Tonight I took part in another episode of the KISSFAQ podcast! I, along with other diehard KISS fans, discussed our thoughts on Ace Frehley live in 2016. We talked about his setlist, whether or not he can still bring it and the rumor that he may be rejoining KISS in 2017. You can listen to this episode on iTunes, or watch a video of it below on YouTube. Enjoy!
Last night I took part in my first episode of the KISSFAQ podcast! I, along with three other diehard KISS fans, discussed our thoughts on the new Official KISS Magazine. You can listen to this episode on iTunes, or watch a video of it below on YouTube. Unfortunately, the YouTube video is audio only because one of the other guests on the show had technical issues with video. I look forward to being part of future episodes of the KISSFAQ podcast. It’s a great show!
Last week I saw the greatest live spectacle on Earth: KISS. This was my 11th time seeing the band perform live, if you include the concerts I’ve attended and performances I’ve seen on the KISS Kruise and during backstage meet and greets. Speaking of meet and greets, thanks to the generosity and kindness of one of the band members, my cousin and I were part of KISS’ meet and greet in Allentown. Being able to share this amazing moment with my best friend and someone who loves KISS as much as I do, made for a special night neither of us will forget. Continue reading
Today KISS released KISS Rocks Vegas and I received the Deluxe Edition, which features a Blu-Ray, DVD and CD capturing their 2014 Las Vegas residency. This set also features an exclusive CD of an acoustic set KISS did during one of its Las Vegas meet and greets. Check out my video review below to see what’s inside:
As many of you know by now, KISS is my favorite rock band so when Brett Weiss, the author of Encyclopedia of KISS, asked me if I’d review his new book I was happy to do so. With so many great KISS books available, you might be wondering, is this one worth my money? Watch my video review below to find out.
I missed Ace Frehley’s concert last week in New Hope because of Philadelphia being under lockdown as a result of the Pope’s visit. But yesterday I made sure I was in Oaks, PA to meet and get my photo taken with Ace at the All Things That Rock Festival. Not only did my photo turn out great, I got to interview “Space Ace” and Ken Kelly, an artist famous for creating iconic album artwork, including KISS’ Destroyer and Love Gun, as well as Ace’s latest solo album: Space Invader.

For me, 2014 was the year of KISS. I was lucky enough to meet all of the current and original members of the band, and I was in Brooklyn when Paul, Gene, Peter, and Ace were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I also interviewed Paul Stanley and received one of his autographed signature guitars as part of a meet and greet. And I closed out the year with two Ace Frehley concerts and meet and greets, not to mention my seabound voyage on KISS Kruise IV, where the band and I were “Dressed to Kill.”
My biggest KISS highlight of this year so far? Interviewing KISS’ current – and best – drummer: Eric Singer. As you can see from the interview below, we covered a lot of ground. Having the opportunity to speak with my favorite drummer for an extended period of time was an absolute joy, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
By now you probably know that I’m a huge KISS fan. And being a KISS fan means hearing about all of the crazy merchandising ideas they get involved in and asking yourself, Is this something worth buying? The band’s latest commercial venture is a direct-to-video movie with Scooby-Doo and the gang, and I’m glad to say it’s actually quite good.
Meeting Tobin Bell at Monster-Mania 30.
Last Saturday I attended Monster-Mania. This biannual event features notable actors and actresses from the horror, action, comedy, and science fiction genres, as well as professional wrestlers. For the thousands that attend, this is an opportunity to meet their idols, get autographs, participate in photo-ops, watch Q&A panels, browse through aisles of cool merchandise, and enjoy hours upon hours of movies.
Below is my video review of KISS Kruise IV, as well as photos and videos from this unforgettable event. Enjoy!
