haute. All went well. It is so cool to work with media people who are so professional but also happen to be rock soldiers in the KISS Army themselves. I believe the interview segments will air over several days leading up to Sunday's 35th Anniversary. One of the more special segments was Super news-sleuth, Kate Greene, leading us to the old WVTS radio station where KISS played DJ before the show in TH. It was special meeting the current home owners who were very aware that 35 years ago "KISS had taken over their basement." We had a great time and I want to thank those fine people for their hospitality...It is a KISS World! Here is the WVTS radio station today."

Bill Starkey mitico fondatore della KISS ARMY e arteficie del primo "attacco" alla Radio WVTS a Terre Haute nei primi anni '70 è tornato sul luogo del delitto per intervistare gli attuali membri della radio e ricordare l'evento che ha dato inizio al più grande fan club del mondo, la KISS ARMY!!

GENE SIMMONS' "ALTER EGO" IS A MONSTER?

The long awaited Gene Simmons' boxed set, tentatively called "Monster" and later "Alter Ego" is still in the air but next to released date?

Recently Gene posted this statement via his twitter account:"Working on overview of my boxed set. Literally hundreds of songs... Bigger project than I had imagined." This was the latest known comments about the boxed set dated way back March 2009: "My long in the works Gene Simmons Box Set (Alter Ego) will probably see the light of day in the fall and (looks like) will contain 150 songs that have never been released." Wait and see little demons!!

Il tanto atteso boxed set by Gene Simmons, dal titolo provvisorio "Alter ego", sembra avvicinarsi ad una data di pubblicazione? Gene ha recentemente scritto che sta revisionando la lista dei pezzi da includere, ma giusto a Marzo 2009 aveva detto che il fatidico boxed set sarebbe stato pubblicato molto probabilmente a fine 2009...

Wait and see little demons!!

Two of Simmons' official websites, SimmonsRecords.com and GeneSimmons.com, have been hit by the group of activists as an apparent reprisal for insisting that musicians should be far more aggressive in the pursuit of illicit filesharers. The Anonymous group, linked umbilically to influential online forum 4Chan, have forced several websites linked to copyright-protection bodies offline in recent weeks. More

I siti di Gene Simmons sono stati attaccati da un gruppo di attivisti in rappresaglia agli inviti di Simmons a contrastare il filesharing illegale.

KISS HD TV DOES NOT COME WITH GENE SIMMONS TONGUE SCREEN CLEANER

GIZMODO.com by Angus Kidman
Apparently having their own branded Flip camera isn’t enough for some rock gods. KISS is rolling out its own brand of TVs, which were made for loving you, baby.
How do you produce a KISS-branded TV? Apparently, you offer a “diamond-plated look”, display an image of the band for eight seconds when the TV switches on, limit the whole thing to a 15,000 model run and charge like a wounded hooker. There’s four sizes: 32in ($US818.88), 42in (US$1188.88), 46in ($US1388.88), and 55in ($US1988.88, which also includes a bundled 32″ model).Astonishingly, it’s not just a US offer; for an additional $US375 per television, you can get it shipped worldwide. Quite frankly, at that cost, unless you already own the KISS Kasket and have stolen a lock of Paul Stanley’s hair, you’re probably better off just heading to Kogan. More

Pensavate di avere già di tutto e di più marchiato KISS? Bene, da Novembre ci sarà anche la KISS TV, a novembre l'inizio della commercializzazione, se vi interessa qui tutte le infos.
