Show Notes
So much happened to KISS between the years 1979 and 1981. Dynasty in 79, Unmasked in 80 and Music from the Elder and Killers in 81. Then there is lineup changes. Peter Criss is out Eric Carr is in. Ace Frehley is getting ready to leave. You could right a paper on the music changes, and even the way the band looked went through a huge change. This could be the most controversial era for the band. Fans started to think the band left the KISS ARMY behind. Let's look at this era and talk about the music the look and the attitude of the era.

We always hear about AC/DC and their sound and how it really has not changed much over the years. With that being said should KISS have just pulled an AC/DC and stayed straight ahead rock and roll and never taken a chance with "style change"?
Do you think LICK IT UP would have been just as successful if KISS had left the makeup on?
This week we have a guest host as well as A TON TO TALK ABOUT!
I have been racking my brain with how to describe what we talked about in this interview. How about.. The New Lineup, the classic lineup, Duct taping fans to the Marshall amps, fans vomiting on stage, sex acts on stage, playing with a monkey, trying out for KISS, what it was like in the loft where KISS rehearsed, meeting Dee, why the New York Dolls Suck, Led Zeppelin, Bowie and a ton more! Just sayin he was so much fun and high energy to listen to and I had to take a nap after. We hope you enjoy!
