Podkisst/the Kiss Room!

When you think of KISS, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is a big oak table in a dimly-lit room, right? Isn’t it? OK, not so much. But for many members of the KISS Army, the subdued imagery of 1981 represents a departure from the classic KISS recipe in which there are as […]

Our “Elder” roundtable continues with more rockin’ rarities for the KISS Army! Who steers the ship through the stormy sea? PodKISSt does!

Insightful KISScussions? Rare and classic KISS cuts? Of course. You’d expect nothing less from us. But how about an exclusive interview with Carrie Stevens (superstar Playboy model, actress, and erstwhile paramour of the late great Eric Carr)? Or maybe a backstage chat with rock group The Envy (openers for KISS on the 2010 Hottest Show […]

We here at PodKISSt wanted to kick off 2011 with a bang, and what could be more thunderous than the drums of the late great Eric Carr? We knew it would be impossible to cram into one show all of the love and excitement we feel about the Fox, so rest assured we plan to […]

Here’s part 2 of our 2011 Eric Carr special, featuring our exclusive PodKISSt interview with Loretta Caravello!

On this edition of PodKISSt, we continue our retrospective series on the “Alive” albums. We’re joined once again by writer extraordinaire Joe Casey (of Dark Horse’s “KISS” comic fame, and co-creator of “Ben 10” and “Generator Rex”). Joe and the PodKISSt crew look back at “Alive III,” “Alive IV,” and the “Millennium Concert” disc. Loaded […]

Without Bill Aucoin, there would be no KISS. It almost goes without saying, and yet it can’t be said enough. As we mourn his passing, we look back at the remarkable life and career of the man who brought KISS out of the Diplomat Hotel and turned them into the Hottest Band in the World. […]

We continue our tribute to Bill Aucoin with more listener feedback, more rare audio, and an in-depth interview with the man who founded the KISS Army, Bill Starkey.

In this installment of PodKISSt we continue our in-depth look at KISS’ “Alive” legacy by going back to 1977 and the release of “Alive II.” This mammoth record was emblematic of all that was right… and wrong… within the KISS camp at the height of their rise to superstardom. In the PodKISSt tradition, we bring […]

Thirty-five years ago, KISS changed the world of rock music with something they called “Alive!” More than just a live album, this was “theater of the mind” as only KISS could do it. They found a way to create a concert in your head, with bombastic explosions and deafening cheers the likes of which would […]
