Another phone call about KISS between brothers as we share our opinions & conjecture on the never ending war of words in the 'family' as we accelerate towards the "End Of The Road". Caught up in the considerable confusion, chop, characteristic subterfuge and ever-shifting tides, we seek clarity, solid ballast and smooth sailing for the final voyage & beyond! - KISStorian.com

KISStorian BrothersED STEVENSON ads KISStoric contextSome wine cannot be tasted before it's time, but KISS is always in harvest: Last to the party, Midwestern musician, songwriter & ROCKstorian ED STEVENSON is our latest victim. Another reluctant KISStorian, Ed is called upon abruptly to sound off on KISStory in what can only be described as a fruitful and telling ambush. A skeptic from the start, Ed graciously agrees to takes us back to '75 and his first knowledge of KISS via the then unescapable FM hit "Rock & Roll All Nite". Preoccupied with 'heavier music' at the time, and still today, Ed comes clean about the genesis o...

KISStorian BrothersROCK & ROLL OVER needle dropA late nite 'needle drop' on RRO, KISS's warmest and perhaps most faithful (and on-brand) studio offering, Eddie Kramer's diamond in the rough! A producer's job is to get the best out of a given band, and their material, at a given place in time, relevant to the market .and Kramer's delivered in spades. In fact, Kramer's sonic experiment on RRO captured KISS's raw live sound & vibe on a 'studio' release better than any album in their careers. KISStorian.com

We set the bar (highfalutin) and this episode is no exception as the mysterious 'RacerX' finally agrees to share, for the first time anywhere, his ground-breaking KISStoric theological breakdowns of KISS lyrics, come hell or high water! From Simmon's "Seduction Of The Innocents", "Thou Shalt Not" and the semi-Biblical "On The 8th Day" to the Paul Stanley LIU vision statement that is "Exciter", RacerX masterfully breaks down the potentially deeper, more central meaning of KISS's lyrics from an entirely different yet profoundly relevant KISStoric perspective here-to-for unexplored in the annals of rock! - KISStorian.com

KISStorian BrothersHOT IN THE SHADE a breath of fresh air"Hot In The Shade" was a return to 'classic KISS'. By and large its a collection of fun rockers that takes itself a little less seriously, and lies in stark contrast, to their prior release, the 80's-glossed "Crazy Nights". Soon it would all be a mute point as the onset of grunge would send KISS on a fools errand resulting in gloriously heavy but ill-conceived "Carnival of Souls". Indeed, HITS finds KISS on a low budget, trimming sails, vamping up demos and polishing the ballad "Forever" enough to ensure an MTV hit video and a summer tour of the...

What is gleamed is a decided mix of southern rock, Brit power-pop and vestiges of the late-60's power-trio / hippie-jam rock soul apparently coursing through the young veins of then 22-year-old lead guitarist Ace Frehley.

KISStorian Brothersthe PAUL STANLEY Cooking ShowFour inane / well-intended episodes of THE PAUL STANLEY COOKING SHOW from 2010 ...Paul's webmaster even shared a couple of these at PaulStanley.com at the time so I guess the Starchild was cool with it ...Ironically, it didn't take too long after for KISS to ultimately get in the 'food services' industry with ROCK & BREWS ...Anyway, it's long been known that Paulikins has a defined pallet and expensive tastes but I tried to keep it real here as Mr. Speed did with his "Cold Gin" live boozer rant, only now with unsolicited culinary advice for the KISS Army!! -- KISStorian...

KISStorian Brothersthe BRUCE KULICK ExperienceRock guitar hero BRUCE KULICK was kind enough to call in and share his recent experience recording on ACE FREHLEY's 'Origin's Vol.2' when he and Ace joined rock soldier forces to exorcise JIMI HENDRIX's "Manic Depression". The convo rambles from drop-tuning guitars a full-step down to baseball to KISS Exposed outtakes, and from to KISS drummers to legendary producers RON NEVISON & BOB EZRIN.

Isn’t it? OK, not so much. But for many members of the KISS Army, the subdued imagery of 1981 represents a departure from the classic KISS recipe in which there are as many treasures as there are missteps.
