New KISS 'Elder'-Period Footage Surfaces

April 22, 2009

Previously unreleased "outtake" footage from KISS' ill-fated "Music From The Elder" period has surfaced on YouTube (see below). This is the first time in nearly 13 years that any new "Elder"-era master tapes have been discovered. The clip, which is dated January 5, 1982, features band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley (along with their then-manger Bill Aucoin) talking about King Kong and former KISS road manager Sean Delaney as they prepare to tape a segment for a short-lived CBS-TV series. Also available is professionally shot footage from KISS' 1980 "Unmasked" stadium tour of Australia.

The clips were released to promote a continuing series of KISS auctions from eBay seller EliteWorks. Among this week's 53 items: promotional-only releases such as the sampler LP for "Rock And Roll Over" and "Gimmie KISS", a 1990 greatest hits compilation; 1975 autographs from Ace Frehley and Peter Criss; loads of promo CDs and 8-tracks, a used Gene Simmons blood cup, and the mega-rare blue label seven-inch single for "C'mon And Love Me".
