Any re- do of “…Phantom…” Needs ALL Ace dialogue restored and the one authentic Peter voiced line from the TV commercial. More live clips (like the Alive II promo, etc) in the first 3rd of the film to build up that KISS are coming and are the Hottest Band in the world….

Great talk! DRESSED TO KILL at times is my favorite of The Originals'. "She", "Love Her All I Can", "Two Timer", huge songs to me. Great episode. Have a great weekend. Aaron....you dapper son of gun 😍

As much as I love She and Ace’s solo but I don’t know if any of you are Doors fans but the solo is almost exactly the solo from a song called Five To One on the album Waiting For The Sun. If you don’t know it you should look into it and check it 😁

Another rumor about Rock Bottom I have heard is Ace is the sole background singer at the end of the song….not Gene like most people may think.

Definitely the best “sounding” album with all four original guys

Hey Brant Love Dressed To Kill love the sound great songs straight up ROCK N’ ROLL!! What an opening track ROOM SERVICE

Peter Criss is the MVP on this album. His energy was off the radar

This is their best album. And my favorite. It's Lenny Kravitz favorite too

Allow me to answer the titular question before I'm even 3 minutes into the pod: YES! Heh-heh...he said "titular".😝

Great episode guys!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks Brant for the Shout Out!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Best album cover of all time

Peter criss makes the song ‘She ‘ in my opinion

'Agreeance' is not a word.."I'm in agreement" or ..I agree,.. Fred Durst I think said "I'm in agreeance".

I actually really LIKE Kissin'Time!! While not 'essential' or 'Kritical'.. I think it kicks ass for what it is.. And they hated it.. all 4 of them were unified in that stance. They were all pissed at Bogart for lying to them . Told them it was just gonna be a quick radio spot for the kissing contest and it wasn't gonna be released... then he released it..

I wish I could have seen them live in like 74.. All of them say it was sheer volume that got the audience going.. That music, played extremely loud.. man, nothing like it I'll bet.

i was lucky to see them for first time in 1974 at Muthers Music Emporium April 16, 1974 seen them 62 times over 50years

Sorry, absolutely love Got to choose. I see the opening lick as the early dawn. Somethings coming over the hill. You can hear a siren in the distance. And then you see the truck coming with the hard guitar lick. And harmonies were awesome

It's my favorite album too! Got it when I was 5. My mom said it was a phase that I'd be out of in a couple months. 50 years + later, pretty long phase

We have a Yankee fan in the house!!! Someone call out the FIREHOUSE!!! Your wearing my hat G-DOG....haha

Whoooo-hoooo! I won! I’ve been so bogged down with work and Christmas stuff, I was waiting to listen to this on my long car ride to the airport! Great video, as expected! Love the Christmas memories, that was a nice touch. I’ll be in touch about the sticker!

Love the Hotter Than Hell album, wish the production was a little better, specifically the drums. They sound so flat and in the background to me. All that said, I wouldn't want them to remix or re-record it, it's classic as-is warts and all. Always thought "Comin' Home" should have been the opening track, Got to Choose is an odd choice IMO

I’ve always considered DTK to be my favourite KISS album (and cover art too) but lately HTH has been a serious contender for my top spot. ‘Goin’ Blind’ and ‘Parasite’ get “Kritical KISS” status to any KISS fan who hit their teens in the 90’s, thanks to the Melvins and Anthrax 🤘 ‘All The Way’ may be the deepest of makeup era deep cuts (and a great one too) and the anomaly that is Gene’s costume on the back cover is fascinating to me.

Who wrote and performed the theme song? Trivia - I believe the song was "Watchin' You" if I remember correctly. Wasn't something like only 10 or 12 individuals at the the concert? Or do I have my facts wrong? Also, was the venue called Popcorn Club when Kiss played there in 1973?

Was so dark hearing this in 1978 at my dads friends party .. I was given It to take home and love this album . To this day it a favourite

Differently their heaviest album of the 70’s with Ace Frehley solo a close second. Arguably the best deep tracks of any KISS album! This album has moved up on my ranking list over time.

Thanks for doing this! I think this album would get more love if it wasn’t for Alive! So, having said that, I don’t think it’s “Kritical”. I do really like Cold Gin from this album. A major misstep for me was releasing Nothin’ To Lose as the lead off single. Stutter or Deuce should’ve been the first single.

I’m really digging this show and the way you’re setting up the content. I definitely have to listen to your shows on a Friday night because I came up with a game where I take a shot of Bacardi everytime one of you says the word critical. 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, I’m loving the show!! Keep up the great work 👍🏻. One thought on “Let me go, rock and roll” : whenever KISS did a Chuck Berryish song which wasn’t often it was always great!!! And definitely critical (takes a shot) to KISSTORY because it was KISS’s original rock and roll anthem for the first 2 tours⚡️

“Watchin’ You” was the song preformed @ the Coventry.

Parasite is critical to Hotter Than Hell, Alive and Kisstory. Parasite gave KISS street cred to the band in its heaviness. I wouldn’t underestimate this especially how important Alive is to Kisstory.

Definitely their darkest and one of my very favorites.

Just discovered you guys, really enjoying the KISS banter 🤘🏻 Subscribed and looking forward to future episodes. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 This album ranks pretty high on my fav KISS records. The dark grungy sound makes this record unique, I love it just as is. Fav tracks are Parasite and Goin Blind. It all rules but I love those two tracks! 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

Brilliant album. Ordinary tracks such as All the way and Mainline but it has marvellous songs like Goin blind Strange ways Got to choose and Coming home. I think the first 2 albums on their own show the music stands up on its own and its not just a show

My favorite Kiss album next to Kiss Alive. A lot of people knock it's production. I love it's dark, dirty, recorded in a basement sound. I love every song on it. Peter Criss was a fantastic drummer regardless of what his hater's say. Most of them probably can't play drums anyway. Listen to his 100,000 years drum solo off of the "Stoned in Paris" bootleg. It's even better than the one on Kiss Alive ! He also had the best voice in Kiss along with Paul. Ace was a phenomenal player back in the 70's and 80's too ! Not only did he write songs like Parasite, Shock me, and Cold gin but he also created the most memorable solo's of all the Kiss guitarists that came after him ! Paul and Gene were great song writers and underrated as players too. They had a great work ethic and drive for success. HTH was a Kick ass album !! The original Kiss was a force to be reckoned with between 1973 and 1977 !!! 🔥🤘🎸🎸🎸🥁

Another point Re Kramer. He recorded Watching You on the demo, so we would have maybe got a debut with Let me Go, Watchin you, and acrobat. Just imagine how this album would rate by fans then🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Turd in the punch bowl Brant🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Parasite was famously played on the 2004 Rock the nation tour. It may have been the last time it was played on tour, not counting the Kruise. Ace will play it in his solo shows, even to this day.

Black Diamond is the only song off Kiss they have played every night, which means they have played it the most in their career, more than R n Roll all night.

I think Comin home was a great mtv opener. Got to choose could have been a closer. I love the MTV unplugged got to choose! That is my childhood!!

Aww thanks for the mini shout out! Also: Deutschland ist sehr toll, ja!!! Ich kann klein Deutsch sprechen. Mein Onkel kann perfekt Deutsch sprechen. Meine Mutter ist Deutsch.

Did you hear Eric Carr never played one HTH track live in his 10 year career with Kiss.

Critical for me. 1-They had already read to roll two pre HTH tracks Let me go Rockin roll Watchin you 2-Aces costume is unbelievably cool, and sets the tone for ever. 3- as great as the album, this album barely has one single to be honest.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Means a lot to me. This was a great discussion. HTH has always been a weird one for me….one of the last CDs I ever added to the collection as a high schooler. But it is also one of those albums I okay, when I really want to hear “full on” KISS. Right up there with ALIVE!, R&RO, and LIU for me. Awesome video! Love what you guys are doing. Merry Christmas to you all. Stay safe. Much love - Ric 🙏🤘🙏

Cool to see you guys doing this together! Hope to see you at ROCKNPOD in Nashville next April!

Love the show guys!!! For me HTH not a favorite but definitely in my top 10 I would rank….. Parasite Watchin’ You Strange Ways Hotter Than Hell All The Way Let Me Go Rock n’ Roll Goin’ Blind Got To Choose Comin’ Home Mainline

It is the Gene and Ace written songs that are just brilliant on this album / This album is my favorite of those 3 first albums and those 3 albums made Kiss Alive ⭐
