More On Ace Signature Guitars
Looks like there will be more models of the Ace Frehley Signature guitar!
Ace's Signature guitar will be the only triple-pickup sunburst that Gibson will make.
They are going to come out with three separate models - a high-end custom shop model,
a mid-priced model made at the regular Gibson plant and an Epiphone model for young kids
who can't afford an expensive guitar.
There will be an Ace Frehley guitar for everybody!

New Album
Several sources now confirms that Kiss will begin working on the new studio album in October.
McGhee Entertainment stated that the band has started writing new material.
They have been talking to producers (also Eddie Kramer).
"We want it to be best of possible Kiss records.That's why it can take the time it needs.
We leave nothing out. " - Gene.
"I think it's important that we stick to what we do best,hard rock'n'roll. No sound and style
experiment like on "The Elder" - our least successful record." - Ace.
The record will be released in the beginning of next year and will probably be followed
by a new world-tour.

What about COS?
Some of you might wonder what happens to "Carnival of Souls" - the unreleased record
Kiss recorded in 1995 with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer.
"We don't know. Maybe we'll put it on the big Kiss-box we're planning for next year." - Gene.
