Couple Of Things On My Mind...
The wait is over! The new KISS album hit the stores today. Many of the Wal-Mart stores set up a KISS Korner at midnight last night. I've already seen reports today where KISS fans dressed up as KISS with all the face paint and hit Wal-Mart stores to get their copy of the new album last night. I missed out on getting there to pick up the album, but hopefully I'll be able to pick one up sometime in the near future. KISS hits Atlanta, Georgia Oct.26. Sorry to say I won't be there either because of health reason lots of you already know about. BOO-HOOOO! ;-)
KISS will be on the David Letterman Show tonight with their new album.(Tuesday Oct.6) Hopefully I'll get to see that tonight if the cable tv or power don't crash! Crossing fingers!!! lol
Another date come and gone. lol Ummm, where's the new

KISS's New Album
Reading what lead up to this new album, last December, Paul Stanley, contacted Eric Singer saying he wanted to make a new Kiss record. He seemed very keen and was very specific about the approach to our latest endeavors. Basically he wanted to make a Kiss record and music in the purest sense. Meaning no outside writers, the BAND plays on everything, and only use vintage equipment.
Quote from Eric Singer on the Album...
“I have to say this has been the most fun and pleasure making a record I have ever been involved in. The chemistry and overall vibe really made for such a great atmosphere and the playing, sounds and songs just really capture what Kiss is all about. Classic rock & roll.
As we were working up song ideas, everyone was very in tune and conscious of our goals at all times. Gene and Paul would retrace their steps from the past and focused on paying tribute to their roots of the early styles of classic Kiss by paying close attention to the way they sang and the sounds of the instruments.”
So Paul headed up the project like the leader that he has been. Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer are the only musicians playing these songs. A true band effort and performance!
As for the songs? Well, no ballads, no slow songs, no filler… From what I read, the band really has come full circle. Seems it's just pure straight-ahead rock and roll that has all the elements that made KISS fans love Kiss from day one.
The new album titled "SONIC BOOM" from Kiss is expected to surface at Wal-Mart stores in the US in October of this year.
I can't wait to grab this new album!!

1. Modern Day Delilah

KISS ARMY One Big Nation. NOT!
People can't understand why I hate living in Georgia so bad. Mostly it's because of the asshole attitudes I find down here from most people I come across.
This morning, it hit me once again. Over on MySpace, I requested a friendship with a KISS Georgia Chapter member a few days ago. Today when I logged in, I had this message asking me if I didn't like living in Georgia, then why would I want to be friends with them. I'm friends with other KISS State Chapters and I don't live in those states and they have no problems.
Never knew where we live or feel about where we live has anything to do with anything! I always thought that KISS fans were a huge world wide thing. KISS fans are suppose to be one big Family/Army/Nation. So that is exactly why I wanted to be friends with someone in Georgia.
Maybe I have been in wrong thinking all these years about what it meant to be a KISS fan!
So good morning Friday, you suck early today!

YESSS! KISS Completes New Album!
All songs on album are written and performed within the band made up of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer. (Shame Ace Frehley is not one now)
Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley made a surprise stop on June 5 at a Wal-Mart shareholders meeting in Fayetteville, Arkansas and a deal is in the works for Wal-Mart to display a 'KISS Korner' in their stores across the country. Wal-Mart just did this to display and sell the new Black Ice album for AC/DC around this past Christmas.

KISS To Release New Album In September
The album is going to be much the vintage, classic and 70's kind of album. Going back to the roots that made KISS the greatest band for many years.
Just let the tour come near me and you can bet I'm going to be there seeing them for the 5th time! :-))

Rock-n-Roll will never die!
Have you out grown the music yet? That music that you grew up with is what I mean. Listening to some music while working in the garage one day got me to thinking, do we ever grow out of what we used to like so much. And why would I or why should I if I still like it so much?
Sure today I like almost any kind of music that you can throw at me. Even stand some of the rap as long as I can make heads or tails out of it. But I always go back to that good ole never will die rock n roll stuff and some of the older heavy metal.
Back in my teens and on up until I was about twenty five or six, I went to a lot of rock concerts. Seen most of the big names at the time from Elton John to ZZ Top to Elvis. Always hated I missed the Beetles, but have seen Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Later I also went to a lot of country music concerts, but always fall towards the wilder ones like Hank Jr, Willie Nelson, David Allen Coe and Waylon Jennings, etc....
One concert I went to when I was barely in my teens. Was in Greensboro, NC. My mother took me and dropped me off to meet some friends there. The concert was KISS. Never have forgot the first time I saw KISS in concert. Opening for KISS was Gary Wright. Though he is good and I enjoy his music, I thought he would never shut up and get off stage. I had listened to KISS's music for so long and now I was getting to see them, and the night kept dragging on and on before they came out.
When Gary Wright finally left the stage, the building went dark. Couldn't see anything. Then there was cigarette lighter flames from people all over the building. Darkness seem to last for an hour. Then you could hear an announcement coming out of dark, Are you ready? "YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST! THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD...... KISS".
Then there were three huge balls of fire blew out of the top of the stage and reached all the way up to the ceiling of the Greensboro coliseum. In the glow of the fire you could see the band of KISS on stage before any lights came on. Their opening song was 'Firehouse'. Thought the roof was coming off the place. LOL!
I had never seen a concert as good as this was and I've never seen another band move me like KISS did. When it was over, I couldn't wait until they came back again. I'd be there and I did go back to the next three years they showed.
Later when time to pick me up, my mother must have thought she could find me inside with all those people at the concert. Anyway, she got in somehow for the last few minutes of the concert and saw KISS during their last song, "Rock and Roll All Nite". I finally met her after finding the car later and I don't think there was a word said all the way home about the evening. I was so high on the music and concert, I don't think I could have talked about it. Yeah, I know what your thinking. LOL!! Yes I was high too, but not all that high! I did smoke a little weed once in a while way back then. I mean, it comes by you at concerts every little bit, you take a drag off of it and pass it on to the next person. ;)
Anyway, The next day, I remember well to this day even. My mother was telling a friend she had drop me off at a concert and about what she saw when she walked in to pick me up. But she told her friend she had heard of things on earth sent from the devil, and this band KISS had to be one of them.
I remember just smiling and walking off to my bedroom and turning up the music. Parents just never understand kids! ;)
