KISS' Gene Simmons Says "Every Single Track Rocks" On New Album
January 7, 2012, 12 years ago
KISS' Gene Simmons has issued the following update:
"KISS Studio Album 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."KISS frontman 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."Check out Stanley's commentary at this location.
