Will KISS' Next Album Be A WAL-MART Exclusive?
- June 6, 2009
|
|
According to NWAnews.com, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, co-founders of the rock band KISS, made a surprise stop at the at the 39th annual Wal-Mart shareholders meeting Friday (June 5) in Fayetteville, Arkansas, fueling speculation that the next KISS album will be a Wal-Mart exclusive. Though they didn't perform, a camera crew from Simmons' A&E TV show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" followed him around Bud Walton Arena. There has been no official confirmation of a KISS deal with Wal-Mart, although artists such as THE EAGLES and AC/DC have both issued recent albums exclusively through the giant retailer. In addition, AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry may have inadvertently let it slip that the band's next studio album will come out exclusively through Wal-Mart. When asked in an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the album being delayed by Perry's and singer Steven Tyler's medical problems, Perry replied, "This is about the third time I've had to make excuses why the record isn't out. You line everything up just right: Brendan O'Brien producing, Wal-Mart and Sony screaming for the record, tour coming up, and there's no record. We're still in shock that it's not happening." Whereas Best Buy's exclusive deal for GUNS N' ROSES' "Chinese Democracy" involved a marketing campaign centered solely on the album, Wal-Mart saw AC/DC's "Black Ice" as a way to sell more than music. The company hawked AC/DC T-shirts and an exclusive AC/DC version of MTV Networks' Rock Band videogame. "As we looked at AC/DC's loyal fan base, that's when this idea came about: How do we pull in the music with other things?" Gary Severson, Wal-Mart's senior vice president for entertainment and electronics, told The Wall Street Journal in a December 2008 interview. "Some artists allow you that opportunity." In a recent interview with Wags & Elliott of the Columbus, Ohio radio station QFM96, Gene Simmons stated about KISS' forthcoming CD, "[It's the] first studio album in 11 years. And you can't force those things — either it's in your blood and it's happening or... This is, I have to say... this might be the best new record we've done since 'Destroyer'. In fact, it has a similar sound — 'Rock And Roll Over'-meets- 'Love Gun' kind of a record. That's coming out in September/October, and then we're gonna be doing a 60-city American tour."

I don't think anyone would be surprised to see the new KI$$ album distributed exclusively by Walmart. Walmart shoppers range from kiddies to seniors, and since KI$$ is now targeting an "all ages" audience, it makes perfect sense.
Plus, $tanley and $immon$ can flood the aisles of Walmart with all of their other crappy KI$$ merchandise: "Attention Walmart shoppers! Today, in aisle 10, we have a special on KI$$ tampons, buy one and get the new KI$$ album for free!"

As much as I hate the "Scab Era" Kiss. Hooking up with Wal-Mart, Best Buy etc. is a very good move. It worked well for the Eagles and AC/DC...not so much for GnR....
Let's face it. Most people who care about a new Kiss album ( or Eagles, AC/DC, GnR, Aerosmith etc) don't usually head down to HMV or their local record store.
Plus, the casual Kiss fan who has no idea it's not the "original" Kiss. Maybe out getting a garden hose, see the new disc and think..."I used to really be into these guys, I think I'll check it out".
Eventhough I hate Kiss' merchandising / marketing overkill, selling exclusively thru Wal-mart is a very good idea.

And that's what KI$$ is all about, merchandising and marketing overkill!
In a related story, a consumer warning was issued today. The KI$$ tampons and the new KI$$ album are not interchangable products! Female consumers are advised against attempting to insert the new KI$$ CD into anything but their CD player. ;-)

brianca, thats funny shit !!!
anytime you can get commercials for your album on prime time tv on your local channels as ac/dc was able to do w/ walmart, its a no brainer....good move for kiss
the bottom line though is, kiss is not going to be able to attract that much of a younger crowd. even by this and going on american idol ( there was a increase in record sales after that, though) they are just too old for the young crowd to relate to..
the sad thing though, as a kiss fan for 34 years. i have lost all respect for them. gene , in particular , has turned this band into 79/80 kiss all over again. all for a buck... no class / no integrity

OF COURSE KISS IS GOING TO SELL EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART - WHO CARES? IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO TRACK SALES. THE END.

Gene thinks he can pull off what AC/DC and the Eagles did?
Those albums were GOOD,that's why they sold.
Axl Rose Band /Best Buy didn't sell because it SUCKED.
If Gene & Paul deliver the goods it CAN be a minor success.
We'll see.................

FOR YOU TO TURN YOUR BACK ON KISS AFTER 34 YEARS IS A DOWN-RIGHT SHAME.
ACE WAS A DRUNK AND PETER IS OLD AND CAN'T PLAY. DID YOU EXPECT KISS TO "QUIT" CAUSE TWO OF THE FOUR FOUNDING MEMBERS ARE USELESS AS SHIT?
WOULD YOU RATHER NO KISS AT ALL. THAT WOULD BE FAIRLY SELFISH IF YOU SAID YES.

Where did your music integrity go??? It is no wonder that peter and ace want nothing to do with KIss!! Back in the old days kiss was about hard driving from the street rock music!! Now days it's like the circus comes to town with the new guys!! I love the old school kiss and always will but this is absolutely rediculous !! Walmart is for hanson ,miley, jonus not for rock legends like KISS!!!

The new KISS album will do well at Wal-Mart. As much as you haters think it will tank, we all know it will move at least 500,000 copies, which is very sucessful these days. Another gold disc for KISS....I know that just tears you haters up inside. Could be platinum. Anyway, get some new material for your bashing because there will be lots of KISS news on blabbermouth during the next year. Rock on KISS!!!

I think it is a good move. No matter what KISS does they are going to be put down for it . Who cares ! They are doing what they want and making money hand over fist so what the hell is wrong with that. If you done like them then don't listen to them. I for one am a life long fan and don't buy everything they put out but if it catches my eye then I buy it for my collection. They are not hurting anyone doing what they do so leave it at that. As for Eric and Tommy, they are awsome at what they do and bring a new life to KISS. Can't wait to see them in Halifax because that city needs a good kick in the ass to wake up and get some good bands in there. KISS will do that for sure.

cool, lots more ki$$ posts to bash them when the album is released, when it tanks, and when $tanley and $immon$ have to finally admit what everyone else already knows - ki$$ is over!

I find it very pathetic that rock n roll is now all about exclusive releases through ultra-corporate, mega-retailers.
That is SOOO un-rock n roll. Talk about cheapening the image of an art form that used to require street cred. Now it's all about teaming up with mammoth retailers and pushing real record stores even further out of the picture.
What's next? Is Metallica going to do a deal where their merchandise is only available at THE GAP?
Yippy, I can't wait for the day when Slayer gear is only available through JC Penney.

It's a reflection of the times. KI$$ is just like every other corporation - they exist to earn income for themselves. $tanley and $immon$ have not been interested in "rock and roll" credibility for decades. The saddest part is that fans of rock and roll still think that what $tanley and $immon$ represent IS "rock and roll".
Many of the bands that use to be "rock and roll" are now cashing in on their past gloy days at their fans' expense. KI$$ is no different.

When they broke ranks the first time,
*the new members created their own stage persona, & that was cool, not trying to fool the fans.
*then the makeup came off, again cool, not trying to fool the fans.
*then they reunited, cool, gave the fans what they wanted.
*then they are going to make a new album, $immon$ states they will just go into a room & do it like they used to in the beginning, again very cool shows the fans that this could be what was always meant to be.
*Psycho Circus= Gene lied to the fans & then had the audacity to act as though we are too stupid to understand why he & $tanley should have done what they said they would but didn't, This is bad.
*Farewell Tour announced= Right thing to do, end it in the right way without any BS.
*Farewell Tour ends, Frehley does what normal people do when you don't work at your job anymore.. he goes home.
*$immon$ & $tanley see that there is more $ to be made so they book another tour, $tanley calls Frehley & tells him they have more shows, Frehley tries to explain to the poor diluted fool that they told the fans they were done & done they are, $tanley tells him they will do it without him, this is also bad, bad, bad, do to the lack of integrity involved.
These two posers have doing this shit for years & if you can't see what the problem is maybe you are "Goin' Blind. If you really think Kiss continuing; with members pretending to be people they are not, or that the band goes on without any original members, all chosen from a reality show & you somehow believe this is what this band professed to be about from the beginning , then I would challenge that you are in no way shape or form a true Kiss fan, you are instead a fan who along with $immon$ & $tanley have sold out all for the mighty $, yes I know this band has always had $ signs in its eyes but, there was a time when they thought it was about the music 1st & the image was 2nd & that's what justified the $, case in point see the video of when they took off the makeup, they do stress this point, Its about the music!
So fuck this pretend band!
To you fans who support them; you are just like Thayer & Singer you are pretending to be something you are not! I'm buying Frehley's new album day one!

Get over the fact that the druggie (Ace) and the worlds worst drummer (Peter) are not in Kiss anymore! Personally Ace is way overrated and sloppy as hell. Peter was never any good at all, just serviceable. Every guitarist and drummer that Kiss has had since those two clowns have been better. I personally will purchase it whether its a Walmart exclusive or available in any store just to hear what it sounds like. I did not like Psycho Circus that much so I don't have much hope but I am willing to give them a chance.

I'll buy it used. I'm sure half of the people buying it will hate it. Hell, I probably will too, but the curiosity will kill me. I'll want to hear what cheezy rock cliche lines Simmons and Stanley will deliver the more out of touch they get. I'll probably listen to it like a comedy CD, a la Dane Cook, David Cross.
Will Paul Stanley write a song about painting? "Paint Gun?" "Paint All Night?" could it be a concept album? Whatever, I'm not giving Wal-Mart my money to find out.

The only way Kiss is gonna sell any albums of new original material is if they cater directly to the Wal Mart sheeple.
Average Kiss fan in 2009 doesn't care about new Kiss music; they just pile into the concerts for nostalgia and aren't real music fans that would actually venture out into a music store.
Simmons knows this and aren't afraid to insult his fan's intelligence because he knows how easily sheep are led.

I guess I'll have to wait till I see one in the used been at my local mom and pop just like Biack Ice because like a lot of people I won't spend money at Wall-Mart due to their unscrupulous business practices destroying smal business around the USA. I expect this from Gene. He doesn't give a shit about anyone outside his family he's not fucking but I'm sort of disapointed in AC DC and Aerosmith for their ambivalence towards the situation. Anyway till it hits that used bin I'll be hoping for something closer to Revenge than Psycho Circus

It's actually is really weird how many people here just say how much whatever is happening on here sucks so much. Really...it's just an article about Kiss releasing the new stuff thru Wal-Mart.
I think it's a good move on Kiss' part. It will sell well. I will buy one...although Ace and Peter will be missed.
Someone else said something about Ace and Peter starting a new band. I think that sounds like a cool idea. Try to blow Kiss away.

not to mention since wal-mart sales cheap as clothes, they make their profit there, so gene gets more from the cd'...

Really now...c'mon! With all the posts this article has produced (not to mention the world in general) it's my minor grammatical faux paus that you focus on.
Why?
Is it because your* one of those hero worshipping fanboys that feels it necessary to go rushing to the aid of his favorite artists just because of some criticism on a news forum? Let me clue you in on something...KI$$ doesn't care about you. You could die tomorrow and Simmons wouldn't even flinch. Don't give so much of yourself. You just totally made my point about "...how easily sheep are led".

AC/DC's "Powerage", "Highway to Hell" and "Back in Black" blow away anything KISS has done..
But KISS albums such as "Alive", "Destroyer", "Rock and Roll Over", "Creatures of the Night" and "Revenge" certainly blow away AC/DC's "Black Ice."

Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell have proclaimed over and over again that KISS was/is their favorite band and that Ace was Dimebag's inspiration for playing guitar.

When this CD only sells 50,000 copies. Yeah, you Gene and Paul lovers still claim they are the musical back bone of the band.
The die hards that made this band quit donating to this joke a long time ago. The $cab lovers are in the minority, the proof is in the Rock the Empty Seats tour and opening for Aerosmith.
Everyone stand in line to get the new CD entitled "Imposters", and get your tickets to the "We play State Fairs, driving ranges, and Hog Roasts" tour. Tickets are going fast.

Because they became a caricature of themselves. The farwell show was the same show as the reunion show, which I saw, and as the 1998 tour which I saw. Why keep paying good money to see the same show over and over again. The only good thing about the last time I saw them is they did throw in a couple of rarely played songs.

That's what I figured. As a KISS fan (not to be confused with a KI$$ fan), I saw the original line-up nearly a dozen times between 1977 and 2002. And, as much as I enjoyed the shows, they were always the same show! Of course there were new costumes and a new stage at times, but the set list was almost always identical.
And that's why I don't support KI$$, or scab KI$$, or 1/2 KI$$ or KI$$-lite, or whatever they are - I've seen the real thing, I don't want to see a KI$$ cover band, especially for $149.99!
And $tanley and $immon$ know this - they aren't so stupid that they don't realize that they are losing some of their core fans. That's why they've chosed the state fair and casino tour of Canada - it's the only way they can "sell out" some shows and still look as though they are a viable touring band.

LOL!!!!! So does this mean that everyone will be able to purchase all kiss merchandise, including those odd mr potato head dolls at a discount price at walmart along with their new album? At Halloween, will the aisles be stocked with Gene Simmons masks and platform shoes? The kiddies will be able to buy kiss lunch boxes, Kiss easter baskets, kiss christmas stockings, kiss Thanksgiving centerpieces, Kiss windchimes for summer, kiss wading pools....Wow, could you just imagine the marketing potential for this? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
