We’ll cover their legendary personas—Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss—and how each member contributed to the band’s unique identity. Discover the stories behind classic albums like Destroyer and Alive!
Listeners will also hear from industry experts, fans, and even some special guest musicians who share their experiences and insights about what makes Kiss a phenomenon. We’ll discuss their business savvy, merchandise empire, and the controversies that have followed them throughout their career.
