KISS is an institution that is more than 30 years strong and will not die. Their new double DVD, "Rock The Nation," proves how - despite the loss of original members drummer Peter Criss and guitarist Ace Frehley - the band marches on determined to prove to the world their validity. Fouding members guitarist Paul Stanley and bassist Gene Simmons keep the dream alive by adding drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer to the mix, trumping up the band's song.

As you may remember, all four members of the original KISS lineup went on a farewell tour in 2000 with a plan to retire the band. However, they changed their minds. "What became clear after the end of the farewell tour is that I didn't want to stop playing, I just wanted to stop playing with those guys," said Paul Stanley. "We had done something monumental by coming back together but it started to wane when the old problems reared their heads. The limitations of the band started to creep in again. It became difficult if not impossible to change the set list. We ended up playing the same set for three tours. It became old and tense when people's quirks and personality problems just became evident."

The fans resoundingly didn't want the band to end and KISS responded to their needs. "I realized that our restrictions were self-imposed. Everybody is entitled to change their mind," said Stanley. "The line-up changed and took its natural course. First Peter was gone, then Ace decided he didn't want to go back on tour. The question is: do we stay home because somebody doesn't want to tour or do we continue because we want to?"

The first call the band made to replace Criss was their old drummer Eric Singer (Badlands, Alice Cooper band) from the early 1990s. "It was natural to get Eric and he was ready to come back," Stanley said. "He's a great drummer, a fantastic singer and a real team player."

Tommy Thayer, originally from the band Black N' Blue, worked as Frehley's guitar tech and wound up in the band. "Tommy was the first choice because he was always the relief hitter sitting on the bench," said Stanley. "He was the guy who would work with the members of the band so everybody knew their parts. Once he joined the band, his playing was phenomenal."

New guys Singer and Thayer not only joined the band but also jumped into Criss' and Frehley's make-up and costumes, which raised a few eyebrows. Stanley felt the transition was natural. "We resolved ourselves clearly that over 30 years had been spent building four iconic images. To suddenly bring in giraffe-boy or ant-man was ridiculous. KISS is those four personalities and images," he said. "You can take a picture of KISS anywhere in the world and show it to somebody and say, 'Who is this?' Can they name every member, absolutely not, but they know those images because they are undeniable."

When asked if this move upset Criss or Frehley, Stanley said, "I'm sure - maybe some more than others, but you don't always get things your way. In a perfect world, the original band would have been together. When circumstances and personalities make it impossible then I'm not going to suffer for those bumps in the road."

While the band has no plans to record a new album they will continue to tour. "Rest assured there'll be another tour," said Stanley, "As far as new material goes, the bottom line is people want to hear the classics. They'll tolerate a few new songs, But why work my ass off to make new songs when they prefer the older stuff? We have a tremendous amount of archival materialand we are currently putting the finishing touches on a series that will be similar to the one Martin Scorsese did with Bob Dylan."

Even though KISS is not recording, Stanley recently completed a new solo album. He's currently shopping for a label and plans to release the album in 2006, which will be followed by a solo tour. Regarding the sound of the album, he said "It sounds like me but with more flexability."

Stanley also hopes to perform "Phantom Of The Opera" on Broadway at some point after his successful run in Toronto. "That's still in the cards, it's just a matter of finding the right time," he said. "The work ethic and discipline of theater is something that would leave most bands in a crying heap. There's no room for complaints but I thrived in that environment." Stanley and Simmons have been partners for decades. Although their personalities differ heavily, the relationship seems to work. "We have a deep and complex relationship based on understanding it's possibilities and limitations. I think the key to having a good partnership is to not expect what's impossible and make the most of what is," said Stanley. "We are different people, always have been, but we use that to the best advantages of the band. We're brothers in business."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recently announced their new class to be inducted in March 2006. Although KISS has been eligible for years, the band has been constantly overlooked. Stanley is not surprised. "The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a joke. They prove that year in and out with their nominations. It's about being part of an exclusive club," he said. "If I decided tomorrow to start my own organization called The Society Of Rock Legends - who the hell am I? Somehow this organization got some sort of clout. It has nothing to do with mass impact or mass sales. The question is: what does it represent? At some point they'll have to cave-in but it won't change me."

Despite their omission from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, KISS has been one of the most influential bands of all times. Many bands steal from KISS and Stanley doesn't mind. "I think I'm an original in the sense that I created something that became identified with me. But, my ideas were based upon my heroes and influences. It's just the sum of those parts that equaled something new," he said. "I'm very flattered that people have borrowed from what I've done. I did the same. I didn't come up with windmills and jumping in the air. The road I walked was paved by Steve Marriott, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards and Robert Plant. It's in the mixture of influences that you come up with something that yours."

At this point, KISS knows that they can't top themselves but they strive to maintain the high level of quality that they've established. "We can go horizontal. I don't know if we can go vertical," said Stanley. "Our new DVD is proof of that. It shows who we are today and how we've never changed. The band not only still exists, but we are better than ever. It's not a matter of who's in the band - it's a matter that it's KISS. KISS has to be more than a name and a bunch of songs."

There has been a rumor circulating for years that Stanley & Simmons plan on continuing KISS without them, bringing in younger guys. Stanley said, "Anything is possible. KISS in the sense exists without us becaues the merchandise is all about the four iconic images. It could happen."

Raucous cafe to bear brand of rock band, developer says

From: The Sun News, By: Dawn Bryant

The band KISS is adding one more ingredient to sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll: coffee.

The rockers, known for slapping their brand on everything from coffins to coasters since their heyday in the 1970s, will show a more mature side this spring when the first KISS Coffeehouse makes its debut at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach.

Don't expect the same old laid-back coffee place.

This is KISS, a band known for its legendary partying, stage theatrics and white-and-black makeup.

Envision servers donning the trademark KISS face paint for special occasions and KISS classics blaring as a machine whips up the trademark KISS Frozen Rockuccino or a French KISS Vanilla.

"This concept is a little different," said Brian Galvin, a KISS fan for 31 years who developed the coffeehouse idea. "It's a stimulating environment to drink a stimulating beverage."

The coffeehouse will fill a 1,305-square-foot corner space at Celebrity Square, across from the Key West Grill. It willsometime this spring or early summer. Officials didn't give an exact date. Galvin said band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley plan to attend the grandng.

Myrtle Beach offers the perfect stage for a KISS Coffeehouse, Galvin said, because of its appeal to the "Middle America" market, the segment likely to "Rock and Roll All Nite."

The Hard Rock Cafe, which has Paul Stanley's guitar and signed photos of other band members, is eager to welcome its new Celebrity Square neighbor, general manager Mike Davis said.

"Everything that is rock 'n' roll is good for us. One happy family," he said. "I can't see why it wouldn't work. They are kind of a caffeine, high-energy band so that makes sense."

If the KISS-themed coffee blends and sweets back up the eye-catching entrance, the coffeehouse will do well, said Pat Dowling, spokesman for Burroughs & Chapin Co. Inc., which owns Broadway and prides itself on family values.

"It's different," he said. "It's not offensive at all. It's just fun. People will see it and say, 'That's cool. That's new. Let's go see.'"

Dowling downplayed the band's once raucous reputation.

"The band KISS was just an act," he said. "I don't think they are after the same attention anymore." KISS has become a merchandising machine, putting its name and flair on hundreds of items, including bowling balls, checks, a coffin, ceramic tile and silver coins.

Signatures Network of San Francisco, which handles licensing for KISS, declined to comment on the coffeehouse Friday.

Galvin's company, The Galvin Group Inc. in Warwick, R.I., operates two Ben & Jerry ice cream shops, one in Florida and another in Connecticut. This is Galvin's first project with the band, and the band's first foray into food, he said.

Galvin plans tomore locations, possibly one in Las Vegas, if this one is a hit, he said.

ACE FREHLEY: 'I'd Love To Do An Instructional Video'

From: Blabbermouth.net

Guitar World magazine (web site) recently conducted a short interview with original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Guitar World: What inspired you to play guitar:
Ace Frehley: "I was raised in a musical household, so I was surrounded by music all day long. My parents played piano, and my brother and sister played piano and folk guitar. My brother showed me a few chords on his acoustic guitar. The one day I visited a friend who had an electric guitar and a small amp, and it changed my life. I held the guitar in my hands, turned the volume to 10 and hit the low E string, and the sound just droned. I was hooked! It was like a heroin addict's first shot of dope."

Guitar World: What was the first song that you learned how to play?
Ace Frehley: "'(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' by THE ROLLING STONES. Shortly thereafter, I learned how to play another ROLLING STONES song, 'The Last Time', and it made me feel so good about myself. Not only did I figure out how to play itbut I got the exact sound from an Ampeg Reverberocket amp my dad had bought me. I had the riff and the reverb!"

Guitar World: What was your mosr embarrassing moment onstage?
Ace Frehley: "Getting electrocuted in Lakeland, Florida during the 'Destroyer' tour. It was right before KISS got wireless guitars. I was walking down these steps onstage with those very-high-heeled boots. I grabbed the railing because I was losing my balance. The railing wasn't grounded properly and I got zapped with 240 volts. I saw sparks and don't remember much else. I was told the roadies carried me offstage. I had burns on my hand and the band had to stop the show. When I finally regained consciousness, I couldn't feel my right hand. It was scary."

Guitar World: What have you been doing lately?
Ace Frehley: "I've been working on a solo album and a few film projects. I'd love to do an instructional video, but I want it to be comedic. [Laughs] I don't want it to be just another boring how-to-play video. I may not be the world's greatest guitarist, but at least I'm never boring."

KISS licking bootleggers with the Commerce Clause

From: Law.com

Plaintiffs Gene Klein (aka GENE SIMMONS), PAUL STANLEY and their KISS Catalog, Ltd. have made some progress in their lawsuit against Passport International Products, a company that has been selling a DVD of a July 10, 1976 concert the band KISS performed at New Jersey's Roosevelt Stadium. Cathy Kirkman reports in the Silicon Valley Media Law Blog that a California district court upheld the federal anti-bootlegging statute, 17 U.S.C. 1101, as constitutional.

Kirkman explains how "the Court concluded that the legislation was within the scope of the Commerce Clause and not 'fundamentally inconsistent' with the Copyright Clause."

GENE SIMMONS Co-Authors 'I Am Indy' Campaign Signature Song

From: Blabbermouth.net

The IndyCar Series has announced that it has forged a unique marketing alliance with KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons and entertainment industry veteran Richard Abramson, principals in the Hollywood-based Simmons Abramson Marketing company.

The broad-based agreement will see Simmons Abramson Marketing actively engaged in the league's marketing, event, public relations, sponsorship, merchandising and branding efforts — from its IndyCar Series to the venerable Indianapolis 500.

Today's announcement of the partnership is highlighted with the debut of the "I Am Indy" campaign that is anchored by a signature song, co-authored by Simmons and BAG. The effort marks the first official theme song for a modern professional sport. With its growling affirmations and foot-stomping, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" sensibility, the "I Am Indy" song forges a resonant link between the drivers and the IndyCar Series fans.

"Indy cars are rockets on the ground. These drivers are modern knights in shining armor, risking their lives at close to 225 mph," Simmons said. "'I Am Indy' speaks to the independent spirit in all of us."

KISS Featured On New Millennium DVD Box

From: KISSKollector.com

Millennium – The Complete Third Season, the recently released 6-DVD box set of the third season of TV series Millennium, features several KISS sightings as KISS was part of the final season's fifth episode. Of course, the episode guest starring KISS – titled …Thirteen Years Later – is part of the box (disc 2), but as a bonus the box also includes a 38 minute documentary (on disc 6) entitled End Game: Making Millennium Season Three which is dedicated for the main part to the series’ Halloween special guest starring KISS – which originally aired on October 30, 1998.

The documentary features some cool backstage footage plus interviews. Cast and crew proudly reminisce the KISS themed episode. One of their stories deals with Ace Frehley, who apparently only wanted to participate if he could play a very big, black man. Due to time limitations that wasn’t possible, and Ace agreed upon playing the part of a trinity cop (just like Peter Criss, whereas Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons had other small roles - apart from appearing as KISS in concert too of course). Originally, Ace had five lines but those who’ve seen the eposide know that the speaking parts were cut in the editing room. Click here for some interview footage including KISS, with Gene fooling around with actor Lance Henriksen and Paul talking about being part of Millennium. Pictured below is KISS on the set of Millennium with lead character FBI profiler Frank Black, played by Lance Henriksen.
