  • Nothing changes

    Occasionally I listen to these clowns bragging about how wonderful they are, just in case they have stopped. Sadly they haven’t. They should retitle the podcast” two narcissists and Dumbo do Kiss”. Don’t waste your hearing.

  • Such Dedication

    I’ve been listening to these guys for years. They blocked me from Facebook as I took issue with their “shocker” symbol as I found it gross and immature. But that aside I’ll say they’re terrific podcasters with amazing insight and discussion around Kiss. It’s a super entertaining show for hardcore fans. My only complaint is that they always downplay and defend the negative aspects of the band and members of which there are plenty. I wish they were a little more honest about the band’s obvious lia... more

    Used to be a decent show if you could get past the 45 minutes of fan bashing they engage in at the beginning of each episode. I checked out after the End of the Road episode when none of them could bring themselves to voice an honest review of the show.

  • 4 stars

    I gave you guys four stars because I’ve heard some really well produced shows and I particularly love when you go back and revisit all albums with producers and stories, etc.. that said, I think it might be time to hang it up. The band is retired and I think you guys have covered some really good stuff, I’m 29 minutes into today’s episode and you really haven’t talked about the band at all. It’s been all personal stories, talk about being a professional drummer, blah blah. Like, Gene, says. Run ... more
