Le livre KISS MONSTER book

Le KISS Monster book est presque fini…

Le livre KISS MONSTER sera disponible en juillet…

A défaut de nous informer sur la date de sortie de Monster, l’album, qu’on se languit d’acouter, KISS
nous propose un livre monstre comme lui seul en a le secret! Ce n’est
pas un livre pour table de café mais ce bouquin est une table de bar a
lui tout seul! De plus les photos sont parait-il incroyables… Elles sont
une rétrospective de toutes les périodes de KISS
maquillé, des débuts jusqu’à la période actuelle. Le bouquin sera signé
par chaque musicien et la couverture proposera le drapeau de votre pays
!!! Il sera daté et numéroté, disponible en juillet…

En outre mon ami Cannonball, alias Pascal Riccieri va sous peu vous proposer sa vision du groupe : KISS MANIA, kiss par un fan
s’est envolé pour l’imprimerie et la promo commence a partir du 15 juin
prochain! “La couverture nous représente tous et toutes, nous les fans
qui avons construit le mythe de KISS en grande partie a travers le monde!”… Découverte sous peu sur JATA…

KISS : Voici la première photo issue des sessions de Monster. Il semblerait que Gene Simmons ait retrouvé sa ligne et son allure de…1977 ! Palette graphique ou cure de jouvence ?

On July 4, KISS crosses the ocean for its very own Tea Party, performing
an Independence Day show at The Forum in London, a holiday most
certainly not celebrated in the UK, though this show might just offer
some reparation for that bitter defeat in 1776. The concert will serve
as a benefit for the British Help For Heroes organization, which raises
money for its wounded, sick and injured troops. The band owes its own
debt of gratitude to the English, admitting that Monster is influenced
by the country’s great, legendary rock groups who influenced and
inspired them to pick up their instruments in the first place.


“We’re all Anglophiles in this band,” says Simmons. “America may
have invented rock and roll, but England knew what to do with it. They
gave us THE BEATLES, THE STONES, LED ZEPPELIN and the Who.”


Timed to coincide with the release of the Monster album is the
deluxe coffee table, limited edition KISS Monster, a collection of
artworks, 126 photos from the band’s 40-year career, including
never-before-seen images from the world’s greatest rock photographers.
The three-foot high, two and a half feet wide and two-inch thick Monster
will be available in copies signed by all four band members and limited
to only 1,000 copies worldwide. More info at Kissmonsterbook.com.

KISS - "We Have To Be More Than An Oldies Act"




Earlier this week, KISS unveiled their new Monster book - it stands
three feet tall and two and a half feet wide - at a press conference at
the Viper Room in West Hollywood, CA. Chris Epting of Noisecreep spoke
with the band about their newest, and largest, merchandising endeavour;
an excerpt follows:





What sorts of memories were triggered in putting this package together? What did it take you back to?



Paul Stanley: "We originally did the band because we loved doing it –
that's it. Through all the trials and tribulations of playing in empty
clubs or whatever, you always have to think, or at least we did – this
will be a great memory someday. You don't see the negative side – you
look at it in wonderment. It's just a part of the journey. That said, we
were on a crusade from the beginning and we weren't going to quit until
everybody fell beneath our boots."


Did this feel like an important time in band history to create something this elaborate and inclusive?



Paul Stanley: "In a way it did. But musically, we reached a point
where we needed to do more than celebrate our past and what we had
accomplished. We needed to stake our claim to the future. And that's
when we went in to do Sonic Boom. And now Monster. It was about using
everything that we had built to this date as the foundation for
continuing to build this monument that is KISS. So it's great to have
all these great songs and the accolades in our history – but we have to
be more than an oldies act. We have to stake our claim – and that's why
our audience isn't necessarily just people in the sixties or fifties. It
goes literally from like five and six-years-old, because what's behind
KISS and always has been is the preaching of self-empowerment and the
idea that if you believe in yourself and you're willing to work hard,
that's nothing's impossible. We're the proof of that. It's heady stuff-
but it's also timeless. When people would see us in the early days, they
thought the songs were trite and juvenile. They thought that bands like
EMERSON, LAKE and PALMER – that was 'great art.' Put them on today and
put on our first album, and which sounds contemporary? We do – because
the simple truths are the real ones. When you sing about celebrating
life, then that will last forever. Singing about saving the whales?
Next!"
