In 1976, everything changed for KISS.After years of grinding it out on the road, the band suddenly exploded into a full-blown phenomenon — sold-out arenas, the rise of the KISS Army, merchandising everywhere, and a level of fan hysteria rock had rarely seen. This wasn't just success… it was a takeover. The question is: why did it all happen in that one year?In this episode, we break down the perfect storm — 'Destroyer', 'Rock & Roll Over', non-stop touring, the mythology, the image, and the moment when KISS truly became The Hottest Band in the Land.Featuring an interview with Martin Popoff, author of Kiss '76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the Land, who walks us through the chaos, strategy, and timing that turned a cult band into a cultural phenomenon overnight.If you want to understand when KISS stopped being a band… and became an institution — this is the year.Purchase a copy of KISS '76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the LandVisit MartinPopoff.com----------
This week on Geekwire, we dig into some big movement in the hard rock and metal world as Skid Row teams up with Sweetwater for a worldwide search for a brand-new singer — and yes, anyone with the pipes can throw their hat in the ring. We also hit comments from Slash, who explains how the Guns N' Roses recording process has always worked as a democracy behind the scenes, plus tour news as W.A.S.P. announces the “1984 to Headless” North American run with special guests KK's Priest. We discuss a tough update from the metal world as Twisted Sister cancels all 2026 reunion shows due to Dee Snider's health challenges, and the reaction across the scene. Also in the mix: Manowar shares emotional words following news about Ross “The Boss,” Accept guitarist Philip Shouse unveils his debut EP, and Blaze Bayley explains why he's stepping away from meet-and-greets at future shows. We check out a funny story from Chris Jericho involving Ozzy Osbourne, along with new music news from Donnie Vie signing to Steven Van Zandt's label. KISS-related headlines dominate part of the show as Gene Simmons joins an all-star tribute to the Bon Scott era of AC/DC, the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons release the first Stanley Simmons video, and the classic “I Was Made For Lovin' You” video crosses the one-billion-view mark on YouTube. Plus: Brett Carlisle's run on American Idol, the bizarre Chattanooga KISS memorabilia theft story (by popular demand), and renewed discussion around the Kurt Cobain investigation as claims resurface while Seattle police stand by the original ruling.

Sean and Todd bounce between gaming, music, and nostalgia, starting with ideas for interactive game content, controller upgrades, and retro gaming revivals like Tomb Raider. They share personal stories about icy driving, livestream experiments, and the frustrations (and joys) of modern gaming gear, before drifting into memories of arcades, family gatherings, and musical moments growing up.The conversation pivots into wrestling nostalgia, local legends, and the way time reshapes how memories land. From there, Sean introduces new podcast projects and deep dives into concept albums, setting the stage for an extended discussion on KISS — particularly The Elder. Sean explains his lifelong connection to the album, including creating a comic inspired by it as a kid, and breaks down how KISS's shift away from mythic, superhero-like personas hurt the record's reception.Sean and Todd explore KISS's evolving image, Gene Simmons' original supernatural vision for the band, Paul Stanley's later creative control, and the eventual return to makeup and character-driven theatrics. They highlight tracks like “The Oath” as progressive, theatrical standouts that helped shape Sean's love of concept albums, while also touching on other KISS records, band dynamics, and how image, leadership, and storytelling can make or break an album.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/Merch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook
This episode of Regarding… Music From The Elder takes on Odyssey, the Paul Stanley–sung epic where KISS decides that the best way to build mythology is to state it very solemnly and hope the listener fills in the blanks.Chaz Charles, Greg “Wolfie” Wolf, Scott D. Monroe, and Corey Morissette break down a song that has lyrics, has a singer, and has enormous confidence — yet still leaves everyone asking the same question:Who is Paul Stanley supposed to be right now?Is he the voice of the Elders?A historian?A prophet?A tour guide pointing vaguely at a fantasy world just off-camera?That confusion comes into sharp focus around one of the song's most baffling images: the child in a sundress. The panel spends time trying to figure out who this child is supposed to be, why we're meant to care, and how such a specific image can feel emotionally loaded while remaining completely untethered to any character, story, or stakes. Is it innocence? A symbol? A memory? Or just another gesture toward meaning without the work of defining it?The episode digs deep into the song's core tension: Odyssey wants to function as narration without committing to a narrator. Paul sings declarative, myth-heavy lines with total conviction, but the lyrics never establish perspective, stakes, or character — creating a song that sounds profound while remaining stubbornly abstract.The panel unpacks:How Paul's performance sells seriousness even when the lyrics wobbleWhy repetition is doing most of the storytelling heavy liftingHow the song insists that a grand journey is underway without showing us any of itAnd why this kind of myth-making teeters dangerously close to self-parodyComparisons are made to 2112, classic fantasy tropes, and Monty Python's mock-epic moments, where absolute sincerity collides with material that can't quite support it. The group debates whether “Odyssey” is misunderstood ambition, overreach, or simply a band confusing importance with clarity.The episode closes — after post-production reordering — with a table read from Scott D. Monroe's original screenplay, now placed at the end of the show, finally giving “Odyssey” the narrative framework it always seemed to demand… and quietly highlighting how much the song itself leaves unsaid.This isn't about vocals.It's about authority without definition.The Regarding…Series — we listen so you don't have to.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

On this episode of 90's NOW, Kelly & Sharon break down the newly announced Songwriters Hall of Fame Class of 2026, featuring Kenny Loggins, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, Alanis Morissette, legendary producer Walter Afanasieff and Taylor Swift, who becomes the second-youngest songwriter ever inducted. (The youngest remains Stevie Wonder, inducted at age 33 in 1983.) Kelly & Sharon also discuss the notable omissions from this year's list, including Sarah McLachlan, P!nk, LL Cool J, and Kelly's all-time fave Janet Jackson - and share their thoughts on who they believe deserves future recognition. The conversation then turns to the surprising legal dispute between longtime collaborators Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, whose partnership helped define hits for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, NSYNC, Jay-Z, and their own group N.E.R.D. What led to the split and why is it so unsettling to see two music icons at odds. Plus, AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys explains why he prefers to go by Alex when he's not performing, sparking a discussion about artist personas and mental health. We also cover Harry Styles' return to music, including a new single, album and tour, with Shania Twain set to open his London shows - and reflect on Sheryl Crow previously opening for P!nk on tour. This week's listener question: Who would you like to see inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame next? Wrap things up with Kelly's Trivia and a trip back to 1990 in Sharon's 90's Rewind. If you enjoyed this episode of 90's NOW, please take a moment to rate, review, and follow the podcast on Podbean, Apple Podcasts or Spotify - it really helps others find the show and keeps the 90s conversation going!

Phil Collins turns 75 on January 30th, and things aren't going great. https://consequence.net/2026/01/phil-collins-health-update-2026/ TVKaramo Brown reportedly fell out with his "Queer Eye" costars because they were talking behind his back . . . and his mother overheard it. https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/21/queer-eye-karamo-brown-hot-mic-rift-hosts/ William Shatner went viral the other day for eating cereal behind the wheel. But it turns out it was all for Kellogg's Super Bowl commercial. He took a few publicity photos at different locations, including the behind the wheel shot, which he says is one of the silliest photos he's ever taken. Shatner says the actual commercial will be him inside a spaceship. Here are a few other Super Bowl commercials we can expect to see: 1. Post Malone, Shane Gillis, and Peyton Manning are returning as the "Big Men on the Cul-de-Sac" for Bud Light. Instead of a neighborhood block party, they're on their way to a wedding with a keg of Bud Light.2. Liquid I.V. released a short clip of Rumi from "Kpop Demon Hunters" . . . singing a cover of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds". Netflix's revival of the talent show "Star Search" is live, and one of the singers, Bear Bailey, had signed up to sing Jelly Roll's song "Hard Fought Hallelujah" before Jelly was announced as a judge on the show. Bear's performance had Jelly in tears and speechless for a while.

Industry insiders are noticing that the cost of the high-tech parts inside the console, like memory and storage, has been quietly climbing, which means Nintendo might have to raise the price of the Switch 2. It wouldn't be such a radical move as the PlayStation and Xbox have already increased the prices of their consoles after releasing them to the public.

Stanley Simmons: From Viral Moment to Americana Revival | Evan Stanley & Nick Simmons Interview In this episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike sits down with Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the folk-Americana duo behind Stanley Simmons, for a conversation about creativity, connection, and finding the right sound at the right time. Though they've known each other their entire lives—and grew up immersed in music history as the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS—they never intended to collaborate. That changed after a spontaneous viral Instagram video revealed an undeniable vocal chemistry, what they describe as a “third voice,” and sparked the formation of Stanley Simmons. The conversation explores the making of their debut single “Body Down,” a song rooted in Americana, folk, blues, and classic songwriting traditions, while feeling distinctly modern. Evan and Nick discuss writing 41 songs in just 11 months, working with legendary producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore), and how early bedroom demos evolved into a full-length album. They also reflect on creating music without chasing trends, navigating legacy without leaning on it, and why they believe music is medicine—a form of resilience, expression, and connection in uncertain times. If you're a fan of Americana music, folk revival, singer-songwriters, roots rock, or artists like Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Noah Kahan, and Harry Styles, this episode offers a thoughtful look at two artists building something honest and enduring.
Regarding… Music From The Elder kicks off Season Five of the Regarding… series with a deep dive into KISS's most infamous left turn: The Elder, the soundtrack to a movie that never existed—until now.Co-Hosts Greg “Wolfie” Wolf, Scott D. Monroe, Chaz Charles, and Corey Morissette enter the album track by track with eyes wide open, asking not whether it's good or bad, but what actually happens when a band builds an entire fantasy world and forgets how to live inside it. This season isn't about rehabilitating The Elder, and it's not about burying it either. It's about documenting it honestly. Oaky...honestly, they didn't need to ask if it was bad...but that is entirely besides the point. There are those who would disagree.The episode opens by framing the record's troubled history—Bob Ezrin, post-Wall ambition, band dysfunction, label interference, and the infamous resequencing that altered the original narrative. The hosts debate original vs. remastered track order before settling on the band's restored vision: “Fanfare” into “Just a Boy.”From there, the discussion digs into why the album alienated fans, how its medieval fantasy tropes collide with KISS's identity, and why certain ideas almost work when stripped of the band's branding. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons quotes add historical context, while sharp commentary compares The Elder to Tommy, 2112, Lord of the Rings, and even unintentional self-parody.The episode's major twist: the launch of an original, serialized movie script written by Scott D. Monroe. Each week, new pages will be released, expanding the story the album only hinted at—and sometimes actively avoided. This first episode features a full table read of the prologue, introducing Morpheus, the Elders, Mr. Blackwell, and the Boy, finally giving the album the narrative structure it never quite earned.Along the way, the hosts cover Ace Frehley's limited contributions, Bob Kulick's uncredited guitar work, the album's critical reputation, and why The Elder may be one of rock's most fascinating failures.Season Five begins exactly where Regarding… belongs: at the intersection of ambition, miscalculation, and just enough belief to make the whole thing worth examining.We listen so you don't have to.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

Police have called it a death investigation into an apparent homicide. Officials have not released more information regarding the circumstances of the deaths.

The Millers tell "CBS Mornings" about their escape from the attack, and how a stranger laid on top of their 3-year-old daughter to protect her from gunfire.

MUSICThe three surviving founding members of KISS -- Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss -- paid a visit to The White House on Saturday where President Trump recognized them as one of this year's five recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, which is presented to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Guitarist Ace Frehley, who died in October following a fall at his New Jersey home, was represented by his daughter Monique. https://youtu.be/MoEAlhUTVnEFollowing the ceremony in the Oval Office, the State Department hosted a dinner for the honorees, which also included actors Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford, country singer George Strait, and R&B singer Gloria Gaynor. Taking the podium there, the President spoke in more detail about each recipient.With a chair left empty in memory of Ace Frehley, KISS were honored by Garth Brooks, who, upon taking the stage said, “I see some faces of confusion. No we are in the right segment of the show, people” before performing "Shout it Out Loud."Also paying tribute were Criss Angel, Marcus King, and Cheap Trick who ended the show with "Rock and Roll All Nite."Highlights of the show will air on CBS and Paramount+ on December 23rd. Garbage was performing in Australia recently, and apparently someone started tossing a beach ball around. Shirley stopped the show to RANT about the beach balls . . . sarcastically shouting, "Guy with your big [effing] beach ball. Ooh, I'm so scared of you. So thrilled by you. What [an effing D-bag]." https://consequence.net/2025/12/garbage-shirley-manson-beach-ball-video/ TVMiley Cyrus gagged while describing this fear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night.

I learn pages after pages and I have a lot of energy . . . "I keep working, and I keep pushing myself to be better . . . because I love what I do . . . it keeps me young." 2. Spending time with family, and having active friends. Quote, "I have grandchildren and my own children, some of whom are in their early 40s. I'm part of their social circle. So I've never been sort of put in the group of, 'Oh, now you're an older person . . .' Not at all. Quite the opposite." 3. Don't dismiss new things, embrace them, and join in. Jane says she's "much more open-minded" about life now, and is "not stuck in my ways." She adds, "People say, 'Are you going to wind down?' I go, 'I am winding UP' I am loving life. NOW is it . . .

It is with heavy hearts that we present this week's episode as a tribute to Paul Daniel "Ace" Frehley. The rock 'n' roll icon, legendary guitar god, and former KISS guitarist, passed away on October 16, 2025, after suffering a fall in his home studio weeks earlier. Kevin has a profound connection to KISS and Ace as a lifelong fan and proud member of the KISS Army. While not an obscure artist by any means (the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer had 10 gold records, 5 multi-platinum records with KISS, and a platinum solo album), the duo tries to share some lesser-known songs, including a few crazy guest appearances. Excuse Kevin's extensive ramblings about the great Space Ace, but this loss was hard, and the tribute is necessary. Ace was a true character, who played a character, and played with character. A genuine original. A true rock star.New to InObscuria? Typically, what we do is exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In the case of this particular episode, we are leaning towards the FORGOTTEN. Although a member of a band that holds the RIAA distinction of having the most gold-certified albums overall by any American band is hardly forgotten… In any case, we are paying tribute to one of the greatest guitarists of all time! Rest In Peace, Ace. There will never be another like you!Songs this week include:Criss – “Bad Attitude (feat. Ace Frehley)” from Cat #1(1994)Anton Fig – “Know Where You Go (feat. Ace Frehley & Sebastian Bach)” from Figments (2002)Ace Frehley – “The Girl Can't Dance” from The Girl Can't Dance Demo (1983)Wendy O. Williams – “Bump And Grind” from W.O.W. (1984)Ace Frehley & Kris Randall – “Rise Up (Back From The Grave)” from Rise Up (Back From The Grave) - Single (2014)Chris Cassone – “Never Too Hot (with Ace Frehley)” from The BBQ All Stars (2013)ESP – “Foxy Lady” from Lost And Spaced (1998)Satin – “The Magic Kiss Medley” from Gods Of Thunder: A Norwegian Tribute To KISS (2005)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/
