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!

It’s certainly no loss for us, as far as I’m concerned. Good on ya’, Eddie. \MM/
First off, I miss KK Downing but it appears he doesn’t have the desire to tour or perform anymore. That being said, I am still a Priest fan. Richie Faulkner is an able replacement. They have been known for having numerous drummers, I still miss Les Binks, I just hope they don’t lose anymore core members. On April 26 I attended an LA Kiss game. Paul Stanley was at the pregame for the purpose of signing his book. I expected an assembly line of give book to person who shoves it in front of Paul for a quick signature before it is quickly removed by another person and returned to the owner. I was pleasantly surprised that he was standing by himself ( except for three cheerleaders) behind the signing table. He greeted everyone individually, took his time to sign a legible autograph and even took a photo with you if you wanted. He was very gracious. As far as TMS is concerned. You don’t need Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons or any number of rockers who refuse to appear. The show does well without them. It is that “Wayne’s World” atmosphere that makes it more appealing to me. It is not slick. It is entertaining and provides great information on not just new music, but “old school” performers also. Keep up the good work Eddie, Don and Jim.
Eddie, you provide a service that is hugely valued by a mass amount of people. Thank you for that, it seems as if PS and GS have zero value for a fan base that has stood by them for so long. Although I am only 18 and have only seen New Kiss perform (5 times), I still feel like a Kiss Army member. And with everything that PS and GS have done in the past year alone makes it hard to passionate about the band. I doubt I will ever spend another cent on anything Kiss related. Then again, I did already give Kiss hundreds of dollars in tickets and merch sales, so I guess they win and I am left here like a pile of dirt.
Dont feel so bad….im 42 and been listening to kiss sice 1975-76….I imagine I spent a few more dollars than you have over the years….lol..
You’ve been listening to Kiss since you were 3 years old? What happened? Parents couldn’t afford a babysitter?
Why would you feel bad Cole? Either “you” like Kiss or you don’t. Why let someone else influence “your” opinion of what you deem is enjoyable. That’s kinda the whole point of being a fan. You’ve seen them 5 times…did you enjoy it? I’m assuming you did or you wouldn’t have gone back 4 other times so why let something someone said bias your opinion. In the big scheme of things…who cares if Kiss is on the TMS show…Eddie doesn’t need them and Kiss doesn’t need Eddie. Hey, it’d be great if it all worked out but like life, it hasn’t. And like life there’s plenty of room to enjoy both. I don’t always agree with what any of the guys in Kiss say, nor do I always agree with ET’s viewpoint but I’m a fan of both.
It’s funny when Gene and Paul were asked the question about preforming at RRHOF with Ace in Peter they answered about “That was the past ” but most the resent TV shows I see them preform the songs are always from the PAST!! If it all about now and the Future as Gene always says. Why don’t they preform only the NEW songs and see how that works out!
Probably because sonic turd and monster suck..lol
Eddie kills em with kindness again!
