KISS - "There's Some Writing Going On"

Will there be a new KISS studio album, or won't there? Bassist / vocalist Gene Simmons was recently interviewed by Michael Cavacini, during which he answers that very question; an excerpt follows:

Paul Stanley publicly announced on stage that KISS is going to record a new album. You’ve said that you don’t want to record a new KISS album. Which is it?

"There’s some writing going on. Not too long ago I wrote a song called "Your Wish Is My Command'. It sounds anthemic, like something that might have come off Love Gun, maybe. But I’m not incentivized. The idea that you work your ass off and then someone with freckles on their face decides they want to download your music and file share – that’s not what I work for. How’d you like to be a plumber, come over somebody’s house and work all day to fix their plumbing and then when it’s time to get paid they say, “No, I just wanted to say thank you."

No.

"You do work and you get paid for that work, right?"

Yes.

"Why shouldn’t I?"

Right. Makes sense to me.

"I’ve heard people say, 'Oh, you have enough money.' That’s what I need: an eighteen-year-old kid telling me when enough is enough. It doesn’t affect me at all. And it doesn’t affect the Stones or U2 – a lot of the bands that do well. There’s only a handful, actually. The saddest thing of all is that the next great bands, with the talent and the charisma and all that stuff, will never have the chance that we did – because there’s no music industry. There’s no way for them to pay the rent. They’re going to have to give away their music, practically, for free.

My daughter last year, Sophie, had a huge song that was released on Casablanca: 10 million downloads. Do you know how much she made?"

How much?

"$450."

Wow! That’s nuts.

"It almost makes you say, 'You know what, I’ll get a day job.' The saddest part of all is that, it’s not aliens from another planet, it’s not another country that invaded us and did that. No, no, no. Your next-door neighbor, the fans, are killing new music. They’re killing the bands that want to create music for them. That’s who’s killing it. You’re killing it, by not paying for it. Imagine how long a supermarket would stay in business if everybody went in, took the food and went away and didn’t pay for it."

Not very long.

"No, wouldn’t last very long at all."

KISS is currently on tour in Europe, their next show is May 12th in Dortmund, Germany. To view the complete live itinerary, click here.

KISS что-то сочиняют ... всю своё существование.
А где-то не платят водопроводчикам...
Кстати, у Симмонса не было мысли помочь пробиться кому-то из "нового поколения групп, обладающих и талантом и харизмой?"

Симмонс все об одном и том же.

Ага, всё-таки речь-то о выпуске альбомов, а не о сочинении песен, так что, судя по данному интервью, чисто творческая необходимость в написании песен у Симмонса до сих пор есть. Я так понимаю, он просто не хочет вкладываться в запись. Ну и да, он достаточно резок и прямолинеен в выражении своей точки зрения, зато вполне честен.

Кто о чём, а Симмонс опять о своих деньгах

Ну что теперь альбомы не выпускать что ли по его логике. Да, музыкальная индустрия сейчас абсолютно другая и правила другие, чем в их время, но ведь музыка, она же вечна, а бабосы нет. От Кисс никакого альбома и не надо. Они так уже всё что можно и нельзя записали. Такое чувство, что отними у них все деньги, и они забъют на музыку. Но всё таки за былые заслуги можно и закрыть глаза на их алчность. Уж очень клёвая группа.

Зачем ему одни и те же вопросы задают? Он всё равно в показаниях не путается, отвечает, если не буквально, то не удаляясь от смысла сказанного ранее. Как только не настоебенело отвечать долбоёбам... Умные давно бы о чём-то новом спросили.

Я от названия новости прям в голос засмеялся.:) Как-то оно смешно звучит. Вернее составлено смешно.:)
