We don't know the year it's gonna be. It's all
a surprise. It's fun and it's unfiltered, it's uncensored, and
some people might say unlistenable, much like ninety of the
fucking podcast out there. Sorry, I'm in a fucking mood.
No check it out. It's fun, it's it's a good time.
We do those. We're gonna start doing those maybe like
once a month, once every couple of months. I get
a hangout and drink beers with my best friend, who
I will see on the cruise to the Edge in
just a couple of weeks. What else do we have
coming up, folks? Before we get into the gist of
the fucking headline of the show, which is all kiss
fucking related, because you know, kiss equals clicks, that's the
world we fucking live in in rock and roll. The
Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show is coming up the end
of MA. They haven't announced who the performance are yet,
but there's concerts every night. It's cheap. You can actually
buy stuff there. You can walk in and go, fuck,
I really like that guitar, and then talk to the
guy in the booth and then give him money and
he gives you the guitar and you can bring it home.
You don't have to give reach arounds and get on
your fucking knees and pray that you might get a deal.
You might get an endorsement deal where you still have
to pay for the fucking guitar. Those days are long
gone unless you're really famous. Oh here, well you're in
a band. Here have a less Paul. Oh it's a
Gibson custom shop.
Speaker 2: Just take it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those days are long gone. Come to the Come
to the Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show. Oh yeah, I'm
hosting it. I'm the MC, so that should make you
want to go there too. It's that the Silverton is
in the end of a going into early June, and
I highly suggest that we had a great time in November,
and it looks like we're gonna be doing him twice
a year, so I'm gonna have I'm gonna have somebody
else to talk about it. Eventually. Speaking of having somebody on,
my good close personal friend Keith Roth will be on
on Thursday for all the Patreon folks, Saturday for the
rest of the world. Uh, talking about his brand new
record that just came out as first ever solo record.
He also known from The Dictators and I believe he
was playing with Manitoba's Wild Kingdom and used to play
with David Johansson. And we're gonna get into that because
obviously we know David Johansson is no longer with us.
Another sad sad loss and rock and roll and serious XM.
He's on hair Nation and I think he's on the
Boneyard louse. He's fucking Boone Yard. You know. Ah, all right,
is there any news I have to get into before
I get into the kiss bullshit? I don't think so.
I think I thought of something, but I didn't write
it down. That happens a lot with me. I should
keep a pen and paper with me at all times,
you know, song ideas, jokes, what I'm going to talk
about on the show this evening, stuff like that. Yeah,
there's that. So obviously the news dropped about the kiss
army gimmick thing going on here in Las Vegas at
the Virgin and oh part of me, I gotta take
a sip of my delicious beer. Oh my god, is
that good? God? Damn is that good? Oh? Yeah? Wednesday, Wednesday,
I was in Hollywood hosting Soundcheck Live. And if you're
gonna be in Hollywood in April, April twenty thirty is
going to do the next show, and that's gonna be
the last one until I believe September, because of touring
schedules of the great Forlazzo, who does a great job
curating that show every single month. So it's a great
time Hollywood and Highland. It's free Lucky Strike Soundcheck Live.
I suggest you do it. So the news dropped and
I do have I do have the press release or
the uh just the release everybody saw on Facebook and
ironically this came out. So this was yesterday, and I
think it was Friday Friday that Gene Simmons announced or
they announced that Gene was canceling all of his dates. Um,
we all know it's low ticket sales. I don't think
this had anything to do with it what soever, whatsoever.
Part of it's take oclock. I'm at workings. It's like
fucking nine am, eight am the gross, So I look,
this Kiss announcement has absolutely nothing to do with Gene.
I think that is just completely completely low ticket sales.
I've seen some of the maps and the unsold seats,
and Jean's in bigger venues. You know, he's doing theaters
and stuff like that. But here's the thing is, he's
not gonna fill those fucking theaters. He's got to be
doing clubs. But here's the problem. He's asking for way
too much money. So the only way to make that
money is to put them in a theater to try
to sell all those tickets. Jeane, we love you, man,
but you gotta be smart. You're not getting Kiss money. Now,
it's just not gonna happen. So there you go. Now,
it's also on the promoters who booked it. They should
have fucking known. I mean, this is a fucking business.
They're in the music business. They should know this. They
should be able to do math that. If it's not
gonna sell, they're fucked. It's a lot of money put
up for a performer, and yes, it's a Jeene Simmons
from Kiss. It's a lot of money. It's a lot
of fucking money, and there it is. That's why, I mean,
they're gonna lose their ass. Why not cut the ties
and just fucking call it, call the tour. It's that simple.
It's math is business, no tickets, no shows. Gene wanted
too much money, and I saw the figure pretty fucking big.
It's also what she said. So yeah, there you go.
That's if you're wondering why Jeane Simmons canceled his tour,
there it is his ticket sales. He wanted way too
much fucking money to play. They're not selling enough tickets
to make the money. There it is. So it has
absolutely nothing to do with the uh celebrating fifty yards
of fifty yards, fifty years of the Kiss Army experience
and apparently it's the ultimate fan experience November fourteenth to
the sixteenth this year in Las Vegas. Now a lot
of places are reporting this is going to be a
this Kiss show that they're going to do. They're gonna
play for the first time since they retired in twenty
twenty three, so twenty three, yeah, December twenty twenty three.
It just doesn't seem like it's that fucking long ago.
Oh good job, Billboard fucking blur out everything so you
can't fucking read it. Suck my ass, uh I fuck it,
go loudwire Steero Grim and apparently it's unmasked. Apparently there's
no fucking makeup. And that's what I was, you know,
in the in this fucking press in. The press release
says in celebration of Kiss Armies fiftieth anniversary and thirtieth
anniversary or the first Kiss Fan Convention, Kiss Army Storms
Vegas will take place at the Virgin Hotel, Law Vegas
from November sixth, fourteenth to sixteenth, twenty twenty five. You know,
I really used to be in radio. You can tell
them out of practice, this exclusive everything Kiss Parade Paradise
marks the first time Kiss has performed together since retiring
from touring in twenty twenty three December. Full schedule, ac
dues to be announced, Bruce Culick, other special guest interactions,
Oh god, part of me interactive activities. And I'm sure
the comments, Oh who fucking you're yawning because you show sucks? Yeah,
well it is what it is, exclusive experiences. More now
it says Kiss is playing. It does not say on
here that it's an unmasked show, but oo maybe three
days save all yep on Sino says unmasked photo with
Kiss access to the Kiss Unmasked live show. There it
is okay, Q and A with Kiss members, all Kiss content,
panels and activities and curate a Kiss Army Storms Vegas
gift sign, poster photos, Kiss memorabilia, collectible, collectible, laminate and lanyard.
So pre sale March twenty seven. So the show is
unmasked and that's I didn't see that part until now.
It's a good thing I did my homework, no wondering.
The fucking ratings are so good. Hold on, you know
the sip of here, Oh my god, that's delicious. And
of course you know that would make sense because there
was an unmasked photo that went along with a lot
of the stuff that I saw. So there it is
Kiss Unmasked Vegas, the first show since the retirement. Now
here's the here's the stickler point. A lot of people
are pissed. A lot of people told you so, but
Kiss said it was the end of the road. It
was the retirement from touring. They left the door open
for this. They left the gauntlet ready, They left those
elder doors wide open to do something like this. There's
no Kiss Cruise? Is there a Kiss Cruise? I don't
think there's a Kiss Cruise this year. I think the
Kiss Cruise is done. Why not have a party in Vegas?
Good for them? I do it. I see nothing wrong
with it. I mean, it's not like they signed a
contract in blood Motley. They have a chance to play,
go out and fucking play. It's better this than the
fucking avatars. Nobody wants to see the avatars, so dumb
this You actually get to see Kiss play, not in makeup,
which we've been saying all along. There's a lot of
people like me, and it's nothing against Tommy and Eric.
It's just we don't want to see them in Ason
Peter's makeup. I know, beating a dead horse, YadA, YadA, YadA.
I saw it when I saw A Kiss twenty twelve.
I didn't go to the end of the road tour.
I was bored, felt like they were going through the motions.
It wasn't good. It wasn't the kiss that I remember,
played the songs. I mean, I was so excited it's
fucking kiss, fucking kiss. Now when I go see them
unmasked without makeup, that's a different story. That's a completely
different story. Now that I know for sure it's unmasked,
I might go. May mean, if somebody gives you tickets.
A couple of weeks ago, there was a large group
of Kiss type folk in town, and this is obviously
what they were discussing, because there was They were at
the Virgin where this is going to take place, Keith LaRue,
a bunch of Kiss podcasters. How they chose those people
have no fucking idea, But maybe they wanted fans input.
People have theories, People have theories about why these people
were chosen. I don't know. I'm not going to speculate.
It seemed like it was Keith LaRue that was running
this whole thing. Doc McKee was there too, so obviously
Doc's got to be part of it. I mean, Doc's
gonna be fucking part of it. Maybe they want to
fan in, but maybe they want a fan in. But
for people that didn't complain or not complain call out bullshit,
maybe that's why is he didn't get the call. Yes,
I know this isn't a Kiss podcast, and thank god
it isn't. Thank god it is. And I love look,
I love the shout out Loud cast guys, God bless them.
Obviously good friends with the Three Sides guys. I don't
know anybody else, but thank god I didn't fall into that.
I have so much fun when I go on those shows.
Don't get me wrong, I love going on there, just
talking about my favorite fucking band of all time. But
Jesus Christ, you think that Elvis World is bad? The
Elvis Tribute artist world. I know people in that world,
and backstage of those tournaments, those tournaments, those competitions, it's
like Toddlers and tierras, except old chubby guys in fucking
jumpsuits pretending to be Elvis. The Kiss Podcast fandom World
takes that to a whole new level. Thank god, I'm
not mixed up in it. Yes, I talk Kiss. Not
every day, well not every day on here. I mean
it usually comes up every fucking interview, usually start talking
about Kiss. But yeah, I think it's cool. Man. Look,
if you want to go to this thing, go to
this thing. I think it's going to be a good
time for all of you hardcore kiss for now. Something
tells me this is not going to be cheap because
this is basically this is basically a Kiss convention headlined
by a Kiss show. It's exactly what it is. And
with the show including the three nights stay. Oh see
now that the ship is on the bottom here I'm
reading it. Now you get a picture with the band,
access to the show, three nights at the Virgin Hotel Q.
And as with the members, they've got to be selling
the concert tickets. We all know that's you're gonna be
able to buy tickets to the concert or the convention
without having to pay VIP for all that. I don't yeah,
I'll fucking know it is. I don't know. Maybe I'll
be able to get in, who knows, I know people,
Maybe I'll call in a favor. That'd be pretty cool.
I would go see it, I really would. It's no makeup.
I don't know, it's it's so hard. I will maybe
Paul will sound good because he hasn't sang in a while.
Who the fuck knows, I don't know. I don't care.
I just don't care. But I'm not gonna Like I said,
the non makeup it is really I can't even fucking talk.
I'm tired. I want to drink more beer. I'm just
gonna leave it at that. I said my piece. That's it.
I said my piece. Go see the show, have fun,
enjoy the kiss. Me and I kind of want to go.
I'm not gonna lie. I kind of want to go now.
I talked myself into it, but I don't but I do.
Maybe Ac can play there, that'd be pretty cool, featuring
Todd Howorth. How badass would that be? I really want
to go. I'm for this. I'm one hundred percent behind this.
I think everybody should do this. If you're a Kiss fan,
come and hang out in Vegas and enjoy this. I'm
behind it. And yes that he is me kissing ass.
So Ac can play. I'm kidding, that's it. I'm not
even gonna play the fucking Oultro Music. We'll see you
guys on Thursday at Patreon. Folks on Thursday, and probably
one or two times before that. Rest of the world.
You get the next show on Saturday, Keith Roth Series XM,
The Dick Taters, David Johansson brand new solo record available now,
and then the second I leave for a cruise of
the Edge. So probably, well not probably, maybe I'll bank
