| Update on the new album:
KISS have finished recording 5 songs for the new album. Gene describes the album as a mix between Destroyer and Revenge. He also mentioned "Wall of Sound" and "Hell or Hallelujah" as two possible song titles for the new album.

| Two of the founding members of the legendary KISS, are collaborating with rock journalist Ken Sharp on "Nothin' To Lose," an oral history of the band's early years, from its founding in 1973 to the 1975 release of its breakout concert album "Alive!."
The book will include interviews with bandmates Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, other rock stars of the era, and the behind-the-scenes players. The book will feature never-before-published photographs. IT Books, an imprint of Harper Collins is scheduled to publish the book in Summer 2012. Drummer Peter Criss has his own memoir due in 2012.
IT Books Editor Denise Oswald exlusively talked to The Hollywood Reporter's Andy Lewis about the project. "KISS is one of the most beloved and influential hard rock bands of the last forty years. What is particularly fascinating about this project is about how the band got off the ground, how they came up with the concept of who they were that so defined them and captured the love and imagination of all of their fans." Oswald says the book is about more than just the band. "Its also an amazing depiction of New York in the early seventies--its Manhattan, its Queens, you have members of the Ramones, members of Blue Oyster Cult, touring with and playing with Kiss. You really get this incredible portrait of a time."
Simmons and Stanley founded KISS in 1973 after their previous band Wicked Lester broke up. They found drummer Peter Criss and lead guitarist Ace Frehley through advertisements in East Coast rock magazines. The band's first few albums recorded so-so sales, but KISS gained a reputation as a sensational live act for their makeup and Simmon's theatrics, which included spitting blood and breathing fire. They also cultivated an airy of mystery by not allowing themselves to be photographed out of makeup. Band members have also talked in interviews about the epic backstage partying that went on during its early years. Kiss's big breakthrough came in 1975 with the release of ALIVE!, which featured the its first top-40 hit in the live version of "Rock and Roll All Nite."
Rock memoirs have been a hot category for publishers of late with both Sammy Hagar and Steven Tyler's memoirs reaching the bestseller lists this year. Other recent announcements of upcoming books include memoirs by Pete Townshend, Gregg Allman, and Billy Idol.

| This sounds very interesting. Although it's a story alot of people are familiar with,it will be great to hear Ace and Peter's take on it. I'd certainly get it. | |

| Should be good, I saw it reported yesterday but I thought it said Gene & Paul were the ones telling the story (again!). I wonder if this is going to be an "unauthorized" book then? About the new album -- Singer recently said it won't be out until 2012. I hope he doesn't know what he's talking about. | |

| Can't afford the KISS Koffin? How's about a KISS Urn for your ashes... - Quote :
- Eternal Image, Inc., a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of officially licensed, brand-name memorial products, today announced that the first of its official KISS cremation urns is now available for purchase.
KISS is famous for its explosive live performances and outrageous rock and roll style. In their forty year career, the band has achieved record-breaking tours, album sales in excess of 100 million, a huge "KISS Army" fan base, and the most memorable look in all of rock history.
"We call this particular KISS urn our 'Monument' model," said Donna Shatter, VP of operations for the company. "This urn offers fans a unique expression of their passion for the legendary rock band. It features full-color images of the band members and the KISS flame logo — all displayed against a striking black metallic finish."
The Monument model KISS urn is eight inches tall. The company plans to release three additional urn models later this year.
For more information, go to this location.
I'd love to see a list of merch that Gene actually said "NO" to. If one exists, that is. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.
