KISS To Give Away CD Of Re-Recorded Classics

June 3, 2008

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has reportedly told Classic Rock magazine that the English newspaper The Mail On Sunday will give away a KISS "greatest-hits" CD featuring re-recorded versions of some of the band's best-known classics. The newspaper's special edition featuring the disc will apparently coincide with the group's appearance at the Download festival, which is scheduled to take place the weekend of June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK.

In a recent interview with Rockpages.gr, KISS drummer Eric Singer confirmed that KISS had re-recorded some of the band's eariest hits. He stated, "You know that many bands re-record songs so as to have the control over the copyrights. For example, if someone asks for a KISS tune, the band doesn't have to get into a bureaucracy with the record label. It is very convenient."
