GENE SIMMONS GOT MERRIED??

Last night Gene appeared on the Lopez Tonight show, and this how lopeztonight.com advertised the event: "Gene appeared on LOPEZ TONIGHT and talked about the undying love he has for his wife, and co-KISS founder Paul Stanley. Plus, Gene relates wild stories from the road, including sleeping with a nun-to-be, and signing a human leg that a fan threw onto the stage!" Kissonline.com also reported the news...is that real???

 

Da quanto riportato sia Kissonline.com che Lopeztonight.com Gene sarebbe sposato con Shannon Tweed....errore di stampa o un altro "mito" che cade???

DANGERZONE STRIKES BACK
I'm proud to announce that DANGERZONE a great Hard Rock Band with Giacomo Gigantelli (JulietKiss, Live4Win) on lead vocals will be out shortly with their "Line Of Fire" CD via Avenue of Allies!!
After a forced silence of almost 18 years Danger Zone are once again back in the folds and their famous and never published “Line of Fire” album ready to finally shine. The Italian Hard rock group, formed by guitarist Roberto Priori in 1980 and disbanded in 1992 after releasing the EP "Victim of Time"  in 1984 (6° in the Kerrang's import charts) and several live performances all over Europe and USA,  is yet on target and set to regain what was lost in the past: the Italian Hard Rock scene leadership. Roberto after partnering again with long time fellows and original band's members Giacomo Gigantelli on vocals and Paolo Palmieri on drums joined forces with Roberto Galli, bass and Michele Vanni, guitars & keyboards to feed once again the breeze of the Classic Rock on our lands. While the guys are currently busy writing new materials and rehearsing in the studio, Avenue of Allies proudly gives to the lights of the day (January 28th 2011) what have been the most obscure and yet highly awaited Italian Hard rock Album of all times, “Line of Fire”. Roberto Priori recently stated: "We are really excited to finally have the “Line of  Fire” CD in our hands and we are getting ready to hit the stage again soon!!" Originally recorded under the executive production by Francesco Sanavio and Stephan Galphas (Stryper, China, Meat Loaf)  with the artistic production of Jody Gray (E.Z.O., Loudness, China) and Mark Cobrin (E.Z.O, Loudness, P.Simon) “Line of  Fire” has been mixed at Quad Studios in New York and witnessed the collaborations of huge artists such as Michaels Des Barres as writer and Grace Jones on background vocals just to name a few. With a new mastering done by Roberto Priori, “Line of  Fire” is here to blow your mind away and bring you back in the magic of the classic eighties rock. And the story has just begun! Danger Zone will be touring soon in support of the album and they will be back in the studio to release what will be their come back masterpiece. CD samples available here

Oggi sono orgoglioso di annunciarvi che i DANGERZONE, una storica band italiana di Hard Rock che ha come vocalist Giacomo Gigantelli (JulietKiss, Live4Win) vedrà prsto pubblicato il loro "Line OF Fire" tramite Avenue OF Allies.
Dopo un forzato silenzio durato quasi 18 anni i Danger Zone sono di nuovo in corsa per riprendersi quello che è andato perso anni fa: lo scettro della scena Hard Rock Italiana ed il loro famosissimo e mai pubblicato “black album”, "Line of Fire" è pronto finalmente per risuonare nei vostri impianti stereo. La band bolognese, capitanata dal noto chitarrista e produttore Roberto Priori costituitasi nel 1980 e poi sfortunatamente sciolta nel 1992 dopo aver pubblicato il notevole EP "Victim of Time" nel 1984 (6°nella classifica Import di Kerrang) e numerose esibizioni live in tutta Europa e negli Stati Uniti, torna ora a nuova vita più carica ed esplosiva che mai. Roberto, dopo avere rinsaldato i legami con i vecchi compagni di avventura e membri della formazione originale, Giacomo Gigantelli alla voce e Paolo Palmieri alla batteria ha portato nella nuova band Roberto Galli, basso e Michele Vanni, chitarre e tastiere, pronti per ricreare le magiche atmosfere del mitico Classic Rock degli anni '80, ma con una nuovo e moderno stile che li renderà ancora una volta unici nel panorama del Rock nostrano e non solo. Mentre i ragazzi sono attualmente impegnati a scrivere nuovo materiale e a provare in studio, l’etichetta tedesca Avenues of Allies (distribuita in Italia da Frontiers Records) è pronta per dare alla luce (Gennaio 2011) quello che molti hanno decretato essere uno dei più ricercati ed attesi album hard rock italiano di tutti i tempi, "Line of Fire". Roberto Priori ha recentemente dichiarato: "Siamo davvero entusiasti di avere finalmente il CD di "Line of Fire" tra le mani e ci stiamo preparando con grande energia ed entusiasmo a salire di nuovo sul palco molto presto!"
Originariamente registrato sotto la produzione esecutiva di Francesco Sanavio e Stephan Galphas (Stryper, Cina, Meat Loaf) con la produzione artistica di Jody Gray (EZO, Loudness, Cina) e Mark Cobrin (EZO, Loudness, P. Simon) "Line of Fire "è stato mixato ai Quad Studios di New York e ha avuto collaborazioni di artisti di enorme fama come Michaels Des Barres come compositore e Grace Jones ai cori, solo per citarne alcuni.
Con il nuovo mastering ad opera di Roberto Priori, "Line of Fire" è pronto a sconvolgere le vostre idee sul Rock e vi riporterà nella magia della grande musica degli anni ottanta.
E la storia è appena cominciata! I Danger Zone saranno presto in tour in supporto all'album e torneranno in sala di incisione per registrare quello che sarà il capolavoro del loro ritorno. Ascoltate i samples qui

NEW KISS BOOK IN THE WORKS

KISS author Dale Sherman recently announced via his Facebook account:
"The contract is signed, so I might as well spill the beans – I was contacted by a well-established publisher in New York to write a new unofficial book about KISS, which should be out sometime in late 2011. So what is there left to say about KISS? There’s been plenty of books out about them. Still, there are a lot of bits and pieces about the band that still haven’t been discussed in great detail yet.  Namely the type of trivia, facts and figures that are the things we fans discuss late in the evening when no one but the die-hards are still around." So, wait and see!

 

Un altro libro sui KISS, a cura di Dale Sherman, verrà pubblicato nel corso del 2011. Non si sa però ancora molto in merito al progetto. Aspettiamo!!
