There have been rumors and speculation, going around for a long time, that Kiss will hire new guys to wear the makeup and do the show for them. I have heard that the master plan is to have a number of Kiss “franchises” working planet-wide at all times. I have even heard some cynics that say it’s already been happening, that there is an existing stable of players ready to step in when needed.
Who knows?
But, some version of the Kiss “franchise” idea is going to happen, it’s a no-brainer.
Recently, there has been word that this is going to go down and the whole thing will be tied to a reality show.
According to this story, Gene and Paul aren’t on the same page.
Simmons recently told a Swedish journalist that the show was a done-deal. “We have already signed the contract,” he said, “and it is going to go through in a couple of months.”
Not so fast, says Stanley, who insists his leather-clad partner is exaggerating. “These things are typical,” Stanley says. “Gene says something as if it was a fact, but there is no signed deal. The future has many possibilities. Will it happen next week? No! Am I opposed to the idea? Of course not.”
Of the likelihood of a Stanley-less version of KISS, the singer-guitarist has said, “I really, firmly believe there will come a time when the band will continue without me.”
Even if the “new Paul” looks and sounds the same, it will be a sad day indeed when the Starchild puts the platform boots in the closet. But, things change, the world moves on you know. You’ve had a good run Kiss, and we salute you.

..shouldn’t this read: there is an existing set of unstable players ready to step in…?
Gentle-persons:
Refer to my Bucket List that includes subsets of those who should retire. I see here in your attached photo Webster, my ex-mother-in-law, and I think Mel Gibson and Ben Affleck juniors, ..or is that two George Foreman juniors?
This is a chance for the semi-retired actors and such to get an act together as a Tribute Ensemble of the Keester-ites, thirteenth tribe of Israel.
And I actually think it is a grand idea. Tongue surgery, and Japanese foot wrapping is all that is needed.
However, if KISS is ever going to make it to outer space, Mars for instance, I wee a strong catholic case for Cloning.. no?

Of all of the disturbing notions about the possibilities of cloning, Kiss cloning ranks in the top percentile.
However, I could easily see a remake of “Boys From Brazil”. Instead of little Adolph’s running around, an invasion of little Kiss clones infiltrating society on a quest for world domination; scary.
