KISS Working On New Material

2017-05-13 by Rolling Girl | 53 Comments
Gene Simmons, bassist of glam rock icons KISS confirms that the band are working on new material. “There’s some writing going on. Not too long ago I wrote a song called Your Wish Is My Command. It sounds anthemic, like something that might have come off Love Gun, maybe. But I’m not incentivised", the bassist told Michael Cavacini in an interview. He then goes on to explain why he has been hesitant thus far to release a new album.

“The idea that you work your ass off and then someone with freckles on their face decides they want to download your music and file share – that’s not what I work for...How’d you like to be a plumber, come over somebody’s house and work all day to fix their plumbing and then when it’s time to get paid they say, ‘No, I just wanted to say thank you.’ No...I’ve heard people say, ‘Oh, you have enough money.’ That’s what I need – an 18-year-old kid telling me when enough is enough."

As of yet there is no expected release date for the album.

Not remotely interested but he's not wrong about the reasons he's not interested in releasing a new album.

Yeah Gene, that's the only reason KISS shouldn't release new music: piracy.

The only people who still listen to Kiss are old dads who like shit rock music and 12 year old kids who don't know that they are listening to Shit rock music.

I don't think Illegal downloading is their problem.

"The world does not need another KISS album. It never needed any of them tbh."

I feel like black metal history would be slightly, but notably, different if Kiss didn't exist tbh. Their music and image had a huge impact on the genre's early days

Gene Simmons has always been an asshole. And as far as downloads go, most people do Spotify now. Plus, tours are what bring bands the most money anyway.

"I only make music for the money" is essentially what he's saying here.

What a crusty piece of shit.
The world never needed Kiss anyway, they didn't really influence much other than aesthetics.

He should really be happy if someone gives a shit about downloading his stuff. And he is really naive to think this someone would be "with freckles." Stupid asshole.
