KISS BASSIST: COMMENTS NOT ANTI-MUSLIM
(from CNN.com via Jerome/ www.comboling.com)
TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, who sparked outrage in Australia after making comments seen as anti-Muslim, said he was speaking only of "extremists" and that his remarks were taken out of context.

"I was asked about extremists," he said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press.

"And that's what I was talking about -- only extremists."

Rock band Kiss began a five-concert tour of Japan this week.

Simmons sparked outrage when Kiss toured Australia earlier this month with comments seen as attacking Islam.

"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's willing to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," Simmons said during an interview on Melbourne's 3AW radio.

"They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."

Angry Muslims flooded the radio station with calls.

KISS IN THE PRESS
Several current magazines feature articles on Gene Simmons, such as Metal Hammer, Rock Hard and EMP from Germany, Flash and Rock Hard from Italy. Kiss are also on the cover of "Strange Ways" magazine in Japan. Gene Simmons is on the cover of "Metal Shock" in Italy.

May 24, 2004
NO EUROPEAN TOUR
It seems, that Kiss' plans for a European Tour have failed. Both, promoters and the booking agency have confirmed, that there were plans for booking a Tour in early September, but have been cancelled. Supposedly there was also talk about a gig with the Berlin Symphony Orchester in Berlin.

Promoters were simply not willing to pay what the band was asking for. Other bands constantly tour Europe with a new show supporting a new album, and never want to miss the worlds biggest market of almost 1 Billion possible concert goers. The promoters claimed, with the bands shrunken popularity they did not want to take the risk, since Kiss have been absent from the media and music scene for too long.

In fact, Kiss have also not played in South America and Canada in many years. With a handful of Australian and Japansese dates and just 38 US dates to follow, the current Tour might be one of the shortest in their 30-year history. On the other hand, concerning the extremely high ticket prices in Australia, their recent tour Downunder must have been a financial success, and the following Japanese Tour is sold out as well.

PETER CRISS ON THE "EDDIE TRUNK " SHOW PART II
(from www.eddietrunk.com)
Well the response has been incredible to the EXCLUSIVE Peter Criss interview special this past week! I am getting email from all over the world from people that want to hear it. Please note, you can hear it in it's entirety worldwide on our official online home KNAC.com this week. All places and ways to hear my show are in the "Syndication" section! I must thank Peter and his wife Gigi, as well as his webmaster Jeff for helping put this exclusive visit together. I appreciate greatly the fact that Peter thought enough of me and my show to tell his story to exclusively! Way to much was covered to even attempt to talk about here. Peter is obviously very hurt by the way he feels he was treated by Gene & Paul and what Kiss has become, and is wearing his heart on his sleeve. Agree or disagree, at least he pulls no punches. We also took tons of calls and really did essentially a talk show for almost 3 hours. Many have said they thought it was one of the best Kiss interviews they have ever heard!! After the show replays on KNAC.com and affiliate stations, audio will be posted on this site (in a couple weeks). Also photos of Peter in the studio are coming. [read the rest]

PETER CRISS ON THE "EDDIE TRUNK " SHOW
(from www.blabbermouth.net)
Original KISS drummer Peter Criss made an appearance on the "Friday Night Rocks" show on New York's Q104.3 Friday night (May 21) to discuss his departure from the group that he co-founded more than 30 years ago. The following are some excerpts from that interview (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):

On why he isn't playing with KISS anymore:

"[We] finished the tour [with AEROSMITH] last December. [We went] home. The holidays came. We actually finished the last show on my birthday, December 20th, which was really a gas — it was a great way to finish the tour. Especially with the great AEROSMITH — I was really honored to be on a stage with such Hall of Famers. Man, talk about greatness — it was really cool.

"The tour ended, to get back to it, and I got home. Time went on, time went on… My attorney tried to reach them, no one got back to him.

"The word I'm hearing on the street [is that] they were trying to get in touch with me. Well, they have my phone number. It seemed like the phone never rang. I was kind of hoping it would. It didn't ring.

KISS, THE SUPERDOME
(from www.smh.com.au)
Where glam rock collided with comic book superheros and then uncanvassed possibilities in merchandising: there was Kiss. And here they are, back again, for the zillionth farewell/reunion tour.

The lights went down. The crowd roared. Columns of fire erupted in front of the towering stacks of amps. Kiss! Looking just like you thought they would!

There's frontman Paul Stanley, shirtless with the black star over one eye, bassist Gene Simmons in his bondage-meets-alien lizard get-up, that long tongue already out and waggling around. And there's those other guys, made up to look like the original drummer and lead guitarist.

The greasepaint, the platforms, the pyrotechnics. It's all there. In fact, the Kiss live experience is so prefabricated, it feels as if you've already had it. It certainly feels like they've done it a million times - although it's about 3500, actually.

Stanley flew across the mosh to sing I Was Made For Lovin' You on a small catwalk in the middle of the floor. Simmons, looking decrepit and jowly beneath his greasepaint, gurgled up fake blood before launching into the air to play Unholy. Coordinated moves, smoking guitar solos.

But unless you were a member of the Kiss Army, maybe you wouldn't have expected quintessential rock frontman Paul Stanley (born Stanley Eisen, in Queens, New York) to have the thick, gruff accent of Mel Brooks and the razzle-dazzle mince of Peter Allen. I didn't.

Kiss are so over the top they're beyond parody. Spinal Tap have nothing on these guys. But it was a little disconcerting to see just how paint-by-numbers the show is: at one point Stanley introduced a song: this is called I! Love! It! Loud!!! - the only problem being they'd already played that song and the band were launching into War Machine. As if it wasn't already clear that the music was virtually irrelevant.

In a way it's surprising that these consummate merchandisers haven't gone the whole hog and franchised out the entire operation: they could have licensed Kiss shows running in all corners of the globe while they sit at home and collect fat royalty cheques.

But presumably their last vestiges of authenticity - the core of their appeal to fans - lies in the enduring partnership between Simmons and Stanley, who've kept the dream alive for more than three decades now.

Ten members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra joined Kiss for the last half-dozen songs (sort of like marrying black leather with black tie, Stanley said).

The hits came thicker as the set built towards its climax, with Shout it Out Loud and Detroit Rock City, the mini-orchestra just audible. The pyrotechnics shed flaming light, the drum riser was lifted to the heavens and Kiss left the stage.

For a minute. (We hadn't yet heard God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You II or Rock'n'Roll All Nite.) So soon they were back, confetti billowing above the crowd while the band were hoisted metres above the stage for the finale.

In the lights the streaming confetti looked so beautiful that for a minute it felt like something real had actually happened. Just for a minute.

It was big, dumb, shallow and fun - which, come to think of it, should be a Kiss lyric. It rhymes.

KISS ENCORE WITH THE MSO
(from Undercover)
Kiss were back together with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra last night in Melbourne for an encore performance of their 2003 Kiss Symphony. The world renowned MSO performed with Kiss at Telstra Dome in 2003 and the show was released as the Kiss Symphony live CD and DVD.

Paul Stanley praised the talents of the MSO tells fans they should listen to "good music no matter who is playing it. That is what tonight is all about" he said.

Stanley thanked conductor Kevin Levinson telling the crowd that when they decided to do the first symphony show and searched for an orchestra most were too snobby to work with Kiss. He said there are snobby rock bands as well and that the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is the best in the world and Kiss were honoured to work with them.

Instead of the full 60 piece orchestra, a smaller chamber orchestra, all made up in Kiss makeup, were welcomed on stage to the finale of the main show. They performed 'Shout It Out Loud', 'Love Gun', 'I Was Made For Loving You' and 'Detroit Rock City' with Kiss and came back in the encore for 'Rock and Roll All Nite'.

Kiss opened the show with 'Creatures of the Night' and are performing some songs like 'Pledge Allegiance To Rock and Roll" for the very first time on this tour.

Kiss Live at Rod Laver Arena, Monday, May 13, 2003 performed:

Creatures of the Night (from Creatures of the Night, 1982)
Deuce (from Kiss, 1974)
Pledge Allegiance to Rock 'n' Roll (from Psycho Circus, 1998)

ROCK ICONS OFFENDS MELBOURNE'S MUSLIMS
(from The Age)
By Alex Wilson
May 14, 2004 - 2:00PM

KISS bass player Gene Simmons has caused an uproar among Australia's Muslim community by launching an attack on Islamic culture while in Melbourne.

The lizard-tongued rock god who is touring Australia with the world's most enduring glam rock band launched an attack on Muslim extremists during an interview on Melbourne's 3AW radio.

"Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday.

The Israeli-born US musician went on to say Islam was a "vile culture" that treated women worse than dogs.

Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said.

"Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff - none of the women have that advantage."

He went on to say the west was under threat.

"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's going to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," he said. [read the rest]

AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM
(from The Australian)
By Polly Coufos
May 10, 2004

LIKE an AC/DC, but without as many classics in its arsenal, Kiss roll on, unchanged in approach if not in personnel. They still come on stage to the thundering declaration: "You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world, Kiss."

It's no more true now than it was 30 years ago, but on the other hand the spectacle that is Kiss live now is no more ridiculous than it was then.

Like it or not, Kiss has stood the test of time. Six of the 19 songs played in the 90-minute set referred to the power of loud rock 'n' roll, and even withstanding the pomposity of titles such as I Pledge Allegiance (To the State of Rock 'n' Roll) and God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You II there remains a simple belief in this message that rings true for band and audience alike.

If rock's greatest fear is not growing old but being seen as a shadow of one's former self, Kiss are better placed than most to carry on as long as they can stand on their stacked heels. How could something become a caricature when it was cartoonish to begin with?

Paul Stanley commanded the stage, although slightly hoarse. At 52, he is impressively fit, and regularly shook his still-tight buns with an energy that should have scared many performers half his age.

Towards the end of the set Stanley said "we aren't perfect, but we try" as a statement of fact. They never were and never will be the most fashionable band in rock but among the explosions, fire bombs, flying foxes and soaring drums risers there is an honest attempt to deliver value for money.

Gene Simmons, Stanley's Kiss partner all of these years, was content to look menacing while playing second banana – a second banana who spits blood and breathes fire.

The group is rounded out by drummer Eric Singer and lead guitarist Tommy Thayer, who have rejuvenated the band, suggesting they are undergoing something of a second wind.

Stanley and Simmons remain a formidable team. Cranking out favourites to the faithful like Christine Sixteen, Rock And Roll All Nite, I Was Made For Loving You and Detroit Rock City, they gave exactly what was expected of them. It is no wonder they can still draw a crowd three decades on.

Kiss. Western Australian Cricket Association ground, Perth, May 8. Touring nationally. Information: (07) 5526 2922.

PAUL STANLEY WORKING ON SOLO LP
(from www.bravowords.com)
KISS vocalist/rhythm guitarist PAUL STANLEY has been working on tracks for his upcoming solo album at Bob Kulick’s Los Angeles recording studio.

Paul is working with current KISS drummer Eric Singer and former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick (GRAND FUNK RAILROAD) on the material, essentially making the forthcoming recording a KISS Revenge era album.

In fact, since KISS vocalist/bassist GENE SIMMONS didn't play a single bass note on Revenge or Carnival Of Souls (they were all handled by Bruce), this really is a KISS Revenge era lineup album that Paul is making.
