Examiner.com
Love them or hate them; 70’s theatrical rock band KISS is alive and well. The band recently announced on their official website www.kissonline.com that a new album is in the works and will be released in September 2009.
The new KISS album is the bands first studio album since “Psycho Circus” back in 1998.
Lead singer Paul Stanley is producing the new album and reports that “it is all written within the band and it rocks.” Paul also says, “guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer will both handle lead vocals at some points on the album.”
Bass guitarist Gene Simmons was quoted as saying, “The idea is to make the record quickly, like we did at the time of Destroyer, Rock And Roll Over and Love Gun. The idea is to work well, little by little, we can not spend too much time in the studio, and it has to be fast.”
Gene described the new record in an interview with Rock Daily as having a “classic ’70s rock & roll vibe. Meat and Potatoes.” “There’s nothing to prove to anybody,” Simmons said. “We’re not interested in musical trends or anything else. We’re too long in the tooth for that.” Gene says, “This is the best record we’ve done in 30 years.”
Whether you like KISS or not, they’re a time tested true classic rock band that definitely gives everyone something to talk about. With the bands phenomenal stage antics you can’t help but love the good show that these guys put on the stage and off.
