KISS SONGS WILL GO ON FOREVER

KISS frontman Paul Stanley is convinced the veteran rockers will never 'grow tired' of playing the same old songs - because it would be 'disrespectful' to their fans to retire their classic hits.

The Love Gun hitmakers formed in 1972 and have sold more than 85 million albums worldwide throughout their long running career.

The band recently announced they are heading back to the studio to record their first new material in ten years.

But singer Stanley is adamant that they are are not going to focus all their efforts on the new record - insisting they will still reward their legions of fans by filling their live shows with old favourites.

He says, 'Playing a lot of classic songs has really just whetted our appetite to go in the studio and transfer that, that same feeling and ferocity into new material. I would never, ever grow tired of those songs. The songs have made me both incredibly satisfied and rich and made a lot of other people very, very happy. It would be a show of disrespect - and maybe not deserving - to grow tired of something that's meant that much.'

PAUL ROCK 'N' ROLLS ALL NIGHT AND PAINTS (ALMOST) EVERY DAY

By Pete Catapano

He s more famous for painting his face, not canvases, but for years Paul Stanley, frontman for the legendary rock band Kiss, has been making the move from huge arenas to small galleries. Stanley, 57, will be in New Jersey this weekend for two art shows featuring his paintings and sculptures. The native New Yorker filled us in on his art:

When did you start painting? About eight years ago. I ve probably done 26 shows in the last year-and-a-half. Usually once a month I m in some city in America doing an art show and this weekend is no different.

How would you describe your...

'WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 35TH!'

Photos by Kim Barnatt

Gene's comments after seeing the Commodore KISS shots --

The day after that show (in Vancouver, BC) I was interviewed by Bob Geldorf, who would later go on to form his own band, The Boomtown Rats. He also started the Live Aid rock charity. At that time, he was a writer for the Georgia Straight, a local paper. I remember he started the interview with something like 'you guys weren't serious up there, were you.' I told him we would become the biggest band in the world and that he didn't understand what rock and roll was. It was clear we had a different point of view. Years later, when I finally got to see his band, the Boomtown Rats, I remember thinking: '..he can't be serious up there...' They soon broke up.

KISS? We're celebrating our 35th Anniversary!
