The offical Kiss thread

AC/DC even have a special wine now being marketed with their name, which I find in some what bad taste considering how Bon Scott died, but seems to be a new trend among veteran bands, have a wine named after your band.

You think that's tasteless, I heard that was actually a brand of wine called 9/11, supposedly made to "honor" those who died on that fateful day, when it was obvious the makers were only hoping to sucker people into buying it.

More Wine:

Sammy Hagar also has his own line of Tequilla.

As for the Bon Scott thing, I thought it wa a little weird to include a bottle opener with the Bon Fire box set for the same reason Manny stated. I still carry mine on my keychain. Never used it once to open a soda bottle though.

He sold most of it for 70 million...... And it is a good Tequila! I prefer Cabo Wabo over Patron.

Sammy claims since there are no preservatives, then there is no hangover...Any truth to that?

Too bad it's out of Australia, as I just don't care for most Australian wines. I don't know if it's the conditions the grapes are grown in, how long before they are picked, but give me a European red wine from France or Italy or something from Argentina (if we're talking imports). The bottle looks really cool though...

Never drank enough of it in one sitting to get totally sh!tfaced. Cazadores won't give you a hang over - it's good stuff

Hell yes it would!!!!!

from Sleazeroxx:

On Saturday KISS bassist Gene Simmons married his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed, and today you can buy merchandise from the event.


Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed’s wedding has turned into another money making business for the 62 year-old Kiss rocker. According to the website Sleazeroxx, Gene wasted no time in cashing in on the wedding. Believe it or not, even something as sacred as his wedding has Gene in the money making mode as he turns his nuptials into a business venture. It looks like he succeeded because the wedding memorabilia is now up for sale online at PersonaliationMall.com.


This exclusive Simmons-Tweed merchandise will let the fans have a little piece of rock history. If you didn’t get an invitation to the Simmons – Tweed wedding, no problem, you can purchase one.

According to a recent interview with Gene, the new album, "Monster", has been delayed until Spring next year.

Geez, Shannon's already got him whipped. "Yes dear, I don't need to go into the studio today. The album can wait. We can shop for china patterns instead".

In the meantime another KISS DVD set Volume 4 is due I believe next month, but I am not sure, saw a small blurb in Classic Rock Magazine.

Paul had vocal cord surgery and he needed it, I could tell his voice was going on the last tour:

Good for him. His voice sounded very strained when I saw him too.

Thank god. I wonder if Paul's vocals will be re-recorded for the new album? His voice will sound clearer in a couple of weeks/months than it has done the last few years.

I am sure - he;s the producer and wants himself to sound as good as possible

Sweet! I see from Blabbermouth that a deluxe edition of Destroyer is going to be released in 2012. Bob Ezrin is going to remix it and outtakes will be included as well. Also the original artwork will be featured too.

KI$$ plans to re-release Destroyer with a new mix by Bob Ezrin:

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons revealed during an interview with the U.K. digital radio station Planet Rock that producer Bob Ezrin is remixing KISS' classic fourth album, "Destroyer", for re-release in 2012. The deluxe edition of the LP will feature outtakes and the original cover art.

Ken Kelly's original version of the album cover for "Destroyer" was rejected by the record company because they felt the scene was too violent-looking. Also, the original version had the members of KISS wearing the "Alive" costumes.
