KISS Hanging Out With CONDOLEEZZA RICE In Stockholm; Photos Available

June 7, 2008

KISS' official web site has uploaded a couple of photos of the four members of KISS hanging out with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Stockholm late last month before KISS played a sold-out concert in the Swedish capital. Check out the pictures below.

Rice was in Sweden for an international conference on Iraq.

"I was thrilled," Rice said of her late-night encounter with KISS frontman Gene Simmons and bandmates Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer in the executive lounge of the Sheraton Hotel where they signed autographs and handed out backstage passes and T-shirts to her staff.

"It was really fun to meet KISS and Gene Simmons," she told the Associated Press, noting that they seemed well-informed about current events. The band had asked if she could stop by after she finished dinner with the Swedish foreign minister and Rice readily agreed, she said.

Rice, a classically trained pianist, said she has eclectic musical tastes ranging from BEETHOVEN to BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. Hard stadium rockers like KISS are included in the mix and Rice said her favorite tune of theirs is "Rock and Roll All Nite".
