Will Kiss do another studio album?

- what do ya think?

i'd say it's very unlikely. they've spoken of this many times.

I doubt it. Gene's got his TV show and his various business mojos goin' on, Paul is deep into his painting, and overall they seem content to call up the two ringers (Tommy and Eric) slap on the greasepaint, and do the oldies on the casino circuit every so often.

KISS isn't about being creative anymore, its about rehashing the old days for money's sake. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do a Vegas show.

I agree with Freddy's points. The only way I could see it happening is if, and it's a big IF, either Gene or Paul start writing songs for their next "solo" albums and then decide to record them as KISS instead of releasing solo material. And even then, it would only be after they've exhaused every single possible combination of "Greatest Hits" packages.

Hey, I just had an idea! Gene, why don't you record a new song or 2 and tack them onto yet another compilation album and bend the fans over again. I'm sure he's got some left-over song ideas that they could throw together with some studio musicians and knock it out in an afternoon. Couldn't be any worse than some of the drivel they put on Psycho Circus.

If there's enough money in it for them, anything's possible. But, I really think their done this time. I'm content enough with what they've done, and Ace making a new album. What I'm really waiting for is a new VV album damnit.

It's unfortunate, because Psycho Circus was a pretty damn good album.

Well geez, we were pretty wrong about this one weren't we? Haha.

Reminds me of the time when Scream Magazine reviewd a Nirvana record, before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" took off. The reviewr stated that this was some great music, and that it was too bad that not many people would ever listen to it!

And the opposite for Metal Church... they were a big name in the mid-80's then ended up selling 900 copies in america.

Okay, well NOW will they do another album?

6 more "Best Of" things
Maybe a B-sides collection
The death of an original member
"Gene Simmons Family Jewels" getting canned

And THEN they'll do a new album.
