September 27 : Upcoming Jesse Damon's Anthology album will feature 2 songs Jesse Damon wrote with Gene Simmons
From : Steve Brownlee / Jesse Damon / Kiss Related Recordings
JESSE DAMON - Anthology (2024)Jesse Damon, the iconic vocalist and guitarist of AOR rockers SILENT RAGE, is thrilled to announce the release of his highly anticipated compilation, “Anthology.” This strictly limited edition CD-only release features 12 of the best tracks from Jesse's various solo albums plus 2 previously unreleased studio tracks and a special live bonus track of Jesse performing the song “Thou Shalt Not,” a song he co-wrote with Gene Simmons and that appears on the KISS album "Revenge.” The live track was produced by the legendary Bill Metoyer (Slayer / W.A.S.P. / Sacred Reich).

Limited Edition Package Details:
• Hand-signed and individually numbered
• Limited to 100 copies
• Includes an exclusive logo guitar pick

The jewel cased CD will be released by On Fire Records and will be available exclusively at
jessedamonmusic.com. Preorders for “Anthology” will begin on September 30, 2024. The numbered CDs will be shipped in numerical order and are estimated to ship in early November 2024."

“Anthology” is a must-have for fans of Jesse Damon and Silent Rage. With his powerful vocals, catchy melodies and guitar-driven energy, this album demonstrates Damon's incredible talent and versatility and shows why he is highly respected in the classic rock, hard rock, and melodic metal community. “Anthology” showcases Jesse's commitment to excellence.

Jesse Damon's musical journey began in the late 70s and early 80s, inspired by the greats of the classic/hard rock scene. He gained recognition in the mid-80s as the lead singer and guitarist of the band
SILENT RAGE, who achieved success with their albums "Shattered Hearts" and "Don't Touch Me There". Damon's collaboration with Gene Simmons led to the hit song "Thou Shalt Not" on the KISS album "Revenge."

All of Jesse's solo albums have just been added to his website so fans can get downloads directly from the artist and surpass the middle man.
Also a new comprehensive Silent Rage page has been added to his official website.
It includes a complete biography, discography, film credits and lots of rare photos.
Most recently, the Silent Rage track “Rich, Young and Pretty” appeared on the soundtrack to the late 2023 film “Head Count.”
The song originally appeared on their 1987 debut album, “Shattered Hearts.”

September 4: BRYAN ADAMS explains how he ended up writing songs for KISS's 'Creatures Of The Night' album
From : Eddie Trunk / blabbermouth.net
During a September 3 appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", legendary Canadian rocker Bryan Adams spoke about the two songs he co-wrote in the 1980s with Jim Vallance and KISS's Gene Simmons. He said: "I was 21, and I released my album called 'You Want It, You Got It'. And I got a call from a guy called Michael James Jackson, who was a producer at the time, and he called me to say, 'Hey, I really like your record. And I'm actually working with this band KISS. Would you like to write a couple of songs with them or for them?' And I said, 'Yeah. What? Is this for real?' And he said, 'Yeah.' And so they flew me to Los Angeles and I met Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and Eric Carr, who was the drummer at the time. I sort of sat down with each one of 'em individually and wrote songs with each one. I wrote a song with Paul Stanley ("Down on Your Knees" - KRR) and I wrote a song with Eric Carr ("Don't Leave Me Lonely" - KRR).
BRYAN ADAMS double A-side7" singleAnd with Gene I didn't write anything, but Gene had a really good bassline that I sort of recorded on my cassette recorder. And I took it back to Vancouver, and I was telling my usual songwriting collaborator, Jim Vallance, that I'd done this thing, and 'Check out this bassline of Gene's.' And we listened to it, and within an hour or so, we'd written this song called 'War Machine' around it. So that's how 'War Machine' came about. And then just to drag Jim into it further, he had a song that he wrote by himself called 'Rock And Roll Hell' (KRR: which song had been released a few years earlier (in 1979) with Bachman Turner Overdrive). I said, 'We should retool that song' — 'cause it didn't do anything — 'we should retool it for KISS.' And he said, 'Okay, let's give it a go.' So I came up with a verse idea and then the two of us sort of came up with a lyric idea and we finished the song and sent it down there. And that became the second KISS song. Gene wanted a third verse, so he wrote a third verse for it."

Last month, Bryan Adams released music videos for his versions of "
War Machine" and "Rock and Roll Hell", both of originally appeared on KISS's 1982 album "Creatures Of The Night".

Bryan Adams released "War Machine" and "Rock And Roll Hell" as a limited-edition double A-side seven-inch single on August 30 via his new independent label,
Bad Records.

The 7" vinyl single is available for pre-order now ahead of its release on August 30th via
platoon.lnk.to/rock-and-roll-hell.
