Music From The Elder

I'm sure Gene's in-box is filled daily with requests and ideas folks have using something KISS related. But if Gene can't turn it around and make it sound like it's HIS idea, he ain't buying it.

This Elder movie concept seems like it's already fleshed out and ready to go. If Gene can't somehow be attached to it (production-wise) and considdering the band's overall history of distancing themselves from the album in general, I have a feeling it will get the kibosh.

You'd have a better chance and re-imagining "KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park".

You don't want to know what depths he'll sink to for some Scooby Snacks.

There are a lot of documentary dvd's on bands out there, they just can't use the band's music.

Gene likes $.

When I played in a KISS tribute band we had to pay a license fee for the use of the make-up to KISS ltd.

I once seen a tribute band called WET KISS that did "Rip and Destroy" in the middle of Hotter than Hell.

Looks like the person that said he was going to make a movie out of "The Elder" made a trailer for it:

low budget with poor writing can make any good idea go south

It most like be a horrible flick..... but if they do it right, it could turn into a classic piece of camp cinema.

Reviving an old thread...

I have been seeing this one sitting on the shelves at my local record store for years. Never bothered checking it out before.

I ended up buying it yesterday and gave it a first spin in the car. It's very very good actually.

Another good blind purchase .

Yeah, underrated for sure, but only because most people say the whole thing sucks. For me, I really dig five or six songs; the rest are garbage.

"Music From 'The Elder'" was released 40 years ago today.

The KISS album that Gene and Paul hate but I on the other hand think is rather enjoyable. Bought as a new release on vinyl and still have it to this day. In fact, it was one of the first cds I ever bought too.

I read an interview with Gene and Paul about the 40th anniversary and they both still hate it, Paul seems to really hate it whereas Gene thinks it's more of a "misguided effort".
