A.I. Sees Classic KISS albums in a new way

You can now simply talk to computers and ask them to show you anything you want. Of course the first thing that comes to mind would be what the bigger picture of the tightly cropped classic KISS album covers look like – here is what Adobe’s A.I. Generative Fill sees, or imagines…

KISS Alive! from 1975 never looked better with the added crowd, lighting rig and expanded stage.

 

 

 

The apocalyptic desolation of the Destroyer album cover looks like it could go on for miles and miles.

 

 

 

Who knew there was an extended palace and mountains in the background of this iconic image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It always irked us that the faces of Ace and Paul were cut off considerably on this album cover, but A.I. can see that along with the hidden night time land scape beyond.

 

 

 

 

We were hoping the Revenge metal panel would expand into a cool battleship or something, but it seems like it’s just a wall that will go on and on forever.

KISS Biopic Chronicling Band’s Early Years Coming to Netflix in 2024

Billboard

KISS may be winding down their touring years, but that doesn’t mean you’ve seen the last of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Not by a long-shot. The long-running greasepaint rockers will revisit their early years in an upcoming biopic slated to hit Netflix in 2024 according to longtime manager Doc McGhee.

McGhee discussed the project recently on The Rock Experience With Mike Brunnshow, revealing, “It’s a biopic about the first four years of KISS. We’re just starting it now. We’ve already sold it, it’s already done, we have a director, McG. That’s moving along and that’ll come in ’24.” It appeared that McGhee was referring to Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle director and veteran music video helmer McG, who most recently worked with Jennifer Garner on the Netflix body swap comedy Family Leave; at press time a spokesperson for McG had not returned Billboard‘s request for confirmation on his role in the film.

Singer and co-founder Paul Stanley had earlier let the cat out of the bag in April 2021, when he tweeted out a link to a Deadline story with early details on the project. That story revealed that the Bohemian Rhapsody-style biopic, Shout It Out Loud, was slated to be directed by Joachim Rønning, whose credits include Kon-Tikiand Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and written by Ole Sanders. At press time no information was available on casting for the film or the current directing/writing team.
