Kiss Play As A Trio As Paul Stanley Misses Kiss Gig

Legendary rock band Kiss celebrate three decades since the release of their landmark live album Kiss Unplugged, a performance that not only showcased the band in an unprecedented acoustic setting but also ignited the reunion of the original lineup.

As Kiss' landmark album Destroyer reaches its 50th anniversary, The Hollywood Stars have returned to the song they originally created, releasing a newly recorded version of King Of The Night Time World with veteran producer Michael Lloyd.

As the background to the recent Noise11 story surrounding Vincent's high priced single continues to attract attention, his complex legacy inside and outside the Kiss universe deserves closer examination.

Vinnie Vincent, the former Kiss guitarist famed for his “Ankh Warrior” persona, has reignited discussion among fans by announcing a limited-edition CD single priced at $225. Titled Ride The Serpent, the track is the lead release from Vincent's upcoming album, Judgement Day: Guitarmageddon Part 1, and will be issued in a strictly limited run of 1,000 CDs globally if he meets his quota. Each copy is individually numbered and personally signed by Vincent, who insists the pricing reflects both the collectible nature of the release and the realities of the modern music industry.

The Kennedy Center Honors television broadcast has recorded its lowest audience in the history of the event, with the 2025 ceremony attracting significantly fewer viewers than the already diminished audience of 2024. Early ratings data indicate that the CBS broadcast averaged approximately 2.65 million viewers, a steep fall from the 4.1 million who tuned in last year, representing a decline of more than 35 percent.

Stanley Simmons, the new collaboration between Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, has released its debut single Body Down. The project brings together the sons of KISS co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, yet the music heads in a direction far removed from the band that defined their childhood.

Nearly half a century after KISS marched through the streets of Manhattan in borrowed business suits, the band's third studio album Dressed To Kill has returned in a lavish 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have produced an unboxing video of new set, revisiting the frantic early years that forged the record and ultimately launched KISS toward global domination.
