It's now been a few years since KISS sold EVERYTHING!! And we wanted to ask the question. Are the new released albums and merchandise keeping the KISS ARMY happy?

Is side 1 or side 2 better on each of the 1st 8 records? We got a email from a viewer and they wanted a SWEET 16 episode and we are on it! What will be battling for the top spots in the SWEET 16's we do today?

This week we talk abut the new release from KISS and what we would like to see next and changes to what we have now.

With such a long career KISS has a lot of years to choose from as far as what was their best. But does it go without saying that 1976 as absolutely that year?

So there is a ton to talk about leading up to the KISS INDY EXPO! Join us as we talk about all the weeks KISS news and what to expect in the coming weeks.

KISS fans spend a lot of time trying to understand decisions made by members of the band. But in the past couple of months Vinnie Vincent has gone out of his way to confuse and anger some members of the KISS ARMY. This week we ask what is going on with Vinnie Vincent?

Well it's the anniversary of the Amazing KISS record DESTROYER! The thing is so many people so it's their best record...But is it? It has come out is many ways. Box set, re-issue, blood red vinyl and so much more. We will get in to all of this tonight as well as much much more!

So it's no secret that our own Joey Cassata is the new drummer for Twisted Sister. This week he joins us to tell us how this happened and what it means to him....

So much happened to KISS between the years 1979 and 1981. Dynasty in 79, Unmasked in 80 and Music from the Elder and Killers in 81. Then there is lineup changes. Peter Criss is out Eric Carr is in. Ace Frehley is getting ready to leave. You could right a paper on the music changes, and even the way the band looked went through a huge change. This could be the most controversial era for the band. Fans started to think the band left the KISS ARMY behind. Let's look at this era and talk about the music the look and the attitude of the era.

KISS ARMY! So much is happening this year and it's only February! This week we are going to talk about Joe seeing Peter Criss in North Carolina at the Mad Monster Party. Gene Simmons making an announcement with the Fanboy Expo people about a new Legends of Rock Expo in Las Vegas and Paul Stanley will be at the Indy KISS Expo in April! We will be working on getting even more info for you by the time we go live so TUNE IN 7pm est and let's talk about it
