PAUL STANLEY TALKS MONSTER AND HIS FORTHCOMING BOOK

Marko Syrjala and Petteri Limnell (KISS Army Finland) recently conducted an interview with KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley for Metal-Rules.com. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

PAUL STANLEY: I think [MONSTER] it’s terrific. I mean I have said it so many time already, you know, the idea wasn’t to make an album that sounded like we once sounded. It was to make an album that sound like we have never sounded. The idea of making of an album that is a retro album… I wasn’t interested of that. I wanted to make an album that has vitality and passion and that’s a great rock album. I don’t want to make a great KISS album. I don’t want to be judged by other KISS albums. It’s ok to judge KISS by KISS but it’s also nice to open up the gates and say not how good is this compared to KISS albums but how good is this comparing to the albums that I love.

I think it’s all we wanted it to be. It’s not a great KISS album, its great rock album. I didn’t want us to make an album, some bands remember saying, “Oh, they are making an album that sounds like they did”. I wanted to do an album that sounds like we never did. Something that’s new...

PAUL STANLEY: I love life. Every day is an adventure. We don’t know what life holds for us, we don’t know what the future is and as much as we may like to plan, life happens. And while we are making plans life is happening. So I’m just waking up every day to my plans, but I’m also open to see what the other day holds for me. I have always been a very private person and haven’t change in that sense, but yes, there will be an autobiography out next year. 

What is the state of KISSOLOGY 4.... Is it coming out this year?

PAUL STANLEY: Yeah, yeah. Read more at Metal-rules.com

In una intervista esclusiva con Metal-rules Paul conferma l'uscita di KISSOLOGY 4 per quest'anno, commenta molti pezzi di Monster e annuncia l'uscita della sua autobiografia per l'anno prossimo!!

MONSTER GOES HOLLYWOOD

From Rolling Stone: Hours after their Viper Room appearance [Monster Book press conference], Simmons and Stanley stopped by Universal in Santa Monica to share four songs in a private meeting with the label's movie and TV music supervisors. In a downstairs lounge, the rock icons sat on a small stage and introduced each of the songs, beginning with the driving Sixties-style grind of "Long Way Down" and continuing into "Wall of Sound," which rocked with a grinding boogie rhythm. Still wearing what he called his "asshole glasses," Simmons joked with Stanley between tracks and offered to personally close the deal with any filmmaker considering use of a new Kiss song. Both also complained about the room's sound system, which gave the songs a muddier sound than intended; Stanley joked about buying the label a new one. Tellingly, the new cut "Freak" banged with classic-rock riffs and a searing Thayer guitar lead. "It doesn't matter how rich you are, how successful; we proudly wave that flag," Stanley told his audience of the song. "We are freaks, remain freaks, and hopefully you do, too." Read more

MY FIRST JOB: GENE SIMMONS

by Alexandra Cheney

It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock’n'roll, claims AC/DC. For Gene Simmons, bassist for KISS and former movie star, that was most certainly the case. The rocker, now 62, earned his first buck ($1.75 actually) scrubbing fat off the local butcher’s chopping block at age 12. “From the fat butcher block to the KISS empire, it’s always been about pride,” said Simmons. “Pride in what you do, doing it well, and who you are.” More

Il primo lavoro di Gene Simmon? a 12 anni, garzone in una macelleria, $1.75 al giorno per pulire e togliere il grasso dal tagliere del macellaio. "E' sempre stata una questione di orgoglio, sia scrostando dal grasso il tagliere del macellaio che stando in cima all'impero KISS".

KISS 2.0 MORE AND MORE HOT TOPIC WITH GENE&PAUL

Both Gene and Paul have been talking a possible new whole KISS line up since a couple of years, but it never took the level as last months where both the two KISS funding members mention the story on every given interview. This is what Paul recently stated to UTSandiego.com : "The band is bigger than its members, and it only takes, in this case, four like-minded people with a similar outlook and talent to further the cause and continue Kiss. It makes perfect sense to me. It may not make sense to other bands, but we’re not other bands. We don’t live by those rules. We never have. I’m damn good at what I do but do I think I’m the only person capable of doing what I do? Absolutely not. I’m not talking about a clone (of me), but somebody with the same passion, drive and love for the music I love. So, can I envision a time when I won’t be here anymore? Absolutely. It’s not tomorrow, or next week. But when it happens, I would be celebratory. Because it would prove that I was right and that Kiss is exactly what I believe it is: an ideal, a way of performing, a point of view. It’s an attitude, and the respect and love (we have for) our audience.”

Will it work? As a Las Vegas show probably but for us at DeuceNews KISS without Gene&Paul is not KISS we love...

E' ormai da un paio di anni che sia Gene che Paul parlano di una possibile formazione dei KISS senza loro due, ma è da alcuni mesi che non perdono occasione per discutere dell'argomento in ogni intervista quasi a preparare il terreno ad un imminente abbandono dei palchi da parte dei due grandi vecchi del gruppo. In una recente intervista Paul definisce più che probabile la nascita di nuovi KISS con una formazione completamente rinnovata. Funzionerà? Noi di DeuceNews pensiamo che i KISS sono e saranno sempre e solo la band dei due grandi vecchi, senza di loro non saranno più i KISS che amiamo.

KISS REHEARSING FOR "THE TOUR"

KISS are rehearsing and busy with pre-production for "THE TOUR" that will kick off this friday July 20 in Virginia (all dates here). Later last week Paul talked about touring and MONSTER with Iain Blair from Reuters, here an excerpt

Q: After all these years, do you still feel pressure when you hit the road?
A: "I do. I'm very excited about it but I also know there's a lot to live up to. We're really up against our own reputation and the legend of what KISS is supposed to be, and that grows bigger and bigger. How much of it's true I don't know, but we have to live up to that."
Q: So what can fans expect?
A: "The apocalypse! It's a lot more than people usually get in one night. It's being bombarded with rock'n'roll. Motley's co-headlining, and one thing we didn't want to do was the kind of sabotage between bands that happens. We always figured, let a band go out and do the greatest show they can, and that'll only amp us up to do what we do that much better. There's no ego clashes, and this is another way to give fans more than just a concert - it's an event."
Q: What about the new album which you also produced? What can fans expect from that?
A: "'Monster' is done. Its heart is beating, and it's chained down until we release it in October. I was asked if it's a great Kiss album and I said, forget about Kiss - I truly believe it's far beyond being a Kiss album. It's a great album of its genre with all the elements of all the classic bands that I listened to - all the music that inspired me - The Who, the Stones, Humble Pie, (Eric) Clapton, (Jimi) Hendrix, Led Zeppelin. That's what I grew up with, and it inspired me to create passion, chaos, something sexually aggressive that'd celebrate life. That's a description of rock'n'roll."

I KISS sono impegnati in questi giorni nelle ultime prove per il Tour che partirà questo venerdì in Virginia, tutte le date qui.

Recentemente Paul ha parlato di come sarà il prossimo tour, "sarà un Apocalisse di rock'nroll", e del tanto atteso Monster in uscita il 15 Ottobre. "Monster è pronto è un grande album ed è molto di più di un KISS album, è tutto quello che per me rappresenta la musica che mi ha ispirato, The Who, Stones, Humble Pie, (Eric) Clapton, (Jimi) Hendrix, Led Zeppelin."

DESTROYER RESURRECTED OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

From Kissonline.com:"Destroyer boasts plenty of sound effects, orchestras, and choirs that paved the way for other bands to rip them off for many years to come… easily one of the best albums in the Kiss canon.” - Pitchfork
KISS is regarded as one of the most influential rock and roll bands of all-time and holds the honor as one of America’s top gold-record champions. On August 21, 2012, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will release KISS’s 1976 multi-platinum, landmark album Destroyer: Resurrected, newly remixed from the original master tapes by the album’s original producer, Bob Ezrin. Ezrin pulled the tapes from the vaults and painstakingly remixed the entire album, enhancing the sound and bringing out its rich texture and vibrancy, while keeping the integrity of the original recording intact. Destroyer: Resurrected will also include rare and unreleased recordings rediscovered during the remixing process, plus the originally intended cover artwork. Hot on the heels of their breakthrough hit album Alive!, KISS released their fourth studio album Destroyer which is considered the most ambitious studio recording of KISS's '70s catalog. Bob Ezrin, who had previously worked with Alice Cooper, was brought in to produce the album and among the production flourishes Ezrin introduced to KISS were sound effects, strings, a children’s choir, reversed drumming and the eerie, echoing sounds of screaming children over Gene Simmons’ vocals on “God of Thunder.” Upon its release, Destroyer reached the No. 11 position on the Billboard Top 200 and, with the help of the surprise top-10 hit “Beth,” was their first album to go platinum. Originally released as the B-side to the single “Detroit Rock City,” “Beth,”–the heart-yearning ballad co-written and performed by drummer Peter Criss–was quickly picked up by radio nationwide and became the first top 10 for KISS, climbing all the way to the No. 7 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. While going through the original tapes, a forgotten vocal piece that was originally edited out in the final mix of “Beth” was discovered and now, for the first time, the complete original vocal recording has been restored and is included in the final mix. Other rediscovered gems include a complete, alternate guitar solo for the track “Sweet Pain,” now heard for the first time since it was originally recorded. The newly remixed “Sweet Pain” with the original guitar solo will be included as a bonus track. In addition to the treasures found buried in the hours of recordings, KISS classics such as “Detroit Rock City,” “Shout It Out Loud,” “Do You Love Me?” and “God of Thunder” were painstakingly remixed by Ezrin as he fleshed out the drums and guitars, bringing out the bottom end to the bass, making his mixes tight and tough.  In addition, Destroyer: Resurrected will now be issued with the originally intended cover art thought too controversial for the time. Created by artist Ken Kelly, the “brown” cover depicts KISS dressed in their ALIVE! costumes and standing on rubble in front of a burning city in ruins. At the time, the record company thought it was too violent and settled for the tamer “blue” version known today. This release also marked the first time that a comic-book illustration of the band appeared on the cover, confirming that the band was transforming from hard rockers to superheroes. To this day, Destroyer remains one of the group’s most ambitious recordings and greatest accomplishments. In both Kerrang! and Guitar World magazine it is listed as one of the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" and in 2003, it was included on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Now, with today’s state-of-the-art technology, this landmark release can be heard the way that KISS intended.

Confermata ufficialmente l'uscita della versione remixata di Destroyer (anche in vinile) per il 21 di Agosto. Unico pezzo in più rispetto alla track list originale una versione con diverso solo di chitarra di Sweet pain. La copertina, come da noi anticipato ieri, sarà la versione originale del disegno di Ken Kelly con i costumi usati nel tour di Alive! e non i costumi ideati proprio per Destroyer.

KISS ROCKED LONDON: EXCLUSIVE REPORT

Hotter then hell show in London yesterday! DeuceNews' friend Antonio was there and he told us the crowd went crazy for a stunning show from KISS and Hell or Halleluyah live debut. Paul sounded good and the band was in top form.

Here the setlist:

‘Detroit Rock City’ ‘Hell Or Hallelujah’ ‘Deuce’ ‘Shout It Out Loud’ ‘Makin' Love’ ‘I Love It Loud’ ‘Shock Me’ ‘Calling Dr. Love’ ‘100,000 Years’ ‘Love Gun’ ‘Black Diamond’ Encore: ‘Crazy Crazy Nights’ ‘Lick It Up’ Rock and Roll All Nite ‘God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II'

Serata bellissima a parte il caldone dentro al forum! L'ambiente prima e dopo il concerto era  quello tipico londinese, pub birra etc. Il concerto è stato quello classico a parte l'audience infuocata e ovviamente Hell or hallelujah.
La voce di paul non mi è sembrata affatto male, anzi ! Eric è sempre un mito e di gruppo sono sembrati molto buoni!!! Insomma pronti per The tour!!!!

MONSTER INVASION CONTINUES! BIGGEST BAND IN AMERICA – KISS - ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM MONSTER IN STORES OCTOBER 15, INTERNATIONALLY, OCTOBER 16 IN NORTH AMERICA
Worldwide Premiere of Lyric Video July 3, 12 Noon EST across VEVO
“We’re a real, flesh-and-blood rock and roll band with people who’ve spent 40 years doing what we believe in.” – Paul Stanley, 2012 Rock legends KISS return with Monster, the 20th studio album in their historic career, set for release in October 15 (October 16 in North America) through Universal Music Enterprises. The band’s first single, the full-throttle, autobiographical rocker “Hell or Hallelujah,” is available digitally today, July 3, and makes its worldwide premiere with the lyric video across VEVO, the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform, which includes VEVO.com, mobile, connected devices and syndication partners like YouTube. Monster, the 12-track, straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll album features collaborations among all four members—including co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and longtime members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer—in an album that shows the band at the top of its game. And that’s saying something, considering their illustrious, 40-plus year history—28 U.S. gold albums, the most gold records for any American rock band, 40 million sales in the U.S., and a total exceeding 100 million worldwide. Monster represents KISS’ nod to the music that first inspired them to pick up their guitars and flame-throwers and don makeup to entertain millions. The group goes back to their own beginnings. “There are no symphony orchestras, boy choirs, keyboards, outside producers or songwriters on this album,” promises Gene Simmons. “The best thing we did was to turn inwards to ourselves. Tommy and Eric have revitalized this band, with a work ethic and the talent to back it up. This is a real band effort. KISS has become a behemoth. We’re going where no bands have gone before.” On July 4, the day after “Hell or Hallelujah” hits digital retail in North America, KISS crosses the ocean for its very own Tea Party, performing an Independence Day show at The Forum in London, a holiday most certainly not celebrated in the U.K., though this show might just offer some reparation for that bitter defeat in 1776. The concert will serve as a benefit for the British “Help for Heroes” organization, which raises money for its wounded, sick and injured troops.

Finalmente la data definitiva dell'uscita per MONSTER: 15 Ottobre 2012.

OLSO ROCK CITY: EXCLUSIVE NEWS&REVIEW FROM OSLO

Our friends Paolo and Chiara had a blast in Olso attending the KISS concert and meeting KISS in town where the mighty Eric revealed KISS will perform Hell or Halleluyah live in London at the HMV Forum. Here some exclusive photos

Chiara e Paolo turisti non per caso a Oslo Rock City !

Ecco l'esclusivo reportage da Oslo per DeuceNews, testo e foto Chiara e Paolo.

L' area del concerto era enorme e ben attrezzata , c' erano 3 palchi sui quali si alternavano le bands , il concerto dei KISS è stato molto bello e coinvolgente è cominciato alle 21.30 ( era ancora chiaro ) ed è finito alle 23.00 con esplosione di fuochi pirotecnici ! Eravamo in primissima fila ! Grande show con bellissimi effetti pirotecnici e fuochi di ogni tipo ! Paul era fisicamente in formissima ! molto asciutto e tonico ! La voce direi buona anche se sono ormai lontani alcuni acuti di qualche anno fa.  Il pubblico presente , quasi totalmente li per i KISS , è stato meraviglioso ed ha accompagnato i KISS per tutto il concerto con enorme calore e partecipazione.  I KISS erano alloggiati nell' enorme e bellissimo Grand Hotel di Oslo ( vedi foto ). Dopo il concerto , abbiamo incontrato Eric Singer al Mc Donald' s di Oslo verso l' una di notte , e' stato gentilissimo , abbiamo parlato di DeuceNews e del KISS Expo di Modena e... di Lamborghini , Maserati e orologi ,  mi ha detto che HELL OR HALLELUJAH verrà eseguita live a Londra ! E questa si che è una news !!!!
