PAUL STANLEY Says There Will Be No Reunion Of KISS' Original Lineup

March 9, 2011

According to PressTelegram.com, KISS singer/guitarist Paul Stanley told CNN that there is no possibility of a reunion of the four original KISS members. "The word that comes up is 'closure.' We had a good time that deteriorated over time. When we did the farewell tour I realized I didn't want to say farewell to KISS, I wanted to say farewell to two of the members."

KISS previously announced plans to enter the studio in March to begin recording its new studio album for a late 2011 release. Stanley will once again produce the new effort after things went so smoothly on 2009's "Sonic Boom". "Paul knows more what a KISS record should sound like than anybody, to be honest with you, so he is going to lead the charge and produce it again and we are all really excited about it," KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer said.

"Sonic Boom" sold 108,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. This marked the band's highest-charting LP ever.
