0:09 (Maddie Fitzpatrick) He literally threw me out of the elevator! Your uncle's gone absolutely insane!

11:07.

We got rich and famous and no longer were all for one and one for all- peter Criss

Alive never saved Casablanca either, it was Disco. What Alive saved was KISS' position with the label.

Hotter than Hell… such a unique sound. I always saw that album as a live album where they played in the sex dungeon photographed. I assumed Japan wanted KISS and they paid for a trip. My mind went nuts as a 6 year old trying to understand Hotter than Hell. I would NEVER touch Hotter than Hell for remastering beyond the 1997 remasters … Coming Home is SUPPOOSED to sound like shit. I’ll probably be commenting again while listening lol thanks guys this feels cathartic.

The more I listen the more I feel like These are the friends I always needed growing up lol.. I had the bohemian upbringing with KISS where they looked so vivacious like the New York Dolls and loud as Mahavishnu Orchestra with a mask of pro wrestling kayfabe. I never could pay much attention to the truth of the numbers. When the truth of personnel on Destroyer, I was never turned back on to KISS…. Going to listen to Wicked Lester now.

I was OBSESSED with KISS when I was 4,5 and 6, I was 7 and they had the reunion, but hindsight tells me KISS, Hotter than Hell, and Dressed to Kill are the only songs to listen to

I appreciate and love the rawness of Hotter Than Hell. There's just something about their first two albums and Alive that are missing from the rest of their work. The only other albums that I still enjoy listening to occasionally are Destroyer (a fan favorite) Music from The Elder (which is loathed by most) and Lick It Up.

Not true Rush all did coke!!!! Up until the mid-80s so you're mistaken. Ready Geddy Lees book, please!!!!

Enjoying yall but wish yall stick with the topic

😂hey guys, I am from Brooklyn, New York City! , And I had 4 older Italian brothers and they had gotten tickets for Kiss playing "Madison square Garden" for the first time and my father said I couldn't go because I was the only girl and the youngest. So no, no, no, all night. Okay! My mom$dad go to sleep and I get ready for the show and we make up my bed like I am sleeping in it and then we head out to Madison Square Garden. We had 3rd row center seats!!! Unbelievable!!!! And I caught the firehouse hat that he drew into the audience!!! Un, un, un, believable;!! It's still hanging up in my parents house in Park Slope Brooklyn, New York City!!!! I wish I would have caught him!!!!!! For real!!!!

09:35 - Why is he holding his guitar backward?

Thank you I love this show and love seeing your podcast!

You left out that Bob Ezrin produced Alice Cooper from the beginning! I think “Dressed to Kill” is their best recording sound-wise of an album, and “Rock and Roll Over” is their best overall album musically. I stopped listening to them sometime in the fall of ‘78. That embarrassing Kiss TV movie then the solo albums did it for me. When toddlers and families are showing up to the shows, it was hard to justify them in the world of hard rock. By ‘79 Kiss had some serious competition and they blew it with those horrible ‘Dynasty’ era costumes and being in high school listening to Kiss during that era was embarrassing…

A good episode I loved watching Friday the 13th the series. Oh and I loved you guys giving a shoutout to The Hitchhiker another one of my favorites!

That opening pic was taken from the hotter that he'll photo shoto August 18, 1974

I've heard that album like 200 times un the last 5 years

How can you forget a name like PODKISST? It use to be the go-to for all the KISS Podcast. Until they kinda peter-d out. But it was basically the first actual KISS podcast. That...and KISSTORY SCIENCE THEATER. Util they Peter Criss-d out too jk

Awesome, guys! Love this! Instant like and sub! Don't forget Eddie VH went to Gene asking to join KISS even at some point early 80's when KISS was having guitarist auditions cuz Eddie was having a hard time in VH.

@1:18:21 "Fuck you, KIϟϟ fans--I hate you guys." End quote.🙄 That comment, along with a thorough listen through every other KIϟϟ episode you've posted, tells me you have as much disdain for your audience as you do for fact-checking The Incredibly Stupid KIϟϟ Podcast, Simple. You could have at least justified the episode title by ripping on Gene's mid-80s look, but apparently you'd rather continue to blow smoke up Vinnie's flaky ass. To be fair, I did meet him in 1986 on the first VV Invasion tour, and he couldn't have been nicer--which makes the way he consistently treats his fans nowadays that much more puzzling.

I must admit, it's refreshing to enjoy a KIϟϟ podcast made by a couple film geeks who clearly aren't huge fans; the upside is fresh perspective. But the downside is that neither of you have done much research to avoid factual inaccuracy. Vinnie's Joanie Loves Chachi connection is trivia, at best--not his "main claim to fame" before joining the band. Sure, he'd previously formed bands with The Young Rascals' Felix Cavaliere (Treasure) and, later, members of New England (Warrior), but to the general public, Vincent Cusano was largely unknown. And Gene's "self-destructive" comments refer to Vinnie's well-established tendency to sabotage virtually every break he's ever gotten with erratic behavior that borders on delusional. Yet you insist that description is "in no way true". Your unabashed hatred for Gene Simmons is downright laughable when expressed in the same breath as "[Vinnie]'s still loved by the fans"...you make so much noise about Gene's greed, painting him as the bad guy when it comes to the Vincent relationship, but you conveniently avoid addressing Vinnie's ludicrous attempts to fleece his still-shrinking fanbase with $3,500 guitar picks & $7,500 merch bundles, not to mention the thousands of dollars worth of pre-orders taken on box sets that are STILL undelivered. "Gene and Paul tried reaching out to Ace and Peter to play on the last couple of shows and they said 'nope'..." ??? Where did you hear that? There was a lot of back and forth over that issue and none of it went like that. You mention Peter Criss being a jazz drummer and going to Juilliard? No, and never happened. And apart from being pictured on the cover, Ace Frehley had *zero* to do with Creatures--no guitar, no "turn it up", no nothing. C'mon, guys--do some research BEFORE you cut the podcast.

Is that you ,shandi, talk to me , are great songs off of unmasked its not bad album

Neil Diamond's Hot August Night was THE live album that doesn't get credit for being the FIRST HUGE live LP. It was in every house you walked in.

Eric carr playing in his sandbox? Wow dude

good vid

1974 Nazareth-Love Hurts. Power ballad

Hysteria didn't take off until they released 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' along with the video it blew up on MTV & the album followed. As for the power Ballads issue ,1st of all they were called Power Ballads because they contained Power Chords drenched in distortion therefore 'Beth' doesn't qualify & Thin Lizzy who were massively popular in the 70's after Whiskey in the Jar & Boys are Back in Town charted, wrote heaps of them ,some albums contained 1or 2..Still in Love With You originally on Nitelife later reappeared on 'Live & Dangerous' is probably My favorite, others were 'Didn't I' from 'Chinatown' & 'With Love' from Black Rose etc.

Love❤VanHalen since 1980 thanks Man ❤

The real Kiss

Part of the impetus toward a concept album was that they wanted to be seen/accpeted as 'REAL' / 'legitimate' music artsists to help gain popularity again.

About tracking down the leather mix of Mötley Crue's Too Fast For Love, I think they released a maxi single with some of the songs. I think I have it with a different mix of Live Wire among my vinyls. I have not played it (or any of my other vinyls) for 30 years though. If anyone is actually interested I could try to find it and see what the record number is.

good show

I love you guy's "ummm actually" energy. Sub for sure. The sound of someone vaping into the mic is very off-putting. Great show tho guys.

Dimebag Darrell was not on stage with Pantera, it was a Damage Plan gig, hence the smaller venue. Tragically the Great white gig soon after. In Denver we still have our Fillmore and many other great smaller venues.

Unmasked KILLED KISS here in America. And killed everything that came after. To be exact...it was Unmasked, the keyboards on Unmasked, Shandi, the Gene Simmons tin foil gargoyle costume, and the lack of an American leg of The Unmasked Tour... Oh...and i forgot one thing. The cover sucked as well

I liked the first few songs of Unmasked but then again I'm from Australia and we embraced 1980s Kiss. In fact 1980 we experienced a form of Beatlemania.

RUSH being from Canada had grants from the government. Being a Canadian artist carries benefits that are non existent in the US.

They’re not making $$$ off streaming. Barely. The New Model is a disaster. Nobody is ‘culling the herd’ so the drain is clogged with multitudes of terrible bands making absolute garbage.

KISS’ story is that Paul & Gene walked away from Wicked Lester and their deal deliberately

Dressed to kill was my favorite album cover. So simple but cool as shit. i want a throw blanket with that album cover on it.

This doc's 1st minute conquers the heart of the early die-hard K fan, as it tries to revive the atmosphere that sparked the band. You can almost imagine Stanley driving one of the cabs there... Intelligent start!

Their first manager had a huge coke problem at the end too

Full of misinformation. Billy gibbons didn't die and Peter criss sang on recorded songs earlier than Love Gun. A lot if misinformation makes me stop listening

Just to clarify when you mentioned when Rush recorded a record in a mountain studio, yes they did, they recorded Snakes and Arrows at Allaire Studios in New York's Catskill Mountains.

49:30 actually if you read Geddy’s new book he talks about doing coke during Neil’s solos.

All bands are cooler before the $$ because its about the music then

Billie gibbons didnt die Dusty did. And kisses best charting record was Beth

1:02:03. Billy Gibbons is alive and well last I knew. Dusty Hill died in 2021. His bass tech / band roadie, complete with ZZ beard jumped right in and they’re still touring.

Dressed To Kill also has “She” and “Rock Bottom” on it. Those 2 songs alone make it a great album. Throw in RnRAN and it’s a no brainer.
