KISS "MONSTER TOUR" STAGE BY SERPENT 3D

Press Release. "Two months in the making, Serpent3D is excited to announce the release our depiction of KISS new stage design including all new special effects for the upcoming «Monster» tour of 2012. Serpent3D has designed a full new stage set with all new special effects based on the great tradition of the «Destroyer», «Alive II», «Dynasty» and «Creatures of the Night» stage designs. All of those former stage sets had a theme to them, of which some parts have been adapted — but completely transformed — into the «Monster» stage show. The «Monster» stage set design from Serpent 3D can be seen and interpreted in many ways. From a distance it may look like a four legged monster, but up close one can easily imagine the various pieces having been made up of a real aircraft. In fact, there are actual elements of a B-52 Superfortress aircraft along with a polish anti-aircraft gun incorporated into the design. The aviation theme is also incorporated into the arches carrying the light rig: Although bent into an arch, the shape suggests an aircraft wing." More

GENE SIMMONS TALKS NEW MONSTER ALBUM AND WORLD TOUR

Recently Gene Simmons talked to Mojo Magazine about the forthcoming Monster album, here some excerpt.

Monster recordings: “Technology is a seductive bitch, she will seduce you. You press this button, you don’t have to do anything. But analog is the love of your life. You can push real hard and it always gives back. For the new album, the actual recording process was 24-track tape and an old Trident board. And as many tubes as possible. You need tubes, electricity and thick wood to make that thick sound.”

Read all Monster chronicles here
Monster world tour “If you can bear it, there will be even more kick-in-the-nuts effects,” he insists. “We’ve had many effects on-stage [over the years], but now we plan to bring the action to you. We’ll have to start making seats with safety harnesses, so people can buckle in.” Monster tour news here

Gene Simmons ha rivelato a Mojo Magazine che il nuovo album Monster è stato registrato in analogico con un 24 piste per riproporre il vecchio e classico KISS sound, mentre per il prossimo tour sono alla studio nuovi effetti visivi che coinvolgeranno direttamente gli spettatori!!

PAUL STANLEY UNDERWENT SUCCESFUL SURGERY

Los Angeles (CNN) -- KISS lead singer Paul Stanley underwent successful surgery for "recurring vocal cord issues" Tuesday that the musician said Wednesday "come with 40 years of preaching rock 'n' roll."

His doctors say Stanley, who's been touring and recording with KISS for nearly 40 years, will make a "swift and complete" recovery, according to a statement from his publicist.

"I hold myself to a higher standard than others do," Stanley said. "With that in mind, I wanted to remedy a few minor issues that come with 40 years of preaching rock 'n' roll."

Stanley, 59, is known for his energetic -- and loud -- shows as front man and guitarist for legendary hard rock group.

KISS, one of the longest-running rock acts, stays busy on the road and in the studio. Stanley is producing "Monster," their 20th studio album due out in 2012 as they embark on another global tour.

L'operazione alle corde vocali è andata perfettamene e Paul potrà presto tornare al lavoro per preparare il MONSTER TOUR, che si prospetta essere uno dei più lunghi mai intrapresi dai KISS, e che toccherà l'Europa (due date pianificate per l'Italia), Sud America ed Asia.

KNOWING KISSOLOGY TRIBUTE BAND

KISSOLOGY born in 2003 in Ronco Scrivia, a town in the Genoa area. Like many groups their incubator is a garage where Shawn, Logan, Vincent and Ale profess their faith in rock and especially in KISS! In 2009 joins the group the masked Wild Steel as lead singer. Such big artist (reference point of the progressive metal scene and top-level partner for Underground Symphony label productions) is the kick in the ass man for the band, now ready to conquer the local venues and more. Concerts are continuing at a fire pace and public acceptance grows exponentially a day after another for years now and the 5 guys have the balls to perform high level shows spanning the whole KISS production over their 35 years career.
Next shows Monday, October 31 at INFINITY LIVE PUB Pieve Fissiraga (Lo) and Saturday, November 26, at AREA 51 in Vignole Borbera (AL) where KISSOLOGY will present their live album  out soon (recorded at the AREA 51 back in 2010).

I KISSOLOGY nascono nel 2003 a Ronco Scrivia, un paese in provincia di Genova
E come tanti gruppi la loro incubatrice è un garage dove Ale, Shawn, Logan e Vincent professano la loro fede al rock e sopratutto ai KISS!
Nel 2009 con l'arrivo del mascherato Wild Steel (punto di riferimento della scena progressive metal Ligure e collaboratore di primo livello per le produzioni della Etichetta Underground Symphony) nel ruolo di cantante solista, il gruppo è pronto per conquistare i locali della Riviera Ligure e non solo. I concerti si susseguono a fuoco ed il gradimento del pubblico cresce di giorno in giorno in maniera esponenziale e da anni ormai i 5 ragazzi offrono uno show di altissimo livello che include interamente gli oltre 35 anni di attività della più famosa Rock'n'Roll band americana.
I loro prossimi conerti saranno lunedì 31 ottobre all'INFINITY LIVE PUB di Pieve Fissiraga (Lo) e sabato 26 novembre all'AREA 51 di Vignole Borbera (AL) dove i KISSOLOGY presenteranno il loro album live in uscita prossimamente e registrato proprio all'AREA 51 nel 2010!

Recently Gene sat down with Pete Samson, U.S Editor for the Sun and talked freely about...himself of course! Here some
About his little Agenda black books:"I have 30 years of these and always keep it in my boot. I can't leave the house without it. One day they will all be sold at auction."
About women:"If you're a rock star you will get some, even if you're Lemmy."

Last night Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed married in a beautiful and touching ceremony in a garden outside the Beverly Hills Hotel. Over 400 family and friends witnessed the couple exchange vows and say their "I do's." Nick Simmons was the best man, and Sophie Simmons was the maid of honor. Paul Stanley and Doc McGhee were also in the wedding party.
At the reception Sophie and Nick both toasted their parents, and Paul told a few humorous Gene stories before wishing Gene and Shannon the happiness that he has found in his own marriage. Sophie, Nick, Shannon and Gene all sang during the evening. At one point Paul's son, Evan, played lead guitar as Nick sang the Doors "Roadhouse Blues." Then KISS, in wedding attire, took the stage and performed "Lick It Up", "Shout It Out Loud," and "Rock and Roll All Nite."

Il tanto atteso, sopratutto da Shannon Tweed, matrimonio è stato celebrato lo scorso sabato. Presenti ovviamente i KISS al completo che hanno suonato Lick It Up", "Shout It Out Loud," e "Rock and Roll All Nite", mentre il figlio di Paul, Evan, ha suonato la chitarra solista durante l'esibizione di Nick Simmons che ha cantato il pezzo dei Doors "Roadhouse Blues."
