Thanks to all who came to our live show in Philadelphia this past Saturday night at The Troc. Great time and appreciate all the love. Also thanks to Vinnie Moore for being a guest. This Saturday me, Don & Jim hit The Token Lounge in Westland MI by Detroit. Hope you can join us for comedy, Q&A, trivia and much more. I’ll have both of my books for sale as well as T shirts and more. Come hang!
Thanks to Judas Priest for coming by my radio show last night. Good to have Priest back in action with a new album coming in July. We hung out for 90 minutes, took calls, and played a new track. Audio already on Youtube (and my news section on this site) and also On Demand on the SiriusXM app. Thanks to Rob, Richie and Glenn for coming in. Tour coming in the Fall! More from the new album when I can play it.
I am aware that once again Paul Stanley was asked about coming on TMS by a fan at a Jewish center in SF. It was caught on video and once again he gave the Wayne’s World line. I love that his FANS are asking him. But the fans are the bosses right? Seems Paul is much more comfortable on shows like The Talk and others and that’s fine. He doesn’t need our show and we are fine as the longest running show in VH1 history without him. But as proven by the clip his FANS are asking him and he has no real excuse besides “Wayne’s world”? As I said when he called us that on Twitter, I don’t take offense to that. I have jokingly called the show that myself! We don’t take ourselves so serious. Paul is very sensitive as he says himself in his new book. So shows like The Talk and CNN where he will get questions a producer fed the host from a latest bio on exactly what he wants is a perfect fit for him. Many Kiss and rock fans don’t watch those shows but at least he is more comfortable there it seems and that’s fine. Our little “Wayne’s World” was good enough for Maiden, AC/DC, Sabbath, GnR, Paul Rodgers, Sammy Hagar, Metallica, Aerosmith Rush, and many many more. Even the last few bands Kiss worked with Motley and now Def Leppard have all been guests on TMS, embrace the show, and realize the importance of it. So all good by me. Wayne’s World was a hugely popular film, TMS is a popular show around the globe with rock and metal fans. Thanks to TMS fans everywhere for all the support and to Paul for at least watching. I mean you couldn’t reach a conclusion on something without having watched right? As has always been the case our doors remain wide open to discuss ALL aspects of an artists career. Party on!

Honestly, who gives a rip what Paul Stanley has to say? He’s been off-the-wall crazy with his comments these past few months. That Metal Show is an awesome show and we are all grateful to have something like TMS on TV. Paul seems to be a very bitter and cranky old man these days. His band hasn’t been relevant in over 10 years. They can’t sell tickets anymore. Truth be told, the fans were never the boss. They’ve been lying to us for years. The HOF nonsense is proof of they don’t give a rip about the fans. We all wanted to see the original guys perform one last time. Anyway, some people can’t look at themselves in the mirror and laugh at themselves once and a while. They take themselves too seriously – like Paul Stanley seems to do. TMS is perfectly fine without Paul or Gene. Wayne’s World or not, your show is relevant, Kiss isn’t. Rock on Eddie & company!
Its sad to see bcuz ive been a fan for 30+years but Do you really believe that he was being truthful when he said the fans are the boss? Its all bullshit and its done by just about all acts…the band is running on fumes now…touring with def leppard? Blah…whats next, ozzfest? They can share the bill with 20 other bands that cant sell out on their own….I really think the end is near (if not already here) and its disappointing for a lot of reasons but mainly its bcuz they stayed at the party too long…40 years is a long time/good run….”hang it up, hang it up, oooh ooooh ooooh…its only right now”…
Im a KISS fan all around but lately with Gene and Paul on the warpath against their own fans on the HoF and some other opinions, ive kinda dialed back. Especially on Gene. I think a fan of yours was right when he tweeted that Paul is treating TMS like the HoF treated KISS. (Still think Paul just didnt want to play with Ace and Pete but thats over). Still a KISS fan but they are falling short lately. Having your opinion is one thing, being an idiot about it is another.
Eddie. In your opinion, do you believe a fake kiss band could tour without gene and paul in the future? Paul thinks so
Ken. That’s cool. Glad you had a great experience! But To play devils advocate, I wonder how gracious and accommodating old Paul would’ve been if you weren’t buying his book?
If you’ve ever been to book signings, the author usually sits behind a desk, quickly signs your book and sends you on your way. Despite the fact that there were 700 people waiting in line, Paul never even took a seat at the desk. He told the staff he’s going to take pictures with everyone, stood and chatted with every KISS fan and was charming and gracious with everyone there. It was a fantastic event.
Watch it Ken…your story isn’t fitting the agenda of the Paul haters on here. But hey, this is Ed’s site so par for the course.
When u have guests that come on and talk about going w/o a shower for months, that turns people off. As well as talking about throwing literal pieces of crap from a toilet. When the latter was discussed uou could see the excitement in Eddie’s face. This is when I stopped watching. Obviously the waynes world comparison is a great comparison.
We have a sense of humor. And if that’s Wayne’s World so be it. We are the longest running show in VH1 history. I guess someone likes it and is watching..
