KISSology Vol.3 (Yeah!)

Quote :

by Ken Gullic (Sr. Vice President, Fontana Distribution)

Yesterday, thanks to Alex and Roger Coletti (Kissology producers), I was able to drop by the Doc McGhee offices and get a sneak peek at KISSology 3 footage and do a special award presentation (on behalf of Fontana distribution) for KISSology 2.

Gene and Paul were slated to arrive at any given moment, but Alex and Roger had already cued up footage of Volume 3 for the commentary session they were about to do with the band. Bruce Kulick, a long time friend (whom I had recorded with on the Boot Camp “As You Were” release [available on iTunes!]) was already on hand, and it immediately turned into quite the experience as I was able to sneak a peak at one of the easter eggs for Volume 3! Yes, it’s true folks, the often rumored (but never before seen) Carnival of Souls studio footage exists, and the 5 or 6 minute montage that Alex and Roger had put together was stunning. Bruce was seeing this footage for the first time, and you could see (hear) all of the memories come back to him. It was quite the thrill to see footage of Bruce firing up a completely different (but altogether smokin’!) solo for ‘Hate’, and to watch Paul record his 12 string parts for “I Will Be There”; but one of the most amazing moments was to watch Gene coach the children’s choir for “Childhood’s End” in the studio as Paul remains in the control booth and decides to pull the rug out from everyone with an elaborate prank designed to scare the kids (by growling into the control booth mic “DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING!”) There’s also a segment of the band shooting photos for what turned out to be the album cover... not to forget the awe inspiring sounds and sights of Gene and Paul standing at a studio mic together doing elaborate Beatle-esque harmonies that later never made the album. And that’s just 6 minutes of Volume 3, folks!

Expect an even larger package of content than either of the previous volumes, spanning 1992 thru 2001, to be precise. It’s too early to give any other details away, but I’m confident one and all will be immensely satisfied. All involved are targeting a late December KISSmass 2007 release!

So...It's gonna be cool to see some stuff from Carnival Of Soul!

Look forward to it. Unlike many, I like Carnival of Souls.

I assume the MTV acoustic set will be included. It is an important part of Kisstory. Without it the reunion of Ace, Paul, Gene and Peter may never have happened.

I hope they will put Spit and the other acoustic performances. I waiting for the Carnival Of Soul's stuff.

Can't wait. I want to see the reunion show.

I want to see the Carnival Of Soul things! I want to see the reunion tour! I want to see the show with only Tommy,Eric and Gene. (If they put it...)

Awesome! Can't wait.
