GENE SIMMONS Reveals More New KISS Songtitles

July 9, 2009

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has told The Canadian Press that the band's new album, which is due this fall, will feature such songtitles as "Russian Roulette", "Modern Day Delilah" and "Stand".

Lead guitarist Tommy Thayer will write and sing his first song on the album, while drummer Eric Singer will also get his first opportunity to sing a lead vocal on an original song.

Simmons also promises there were no outside writers working on the Paul Stanley-produced disc.

And as for the sound of the album?

"No strings, no keyboards, no synths, no tambourines, no nothing -- just meat and potatoes," Simmons said.

According to Simmons, KISS is planning on taking some time off toward the end of the summer.

"We have a lot going on, I mean there's KISS M&Ms, there's KISS Dr. Pepper, there's KISS everything, soon it's gonna be Planet Kiss," Simmons notes.

In late September, the band will head out on its North American tour, which Simmons promises will include a return trip north of the border. "We're gonna hit Canada again," Simmons said, "because you've been very bad and you need to be punished."
