DALLAS GIVING KEY TO THE CITY TO GENE SIMMONS
(from Kissonline)
DALLAS -- Kiss bassist Gene Simmons is legendary for his musical talent and for the tongue wagging, fire breathing and blood spitting of his alter ego, the Demon.

But when the rocker and reality show celebrity comes to Dallas today to be honored by city officials, it will be for activities that are more in keeping with his other nickname: Dr. Love.

On Wednesday, during Super Bowl week, Simmons will be showing his love and continued support for American troops by throwing a fundraising party for them at Centennial Hall in Fair Park. As a show of appreciation, Dallas officials will toss him a key to the city.

INTERVEW WITH TOMMY THAYER
(from backstageaxxess.com)
One of the interviews Backstageaxxess.com set up while  at NAMM 2011 was with Kiss guitarist and all around nice guy Tommy Thayer.   Tommy was there to sign autographs and pose for pictures on behalf of his guitar amp company Hughes and Kettner. The Duotone amp is eye catching. It's lit up with an indigo blue that reflects Tommy's signature.  The best part about the amp is that Tommy's royalty payments from the sales of his signature amp go directly to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. After we talked about the amp, we dove into the state of Kiss.   Will there be a new Kiss album? Will there be a tour in support of it? Tommy answers these questions and more. Let's see if lightening really does strike twice...

GENE SIMMONS' ROCKS ADVERTISING WEEK
(from marketingmag.ca)
“Everyone here is a brand,” said Gene Simmons.

And if anyone knows the power of a brand it’s Simmons, a founding member of the rock-n-roll dynasty KISS and now an entrepreneur and marketing guru.

Simmons, 61, addressed a crowd at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto Tuesday during the Institute of Communication Agencies’ annual Advertising Week.

THE SIMMONS' FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
(from thestar.com)
There was no sign of the kabuki makeup or the platform dragon boots. No blood spitting “demon” bursting on the stage with his guitar and pyrotechnics exploding around him

Just a casually dressed Gene Simmons, the entrepreneur, offering his simple pearls of wisdom on how anyone can become successful and/or rich.

Simmons, the 61-year-old rock star, told about 400 curious onlookers at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts that they needed to listen, save, diversify, conduct proper due diligence and spend other people’s money to make it to the top.

Appearing as an Advertising Week event sponsored by the Toronto Star, he said they may not make it big like him as the architect of the worldwide KISS marketing and merchandising juggernaut but his tips might help.

“Everyone here is a brand,” said Simmons, who received $100,000 plus expenses for his 1-hour package of thoughts and answers to questions.

SUPPING WITH SIMMONS
(from thetelegram.com)
Shelley Chase is used to hanging out with celebrities, but even she admits she was star-struck earlier this month.

Chase, along with Great Big Sea’s Bob Hallett, runs Garrison Hill Entertainment — this province’s only booking and management agency, representing musicians like The Once and comedians like Snook and John Sheehan. She’s also an experienced show producer and it was in that capacity she was invited to Moncton, N.B., a little over a week ago.

It was there she had dinner with legendary KISS rocker Gene Simmons and his Newfoundland-born former Playboy playmate partner, Shannon Tweed.

Chase was invited to Moncton by friend Brad LeBlanc, the 21-year-old CEO of Momentum Group, which organizes various events around New Brunswick. Last year, the company produced The Atlantic Dream Festival; a weekend-long motivational event featuring speakers such as Sir Richard Branson and Kevin O’Leary.

LeBlanc was co-ordinating the Atlantic Brand Confabulation, a networking and informational event about personal and business branding, and asked Chase to host. Simmons was the event’s keynote speaker.

“I was brought into the event to help program the whole evening, and he was brought in to speak about branding and marketing,” Chase explained. “I was terrified at the thought of meeting him because I thought he was an ominous character. You hear a lot of different stories and mixed reviews about him, but my experience with him was I’ve never met such a consummate professional.”

LeBlanc has said the brand confabulation was “the beginning of a lot of work” he plans to do with Simmons.

Branding and marketing is Simmons’ forte. KISS might not be as popular as it was in the 1970s, but Simmons continues to make a career from business deals using the band’s logo, on everything from kids’ toothbrushes to snowboards to condoms.

Simmons spoke to the 850-strong audience about the importance of being passionate and confident in their work and their brand, and afterwards took questions, with the help of Chase, who co-ordinated the segment. From seasoned professionals to student entrepreneurs, Simmons was interested in every question and answered them honestly and with heart.

INSIDE THE MIND KONDOMS, KASKETS, AND KISS SLURPEES
(from thestar.com)
LOS ANGELES—My sister has requested that I ask Gene Simmons if he could do something about his hair.
I do not want to ask Gene Simmons about his hair — all-black and hard-looking and seemingly friable — nor its possible reconstruction or remedies.
Nor do I care to ask about the rocker’s lasciviously long tongue and its presumed calisthenic capabilities.
Discomfiting sexual conquests and the exploration of possible inflationary claims? Are we going to go there? Please, no.
Nevertheless, here we are, twinned and travelling through the vastness of the 16,500-square-foot Benedict Canyon home where the Kiss bassist resides with erstwhile Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed, their two adult children, Nick and Sophie, and their two dogs, Snippy and Lucky, all of them stars in the Simmons publicity orbit, except for Lucky, a camera-shy Dalmatian.

VINCE HATFIELD RELEASE "BETH"
(from vincehatfield.com)
Vince Hatfield's latest single is an awesome heartfelt rendition of the Kiss classic, "Beth," recorded and produced by Eric Paul.  Vince had never heard "Beth" up until February 2010 when his wife, Shawn, a big fan of "Kiss" since childhood, played Peter Criss' original single for him. During his recent February 2010 recording session at Ricky Skaggs studio in Nashville, Shawn asked Vince to record the song. The song was recorded and mixed but remained unheard outside of the studio until fate stepped in. While on vacation in July 2010 with his kids at a condo in Corpus Christie, the kids turned on the TV to an episode of Gene Simmon's Family Jewels. As the show aired a segment of Kiss on tour in Australia, Vince, Shawn and the kids watched as Gene explained to the new drummer, (of appx. 5 years), why he said "no" when he asked if he could sing "Beth" live. Gene stated emphatically that he had given his word to Peter Criss (the original "Kiss" drummer, co-writer, and vocalist on "Beth") when he left the band that Kiss would never do "Beth" live again.  Vince says he really admires Gene Simmons for being the type of person that kept his word with Peter Criss. Vince believes that in business, as well as in life, that trait of keeping ones word, is regretfully very rare in this day and time.

The catalog is 8 pages and costs US $ 50,-. For US $ 150,- you also get a signature from Vinnie. But payment in advance!

KISS AT RODEO HOUSTON: EXPECT LOTS OF FIREWORK
(from chron.com)
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has been trying to get KISS to perform on its famous rotating stage after the Chuck Wagon Race and Calf Scramble for years.

I know, KISS is the first act that comes to mind when you think rodeo. But neither was Julio Iglesias in 1986 or Larry the Cable Guy in 2006. How can you make the ladies swoon, or do comedy, in a football stadium? But hearts were fluttering and bellies were jiggling, all right. The rodeo likes to keep things interesting.

KISS is going to be incredible in Reliant Stadium March 15. Rodeo clowns, fried Twinkies, barrel racing, turkey legs, bumper cars, tight jeans and Gene Simmons spitting up blood … for an $18 ticket? This is the greatest entertainment event in the history of the world.

KISS ON DUTCH TV
Yesterday Kiss was on the Dutch (Nld3) Top 2000 a gogo show. There was a backstage interview (Sonic Boom tour) where Paul explained what "I
was made for lovin' you" was all about, a backstage report about the costumes, footage from backstage and from a concert.

You can watch the report here.
