Gene Simmons reveals Kiss was ignored shooting an iconic album cover on the NYC streets: ‘Not even looking at us twice’
Kiss suited up to shoot the iconic cover of the band’s 1975 album “Dressed To Kill” on the southwest corner of 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, there were no stylists or tailors involved.“I did not own a suit or a tie, so I had to borrow our manager at the time Bill Aucoin’s suit,” Kiss co-frontman Gene Simmons, 75, exclusively told The Post.“He was a much smaller man … So I put on his suit and nothing fits. If you look at the album cover, the sleeves were short, and the pants didn’t go all the way down.”Plus, Simmons had to finagle his footwear from one of his bandmates.“I didn’t have dress shoes,” he said, “so [Kiss guitarist] Ace Frehley had a pair of white clogs that he used to walk around with, and for no reason at all, I put on the clogs that are on the cover.”It all made for a classic album cover in rock history that is revisited on a new audio walking tour of New York spots that shaped Kiss and the group’s third LP, which inspired generations to “Rock and Roll All Nite” after it was released 50 years ago, on March 19, 1975.Along with Simmons and his Kiss co-frontman, Paul Stanley, photographer Bob Gruen — who shot the cover of “Dressed To Kill” — shares his makeup-covered memories in the 60-minute tour that takes you from 23rd and Eighth to Greenwich Village’s legendary Electric Lady Studios, where the LP was recorded.Gruen was shooting Kiss for a Creem magazine story — in which his photos would be used in a comic-book treatment on the band — and ended up taking the album cover pic.“It was just a whim.

Ace Frehley says new solo album will make Paul Stanley “look like an imbecile”
KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has claimed that his new solo album will make frontman Paul Stanley “look like an imbecile”.Drama between Frehley and his former bandmate started earlier this year, after the KISS singer explained why the band didn’t perform when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame back in 2014.Among reasons was the “demanding” nature of the Rock Hall, which wanted KISS to take to the stage with its original members – Frehley and Peter Criss – which Stanley said would be “demeaning” to the band, adding: “‘Cause if you saw people onstage who looked like KISS but sounded like that, maybe we should be called PISS.”Frehley subsequently threatened to release “dirt” on KISS if Stanley didn’t apologise, later sharing that he didn’t apologise, but called to say “fuck you”.In a new interview, Frehley has now offered an update on his latest album, while also launching a fresh retaliation against Frehley.“I think it may be the best album I’ve ever done to date,” he said during an interview with Indiana rock radio station 93.5 FM MAX (via Blabbermouth).Asked if he every imagined his his solo career would have this kind of longevity, he said: “It was hard in the beginning, but now I’ve picked up a lot of steam. In fact, I remember when I first signed with eOne Music — now they sold the record company to MNRK Music Group, and I’m still working with the same people — but I remember the guy that got me signed to the label, he told me that, before [2009’s] ‘Anomaly’ came out, he said a lot of people said to him, ‘You’re not even gonna get the record.’“Because Paul and Gene [Simmons] have pretty much tried to destroy my credibility by calling me a drunk and a drug addict and somebody who’s not dependable.
