Kiss – Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer – played their KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas over the weekend, marking their first show since their final show (touring) at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 2, 2023. But that’s not all! Turns out there might be new Kiss music to accompany their upcoming biopic Shout It Out Loud, too.
During a Q&A session during KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas, Stanley said: “There may be some music in the works. We like to tell you what we’re doing, the things that are planned. The problem is that so much of what we may bring up never comes to fruition, [but] music, yeah, that looks pretty damn… more than possible. Probable. I’m not going to give you any hints, but I only write when there’s a project — and I’ve been writing.”
Whatever the new music is, it’ll be Kiss‘ first effort since their Monster album in 2012. Stanley also revealed that Kiss isn’t planning any more shows at the moment, but they also never considered calling it quits prior to The End Of The Road: “Never. We did a tour where literally, we wouldn’t have this many people in an arena, and it was miserable.
“It was miserable to go out on stage, and at that time, really it came down to, ‘Do we go out there and take our frustration out on the people who were there who paid?’, or ‘Do we work that much harder so that those people would go home and tell other people what they missed?’
“I remember doing an interview, and a journalist said to me — they can be pretty unkind, and they can forget that you are actually people — ‘How’s it feel to be on the Titanic?’ I remember thinking, ‘Nobody [else] is going to decide when this is over,’ and that’s enough of a reason for it to continue — to show those pricks that we decide how long this is going to go on.
“There are people who after last night’s show are going, ‘Oh, they said they weren’t coming back,’ and, ‘Why are they doing this?’ Those are the people who never wanted us around in the first place. We’re not here for them.”
