KISS' PAUL STANLEY - "We Know Fans Don’t Really Want New Material"
April 22, 2008, 16 years ago
KISS frontman PAUL STANLEY spoke to Josh B. Wardrop from Panorama Magazine about a number of topics recently. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:
Q: Are there more KISS tours or a new album on the horizon?
A: "We just did some massive shows in Australia and New Zealand, and in three weeks we’re heading to Europe. So, KISS is alive and ready to blind you, deafen you and pummel you into submission (laughs). A new album? We’re asked about it, but we know fans don’t really want new material. I could write the next 'Let It Be' and people would say, 'That’s great. Play ‘Love Gun.’' And we’re happy to do that."
Q: Why hasn’t KISS been elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
A: Because the people who own it are part of what I call the East Coast Music Mafia, and their opinions don’t really reflect rock fans’ in general. Unfortunately, it’s a sham with a very official-sounding name."
