Dark Star Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well it's true, Kiss WILL be putting out a new album this Fall.. Not sure how I feel about it just yet... KISS To Complete New Album In July - Mar. 30, 2009 KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has told the Brazilian web site Comércio do Jahu that the band's new album will be completed in July for a September release. According to Simmons, the group has already finished recording the vocals and guitar for four tracks, with the finished product expected to include between 12 and 15 songs. Simmons describes the album's direction as the "classic KISS sound," not a million miles removed from the "Rock and Roll Over" LP but with a more modern production. The group's first album since 1998's "Psycho Circus" is being produced by KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and will contain "no rap or country," Simmons said. According to Amazon.com, Universal will release a new KISS live album called "Authorized Bootleg - Nashville Municipal Auditorium 1998" on May 26. No further details are currently available.

Fat Freddy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 One part of me sez "Screw 'em, they've got enough of my $$," but then my Inner FanBoy is going "WOO HOO! First day buyer!" I hate being so conflicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Saying it's in the vein of ROCK & ROLL OVER makes it more appetizing to me... that was one of the best early KISS records... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate being so conflicted. Yea I'll probably buy it Myself, or ask for it for Christmas, cause well I DO love Kiss... But I was SO not impressed with Psycho Circus.... And yea, saying the new album is in the vein of Rock and Roll Over DID peak My interest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'll be a first day buyer but as Keith said I'm conflicted too. I'd rather them be with Ace and Peter but I understand why their not. Besides I'd rather them be releasing new music instead of just touring as an oldies band every summer.

Geoff Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 That's actually pretty cool news. Very unexpected. To be honest I don't expect too much, but I'm definitely interested to hear what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob62972 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm a fan of Paul's solo release "Live To Win" but absolutely hated Gene's "Asshole". I hope this disc will be good but I'm not expecting much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangerdave Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I know i will buy it the first day it's released even though Gene has sucked plenty of $ out of me in the past.Psycho Circus was ok but please nothing like"I Finally Found My Way" If it's going to be like"Rock n Roll Over" bring it on.

heavyharmonies Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Meh. I wish they would stop trying to perpetually recapture their '70s sound, all the while disavowing everything they released in the '80s. Maybe it's just me, but the early stuff just gets tired. My favorite KISS material is the stuff that always gets glossed over and ignored: Lick It Up, Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights, Hot in the Shade. Half the time I think KISS pretends those albums were never released. *bleagh* -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Planet Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I find it hard to believe these guys can put out quality new music......the only thing they seem to have a passion for is money....however I'll keep an open mind when the samples come out.....

While their early album are where all the "classic" songs are found, it's the 80's albums that have the better songs IMO...Lick It Up & Animalize in particular.

Fat Freddy Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I honestly have never understood all the love for ANIMALIZE. That album is strictly average. There are, at best, three good songs on that record, and by the way, "Heaven's On Fire" ain't one of'em. That record started a downhill slide that didn't 't stop till Gene quit trying to be Mr. Hollywood movie star/record label mogul, turned off his auto-pilot and got mean again on the REVENGE album.

Jimbo Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Whoa whoa whoa, hang on a sec there.. Are You saying songs like "War Machine" "I Love it Loud" and "God of Thunder" Suck????? That can't be what you meant, could it??? Um... technically, "God of Thunder" is a Paul song... he wrote it, not Gene. And "War Machine" was co-written by Brian Adams. I can't believe the sentiment being espoused for the 80s hair metal version of KISS. Aren't there ANY hard rockers left on these boards? And as far as the best songs being on the 80s stuff, let me list the classics before 1980: Detroit Rock City King of the Nighttime World Do You Love Me Shout It Out Loud Calling Dr. Love Love Gun Firehouse Strutter Watchin' You 100.000 Years Shock Me I Stole Your Love and the list goes on... Here's the classics after 1980: Listen, I'm a huge fan. I've had a love/hate relationship with this band almost my entire life. I even have sentimental attachments to the albums I don't particularly listen to very much (Animalize being the main one), and might be the only person on the planet who forgave them for making a grunge album in a moment of weakness (Carnival of Souls). Heck, I like that one better than anything after Dynasty. But most people who fell in love with the band did so because of the heavier stuff, not the Bon Jovi retreads... The new CD might be crap, especially since Gene is running out of cliches and Paul is not the greatest producer, but I'll still buy it before I hear it, because they're still "my band" and...HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL! (Now THERE'S a cliche for you Gene!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
