August 2008 News

Check out these great photos from KISS' sold out Pearl Theater show (and soundcheck) last night in Las Vegas. An energetic KISS tore through a 2 hour set that borrowed heavily from their classic Alive! album, and also featured a 6 song encore of hits. Performing in such an intimate venue was a treat for both the band and the 2500 fans who attended the show! If you attended last night show, please send us your reviews to news@kissasylum.com.

Largest PAUL STANLEY Guitar Collection on the Planet

Marc Kancler is a man with a passion. In fact, it is his passion that is driving him, along with twin brother Kris, to not only own the world's largest PAUL STANLEY guitar collection, but to start owning the largest PAUL STANLEY art collection as well. "PAUL STANLEY is one of the 7 greatest wonders of the world," explained Marc. "Here you have a man who knew what he wanted out of life and had the guts and drive to go out and get it - while at the same time never forgetting where he came from." Marc goes on to say, "Paul has accomplished so many things in his life and, unbeknownst to him, one of them was setting the path for my brother, Kris, and I to follow." Kris says that they spoke with Paul recently and told him it's inevitable that they will be working with him. He jokingly adds that he told Paul that he would in fact probably be wearing the shirt Paul had on his back. "Yeah, he got a kick out of that. He said that we could thank him for us being able to own the world's largest PAUL STANLEY collection. I've truly never met a nicer guy."

Marc (aka Rock Star) and his twin brother Kris recently filmed a mocumentary video entitled, Rock Star Exposed. It's a long video but worth watching. According to Marc, they took their favorite parts from KISS' Exposed video and incorporated them into their own. "We wanted the chance to show people how infatuated we are with this man." All kidding aside, Kris says that they really saw this as an opportunity to show fellow members of the KISS army how much they admire this man and his work. Indeed, it's this admiration that led Marc and Kris to begin recording their first CD entitled, Putting the "F" Back in Rock & Roll. Explains Kris, "People are going to flip when they find out who we are working with!" "Yeah, don't think for a second we didn't have KISS in mind when we came up with this concept," says Marc. Besides working on the CD, the twins are putting the finishing touches on a book, a reality show about them is the works, and they have just launched a non-profit venture called, We Are One. "It's an effort to give kids in the community the chance to find themselves musically and to keep them away from the vices that have personally kept me down and out for so many years," says Kris. "We are using Paul's career as a template," says Marc. "Drums or drugs, guitars or gangs? I'd say guitars! After all, I'm Rock Star !
