Hmmmm …. Music, trademarks, makeup.
I guess this means KISS really does own Ace’s makeup?

Damn this sounds like a great deal for Gene & Paul, both financially and for the legacy.

Re: It’s official: Pophouse buys KISS!
Is selling the catalogue something different than the publishing?
Because they already sold their publishing up till then to Hori Pro Music in the late 80's.
And I didn't expect them to own what I thought was the catalogue (the masters of the albums?) since that would be owned by whoever ended up buying Phonogram.

I would like to be a fly on the wall in Ace's and Peter's houses now...

They only sold the name and likeness (image) as they don’t own their music? Good deal for Kiss I suppose.

I wonder if Kiss’ avatars will take over the ABBA venue in London once the ABBAtar demand cools off?
I actually wonder a lot of things regarding this… As an old Kiss fan I have no interest in this and I can’t imagine the kids will be excited when it finally premieres in three years. Marvel makes cooler super heroes today and the boogie rock from ”Dressed To Kill” will have a hard time to break through again.

I see KISS dying out completely in about 5-10 years. Pop house is going to regret this decision.
