Another phone call about KISS between brothers as we share our opinions & conjecture on the never ending war of words in the 'family' as we accelerate towards the "End Of The Road". Caught up in the considerable confusion, chop, characteristic subterfuge and ever-shifting tides, we seek clarity, solid ballast and smooth sailing for the final voyage & beyond! - KISSTORIAN.COM http://www.kisstorian.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kisstorian/support
Some wine cannot be tasted before it's time, but KISS is always in harvest: Last to the party, Midwestern musician, songwriter & ROCKstorian ED STEVENSON is our latest victim. Another reluctant KISStorian, Ed is called upon abruptly to sound off on KISStory in what can only be described as a fruitful and telling ambush. A skeptic from the start, Ed graciously agrees to takes us back to '75 and his first knowledge of KISS via the then unescapable FM hit "Rock & Roll All Nite". Preoccupied with 'heavier music' at the time, and still today, Ed comes clean about the genesis of the rock records that got he and his siblings attention back in the day, spewing the Gospels of Moby Grape, Bowie, Ian Hunter & Deep Purple. One senses Ed may have bitten his tongue here 'n there for the sake of levity but we welcome him to the KISS Army just the same! You're gonna like the way you look, we guarantee it! -- KISStorian.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kisstorian/support

A late nite 'needle drop' on , KISS's warmest and perhaps most faithful (and on-brand) studio offering, Eddie Kramer's diamond in the rough! A producer's job is to get the best out of a given band, and their material, at a given place in time, relevant to the market .and Kramer's delivered in spades. In fact, Kramer's sonic experiment on RRO captured KISS's raw live sound & vibe on a 'studio' release better than any album in their careers.

Phone calls about KISS? We set the bar (highfalutin) and this episode is no exception as the mysterious '' finally agrees to share, for the first time anywhere, his ground-breaking KISStoric theological breakdowns of KISS lyrics, come hell or high water! From Simmon's "Seduction Of The Innocents", "Thou Shalt Not" and the semi-Biblical "On The 8th Day" to the Paul Stanley LIU vision statement that is "Exciter", X masterfully breaks down the potentially deeper, more central meaning of KISS's lyrics from an entirely different yet profoundly relevant KISStoric perspective here-to-for unexplored in the annals of rock! - //www.kisstorian.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kisstorian/support

Albeit from afar, an honest take and perhaps unnecessarily angry rant, and harsh calling out of the Space Man and his management after seeing clips from . Kudos to the organizers for pulling it off but, man, did we get a treat. The kind of treat I'd prefer my friends / long-time KISS detractors never get a hold of, or they'd be dead on the mark when they opined yet again "I still think they suck!". As Jagger said, what a drag it is getting old. The earmark of poor management? the pure class of Bruce Kulick? the Vincent Cusano imposter?

Set phasers for a KISStoric 'inside job' as we time travel with luminary KISStorian, PETER ARQUETTE OF KISSASYLUM.COM http://www.kissasylum.com/ and KISSMUSEUM.COM http://kissmuseum.com/. Few men have swum so far in KISS //www.kissonline.com waters without without being forced at some point to "take heed" of our Gods of Thunder, Stanley/Simmons, in some capacity. And yet Peter has lived a life fully-immersed in KISS since 1987 as a curator of content and a beloved conduit for fans, all without ever even dipping a single toe into Facebook et al.! Yes, a KISS Bigfoot with no social media footprint (no small feat). Peter takes us back to his 'Trail By Fire', his first KISS concert at the CAPITAL CENTER IN 1977 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSeQQ9K25DE, a life-changing moment that would ultimately land him a seat with the Elders and Morpheus, laughing 'all the way' to Jendell & back. Discussions range from chopsticks with Paul Stanley, the 'Return of KISS' in '79, KISS AT HAMMERJACKS https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kiss/1992/hammerjacks-baltimore-md-33d368ed.html, hanging in Europe with the original Catman, his appearances on http://www.threesidesofthecoin.com/, 'Crazy Nights' with Eric Carr, Peter's rich KISS CONVENTION https://threesidesofthecoin.com/ep-200-three-sides-of-the-coin-live-at-the-nj-kiss-expo/ history, 'Cadillac Dreams' and a number of keen observations about the band at "The End Of The WORLD" (tour). Only just scraping the outer surface of a planet worth of KISStory, Arquette stops short of admitting he has the Talisman box. - KISSTORIAN.COM http://kisstorian.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kisstorian/support

"Hot In The Shade" was a return to 'classic KISS'. By and large its a collection of fun rockers that takes itself a little less seriously, and lies in stark contrast, to their prior release, the 80's-glossed "Crazy Nights". Soon it would all be a mute point as the onset of grunge would send KISS on a fools errand resulting in gloriously heavy but ill-conceived "Carnival of Souls". Indeed, HITS finds KISS on a low budget, trimming sails, vamping up demos and polishing the ballad "Forever" enough to ensure an MTV hit video and a summer tour of the sheds as the band re-positioned themselves as 70's rockers still cool enough to matter at the end of the 80's, no small feat! - //www.kisstorian.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kisstorian/support
