KISS Conflicted About Making New Music: KISS News
.
On Friday KISS Conflicted About Making New Music was a top story. Here is the recap: (Classic Rock) KISS remain "conflicted" on the subject of making new music, says frontman Paul Stanley. And he's ruled out the idea of releasing an album of songs he wrote with other artists in mind. Earlier this month he discussed the possibility of recording a follow-up to 2012's Monster, their 20th title, but admitted it might be "more for my own satisfaction than anybody else's." Now Stanley tells Radio.com: "It's a very conflicted subject. In one sense there's no reason to put out any new music, because the delivery systems that are available don't pay. "We're in a situation where artists have to take what they can get, as opposed to what they deserve. For me it's more of a moral issue than anything else - I don't have to worry about paying the rent, but what about new bands?" He adds that another consideration is fans' preference for classic tracks over new ones, and the time it takes for material to be regarded with more warmth. "A song can only become classic as it gains age," he reflects. "Fine wine has to age. What makes a song classic is that it endures. You have a time period or an event that's associated with it. That doesn't happen overnight." Read more - here.
