July 13 show at Bell Center to be broadcast on TV in Canada? (June 20)

*Kiss Live In Your Living Room. According to a 7 Jours' article, Kiss' show at Bell Center in Montreal, CA will be broadcasted live on TV. Here's what the article says in French:

The rumor is spreading and is gradually strengthening that on July 13, Kiss fans might see the legendary hard-rock band's show, live in their living room.

Nothing is yet confirmed. Or hardly ... One thing is certain, all indications are that Kiss fans won't all have to take a bath crowd to witness the legendary band's show. Some, even many, will see it live from their living room.

Contacted by phone, Pierre Marchand, Head of Archambault and Distribution Sélect Group, has not denied the rumor. Instead: "Negotiations for a partnership with the Gillett Entertainment Group to broadcast the show live on the specialized channels are indeed underway. This is the best option for the fans. In the convenience of their homes, they wouldn't have to dive into the crowd, nor turn themselves to the giant screens to see their favorite band in close-up."

The Bell Center in your living room?

Obviously, Bell Center's takeover by Quebecor would simplify things, he says. Until then, if the negotiations with the Gillett Entertainment Group are going well, the Kiss concert may not be the only one to be broadcasted on TV. He adds: "It would be part of a series of shows this partnership would allow us to distribute straightaway."

TOMMY TALKS ABOUT NEW ALBUM (Whole transcription from Guitarra Total interview thanks to KISSArmySpain)

The band is working on a song called "Rotten to the core" but it is not the old one. We are writing all new songs and there are no outsider writers. All is new. All four of us are involved. We are all really motivated and it will be the best KISS album in a long time.
Psycho Circus was an album without a clear direction and vision. There’re songs on it…you start listening to and you go “what the hell is this??” It will be not the case this time.
We are currently writing songs while staying in the hotel [during the South American Alive35 leg], Gene, Paul and myself sit down with the guitars in the hotel room and write down new tunes for the album. Yes I’m going to sing on a new tune on the album and it is not titled “Shock Me”!!
It's a great tune, there is something that people missed, and that I am a good singer, I am a good vocalist. I have much experience, but I've never been a solo singer. My voice works well on that and I think people will be surprised. For what concern new possible costumes for the fall tour a decision will be taken soon, I like so much the costumes from the Rock and Roll Over era, we will see.

FIRST OFFICIAL US KISS CONVENTION

KISS began the North American leg of the first Official Worldwide KISS Convention Tour on June 17th, 1995 in Burbank, California.

Both Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick also performed clinics at the events.
