KISS M&M's

Pictured below is the artwork for the KISS/M&M's chocolate candy ad campaign that is currently running in major magazines (image courtesy of KissOnline.com).

The limited-edition KISS M&M's will be released in October.

The editor of Guitar Player magazine had a chance to preview five songs off the new KISS album, which is scheduled for release in early October. He writes on the publication's Facebook page, "Paul [Stanley, KISS guitarist/vocalist] sings his ass off. Eric [Singer] plays some amazingly powerful drums. Gene [Simmons] was finally made to play all of his bass parts (apparently, in the past, if someone had a cool bass idea, he let them play it), and he DOES have a pretty driving sound. Finally, Paul and Tommy's [Thayer] guitars sound HUGE — with some fab riffs and '70s-style solos."

Songtitles set to appear on the new KISS CD include "Russian Roulette", "Modern Day Delilah" and "Stand".

Thayer wrote and sang his first song on the album, while Singer also got his first opportunity to sing a lead vocal on an original song.

Simmons recently told The Canadian Press that there were no outside writers working on the Paul Stanley-produced disc. He also described the album's sound as "no strings, no keyboards, no synths, no tambourines, no nothing — just meat and potatoes."

Simmons confirmed during a recent radio appearance that a deal is in the works with Wal-Mart that will result in an "entire section" of the giant retailer's stores across the country (apparently dubbed "Kiss Korner") being dedicated to KISS.

There has been no official announcement of a KISS deal with Wal-Mart for the band's next CD, although artists such as THE EAGLES and AC/DC have both issued recent albums exclusively through the giant retailer. In addition, AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry may have inadvertently let it slip that the band's next studio album will come out exclusively through Wal-Mart.







They have done everything but make a KISS kitchen sink, im sure thats coming soon...

I just hope the Gene Simmons one doesn't lick back.

That's...disturbing.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think I just found my new avatar. In fact I'm sure of it.

maybe the new album will come with a free bag of m&m's

What exactly is a Kiss M&M anyway?

come into my office and i'll show ya

Maybe that means that WalMart will start carrying their back catalogue instead of just insipid collections. I could stand to upgrade a few early recordings to CD.

You can count on that.

KISS probably doesn't even care if it actually sells... they just take the licensing $$ from the random companies who go "Hey, we want to make KISS (random product), here's your fee"... then actually selling the stuff is the licensor's problem....

A lot of this stuff eventually ends up in the bargain bin at Spencer Gifts after a few months.

I bet Sebastian Bach will be a first day buyer.
