16th October 2000 Gene denies Euro tour... |
[From:
KISS Kollector via Fraser Munro] "Rumors have in been making the rounds all year, but over the last few months and weeks it's become really silly or out of hand as far as rumors go (including gossip on tours of Europe, Japan and Australia, replacements for Peter and/or Ace, etc.). Weird enough there's still fans who think there will be a European tour, but it didn't look and still doesn't look like that at all. Last Saturday (Oct. 14) the KISS Kollector Fanclub received a message from Gene Simmons that there are no plans for Europe, and that KISS might be going over to Japan and Australia." |
KISS in Vegas |
Apparently Paul Stanley
has said in a recent radio interview that KISS have struck a
deal with Mandalay Bay (huge casino on the Vegas strip where
KISS played 2 farewell gigs) to produce some kind of KISS themed
section within the casino. |
Possible UK dates for Richie Scarlet |
Richie Scarlet is presently in Millbrook Studios New York working
on his new album. Ace has promised to 'guest' on at least one track
as has Sebastian Bach. One track that has already been completed features
Neal Smith and Dennis Dunaway from Alice Cooper. Leslie West is also
scheduled to appear and the album is being co-produced by Donnie Vie
from Enuff Znuff. The album is set for release in the New Year and will be released in
the U.K. and discussions are already taking place with several labels
over here.
Richie is expected back in the U.K. in May with Leslie West and may
also take the opportunity to do a couple of solo dates with his own
band. |
14th October 2000 What DVD |
There is a review of The
Second Coming DVD in the latest What DVD magazine. Sadly it's by
a typical narrow-minded UK journo, so as expected it gets a
slagging (2/5). He seems more interested in moaning about the
band than he does reviewing the disc. |
14th October 2000 KISS mannequins at the Barbican |
[From:
Si Cosson] I've just got in from work and was enjoying a swift beer in the kitchen, flicked the TV on and saw our local lunch time news program "London Today". Anyway, one of the reports on today's program was about a Fashion Show totally devoted to music through the ages and all of the costumes in the show are the real ones worn by the respective acts. The report started with a guy who is a Mark Bolan tribute artist and then the camera whips round and Fuck me! Four of the mannequins from the MTV Unplugged Kiss Convention in full battle dress just standing there on the walk way. It was just a quick shot, but thinking about it in retrospect, there could actually be five figures there because the line up I saw was Gene, Paul, Ace and Eric (we're not worthy) Carr, I wouldn't have thought that they would leave Pete out in the cold! Anyhow, if your interested, its showing at the Barbican Centre and is open till the end of the year. Si. |
10th October 2000 Casino Ace |
Terri
Bey, author of Ace's Biography
at KISSin' UK was lucky enough to meet up with the Space Ace in
the Luxor Casino in August, here's her story:- "I was staying at the Luxor Hotel and I heard Ace was staying an extra day in Vegas and I thought I would give it a shot. Well, I go down to the casino floor and I see this six foot one , long haired man with a shoulder bag and I just knew it was ACE FREHLEY!!!!! I was stoked and I came from behind and tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around and I reminded him of who I was ( We met at the guitar show and he sees me at the shows) and and winks at me when I am up close.). Ace even called off his personal bodyguard!!! How cool is that? I mentioned a mutual friend and we chatted. Here I was, hanging with ACE FREHLEY!!! Ace was cool. I asked for a picture with him and we embraced ( Ladies, I got to KISS HIM ) and that was it. I am going to remember this forever." You can visit Terri's own site here. |

KISS PPV |
Barely a few hours have
passed and this is out on bootleg already (and if you look hard
enough you'll find the full un-edited version). Shane Penny
has this to say about it:-
I never ordered it, but at the last minute this afternoon I was invited
out to watch the show at a local KISS fan's home about 10 minutes drive
from where I live. I was certainly pleased. Anyhow, before the show they
show a 30 minute KISS history, which was an extremely shortened Second
Coming jammed into 30 minutes. Then the show came. Some comments. In general, I really liked it. Great performance, and great footage. It's
funny that the only negative things I have to say are things that were
left out of the show. Everything that was included rocked! Plus, it was
free so that was an extra bonus. |
7th October 2000 New Spencers |
A brand new Spencer
Gifts has just opened up in Leicester (in The Shires
shopping centre). No where near as good as it's sister stores in
the US (famous for stocking tonnes of KISS stuff), but not too bad. Mind you if you spot any KISS
stuff in it then you're a better man than me, although it looks
like they can order you stuff in. |
6th October 2000 STOCKBROKER KISS-ES OFF ROCKER |
[From:
PageSix.com] GENE Simmons - the bass player for Kiss, who has the longest tongue in rock ‘n' roll history - seems to be underendowed in his sense of humor. When Kiss played the Monhegan Sun in Connecticut on Tuesday night, Simmons lost his temper at a fan in the front row and refused to go on with the concert until the man, Sal Governale, left. Governale is better known as "Sal the Stockbroker," a frequent guest on the Howard Stern radio show who delights in calling Stern's producer, Gary Dell'Abate, a "horse-toothed jackass." Sal confesses that when Simmons stuck out his anaconda-like tongue, he stuck out his tongue as well, while putting his thumbs in his ears and wiggling his fingers. "I did it to make Gene laugh," said Governale, who works at Millenium Securities. But Simmons wasn't amused. "Gene pointed at me and said, ‘You're out of here.'" Sal, confronted by security men and a burly roadie, soon left the arena voluntarily. "I didn't want a riot, which was the next step," said Governale. "It was ugly." But Kiss' manager, Doc McGhee, denies Sal was threatened. "They went over and asked him to cut it out, and he said, ‘I feel uncomfortable,' and asked to be escorted out," said McGhee. "He did a good job of annoying Gene. He's got to learn how to act in public." |
5th October 2000 All Back To Mine |
Last Night on Channel

was always the first song he'd listen to when he got back to New
York from being in the marines. |
