Previously unreleased “outtake” footage from KISS’s ill-fated ‘Music From The Elder’ period has surfaced on YouTube. This is the first time in nearly 13 years that any new ‘Elder’ era master tapes

KISS road manager Sean Delaney as they prepare to tape a segment for a short-lived CBS-TV series.
Additionally, some professionally shot footage from KISS’s 1980 Unmasked stadium tour of Australia also appeared online today.
Both clips are being released to promote a continuing series of KISS auctions from eBay seller EliteWorks. Among this week’s 53 items: promotional only releases such as the sampler LP for Rock And
Roll Over and Gimmie KISS; a 1990 greatest hits compilation. 1975 autographs from Ace and Peter, loads of promo CDs and 8 Tracks, a stage used Gene Simmons blood cup, and the mega-rare blue label 7”

KISS ROCKED SÃO PAULO!!!! (thx Sgt_Pepper at KISSFAQ)
I KISS hanno conquistato anche San Paolo!!!
La voce di Paul sta migliorando di concerto in concerto, e come sempre è stato, tappa dopo tappa migliorano anche le performance di tutti e quattro.
Gene&Paul sono sembrati molto felici e su di giri, Eric e Tommy hanno dato come sempre il meglio di loro stessi; Momento simpatico del concerto quando Paul ha detto: "Ora la prossima canzone è Watching you...(pausa) anche conosciuta come Parasite!!!"
I pyro e gli effetti sono stati strabilianti, grandi foto qui
Hello fellas, tonight is a special night for me... I just attended my first ever Kiss concert a few hours ago!
I'll share some interesting/mildly amusing tidbits of tonight' concert along with some random thoughts of this current lineup:
- Paul's vocals were really strong IMO... I guess he still hold back some of his trademark shouts and superlong notes. But it was a very solid performance overrall.
- Gene and Paul (especially Paul) was strangely upbeat, almost in a creepy sort of way and both of then were having a great time with the audience. I know these guys are professionals entretainers,
but I got the impression they were as happy as ever standing on that stage.
- Eric Singer is awesome... I mean really awesome!
I love Peter, but Singer's just a better drummer ! Especially at this point in their careers... that guy is loud and he made all the heavy songs sound even heavier!
- Funny moment... Paul was introducing the next song and this is exactly how it went:
Paul Stanley (in his raspy live voice): Alright people! The next song is called Watchin' You...(awkard pause)... also known as Parasite!
What the hell was that Paul? Laughing
- I thought that all the Pyro and stage work was very well done... my brother said that it was way better than the last time they played here during the Psycho Circus tour. I believe this is the
first time they brought the full show here.
- Tommy was alright I don't get why so many people hate the guy... his guitar playing was flawless and I think he's much more charismatic than people give him credit for.
- It still amazes me how cool Gene looks with that make-up on! He sould wear it full time!
Not a single trace of that old man from the reallity TV shows lol
- Did I mentioned that Eric is a great fuckin' drummer and he has a nice singin' voice too... real energetic performance from him tonight.
- The crowd was amazing... they kept singing every verse of every song till the very last moment. They sang it even during the solos it was crazy Laughing
- Gene bass was really loud during the first few songs.
- The place was packed... I would say there were easilly 30-35 thousand kiss freaks there tonight. Maybe a little more.
Great pics here

KISS TAKES THE WORLD BY STORM TODAY
BY ANNOUNCING THE FIRST EVER FAN-ROUTED TOUR
Fan Votes at Eventful to Determine U.S. and Canadian Cities Where
Legendary Rockers KISS Will Perform on 2009 Tour
Sao Paulo, Brazil (April 6, 2009) - KISS is celebrating 35 years of rockin' the world like no other band has ever done before. The legendary band, currently touring soccer stadiums of South America,
announced from Brazil today that their upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour will be the world's first to put fans in charge of where their favorite artist plays. By partnering with Eventful, the leading
social media company for events, fans will "Demand" where KISS will perform on their latest trek across the top-voted North American markets beginning this September. No matter where the fans
say--from stadiums to cornfields--if there are enough votes, KISS will be there! And in order to keep the competition fair for smaller cities, final site selection will weigh population size versus
total votes.
Today at the zero hour of exactly 3:00 PM EDT, an official video announcement by the band's Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Gene Simmons ((see video at www.KISSonline.com) kicks off this
first-ever promotion. Immediately following the video's debut run, fans across the U.S. and Canada can cast their votes at www.eventful.com/KISS to have their town included on the KISS 2009 North
American tour. Fans will be able to vote, and check the tally of what cities are in the lead, 24/7 across the Web at the previous sites; as well as on KISS' MySpace and Facebook, Ticketmaster's KISS
page, VH1Classic.com, and many more.
Even after garnering more than 30 gold and platinum records and in excess of 90 million albums sold worldwide, KISS continues to prove the band makes the fans their #1 priority.
"KISS has never followed the rules--we have always broken them. KISS has never listened to critics-we have always listened only to the fans," said Gene Simmons. "It's time to give back to the fans
with bigger shows and longer set lists. And for the first time anywhere, we want our fans to tell us where they want us, and when."
Said Paul Stanley, "No band has ever given their fans the power to decide what cities they play, and no fans deserve it more than ours. We're leaving the next U.S. and Canadian tour up to the Army.
When they stand up, they will be counted!"
Just for voting for their town, all KISS fans will have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets prior to the general on-sale. In addition to joining in on the major campaigns launched by rock
radio in each city, fans are also incentivized to create their own viral videos online, motivating their fellow residents to participate in casting votes for a KISS show in their city. City-specific
"best-of" compilation reels of these videos will be shown on jumbo screens at venues before each concert.
On this upcoming tour, fans will be treated to a set of some of rock's greatest hits, including "Rock and Roll All Nite," "I Was Made for Lovin' You," "Detroit Rock City," "God Gave Rock & Roll
to You" and "Shout It Out Loud," among many others. The band is currently recording its first new studio album in 11 years (produced by Paul Stanley).
----
Per la prima volta nella storia del Rock un tour sarà deciso dai fans!!!
I KISS saranno in Tour negli US e Canada nelle città che saranno votate dai fans stessi!!!
Il tour partirà ai primi di Settembre.

Like everything else in the world of Rock & Roll, everything planned can change in a minute.
Okay...this was the plan. The four of us, Doc, Danny (our security chief, for those of you just joining us) and new tour manager Mike would fly commercial to Miami and where we would hop aboard our
jet for the 9 hour flight down to Santiago. Paul and I meet up at LAX, the international airport here in sunny Los Angeles. With every medicine known to man for any and all calamities in his bag, a
rolling suitcase, huge sunglasses and a passport stuffed with visas and permits from all the other world tours in his hand, Paul looks like some sort of incognito rock star crossed with a pack
mule.
But where is Gene??Well, it turns out he had written his car pick-up time down wrong and wasn't going to make the flight, so the tour already is "business as usual"! I was surprised though, because
that kind of stuff never happens with Gene. Eric showed up late, but in time to make the flight. He LOVES watches. Maybe he should look at it. Gene will fly commercial on a later flight with our
assistant road manager "Dependable" Dean and meet us in Santiago.
About four hours later, we land in Miami and make our way to the private aviation terminal where our flight crew and flight attendant watch as the KISS jet is being stuffed and stocked with dinner,
drinks and amenities for our next journey. A great dinner and a short stop for fuel Panama City, we all hunkered down for six hours of solid sleep on our way to Chile.
Just at daybreak we touched down into the Santiago sunshine. The ride to the hotel seems as long as the flight. Maybe because we're all hungry and talking about breakfast at the hotel. We'll rest
today and Eric will walk the city. He IS the Energizer Bunny! Tomorrow (Friday) we start the South American leg of the KISS Alive/35 World tour at the sold-out Estadio Municipal de la Florida Stadium
in Santiago, Chile. I'll get back to ya!
