CONFUSION ABOUT MEXICAN FESTIVAL WITH KISS
(from Washingtonpost.com)
Mexico stops heavy metal concert, draws fire
MEXICO CITY — A Mexican state’s decision to cancel a two-day heavy metal concert with top bands like Kiss, Twisted Sister and Guns ‘N Roses is drawing fire from fans and organizers, who say they suspect that political motives, corruption or discrimination are behind the move.

The Mexico state government says the March 15-16 “Hell and Heaven Metal Fest” concert planned for a fairground just east of Mexico City did not have adequate safety plans, posing a risk to concert-goers. The web pages of all three of the metal bands still showed the concert on their tour schedules.

Paul answered a lot of fan question on Twitter. What did we leran?
Kissology IV is still in the works. There are no mplans for a new album. A new US/Canadian Tour is coming up. European dates may follow but not certain.
Probably no more unplugged shows this year. And Kiss want to expand their song list for the upcoming tour.

Celebrating four decades of decibels, KISS, Mercury Records and UMe proudly announce reissuing the legendary KISS albums on 180g audiophile vinyl starting on April 1, 2014. To kick off this momentous occasion, ten albums will be back on glorious sounding vinyl for the first time since as far back as 1985. Remastered to high definition 192kHz/24-bit audio for maximum fidelity, these albums have never sounded so amazing and now vinyl collectors will get what they've been demanding. All posters, sleeve art, stickers, etc that appeared in the original LP release where applicable have been faithfully reproduced for the KISS Army.

The releases seem to be pushed back a little bit. "Psycho Circus" is expected to be released on April 22nd now according to Amazon.com. The next batch should be released a few weeks later (Love Gun, Creatures of the night, Asylum & MTV Unplugged).
