KISS recently resumed their farewell tour, End Of The Road , which is estimated to end in early 2023. In addition to previously confirming that this time it really is the end , Paul Stanley reiterated that the band has no intention of releasing new music or a final album.
KISS's last album of new material was Monster (2012), and if it's up to Paul Stanley, the count will stop there. "Why would we need a new KISS album?" he questioned during the Kiss Kruise . "Any great classic band has a history of people asking for a new album. If the Rolling Stones released a new album, people would say, 'That's great. Play 'Brown Sugar.' The same thing happens with us. You can have great songs on your latest album and people will ask to hear 'Love Gun.'"
The musician concluded his reasoning by saying that the audience really likes the old songs and that "nobody will embrace new material, no matter how good it is." He attributes this to the emotional connection of the older audience, who created a link with the music of the past.
In March, Paul Stanley had already given the same justification for the absence of new KISS material . At the time, he said that he could even recognize when a band played a new single with the TV muted because "the audience sits down".
