How The KISS Rock And Roll Over Fan Remix Was Made!

lundi 11 mai 2026 • Duration 01:29:46

Episode 667. Ken Nardi is back! This episode he talks about his brand new remix of KISS ROCK AND ROLL OVER. WOW! This release is pretty amazing!

From Ken, “Basic changes are that I added a bit of grit to the bass to make it closer to Gene’s live sound, removed some of the reverb from the vocals, compressed the guitars to enhance the distortion a little and added a few accents drum accents and cymbals to some songs to make them more dynamic and more like the way Peter played them live.

All-in-all, it’s probably as close to a real remix as possible without access to the actual multitrack tapes.

This album was a return to form after the more “experimental” DESTROYER album and represents KISS just after gaining super-star status. Some fans find certain arrangements to be a little “rushed” not unlive DRESSED TO KILL, which makes sense considering the pace and frequency the band were releasing new material at that time. I have used some “artistic freedom” to replace the fade-outs on almost every song with hard endings or extended fades to let everyone hear all of the improvised playing and singing that was hidden in those fades. All of these changes come at the end of the songs, so hopefully it will not take away from the main song arrangements. There are a few more easter eggs as well like Paul’s “Take Me” count-in from the demo, Gene’s backing vocals from the “Baby Driver” demo, Paul’s live backing vocals on “Hard Luck Woman”, a bit of Paul’s electric guitar blended in on “I Want You” along with the extended riff before the solo and more.

The biggest changes are to the song “See You In Your Dreams”. Gene has always said this song didn’t really turn out how he had imagined it and even re-recorded it for his solo album less than 2 years later. For this version I have combined elements of both along with some added hand claps and percussion to give it more of a “gospel revival” feel which I think maybe gene was going for on his solo album. I have also incorporated the intro from his solo album version and used his solo album vocals to extend the 2nd verse and some other changes Gene made for that recording. If this doesn’t suit your taste, I have also included the original arrangement as a bonus track.”

Long Lost 1997 Interview with TIM ROZNER Tour/Production Manager from the KISS Reunion Tour

lundi 16 février 2026 • Duration 02:43:45

Episode 656. After recently moving Michael Brandvold opened up boxes he had in storage for decades, including one box filled with cassette tapes. They are slowly being digitized to share with everyone. Be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss future recordings found in the foot locker.

This interview is with TIM ROZNER, Tour/Production Manager for the KISS Reunion Tour, was conducted by Michael Brandvold for his early website KISS OTAKU on 10/21/97.

This interview is filled with all sorts of minutia and behind the scenes discussion about the KISS REUNION TOUR! Remember, this interview happened a short time after the tour had ended.

RIP TIM ROZNER.

His show business production career continued for over 45 years. He worked with many of his “rock heroes” including Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Robbie Robertson, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaugan, Willie Nelson, Johnny Winter, BB King, Willie Dixon, Hubert Sumlin, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Vince Gill, The Grateful Dead, Tom Jones, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2, Aerosmith, Kiss, Heart, Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Don Felder. Tim provided gift tickets to countless family members and friends so they could view Tim’s shows and enjoy the experience together. Ticket requests were often a second full-time job for Tim.

His work on Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festivals in Chicago, Dallas, LA and New York were feats of production mastery. They used rotating stages so that there was never a break in the music during these festivals that lasted 10-12 hours each day.

Martin Popoff Takes Us Back to 1976 with His New Book KISS ‘76

lundi 9 février 2026 • Duration 01:21:26

Episode 655. Take a lively look back at the most significant 12-month span in Kiss’s career, 50 years on, joining Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter as they conquer the world.

1976 suffered no shortage of notable events… Cincinnati’s “Big Red Machine” beat the Yankees in the World Series. Jimmy Carter beat Gerald Ford at the ballot box. Rocky lit up the big screen. And some guy named Bruce Jenner lit up the Summer Olympics. And it was all set against the backdrop of the United States Bicentennial.

Kiss stomped into the fray with their platform boots, barnstorming the world and still finding time to record and release two of their all-time bestselling albums. Formed in 1973, Kiss had already grabbed attention with their outrageous makeup, stage show, and (of course) music. But in 1976 the band truly took off, unleashing Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over in a span of just eight months and logging more than 100 performances in North America and Europe.

In Kiss ’76, Martin Popoff presents month-by-month narratives following the band around the world, across stages and through studios. The book features:
Detailed analyses of both albums, including the recording sessions, sleeve art, and more
Info panels detailing the albums’ personnel, key dates, and track listings
Listings of tour dates and venues
Month-by-month sidebars offering concurrent world, entertainment, and music news, putting the band’s impressive achievements in the context of that momentous year
Stunningly illustrated pages featuring performance and offstage photography, as well as period memorabilia and flat art

So yes, as Quarto writes, there’s all that, but also a look at pop culture month-by-month, including the toys and TV shows, births and deaths, crime and war and crashes and most pointedly, Kiss in perspective against other bands. There’s also a good look at The Originals too.
