Early results on the year end special poll on the home page at the time I am writing this have Maiden, Rush and VH leading the top 3 for what shows I will do radio specials on in December. Kiss is in 4th just a few votes from VH. Interesting to see and the top 3 bands will get all 3 hours of one of my show for the holiday specials. Voting will close December 1, so whatever are the top 3 get the specials! Be sure to vote for your favorite of the choice there.
Thanks to Nuno Bettencourt, Carmine Appice and Joe Lynn Turner who were my guests last night on my SiriusXM show. As usual you can hear the interviews on the SiriusXM app if you are a subscriber and missed them. Extreme announced a 12 city tour and I will be hosting them in NJ 1/20 at Bergen PAC. Carmine and Joe have a new band together called Rated X. I’ll be seeing both of them Thanksgiving Eve at Dingbatz at the benefit for Karl Cochran.
Please be sure to check the appearances on my home page. Many added and info is always changing. Hope to see you at these gigs if in the area.
Have my first call with VH1 about the new season of TMS this Friday. Taping starts in Feb. Feels good to start the TMS machine rolling again! More info when I have it.
Ran into Brian Johnson of AC/DC last night at SiriusXM. He and Angus (who I saw but didn’t get a chance to speak with) are making the promo rounds through tomorrow in NYC. The scheduling didn’t work for me to get time with them on this run but likely will have some time a little down the line. Both Brian and Angus have been on my radio shows and TMS and I look forward to speaking with them more. Brian is in amazing shape for his age and both seemed in great spirits (Brian was running to have a cigarette before his next interview!). Cool to see the guys and see them looking and sounding so positive when you consider some of the question marks surrounding the band with Malcolm and Phil. They will be on Stern tomorrow. Should be interesting.
I’m getting my every few years colonoscopy tomorrow. I bring that up because it is so important for us as we get older to not be ashamed of such things and get screened. My Dad had colon cancer and caught it early and is thankfully fine now. Ronnie James Dio did not get screened. If he had we may still have him with us today. It was a huge honor for me to host Dio’s memorial five years ago and I will never forget his doctor telling me it’s so important to get the word out about screening. Also congrats to Peter Criss who is getting an award tonight in NYC for his work creating awareness for male breast cancer. Peter was nice enough to ask me to present the award for him but because I am prepping for my screening tomorrow I couldn’t. Peter is doing great work helping to raise awareness and I’m happy he is getting honored for it.

Hey Eddie,
I’ve got a question about Ace Frehley. I was at the show in New Brunswick. Enjoyed it very much. Only I was puzzled by his choice to include “Love Gun” in his set. I always considered that a signature Paul Stanley song. Why would Ace choose to play it during his show. Thought you could lend some insight. Good luck with your screening.
I also think that, King and Detroit should be subbed out for other more Ace type stuff, but the majority of people want to hear the better known stuff, Ace was part of the song and likes it and his solo in it. Thanks
So you have no issue with Kiss playing Shock Me and Beth with Tommy and Eric?
I don’t see Ace bringing out a fake Starchild and fake Demon to perform it.
Prepping is not fun, is it? But it’s fantastic when you get that clear report! Good luck tomorrow, Eddie > it’s worth it, man, for your continued health!
Congrats to Peter Criss & looking forward to hearing more about AC/DC > can’t wait to get the new album and see ’em on tour next year!
Encouraging folks to get cancer screenings?!?!? You know what? That’s pretty cool, Eddie. Thanks.
Hey Ed,
Just turned 50 in July. Had my screening last Monday. It is important but that prep is no fun.
Keep up the good work

Laughed my ass off to this one….best one yet.
LMAO!! Real Paul Stanley does it again! I can’t help but laugh everytime you post a comment on here. Seriously Eddie should have you on his SiriusXM show or TMS. Would absolutely be hilarious! You and Don could tell jokes all night long! Assuming he is on with Eddie when you’re on.
dude, give it up, this stopped being funny after your first post, now it’s just embarassing
It is stupid, but apparently Dana and a bunch of others here find the childish humor to be funny.
Ummm okay Mike,
Why do you assume because I approve a comment that it means that I like it?
If it doesn’t contain racial slurs, threats of violence or anything truly objectionable (although, this maybe to you), our policy is to post it. You cannot delete something because you think it is stupid and immature, and God knows, there have been many of those over the years.
Have a great day,
Dana from ET.com
Cmon Dana…fess up….if you laugh at my name on here….you have to chuckle a little at RPS. 🙂
Your name is something unto itself my friend 😉 LOL!
D 🙂
Threats of any kind should be reported to POLICE FORTHWITH! You only delete them?. To simply delete and ignore a threat is extremely irresponsible. Come on Dana
Chris,
I was referring to a mild threat, not anything that would involve a legal crime. I didn’t realize I had to be that specific..sheesh.
Dana
I think its funnier seeing the RealSeriousKissFans.
Lighten up guys…
My wife thinks your name is hysterical
lighten up Pete…get a sense of humour….or has The Real Paul Stanley touched a nerve in you and you have to stand up for your boy Paul……suck it up princess
Hi, wanna talk about it?
I’m speechless for once…
There needs to be an ET.com posters Hall of Fame and this guy has to be the first inductee! Absolutely uproariously hysterical!!!
