Kiss finds new energy in Glendale show

Kiss sounded better in Glendale than the 35-year-old band has in several years, hinting that the drama-filled exits of two founding members may have benefited things in the long run.

Longtime co-leaders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons kept a healthy-but-not-sold-out crowd at Jobing.com Arena on its feet with two hours of classics and a handful of songs from the band's new "Sonic Boom" album on Tuesday, Dec. 1.

Kiss purists no doubt lamented the absence of guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, but the band sounded sharper and more energetic as replacements Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer settled into their permanent status with the group.

The band, nominated this year for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, continues to stage one of the most over-the-top shows in rock.

The Glendale crowd, which included a number of children with faces painted to match their parents' heroes, ate up the extra-large helping of pyrotechnics, fireworks and acrobatics by bassist Simmons and singer-guitarist Stanley.

As if anyone needed reminding, master of ceremonies Stanley pointed out that Kiss concerts are all about escaping from the pressure of the outside world for a few hours.

Katey Sagal was one of Gene Simmons' conquests

Former Married... With Children star Katey Sagal has revealed she is one of the thousands of women Kiss star Gene Simmons claims to have bedded.

The TV star admits she was a struggling young actress, working in a diner, when she fell for the rocker.

Sagal recalls, "I was 18-years-old, I was a waitress at this restaurant and Kiss came in after one of their concerts - it was when they just started, so I went over and I waited on them... and Gene Simmons thought I was kinda cute, so we ended up kinda going out."

And she quickly realized that dating Simmons was a huge career boost for a budding star, who had dreams of becoming a singer: "I took him to my band practice... and he took me to Casablanca Records and he got me a record deal. Pretty good date, right? He sort of got me my first big professional break."

For Paul Stanley and KISS, rock and roll is not over

(lasvegassun.com By John Katsilometes) KISS, indefatigable glam/rock pioneers who spawned a billion Halloween costumes and its own teenage army, returns to Las Vegas on Saturday night for a show at Pearl Theater at the Palms. This fall, the band, powered still by founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, released its first studio album in 11 years, “Sonic Boom.”

This week the Las Vegas Sun corralled the 57-year-old KISS vocalist and guitarist as the band prepared for a show in Anaheim, Calif., this week. Following is the conversation as our BlackBerry chimed with Stanley’s eagerly awaited call:

“Hello, this is Paul Stanley.”

“Excellent. Where are you calling from?”

“Anaheim, getting ready for a show here.”

“Anaheim! The home of Disneyland and No Doubt!”

“Right! Gwen (Stefani) has played the Pearl Theater, hasn’t she?”

“She opened the place, yes. Speaking of that, I want to ask about this concert. How are you going to be able to scale down your live show, which is built for arenas and stadiums, for a small theater like the Pearl?”

“We have special shoehorn where we take our size 12 foot and jam it into a size 9 shoe. But rather than go back to a big arena, we wanted to play the Pearl again (KISS performed at the theater in August 2008). Every seat is unobstructed, which you don’t get often, but we’re not going to do the lounge thing. We’re going to test how much volume this place can handle.”

“Palms owner George Maloof likes to bring in bands he’s a fan of. Is that how KISS came to play the Pearl?”

“Yeah, he is a fan. I’ve known George for about 15 years now. It’s funny, I was there when the Pearl Theater was just rebar, talking with him about the day KISS would come to town. We were envisioning it even then.”
