PAUL STANLEY Is 'Open' To Idea Of Recording New KISS Album

November 18, 2008

KISS rhythm guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley has confirmed to Classic Rock magazine that the band is seriously considering recording a new album. Rumors of a brand new KISS release first surfaced last week on photographer Ross Halfin's blog. Now Geoff Barton has taken it upon himself to grab the Classic Rock poker and agitate the embers of speculation.

Classic Rock: What does the future hold for KISS?

Stanley: It looks like we'll be touring Europe as well as the States next year. You'll be getting more of what you saw at the Download festival this past summer — the "KISS Alive!" vibe amped up to the max. There might even be a new KISS album at some point. I have been ambivalent to the idea in the past but I'm much more open to it now.

Classic Rock: Why is that?

Stanley: Well, I thought that I'd be content for KISS to remain a heritage act, just playing our greatest hits — "Detroit Rock City" and all that. But the new KISS lineup with Tommy Thayer (guitar) and Eric Singer (drums) is proving to be so good, so strong in spirit, it would interesting to see how we perform in the studio. I must stress that no recording time has been booked at this point. But it if we were to go into the studio, the intention would be to make a KISS album in the style of our 1970s recordings. A classic KISS album, unmistakably.
