Paul Stanley: Last News

KISS singer and guitarist Paul Stanley has spoken about the idea of a reunion of KISS’ original line-up, saying it would be more like “PISS”.The US band was formed by Stanley, singer and bassist Gene Simmons, guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss in 1973. However, Frehley and Criss went on to leave the band in the ‘80s, although both have performed with the band since.In their current form, KISS features Stanley, Simmons, guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer.In a new interview, Stanley was asked why the band had not performed at their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 2014 – and if it was because Thayer and Singer were not included in the inductions. “The hypocrisy is that we’re not a band they like,” the guitarist told The Howard Stern Show.

At one point, West claimed that Cube had “really influenced” him to “get on this antisemite vibe”.West has made a slew of antisemitic comments over the past weeks. A post directed at the Jewish community led to West being suspended from Instagram and later Twitter, where he wrote that he “[would be] going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE”.West’s comments were criticised by the likes of David Schwimmer, John Legend, Jack Antonoff and KISS‘ Paul Stanley.

KISS frontman Paul Stanley has insisted mental illness is no reason to excuse Kanye West's antisemitic outbursts. West's Instagram and Twitter accounts were locked over the weekend after he shared posts that violated both platforms' guidelines - including comments aimed at fellow rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs accusing "Jewish people" of telling him to call and "threaten or influence me". He later doubled down on the antisemitic comments by tweeting he was, "going death con 3 (sic) On JEWISH PEOPLE".

KISS frontman Paul Stanley has become the latest celebrity to speak out against Kanye West after the rapper shared a string of antisemitic and racially insensitive comments.Last weekend, West was banned from Instagram and Twitter after sharing posts that violated both platforms’ community guidelines. On Instagram, West attacked Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs over his response to the rapper’s recent gaffe at this year’s Paris Fashion Week – where he donned a shirt emblazoned with the phrase “White Lives Matter” – by telling Diddy that he would “use [him] as an example to show the Jewish people that told [him] to call me that no one can threaten or influence me”.After being booted from Instagram, West took to Twitter, where he wrote that he “[would be] going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE”.

KISS singer/bassist Gene Simmons has said that he doesn’t have any friends.The musician, 73, recently spoke to Goldmine magazine for its October/November 2022 issue amid KISS’ ongoing ‘End Of The Road’ farewell tour.“Even today as I sit here, other than Paul [Stanley, KISS co-founder], and we only get together when we do stuff for the band… How do I say this without sounding inhuman? I don’t have friends,” Simmons told the publication.“Yeah, if friends means, ‘Gee, I don’t know what I’m going to do this afternoon. Hey, you want to come over and hang out?’ I’m more interested in what I want to do, and I don’t want to pretend that I’m interested in what you want to do because I am not.”As Blabbermouth notes, Simmons has previously opened up about his lack of close friendships. He said in a 2006 interview on KISS’ official website that Paul Stanley was “simply the brother I never had”, adding: “I feel closer to Paul than anyone I know.”Simmons continued: “I have almost no friends.

When Kiss finally bring their lengthy farewell tour to an end and actually retire from that touring lark, what are they going to do? Well, while they’ve hinted at various post-touring plans, none of them include recording new music. So says guitarist Paul Stanley, anyway.It’s now ten years since the band released their last album ‘Monster’, and so the question of a follow-up naturally came up in a new interview with Stanley on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast. But the answer to the question “will there be a new Kiss record” is a simple “no”.But not because any new record wouldn’t be any good.

KISS have announced a deluxe reissue of their 10th studio album, ‘Creatures Of The Night’, set to arrive on November 18 in belated celebration of its 40th anniversary.Alongside a slew of merchandise, KISS will release the 40th anniversary edition of ‘Creatures Of The Night’ in five versions. There’ll be a single-disc CD and vinyl pressing – which will both feature a newly remastered mix of the original nine-track album – as well as a deluxe edition (over two CDs or three vinyl records) with an additional nine demos, rarities and outtakes, and seven tracks recorded live on the 1982/83 ‘Creatures’ tour.Rounding out the slate will be a “super deluxe” edition spread across five CDs, featuring a total of 103 tracks (75 of which are previously unreleased).

KISS music because it will “never compete with the past”.Speaking on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Stanley said he and his KISS bandmates won’t be making a follow up to 2012’s ‘Monster’ soon because new music won’t have that “connection to important times in your life”.When asked if the band were working on new music, he replied: “No. Because at this point, I came to the conclusion that it can never compete with the past.
