KISS’ Paul Stanley To Appear On ABC’s Nightline Tomorrow

After preaching the gospel of rock and roll for almost 40 years, legendary KISS frontman Paul Stanley was ready for a surgical tune up and had surgery October 26th to “tweak” blood vessels in his vocal cords. In a new segment scheduled to air on January 9, Paul shares his thoughts with ABC’s Nightline.

KISS’ Gene Simmons issued the following update yesterday: “KISS studio album (Monster) is done. Great job by Paul producing. Tommy (Thayer) and Eric (Singer) = really kicked it up a notch. Without overstating the obvious, when you hear the album, every single track rocks. No ballads. No outside writers. No keyboards. No children’s choirs. No nothin’. Just meat and potatoes.”

Paul Stanley says they will begin mixing Monster next week. He revealed a few new song titles from their upcoming album, Monster, to Classic Rock magazine. They include:

‘Shout Mercy’
‘Out Of This World’
‘Wall Of Sound’
‘Hell Or Hallelujah’
‘It’s A Long Way Down’
‘Back To The Stone Age’

“I wasn’t interested in making an album unless I was in charge and no one agreed to it half-heartedly,” says the singer and guitarist, taking a break from co-producing the record at Conway Studios in Hollywood. “The band’s all there, all the time, and we cut the tracks all facing each other in the same room. Chemistry and camaraderie, that’s essential. That’s what made Sonic Boom so great, and this album is thunderously better.”
