KISS Live In Las Vegas DVD
[From:
Joop van Pelt]The new DVD KISS Live In Las Vegas will be released in Holland and a few other European countries through the same label that put out The Second Coming overhere. Check out the very cool cover as it appeared in their brandnew catalog, in which they state: "October 29, 1999 the entire KISS Army was ready for a live webcast from Las Vegas of their favorite group& and then the internet crashed. Now for all those fans here's that webcast on DVD& guaranteed crashproof!" An exact release date seems unknown at the moment, however.

KISS & Winter Olympics
Here
are a few pictures for those that missed KISS playing Rock And
Roll All Nite at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
Their performance was pretty damn good, they played on a
moving/spinning stage complete with a couple of figure skaters
dancing around them, as expected Eric Singer was on the drums.
Ace's Catherine wheel misfired and went limp but apart from that
it was great..... unless you happened to have the privilege of
Barry Davies talking through half of it (good old BBC).Click here to see the pictures!
KISS songs used during hockey final2 KISS songs were used at the Olympic Ice Hockey Final:-
I Love It Loud was used regularly similarly as to how Queens We Will Rock You is used !! Also when Canada scored the 4th goal which basically sealed the win, Rock And Roll All Nite was played while the Canadians celebrated !

Mojo
As
mentioned yesterday the latest Mojo (March 2002) features Gene
Simmons on the cover alongside a fair few other artists, I now
have a couple of pictures from the mag. The article is called
'100 Hipsters and legends, icons and visionaries, movers and
shakers' and asks 100 of Mojo's favourite artists to name their
heroes and the effect they've had on their life. Gene lists
Superman as his hero, saying that it was him that made Gene
realise that scaling heights was possible even if you are
different to everyone else.
Gene
is features alongside the likes of Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett,
Alice Cooper, Diana Ross, Pete Townsend, Lemmy, Cher and Mick
Jagger.
There is also a classic quote from Ace (with a small pic) on
page 13, it's about Gene calling him a moron during some promo
for Gene's book:- "Everybody knows I'm a fuck-up. Oh
well, good luck with the book"!!!

NewsbitsThe latest issue of Mojo magazine features an article on 100 rock idols, or most influential, or some such. Anyway, it's got one of those fold-out cover things that makes the cover 3 times it's normal size. Featured on the cover are the said influential musicians (or whatever it's about) cleverly pasted together to make it look like they are all in the same shot looking up towards the camera. The fold-out features our favourite Demon believe it or not. Indeed, this mild surprise borders on sheer delirium when you open up the mag and spot that Gene has a half-page on his favourite Jewish hero, Superman. Haven't read it yet, I was skint. Looks good though. Maurice (Mo-reece!)

Gene's interview with Terry Grosshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/tvbarn2/message/6039
Also, if you go to the link below you will find a link to download an MP3 of the entire interview:- http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~danh/npr/
Here's the closing dialog from the interview:-
TG : I'd like to think the personality you presented on our
show today is a persona that you've affected as a member of
Kiss, but that you're not nearly as obnoxious
when you're at home or with friends
GS : Fair enough, and I'd like to think that the boring lady
who's talking to me now is a lot sexier and more interesting
than the one's who's doing NPR, studious and reserved.

Gene Simmons Tongue
[From:
Allen Tuller, publisher Gene Simmons Tongue]
Hi...it's that Gene Simmons Tongue publisher again! Just want to keep you loyal fans in the loop to what's been going on. We're still moving and grooving, putting together more stories, getting more photos' and simply putting together the pieces of the puzzle. We are shooting for a May 21st on-sale date! It may sound like a long ways away but in actuality we will go to press in only 8 short weeks... Subscribers will actually get the first issue even earlier and the subscription page is all set to go and take your orders.
We plan on starting out with four issues a year but if demand calls for it (and I know it will!!) we may go straight into a 6X frequency and then go monthly in the year ahead. The magazine will be $3.99 but you can get the first 4 issues delivered right to your door for only $6.99! That's a 56% discount...Isn't America great! Just go to http://www.genesimmonstongue.com and sign up! Okay, enough sales pitch, here's what's going on.
Gene, Steve, yours truly and the whole GS Tongue team have been working our asses off talking to celebrities, recording artists and gorgeous girls (I love this job!), setting up stories for our first few issues. The Demon himself has interviewed Fred Durst and Hugh Hefner and has been our man on the scene at many tough assignments such as the Adult Video Awards and The Miss Nude USA contest. I've even given Gene a camera so we can get photographic evidence of what I'll call "Gene's World
I put up a sample cover design on the web site with some cover stories but keep in mind the Premiere Issue will feature a well known celebrity and that this cover was just made up for display and promotional materials.......So please don't bombard me with E-mails saying "Who is that?"
........
I am open to any story suggestions that you guys might have and I'm crazy enough to ask you to send me any that you might have...the magazine is for you and I want to hear what you want to read about! I appreciate your input but don't get mad at me if I cannot respond to all my E-mails...I promise to look at all the ideas and discuss them with Gene and the GSTongue Magazine team...
I'll keep ya posted...Thanks!
Allen

Lane Bryant show tonight @ midnight
The
Lane Bryant show will be broadcast over the web live tonight
starting at midnight (GMT). According to KISS Online they played
5 songs (SHOUT IT OUT LOUD, LICK IT UP, GOD OF THUNDER, LOVE GUN,
ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT) while the models, including Anna Nicole
Smith (see picture, more over at Yahoo)
strutted their stuff down the runway.
Lane Bryant show mention in local paperJust thought I would write to let you know that on reading my local evening paper I came across a pic of none other than KISS. The pic was taken at the Lane Bryant Fashion show in New York. It shows all four members (including Ace), with Eric Singer in Peter's make-up. The pic was taken at the conclusion of the show and they appear with Anna Nicole Smith and some other female, whom I didn't recognise..............Pic appeared in the Evening Telegraph which is distributed throughout the Tayside area. This is the second or third time Ace has appeared in this paper as he was in for drink driving charges years ago when KISS were on tour in the UK.
