(from melodicrock.com)
Press Release: "We are proud to announce the release today of Ted Poley Greatest Hits Volume 2!
This is a very limited pressing of only 2000 for the entire planet. This is an awesome follow up to Vol 1!
Volume 2 features re-masters of some of Ted's favorite songs that didn't make it onto Vol 1 plus 4 new tracks not available on any of ted's cd's until now which includes the single Breathe ("hit" video now playing on YouTube) as well as a rare track by Eric Carr of Kiss with Ted on lead vocals taken from a lost, then found demo cassette tape, vocals added later, this exclusiveversion is remastered!
This collection of 17 classic "tp" songs make this a must have for collectors of vol. 1, which is almost completely sold out.
This CD is not available anywhere else; including iTunes or other digital sites, no retailers will carry this CD. The only place you can get it other than at one of ted's solo live shows is on eBay, seller id tedpoley1 or just search Ted Poley Greatest Hits Vol 2 cd.
The only accepted method of payment is PayPal. No exceptions.
Since you will be buying this directly from ted, he will be happy to autograph it for you on request and he will be also donating a small portion of any profits from this cd to local animal shelters so thank you in advance for your order!!!!!
Order now and don't miss out-this will sell out faster than Vol 1! This is not a pre-order! These are in stock but we will start to ship them out on Tuesday as they will take time to autograph and package.
Please remember to add a note with your PayPal payment letting Ted know the name for the autograph on the CD. There is a place to "add a note to seller" when you go to pay. If no note is received with a name, it will be kept sealed."(

DECIBEL GEEK PODCAST EPISODE 120: INTERVIEW WITH GARY CORBETT (PART 2)
(from Chris Czynszak/Decibel Geek)
The Decibel Geek podcast returns this week with the second half of an in-depth discussion with former KISS keyboardist Gary Corbett; Episode 120 - Gary Corbett Part 2

In this long-form discussion, Corbett shares insider details of inner-band turmoil in the late 1980's and early 1990's including tension between founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.

Corbett also addresses rumors that have swirled for 20+ years about Eric Carr's status in the band during his final years and gives his take on what was going on at the end of Eric's life.

Another subject covered in this hour-plus conversation is Corbett's objection to certain stories portrayed in The Eric Carr Story; a book by Greg Prato in which Corbett is quoted.

Other topics discussed include half of KISS donning makeup for the 'Rise to It' video, the band's club tour to promote Revenge, and Corbett's ongoing friendship with current KISS drummer Eric Singer and an icy reception from Paul Stanley to Corbett backstage at a recent KISS show in Nashville, TN.

KISS SIGNATURE SERIES AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE
(from Acefrehleysbutler/Kiss Forum)
I was walking past the newly opened Hard Rock Cafe in Glasgow (Scotland) today and saw the window had been transformed into a mega display for the new Kiss Signature Series t-shirt ! (See pic here) I got so excited, ran in , and bought the T-Shirt and limited edition HRC pin, and it got me thinking, any fans out there who would be willing to trade pins, from your city for mine ?
Oh and one of the staff said they were working with Kiss on a tie-in with the upcoming UK Arena tour.
Like I said I was so excited, I nearly passed out on the spot !!!!!

PAUL STANLEY ON TWITTER: REUNION FOR HALL OF FAME UNLIKELY
Paul recently made some Tweets recently saying that it is unlikely, that the original 4 are going to be playing together at the Rock Hall induction. There is "no way" that Paul will be going on stage with Ace and Peter in make-up together, and no chance even for a couple of shows together afterwards...
He also mentions that Kiss might play the UK this year again and that he will be back in Italy - and that Kiss will play Detroit again in the summer.
He also said if Eric Carr was still alive, the Reunion tour still would have happened.
Paul will also be doing book signings for his new autobiography.
