New KISS ‘Elder’ Period Footage Surfaces

Previously unreleased “outtake” footage from KISS’s ill-fated ‘Music From The Elder’ period has surfaced on YouTube. This is the first time in nearly 13 years that any new ‘Elder’ era master tapes have been discovered.  The clip, which is dated January 5, 1982, features band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley (along with their then manger Bill Aucoin) talking about King Kong and former KISS road manager Sean Delaney as they prepare to tape a segment for a short-lived CBS-TV series. 

Additionally, some professionally shot footage from KISS’s 1980 Unmasked stadium tour of Australia also appeared online today.

Both clips are being released to promote a continuing series of KISS auctions from eBay seller EliteWorks. Among this week’s 53 items: promotional only releases such as the sampler LP for Rock And Roll Over and Gimmie KISS; a 1990 greatest hits compilation. 1975 autographs from Ace and Peter, loads of promo CDs and 8 Tracks, a stage used Gene Simmons blood cup, and the mega-rare blue label 7” single for “C’mon And Love Me” are also up for grabs.
