Theatrical heavy rock band Kiss, best-known for their outlandish face paint 
and stage antics, are taking music merchandising one step further - to the 
grave. 
A Kiss coffin, which can also double up as a refrigerator to chill beer 
while the owner is waiting to die, has been unveiled by lead singer Gene 
Simmons. 
The band, who were once named most popular band in America with fan club 
membership numbering hundreds of thousands, plan to make dying a little 
easier for die-hard fans by selling the coffin, which will retail for 
$4,000 (Ł2,850). 
Its cover will show the four Kiss members in full stage make-up, the band's 
logo and a crowd shot from one of the band's concerts. 
Simmons, 51, launched the latest in their increasingly bizarre branding 
ventures at New York's Licensing 2001 conference. 
They were pioneers of marketing tie-ins when, in the 1970s, they launched 
comic books, pinball machines, make-up and masks, board games and a TV 
movie. 
Kiss merchandise now stretches to  wine, bubblegum and mobile phones. 
Simmons was using the coffin as a cooler for soft drinks and beer at the 
conference. 
"We figured, why not use it while you're alive?" he told Variety magazine. 
Religious icons
"For a guy that's home watching the game in his living room, he could just 
reach over and grab a cold one." 
 
Simmons estimates the band's merchandising worth at more than $500m 
(Ł356m). 
The group shot to worldwide fame in the late 70s with the Destroyer album 
and US top 10 single Beth. 
Single Crazy Crazy nights reached the UK top five in the late eighties, 
while God Gave Rock and Roll to You II did the same in 1992. 
The band played a farewell tour last year.

CMQ se devo dire la mia... E' BELLISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solo i Kiss potevano uscirsene con un gadget così esageratamente di PESSIMO 
GUSTO!!! E' così esageratamente Kiss-esca come idea che travalica il limite 
della genialità!
Non mi ci farei seppellire neanche morto, ma rischio lo stesso di morirci 
per le risate :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
