Well, KISS Army, here we are again! It’s time for the next installment of YOUR PodKISSt. Why is it YOUR PodKISSt? Simple: you’re the KISS Army! You did what the KISS Army has always done, you asked for KISS, KISS, and more KISS, so here you go. A full hour of KISS-related information, commentary, and (most of all) MUSIC, and best of all, it’s listener-driven. The responses we received to the 1st installment were varied and many, and we’ve tried to meet as many requests as we possibly can.
Keep in mind that this is only the beginning, so here’s what we’ve got in this episode:
- In our “Hooked on Rock and Roll” segment, we take a trip back in time to explore some of the music that served as an influence to KISS’ early songwriting. You may be surprised by how strongly late-60’s fuzz-guitar/psychedelic/garage punk influenced the thunderock of classic KISS, and who knows? Maybe you’ll add another band to your list of favorites!
- Next, we take a trip down to “Abner’s Laboratory,” where we witness the weird science that gives rise to the music of KISS. Some experiments yield rockin’ results, while others have never seen the light of day, until now! Put on your lab coat, and beware of the phantom!
- A frustrating financial fiasco that the fans WON’T blame on Gene? That’s right, we’re talking about The Great A&E Debacle of ‘07!
- You wanted ‘em, and you got ‘em! We’re giving you a bevy of live KISS rarities! You won’t find these songs on any album that has the word “Alive” on the cover, but you’ll find ‘em here!
- We dive into our big bag ‘o mail to find out “What’s On Your Mind!”

Podcast #1 barely hinted at how great #2 would be—wow! This really struck the right tone by hitting a bunch of topics and playing so many rare cuts in an entire hour, which is a perfect length. One small thing I liked was the discussion of Eric singing Y&W(and I agree that it’s not his best moment—it’s less about singing and more about screaming as loudly and quickly as possible!). With effort, I can track down these tracks on my own, but hearing commentary about it from another fan is what makes this podcast so great. Good luck with Bruce, and #3 can’t come soon enough.
