(from Pavel Hromada)
Kiss are on the cover of "Classic Rock" (2/2010) in the Czech Republic.

He admitted that he's not handy at guitar computer games even if he is pretty fine at the real thing and describes the sensation of playing on stage in front of a big audience as "euphoric".

"Sometimes I'll play and I'll feel like lightning shots through my arms," he adds, "I don't know where its coming from but I guess there's energy from somewhere I'm picking up."

He shared some of that energy in his conversation with us, that you can hear here... click here to listen to the interview.

CALLING DR.LOVE: KISS INVADES THE SUPER BOWL
(from etonline.com)
Only ET is behind the scenes with legendary rockers Kiss on their first-ever Dr Pepper Super Bowl commercial -- featuring Mini Kiss!

"The basic premise of this is I'm Dr. Love -- you're not," Gene Simmons tells ET. "Dr. Love is here to make you all feel better, girls."

Airing during the second quarter of the big game this Sunday, the ad features the return of Gene as Dr. Love along with lead singer Paul Stanley and the rest of the Kiss line-up rocking onstage with Mini Kiss, extolling the virtues of Dr Pepper Cherry's uniquely smooth taste.

"It's a little hint of Kiss with a little hint of cherry," says Paul in pitchman mode.

"It's always the sincerest form of flattery," says Gene of the band's pint-sized counterparts. "Mini Kiss has everything that we have -- perhaps not the same size, but then size isn't important… Yes, it is important, isn't it?"

"That's right, and they work for half price," adds Paul. "Their songs are shorter."

Native New Yorker and major Kiss fan Joey Fatale, who plays mini Gene, came up with the idea for his tribute band one day while looking at one of the Kiss albums.

"It just popped in my head, the name Mini Kiss," he explains. "I said this'll be cool - four little people dressed up as Kiss." After their first gig at Studio 54 in Manhattan, they were an overnight success, and the rest is history.

"If it wasn't for Kiss, we wouldn't be here," he says reverently.
Watch ET for more with Kiss (including "the making" of the new Super Bowl commercial!

KISS ON "EXTREME MAKEOVER" ON FEBRUARY 21
(from Kissonline)
The KISS episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is scheduled to air Sunday, February 21 at 8 pm (EST) .

In the spirit of the KISS Army, when the ABC hit show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" told legendary rockers KISS about a family of needy KISS fans in Gainesville, Florida, who started a home-based, non-profit music school while their own home is falling down around them, the band heeded the call and launched the offense during their Tulsa stop on their North American KISS/Alive 35 tour.

INTERVIEW WITH ACE FREHLEY IN RAVE MAGAZINE
(from ravemagazine.com)
Guitar shop types will tell you (perhaps correctly) that former Kiss axeman ACE FREHLEY is a technically limited guitar player. But he’s unquestionably the definitive guitar player for Kiss. MATT THROWER discovers why.

This is awkward. Kiss and Ace Frehley have new studio albums out at roughly the same time. Although the brand name ensures Kiss’ Sonic Boom is the higher-profile release (not to mention a cleaner, more disciplined record), it can’t hold a candle to Ace Frehley’s Anomaly, a messy headrush of leather-clad hard rock and psychedelia. Dedicated to Dimebag Darrell and late Kiss drummer Eric Carr (that performer’s make-up persona hinted at in the killer rock & roll of Foxy & Free and a cover of Sweet’s Fox On The Run), Anomaly may even be making Kiss nervous.

On the eve of his Australian tour, Ace has just one comment to make relating to his former colleagues.

“Where did Paul Stanley play on his last tour?” Ace asks in his unmistakeable Bronx accent, a speaking voice unchanged since the 1970s.

ZWOLLE 1980 CONCERT POSTER ON EBAY
A very rare Dutch concert poster is listed on eBay. The concert poster for Zwolle, May 28, 1980! What's so special about this poster? It was a concert that never took place, because the tour was delayed, and it is a really cool looking poster with only Gene pictured.
