Kiss

Passengers on board the recent Kiss Kruise had a chance to lob a few questions at the legendary band’s manager last month, and inevitably their exclusion from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came up. Doc McGhee didn’t dance around the subject. If the band is nominated for 2013 it won’t be because he’s saying all the right things.

Kiss are turning back the clock for the recording of their new album, ‘Monster,’ which should be out by the summer of 2012. The band is bucking the trend of using digital recording gear, opting instead for the retro experience of old analog equipment and a stripped-down approach. In other words, don’t expect any outside writers, extra keyboards or superfluous children’s choruses this time around.

If you think the popular rock ‘n’ roll legend that Gene Simmons has slept with 4,600 woman is a ridiculous farce, you’d be right — only, probably not in the way you’d expect. The number is even larger than that, the Kiss star claims in a new interview with The Sun. How much larger?

Gene Simmons worked out some deep-seated daddy issues during an uncomfortable exercise at marriage boot camp on Monday’s ‘Gene Simmons Family Jewels.’ Even a metal god isn’t above some psychotherapy, it seems.

In the biggest comic book crossover since Eminem crossed paths with the Punisher, the guys from KISS are meeting up with Archie and the gang from Riverdale High. The four-part series won’t begin until November 30, but you don’t have to wait until then to get a good look — ‘Archie Meets KISS’ has debuted its very own trailer, and you can watch it now.

In a lavish outdoor ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Tweed walked down the aisle in an ivory gown from Priscilla of Boston, swapping vows with Simmons as their two children, Nick, 22, and Sophie, 19, looked on.

Maybe Gene Simmons should have held his famously long tongue. Pedophilia comments made by the KISS bassist about Michael Jackson back in 2009 have prompted promoters of an upcoming Jackson tribute show in Wales to drop Simmons’ band from the lineup.

Who better to tell the story of Kiss‘ early years than the two members who have been with the band for its entire run? Guitarist Paul Stanley and bassist Gene Simmons are working with journalist Ken Sharp on a forthcoming book titled ‘Nothin’ to Lose,’ which chronicles the band’s birth through the success of the double-disc concert collection ‘Alive.’

He authored the Kiss classic “Shock Me,” as well as the guitar solos on many of the band’s other signature tunes. Now band co-founder Ace Frehley has penned his life story, which he’s titled ‘No Regrets.’ due Nov. 1.

Gene Simmons wept openly as he visited the grave of his estranged father, Feri Witz, on Tuesday’s episode of ‘Gene Simmons Family Jewels.’ Although Simmons did offer financial support to his father, he had very little contact with him later in life. Simmons broke down in tears as a letter from his deceased father was read graveside in Israel. In the letter, Witz complimented Simmons on his beautif
