There is all kinds of unseen footage for an “Elder” Box Set
Here’s why I would do an “Elder” Box Set. The same old stuff has been out there on YouTube for years, but there are more things out there that the band doesn’t have. Most fans have seen KISS perform “The Oath”, “World Without Heroes”, and “I” from the TV Show “Friday’s”. That afternoon of the “Friday’s” performance was also filmed. During that footage, Paul is teaching Ace the guitar solo to “The Oath”. It’s a train wreck! It’s crazy because Paul has to keep stopping and showing him parts. That has never been released. The soundcheck itself is unbelievable. Some recent recordings have also surfaced from Ace in the hole studios. These are fantastic and its only Ace, Gene, Eric Carr, and Bob Ezrin. You can hear them talking between stuff. This recording has never seen the light of day. I think fans would pay through the nose to see and hear this stuff!
Gene Simmons confirmed that KISS almost had a cartoon in 1979
The story is that Hanna Barberra had the thing ready to go, but Bill Aucoin put the brakes on it. He didn’t wan’t the band to get overexposed in 1979. Gene Simmons told me there is concept art of it. They were going to do it on NBC and they were in the “Dynasty” costumes. Gene said he owned all the original artwork that was done.
