GENE SIMMONS: Forthcoming DVD Update
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has posted the following message on the band's official web site:
"Yesterday, Star magazine came by to do a story and layout of my home and how I do business. Story will appear in an issue or two.
"Then, went down to the edit bay where 'Speaking In Tongues' DVD (my forthcoming project that entails the three or four public speaking/lectures I gave in Australia about a year and a half ago) [is being edited]. It will feature some of my wacky notions about life as we know it, as well as some great fan shots/questions and of course, beautiful girls.
"Today, the film crew came over to my home to do my own version of 'Cribs', so we can include the footage in the DVD without having a discussion with VH1 or anyone else.
"Also, as a side bar, you should know that 'Speaking In Tongues' will also be featuring snippets of some never-before-heard songs I've had in my vaults.
Those songs and more will appear next year in my forthcoming 'Gene Simmons Boxset 100' (as in 100 songs)...
"Adam Rifkin, who directed/wrote 'Mousehunt', 'Toy Soldiers', 'Detroit Rock City' came by to pitch Sanctuary Pictures (that's the name of our new motion picture company, comprising of myself, Rich Abramson and Allan Brown) his new project, which has Snoop Dog attached to star. More on this soon."
