ACE FREHLEY BELIEVES FAME TURNED GENE SIMMONS INTO A "SEX ADDICT"
(from starpulse.com)
Rock wildman Gene Simmons struggled to bed women before finding fame but the glare of the spotlight turned him into a "sex addict", according to his Kiss band mate Ace Frehley.

Simmons, who wed his long-term lover Shannon Tweed in October, only slept with women "once or twice a year" in the early days of the band, Frehley claims in a new book.

However, after shooting to stardom, he bedded hundreds of groupies to make up for lost time.

ME AND DOC McGHEE; KISS AND OTHER STORIES
(from Chicago Sun-Times/David Hoekstra)
Ace Frehley may consider his former bandmates in Kiss “a bunch of dirty rotten whores,” but he also admits that he’d be dead twice over via drowning if it weren’t for the intervention of one Gene Simmons.

In his new (and highly engrossing) book ‘No Regrets,’ which comes out this Tuesday (Nov. 1), the guitarist recalls two different occasions where Simmons saved him from drowning. The first incident happened at a hotel room in Atlanta while the band was on a tour. “We were all hanging out poolside, soaking up the sun and enjoying life. I had had one too many beers that evening and shouldn’t have been swimming,” the five-years sober guitarist remembers.

KISS: THE BAND AND THE BRAND
(from CNN)
A CNN exclusive: Poppy Harlow goes inside the world of KISS - the band and the brand. From coffins to comic books to condoms, KISS has licensed about 3,000 pieces of merchandise, more than any other band. Harlow interviews Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley at their homes in Los Angeles, talks to the entire band at their studio, then accompanies KISS to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for a rock concert before nearly 30,000 fans. This is KISS like you've never seen before.

One hour - four stories you won't want to miss. CNN Presents hosted by CNN's Soledad O'Brien and Dr. Sanjay Gupta airs this Sunday, October 23 at 8:00 pm ET, re-airing at 11:00 pm ET and 2:00 am ET.

KISS KRUISE DAY 3: START PLANNING FOR 2012
(from Broward Palm Beach New Times)
KISS Kruise
The Palladium Lounge, Carnival Destiny
Saturday, October 15, 2011

View all of our coverage here, and check out a Kiss live slideshow here.
 
When a person says "P.S., I Love You" on the Kiss Kruise, it's more than likely referring to the group's singer, Paul Stanley. Without devoting several paragraphs to the power of his pouting, puckered red lips and backhand pick-tossing, let's leave it that he was one fierce bitch for the second full-makeup show this past Saturday night.

"Strutter," which Stanley reminded the crowd was a song on the band's original demo, awakened a story about the New York of yesteryear -- a time of leather and lace. But Stanley had the hip swivels to rival any woman of that era for a few seconds during the second full-makeup performance of the cruise.

"We decided we're doing this again next year," he announced early on while the boat was docked in Nassau, Bahamas. "This is like camp on a boat!"

EDDIE BALANDAS, FORMER SECURITY CHIEF FOR KISS, DIES

Eddie Balandas, whose growling South Side sneer can be heard booming out the intro for the album “KISS Alive II,” died in a fitting way for a former security chief and roadie for the grease-painted rockers.

Mr. Balandas loved to mingle with KISS fans and answer their questions about a band that took Kabuki makeup to a level exceeded only by the group’s longevity — which rivals that of a Galapagos tortoise.

ACE FREHLEY CALLS KISS "A BUNCH OF DIRTY ROTTEN WHORES"
(from Ultimate Classic Rock)
Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley is certainly not pulling any punches in his new autobiography ‘No Regrets,’ labeling today’s version of the band ‘a bunch of dirty rotten whores’ and detailing several incidents that led to his second departure from the group.

Frehley contends that founding and remaining band members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have tried to rewrite history by downplaying his contributions to the band. He takes particular umbrage to the band having former road manager Tommy Thayer take over his “Spaceman” character: “My first reaction was, ‘Isn’t anything sacred to those guys?’ But I soon realized their lust for money outweighed any sense of fairness or logic on their part.

As hard rock blasted through Carnival Cruise Line's huge atrium in the Port of Miami boarding terminal the afternoon of October 13, nearly 2,000 Kiss fans embarked on a weekend in their musical and geographical paradise. Women with pink hair wearing pink cardigans to match, men in spiky silver armor, and nearly everyone else in T-shirts dedicated to the band assembled for a weekend celebrating a 40-year-old New York glam-rock band. These men, women, and children are the charter members of the Kiss Navy.

NASSAU, Bahamas — At first glance, the thought of Kiss on a cruise ship seems tongue-in-cheek.

But when the first Kiss Kruise launched Friday from Miami, it was all business: rocking ’n’ rolling all night, wearing black and white face paint, and of course sticking your tongue out just like the wet carpet of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.

KISS ROCKS THE KRUISE FOR A THIRD NIGHT
(from Kissonline)
As if KISS couldn't get any better.

Last night, KISS took to the stage again, bringing another smashing set of KISS classics and favorites to their devoted fans on the KISS Kruise. Performing in a 1500-seat theater aboard the Destiny, there was no pyro, no bombs, and no fire... but the show was hotter than hell. With the band up close and in such an intimate space, fans enjoyed another memorable evening of music and fun.

Due to the capacity of the Destiny's Palladium theater, fans aboard the Kruise received a ticket to either Friday night's concert or Saturday's, with each concert simulcast on the ship's Lido Deck massive outdoor screen so fans had the opportunity to enjoy both shows.

Set list:
I Stole Your Love
Getaway
Room Service
Two Timer
Comin' Home
Strutter
Nothin' to Lose
Love Her All I Can
All The Way
She
Take Me
Goin' Blind
Parasite
Rock Bottom
C'mon and Love Me
Got to Choose
Lick it Up
Shout it Out Loud
Hard Luck Woman
Beth
Detroit Rock City
Rock And Roll All Nite

"This is like camp... on a boat. It's awesome." - Paul Stanley

KISS KRUISE DAY 2: THE BOAT REALLY ROCKS
(from blogs.browardpalmbeach.com)
After an unmasked Sailaway Show on Thursday, KISS Kruisers got the full-on, legend-making experience Friday. The mild-mannered Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer morphed into seven-foot-tall aliens to the delight of the overflowing Palladium Lounge Friday aboard the Carnival Destiny.

Revelers, with a few Carnival staffers mixed in, packed the 1,200-capacity theater in various Halloween garb -- many of which featured meticulous facepaint of their favorite member of the band -- and from the moment the lights dimmed, all attention dripped onto the wall of 124 lightbulb-decorated speakers, the dry ice fogging the floor, and a giant video screen running through countless digitally enhanced versions of the band's iconic logo.

PETER CRISS HITS THE ROAD TO EDUCATE MEN ABOUT BREAST CANCER
(from Ultimate Classic Rock/by Matthew Wilkening)
As most of us know, Peter Criss, founding drummer of Kiss, survived a breast cancer scare four years ago. Thankfully, everyone’s favorite “Catman” has been healthy ever since, and working hard to educate men about the importance of early detection.

He’ll be taking part in the 2011 Making Strides 3K walk in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. this Sunday (Oct. 16), and took some time to tell us how he dealt with his diagnosis and how he’s helping others stay healthy. Of course, we couldn’t resist talking to him about his musical career first:

So, this is a big thrill for me. ‘Hotter than Hell’ is the first record I ever owned, at age eight.
Oh, great record — and I’m glad you called it a record, cause that’s what they are, although, it was a strange album, put it that way, but yeah, it was a good album.

INTERVIEW WITH PAUL STANLEY
(from LA weekly)
By Linda Leseman
Paul Stanley, rhythm guitarist of KISS, has been rocking the Starchild for nearly 40 years, over which time the group has accumulated 24 gold albums -- more than any other American band. But perhaps even more importantly, in that time he has managed to shave about an hour and a half off of the two hours he once needed to do his makeup. "I don't know that it's much different than the boxers and the UFC fighters before they go in the ring," he says. "They're in the locker room going through their rituals and their paces to get ready to defend their title. Every time we step out onstage, we have a title to live up to."
