The Howard Stern Show staffer, Sal Governale, spent a day with his idol, KISS legend Gene Simmons. The show has shared the video below, recapping Sal’s big day.
Broken Record Podcast‘s Justin Richmond recently spoke with KISS co-founder and frontman, Paul Stanley, who reflected on life beyond the stage since KISS retired from touring. Paul also opened up about what continues to fuel his creativity, and what it means to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army.
During the chat, Paul offered a preview of the upcoming KISS Army Storms Vegas event, taking place November 14–16 at Virgin Hotel Las Vegas.
Asked if he and Gene Simmons will perform at all at the event, Paul replies, “Well, we’re going to do a no-makeup set. We’ll play, you know, 15 songs, whatever. And Tommy [Thayer]… we’re all geared up to do it. We really look forward to it.”
When Justin Richmond suggests that the set will be acoustic, Paul reveals, “No, that’ll be electric. It’s gonna be great. And, the other bands that are gonna be announced, it’s gonna be everything that everybody loves on the KISS cruises. I think that was missing from what was being planned, and we needed to put our big hands into this and we needed to steer the ship.”
