You
may have noticed that the new release of The Second Coming does
not include the booklet that came with the US version, however, a special Christmas boxed set is planned for both vhs and DVD. The
boxed set will include a colour booklet and also a music cd and a T-shirt.
As of yet it is unknown what will be on the CD.
Don't forget about the competition (see below).
Clownwhite News
Hot on the heels of issue 5 (out NOW!) comes a Limited Publication from the Clown White
team. To commemorate our first twelve months, we're releasing a 'SPECIAL EDITION PACK'
titled 'THE FIRST YEAR...' (released August 2000). Containing the first 4 issues of Clown
White magazine in a 'Limited Edition' printed folder (see illustration attached), this offer will be
retailed at a special price - four magazines for the price of two. For ordering information

Record CollectorWatch out for the new issue with the 'last Kiss interview'. Despite claiming to be original it's a cut down version of the Metal Edge interview. Still nice to see them on the cover of a mainstream magazine.

KISS FAREWELL TOUR
Latest news is that Peter and Ace's contract with Kiss, which included 70 US-shows for the Farewell tour have been expanded to 125 US-shows. They are negotiating another extension for their contract for more shows in Japan, Australia and Europe at the moment. This is no official news, but comes from a reliable source.
ALIVE IV
Latest news is that Alive IV will not be coming out this year. It is said that the record company
doesn't want this record to come out this way right now. They are waiting for the last US-show at
Madison Square Garden, which should be the "Alive IV" record to come out next year. The last show in
the US will be at Madison Square Garden probably in October, but no date has been confirmed yet.
There is also a slight possibility that KISS will play the very last US-show after the possible
European tour at the Garden sometime early next year. The last show in the US will also most likely
be a pay per view concert for TV. This is also no official news, but comes from a
reliable source. As soon as something is confirmed you can read it in the news on
www.kissnews.net
or www.kissfanshop.com .
KISS-SPECIAL ON GERMAN TV!
On July 29, 2000 at 2.45 am in the morning German nationwide TV-station ZDF will be
broadcasting an one hour KISS-Special. That is the night from Saturday to Sunday. It is part of the Pop
Galerie- series which was broadcasted already on Arte earlier this year. This Special is well worth watching
and includes lots of rare footage from all over the years both with and without make-up. Classic
footage from KISS' 1980 German tour can be seen as well as recent appearances from the Detroit Rock
City movie premier. It took the producers almost one year in research and half a year in the making.
You can view some screenshots here. German ZDF channel is available in most European households
through cable, it can also be received through ASTRA satellite .
PHOTO GALLERY FINALLY ONLINE AT www.kissnews.net
!
It took a long time to get it done, but now over 3.000 photos are now finally available
for viewing in the photo-gallery on the new KISS website www.kissnews.net
! These pictures are from all over the years from 1973-2000! Many rare shots (see Ace shooting a rocket with a gun while
playing onstage or KISS unmasked at arrival in Scandinavia in 1976 and 1980) as well as the
best studio-shots from photo-sessions and of course a lot of live-photos. Check out these
photos here. More features are coming soon such as a Dia-Show from the best photos.

July 2000 Nightmare Child Review
At
last I've got my hands on the full version of KISS Psycho
Circus: The Nightmare Child, and without doubt it was well worth
the wait. The game should be in the shops by this Friday (28th
July), until then have a look at the review...
21st
July 2000 Eric SingerI went along to see Eric Singer , I mean Alice Cooper on Wednesday at Hammersmith.
Eric was in fine form and looked to be enjoying himself. I was surprised when the band went off and left Eric to a drum solo! He performed an excellent solo complete with flaming drum sticks! (Gene & Paul would've been proud of him) As Eric stopped some arsehole at the back shouted "fuck off" followed by "get KISS off". Can't please them all.
Alice put on a brilliant show with an excellent band.
Richie ScarletLast month I was working on Leslie Wests UK tour and Richie Scarlet played bass for him. Richie also happens to be Aces guitarist - as well as Sebastian Bach!
He is one hell of a cool dude and I'm seriously thinking about bring him over from NY early next year to do some dates. I know this is getting further and further away from Kiss but do you think it would generate much interest ?.
Also a bit of trivia for you. Stray were the support band for Leslie West and guess who were the support band on Kiss first UK tour ? Spooky eh ?
If you have any thoughts on seeing Richie please drop KISSin' UK an E-mail and it'll be passed on to Paul.

KISS Club AnthemOn Sunday 16th July, Pop Sushi (Trouble, Sundays 11.00) I happened to turn on the TV and suddenly a clip of the "Crazy Crazy Nights" video was played. It was repeated later so I recorded it. It was this club promoter talking about what the best club anthem was. And it was Crazy Crazy Nights!!!!!!
18th
July 2000 The Second ComingDon't
forget that The Second Coming
is released on July 24th on PAL VHS and region 2 DVD. So
far a good place to get hold of it seems to be Blackstar
who are offering a pre-order discount on the DVD.
Thanks to James Vincent & John Bethel for the Blackstar
info.

July 2000 IcemanIcemans KISS Page was a UK site run from Karl's home of Jersey, not only have we lost a great person but also a great contribution to the online KISS world.
KISSin' UK would like to pass on our sincere condolences to Karl's family in their time of need. If anyone want to pass on any messages to his family you can do so from the site at http://iceman.simplenet.com/

6th
July 2000 Nightmare ChildA few people have asked where to buy it from, being that it's a major
release and that the reviews so far have been very good expect to find it
on the shelves of any major chain that sells PC games (Dixons, Virgin,
Electronic Boutique, PC World etc). It'll probably go for about 30 quid,
but show around 'cause some shops do offers on the first couple of weeks
of release.

July 2000 Clownwhite News
[From:
Deno]Issue 5 of CLOWN WHITE magazine will be published July 20th, including 'EXCLUSIVE' photos and story from our stay in Canada during June. There'll also be all your regulars - news, reviews and feedback - plus a superb feature looking at the involvement of 'Public Relations' in Kiss's success story.
Aussie PetitionHi there My name is Greg Davies. I am the webmaster of "The Revenge Within"
(home of the KISS Fan Sludge Sessions).
I have put together an online petition for an Australian KISS Tour with fellow Aussie KISS Fan, Nikzilla.
We feel that we Aussie fans deserve a chance to see them one last time as well... many of us are tired of the "backflipping" responses and news we keep getting on an Aussie tour. One day we are getting them, the next we aren't - and all word is unconfirmed rumour....
I look forward to your positive reply. Thanks again. Greg

July 2000 Nightmare Child review on ITV
Just thought you'd like to know that Nightmare Child has been featured on Bits, a channel 4 show. It was screened on Fri 30th June and will be repeated at 02.40 Sun 2nd July.
It was only a quick review, and it was pitched against another game
called 'Heavy Metal Fakk2'.
2 of the presenters Aleks and Emily, donned Paul Stanley make-up for the
reviews- the full transcript can be found at www.4later.com/bits/bitslater12god.htm
It were not bad, infact, NC came out on top by virtue of the fact that it
will feature death matches, whereas HM, is 1 player. Also the soundtrack
during both reviews is Psycho Circus.
TravisJust thought I'd tell you that while at Glastonbury festival last weekend, I noticed and had verified by the 40 foot screens on either side of the stage, that the guitarist of Scottish band Travis was wearing a rather fetching kiss t-shirt. The shirt was white and had embellished on it a nice black and white design of the 4 kiss faces in all their glory!
just thought it was cool, so id tell you know too!
Gene on cover of Hard Rock magazineThe new German ROCK HARD magazine (July 2000) has a pic. from Gene Simmons on the cover + a 6 page article. It's the same article like the one in the latest Metal Edge but with different photos!
