KISS frontman Paul Stanley recently did an interview with Classic Rock in which he talked about the possibility of a brand new KISS album which would be the first studio album of all new KISS material since 1998's "Psycho Circus." You can view some excerpts of the interview below:

What does the future hold for KISS?

"It looks like we’ll be touring Europe as well as the States next year. You’ll be getting more of what you saw at the Download festival this past summer – the KISS Alive! vibe amped up to the max. There might even be a new KISS album at some point. I have been ambivalent to the idea in the past but I’m much more open to it now."

Why is that?
"Well, I thought that I'd be content for KISS to remain a heritage act, just playing our greatest hits – 'Detroit Rock City' and all that. But the new KISS line-up with Tommy Thayer (guitar) and Eric Singer (drums) is proving to be so good, so strong in spirit, it would interesting to see how we perform in the studio. I must stress that no recording time has been booked at this point. But it if we were to go into the studio, the intention would be to make a KISS album in the style of our 1970s recordings. A classic KISS album, unmistakably."

Meh!....It doesn't sound interesting.
Never was a fan of KISS. Although I liked how Gene Simmons made a fool of himself on that "smarter than a 5th grader" TV show.

^I believe that this is a LOGICAL reason for Kiss to do a new album. I think they should do it.

I mean?...what will there new songs be about?...
Back then, their songs were about being outkasts. Not in today's world.

^Their songs were also about females and just rocking out. I don't know what sort of material they plan on doing lyric wise, but it's worth a shot.
Oh, I see you're on a Pantera kick too!

Hmm...a new Kiss album would actually sound interesting, but it's just too bad that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss won't be in it.

Gene probably won't want to do a new album because he's afraid he won't get all the money from it because of downloads. If they care about the fans like they say they do, they'll do a new album.

They'd have to sell it through K-Mart so their biggest fanbase can put it on lay-away!

O.o

I wasn't aware that Peter Criss and Ace Frehley left KISS again.. shame. I saw them live on one of their farewell tours (lol) and they put on such a great show.. awesome theatrics.

Now playing: Anthrax - "N.F.L."

I've never liked Gene Simmons anyway. In my opinion, Ace Frehley made that band great back in the 70's.

KISS is horrible. i've even seen interviews where a few of the band members admitted to being a purely live band, and that musicaly and on albums they were subpar, and had to reley on an intensley entertaining live performance to keep fans. i live in Texas and the only KISS song that i've heard on any classic rock station is "i wanna rock n roll all night", which is lame and over played. personaly, i think they should just retire for good, but money talks. plus Gene Simmons is annyoing as hell.

KISS is an underrated band, their last album "Psycho Circus" was a pretty good album, "Psycho Circus", "I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock 'n' Roll", "Within", "Into the Void", "You Wanted the Best", and "We Are One" were all great songs, if what Paul says about the album being more like the 70's stuff is true, than hell yeah bring this album out!

I have my fingers crossed for a great new classic sounding Kiss album. Let's hope it happens.
