On June 10, rock icons KISS will release the next installment of their popular “Off The Soundboard” official live bootleg series with “Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996”, recorded during the Monsters Of Rock festival at Donington Park in England on August 17, 1996.

“Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996” was recorded during the final year of the original run of the renowned annual music festival held at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England, and the 17-song set features powerhouse performances of classic KISS concert staples such as “Do You Love Me”, “Shout It Out Loud”, “God Of Thunder” and the title song from their 1976 multi-platinum Top Five album “Love Gun”. KISS closed the festival on this date, which was also part of the highly anticipated “Alive/Worldwide” reunion tour featuring Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, making “Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996” a stunning sonic souvenir of this moment in KISStory.

SALIVA Is Back With New Single 'Revelation Man'
SALIVA has released a new single, “Revelation Man”. The band’s first new track in four years, is very personal to singer Bobby Amaru, who states: “‘Revelation Man’ is about a guy who couldn’t accept the struggles of his own addictions. He had to hit rock bottom to see the light. When I say ‘had to die to find a revelation,’ I don’t mean dying literally but there were moments in my life where I felt like I had. It particularly relates with me because of my sobriety of three and a half years. I went through a lot of things before I got sober.”
SALIVA will continue to release new songs and ultimately a full album in 2022. The new music has a contemporary feel but sticks to the blue-collar roots that their fans love.
As previously reported, SALIVA will reunite with its original singer Josey Scott for a one-off appearance at this year’s Blue Ridge Rock Festival, set to take place September 8-11 at the Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia.
Scott left SALIVA at the end of 2011 after 15 years with the group, reportedly to pursue a solo Christian music career. He was quickly replaced by Amaru, who can be heard on SALIVA’s last four releases: “In It To Win It” (2013), “Rise Up” (2014), “Love, Lies & Therapy” (2016) and “10 Lives” (2018).
SALIVA released six albums with Scott and tasted platinum success and a Grammy nomination for its first big hit, “Your Disease”.
Last May, SALIVA celebrated the 20th anniversary of its breakthrough major label debut, “Every Six Seconds”, with a special project called “Every Twenty Years”, an EP of classic songs re-recorded with Amaru.

Former MARILYN MANSON and current ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5 has weighed in on “The Slap,” saying actor Will Smith’s actions on the Oscars stage were “uncalled for.”
Smith stormed onstage during this year’s live Oscars broadcast and smacked Chris Rock across the face before returning to his front-row seat and yelling a profanity-filled threat at the comedian.
The confrontation took place after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, calling Jade Pinkett Smith “G.I. Jane” in reference to her bald head, which she has previously explained is due to the medical condition alopecia.
John 5 commented on the incident in a new interview with Sofa King Cool Magazine. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think what happened… Everybody was so shocked. They were, like, ‘What’s going on? What’s going on?’ People didn’t even think it was real. Everybody thought it was a bit. But after the smoke cleared and everyone was, like, ‘Woah. This is real,’ I thought exactly what Will Smith put up on his Instagram. It was uncalled for and it was unnecessary. I mean, he could have yelled from the crowd. That would have been fine. But I think it was just… it was uncalled for; it was not done in the right way. If he would have just said something from the crowd, I think that would have been enough. It escalated so fast. We’ve all watched the video a zillion times, but it all escalated so fast. No one even knew what was going on, including him. He just freaked out. [With what he posted on] his Instagram, he feels horrible. I think if he would have yelled something from the crowd, that would have been enough.”
Smith first apologized about the incident at the Oscars, expressing his sorrow to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and his fellow nominees in a tear-filled speech while accepting his “Best Actor” trophy. A day later, he went further in an Instagram post, saying that “violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive” and calling his behavior at the Academy Awards “unacceptable and inexcusable.”
The Academy has condemned Smith’s actions and started a formal review around the incident. On Wednesday, the organization behind the Oscars revealed that Smith was asked to leave the ceremony following the slap. “Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” the Academy’s statement read in part. “While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”
Rock has reportedly declined to press any charges against Smith.
