episode 38: 38 - The Hottest Band in the World: Kiss!
When it comes to rock and roll, nobody does it louder or bigger than KISS. They took the idea that rock is about having a good time and then turned that up to 11 with their bluesy music, soaring solos, and some of the most recognizable looks in rock and roll.
In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re taking a look at KISS. Their rise to fame. The personality conflicts. The make up. The live shows with the explosions, fire breathing, and blood spitting. And of course, the merchandise!
Plus, we announce the winners of the vote for greatest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snubs and talk to our pal Bert Lepore from the Mix Tapes and Tasty Cakes podcast.
You wanted the best and you got the best. The hottest podcast in the land, Prisoners of Rock and Roll!
