You'd think a band as big as Kiss might be able to agree on what a new project will entail before they start announcing it, wouldn't you? Or maybe all the confusion over what their new reality TV show aims to do is a cunning ruse to get lots of press coverage. Well, anyway, there seems to be some dispute over whether this TV show is designed to expand the band's current line-up or replace it.
As we reported on Monday, Kiss' manager Don McPhee thinks the latter, saying in a TV documentary on the band: "I believe that Kiss can go on forever. I believe that there is a way - and we are talking to people and we're pretty close to getting it done - about finding the four new members of Kiss".
However, frontman Paul Stanley says he's not going anywhere. In a statement posted on the official Kiss website, he said: "A Kiss clone reality show? First of all, contrary to what was said by anyone, there is no signed deal. Secondly, if we were to do a 'Kiss II', and I don't rule that out, it would be in addition to, and never in place of, Kiss. We are in the middle of our biggest and most successful tour of Europe ever, playing to over a half million people, and neither Kiss or I have any plans to stop afterwards!"
