It may start out like that, but if it evolves into something else you haven’t lost anything. If you want a family, go have one, as a band isn’t a family. We have a great relationship, and the key is knowing its limitations. Do you guys still hang out together off-stage?Ī: “Well, Gene Simmons lives five minutes away - I can see his ego from here (laughs). Q: So many bands implode after they make it big. That’s what I grew up with, and it inspired me to create passion, chaos, something sexually aggressive that’d celebrate life. It’s a great album of its genre with all the elements of all the classic bands that I listened to - all the music that inspired me - The Who, the Stones, Humble Pie, (Eric) Clapton, (Jimi) Hendrix, Led Zeppelin. I was asked if it’s a great Kiss album and I said, forget about Kiss - I truly believe it’s far beyond being a Kiss album. Its heart is beating, and it’s chained down until we release it in October. Q: What about the new album which you also produced? What can fans expect from that?Ī: “‘Monster’ is done. There’s no ego clashes, and this is another way to give fans more than just a concert - it’s an event.” We always figured, let a band go out and do the greatest show they can, and that’ll only amp us up to do what we do that much better. Motley’s co-headlining, and one thing we didn’t want to do was the kind of sabotage between bands that happens. How much of it’s true I don’t know, but we have to live up to that.”Ī: “The apocalypse! It’s a lot more than people usually get in one night. We’re really up against our own reputation and the legend of what KISS is supposed to be, and that grows bigger and bigger. I’m very excited about it but I also know there’s a lot to live up to. Q: After all these years, do you still feel pressure when you hit the road?Ī: “I do. KISS guitarist and singer Paul Stanley recently spoke to Reuters about the tour, the band’s new album “Monster,” and the secret to the group’s longevity. The band, with its painted faces and pyrotechnics, was among the biggest acts of the 1970s, coming out of the glam rock era with hits like “Rock and Roll All Nite” as a predecessor of 1980s the heavy metal groups that included Motley Crue. No tortoise (N = 8) used the same hibernaculum during both years of the study.Paul Stanley, lead vocalist of rock band Kiss, poses for a portrait at his home in Beverly Hills, California May 15, 2012. Hibernacula used by males provided greater thermal buffering than those used by females. Temperatures in hibernacula of females fluctuated over a wider range than temperatures in hibernacula of males. Minimum temperatures of hibernacula of females (x̄ = 4.3 C) were lower than minimum temperatures of hibernacula of males (x̄ = 9.3 C). Maximum temperatures of hibernacula of females (x̄ = 24.5 C) were consistently higher than maximum temperatures of hibernacula of males (x̄ = 18.2 C), but the difference was not significant. Male tortoises used longer hibernacula (x̄ = 118.3 cm) than females (x̄ = 24.4 cm). Burrows were often also associated with live vegetation, dead and downed vegetation, and/or packrat (Neotoma albigula) nests. Hibernacula included burrows in silt, silt with loose gravel, diatomite and/or diatomaceous marl, and beneath layers of well-lithified volcanic ash. Tortoises hibernated primarily on steep south-facing slopes. We quantified aspects of hibernaculum use by desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) in the San Pedro Valley, Arizona.
