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.
