@@bobtillman5769 uh yeah I do. It is published. Ace and Peter sold off their rights. They get NOTHING from the music and this deal. Peter sold his makeup persona, Ace licensed his "Spaceman" so he will see some money. Kiss corp has all these details published to universal, and pop just bought the artist share which is Gene and Paul's part.
Its a great thing. Sweden Welcome this! Hoping to visit the Pop House-museum and join Kiss exactly close to Gröna Lund- where KISS was performing in the 70th! But Kiss Army Sweden also hope that credits goes to Ace and Peter as well!
David, they didnt sell the back catalog. Universal owns it. In fact back in 89 the publishing rights were sold . The intelectual property is the crux of this deal, logo, likeness
Good for them...this is theirs to sell, they put in the work and paid their dues. and I suspect Ace and Peter will be very happy, Beth would certainly be included as would all of ACE's songs
That would be a silly decision indeed, I'd guestimate $500,000 a year is earned in revenue from KISS' publishing/music, thats great profit to lose at spending at a dime matey :-)
April 4, 2024, the hard rock band Kiss announced that they sold their music catalog, brand name, and intellectual property (IP) to Pophouse Entertainment Group, a music investment firm based in Stockholm, Sweden, for an estimated $300 million. THE DEAL INCLUDES THE BAND ENTIRE BACK CATALOG BBC news
Some are saying they didnt sell their actual full catalog,but from what I read online they certainly did. plus theres no way someone would pay 300 million on the way to a billion and not get the whole catalog. theres just no way. people are talking about universal owning their stuff but from what I read thats not actually true,....Many seem to be conflating the sale of the publishing rights to HoriPro with the eventual acquisition of the record label by Universal. KISS has never sold anything to Universal. Universal is simply the successor in interest to the record labels KISS recorded for over the years and now owns the distribution rights to the recorded works, not including Sonic Boom, which the band independently released on KISS Records. Not sure how Sanctuary is involved here for Symphony Alive IV, but that album is now distributed by Universal, as well.
How much money do you need? Gene Simmons net worth was already 400 million, Simmons is 74 years old, what is he going to do when he dies? Have the money buried with him?
None of you people commenting know the details of the entire thing. I see so many people bullshiting and making things up to make themselves look like they more than everyone else. Just stop it
Shows you cannot trust the accuracy of media. The deal does NOT include their back catalog. (Only includes Sonic Book and Monster...that's it). Universal still owns the catalog, always has.....
@@TonyFromSyracuse101 umm...you can think that all you'd like but you are wrong. KiSS sold their catalog to Universal years ago. They own it, Kiss only owns everything from Sonic Boom onward...sorry, its a fact.
He says "the people that say the love of money is the root of all evil are wrong" Well Gene you are wrong, because one man said it and he did not say that, he said the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Know your facts wise guy. And be happy man because an extra few million will not make a difference at all in your life. How can one person be so unwise.
It's not much for the two who owned KISS. After taxes it's gotta be less than 100 million for each. Money talks. I guess it's saying what I have all along...KISS blows.
Gene Simmons can be a clown sometimes, and sometimes he can be annoying how selfish he comes across, but he can be quite brilliant sometimes too. Obviously he must be a smart guy to be as rich as he is.
william, he is not brilliant as you think. His quote saying money is the root of all evil, that is wrong. The quotes is the love of money is the root of all evil
B.S. not for the fans - has NOT BEEN FOR THE FANS IN many years - greed - money hungry - NOTICE no mention of Peter, Ace, Bruce, Vincent, Mark - GREED - but i dont know what there agreement is - do you ? anyone ?
Here is a question: With regard to the catalog. Do Ace and Peter get any money because of the songs they wrote while they were in KISS?
That ship sailed when they sold out just to come back to the band. Sad really.
Good question.

@@humphreybogart6663 Yep. I should have done some research before I opened my yap! Haha!!
@@bobtillman5769 weird how my comment was deleted. So random!
Hopefully Ace & Peter get a fair slice of the massive sale price. Considering Ace shops at WalMart he may need the cash
Umm no...they dont...why would they?
Walmart pays Ace
@@RonTimmonsM1 nope
HEY where should he buy bread and milk?
they won't get nothing
Now KISS will reign forever. 🤘
ITS THE LOVE OF MONEY THATS EVIL..NOT MONEY ITSELF...,‼️
Good for them. They worked hard their entire lives for it.
Thanks for your hard Work gene
Do these sales included unreleased recordings in the vaults? Why is everyone selling if so much money can be made off of their catalogues?
You really are business ignorant arent you?

The very saying is actually from the Bible and it states: THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL - NOT MONEY ITSELF. Go read the Bible Gene..!
Yea telling a man who calls himself the demon to read the bible… i think he made his choice loooong looong ago where he will be spending eternity

4 months after after the last concert. 😂
The offer was there. When the train passes, you hop on

True! Kiss only owned some unreleased video, live recordings and demo's were Universal was after. I think they sold it now.
But that doesnt make sense given the amount paid, 300 million. where did you read what you posted?
@@TonyFromSyracuse101 dont need to read it....its well known fact. Yes, it does make absolute sense!
@@arthurhall8238 theres no way…. A company paid 300 million and didnt get the whole catalog. No way.

You have with Paul so a great band the greatest band of the world
anne, not even close to the best band in the world. A good band but they are more a bunch of entertainers than anything
will be seeing bi macs and cheveys ,,etc and more selling with kiss music..
300 mill isnt that much really between 5 or 6 ppl thats like 50 or 60 mill per person
Two guys only...

@@e.l.norton Sticking around 50 years, selling millions of records, not bad for a band that blows.
@@JohnLesniewski-np7jg Nobody ever went broke underestimating the public. They're not a bright bunch.
@JohnLesniewski-np7jg you blow your Dad
They are getting quite old and I'm betting they are doing it to retire and keep their children and grand kids in aa good financial position

I don't remember Gene using my control room to do a interview....🤔🤔🤔🤔
With the left-turn to an AI based future KISS band, this is really old news in KISS fandom. The writing was on the wall since Dec. 2/23.
Will any of that $300 million! be going to the betterment of our world in these current times? After how many years of show biz?
Why would it? They wrote it they earned it. They don’t owe anyone a cent of their brand.
No way. They are to selfish to do that. Plus Paul just torn down his Beverly Hills house and is rebuilding a new one.
@@JM-5150 No? Thought as much
Are Ace and Peter getting any of the money?????
Anything for money 💰 with this guy lol
Gene Simmons is a greedy liar
a thicklip othello detected
KISS is an embarrassment. What’s next cars for kids commercials. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
$400 MIL.
wATCH IT BE JUST LIKE GUITAR HERO KURT COBAIN
The makeup is everything…they can run with it.
Only 300 million. Not smart!
LOL. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
It's over😮 Complete waste of money and time.
Why not.. they sold their souls to the devil...💰..😈..🔥..🤫..✌🏽

Not BACK catalogue...do research
Kiss, Who ????? were these guys playing at, Chucky Cheese ?
If Peter and Ace get what they deserve Simmons will cry. They should fight tooth and nail to get what they deserve
Ace and Peter sold their rights away years ago. They will get very little, if anything at all.
Are you ready to give it up yet then G.S.
KISS
300 million for that bit of garbage that they say they wrote unbelievable what a joke I wouldn’t give them 300 pennies for their music
So you don't like Kiss...
Gene’s ignorance is on display. It’s not the lack of money that’s the root of all evil, it’s the love of money that’s the root of all evil.
Wtf happened to his wig?
We're all so tired of Gene and his greed, he's no longer a musician.
